Healing the downtrodden S-class orcs, the little females are being snatched up

Chapter 162: Backer.

When Ares was eating, Lu Xiao kept paying attention to his expression, wondering if he really liked the pickled fish. She was still a little worried that Ares would hide his true thoughts because of her preference.

But seeing Ares sweating from eating and his eyes clear and bright, he showed no sign of forbearance and the smile on his lips widened a little: "Ares, after we go to Duke Galliodro's place this week, we will go to choose a hovercraft and then finalize the location of the Earl's Palace, right?"

These were things they had agreed to do before, but because there were too many things to do, they were never carried out.

Now that we finally have some time, we must seize the time to implement it.

But the main reason was that she wanted to go shopping with Ares.

Ares naturally had no objection to this and nodded, "Okay."

Lu Xiao did not ask Ares what he thought of the pickled fish, because Ares had already proved with his actions that he liked it.

After the meal, the aroma of food was still wafting through the office. Kevin couldn't help sniffing when he came in to clean up, and looked at Lu Xiao in surprise: "Sir, what dish did you send? Did you cook it yourself? It smells so good?"

He had just eaten the small cake that Lu Xiao treated everyone in the office to, but as soon as he came in and smelled the fragrance, he felt hungry again.

Lu Xiao smiled and replied, "It's pickled fish, but it's not made by me. It's made by Robin, a chef in the S-level shelter. He has set up a restaurant there now."

"So that's how it is. I wonder if he accepts takeout orders!" If he does, then he would also buy some to try. After all, as long as the delicious food is not cooked by Lu Xiao himself, he may be able to eat it.

However, Lu Xiao didn't know about the takeaway.

But Kevin didn't feel any regret at all. He had been in the military for so long, how could he not know someone? He could always find out. Moreover, even if he couldn't find out, he could always go to the S-level shelter in person, right?

Although such a place is extremely unlucky for males, that was in the past. Ever since the appearance of Lord Lu Xiao, they are no longer as taboo when mentioning the S-level shelter.

On Saturday morning, Lu Xiao agreed on a time with Admiral Clan and went to Duke Luo's mansion in Galio together.

Ares also accompanied them.

The night before, Lu Xiao and Ares prepared a gift for Lady Cecilia. In addition to the tea that the imperial noble females liked, there was also a pair of chubby and cute ceramic ornaments that symbolized good luck.

Lu Xiao chose it herself. She thought Cecilia would like this cute thing.

When they arrived at the Duke of Galliodero's mansion, the butler had received the news in advance and was waiting at the door early in the morning. When he saw them get off the car, he hurried out to greet them: "Mr. Clan, Mr. Lu Xiao, Mr. Ares, good day."

Upon hearing this, Lu Xiao couldn't help but look up at the humble and respectful old butler.

How a family behaves can often be seen from its housekeeper.

Obviously, everyone in the Duke of Galiodiro's mansion was very polite and did not neglect Ares because of his status. This made her have a very good impression of the Duke's mansion. When they followed the old butler to the door of the main hall, Admiral Clan and Ares did not enter, but said to Lu Xiao: "Your grandmother wants to see you alone, so I will take Ares to familiarize himself with the environment first."

Lu Xiao didn't expect this to happen. She was a little surprised, but she could accept it. She nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go find you guys later."

After saying this, he gave Ares a soothing look.

The old housekeeper then took Lu Xiao inside alone. At this moment, Cecilia was already sitting on a chair waiting for her. Seeing her come in, she said, "Long time no see, little Lu Xiao. I thought you wouldn't come."

"How could that be, grandma? There was an accident recently, so I was delayed. I'm really sorry. I brought you some gifts as a small apology!" Lu Xiao handed the things to the housekeeper with a natural smile, and then sat down naturally without Cecilia's greeting.

Seeing her act so naturally, without any of the restraint she had after entering the Duke's Mansion, but instead a feeling of being at home, Cecilia felt very good, and the smile on her face became much more genuine.

Since she had agreed to Admiral Clan's request and decided to use the reputation of the Galliodero family to be Lu Xiao's backer, it was also necessary for Lu Xiao to treat Galliodero as her own family.

If both sides have all the reservations and concerns, then there is no point.

It can be said that the test began from the first moment Lu Xiao stepped in here, but fortunately, Lu Xiao successfully got full marks.

"I've heard about your story. I've also heard that you're very courageous and helped your father solve an important case. You're great." Cecilia's eyes were full of approval. Their Galliodro family, as an old family in the empire, had a large collection of books.

Cecilia had read it since she was a child, so she knew very well that at the beginning of the empire, these females were also very brave and good at fighting. They were completely different from today, when they seemed to have noble status and rights but had actually become useless.

Apart from eating, drinking, having fun, and enjoying the comfortable life brought by being male, they have made no contribution to society.

Now, she seemed to see in Lu Xiao the courage, sunshine, vitality and strong inner core that only first-generation females have. How could she not be happy?

"It's just a coincidence." Lu Xiao didn't think she was as good as Cecilia said. It was just that the situation at that time was more suitable for her. Moreover, in the end, she still had to rely on Lieutenant General Fred and others to escort her at the risk of their lives to leave.

This is the result of the hard work of a group of people, and not just her achievement.

Seeing that she won such an honor and remained calm and true to her original intention, Cecilia finally couldn't hide the smile she wanted to hide: "You have suffered a lot. If you have any problems in the future, you can come here to find me. Galliodro will be your solid backing and will never let you suffer any grievances."

When Lu Xiao heard this, surprise flashed across her face. She knew the reason why Admiral Clan brought her here was to make the Duke of Galliodro's Mansion support her. However, she did not expect that Cecilia would promise her so easily.

She didn't even pay anything.

Seeing Lu Xiao's eyes unconsciously widen with a look of surprise, Cecilia felt at this moment that the female in front of her was young after all and did not know how to hide her thoughts. Instead, she was not annoying, but rather more likable, making people want to tease her deliberately.

"Why don't you believe what I say?"
