After seeing Asina off, Lu Xiao returned to the main hall. Cecilia looked at her and said, "Actually, Lady Asina's proposal isn't a bad thing for you. Fred comes from a good family and is quite capable himself. As your main husband, he would be a great asset to you."
Lu Xiao naturally understood the logic. It was like ancient emperors arranging marriages with the children of their ministers to consolidate their power.
'But I'm just an ordinary person, and I don't have a throne to inherit. I just want to live a simple life. Why make things so complicated?'
"I understand what you mean, Grandmother, but I'd rather live a simple life. Being with Ares is just right for me."
Cecilia was only making a suggestion. Admiral Kelan had already told her about Lu Xiao's romantic life, so knowing this, she didn't press the issue.
"I know, I know. Your Ares is the best, isn't he?"
Lu Xiao smiled and nodded. "Yes!"
