The Low-Key Life of a Necromancer

Chapter 367: Chess Game Witness

The flag of the kingdom is flying high, and your Royal Highness personally greets every innocent person who has been harmed.

At this moment, the kingdom's ruling power was fully demonstrated.

The soldiers cleaned up the debris after the battle with extremely quick methods.

The burnt carriages and cargo were buried directly on the spot. The half-burnt carriages and cargo were set on fire to burn them into ashes and then buried on the spot.

After this treatment, there were no traces of the previous conflict on the ground.

All the survivors were taken away from the scene, and the prince was thoughtful enough to provide low-interest loans to merchants who had suffered huge losses.

After dealing with the victim in the incident, Leon came to Li, rubbing his hands like a fly.

"plum…"

"Leon, did His Majesty the King assign you another crappy mission?"

"As expected of you, Li, you guessed it right away~"

Leon gave Li a thumbs up and praised Li for being smart, brave and strong.

"Well, it's like this. After all, the vampires are related to the safety of the capital, so my father asked me to bring them back for interrogation."

Leon stated his request with an apologetic look on his face. The vampires captured by Li needed to be taken back to the capital for disposal.

Li knew that the other party's request was reasonable, and it would be best to hand the vampire over to the king for disposal.

However, Lilith had said before that she would take them to live in the north. Thinking of this, Li immediately looked at Lilith and asked her questions.

Lilith, who originally had her own ideas, did not dare to continue to be willful after experiencing the impact of this fake knight.

"…If the king promises not to kill vampires at will, I will hand them over to you."

Lilith compromised, and those vampire bastards had made an unforgivable mistake.

Lilith was willing to hand them over to the king, only asking him to relax his control over vampires.

Seeing that Lilith no longer spoke up for the vampires, Lee looked at her in surprise.

The Lilith now is like two completely different people from the Lilith who was protecting the tribe a few days ago.

"Don't look at me like that, Brother Li. If the price of saving the vampire is that more innocent people get hurt, then I would rather compromise."

Li sighed. If Lilith could see through it earlier, it would save a lot of trouble.

However, some things can only be seen clearly through personal experience.

This can be considered as Lilith gaining another bit of experience.

"Um~ I'm so sorry, in addition to them, my father also wants to invite Miss Lilith to the palace for a chat, please forgive me!"

Long before leading the team out, Leon was called over by the old king and given a series of tasks.

Among them, the most important task is to bring Lilith to the palace.

Leon asked his father why he had to have Lilith come over. Such a forced invitation would easily cause Li to be disgusted.

But the old king said, just do your job.

Leon couldn't understand the twists and turns, but after hesitating for a moment, Li nodded and agreed to Leon's request.

"Lilith can go back with you, but you must ensure Lilith's safety!"

"I promise in the name of the prince!"

After some back and forth, Li and Leon decided on Lilith's next move.

Lilith, who was just staring at the side, was so angry that she laughed.

"Your Highness Leon, shouldn't you ask for my opinion when you invite me to the palace? Besides, I'm injured and my whole body aches and I need to rest!"

Leon was overwhelmed by Lilith's momentum and didn't dare to refute at all.

In this situation, only Li can soothe Lilith's emotions.

"Lilith, what do you think? If you don't want to go to the palace, I can assure you that no one can force you."

"That's pretty much it!"

Lilith calmed down when she saw Li defending her.

In the end, Lilith still agreed to Leon's request and set out on the journey back to the capital with the royal guards.

Along the way, Lilith was racking her brains to think about what important matter the king wanted her to come over.

"It's probably something to do with vampires again..."

Lilith never thought that she would be involved in such a complicated dispute.

When she was still a noble lady, the title of king was still a high and mighty existence.

The person who once stood in the clouds now wanted to summon her. Lilith did not feel honored, but rather nervous.

The royal guard moved very quickly and arrived at the palace two days earlier than the caravan.

"Ms. Lilith, this way please."

After spending these few days together, Lilith and Prince Leon are no longer strangers.

Leon personally received Lilith and led her to the King's Chamber.

When the old king saw his son bringing a girl over, he immediately and warmly invited Lilith to sit down, which made Lilith very uncomfortable.

"Little girl, you are so much shy compared to your brother~"

"Good day, Your Majesty. This is the first time someone has said that I am a shy girl."

Lilith was originally unsure about what attitude she should adopt towards the king.

As a result, the king took the initiative to hold out the steps and let Lilith walk down.

Compared with when he treated Li, the old king obviously showed more kindness.

The old king called his attendant and specially brewed tea bought from the Fortune Catering Store, as well as some northern snacks that Lilith was familiar with.

Lilith was flattered, and she was even more unsure of what the old king was going to do.

"Relax a little~ I invited you to be my guest, not to interrogate you."

"Your Majesty, I don't know what qualifications I have to be a guest in the palace. Please tell me what your intention is in letting me come here."

"…You should know that I have seen what happened to Weiser Lee."

Lilith nodded.

The fact that Li was brought into the palace frightened the people around him for a time, and this incident almost shook the development of the North.

"When Li Zai came to my place, he was not polite at all. He really treated the palace as his own home~"

The old king asked Lilith to relax again, then took out a chessboard and placed it solemnly in front of Lilith.

The chess pieces on the chessboard are very exquisite, but the chessboard is a bit ordinary and does not match the style of the palace.

"I used to have an exquisite and expensive chessboard, but the last time I played chess with Li, I smashed it in anger."

The old king picked up the black king chess piece and pointed to the face of the chess piece to show Lilith.

"This is also the work of your brother. Playing chess with him is really infuriating!"

When talking about the last time he played chess with Li, the old king gnashed his teeth in anger.

After noticing Lilith's awkward expression, the old king regained his amiable side.

"Don't worry, I asked you to come here just because I wanted a witness. I want you to witness the chess game between me and Li, and see who will have the last laugh!"
