"A favor?"
Simone spoke to the Grand Duke of Illeston, whose expression suddenly became stiff for some reason.
“I want to receive requests from other people in the future.”
“Someone else?”
“Just like when I handled Marquis Barrington’s request last time. Well, it was a curse he created, but anyway.”
Anyway, now that everyone in the empire knew about the existence of the necromancer, she wanted to use this to get requests.
Of course, she knows that necromancers are different from exorcists or shamans.
But does that mean Simone can't steal corpses from graves or collect souls through curses like a necromancer?
Other countries say they collect and offer it on their own, but it would be difficult to ask the Empire, which has only just begun to recognize Simone, to do that.
Grand Duke Illeston nodded at Simone's serious expression and accepted her request before asking.
“Why is that? You don’t have to work hard to earn money anymore.”
“Money is not the goal.”
Simone spoke firmly. Her eyes were more mature and determined than ever.
“I want to collect more wandering souls. Much more than I do now.”
Simone now fully understood how powerful her powers were. And how powerful the legions of souls that could be called the identity of a necromancer were.
'Eating and living is no longer a problem.'
People who celebrate and send gifts and say that this situation has been resolved safely? If you had seen Anasis in person, you would never be able to enjoy this moment.
As the only person in the Empire to have met Anasis in person during her summoning phase, it was easy to predict what would happen once she had fully regained her powers.
In addition, if Simone dared to make another prediction, the only people who could confront her with all their might and stop her would be the main characters of this novel, Abel and his group, and Simone.
Because she had personally experienced how dangerous Anasis was, she could not be optimistic and leave the rest to others.
The people of the dead Illeston Manor, the empire in ruins, demons descending from the sky, and the fanatics of Anasis, and in the middle of it all, the wounded Simone and her party are running around and struggling.

The people of the dead Illeston Manor, the empire in ruins, demons descending from the sky, and the fanatics of Anasis, and in the middle of it all, the wounded Simone and her party are running around and struggling.
They've already seen what the world would be like if Anasis were alive.
Must be protected.
How else could anyone watch that horrible death without even closing their eyes?
So, she says she will jump into the fire herself.
The Archduke's expression darkened even further as if he had read her thoughts from her expression.
“If you want, I will do as you wish.”
"Thank you."
“But I won’t leave you to carry that burden alone.”

u
Uh?
Simone opened her eyes wide and looked at the Grand Duke of Illeston.
Are those words really coming out of the Archduke's mouth?
The Archduke was glaring, no, staring at Simone with a frighteningly determined expression as if to show that what he said was true.
Why is that guy suddenly like this?
Of course, Grand Duke Illestone has been more lenient on her in many ways recently compared to before...
“The contract doesn’t matter anymore. You are our family’s benefactor. If you’ve made up your mind, we’ll help you. Whatever it takes.”
Simone kept her mouth shut. Words she thought would never come out of the Archduke spilled out.
The change is surprising considering how he initially treated her as the victim of the Necromancer's most brutal revenge.
“We will also protect you.”
Simone smiled quietly.
It seems that the hardships she's gone through have created another family for her without her even knowing it.
Simone nodded and got up.
“Then please take good care of me. The Occult Society would not have placed a curse only on Viscount Delang’s mansion. I will meet many people in the future, so I will gather a lot of related information.”
The nobles know that the Illeston family is protecting Simone, so they may approach her first to discuss matters related to psychic phenomena.
“I will tell you everything I hear.”
“Yes. Oh, and I received the magic stone that day and I’m using it well. I wish I had a few more similar ones.”
"I get it."
“As expected of Your Highness! Then I will go back now.”
“Simone.”
Simone, who was heading for the door, stopped.
“What are you going to do from now on?”
She turned around and smiled at the Grand Duke of Illeston.
“What am I going to do? I have to lift the curse.”
At the sight of her speaking as if it were a given, Archduke Illeston found himself chuckling. Simone turned around again but let out a small 'Ah'.
“Not today. We have guests today.”
The Grand Duke of Illeston nodded. Today was the day Crown Prince Louis was scheduled to visit the mansion to report on the situation.
When Simone came out of the study, the person standing in front of the door was startled and took a couple of steps back.
“Ugh, Simone...”
“Young Master.”
Jace was blushing again and was at a loss as to what to do.
Simone greeted him with a familiar smile.
“Good morning.”
“Yes, good morning! Well... I heard that Simone came out...”
“Yes, I’m feeling fine and it’s time to start lifting the curse.”
Simone walked ahead, foolishly thinking that he would follow her on his own and start talking to her.
Then Jace followed her for a few steps, stopped, and spoke in a small voice.
“Simone, I have something to tell you...”
"Yes?"
"Ah."
As Simone turned to look at him, Jace lowered his head and spoke in a crawling voice.
“I know this may not be of much use to you, Simone, but...”
“What is it?”
After hesitating for a while, Jace moved a little closer to Simone and spoke softly.
“I’m leaving tomorrow, Simone...”
Simone's eyes widened.
“Leaving?”
“Huh? Yes...”
“Where to?”
“I was officially admitted to the academy.”
Oh, is it that time already?
A month ago, Jace went to the capital with Marquis Barrington to prepare his academy admission documents.
Simone completely forgot about it because things started to change so quickly, but she guessed his documents were approved and his admission was confirmed.
In fact, the results were out a long time ago, but since Simone was locked in her room, he was only able to tell her the day before he left.
“You are leaving.”
Simone looked at him with renewed eyes.
It feels like a long time ago, but it's only been a little over half a year since Jace emerged from that horrible room alive.
When she first brought him to life, he looked like a child who couldn't even speak properly.
Before she knew it, he was about to enter the academy.
Jayce also seemed to know this and bowed his head as if he had been waiting.
“Thank you, Simone. Thank you, Simone.”
“What did I do?”
“You saved my life!”
Jace let out a loud noise without realizing it, hesitated again, and then said.
“I will be back soon.”
“Yes, stay healthy. If anyone is bothering you, tell me.”
She can't do anything for him, but she can at least give him a hint through Louis.
Simone is worried because Jayce is so innocent and naive.
Jace nodded as if to tell her not to worry.
“I will come here and become someone who can help Simone. I will work hard!”
Although his voice was still young, there was a firm determination in his eyes.
On that day a month ago, Abel, his party, and the Crown Prince all helped Simone, but he was just following along and receiving protection.
What a pitiful sight.
How much did Simone push herself during the month she spent in convalescence?
Jace decided he would no longer be a protector.
At the academy, he will learn knowledge that will be helpful to her, practice swordsmanship, and become stronger.
So that when a great threat comes, he won't be a burden. To be of help to Simone.
Simone just smiled her usual affectionate smile, not knowing whether she knew what Jace was thinking or not.
“Yes, please work hard. If I have any business in the capital, I will contact you often.”
“Yes! Please!”
“Simone, oh, you said you came out, and you really are.”
Simone and Jace stopped talking and turned around at the sudden sound of a voice.
Crown Prince Louis, the guest who had been scheduled to arrive today, was approaching them with Kelle, waving his hand lightly.
“Even Prince Jayce is here.”
Jace quickly lowered his head.
“I greet you, Your Highness.”
“Haha, I hope you won’t be too polite while we’re going through life and death together.”
"Thank you."
“Tomorrow, right? I heard you’re entering the academy.”
Louis exchanged a few words with Jace and then nodded to Simone.
“That’s good. I’m planning on having a conversation with the Archduke now. Would you like to join me? I have something to tell you.”
“Oh, then.”
Simone gave Jace a quick greeting and followed Louis back to the study.
Simone opened her eyes wide and looked at the Grand Duke of Illeston.
