Pregnant female is super soft and fragrant, the orc hugs the waist and kisses

Chapter 44: Attention.

Smelian was very uneasy at this time. Before coming here, he had prepared himself to be humiliated and whipped by Duke Lu Xia.

After all, the rumors about Duke Lu Xia within the empire are not friendly.

But just now he met the Duke Lu Xia, who was generally recognized as "lustful" and "brutal". Not only did he not verbally humiliate him, he also had no intention of punishing him. He also told him that there was no need for those rules when living here.

This was not at all what he had imagined.

He even wondered if he was dreaming.

Because it's all so 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 stand here with him as punishment forever.

Smellian raised his eyes, met the old butler's calm eyes and nodded.

He felt he needed to do something to divert his attention.

The old housekeeper took him upstairs to his room, opened the door and said, "The decoration of all the guest rooms is the same. If you have any special preferences, please tell me and I will arrange for someone to change it."

"Don't bother, this is already good enough." Even if he lived at home, it would be no more than this.

"Then you should rest first. I will come to call you at dinner time. There is no restricted area here at home. If you want to look around, you can do so."

After the old butler explained everything clearly, he turned and left.

After the old butler left, Smellian stood silently in the room for a long time before slowly walking to the bed and sitting down.

His handsome face, expressionless, 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 gaze: "What do you want to say?"

Hearing the sound, Grace walked towards her. The man had already changed out of his going-out clothes, and now in his home clothes, his aura wasn't as sharp anymore.

His hand naturally wrapped around Lu Xia's waist: "Smellian looks a little uneasy."

Unexpectedly, this is what Grace was going to say. Lu Xia raised an eyebrow and said, "What should I do then? Do you want me to coax him?"

"That's not what I meant. I meant to say that I can do it for you."

Lu Xia looked at Grace, who seemed to be sharing her worries naturally, and always felt that this guy paid too much attention to Smellian.

But she didn't want to bother with Smelian, so it would be nice to have someone do it for her. She nodded and said, "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 research institute for the 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, instead becoming extremely gloomy.

When there was a knock on the door of the room, Smellian was stunned for a moment, then he got up and opened the door, and then looked at Grace who appeared outside the door.

He didn't know the other person, but he knew that he was the son of Duke Leslie. Like him, he was an abandoned child given to Duke Luxia by his family.

He was a little surprised by the other party's sudden appearance here: "Is there something wrong?"

"I came to see if you need any help." Grace's tone was natural, and it seemed that she had come for this purpose. However, Smellian did not think that he was such a helpful person.

"Thank you, but it's not necessary. I don't need any help. Please go back." He didn't even know what the situation was here at the moment, and didn't want to have too much interaction with the people here.

As for Grace's intention, Smellian didn't find it difficult to guess. After all, they were all males, and there was no need to explain the inherent bad qualities of males.

It's just that he had absolutely 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 is ready. No matter what you do,
If you have any dissatisfaction with this place, please don't show it and affect Lu Xia's mood for dining."

After hearing what he said, Smellian felt that this was the real purpose of his coming here, specifically to warn him.

"I will take care of it, Your Excellency, please do not worry."

"That's great. I wish you a happy life here." Grace raised the corners of her lips nonchalantly, then turned and left.

Smellian watched his disappearing figure with a cold face, feeling a little confused.

Is Grace warning him for a female like Duke Lu Xia?
Grace, who had already left, did not think about what Smellian was thinking. He did what he wanted to do.

He did care about Smelian's existence, but he also didn't want this guy to do anything to hurt Lu Xia out of ignorance. He would never allow that.

When I came down from upstairs, dinner was ready and the old housekeeper had gone to call people.

Grace came to the restaurant, pulled out the chair where Lu Xia would sit later, and set the tableware herself.

When he finished these things, Lu Xia came down from upstairs: "Why didn't Smellian come down?"

"I'm here." Smellian, who had just walked into the restaurant, responded and then attracted everyone's attention. This made him feel a little annoyed, but he tried his best to restrain himself and not show it.

Lu Xia saw him and smiled at him: "Then take a seat. Have you seen the room? If you need anything, remember to ask the old housekeeper. Don't hesitate."

This was not the first time Lu Xia had said this, but even so, it made Smelian feel uncomfortable. He wondered if she was being a little artificial, as if she was trying hard to be friendly and approachable, but he didn't know if it was a facade.

Although he had such doubts in his heart, he did not show it on his face. He lowered his eyes and looked submissive: "I understand. Thank you for your concern."

"You're welcome, sit down and have your meal." When Lu Xia said this, she had already sat down first, and then Grace naturally sat down next to her.

It was impossible for Smelian not to be a little surprised when he saw Grace sit down naturally.

You must know that in the empire, no matter where, no one has the right to dine with the mistress except the husband.

Even a concubine can't do it, let alone those who are the husband's servants.

But now, Grace naturally sat down as the husband's servant, as if he had done this a thousand times.

Why is this happening?

Smellian felt that his three views were being baptized since he came here.

His father, Enol, was the concubine of the chief of the Raphaeld clan, and had never eaten at the same table with his mother.

And he actually received such an honor on the first day he arrived here.

Who would believe it if they didn't experience it themselves?

He sat down with a calm and indifferent look on his face, but his emotions were surging. He didn't even know what he had eaten. He just felt like he was still dreaming and hadn't woken up yet.
