Chapter 197 Mother and Daughter
——He knows!
At that moment, Mi Funa was so shocked that she could hardly breathe. But then she realized that Mebucha not only had no intention of handing her over, but also wanted to keep her and let her settle down in the west city of Eston.
Although her and Dracy's plan to usurp the throne failed due to the accidental death of the usurper, since they had killed all the direct descendants, the Grand Duke Maybury Huntington became the vested interest and was about to ascend to become the new King.
Mebcha Huntington had no intention of reporting her, naturally because everyone now believed that members of the Delman royal family died of natural causes. If people knew that the Delman royal family was killed by poison, then no matter who she had served before, people would think she was from Mebcha.
Mebucha had been too close to her before, and Mebury herself had once had an unclear relationship with Princess Dracy, and the princess even secretly gave birth to two children... There were too many complicated and twisting relationships. If she was not an insider, she would have suspected whether all this was a coincidence or a deliberate setup by someone, and the mantis stalked the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.
Besides, making friends with a potion master is indeed an investment that will never go wrong.
Mi Funa raised her head, her gaze seeming to penetrate the door of the bookstore, looking towards the brewing workshop that was familiar yet unfamiliar to her.
She had lived here for more than twenty years and was filled with nostalgia for this house, this land, and this street. However, everything here had changed...
The owner of the bookstore has changed, most of the residents have moved away, the merchant who once sold her medicinal herbs has long since passed away, and his herbal medicine store has now become a greenhouse restaurant and tavern, and cicadas have appeared on the streets... In the entire neighborhood, perhaps only the gossipy wolf aunt is still guarding her original place.
The noodles tasted delicious, and before she knew it, she had one small bowl after another, finishing the entire portion in a long reminiscence.
Then she burped violently.
"How is it? Teacher, this noodle is delicious, right?" Paphis asked attentively. He was like a child offering treasures, wanting to give the best to his most respected teacher.
A slight warmth grew in Mi Funa's heart... Of course, it could also be the warmth released by the bowl of warm noodles in her stomach. Since becoming a zombie, she hadn't eaten anything other than the souls of living people. This feeling was very unfamiliar to her, but it also softened her hardened heart a little.
A high-level zombie like her could use magic to digest the food she took in, though it would only cost her a small amount of energy. Before this, Mi Funa hadn't believed there was any food in the world worth expending her hard-earned energy on, but now she felt that perhaps the lich had some merits.
The hatred in her heart faded slightly, but a bowl of noodles alone could not dispel the years of resentment and resentment in her heart.
Mi Funa never let go. The failed attempt to usurp the throne became a lingering shadow in her heart. Even though she had settled down in the West City of Eston, and her reputation as a potion master had spread throughout the Duchy of Huntington, she was never satisfied to stay in this small town, brewing potions by the crucible every day.
Even though it was only an extremely short period of time, she had indeed tasted the taste of power by Dracy's side. The feeling of being able to control the lives and deaths of countless people with just a word intoxicated her and made her unforgettable.
She had given so much, but Dracy died just like that! She was resentful and unwilling, and mourned her lost power every night.
Just think about it, she could have been the Imperial Preceptor! A teacher to the Queen! She would have become both a teacher and a mother, ruling the country alongside Dresi! But that damn curse took it all away!
She couldn't sleep at night, thinking every day about how to change everything. Finally, she sneaked back to Rose Hill and took Derek's "The Great Magic Book" from the study.
Mi Funa had read the "Great Magic Book" before. It can be said that one of the important reasons why she came to seek refuge with Dresi was that Mi Funa was very interested in the "Great Magic Book".
The blood curse inflicted on their descendants by deceased kings was a long-lost form of black magic. Therefore, only black magic of the same level could counter it. Mi Funa read the magic book over and over again, and finally decided to call Deresi back from the other side of the underworld.
She wanted to make Dresi an undead lich and take control of the kingdom that she deserved.
Before her death, Dresi had seized the wealth of the German Kingdom and hidden away the gold and silver treasures, forbidding anyone but herself to touch them. Mi Funa also knew that Dresi had adopted many children from the mostly burned-down villages near the villa, secretly brainwashing them and training them to be loyal warriors.
Dresi has so many resources in her hands. As long as she can come back to life, Mi Funa will be able to obtain those wealth and power through Dresi.
This wasn't easy. Lichmaking was a forbidden black magic of exceptional difficulty, and the only records left behind were of the caster transforming themselves into an immortal lich. No one would be willing to sacrifice their body, soul, and lifespan to recall a soul that had already entered the realm of the dead and grant it eternal life.
Although Mi Funa wanted to call back Dresi, she didn't want to sacrifice herself... So she came up with a bold and almost cruel idea.
Drexi could adopt those orphans and train them as assassins from a young age, and so could she! She would build the most perfect body for Drexi, and let that 'body' voluntarily offer its soul and body in exchange for everything she had lost!
So, after disappearing from the brewing workshop for more than half a year, Mi Funa finally returned with a baby girl. That child was Mi You.
Mi Funa devoted all her resources to nurturing this child, intent on shaping her into the most perfect form. To ensure the success of the complex lich-making ritual, she constantly pressured Mi You to learn magic, even using Mebucha's "debt" to send Mi You to Mebucha's Mage Tower, where she became his disciple.
Unfortunately, this child, who was half her blood, unexpectedly had no interest in magic. He had magical powers but didn't know how to use them, and no matter how he was taught, he couldn't learn. Besides drawing, he was obsessed with romance novels.
Whenever she thought of her 'daughter', Mi Funa became so angry that her teeth itched.
