"Uh, apologies."
Milian immediately apologized and explained:
"I know staring at you like this is disrespectful, but I'm just curious—how can you produce such clear sound when you don't even have vocal cords?"
"I am a Necromancer. I use the power of death."
Rotem let out a strange laugh and said:
"Before I fell in the swamp, I was Hero King Boris's most valued Psychic.
Of course, the Psychic Spells of our era were still crude and rudimentary, incomparable to the sophisticated spells of your time. However, the bit of spiritual energy manipulation left in me after my resurrection makes it effortless to simulate my voice."
"You were the Hero King's brother-in-law, and Lady Shani is the Hero King's youngest daughter. So, does that mean the current Thorns Duke should call you 'uncle'?"
Murphy, intrigued by Rotem's familial ties, said with an odd expression:
"Could it be that you've held Shani when she was little?"
"Not at all."
