I didnt get to read the story coz i skipped to the ending what halpened to lance wasnt he ...

lance was her guard when she was alive and a princess. She secretly had the power of a necromancer and it was a hidden secret of the family. One day, a necromancer came for revenge because the king didn't really care about his subjects. He wanted to bring the princess to his side, but Lance took her and ran away so she wouldn't have to use her power. However, they were chased and overwhelmed, resulting in Lance's death. Since Lance promised to always protect her, he asked her to use her power to turn him into an undead skeleton that could protect her still.
