The wrong transmigrator assigned by the system

"I fell in love with him the first time I saw him. His strength, his contempt for the powerful and wealthy, and his cynical personality all fascinated me. So when the previous Grand Duke was about to execute my father, I became his steward without hesitation for the sake of my family. What followed was a gradual development of feelings, and we fell in love with each other."

"Love at first sight? Why?"

"The person I was betrothed to before Lu Ming was someone who seemed witty and humorous, but was actually quite rigid. Once, when I was bullied, he didn't do a single thing. But Lu Ming, for the sake of Yusaha, who wasn't his girlfriend at the time, provoked my spendthrift brother, which piqued my interest. Later, in the dueling arena, he, merely a magic apprentice, faced the swordsman Ricard without fear, and even narrowly defeated him. Compared to him, Ricard, who groveled before the powerful, seemed so pathetic. It goes without saying that I fell for Lu Ming."

"I see..."

"You may not know how you feel about him, but I really hope we won't become enemies."

"Me too... but I don't know how I truly feel. Is it Lu Ming, or him...?"

"..." Sham glanced up at Philner, who was clearly hugging Lu Ming's pillow but whose mind was on the dead man. He sighed inwardly, 'Is she always thinking about him? Perhaps Lu Ming is already tired... Is this really good for her and Lu Ming?'

-----------------------------------

Just as Philner and Sham were talking, Lu Ming, who was playing with his two daughters in Agamemnon, encountered the Earl of Lothric.

"The Grand Duke wants you to go to the Grand Duke's residence."

"What, has he already gone back?" Lu Ming asked, somewhat puzzled.

"After all, she was engaged to Miss Schumira Ozmoz, and it wouldn't be right for her to continue living at Count Aimon's mansion, so she moved back to the Grand Duke's mansion at noon."

"Alright, I understand." Lu Ming nodded slightly, then called over his two daughters who were already having a blast, and together with Earl of Lothric, they headed towards the Grand Duke's mansion.

Because they had only been playing for a short time, Kanina and Amelia were both a little unhappy and didn't give Lothric a friendly look the whole way. In addition, given the discord between Lu Ming and Lothric, it's easy to imagine how uncomfortable Lothric was at this moment.

After less than twenty agonizing minutes, Lothric finally managed to bring Lu Ming and the others to the Grand Duke's mansion, Raelus Haddist.

Because they had to consider the Duke's feelings, Lu Ming and his two daughters didn't give Losrik any attitude here.

"Your Excellency, you wanted to see us?" In a huge room, Lu Ming and the others met with Duke Rael, Shumira, and Myra.

“Yes.” Grand Duke Rael nodded slightly and said, “On the one hand, I hope that Kanina and Amelia will begin teaching swordsmanship; on the other hand, I want to talk to Viscount Lu Ming about some things.”

"......All right."

After having his two daughters teach the Grand Duke's two fiancées swordsmanship and magic in the huge room, Lu Ming followed Grand Duke Rael and Lothric to a smaller meeting room.

The moment he sat down, the Grand Duke's first words were: "I want to kill Philner Ozmoz!"

"..." After a moment of stunned silence, Lu Ming angrily retorted, "I disagree!"

"You know! She knows too much!"

Even so, I disagree! She's my fiancée, and I will never allow anyone to hurt her!

Even if her heart only belongs to my deceased brother?

"..."

Seeing Lu Ming remain silent after being questioned, Rells advised, "Viscount Lu Ming, why are you so fixated on her? You have so many fiancées, and she's just a nuisance. She knows nothing of self-control. She's conservative yet insatiable, with an abnormal thirst for power. She takes your love for granted. Do you really think such a woman is worth your love?"

"What do you want?" Lu Ming asked, his eyes turning icy as he looked at Grand Duke Raels.

"I want you to give me and the nobles a weapon, a weapon that will free us from the fear of elves and dark elves!"

"Give me a month!" Lu Ming said without hesitation.

"What kind of feelings do you have for her that would make you, the Lord of Cinder of the Undead Legion, do this?"

"How could someone who only knows how to exploit and doesn't know what feelings are possibly know?"

"Forget it. I won't ask anymore. If you can give us the weapon, I think we won't need to worry about Philner anymore. I just want to know, what kind of weapon are you giving us?"

"Hehehe!" Lu Ming suddenly laughed and took out two miniature glass bottles from his pocket.

One by one, they were placed on the table in the conference room and introduced: "Plague and smallpox."

Then he took out another tiny glass bottle and laughed, "This is a new type of plague created by alchemists using dark mud mixed with plague and smallpox. Just one small bottle like this is enough to turn the entire continent into a wasteland!"

For a moment, Rael stared in astonishment at the three glass bottles containing bluish-black mud and murmured, "You're even crazier than my father."

"I'm sorry, Your Excellency, you may be mistaken. This is still an unfinished product. Moreover, the weapon I'm preparing for you won't be something so forbidden." With a dangerous smile, Lu Ming stood up and said. Then, he deliberately left the three glass bottles behind and turned to leave the Flame Stone.

After Lu Ming left, Grand Duke Rael couldn't help but keep staring at the three glass bottles. Lothric, however, showed absolutely no interest in them.

Seeing that Grand Duke Rael couldn't resist the temptation, stood up from his chair, and walked step by step toward the three glass bottles, a look of disappointment appeared on Lothric's face.

But soon, surprisingly, Rael stopped and ceased moving forward.

“This is another trap, isn’t it?” he asked, looking at Lothric beside him.

“That’s right! Once you pick up those four bottles, you’ll be completely in his hands and you’ll never be able to escape his control.” Lothric said with a smile as he saw that Rael had managed to resist the temptation.

"The fourth invisible bottle is for storing me, right?"

"Yes!"

-----------------------------------

“Ferna…” Sitting in a chair against the wall in the huge room, watching his two daughters teach swordsmanship to Xiumira and Myra, Lu Ming held a talisman that Ferna had given him a few months ago.

"You'll always be mine!"

-----------------------------------

Ten days later, at the Earl of Amon's manor, Earl Amon entered a room marked with a series of magic circles.

There were about twenty elves here, talking about something.

Upon seeing Count Amon finally arrive, a tall, muscular priestess among the elves asked, "Have you found what the Undead Legion gave to Raelus Hades?"

“Yes, divine messenger. These are the three bottles that Lu Ming gave to that guy Raels!” Count Amon took out three miniature glass bottles from his pocket and handed them to the muscular priestess without a second thought.

These three glass bottles were none other than the three miniature glass bottles that Lu Ming had placed on the conference table in the Grand Duke's mansion. One of them contained a new type of plague created from the deep, dark mud!

"(The Hunters) were proposed to be formed by Lord Cinder of the Undead Legion, so it's not surprising that some Undead Legion members have the habit of using any means necessary to achieve their goals. But they dared to create something like this. They're really insane!" The Muscle Priest couldn't help but sigh as he gently shook the glass bottle containing the black mud, watching it tumble and roll inside as if it had come alive.

"Divine messengers, when will you launch your attack? I can't stand that damned brat Rael anymore." Seeing the elves all focused on the black mud in the glass bottle, Count Phoenix Amon couldn't help but ask.

"Six months from now. After all, the Dark Elves always think we're gathering troops to deal with them, so we can't send troops without proper negotiations." The Muscle Priest smiled slightly and said to Count Phoenix Amon.

After saying that, she and the other elves stood up and walked into a teleportation magic circle.

"Count Aemon, once the Empire conquers Miracaissa, Erebus will be yours! Stay tuned!"

After watching the elves being teleported away with the three bottles, Phoenix Amon left the room and said to Lothric, who was standing at the door, "The plan went very smoothly, but is it really okay for us to mess with the Grand Duke with Viscount Lu Ming?"

"The Grand Duke is still young, and he cannot truly control this duchy. Therefore, we counts and viscounts must do our utmost, or he will lose our land."

"You and he both have your own ideas, but why drag me into it?"

"Heh! Whether the Grand Duke's future heir will be the wife and children of the Aimon family or the Ozmoz family depends on now. Let's not see a situation where one family dominates!"

Chapter Fifteen - The Elven Plague

A month after visiting the (hunter) camp, just as Rael was thinking about how to get revenge on Lu Ming, the liar, since it was the last day of the deadline and Lu Ming still hadn't handed him the promised weapon, a messenger from the capital arrived in Erebus, bringing good news.

"Grand Duke Raelus Hadist, the nobles of the capital have sent me to inform you that the threat from the Aifa Empire has been temporarily averted."

"What!? What's going on!!" Rael was shocked upon hearing the messenger's words.

The timing of this news is too coincidental. How can the crisis be resolved just as the time comes, leaving people powerless to do anything about it?

"I don't know the specifics, but I heard from the nobles in the capital that the hunters have successfully developed a virus. Moreover, this virus is quite peculiar; it only targets the elven army!" the messenger said truthfully.

Upon hearing this, Reil immediately realized that Lu Ming was playing a trick on him. However, he was powerless to do anything about it, as Lu Ming had successfully and temporarily eliminated the threat posed by Aifa. If he were to confront Lu Ming, the nobles of the capital would likely tear him to shreds first!

"Okay, I understand. You can go now."

After glancing at Grand Duke Rael, who was seething with anger but helpless, the messenger added, "There is one more thing."

"what's up?"

After a moment's thought, the messenger took a deep breath and said, "The nobles request that you bestow the title of baron upon the children of Viscount Lu Ming, Viscount Camilles Dagon, and Viscount Haska Mena."

Upon hearing this, Grand Duke Rael immediately frowned, a plan forming in his mind. He asked, "Is it because of the speed of their promotions and their current situation that their children were rewarded?"

"Yes, Your Excellency!"

“This is easy. Someone come here!” Rells smiled slightly and summoned a minor nobleman who looked like a secretary, saying to her, “Draft three baronial appointment letters. One for Tuhart Dagon, one for Emma Monna, and one for one of Viscount Lu Ming’s two children!”

Upon hearing this, the minor nobleman and the messenger were both startled, thinking that the Grand Duke was trying to cause trouble in Lu Ming's household!

However, since Rael was a Grand Duke and the minor nobles did not have the same strength as Viscount Lu Ming, they could only let it go.

"Yes, Your Excellency!" After bowing, the minor nobleman hurried off to draft the documents and letter of appointment.

-----------------------------------

At 4:50 p.m., when the letter of appointment and documents were delivered to Viscount Ozmoz's house, Lu Ming, who did not have a house in Agamemnon, went to the (hunter's) camp, so Sham was the first person to see the documents and letter of appointment.

However, when she saw that the name on the letter of appointment and the document was blank, and when she heard from the person who delivered it that it was for one of Lu Ming's two children, she immediately handed it over to Philner to decide without saying a word.

This wasn't meant to deliberately make things difficult for her, but rather to let the two children know that Philner also had the authority to manage them. This authority could even determine their future.

However, Philner, who knew that Kanina and the others would not have any complaints about Sham's decision, was very worried that his decision might cause dissatisfaction among Kanina and Amelia.

Moreover, Philner's mother was also worried that making a decision on her own without discussing it with Lu Ming might have some negative consequences.

But after being persuaded by Sham, Philner finally wrote his name on the documents and the letter of appointment.

Then Sham called over Kanina and Amelia, who had just returned from the Grand Duke's mansion after teaching Shumira and Myra swordsmanship.

"What's wrong, Sham's mother?"

"In the afternoon, the Grand Duke delivered a baronial commission and handover documents without a name on them. He said it was for one of you two," Sham said solemnly.

"Really?!" "Why did they give it to one of us??"

“Because your father’s promotion was too fast, this is the only way. But don’t be too happy, this baronship is just a title and a monthly allowance of ten gold coins,” Sham replied with a slight smile.

She then added, "Since neither document specifies who it is for, I let your Mother Philna make the decision. I hope that whoever doesn't receive the title will not be angry or hold any grudges against Mother Philna, understand?"

"Okay!" "Yes, Mama Sham!"

In an instant, both Kanina and Amelia looked at Philna with expectant expressions, making Philna very nervous.

The two children had noticed the relationship between her and Lu Ming, so they usually didn't bother her. But now that Sham was asking her to decide which of the two children would receive the baronial title, it really made Philner too nervous.

“Um… well, since there’s only one title, I gave it to Amelia…” Philna said nervously, looking away and not daring to look at the two children.

"Ahhh! What is this?!" "Great!! Great!!"

The two children's different reactions made Philner even more nervous.

But then both children hugged her, which immediately put her at ease. At least, the two children didn't complain.
