Chapter 128
Though Lise did not respond to my comment, her silence was confirmation enough.
She herself had admitted to having knowledge of curses, demon contracts, and necromancy.
Besides, Asad had hinted at it before.
—I protect the main house and the center of the forest. The area you’re in is under someone else’s jurisdiction.
—Who is that?
—Lise Ladygoth. If I am the outward House Guardian, then she is a hidden guardian. Specifically, the guardian of the forest... as well as the librarian of the underground library.
"Thinking back, there were many strange things about that place. My guess is that you cast a spell over the entire rear garden..."
It was the only explanation for undead roaming so close to the Bednicker main house, even if it had been in the dead of night. If Lise was also a guardian of the family, then those undead were on our side.
Lise, sensing the cult's intrusion, must have sent them as reinforcements.
