The Low-Key Life of a Necromancer

Two months have passed since the Undead Resurrection incident, and thanks to the efforts of many parties, the capital has finally returned to peace.

People's lives returned to their former peace, except that the beauty salon was closed.

Some city guards were guarding the remains of the beauty salon, and many researchers were going in and out of the ruins.

"These people are so disgusting that they can get excited just by looking at a zombie."

"Hey, you don't understand this, right? I heard that grinding the skin of this zombie into powder can make a man return to his prime!"

"real or fake!"

The two city guards on duty were too bored and huddled together to chat in low voices.

When the latter heard that zombie skin had medicinal value and looked at the eyes of the corpses, he had abandoned his initial disgust.

"Hey, you're not really going to steal a corpse, are you? I was just talking nonsense!"

"Since there are such rumors, maybe there is a way~"

Once a man becomes curious, he will not stop until he dies, just like a cat.

The city guard with shining eyes was obviously attracted by the things in the ruins.

As long as he is given the opportunity, this guy will definitely embezzle!

His companion couldn't stand it anymore and quickly changed the subject.

"Come to think of it, the capital has become quite lively recently."

"…Yes, the Magic Academy and the Knight Academy are both on summer vacation, so we ordinary people should be more careful~"

The power behind the young people who are able to study in the kingdom’s key colleges cannot be underestimated.

The winter and summer vacations every year are the peak periods for conflict incidents in the royal capital.

Two students were walking on the street and they couldn't stand each other's arrogant attitude, which led to a conflict and then developed into a fight between the two families.

Because he was treated as a fool by the store owner, he realized his mistake and brought people to smash the store.

There are also brothers who become enemies because they fall in love with the same woman.

As soon as summer vacation arrived, all the evildoers who had been locked up in the school came out all at once.

There is a widely circulated saying that magic academies and knight academies are not just places to cultivate talents.

They are also facilities that protect ordinary people.

"I heard that your son was admitted to the magic academy. How is he doing? Is his grades good?"

"Well, getting into a college like that doesn't just depend on academic performance. My son came back and told me that students like him who come from a poor family can only flatter those children from wealthy families, or be pushed to the margins."

"Alas, we have struggled all our lives, but we can't even touch their heels."

The two people who were originally very happy became sad when they talked about the future of their children.

You can't say they didn't try hard, they have already provided the best conditions for their children.

But this is the general environment. The kingdom, which has developed stably for hundreds of years, has already formed a stable system.

If you want to cross classes, one can rely on luck, while the other can only rely on strength.

Speaking of strength, the Grand Duke has been frequently making his presence felt recently, and people have thus witnessed what true aristocratic background is.

"Quick, salute!"

The beauty salon is located next to the main road in the royal capital. After the ban, ordinary people are not allowed to approach, but the passage of the powerful cannot be blocked.

A luxurious carriage pulled by six dragon-blood war horses galloped through the street. The soldiers saluted one after another, their eyes full of envy.

What is appearance? This is appearance!

Sitting in the speeding carriage, Lian looked anxious.

The school was on vacation, and as the daughter of the Grand Duke, it was natural for her to go home.

Unlike the previous low-key style, this time the family sent a carriage to pick him up.

In order to highlight the strength of her family, Lian took off her combat short shirt and put on a complicated long skirt.

The decorations on her head made Lian's scalp numb, and the pearl necklace wrapped three times around her neck made it hard for Lian to breathe.

However, what really made Lian uneasy was not these unfamiliar decorations, but the news the housekeeper told her.

"Li actually moved into my house. What exactly does father plan to do?"

Two months ago, Lian's father went to the magic academy in person to contact Li.

Because of Li's series of actions, the Grand Duke, who had been suppressed, got a chance to breathe.

In just two months, the previously unmentioned Grand Duke regained his status and became a favorite in the eyes of the powerful.

Lian, the daughter of the Grand Duke, has also come into the sight of many people.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Grand Duke is about to rise!

In order to keep up with the Grand Duke and increase his own power, marrying into the Grand Duke became the lowest-cost way.

"Miss, the master said that you will have to attend many banquets when you return home this time. You must make more friends with young talents. It would be best if you can choose a husband that suits your heart during this summer vacation."

The head maid who originally followed Lian died in the last rebellion, and the one serving Lian now is the family's old butler.

Lian listened to Lao Guan's instructions, but mixed emotions arose in her heart.

Marriage is an issue that every adult man and woman will face.

But for Lian, the word marriage was something she had never paid attention to before.

When the family power weakens, everyone wants to step on it.

Lian has seen too many disgusting people and has recognized their true faces.

Now, my father wants to choose someone to marry from among those people.

Marriage means spending a lifetime together, and the daughter of the Grand Duke cannot marry and divorce casually like ordinary people.

Lian knew that she only had one chance in her life to get married, so she had to choose the right person and live a happy life.

If you choose the wrong person, you will be accompanied by pain every minute and every second thereafter.

The carriage was about to drive towards the manor. This manor, covering hundreds of acres of land, was the property of the Grand Duke's ancestors.

The majestic gate and the statues of knights on both sides of the gate are the glory won by our ancestors.

Lian closed her eyes, and a figure unconsciously appeared in her mind.

If you want to choose someone to spend your life with and inherit the glory of your ancestors, the key is that you still like that person.

Then Li seems to be the best choice.

But will Li agree?

Lian returned home from vacation, but was told that she had to go on a blind date. Like other young girls in their prime, she was filled with longing and anxiety.

"Welcome home, Miss~"

The carriage stopped steadily, and the dragon-blood warhorse pulling the carriage automatically found a place to park.

The butler opened the carriage door and jumped out first.

Lian opened her eyes, but there was no trace of joy of returning home in them.

Lian knew very well that this summer vacation would be very difficult for her.

Lian reached out and placed her hand on the butler's.

Lian stepped out of the carriage like a princess, and was greeted with sighs and cheers.

Lian blinked and found that her carriage was surrounded.

A bunch of young men in tuxedos tried desperately to attract Lian's attention with all kinds of compliments.

"Amber, this is..."

"My lady, to celebrate your summer vacation, the master specially held a banquet, and these people have been waiting for a long time~"

Lian felt dizzy when she had to attend a social event after returning home and hadn't even had a rest yet.

Looking at the male monkeys in heat in front of her, Lian's stomach began to feel bitter.

If Lian had known that there would be so many troubles if the family became independent, she would have felt that the previous period of decline was more suitable for her.

"…Amber, is this party necessary?"

The old housekeeper nodded, and took out a wooden comb to comb the ends of the hair behind Lian's back.

"Miss, you can't escape, just accept your fate~"

“…It’s really beeping!”
