Chapter 44 Attention.
Smellian was very uneasy at this moment. Before coming here, he had prepared himself to be humiliated and whipped by Duke Luxia.
After all, the rumors about Duke Luxia in the empire were not friendly.
But just now he met the Duke Luxia who was recognized as "lustful" and "brutal". Not only did the other party not humiliate him verbally, but he also had no intention of punishing him. He also told him that there was no need for those rules to live here.
This was not what he thought at all.
He even wondered if he was dreaming.
Because all this was too unrealistic.
"Do you want to go to the room and take a look?" Seeing Smellian standing there in silence for a long time, the old butler finally couldn't help but speak to break the silence.
He didn't want to accompany him here to "stand in punishment" all the time.
Smellian raised his eyes to the calm eyes of the old butler and nodded.
He felt that he also needed to do something to divert attention.
The old housekeeper took him upstairs to the room, opened the door and said, "The decoration of all the guest rooms is the same. If you have any special preferences, you can tell me and I will arrange for someone to change it."
"Don't bother, this is already good." Even if he lived at home, it would be no different.
"Then you take a rest first. I will come to call you at dinner time. There is no restricted area here. If you want to look around, you can do it."
After the old housekeeper explained everything clearly, he turned and left.
After the old housekeeper left, Smelian stood silently in the room for a long time before slowly walking to the bed and sitting down.
His handsome face with no expression looked a little confused.
Next door, Grace, who followed Lu Xia back to the room, seemed to have something to say.
Lu Xia changed her clothes and looked up at the man's hesitant eyes: "What do you want to say?"
Hearing the voice, Grace walked towards her. The man had changed out of his clothes for going out, and his aura was not so sharp in his home clothes.
His hand naturally wrapped around Lu Xia's waist: "Smellian looks a little uneasy."
Unexpectedly, Grace was going to say this. Lu Xia raised her eyebrows: "What should we do? Should I go and coax him?"
"That's not what I meant. I mean, I can do it for you."
Lu Xia looked at Grace, who was sharing her worries naturally. She always felt that this guy paid too much attention to Smellian.
However, she didn't want to worry about Smellian. It was good for someone to do it for her. She nodded: "Whatever you want."
Pushing the man away, Lu Xia turned and went to the bathroom.
Although she didn't do anything, she had been in the institute for a whole morning. If she didn't take a shower, she would feel uncomfortable all over.
Grace watched Lu Xia disappear behind the bathroom door, her thin lips pursed into a straight line, and the gentle emotion in her eyes disappeared, and became particularly gloomy.

When the door of the room was knocked, Smellian was stunned for a moment, then got up and opened the door, and then looked at Grace who appeared outside the door.
He didn't know him, but he knew that he was the male son of the Duke of Leslie. Like him, he was an abandoned child given to Duke Lu Xia by the family.
He was a little surprised that the other party suddenly appeared here: "Is there
anything I can help you with?" "I came to see if you need any help." Grace's tone was natural, and it seemed that she really came here for this.
Smelian didn't think he was such a helpful person.
"Thank you, but no, I don't need any help, please go back." He didn't even know what was going on here, and didn't want to have too much interaction with the people here.
As for Grace's intentions, Smelian didn't think it was difficult to guess. After all, they were all males, and there was no need to say much about the inherent bad nature of males.
It was just that he had no interest in competing with Grace for anything.
"Okay, but Duke Lu Xia has no ill will towards you. Don't do anything to hurt her. Dinner will be ready. No matter
what you are dissatisfied with here, please don't show it and affect Lu Xia's mood for dinner."
After listening to his words, Smelian felt that this was his real purpose of coming here, specifically to warn him.
"I will pay attention, no need for your Excellency to worry."
"That's great, I wish you a happy life here." Grace raised the corner of her lips nonchalantly, then turned and left.
Smelian watched him disappear with a cold face, feeling a little confused.
Was Grace warning him for a female like Duke Lu Xia?
Grace, who had already left, did not think about what Smellian was thinking at the moment. He did what he wanted to do.
He did care about Smellian's existence, but he did not want this guy to do something to hurt Lu Xia out of ignorance. He would never allow that.
When he came down from upstairs, dinner was ready and the old housekeeper had already gone to call people.
Grace came to the dining room, pulled out the chair that Lu Xia would sit on, and personally set the tableware.
When he finished doing these things, Lu Xia just came down from upstairs: "Why didn't Smellian come down?"
"I'm here." Smellian, who had just walked into the dining room, responded and then received everyone's attention. This made him feel a little irritated, but he tried his best to restrain himself and did not show it.
Lu Xia saw him and smiled at him: "Then sit down. Have you seen the room? If you need anything, remember to find the old housekeeper. Don't be polite."
This was not the first time Lu Xia said this, but even so, Smellian felt uncomfortable. He felt that she was a little artificial, as if she was trying hard to be friendly and friendly, but he didn't know if it was a fake.
Although he had such doubts in his heart, he did not show it on his face. He lowered his eyes and looked submissive: "I know, thank you for your concern."
"You're welcome, sit down and eat." When Lu Xia said this, she had already sat down first, and then Grace naturally sat down at the seat next to her.
When Smelian saw Grace sitting down naturally, it was impossible for him not to be a little surprised.
You know, in the empire, no matter where, no one except the husband has the right to eat with the female master.
Even the concubine can't do it, let alone them as the husband's servants.
But now, Grace sat down naturally as the husband's servant, as if he had done this a thousand times.
Why is it like this?
Smelian felt that since he came here, his three views have been baptized.
His male father Enor, as the concubine of the leader of the Rafelde clan, has never eaten at the same table with his mother.
And he actually received such an honor on the first day he came here.
If you don't experience it yourself, who would believe it.
He sat down with a calm and indifferent look on his face, but his heart was filled with turbulent emotions. He didn't even know what he had eaten. He just felt as if he had not yet woken up from the dream.
