Chapter 194 Exposed.

After dinner that evening, Simon approached Lu Xia and asked, "Are you free tonight? I want to discuss something with you privately."

Lu Xia's heart skipped a beat. She had a hunch about what Simon was going to tell her, but she didn't expect him to find out so quickly.

She nodded, stood up and said, "Come with me to the study."

After watching them both leave, Cecil looked at Smelian in confusion: "What does Simon want from my sister?"

Smellian shook his head: "He didn't say anything just now, how would I know?"

Cecil gnashed his back teeth. "This guy, I always feel like he's trying to get close to me whenever he can."

Hearing this, Smellian glanced at him indifferently, his eyes silently saying, "Aren't you the same? We are all thousand-year-old foxes, why are you playing Liao Zhai here?"

Cecil didn't seem to sense the mockery in Smellian's eyes. He took a sip from his wine glass unhappily, then curled his lips and said, "I'm going back to my room first. You can eat slowly."

Smelian had actually finished eating long ago. After Cecil left, he didn't sit for long and went to the garden.

The roses in the garden have bloomed again these days, and they are so beautiful. It just rained again, so Smellian picked a few and planned to take them back to the room and put them in a vase, thinking that he would give them to Lu Xia later, and she would definitely like them.

At this moment in the study, Simon took the black tea that Lu Xia poured for him and held it in his hand.

"Your Excellency the Duke should know what I am going to say, right?"

Lu Xia didn't say anything else, but asked directly: "Have you found any results from your investigation?"

Simon nodded. "Thanks to you for the directions, there is some evidence that Grace should be in the Alliance Army."

He did not use the word "rebel army" to define Grace's current situation and identity, but instead used the three words "alliance army", which made Lu Xia look at him.

Hearing this result, Lu Xia was not so surprised. Thinking back to the abnormal behavior of Grace before she left, it seemed that he had the answer now.

She just didn't know why Grace chose to take such a path. As a major general of the Empire's First Military District, he should have known very well that this was a road of no turning back, but he still went on it without hesitation. What exactly was the reason that she cared about?

Seeing Lu Xia silent, Simon asked worriedly, "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine. Is there anything else you want to say besides this?"

Simon paused for a moment, stroking his fingers along the side of his teacup. He spoke hesitantly, "The investigation also revealed that both Smellian and Cecil were connected to him."

This answer surprised Lu Xia. She raised her eyebrows and looked at Simon: "Are you sure?"

"There are some clues pointing in the right direction, but we can't guarantee they are true. It's also possible that we are investigating in the wrong direction."

Simon didn't say anything definite, but Lu Xia knew that Simon wouldn't say that if he didn't have certain evidence. So did Smelian and Cecil really keep it a secret from her about their contact with Grace?

"Well, these three guys are really..."

Lu Xia didn't know how to comment for a moment. She was still a little angry, but because she knew the personalities of the three of them, she didn't think they could do anything to hurt her. On the contrary, she didn't feel any fear.

She looked at Simon and nodded. "I understand. Thank you for your hard work. By the way, after the gene fusion degree is improved, you can choose a gene you want. I believe this will not be difficult for you."

After all, Simon has successfully found two alien genes for her, and finding the third one is probably just a matter of time.

"Okay, I'll pay more attention." Simon didn't expect that he would have such an opportunity.

"When you get out, call Cecil in."

Simon knew that she might want to get the answer she wanted from Cecil.

Thinking of Cecil's character, Simon glanced at Lu Xia. It was obvious that Lu Xia knew their personalities very well and knew who had the better chance of a breakthrough.

Soon after he left, Cecil came in happily.

"Sister, are you looking for me?"

He was very happy that Lu Xia took the initiative to find him.

He moved over and sat directly next to Lu Xia with a smile on his face. Lu Xia looked at him and said, "Cecil, is there anything you want to tell me?"

Cecil was slightly stunned: "What are you talking about, sister, I don't understand what this means?"

He thought about it carefully and felt that he didn't seem to have anything to say to Lu Xia.

"Then let me remind you, Grace, is there any deal between you two?"

When he suddenly heard the word "Grace", the smile on Cecil's face suddenly froze. Obviously, he didn't expect that Lu Xia called him in for this matter.

So what did Lu Xia know? How much did she know? How did she know? Did Simon tell her?
At this moment, many thoughts flooded Cecil's mind, his heart tightened, his throat became dry, and he looked at Lu Xia with trepidation.

His emotion was obvious, and Lu Xia could tell at a glance.

"Don't want to say it, or can't say it?"

Lu Xia's voice was still gentle, as if she didn't want to blame him for this matter, but because of this, Cecil's sense of crisis became even stronger.

He pursed his lips and said, "Sister, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hide it from you. It's just that it's better if you don't know about this."

He knew very well that continuing to hide the truth would only make the situation worse.

"So you're admitting to having a connection with Grace, right?"

Cecil nodded: "Yes, there is a connection between him and me, but our original intention is for your own good."

"For my own good?" Lu Xia snorted softly. "Then tell me, what exactly do you want to do?"

Cecil bit his lip and said, "Grace doesn't want you to continue being oppressed by Her Majesty the Queen and endure those grievances, so he chose to open up a new path. I think he's right. Smellian thinks the same way, so the three of us are connected. But don't worry, sister. We have absolutely never done anything that goes against the people or crosses the line. We just want to change everything."

Seeing him say that, Lu Xia said, "Since there's still Smellian's matter here, why don't you call him in as well."

Soon, Smellian appeared in the study. Cecil had just come to him and briefly explained everything. Looking at Lu Xia, Smellian's expression was no longer as calm as usual. He was the first to speak: "Xia Xia, if you are angry, you can punish us, but don't hurt yourself."

Lu Xia looked at him and said, "Who said I was angry? I'm fine, don't worry. Do you two want to explain everything now, or should I go ask Grace myself?"

Cecil looked at Smellian, but Smellian didn't respond to him. Instead, he said, "Whatever Xia Xia wants to know, we will tell you."

Cecil nodded vigorously, indicating that he thought so too.
