The wrong transmigrator assigned by the system

"It's not necessarily a loss. My wife, Meisina, said that Lu Ming is going to establish a magic academy when he returns to the territory. If he can train some powerful magicians, it won't be a loss for us. Besides, Meisina running off with Viscount Lu Ming was actually a family decision. Otherwise, she wouldn't have had the guts. Moreover, it's also a marriage alliance."

Upon hearing Count Vlad's words, Hemphis Amon was immediately shocked and asked, "Could it be that you traded your daughter for a teaching position at the magic academy?"

“Excellent!” Count Vlad smiled slightly. “I persuaded Sham Hatu and Count Ozmoz to devise a plan that would force Viscount Lu Ming to take Mena as his wife. However, I will also send the best magician in the clan to be his teacher. In this way, Viscount Lu Ming will not only not lose out, but will also gain an innocent fiancée and a magic teacher. Why not?”

"Although it may seem like Viscount Lu Ming has come out on top, you vampires are the real winners. You can bring a large number of hunters under your control, just like the Hatu family, and you can also gain a lot of support from the magic academy. What a brilliant scheme!"

"Thank you for the compliment!"

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

Riding his horse ahead of the two carriages, Lu Ming glanced back at the receding city of Agamemnon. He couldn't help but think, 'Finally, I'm out of there. No more wasting my time and effort only to be mistaken for a villain.'

"Don't you like it there?" Mena, who was also riding a horse and had been brought to Lu Ming's bed by Sham and Philna, came to Lu Ming's side and asked.

"Yes! The people there are too calculating, and I have to spend too much time and energy with them. That's why I don't like it there; I'm tired."

"Is it because of that blame?" Mena asked with a grin.

"It's not a good thing for a girl to be too smart!" Lu Ming said affectionately, reaching out to touch Mena's face.

Lu Ming dotes on his very bold vampire fiancée, because she can't possibly inherit any of the properties in his territory, so this is the only way he can make up for it.

In truth, she knew why Lu Ming doted on her. She was merely a commodity used to extract vast profits, a fact she had long known. She was simply somewhat resentful. Sham had the right to manage his territory, Philner, as an earl, could directly receive a portion of the profits, Lily had the power to control the territory's guards, Yorshka had the authority to manage local priests and build churches, and Miral Sachi even directly owned a magic academy, while she herself had nothing.

This made her somewhat unhappy, but she couldn't show it. After all, everything was arranged by her father with Sham and Philner. They wouldn't give her anything, not even what Lu Ming gave her.

However, she didn't know that Lu Ming wouldn't interfere with Sham and Philna's private dealings with the vampires; she would still get the shop. What the shop would sell, however, would depend on how well she behaved.

After traveling for about a whole day, Lu Ming returned to Odysseus's territory before midnight.

Because of his leg problems, when Lu Ming and the others returned to the town of Calypso in Odysseus, Philner was carried into the newly built lord's mansion by Lu Ming.

Since Lu Ming is now a viscount, the lord's mansion was built to the specifications of a viscount's residence, and it's more than twice the size it was before it was demolished by the centaurs! There are twelve rooms on each floor! Also, the lord's mansion has four floors!

"This place is so big!!" Mena couldn't help but exclaim in amazement as she looked at her future home. Compared to this, Philna's parents' house seemed too small.

“That’s the advantage of having territory! The mansions are bigger than those of ordinary nobles!” Sham smiled and said to Mena and the little ones who had come back with him.

"My room should be the sixth one on the third floor, right?" Philner asked Sham, who was standing next to him, while putting his arm around Lu Ming's neck.

“Yes.” Sham nodded, then said to Mena and the children, “Mena’s room is the eighth one, and the children live on the second floor. However, the ninth, tenth, and eleventh rooms are already occupied, so don’t disturb them.”

"The eighth room?" Mena was taken aback when she heard that her room was the eighth room.

“In divination, the seventh room is related to books, so it’s usually a study or a place where you can have a lesson,” Philna explained to Mena.

At this moment, Lu Ming suddenly said with ill intent, "Just so you know, my room is the eleventh. Don't go to the wrong one when you come over at night."

Mena blushed immediately upon hearing this and lowered her head shyly. To her surprise, she found a small fire fox standing at her feet, looking at her.

"This is Lu'er, one of Lu Ming's three pets."

"A pet? How cute!"

Watching Mena and the children playing with Lu'er, Lu Ming suddenly remembered something and asked Sham with a strange expression, "You just said that three people are already living on the second floor? Does that mean she hasn't left yet?"

"Yes. He hasn't left yet, and he's still learning miracles from Jack and sorcery from Bageton." Knowing who Lu Ming was talking about, Desert scratched his face and looked away as he spoke.

"You allowed it, didn't you?"

"I'm sorry! You'll forgive me, right?" Sham apologized to Lu Ming, unusually acting coquettish.

Seeing this, Lu Ming didn't know what else to say, and could only say, "Yes, yes, I will forgive you."

After chatting for a while, Lu Ming carried Philna, Sham, and Mena to the third floor, while Lisa and Amelia helped Kanina to the second floor. As for the other four disobedient children, they went directly to the study on the second floor to find some books to read.

Although the four of them initially found out that Eldridge was the one from the Deep and Lu Ming wasn't, they were forced to believe it in the face of the evidence. However, the thought of the others being eaten by Eldridge still weighed heavily on their minds.

So the four of them began to learn the magic of the Fran lineage of swordsmanship from Kanina and Amelia, in order to avenge their cousins.

Of course, the four of them were still children, not as old as Lisa. So after they had been in the study for a while, they simply fell asleep.

At that moment, Lu Ming was already lying down next to Lily, holding her, and asked with a smile, "Did you miss me?"

"Of course." Lily nodded with a smile, placing her hand on her already protruding belly, and said with a smile, "Our child misses you too!"

"Is that so? What a good child!" (To be continued.)

Chapter Twenty-Nine - Home and the Prelude to the Wedding

"Sham? Why are you back? Does that mean Lu Ming is back too?" When Miral groggily washed up and came to the restaurant on the first floor to have breakfast, she was surprised to find that the person hosting the meal was not Lily, but Sham.

Before Sham could answer, Miral suddenly pointed to Mena, who was sitting in the shadows, and asked Sham, "And who is this woman?"

"Her name is Mena. Like you, she is Lu Ming's fiancée."

"Eh!! Another one!!"

"What do you mean 'another one'? To Lily and me, you're just another one!"

Seeing that Sham was angry, Miral didn't know what to say. She could only sit in her seat and silently wait for Lu Ming to get up so she could complain to him.

Looking at Miral, who was spoiled by Lu Ming, Sham shook his head helplessly, then looked towards the stairs in the living room. There, Lu Ming was helping the heavily pregnant Lily down, and beside him was another Lily.

"Are they twins or something? Why are they exactly the same?" Mena, who had never met Lily before and had never asked her much about Lily, was immediately astonished by the two Lilies.

"It's a matter of timeline; you might see another version of yourself in the future."

Mena didn't understand Sham's answer, but she knew it was probably similar to Kanina and Amelia's situation, so she didn't ask any more questions.

A few minutes later, after everyone had arrived at the dining room and gotten to know each other, Mena realized that in this house, only Sham, the two Lilies, and Philna were in charge; the other ladies didn't have much power. Just like Yorshka and Miral.

Sham is the family's steward and also helps manage the territory, wielding considerable power. However, the territory's army is firmly controlled by the two Lilies, giving Sham no chance whatsoever. Moreover, Lu Ming seems to be supporting Philna, making him the one in charge of the caravans. In this almost three-way power struggle, those with little power, like herself, Mena, Yul Sica, and Miral, must choose sides to gain some benefits from these three forces.

Yul Sica is on Lily's side, while Miral is on Sham's side. Therefore, Mena knows very well that she must stand with Philna; otherwise, if the other two factions unite, the strongest force will instantly become the weakest!

Having figured all this out, Mena immediately threw herself into Philna's arms, leaving Lily and Sham both looking horrified.

However, none of the three women blamed Mena. At least not yet...

Looking at his two daughters and two adopted daughters, Lu Ming ate his breakfast while pondering the future.

Around the time they finished breakfast, he suddenly said, "Kuya and Maya are both of school age, and Amelia's children also need to learn some things. Which of you do you think is suitable to do this?"

Upon hearing this, Lily, Sham, and Philner all shook their heads in unison, indicating that they did not want to come.

Mena thought about it and realized that these four, even if they weren't extremely busy, still had to manage affairs within the territory, so it was impossible for them to do this task. However, if they weren't going to do it, it meant that the remaining three, along with her eldest and second daughters, would have to be chosen. If this was a good opportunity, she could scheme for a sliver of power. But if she became greedy and incurred the wrath of Philna and Sham, it would be a losing proposition. So, after thinking for a while, she chose to give up.

After Mena chose to give up, Lu Ming couldn't help but glance at her, a hint of disappointment flashing in his eyes.

Mena saw the disappointment in Lu Ming's eyes, but what could she do?

“I think I should do it. After all, the magic academy will be under construction in a year, and I should accumulate some experience.” In the end, Miral took the task, but her unintentional words stung Lu Ming’s heart.

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

After breakfast, Lu Ming went to the seventh room on the third floor, which was his private study.

Yu'er, Sica, and Miral followed them in, partly to spend some time being affectionate with their long-unseen fiancés, and partly to pick up a few books. After all, taking books from Lu Ming's private study without his permission would likely get them scolded by Lily and the others.

In the study, there was a small bed, not too big or too small, intended only for Lu Ming to rest on, but now three people were lying there. Despite the cramped situation, You'er Sika and Miral didn't really want to leave. After all, they hadn't seen Lu Ming for five or six months.

Lying in Lu Ming's arms, You'er Sika and Miral told Lu Ming about the series of events that had happened in the territory over the past six months.

For example, Princess Ella almost killed Jack with her lightning spear when she was learning miracles; Sham envied Lily for getting pregnant first and secretly stuffed a pillow inside his clothes to look in the mirror; and Miraal had already learned the Soul Spear—these were all rather unimportant things. However, there was one thing that Lu Ming considered extremely important: his fiancées all missed him.

He was constantly thinking about them, to the point that he was becoming mentally and physically exhausted.

Just then, the study door was suddenly pushed open, startling You'er, Sika, and Miral, who immediately hid under the covers. Only Lu Ming stared casually at the doorway.

The man patted Miral's bottom and said with a smile, "It's me, don't hide."

Startled by the sudden attack, Miral screamed. Hearing that it was Sham, she poked her head out and saw Sham smiling maliciously at her.

Immediately, Miral, with a long face, got out of the small bed, put on his clothes, and reluctantly left with Sham.

A short while later, Miral's voice could be heard from downstairs calling the children to read.

With a helpless smile, Lu Ming and You'er Sika then spent a long time together, until You'er Sika left with a notebook of Lu Ming's containing some research on miracles, and that was the end of it.

After getting dressed, Lu Ming slowly walked to the window. Looking at the thriving town outside, a warm feeling welled up in his heart.

"This is what home feels like. I don't have to think about those trivial things, it's really great."

With a slight smile, Lu Ming sat down in the chair behind his desk, casually picked up a notebook, and began to plan his wedding and the magic academy he would eventually establish. But for some reason, Lu Ming's hand kept occasionally stroking the crystal amber eyepiece on his neck...

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

Just one month after Lu Ming and his group returned to the territory of Odysseus, Grand Duke Raelus, far away in Agamemnon, received a letter—a letter from the capital.

At this moment, although the New Year had passed, the entire city of Agamemnon was still in the midst of New Year's joy, but this letter instantly drove away Rael's good mood.

"To Grand Duke Raelus Hedist."

I am Count Kosuth Lake of the Imperial Capital. I am writing to you because our spies in the Aifa Empire discovered two monsters that closely resemble the beast form of Viscount Lu Ming you described. Although they were forced to help the Elves exterminate the virus-infected magical beasts, we now have reason to believe that the Elves have received assistance from Viscount Lu Ming's descendants. Therefore, I hope you will handle this matter seriously. Please do not try to deceive us with the excuse that the two monsters were captured by Eldridge's Dark Forces. After all, we do not even know if Eldridge truly exists, and mistakenly trusting outsiders is extremely dangerous!

Kosuth Lake's book.

The letter's content was simple: he was ordered to execute Lu Ming. However, the letter's credibility was highly questionable. It's important to understand that there are now (Hunter) members even in the capital. They couldn't possibly be unaware of Lu Ming's influence within the organization, nor would they issue such an order so casually.

Unless someone feels that the Hunters cannot be controlled by the Church of Light in this way, and attempts to use Lu Ming as a wedge to incite the Hunters' dissatisfaction, thereby accusing the Church of Light of mismanagement and seizing control of the Hunters' organization in one fell swoop.

"At this time, those guys in the capital are still fighting for power. Aren't they afraid that the Darkea Empire will take advantage of our internal strife and launch a full-scale attack? You know, there's no viral plague in Darkea!"

Disappointed with the people of the capital, Rael silently burned the letter.

"I may be a coward, but I'm not someone you can toy with as you please!" Rael said viciously, staring at the letter engulfed in flames.

At that moment, Count Lothric and Count Vlad entered the room together. Seeing what Rells was burning, they knew that those fools in the capital were up to something stupid again.

However, the two of them exchanged a glance and chose to protect themselves, without asking Rael.

"Your Excellency!" After Rells had completely burned the letter, Count Vlad stepped forward and handed an invitation to His Excellency Rells, saying, "This is an invitation from Viscount Lu Ming. He is getting married on the 6th of next month."

"Given his personality, I thought I wouldn't receive an invitation. Was it Sham Hatu who did this?"

“Yes, Your Grace! It was indeed the one from the Hatu family who was responsible for delivering the invitations,” Count Vlad nodded.

Upon hearing this, Grand Duke Rael couldn't help but laugh. He thought to himself, "So Lu Ming really didn't want to invite me!"

Then he said to Grand Duke Vlad, "Isn't your Mena going to marry him too?"

Grand Duke Vlad nodded and said, "Yes. However, the boy recently did something foolish that embarrassed me."

Upon hearing this, Rael and Lothric immediately became interested.

"What kind of stupid thing?"
