The Low-Key Life of a Necromancer

Relying on a tacit cooperation, Lian and Lilith killed the butler who kept jumping around and stealing the show.

The two of them fell to the ground. They were so exhausted physically and mentally that they could hardly move.

"You can transform into a sword, why didn't you do it earlier? You made me suffer so much in vain."

"If you had been more careful, you wouldn't have been manipulated by a butler."

"So it's still my fault. I didn't know he would betray me!"

"Ha~ Compared to all this, you should think about how to pay the bill first. I have put in so much effort, you have to compensate me!"

"Oh, funny! You're not asking for too much, are you? It's my brother who invited you here, if you need money, go ask him!"

Speak of younger brother and he will be here.

During the garbage time after the battle, Lian and Lilith trash-talked each other to ease their embarrassment.

At this moment, Katon, wearing silver armor and holding a soldier's sword, rushed in from outside the room.

"You bad guys, don't even think about hurting my sister..."

Carton was full of energy, and he was ready to fight to the death to rescue his sister.

However, the only response he got was silence.

Through the narrow gap in his helmet, Katon looked around at everything in the room.

There was the housekeeper Amber, who was scattered here and there, a few soldiers who didn't know the consequences, and the sister and Lilith who were sitting together staring at each other.

Carton's mind raced, and then he put the sword back into the scabbard.

"Hey, why did I go to the wrong room? I was going back to my room to sleep."

As Carton took a step forward, he heard his sister's soul-calling voice exploding behind him.

"Carton, get over here!"

Spicy meatballs are a must for a meal!

Lian and Lilith looked at Carton viciously. Being stared at by two powerful older sisters, Carton felt a chill on his neck.

Fortunately, neither of them was willing to move, so they didn't torture Katon.

Carton sat down carefully, fearing that any big movement would upset the sensitive nerves of his two sisters.

"Carton, what's going on outside?"

"Ah? Oh, that's good. Those soldiers have all left, and only these few are left in the room."

"Then why are you still sitting here? Why don't you go and take care of the affairs of the manor!"

After being scolded by his sister, Carton ran out to do things helplessly, while Lian and Lilith discussed the content of the incident.

"Lilith, thank you so much for coming."

"Well, I heard from Brother Li that the fish here is delicious. Now that you are free, I want to eat fish."

It’s just a fish, Lian naturally wouldn’t refuse Lilith’s request.

"By the way, why didn't Li come? Isn't he usually the one who handles things like this?"

"Why, are you disappointed that Brother Li didn't come?"

“…No, just forget what I said.”

After resting enough, Lian dressed neatly and returned to the main hall to face the servants of the manor.

Except for Amber who had died, all the laborers in the entire estate were called together.

Lian stood on the steps, with Katon and Lilith standing beside her.

The low pressure displayed by the three people made the servants dare not even breathe.

"Can anyone please stand up and tell me what's going on recently?"

Lian had been in the academy. After returning home, she was first forced to attend a banquet and then put in solitary confinement.

Lian was not clear about the situation at home, but the servants who worked in the manor on a daily basis must be aware of these changes.

Where did those royal guards come from, why did Amber get involved with them, and where was Lian's father.

Lian urgently needs to know the answers to this series of questions.

“…It’s Amber. Housekeeper Amber told us not to meddle in other people’s business. These things were all done by Amber!”

Amber died, and a courageous servant stood up and immediately put the blame on Amber.

"The soldiers brought by Amber also forbade us to approach the mansion. Amber did not allow us to walk around or communicate, and he also withheld our salary for the past two months!"

Seeing that Lian did not stop him, the servant who was speaking became more and more bold.

When he got excited, he gritted his teeth, as if Amber was such a hateful person.

But whether the actual situation is really as he described, Lian has to put a big question mark.

Amber may have done some things behind the family's back, but Amber has always done a good job in the daily maintenance of the manor.

These people usually obey Amber's orders. Lian dares to guarantee that there must be Amber's people among them, and they may even have helped Amber do some shameful things.

But when Amber died, they immediately changed sides and acted loyally, as if they were doing everything for the good of their master and that all the bad things were done by Amber.

Is Amber really a bad guy to these servants?

I'm afraid not.

From what Lian knew, Amber often helped servants whose families were in trouble, and would transfer maids who made mistakes to easier positions.

Amber also often recommends people who do a good job, and gives them bonuses.

Amber's death today was caused by a conflict with Lian, and these people just took advantage of the situation and added insult to injury!

Lilith rolled her eyes at Lian, and Lian felt uncomfortable all over.

He wanted to punish these slippery servants, but Lian had not yet completely taken control of the manor, so he could only let them go for the time being.

"Everyone listen up! Before new instructions are issued, you all should just do your own work and stop making irresponsible comments!"

After arranging Carton to watch over these people, Lian brought Lilith to the housekeeper's room in the manor.

One of the rooms here is Amber's residence. If there is any place to find evidence of Amber's collusion with outsiders, this is the most obvious place.

"Locked..."

Amber's door had a sturdy anti-theft lock, and Lian was in no mood to look for keys or anything like that.

After taking a big step back, Lian kicked the door open.

The magic lamp lit up, and Amber's room was clearly visible.

What came into view was a large desk with Amber's half-finished financial report on it.

Judging from the use of paper, pens and ink, Amber is indeed a conscientious housekeeper.

After Lilith joined Fortune Catering, she developed a special sense of money.

Ignoring the other items in the room, Lilith walked towards the most conspicuous safe on the side of the desk with cat steps.

"Oh wow~ It's a classic style, sealed together with the foundation with cement."

Such a safe is basically impossible to be stolen in its entirety, and the password must be cracked in order to open it.

However, the mechanical lock is no match for Lilith, a vampire.

Lilith bit her fingertip with her teeth and controlled a drop of blood to flow into the gap of the safe.

After a few seconds, the safe opened easily with a click.

Lilith hummed the little tune that Li taught her and looked through Amber's inheritance.

This safe contains the gold coins that Amber dropped. Lilith helped Lian suffer a great loss, so it is reasonable for her to get some compensation from Amber.

However, after searching for a while, Lilith cursed angrily with a frown on her face.

"He's still the chief steward. He's worked for the Duke for so many years, but he doesn't have any savings at all. It's like eating sour radish for nothing!"
