The Low-Key Life of a Necromancer

In the small kitchen of the palace that specially prepares food for the prince, the chef who was squeezed out of the position of head chef by Li was staring at everything in front of him with wide eyes and viciousness.

Being able to be the chef for the prince, even though I would always be scolded by him, it would sound good when I told others about it.

No one knew where Li came from, but he actually contacted the prince's personal attendant and squeezed out his job.

“Mix mung bean powder and honey, wrap it with low-gluten flour, and bake it in the oven at low temperature for two hours~”

Li made a lot of mung bean crisps as snacks. Mung beans are a filling food, so it’s perfect to eat them as a midnight snack.

Although eating too much mung beans can easily cause indigestion, Li wanted to eat this one bite and leave the indigestion to worry about tomorrow.

Two hours passed slowly, during which time Li opened the oven from time to time and sprayed some sugar water on the snacks.

One is to make the dough more flavorful, and the other is to keep the dough moist.

After the mung bean pastries were out of the oven, Li took a plate and filled it for Prince Leon. After ordering the servants to send them away, Li distributed the remaining large amount of snacks directly to the staff who were still in the kitchen.

The snorting former chef was dissatisfied at first, but Li leaned close to the other's ear and whispered to him.

"I'll only be here for a while, the position of head chef is still yours."

The chef immediately put on a smile and warmly welcomed Li, his helper.

"Mr. Li, you don't have to be so cautious."

"George, I'm just here to help, not really to be a cook."

Li and George each held a basin filled with baked snacks.

Since the raw materials were provided by the palace, Li didn't feel bad about squandering them.

"…Mr. Li, it was His Royal Highness the Prince who really ordered me to look for you. I didn't expect that this would be the case when I came back."

George rushed Lee back to the palace, but Leon acted as if nothing had happened and treated Lee like a stranger.

George asked Lee if Leon showed any signs of being controlled by someone, but Lee ruled out the possibility that Leon was affected.

"I don't sense any magical aura from Leon. He is indeed normal now."

While eating snacks, Li thought about everything that happened after his contact with Leon.

"I checked the kitchen and there's no possibility of poison or curse, but something was wrong with Leon before, and..."

Recalling the time he entered the study, Leon scanned his vision.

Lee came to an ominous conclusion.

"Leon has now forgotten the fact that he has ever come into contact with me. The way he looks at me is really like looking at a stranger."

George was startled and almost choked on the food in his mouth.

George finally recovered after taking a sip of hot milk.

"Are you saying that His Highness really doesn't recognize you? I thought His Highness was just pretending!"

George previously thought that Leon might not want to have too much to do with Lee and pretended not to know him.

Unexpectedly, Li said that Leon really didn't recognize him.

Li didn't disguise himself, how could he not recognize him?

"The way he looked at me couldn't be faked. You might not have seen it clearly from the sidelines, but that look of doubt couldn't be concealed or faked."

George's originally calm mood was stirred by what Li said.

"So what really happened to His Highness? Did he forget your existence? Then could he have forgotten something else, or someone stole these memories?!"

Stealing memories, this kind of thing is only described in science fiction movies on Earth. If someone said this in real life, they would probably be sent to a sanatorium immediately.

It was a sanatorium with a big iron gate.

Li stuffed another mung bean crisp into his mouth, and the crumbs kept coming out as he spoke.

"I don't know. Let's take a look first and then tell you."

If you don't know the specific situation, acting recklessly will only make the situation worse.

Lee chose to observe quietly, and George agreed with this.

"But what should Your Highness do? What if the damage is irreversible? Will Your Highness..."

"George, I will cast some warning magic on His Highness Leon, and I would like you to help provide some cover."

“…Okay, I understand!”

After much hesitation, George agreed to cover for Li.

So the next day, George brought Lee to Leon again in the name of presenting a new dish.

This time Leon sat at the dining table. He was already a little hungry, so he was looking forward to the delicious food that was to come.

The snacks delivered by the servants last night were delicious, and Leon was very satisfied with Li, the new cook.

"Mr. Li, what is today's main dish?"

"My respected prince, your smile is like the snow on the mountains, your heart is as broad as the sea, your words and deeds are the benchmark for young people today, you are the future of the kingdom~"

The former chef who was standing next to Li and pushed the food cart out with Li had his eyes wide open.

His Royal Highness the Prince asked about the ingredients of the main dish. It would be fine if you didn't answer the question, but how could you flatter him?

Leon was confused at first, then he smiled happily.

The chef immediately understood Li's intention when he saw this.

This damn villain is actually trying to please His Royal Highness the Prince!

Damn, I have to write this down!

Li was completely unaware of the inner thoughts of the chef next to him. He came here today to serve the dishes in order to further inquire about Leon's situation.

"Your Highness, ordinary ingredients are not enough to match your virtue. Only this overlord of the deep sea can set off your majesty!"

Li pulled the tablecloth suddenly, revealing a shocking dish.

Even after being cooked, the Tyrannosaurus Rex still looks majestic and majestic, appearing in front of everyone in an eye-catching shape.

George had been to the banquet with Leon, and he could tell at a glance that the fish cooked by Leon was exactly the same as the one he had eaten at the Grand Duke's house that day.

The huge, glaring mouth and the upturned angle of the fish's tail remain remarkably consistent.

George secretly gave Lee a thumbs up. If Prince Leon recognized Ba Yu, he would definitely recall his encounter with Lee.

Things were developing just as George expected.

"Bad daddy fish?"

After seeing the Tyrant Fish, Leon raised his eyes and made a rhythmic sound.

Leon subconsciously sang the beginning of the song from that day, but after he came to his senses, he looked at Bayu in confusion.

He didn't remember eating a whole fish like this. The royal chefs would also cook this dish, but usually only a section of the fish would be used.

“It’s a big deal to cook a whole fish!”

Leon praised Li, and the fleeting memory just now seemed to have never existed.

Li and George looked at each other and both showed bad expressions.

But now was not the time to expose the problem, so Li put on a fake smile again.

"Thank you for your compliment, Your Highness. This fish is the result of the joint efforts of all the kitchen staff."

"Don't be arrogant or impatient. You are such an excellent chef!"

After rewarding the entire kitchen, Leon happily enjoyed his main course.

Everyone was happy, but there was an indescribable strange atmosphere in the air.
