Lu Xia was already home when Smelian returned. She smiled when she saw him and asked, "Smelian, were you busy today?"
Smelian nodded. "It was a bit busy. And you?"
"I was fine. My research is actually going quite smoothly. Go get changed. Dinner will be ready soon."
"Okay, give me a moment."
After Smelian left, Cecil watched his retreating back, a strange glint in his eyes.
Lu Xia turned back just in time to see it and asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?"
Cecil smiled. "It's nothing."
During the meal, Lu Xia's terminal vibrated. It was an attendant of Her Majesty Queen, informing Lu Xia to go to the Imperial Palace the next day for an audience with Her Majesty Queen. Her request had been approved.
After ending the call, Lu Xia instructed the butler to prepare a suitable outfit for her.
After dinner, Lu Xia said goodnight to them and went straight back to her room.
After Lu Xia left, Cecil put down his utensils and looked at Smelian. "You went to Nanxi today?"
