The Low-Key Life of a Necromancer

Lilith pried open Amber's safe and took out the things inside, but found nothing valuable.

Inside the safe were only some paper documents and a stack of photos.

Lilith flipped through it twice and immediately handed the photo to Lian after discovering the problem.

"these are…"

Lian thought Lilith had found Amber's evidence of guilt, but after opening the photos, she discovered that the people in the photos were all her deceased mother.

Her mother died very early, when Lian was still a little girl.

Lian only has two photos of her mother, one is a photo of her parents' wedding, and the other is a family photo of her mother holding her and her younger brother.

Lian has long forgotten her mother's image. Even though she knows that her mother once loved her very much, they do not have many common memories. Her mother does not occupy a large part in Lian's memory.

The woman in the photo, wearing a racing suit, leans on the hood of a classic sports car from twenty years ago.

The woman had long, wavy blond hair and looked more dazzling than the fashion models in popular magazines.

“Is this my mother?”

In the next photo, the woman is wearing knight armor, holding a racing lance, and looking cool at the camera.

In the next photo, Lian's mother is wearing a pilot's tights and posing with a small plane.

Each photo recorded the life of the legendary woman, all of which Lian had never known.

"I thought my mother was the kind of person who would give up everything for the honor of the family..."

Through these photos, Lian discovered the free and confident side of her mother. In this kingdom, there is probably no other woman who is more energetic than her.

The last few photos were taken after Lian’s mother married into the Grand Duke’s family.

Lian's mother changed into an aristocratic long dress and combed her hair into a bun. Her every move was elegant and gentle, and she had restrained all her former sharpness.

The mother at this time overlaps with Lian's few memories of her mother.

Lian wanted to put the photo down and wipe the tears from her eyes, but she found words on the back of the photo.

"The girl in my dream..."

There were words on the back of all the photos, all of which were Amber's words of love for her mother.

From the daughter's perspective, it is completely abnormal for Amber, a butler, to love the lady.

However, combining the scenes in these photos, Lian discovered that Amber's interactions with her mother might have been earlier than her marriage into the Grand Duke's family.

The poor boy fell in love with the noble lady, but in the end he had to reluctantly give up and silently protect his beloved as a butler...

"What kind of bloody story is this?"

If Amber's relationship with her mother were put on the big screen, it would probably be laughed at by the audience.

This kind of tragic cross-class love became outdated decades ago.

But when the protagonist in the story is really yourself, can you still jump out of the plot and let go of everything?

Amber gave the answer.

No!

After waiting silently for Lian to browse through all the photos, Lilith handed Lian a folder.

Lian opened it with doubt, and her pupils suddenly shrank.

"Amber, he actually..."

The file Lian opened was a collection of various newspaper clippings and investigation records. These clippings had one thing in common: they were all about the case of Lian's mother's death.

From traffic accident investigation reports to local gossip, anything that had something to do with Lian's mother was carefully collected by Amber.

Lian also noticed that among these documents, there were many private detective investigation reports, which recorded the activities of many people related to Lian's mother.

Finally, there were some transfer receipts in the folder, all of which were paid to private detectives. Amber had spent almost all of her savings on these things.

Lian's hands holding the documents began to tremble. This information told Lian a tragic fact.

Lian may have killed a good man by mistake...

"…Lilith, what do you think of this?"

Lian was in a state of confusion and began to doubt herself.

Lian found that something was wrong with her and she now needed to seek other people's opinions.

Lilith noticed the change in Lian's mentality, but scoffed at her fluctuations.

"You are the daughter of the Grand Duke. You can't regret what you have done. Why are you hesitating about it?"

Lian's veins jumped when Lilith scolded him.

I always feel that Lilith's mouth has become more smelly after not seeing her for a while.

Lian was about to curse back when she heard Lilith continue.

"No matter why this butler is obsessed with your mother, and no matter how much he has sacrificed behind the scenes, he has given everything for something that will never have any results. His brain must have been out of order a long time ago."

What happened to Lian and Lilith today has proved that Amber's thinking is different from that of ordinary people.

Maybe he has gone crazy a long time ago.

"Also, Lian, you shouldn't focus on the dead person now. Aren't you wondering how the butler colluded with those people and why he was able to get that potion?"

Lilith's awakening brought Lian back to her senses instantly.

Yes, Lian has more important things to do right now.

My father is not at home, and such a big thing has happened at home. Lian must stabilize the situation. If possible, Lian must find out everything and then fight back fiercely!

"Lilith, what do you mean..."

"Your butler must have paid some price to get that strange potion."

After Lilith said this, Lian's face immediately turned as dark as the bottom of a pot.

Lilith was right. There must be a price for Amber to be able to hang out with those mysterious people.

But Amber's savings were all spent on useless investigations, and she could only exchange them for Holy Light Potion...

"He wouldn't trade the family's interests for it!"

Lian clenched her fists, and she once again regretted killing Amber directly.

However, this time Lian's regret has nothing to do with whether he killed innocent people. Lian just wants to interrogate Amber and ask him what he has paid for.

After Lian's emotions stabilized a little, Lilith once again uncovered the wound in Lian's heart.

"Lian, where is your sword? It's a family heirloom. You can't just throw it away."

Lian subconsciously touched her earlobe, but found nothing.

The black rose that had been given to Lian to wear was returned to the family two months ago.

"The Black Rose was in my father's hands. After the rise of our family, it was no longer appropriate for me to have this sword..."

Lilith shrugged, not caring at all about the noble family's difficulties.

However, Lian discovered a more urgent situation from Lilith's reminder.

"Where's my dad? Why isn't he at home?"

Lian hurried out and headed once again for the hall where she had summoned her attendants before.

The servants had long since dispersed, leaving only two maids who were cleaning the furniture, whispering in each other's ears.

"You, do you know where my father went?"

"Miss! Are you asking about the master? After the master went to the magic academy, he went to the palace to participate in the meeting."

"Attending a meeting! What meeting? How long have you been there?"

The maids looked confused, wondering why the young lady was so nervous.

Going to the palace to attend a meeting is normal official business.

"The master has been gone for a month. The butler said that the content of the meeting was very important and he will not be back in the short term."

Lian's eyes went dark and she almost fell down on the spot.

My father disappeared so early. Could he have been in danger?

"Amber's death was so cheap!"
