The Low-Key Life of a Necromancer

After sorting out her thoughts from Pastor Martin, Theresa turned around and ran to the hotel to look for Li.

Theresa felt that her previous attitude was problematic, and she didn't want to become estranged from Li.

"Lee, I have something to tell you...why aren't you wearing any clothes!"

As soon as Theresa knocked on Li's door, she saw Li tilting his head to look at her.

After realizing that the person coming was Theresa, Li opened the door and turned around to continue choosing clothes.

"I'm only wearing my pants, why are you yelling like you haven't seen anything."

Theresa covered her eyes with her hands and looked at Lee's small body through her fingers.

She really had never seen Li's figure. Teresa, who was familiar with Li's body structure, only existed in Li's memory.

"Hey, hurry up and get dressed, I really have something to tell you!"

Seeing that Theresa was so anxious, Li had to put on a set of clothes at random. Xiaoli, who was waiting at the side, helped Li hold up the clothes so that it would be more convenient for him to put on.

"Xiao Li! Li is a hooligan, don't you feel shy about that?"

“…Teresa, I am the young master’s maid. I have seen everything from childhood to adulthood. What is there to be shy about?”

At this moment, Theresa, who was jumping on the spot, looked so ridiculous.

After a while of noise, the atmosphere in the room finally returned to normal. Theresa looked at Li and spoke shyly.

"Li, does the Lord's death really have nothing to do with you?"

"…You rushed over here just to tell me this?"

"I, I just want to confirm. If it wasn't you who did it, then I want to apologize to you."

Li was confused. Did Teresa apologize to him? Did Teresa do anything to deserve an apology?

"I didn't believe you at first. I thought you might have used witchcraft to harm the Lord, which would be an act of disrupting order, so I..."

"So you hesitated when helping me? It's not a big deal, you don't have to apologize."

Li was a little disappointed. The Theresa in front of him was too different from himself, but Li always mixed the person in front of him with the Theresa in his memory.

Theresa noticed Li's emotions. She didn't know what Li was thinking, but she thought Li disliked her.

"Li, my father told me that I can't blindly believe what others say and I should have my own opinions on things. So, I still want to be friends with you!"

After saying this, Theresa was extremely shy. She felt ashamed, but at the same time she hoped that Li could accept her apology.

Li is not the kind of person who would nitpick over such trifles, and from the beginning Li never blamed Theresa.

"Teresa, I am willing to accept your apology..."

Before Li finished speaking, someone knocked on the guest room door again. After Xiaoli walked over and opened the door, she saw the pitiful appearance of the Earl's daughter with tears in her eyes.

The last time Li saw the Earl's daughter, she was still a spoiled little girl, but when they met this time, she had become a poor person without family.

The father was dead and the brother was missing with no news. The most important thing was that the brother killed the father with a knife with his own hands. Many soldiers saw it.

The temple announced that someone used black magic to control the little earl, which caused such a scene.

Now that Li has proven his innocence, the real murderer is self-evident.

"Mr. Li, I'm sorry to come to see you in this state. Such a big thing happened at home, and I don't know who to talk to."

"Please come in...Miss, I'm also very sorry about what happened to your father and brother."

Li invited the Earl's daughter into the room. She wiped her tears and stared at Li with misty eyes.

"Brother Li, you didn't remember my name at all? My name is Lucy, and my father betrothed me to you."

Dalai's daughter Lucy looked resentful as she spoke, as if Li was an irresponsible and unfaithful man.

Li's face was covered in cold sweat. He had never agreed to this outrageous marriage proposal, but seeing Lucy's pitiful appearance, Li couldn't object too strongly.

Li was afraid that Lucy would become depressed and commit suicide under so much pressure, and then the Earl's family would be completely left with no one.

"Let's not talk about the engagement for now. Lucy, you came to the hotel on purpose. Did something happen?"

Lucy pursed her lips. Seeing that Li opposed the engagement, she didn't dare to bring it up again.

Lucy pulled a piece of brightly colored cloth out of her handbag, matching some of the things Lee remembered.

After taking the piece of cloth handed to him by Lucy, Li realized where the item in his hand came from.

"Is this a piece of cloth from your brother's clothes?"

"Yes, my brother's eye-catching floral dress was specially made by someone. This kind of fabric is almost never the same."

Lucy and Lee were both certain that the cloth came from the missing little Dalai.

"Meet at the windmill at one o'clock in the morning... Is this a date?"

Li read the words on the cloth and found that the message that Xiao Dalai left for his sister was an appointment to meet.

Lucy took back the cloth with some hesitation, put it carefully back into her handbag, and sat down nervously.

"I found it this morning. It was in the crack of the door. When I opened the bedroom door, it was lying on the floor. Neither the servants nor the soldiers saw anyone coming in."

Anyone who could avoid the soldiers and servants and quietly approach Lucy's bedroom, and do this after the castle was under martial law, could do so except for little Dalai who was familiar with the castle's structure.

Little Dalai asked his sister to meet him at the mill outside the city, which was most likely a trap.

Lee looked up at Lucy and gave his opinion

"If I were you, I would stay in the castle. Your family's loyal guards will ensure your safety."

"But, that's my brother, maybe he needs my help!"

Lucy was very conflicted. Her reason told her that the message was a scam and that the mastermind behind the case wanted to wipe out the last bloodline of the Dalai family.

But there is another possibility.

Little Dalai has escaped from the control of the person behind the scenes, and he needs his sister's help to catch the real murderer.

Although the latter possibility is very small, as a younger sister, I cannot allow my brother to encounter danger outside.

"Weize Li, you are the only person I know who can help me. If you are willing to accept my request, I can marry you immediately!"

Getting married immediately means that Li can directly take over the property left by the Earl, and Li will instantly become the owner of Windmill River Bay and the surrounding land.

This is a very tempting suggestion, even tempting.

As long as he agrees to the request of the Countess, Li can achieve his goal in the most direct way.

"…This is a trap, but I will go with you to ensure your brother's safety, as well as your own."

Li stared at the Earl's daughter seriously for a while, and finally, regardless of Xiaoli's obstructive look, he directly agreed to the Earl's daughter's request.

Lucy was overjoyed and threw herself into Li's arms, kissing him passionately on the cheek.
