The zombies in her previous life were not weak and rotting. They infiltrated the capital during the night which caused a sudden uproar in the city. The royal knights were a little too late to arrive at the scene, too many citizen had already been bitten and eaten by the time they heard the screams of the people.

My little sister was the one to get me that night and we left all of a sudden to go to our territory in the south. Jannah thought, her eyes staring out of the carriage with a straight expression.

Sighing, she looked away from the window and looked at the pink haired maid across from her. She remembered vaguely that the people in the mansion had created so much noise to let her escape with her sister. Lucienta was one of them. The said maid is sitting in front of her with a small smile on her face, wondering why her mistress looked so troubled ever since she woke up that morning.

Since the zombies were obviously newly turned, she's sure that they won't be easy to kill them since their muscles and flesh aren't rotting. The zombies in three years would be much more easier to fight and kill due to their weakened state. However, their desperate behavior for fresh meat..

Ugh.. Jannah let out a disgusted groan, holding her forehead with her face turning pale. The thought of those flesh eating monsters feasting upon the people she knew and grow up with was something she didn't want to think of right now.

Fortunately, the carriage had come to a stop and the door creaked open.

"My lady." Her knight, Jeremiah, held out his hand to her.

Jeremiah was just an ordinary knight that guards the mansion gate, but she knows that he's one of the loyal and trusted person she would have in the future.

He was the one who met up with Jeriel, carrying a bag of guns, knives, and gunpowders. He was very tight lipped and loyal until he was bitten before they could finish the base, a zombie horde walked past the site and the idiot Juan caused a noise, leading the zombies into the unfinished base.

Now that I think about it.. Jannah mentally mused, placing her hand on top of Jeremiah's and stepped out of the carriage carefully, Juan was the one who came running to the base and was screaming his head off.

That bastard must have done that to have the people I trust get killed. Thinking back about it, Jannah had always wondered why the five people she trusted the most ended up dying before they could finish the base. Jeremiah was one of them, unfortunately.

"Thanks." She nodded her head towards him, "The two of you must do the task I gave while I speak with the Duke."

"Understood, my lady." Lucienta answered cheerfully and smiled, "I'll have them sent to the mansion! I'll tell them that the Countess needs it as soon as possible!"

"Good girl." Jannah gave the maid a small smile before she turned around and walked inside the building.

"Waaaahhh.. She's so beautiful.." Lucienta mumbled, her cheeks warm and eyes wide with adoration as she watch her mistress disappear behind the door, "She complimented me, too! I could die from happiness right now!"

"So dramatic." Jeremiah commented under his breath, causing Lucienta to whisk her head in his direction and glare menacingly.

That was the start of their bickering.
