After dealing with Lady Dain and Victoria, Her Majesty the Queen sent them away, asking only Lu Xia and Lady Daina to remain.
She had an attendant prepare lunch and invited the two to dine with her.
At the dining table, the Queen brought up Graces.
Lu Xia was somewhat surprised. She hadn't expected the Queen to bring up Graces's disappearance on her own initiative.
Upon hearing this, Lu Xia put on a somber expression. The Queen looked apologetic. "I am very sorry about Graces's disappearance. I have already ordered Admiral Snop to give his full cooperation in the search. I hope we can find him, no matter the outcome. I am also prepared to grant Graces the title of Admiral."
Lu Xia forced a composed smile and thanked the Queen for the honor. 'What good is a title granted after death when he couldn't have it in life? It's just a show for the living.'
