The Low-Key Life of a Necromancer

In the palace, the nobles who were invited to attend the prince's engagement ceremony, after satisfying their respective social needs, got on the carriages printed with their respective family emblems and left this place of trouble in a chic manner.

Prince Leon, half owner of the palace, stood at the window and watched these people leave.

As Leon stood by the window, he twisted his ankle from time to time. This was a little habit he developed after he stood up again.

"Your Highness, Miss Lian is still waiting."

"Well, ask her to come to my study."

Leon turned around and sat in the seat where he usually spent his time.

On the left was a pile of neatly stacked newspapers and magazines, and on the right was a plate of midnight snacks provided by the kitchenette.

After sitting in this position, Leon felt irritated for no reason, which made him feel very uncomfortable.

Sitting here and resting is Leon's favorite thing to do, so why does he feel irritated?

Leon, who lost key memories, always felt that something was wrong, but after asking people around him, especially George, Leon came to the conclusion that everything was normal.

After having several court wizards and doctors examine him, Leon was sure that there was nothing wrong with his body, which was really strange.

dong dong dong~

"Please come in."

Lian pushed open the door of the study, walked in and looked at Leon.

Two people who were originally unrelated suddenly became a nominally engaged couple. Fate is really unpredictable.

Lian pulled out the chair opposite Leon and sat in front of him like a subordinate waiting for an interview.

"…Lian, you don't have to be so reserved. This is my study."

"I feel uncomfortable entering your study, Leon. You'd better end this damn engagement quickly. I can't wait any longer, and I don't want to face Cousin Feng's vicious gaze again."

Lian made no secret of her annoyance towards Leon.

When Lian was very young, she came into contact with Leon. Leon was the kind of little boy who liked to get into trouble. He had torn up Lian's storybooks, taken apart Lian's dolls, and even stepped on Lian's little leather shoes and made them dirty.

"…Lian, I'm indeed not liked by you, but is it necessary for you to act so disgusted? We are at least still friends."

"I'd rather not have you as a friend."

Lian, who was born in the Grand Duke's family, once had the opportunity to enter into a marriage contract with Leon, but the entire kingdom was suppressing Lian's family at that time, and the Feng family immediately replaced the royal marriage contract of the Freyr family.

Who would have thought that after so many twists and turns, Lian and Leon were brought together again by a marriage contract.

Leon carefully studied Lian's expression, and after a while, he smiled as if he was in control of everything.

"Anyone with a discerning eye knows that our engagement is not binding. It won't be long before the noble council steps up to deny it."

The current marriage contract was pushed behind by the Council of Nobles in order to establish a relationship between the Freyr family and the royal family.

Doing so would help restore the power of House Freyr and give the public the illusion that the kingdom is united.

But the noble council, which had worked hard to suppress the Freyr family, was unwilling to let Lian really marry Prince Leon.

An engagement is a useful tool, but it will never turn into a real marriage.

"I know that the current situation is the result of struggle and compromise among all parties, but you'd better find a way to push it forward. I don't want the engagement to affect my next move."

Ever since the last fight with her father in the old town, Lian has been tracking down her father's whereabouts.

But the matter of the engagement hindered Lian's steps and made her very annoyed.

"Okay, I will give you a satisfactory result as soon as possible. By the way, do you really hate this engagement, or are you afraid that someone will misunderstand it~"

Leon's teasing made Lian flustered. Lian didn't expect Leon to suddenly reveal her past.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Don't involve irrelevant people!"

"Wow~ I'm too talkative."

Lian had already blown herself up. After realizing her embarrassment, Lian slammed the door and walked out.

For the first time, Leon felt that Lian was so cute. Compared to when she threw him into a mud pit when they were young, letting him use her as a cushion to reach the fruits on the tree, and using her palace homework book to fold paper airplanes...

"I didn't expect that wild monkey back then also has someone he likes. What do you think she likes about you, Mr. Magician?"

Leon turned his head and a mysterious wizard figure appeared in the dark shadows.

Li, wearing the robes of the secret order, walked out from the corner and sat in the seat that Lian had just left.

Still hot.

"Leon, when did you start teasing people? I remember that our relationship was not that good."

"Really? Since we're not on good terms, I'm going to settle the score with you for drugging me so many times!"

Li took off his mask, revealing an embarrassed face.

"I didn't expect you to remember everything. I thought you had forgotten everything."

"I beat up George and he confessed everything. The biggest mistake you made was to get involved with such a villain."

From the beginning to the end, Leon knew what kind of person George was.

He is greedy for money, power, and is very timid, making him a very useful attendant.

After a while of banter, the two of them avoided talking about Lian.

Lian was a mutual friend of both of them, but everything changed when they became involved in a relationship.

Leon couldn't quickly cancel his fake engagement with Lian, and Li couldn't take the next step with Lian.

Li hasn't even resolved Theresa's issue yet, so how could he have the time to care about Lian?

"Tell me, you are dressed so formally and sneaked into the palace to see me late at night. What do you need?"

Lian's arrival just now interrupted the communication between Li and Leon, and now everything continues.

Li fiddled with the mask with his fingers, feeling around its edges and tracing the fine magical runes on it with his fingers.

"I came here today to ask you for a favor."

"Looks like I can return the favor!"

Li actually came to seek help, Leon was so happy that he almost jumped up.

As we all know, favors are the hardest to repay, let alone a favor owed to an undead wizard like Li.

"Tell me, I will give you my full support as long as I can do it!"

Leon straightened his posture, ready to use his power as a prince to fulfill Lee's request.

But the next moment, Leon was dumbfounded.

"Well, this is the case. I want to borrow a magical tool from you."

"Artifact!"

Fortunately, Leon wasn't drinking water, otherwise he would definitely spurt it out.

"What do you think the artifact is? A cabbage in the kitchen? You just ask me to lend it to you!"

Divine artifacts are God-given objects passed down from ancient times and contain special powers. There are only a few of them in the entire kingdom.

"This is the royal palace. The royal family must have a sacred artifact. I am just borrowing it to use. I promise to return it in its original condition!"

"…Your promise is still trustworthy, but I don't have a divine weapon, why would you want one…"

"I'm so proud of myself, I've boasted so much, and you tell me you don't have a magic weapon, isn't this a waste of time?"

"You're wasting my time too, Lee."
