Chapter 255 Inheritance.
While Lu Xiao was busy filling his stomach with Ares, many people in the banquet hall were already inquiring about their identities.
"Who are those two people? How come I've never seen them before?"
"No way, you don't even know about them. Don't worry, Mr. Ares, you don't know. Have you never seen Mr. Lu Xiao?"
"Is she Mr. Lu Xiao?"
"Oh my God, she's younger and more beautiful than I thought!"
"I can go over and say hello to her. I want to get to know her. It's best if our female cubs also get to know her."
"I think it's better not to go there now. Duke Cecilia will introduce her after the banquet starts. Is it better for us to go there then?"
"At that time, are you sure we still have a chance?"
……
As soon as Lu Xiao started eating, many people came to say hello.
Seeing this, Ares naturally stood in front of Lu Xiao and dealt with these people. Lu Xiao knew that Ares wanted her to eat well.
But she also feels sorry for Ares.
Holding the man's arm, he smiled and said to these people: "I'm sorry, my wife hasn't eaten either. Can we eat something first?"
The person who came to strike up a conversation heard this and immediately nodded: "Okay, we won't disturb you two for now."
Ares lowered his eyes and looked at Lu Xiao with a smile in his eyes.
Maybe for others, such a banquet is used to establish relationships, but for Lu Xiao and Ares, this is actually just an ordinary banquet.
No different.
Soon, as time passed and the dinner time was approaching, when Cecilia came downstairs in a decent dress, Lu Xiao smiled and greeted her, took Cecilia's arm and walked down the stairs with her.
All the guests clapped and smiled.
Walking down the stairs, Cecilia led Lu Xiao to everyone: "I'm very happy to see you all here tonight. I haven't seen you for a long time. I'm very happy to see that everyone is so well. Today Tonight I will introduce my granddaughter Lu Xiao to you. In the future, she will be the new generation heir of my Duke of Galliudro. I hope you will treat her with the same respect as you do me."
Lu Xiao's heart tightened and he subconsciously looked at Cecilia who said this with a smile.
This is completely different from what she said before. Before, Cecilia only said that she was going to be introduced to everyone, but she did not say that she was going to be declared the heir to the Duke of Galiodero.
Cecilia smiled and patted the back of Lu Xiao's hand gently to comfort her.
Lu Xiao knew that this might be a surprise given to her by the old lady, and it was also the most precious gift.
"Thank you, Grandma."
Cecilia's words were no less than throwing a pebble into the calm water, instantly making the guests look at Lu Xiao solemnly.
They knew that Duke Gariodero's palace, which had not held a banquet for a long time, suddenly started to hold banquets. There was definitely something big to announce.
Sure enough, they were not disappointed. Some people are surprised, while others feel normal.
Within the empire, it is almost impossible to find another little female as outstanding as Lu Xiao.
It is completely normal for Cecilia to choose Lu Xiao as her heir.
The surprised people thought that Lu Xiao was too young. Can such a young female take on the title of Duke of Gariodero?
You must know that they also have female cubs in their own family, and they are about the same age as Lu Xiao. They are really willful and difficult to control.
They were not at ease if they were asked to give their title to such a female.
But whether these people accept it or not, this is Duke Garaudero's family matter.
Duke Leslie, Athena took the lead in applauding: "Your Excellency Cecilia still has such a good taste, our Excellency Lu Xiao is also worthy of it, it is really enviable, why don't I have a female cub!"
< br>
With her taking the lead, others also echoed: "Yes, we have all heard about your Excellency Lu Xiao's excellence. We are really envious. In comparison, that bastard of mine is simply unbelievable. I have to come with you today. I I’m too embarrassed to take her with me!”
"Who says it's not the case? I used to think that all the females in the empire are the same. It's normal for the one in my family to be more willful. Since I met Mr. Lu Xiao, I finally understand that there are still good females, but we don't share them. That’s all, Duke Cecilia is lucky!”
"Hey, tell me how Count Lu Gewei would feel now if he knew that the little female she gave birth to was about to inherit the title of Duke Garaudero."
"If I were her, my intestines would really turn green!"
……
Listening to these people's discussion, Cecilia smiled and took Lu Xiao's hand, and personally led her to greet some people.
Lu Xiao carefully took note of all the people who could be introduced by Cecilia alone. She knew very well that Cecilia would not introduce useless people to her.
Ares stood aside with a wine glass in hand, his eyes following Lu Xiao. Even though everyone at the banquet was dressed up and dazzling, in his eyes, these people were eclipsed by Lu Xiao.
The wine glass in his hand was touched, and Ares raised his eyes to look at Fred, who was walking over.
"I haven't had time to congratulate you on becoming a lieutenant general."
Ares took a sip of wine and said, "Thank you."
Fred turned and looked at the little female in the center of the banquet: "I have applied to be stationed in the Edge Star and will leave next week."
Suddenly hearing the news, Ares looked at Fred subconsciously: "Why is it so sudden?"
"Our First Army is an overseas garrison. General Crane is old and is no longer suitable. I was also preparing to take over the First Army. When I come back again, I may be promoted to general." Having said this, Fred smiled and said, "I also want to change the environment."
As for why he wanted to change the environment, Fred didn't say, but Ares understood that he wanted to leave the place where Lu Xiao was and break off the relationship.
Regarding this point, Ares felt that as the beneficiary, he could not say anything. He could only say: "Then I wish you all the best in advance."
Fred patted him on the shoulder: "Admiral Kulapeng is not young anymore. It is estimated that you will be promoted within the next two years. Maybe we will have a chance to meet."
Ares nodded.
Fred laughed: "I really envy you Ares, or many people envy you. Do you know why I chose to give up? When I was in the Canghe tribe, I saw you and Mr. Lu Xiao with my own eyes. From that moment on, I knew that I had no chance. There was no room for others between you and Lu Xiao. To forcefully destroy you would make me feel guilty."
