The Low-Key Life of a Necromancer

The banquet hall of the Grand Duke's house looks very simple.

This place is not like other noble banquet halls, which are decorated magnificently with gold and gems.

The Grand Duke's banquet hall has light gray walls and a light blue dance floor.

But don’t think that the Grand Duke’s house is really simple. The floors and walls are all made of materials from monsters that have disappeared today.

The skeleton of this building alone came from a whale stranded in the South Bay.

In the past, the Grand Duke was a powerful noble who controlled half of the kingdom.

"Look! It's Miss Lian!"

Lian changed into a red dance dress and walked into the venue with a cat-like step.

As the daughter of the host family, she was dressed the most colorfully.

A wooden folding fan emitting a fragrant breeze covered half of Lian's face, giving people a feeling of wanting to refuse but also to welcome.

Those young men who had previously only completed their family's arrangements were truly astounded by Lian's beauty this time.

It is said that clothes make the man. Lian, who mainly practices martial arts, has coordinated body movements and exudes strength. She is more attractive than other frail noble girls just by looking at them.

Lian walked slowly across the dance floor, through the crowd that was focusing their attention on her.

Climbing up the stairs, Lian gently picked up the loudspeaker with her left hand and greeted the guests.

But when she turned around, her exquisite figure from behind was hidden, causing many men to sigh in regret and the female guests at the banquet to grit their teeth.

"Dear guests, welcome to the holiday dance party hosted by the Freyr family. Dear young men and women, today is a happy holiday. Please don't be restrained or worried. Enjoy the present moment, be free, be confident, and destiny will come naturally~"

Lian spoke the lines she had prepared in advance, announcing the theme of the banquet.

Blind date!

Of course, there is only one Lotus. If you focus on Lotus all day long, you will be exhausted to death.

In addition to those who wanted to curry favor with the Grand Duke, this banquet also invited people of status in the royal capital and the families of minor nobles.

"Next, a happy holiday song for everyone~"

It must be said that even though Lian is seen wielding swords and sabers all day long, she is also quite good at displaying aristocratic elegance.

Li took advantage of the free time in the kitchen to secretly come to the corner of the dance party and watched Lian's wonderful performance throughout.

From today onwards, the beautiful name of lotus will surely spread throughout the world.

"I don't know who will get this stunning beauty~"

Lian sang a classic opening song, and the banquet suddenly became lively.

The male guests who came to support the event invited their dance partners to dance the waltz on the dance floor.

Lian walked down from the main stage and sat at the round table below, slowly killing the boring time.

As long as no one comes to harass Lian, Lian can stay until the next stage. I hope those stinky men can understand my feelings.

Lian had a stern face, giving off an aura that kept strangers away, which really scared away many young men who had never seen the world.

However, this banquet was essentially a banquet to highlight the power of the Grand Duke, and it was basically impossible to get through it peacefully.

Others dare not disturb Lian, but that does not mean that people who are as good as the Grand Duke dare not disturb her.

Just as the dance was going on happily, someone suddenly broke in, disturbing the guests who were concentrating on dancing.

The leader was wearing a military uniform issued by the kingdom, and next to him stood a handsome man.

The man was dressed as a prince, holding a beautiful woman in his arms.

A group of three walked into the center of the banquet hall, and the men and women who were hugging their dance partners quickly made way.

"Mr. Feng, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Leon, and Cousin Feng, please forgive me for not welcoming you in person."

The Feng family was originally a part of the Freyr family, but they branched out three hundred years ago to lead the king's royal guards.

The middle-aged man in the lead is the current Grand Duke of the Feng family. In terms of status, he is equal to Lian's father.

But the Feng family declined quite thoroughly. After the king was sidelined by the aristocratic parliament, the Feng family did not have a single soldier or general under their command, and the grand duke's son was even demoted to earl.

Crown Prince of Leon, the heir to the next king, looks glorious and powerful, but in fact he is the laughing stock of the kingdom.

Because the old king was so long-lived, he had already outlived three crown princes. People were rumored to have Leon dying before the old king.

"Niece Lian, I haven't seen you for many years. You have grown into a beautiful lady. Today, your uncle and the crown prince are here to support you. I hope you can make room for me."

Mr. Feng's words were flawless, and on the surface he seemed to be here to provide support to Lian.

But he kept calling her niece and putting himself in the position of an elder, trying to suppress Lian.

As a junior, Lian could not win the argument with Mr. Feng. The only one who could deal with Mr. Feng was his father.

So Lian directly turned her attention to Mr. Feng's daughter, her cousin Feng.

"Since Mr. Feng is tired, I can give my seat to you, cousin Feng. We are both young people, so let's dance together~"

Lian threw away the folding fan in her hand, stood up and flattened her skirt.

Then, Lian put her legs together, stood upright, and invited Cousin Feng to dance like a man.

Cousin Feng, who was originally holding the prince's arm, did not expect Lian to attack her.

Before she could refuse, Lian had already grabbed Cousin Feng's hand and apologized to Prince Leon.

"I'm sorry, but I'd like to borrow your female companion, Your Highness~"

Lian pulled her cousin into the dance floor, and the two women of different looks danced together.

The band noticed the change in atmosphere and immediately played a passionate melody to accompany the two people's solo dance.

Lian's feet followed the men's dance steps, and Cousin Feng stepped backwards to follow them. It was more like a dance battle between the two than a dance.

Two pairs of long legs appeared and disappeared under the fluttering dance skirt, and the perverts watching around sighed from time to time.

"Cousin Feng, why did you bring the prince to my house?"

"It's obvious, cousin. The parliament has relaxed the royal power. Your Freyr family can stand on the stage again, and the royal power can naturally be~"

Lian understood that just as his family held a banquet to announce the family's rise, Wang Quan also wanted to find an opportunity to prove the same thing.

Lian's family could hold a banquet to recruit a son-in-law for Lian, but cousin Feng did not have such an opportunity.

Because the other party had already been engaged to the prince.

Hence today's conflict. The Feng family wanted to step on Lian's family to gain power and thus highlight their own existence.

It is really ironic that the two parties were one family three hundred years ago, but now they have become stepping stones for each other to rise to power.

Lian remembered that Li once said something that could well summarize the relationship between the two families.

"Originally born from the same root, why is it too urgent to fry each other."

"Cousin, what are you talking about?"

Seeing that cousin Feng didn't understand the meaning of this sentence, Lian just laughed.

Lotus Step kissed Cousin Feng, scaring her so much that she bent backwards, and the two formed a graceful posture, ending the dance battle.

"I wish you happiness, my dear cousin~"
