The wrong transmigrator assigned by the system

However, while this approach stopped the two young masters from bothering him, it also forced Philna to become Lu Ming's "qingren," which was despised by most noblewomen.

Although it only happened once, Philner was labeled as being on Lu Ming's side and had to wear Lu Ming's family crest in addition to his own Fairy Dragon crest to prove the relationship between the two.

Having abandoned the idea of ​​marrying Fernana Ozmoz to strengthen their political capital, the two princes came up with a rather bizarre idea.

Since I can't marry Philner, I can at least be Philner's son-in-law, right?

With this in mind, the two young masters proposed engagements to Lu Ming's two daughters, Kanina and Amelia.

When Lu Ming and Philner, who were hunting in a remote city in Niflheim, learned of this news, they were completely stunned.

Regarding the two young masters' somewhat thoughtless actions, Lu Ming only had three words: "Impossible!!"

Having been rejected once again, the two young masters gave up on choosing the neutral Ozmoz family and Lu family, and instead prepared to win over other noble families and some newly emerging nobles.

Five days after the night of the hunt, the two sons of Grand Duke Hedist officially began their civil war in Muspelheim.

After the war began, the flames of war spread rapidly, soon reaching Niflheim, forcing Lu Ming and the other hunters to rush back to Paris with the survivors they had found, to prevent the war from spreading to them.

What angered nobles including Lu Ming, Fernana, and Nero was that not only were the two princes fighting amongst themselves, but they were also using undead and wandering spirits to aid them. These unkillable wandering spirits frantically plundered the souls of soldiers on the battlefield, causing many priests who had joined the princes' armies to leave, resulting in a sharp increase in the number of soldiers killed in the civil war between the two sides.

The large number of soldiers killed caused Tartarus, which was near Erebus, to have some ideas about Erebus.

Fortunately, due to concerns about the beastification disease caused by blood healing, Tartarus did not launch a major attack during the Erebus civil war.

However, in order to further weaken Erebus's military strength, Tartarus deliberately allowed two counts with differing political views to feign support for the two princes' succession to the throne, making them the new Grand Dukes of Erebus, while giving them even more wandering souls.

On the third day of the civil war, the two princes, who had obtained a large number of Tartarus's wandering souls, fought a great battle in a forest about twenty miles from the city of Paris, resulting in the deaths and injuries of most of the human soldiers.

Knowing that if things continued this way, the wandering spirits would wipe them out without their brothers' army even arriving, the two young masters abandoned a large number of wandering spirits in the forest, further increasing the burden on hunters who had to clear out monsters and wandering spirits after the battle.

Feeling that things couldn't continue like this, the nobles, on the fifth day after the outbreak of the civil war, summoned the other nobles from Paris and Erebus who had not yet joined the two princes' armies. They held a secret meeting in a village between Paris and Agamemnon to discuss the current situation in Erebus.

Wearing a black trench coat and holding a white holy staff topped with a red transparent crystal encasing a blue eye, Lu Ming stood in the viscount's seat, listening to the arguments between some earls and other viscounts, feeling slightly bored.

"The harm that these two young masters are causing to Erebus is far too great! We cannot allow them to continue their rampage!"

"But what should we do? Assassinate them?"

“I don’t think assassination is a good idea. You know, if we really assassinate the son of the former Grand Duke, the newly enthroned Grand Duke will not have a good impression of us either.”

"That's right. If we really assassinate the two young masters and leave a bad impression on the new Grand Duke, we might be secretly disposed of by him. Then we'll have nowhere to turn for help!"

Philner, also wearing a black trench coat, walked over and sat down next to Lu Ming. He glanced at Lu Ming, who was propping himself up with his hand and had his eyes half-open, and asked with a soft laugh, "Are you bored?"

"You're late. The current suggestions are alright. The previous ones were utterly boring." Lu Ming said with a slight smile.

At this moment, a nobleman from Muspelheim stood up and, defying the objections of the crowd, said: "Gentlemen, we are nobles of Erebus, not vassals of the Hadist family. We have a responsibility to make Erebus better, and a responsibility to prevent it from becoming worse."

"The two princes of Hades are now encroaching on our land with war. They are neither the Grand Dukes of this land nor members of the royal family; they are merely heirs! What right do they have to do this?"

"We are also the masters of this land, and our people are suffering because of their selfish interests. If we stand idly by simply because we are afraid that the new Grand Duke will be wary of us, even if the new Grand Duke is not wary of us, he will still look down on us for our inaction!"

"Brothers and sisters, we are nobles, not cowardly thieves and robbers. We should not be afraid of that so-called Grand Duke; we are the rulers of this land! So, brothers and sisters who are willing to agree to assassinate those two bastards who have caused our land and people so much suffering, please raise your hands!"

Hearing the hoarse roar of the old nobleman who looked to be over eighty years old, Lu Ming and the other young nobles raised their hands. Soon, the middle-aged nobles and a large number of the elderly nobles also raised their hands.

Only a small number of nobles did not raise their hands, including Philner.

Many people turned to look at Lu Ming, since Philner was still wearing the Lu Ming family's wolf-biting emblem.

This made Lu Ming and Philner quite embarrassed. There was nothing between them; the incident was merely to prevent the two young masters from bothering Philner anymore. It's worth noting that Lu Ming and Philner were among those who disagreed politically.

Lu Ming is a typical young nobleman, with a strong competitive spirit and sense of responsibility, which sometimes makes him rather impulsive. Philner, on the other hand, is a more conservative nobleman who likes to consider the consequences of everything he does; if there's a 30% chance of something going wrong, he'll give up.

These two types of nobles differ in that the former, while prone to making mistakes, are relatively easy to advance in rank. The latter, on the other hand, are the complete opposite: they are difficult to advance in rank, but less prone to making mistakes.

Out of desperation, Lu Ming had no choice but to take on the task of assassinating one of the two young masters, so as not to provoke dissatisfaction from both the radical and conservative factions. After all, Philner was still wearing the silver wolf-biting sword emblem.

Ultimately, Lu Ming was assigned the mission of assassinating the second young master, while the eldest young master was to be assassinated by a powerful viscount from Muspelheim.

The reason the nobles were sent to handle the matter personally was simply because they didn't trust the assassins. Moreover, Lu Ming and his group had a way to approach the two young masters without having to sneak into the military camp as cautiously as the assassins.

"Perhaps we really aren't a good match."

"What's done is done, we can't separate now."

"Perhaps."

On the sixth day after the outbreak of the civil war, Lu Ming and the Viscount of Muspelheim bid farewell to their families and lovers and headed to the military camps of the two princes. However, Lu Ming was only accompanied by Philner, whose relationship with him was merely an act, so there was no warmth between them like when the Viscount of Muspelheim bid farewell to his wife; instead, it was somewhat awkward.

Riding on horseback, Lu Ming and the viscount arrived at the two young masters' camp on the seventh day of the civil war. Because both sides were at war and in dire need of reinforcements, the two young masters did not doubt Lu Ming and the viscount's defection.

Upon seeing Lu Ming, the second young master smiled and said, "I've long heard of Viscount Lu Ming's strength. With you joining us, I'm sure (the hunters) will also join our army! Then, I, the Grand Duke, can ascend to the throne and become the Grand Duke of Erebus!"

Looking at the arrogant demeanor of the second young master, which was completely different from that of Saldallo, Lu Ming sneered inwardly, but said respectfully on the surface, "Please rest assured, the hunters have been assembled and will arrive tomorrow to assist you in your ascension to the throne."

Upon hearing this, the second young master burst into laughter. He patted Lu Ming on the shoulder and said with a smile, "When I ascend the throne, you will be one of my six earls!"

"Thank you, Your Excellency!" Taking advantage of the fact that there were few people around and the fact that the Second Young Master had come closer on his own, Lu Ming naturally did not stand on ceremony and directly used a Dragon Claw to pull the Second Young Master's heart out of his chest!

"What...?" The poor second young master breathed his last in shock.

Looking at Lu Ming, who was holding the Second Young Master's heart in his hand and dressed in a black trench coat, neither soldiers nor those who had left (the Hunters) to join the Second Young Master's army dared to approach him.

Because at this very moment, on the eve of the hunting night, he is like a powerful hunter waiting to pounce on the prey, waiting for them to rush forward and be easily hunted down by him.

"The eldest son has been killed!! The eldest son has been killed!!" At this moment, news came from the eldest son's camp that shocked the second son's army even more.

Thus ended the civil war with the deaths of the two princes. This civil war was known by the nobles and people of Erebus as the 'Seven-Day Civil War'.

On the afternoon of the same day, nobles led by Nero Catolo, Dahl Cacaro, and Philna Ozmoz placed the youngest son of Grand Duke Hedist on the throne in the city of Paris.

Using this method, Fernán Ozmoz easily became one of the six counts of the duchy, replacing the deceased Count Artus Lecorde. After all, that count had no relatives left except his wife.

Even the heroes who ended the civil war, Lu Ming and the viscount of Muspelheim, received nothing but a twenty-year tax exemption certificate. They could only take their families back to their respective territories to develop their own.

However, because the beastification disease caused by the blood therapy still exists, Lu Ming still has to lead (hunters) on hunts, unlike the one in Muspelheim...

A new volume has begun. (To be continued.)

Chapter Two - The New Grand Duke

One afternoon, three months after the night of the hunt.

Having already hunted down most of the beast-like patients and burned all the wandering souls left over from the Seven Days of Civil War, Lu Ming was summoned back to Agamemnon by the new Grand Duke, Raelus Haddist.

Holding the Amelia Aries Staff and wearing a black trench coat, Lu Ming walked along the street where he had lived for a period of time and soon arrived at the Grand Duke's mansion in the city center.

As soon as Lu Ming stepped into the Grand Duke's mansion, he encountered Philna, who was dressed in noble men's clothing.

Looking up at the newly appointed countess, who was clearly a very beautiful girl but dressed in men's clothing, Lu Ming chuckled and teased, "Are you Philner's older or younger brother?"

Philner ignored Lu Ming's teasing and instead said in a businesslike manner, "The Grand Duke is waiting for you. Please come with me."

After a slight pause, Lu Ming smiled and shook his head, then followed Philner toward the room where Grand Duke Raelus Haddist was.

Their act was just a charade. Now that the person who was harassing Philna is dead, and she's a countess, anyone wanting to bother her would have to think twice. So, she has absolutely no need to have anything to do with Lu Ming anymore. Besides, she's no longer wearing the silver wolf-biting crest. This already shows her intentions.

After walking for a few minutes in the enormous Grand Duke's mansion, Lu Ming was led by Philna to the Grand Duke's room.

"Lord of Odysseus Territory, Viscount Lu Ming of the Sword-Biting Wolf, greets the Grand Duke." After the noble bow, Lu Ming straightened up and looked at the Grand Duke, who was sitting behind the desk and was about the same age as his daughter, Kanina.

Perhaps due to three months of relentless hunting, Lu Ming exuded a strong killing intent, and just one glance from him made Rael feel a chill run down his spine.

"Um, um, Viscount Lu Ming, I'd like to..."

"Please speak, Your Excellency." Seeing the Duke hesitate and unable to speak, Lu Ming knew what was going on. He quickly smiled kindly and reduced his imposing aura slightly.

Even so, the Grand Duke was still somewhat afraid, so he could only chat with Lu Ming about everyday things first, and then talk about serious matters after he got used to the murderous aura emanating from Lu Ming.

"I heard that after Viscount Lu Ming finishes this mission, he plans to disband the hunters and return to his territory?"

“Yes, Your Excellency. After this hunt, the (hunter) organization will have no reason to exist, and disbanding it is necessary.” Lu Ming nodded.

"What will you do after you go back? Marry several fiancées?"

"Although it's not a good omen to say this before the mission is over, it's true. I'm already planning to get married, and one of my family members is already pregnant, so we can't delay any longer."

At this moment, Rells glanced furtively at Philner Ozmoz beside him, then asked expectantly, "Will Count Ozmoz also be going to Odysseus's territory with you?"

Lu Ming couldn't answer this question, since, in other people's eyes, Philna was a woman who got together with him not long after her fiancé died.

No matter how you explain what happened between them, no one will believe that they were just acting.

Just as Lu Ming fell silent, Philner spoke up.

"I'm sorry, Your Highness, but I will not be with Lu..."

But just as she was halfway through her sentence, Lu Ming patted her on the shoulder, stopping her from continuing.

Frowning, she glared at Lu Ming, only to see Lu Ming shake his head slightly, the eye on the holy staff in his hand also looking at a huge storage cabinet behind the Grand Duke. She knew there was really no need to say anything more.

So she quickly changed the subject, saying, "I will not return to Odysseus Territory at the same time as Viscount Lu Ming, but I will return to Odysseus in a few days to complete the wedding."

Seeing the eyes on the Aries Staff in Lu Ming's hand looking around, Rael's brows furrowed slightly, but quickly relaxed.

“Viscount Lu Ming is very powerful and knows a lot about blood healing, wandering souls, and the undead, so I want the viscount to help manage the plans of the royal family and nobles.”

Upon hearing this, Lu Ming immediately sensed a hint of conspiracy.

"Your Excellency, was this your idea, or was it suggested by your advisors?"

“It was my idea for the Grand Duke.” As soon as he finished speaking, a nobleman with a gloomy face entered the room. After bowing slightly to the Grand Duke, the man smiled sinisterly at Lu Ming and said, “I am Lothric of Lothric, one of the current six Earls of Erebus.”

“Lothric…” Narrowing his eyes slightly, Lu Ming looked at the guy who had caused him to transmigrate and snorted coldly, “I hope you can be captured by the Unfire Ember and taken back, Your Highness of Lothric.”

"And what do you know, Your Majesty of Farron Fortress?"

Gazing at the tense standoff between Lothric and Lu Ming, Reyles felt a pang of fear. However, the respectful titles they used for each other made him and Philner, standing beside him, uneasy. "Your Highness Lothric, Your Majesty Lu Ming, what's going on? Aren't these two a bit too high-ranking?"

"If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave now." Lu Ming noticed that Raels and Philner were looking at him strangely, so he pulled Philner away from the room.

As Lu Ming forcibly pulled Philner away, Rells frowned slightly.

“You never said you were a prince.”

“Anyway, I have an older brother, so it doesn’t matter whether I tell him or not,” Count Lothric said with a sinister smile.

Was that man really a king?

"No. He is just a Lord of Cinder, a Lord of Cinder who is with the sun. Unfortunately, Lords of Cinder are just a pitiful bunch. Apart from those who worship fire, no one respects them. Just like you wouldn't respect that cannibal Eldridge."

Rells glanced briefly at Lothric, then said to the assassins hidden behind the lockers, "Follow Philna Ozmoz and see if she and Viscount Lu Ming are really lovers. If not, kill her!"

"Yes, Your Excellency."
