The Low-Key Life of a Necromancer

Lord Lucy would get up on time every day, wash and dress up, and then ride a white horse through the city.

Lucy wears her most striking winter coat and never looks the same again.

Many noble ladies would wait on the roadside to observe how Lady Lucy dressed, and then learn how she dressed and apply it to themselves.

In Windmill River Bay, in addition to bulk transactions such as grain, the business with the highest profit margin is the various luxury goods sold to noble ladies.

At first, soft fabrics and perfumes were popular, but recently...

It is said to be a close fitting garment worn inside.

"Mr. Earl, welcome!"

Everyone in the city knows Lucy, and she is a frequent customer of Fortune Catering.

Unless Lucy is sick and cannot go out, she will have three meals a day at Caiyun Catering.

Here, you can eat new dishes made by Li from time to time. If the time is right, you can also talk to Li a few more times to enhance the relationship between the two sides.

"Where's Brother Li? Why can't I see him?"

Lucy came to the kitchen skillfully, but only saw Lilith with a sour face.

Lilith was making broth, and from time to time she would scoop out some with a spoon to taste the broth.

"Brother Li is not here, no matter how tight you hold it, it's useless!"

Ever since she met Lucy, Lilith realized that she had met her match.

Having both received aristocratic education and being shameless women, Lucy and Lilith are evenly matched and neither can defeat the other.

"Heh~ You vampire, you still speak so harshly. Brother Li and I are engaged. He is my fiancé, and you are just a distant relative!"

"Engagement? Your engagement is not valid at all. Your father forced it on me in order to win over Brother Li. Brother Li let me suck his blood. According to the heritage of the vampire clan, Brother Li's bloodline has merged with mine. Only then can we be a family!"

"Ah~ Vampires are really disgusting. They can even make such things sound so righteous."

After the two bickered for a while, Lucy went back outside and ordered two of her favorite lamb chops.

The T-shaped lamb ribs are thick with meat, and the smoked flavor is perfectly mixed with the onion fragrance. Paired with the cranberry jam on the plate, it is filling but not greasy and nauseating.

After Lucy finished the first portion, she elegantly took a sip of the scented tea, then took the second portion and prepared to continue eating.

Just then, a soldier suddenly came running from outside to report.

"My Lord Earl, the knights of the Holy See from the capital said they would come to our city to arrest the rebels!"

The soldier who came to report the news was very nervous. Outsiders didn't know what was going on in the north, but the soldiers in the castle knew the truth very well.

The lord's family died and was resurrected, the North is gathering strength to prepare for independence, and the rebel that the king's capital wants to capture is none other than the Earl in front of him.

After hearing the soldier's report, Lucy didn't pay much attention to it.

After finishing her lamb chops slowly, Lucy wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, then took out a makeup mirror and lipstick and elegantly touched up her makeup.

The king will send someone to investigate, and this result has been discussed countless times.

The father and brother worked together with Li and developed several response plans.

Lucy was confident and not panicked at all.

"Let's go. I'm going to meet those people coming from the capital."

Having experienced life and death, Lucy is no longer the aristocratic girl who only throws tantrums.

After being a lord for half a year, Lucy has developed the bearing of a superior.

Lucy rode her white horse and greeted the residents of the city warmly along the way.

Lucy noticed that there were unfamiliar faces in the corners of the street looking at her. They should be the knights of the Vatican who came from the royal capital.

The soldier turned the capstan and pulled the iron gate in front of the castle.

When Lucie returned to her residence, she immediately saw the Duchess sitting in the reception room.

Freyr Lian.

The Duke's daughter who had a relationship with Brother Li in childhood doesn't look that good either.

Lian's beauty and temperament were impeccable, but she just sat there acting silly, which made Lucy disdain her.

If the two of them switched places, Lucy promised that she would not be so stupid as to come to the North to investigate some rebellion.

Isn't this putting yourself in danger?

"I'm so sorry, my dear guest. I just went to inspect the territory and didn't expect to keep you waiting for so long."

Lucy handed her coat to the servant, picked up the perfume on the table and sprayed herself to cover up the earthy smell brought in from outside.

Lian, as a guest, kept watching Lucy from beginning to end, watching her relax at home.

"Count Lucy, you are the daughter of Count Dalai. Before the appointment letter of the change of title is issued, you'd better not act like a count."

"Hmm? My father and brother have passed away one after another. Shouldn't the title be passed to me to inherit?"

Lian adhered to the principle of impartiality and started by making a fuss about Lucy's title.

Lucy was stunned for a moment, then began to fight back.

"The title should indeed be inherited by Miss Lucy, but without the royal appointment, Miss Lucy's current actions are illegal!"

Lian has already found out that Lucy took over the territory in the name of the earl.

New laws and regulations were also enacted to allow for trade with surrounding villages and towns.

As an investigator assigned by the royal capital, Lian has the responsibility to point out Lucy's mistakes.

When Lucy heard Lian's sharp accusation, she burst into tears miserably.

"You, how can you blame me like this? When my father was in trouble, I asked the Vatican for help and explained the situation to the capital, but no one came to help me. Now I have finally made it through, and you actually say that I did something wrong!"

When Lian saw Lucy wiping her tears without saying a word, she immediately felt disgusted.

A countess who relied on tears to ascend to the throne does not seem to be as outstanding as the outside world rumored.

"You'd better stop crying, I'm not with you..."

Lian wanted to teach Lucy a lesson and make her correct her attitude when talking about rebellion.

But Lucy squeezed out a soft voice, and the words she said hit Lian's sore spot.

"I know who you are! You are Miss Lian from the Duke of Freyr's family. You are also a woman, and your mother is someone I admire. The Freyr family once faced a desperate situation, and it was your mother who supported the entire family, which brought the Freyr family today's glory. At the most cruel time, didn't your mother take over the position of Duke without the king's canonization?"

Lucy directly brought up the story of Lian's mother to compare with her own behavior today.

It was exactly the same situation, and Lian was so choked that she couldn't refute.

If Lian continues to accuse Lucy of having problems with her title, then the current Freyr family also has problems with their titles.

The fact that Lucy inherited the title was originally a good point of attack, but it was blocked by Lian's fork.

Lian looked at the crying Lucy again and found that this poor countess did not seem as weak as she thought.

When Lucy saw Lian's deflated look, the corners of her mouth, which were covered with her hands, unconsciously curled up.

I have practiced my eloquence by bickering with the vampire Lilith all day long. How can I lose to you, a foreign duke?

If you are good at talking, you are afraid of being stupid!
