The Low-Key Life of a Necromancer

Lying on the cold stone bed, looking at the scene outside the window that was distorted by the fluctuations of magic, Lian only felt sadness and regret.

If the price of the family's rise is that everyone becomes unhappy, then she would rather everything go back to the way it was.

Even if my father is always frowning, even if the housekeeper is always smiling...

The housekeeper's smile was enough.

"Damn it! I want to get out!"

Lian could endure being imprisoned in the bedroom and forced to marry the prince.

But she couldn't stand the betrayal of her family, her father's silence, and she didn't know what had happened to her stupid brother.

Whenever Lian was protecting Katon, Katon would be cursed by those people. Now that Lian is not with Katon, her brother will definitely be cursed again.

Lian once promised her mother that she would take good care of her younger brother. This is her responsibility as an older sister!

Lian raised her fist and hit the window hard.

There was a loud bang, and the window was intact, but Lian's finger was broken.

Lian endured the severe pain, put her fingers back in place, clenched her fist, and prepared to continue hitting.

The room where Lian is imprisoned has been equipped with a magical device. As long as Lian continues to attack the surroundings, the magic power consumption of the device will be accelerated.

This is actually useless, because the guards outside can just replace the magic stone of the device and Lian's efforts will be in vain.

But Lian couldn't allow herself to do nothing.

From childhood to adulthood, no one has ever helped Lian, and Lian has long been accustomed to facing difficulties on her own.

"Sister, sister, how are you? I heard such a loud noise!"

After Lian broke her bones for the third time, she finally had no strength to move. She collapsed in the corner of the room like a discarded rag doll.

"Sister, open the door!"

Lian's ears moved and she heard her brother's voice.

Lian thought she was hallucinating, but she heard rustling noises coming from the other side of the door.

After a while, a pool of sticky blood flowed out from the gap under the door, the opening used to deliver meals.

Under Lian's stunned gaze, the blood gradually stood up like plasticine, forming the shape of a person.

“…Li, Lilith!”

Lian never dreamed that she would meet Lilith under such circumstances.

Lilith was wearing a maid uniform, looking low-key and reserved, but the fact that she appeared in front of Lian was already too high-profile.

"Lilith! Sister Li! What should I do if you go in like this!"

Lilith transformed and entered the room, but Katon outside the door was extremely anxious.

Cotton is not a vampire and does not know any magic of transformation. He kept knocking on the door and seemed extremely anxious.

"Stop knocking, it's annoying!"

Lilith and Lian roared together, and poor Carton immediately calmed down.

Now, in the cold, dark room, only Lian and Lilith were left staring at each other.

Lilith looked around and found that there was nothing else in the room except the stone bed.

"Ms. Lian, isn't this your home? How did you end up in such a miserable state?"

Lilith's question was like rubbing salt into Lian's wounds, and Lian's expression suddenly twisted.

“…I want to know what’s going on, too.”

When an acquaintance came, Lian, who was squatting in the corner, had no time to feel sad. She straightened her pajamas and fastened the crooked shoulder strap.

"Hey~ Lilith, it's a rare occasion for you to visit, please sit down."

There was nothing in the room, so Lian couldn't entertain Lilith even if she wanted to.

Lian invited Lilith to sit on the stone bed. Lilith did not refuse and sat side by side with Lian.

"What brings you here?"

Lian was very curious about why Lilith came here.

"It was Carton who came to my house and asked me to come and help you."

"Stuck and stopped?"

Lian looked at the door and knew that Katon was outside.

This younger brother who always made his sister worry now also cares about her.

Lian was very pleased, and felt a sense of accomplishment that she had raised her son and could give back to her mother.

"Sister, don't listen to her. I went to look for Brother Li, but Lilith was afraid that you and Brother Li would rekindle your old relationship, so she sent her to help!"

Through the crack of the door, Cotton's mouth chattered, blurting out all the reasons why Lilith came.

The room, which had originally had a good atmosphere, suddenly became awkward.

"Lian, your brother needs to be beaten more."

"Well, wait till I get out, I'll skin him first!"

Carton, who was outside the door, felt the murderous intent coming from his sister, so he quickly jumped up and ran away.

After Carton left, Lian and Lilith looked at each other, not knowing what to talk about for a moment.

At this moment, the door of the room suddenly opened, and the housekeeper Amber walked in angrily with a team of guards.

Seeing Lilith appear in the room and sitting there side by side with Lian, Amber's expression suddenly became ferocious.

"Miss, who is this person? Are you going to introduce him?"

Lilith noticed that the housekeeper was in a bad mood and looked at Lian in confusion.

Lian didn't know how to explain it. She couldn't say that the housekeeper had mental problems.

If Lilith knew that the family's housekeeper was a lunatic, Lian could guarantee that within two days, the entire Caiyun Catering would spread rumors about the Grand Duke's family.

"This is my friend, Amber. I'm already locked up here, so it should be okay to have a friend to keep me company while I pass the time."

"I'm sorry, Miss, your friend's origins are unknown. Let us examine him. Perhaps he is a spy trying to obtain information!"

Lilith couldn't help but laugh when she was accused of being a spy by Lian's housekeeper.

From the moment she learned that Lian was imprisoned, Lilith felt that something was wrong. Now looking at the contradiction before her, Lilith made a bold guess.

"Lian, how long have you not seen your father?"

The topic suddenly turned to her father, and Lian was a little confused for a moment.

But Amber suddenly became manic, pulled out the magic pistol from his waist, and fired four shots at Lilith.

The blood splattered from Lilith's body dyed the stone bed red and splashed all over Lian.

The original white nightgown instantly turned into a red floral pattern.

"Amber!"

Lilith fell in a pool of blood, which instantly filled Lian's anger bar.

When she had conflicts with Amber before, Lian always took into account the family's reputation and her friendship with Amber.

But when Amber shot Lilith, Lian realized that the problem was more serious than she had imagined.

"Amber! Where's my daddy!"

After Lilith's reminder, Lian reacted suddenly.

I was controlled by Amber in the bedroom, and what about my father? I wonder if he was also controlled by someone.

Or even worse, Lian's father has been murdered!

In this case, Lian’s imprisonment was most likely initiated by Amber.

Amber is using Lian's father's name to deceive Lian, the eldest daughter!

The furious Lian pounced on Amber like a cheetah. She had no weapons, but she still had her hands.

Lian was very confident in his martial arts skills and suddenly attacked, leaving Amber completely unable to react.

Lian's heavy punch hit Amber's heart, making it difficult for Amber to breathe.

Lian grabbed Amber's magic gun and shot the guard next to Amber.

Lian's attack was sudden enough, but unfortunately the royal guards were too well equipped and the magic guns had little effect on them.

Lian only had time to kick Amber twice before he was controlled by several guards.

Amber stood up with the help of the wall and took a long breath before she spoke.

"Miss, you are not behaving well again!"
