The Low-Key Life of a Necromancer

At Carton's request, Lilith teleported to the Grand Duke's estate and helped Lian solve the family's troubles.

At the same time, Li and George flew to the royal capital on griffins.

The griffin is the symbol of the royal family. When it flies in the sky, other aircraft will actively give way.

Sitting on the back of the griffin, Li let the griffin disperse the soldiers who came to inspect, and then looked down at the royal capital below.

The capital city at night presents two different scenes than during the day.

Li still remembers the first time he stood on the mountain and looked at the royal capital. The layout of the royal capital was centered on the royal palace and the holy mountain, forming a Pisces-shaped city with a completely different style.

When night falls, in addition to the street lights, the patterns formed by the light spots change again.

There are only two circles where the light is the brightest, and the brightness decreases as you go outwards.

"As expected, the rich are enjoying their lives, while the poor are struggling to survive."

People in rich areas live a life of debauchery and extravagance, while places where ordinary people live are mostly quiet.

After a day's work, no one will have the energy to go out and play. There is not even enough time to rest, so who would want to go clubbing?

The griffin raised its head and let out an arrogant cry, then circled and descended, finally landing on the helipad of the royal palace.

The palace guards immediately surrounded him. Although the griffin was a symbol of royalty, Li, who was sitting on the griffin's back, did not look like a member of the royal family.

Seeing that the soldiers were eyeing its benefactor covetously, the griffin spread its wings angrily and protected its calf like an eagle.

"Be good, it's okay."

Lee and George worked together to calm the angry griffin down.

The soldier took the two men aside and only then took the time to ask about Li's background.

"Ahem~ This Chef Li is the chef specially hired by Prince Leon. He will be responsible for the prince's meals for the next period of time."

“We have received no such reports.”

"What kind of report is needed for this? Does the prince need to inform you when he changes the cook? You are meddling too much!"

At first, George tried to explain in a nice way, but when he saw that the soldiers were ruthless, he immediately changed his attitude.

When the soldiers saw George, the prince's personal attendant, they helped Li verify his identity and let him go after hesitating for a moment.

"Don't take it to heart, Lord Li. These soldiers are bullies!"

"George, you don't have to blame them. They are all workers. It's not a bad thing if they are serious and responsible."

George looked at Li with surprise, which then turned into admiration.

"As expected of Lord Li, you can see things so clearly. No wonder His Highness would recognize you as a friend!"

"Hey~ Mr. George is also very good. I'll trouble you to take care of him in this palace."

The two men complimented each other and walked slowly to the prince's residence, which was an independent palace with three floors.

“It combines residence and office space in one, and although it’s small, it has everything.”

George was introducing the structure of the prince's residence to Li, but was grabbed by Li's arm.

Lee pointed at the door and the surrounding soldiers and expressed his doubts to George.

“Are there usually so many people patrolling?”

George looked around carefully and shook his head at Li.

"No, there are many new faces. I wonder if these people are going to harm His Highness!"

George subconsciously thought in a bad way, but Li was not as pessimistic as he was.

"Perhaps it's just to know His Highness's recent situation and dispatch more soldiers to guard him~"

"…Mr. Li, you are very good at magic. If His Highness Leon is really affected by something, please help him!"

"Don't worry, that's what I'm here for."

With Li's promise, George felt much more at ease. He acted like a prince's attendant and led Li into the building in a swagger.

With George leading the way, although the surrounding soldiers looked at Lee with puzzled eyes, no one jumped out to stop him.

Lee was very satisfied with George's position here, but he was more confused about Leon's situation.

"George, who has the ability to harm the prince in his residence?"

Being able to bypass the people around the prince and attack the prince directly requires extraordinary strength.

Li first ruled out external assassins. Anyone who could do such a thing must be someone who is familiar with the internal situation of the palace.

Such people are usually worthy of the royal family's trust, so the identity of the prisoner can be narrowed to a very small range.

"To be honest with you, Lord Li, I am also very surprised by this."

George and Li had the same doubts.

Prince Leon had been unpopular for a long time, and there were countless people who wanted to harm him.

But the palace is the safest place. If something happens to the prince, half of the people in the palace will be implicated, and no one dares to harm the prince in the palace.

But Leon's condition is indeed not right now. I'm afraid I can only make a further judgment on the truth of the matter after meeting Leon.

Led by George, the two came to the outside of Leon's room.

There was a soldier guarding each side of the door. After seeing them, George asked about Leon's situation.

"During the time I was away, has Your Highness been well?"

"Nothing happened."

After George and Li looked at each other, George continued to ask.

"Has His Highness been in a coma? Has he eaten? Has he lost his temper?"

The soldier glanced at George and thought his question was very strange.

"His Royal Highness has been reading a book and has not behaved in any strange way."

The two soldiers were a little impatient with the questions and didn't have a good attitude towards George.

When George heard Leon's answer that he was reading, his eyes widened.

"His Royal Highness is reading a book. Isn't this the strangest thing to do?"

When did Leon read the book!

Ever since he was able to refute the court teacher at the age of seven, Leon no longer took the initiative to read, unless it was magazines with colorful covers.

George was afraid that something might happen to Leon, so he opened the door and walked in. Lee followed George and saw Leon sitting behind the desk, really reading seriously.

Leon's face was blocked by the book, so his expression could not be seen.

Li and George could only see Leon turning pages from time to time. Leon was reading very attentively.

"His Royal Highness Prince?"

George broke the silence with a low voice, and Leon paused in turning the pages.

The book was closed and laid flat on the table by Leon.

Leon was reading a book about the transition of power, with three large gold-plated characters on the cover.

Golden Note.

"You two, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Leon folded his hands and faced the two people at the door with a serious face.

Li and George clearly felt Leon's displeasure after his reading was interrupted.

"Your Highness, are you okay?"

"What can I do for you? Your concern has exceeded the duty of a servant!"

George was struck by lightning when faced with Leon's accusations.

Although Leon had a bad attitude towards others, he rarely scolded George.

No matter how dumb the prince was, he understood one thing: if he had a falling out with his personal attendant, he would be the only one who would suffer.

Once upon a time, a servant replaced the master's wine with horse urine in order to retaliate against his master's harsh criticism.

Leon was also afraid that something similar would happen, so he always treated George very well.

"…Your Highness, I'm glad you're alright. I brought a new chef. Would you like to try some new dishes?"

"A new cook? Ask him to prepare me a midnight snack."
