The sudden news cast a somber mood over the meal.
But Lu Xia knew that Graces was a soldier.
Going to the battlefield to carry out missions was his duty as a soldier—a duty he could not refuse.
The only thing she could do was support him in silence.
Graces sensed his Female Master's spirits were low and knew she was worried about him going to the front lines. He felt a pang of guilt.
Back in their room, Graces embraced Lu Xia from behind. "I'll be back as soon as I can. I won't make you wait too long."
Lu Xia glanced sideways at the man, a faint worry in her eyes.
She said, "Graces, going to the battlefield is your duty as a soldier. I can't ask you to stay, but I need you to promise me you'll keep yourself safe. Remember that Little Pu Tao and I will be here at home, waiting for you."
"I know, Xiaxia," Graces replied. 'But this time, I'm afraid I'll have to break my promise.'
