The wrong transmigrator assigned by the system

"But..." Lu Ming still wanted to persuade this person who could be considered a friend.

Unfortunately, Saldallo interrupted him.

"I know what I'm doing."

Then, Saldallo grabbed Lu Ming's hand and pleaded, "I don't care about anything else, but I'm really worried about Philna. If possible, I hope you can marry her and protect her after I die."

"What do you take her for? You should protect her yourself, instead of just handing her over to someone else!" Lu Ming said angrily.

"But I have to do it, otherwise I'll live in misery forever. Please, Lu Ming..."

"..." Lu Ming frowned, looked at Saldallo who was looking at him expectantly, and finally nodded painfully, saying, "I will take good care of her, you can rest assured."

"Remember to marry her. I trust you more than anyone else. After all, we're friends."

"I see......"

"Thank you, my friend..."

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

Watching Lu Ming dance with Philna on the dance floor, remaining silent even when Philna stomped on his feet several times, Nero sighed and said, "Zaldaro, sending Lu Ming to take care of Philna might have given him a mental burden... You've harmed him."

Just as Lu Ming and Philner were dancing, Raelus Haddish also entered the dance floor with his fiancée, whom he had only recently met, and began to dance clumsily.

Compared to Philner, who deliberately stepped on her feet, Reys's dance partner couldn't dance at all.

Grand Duke Rael, whose feet were frequently stepped on, was in so much pain that his veins were bulging, but he couldn't bear it and remained silent.

Just when he was about to lose his temper, he overheard a conversation between Lu Ming and Philner.

"Doesn't it hurt? I stepped on you so many times."

"So what if it hurts? I can't let you lose face, can I?"

"Is it for a man's pride? Or what?"

"Do you have to say it that way? Haven't I been good to you?"

"It's a pity you're not him."

"Him? Ha! He's been dead for over three months, and you hunted him down yourself. Why are you bringing him up now?"

"You wouldn't understand..."

"I don't understand you, just as you wouldn't understand me."

Hearing this, Rael was certain that Lu Ming and Philna had a very bad relationship. Philna felt no gratitude whatsoever for Lu Ming's repeated rescues and help. She only felt exploitation and disgust towards Lu Ming.

Knowing that he had a way to get rid of Philner, a thorn in his side who was always looking for more and more power, Rael's mood improved in that instant. Even when his fiancée accidentally stepped on his foot time and time again, he was no longer angry.

A few minutes later, the dance ended, and those who were tired from dancing, including Lu Ming, returned to the rest area. Only a few nobles prepared to dance a second dance with the newly arrived nobles.

Sitting at the table, Lu Ming began chatting with old Ozmoz's friend, just like a proper son-in-law should. However, Philner's silence made both Lu Ming and old Ozmoz somewhat awkward.

Having witnessed all of this, Reys smiled and said to Count Laquis, "The relationship between Lu Ming and Philner is indeed very bad, and it's even possible that there's nothing between them at all. Go and have someone monitor Philner. Once she officially breaks up with Lu Ming, kill her!"

“Yes, Your Excellency. I’ll take care of it right away.” Laques glanced at Philner, who was standing silently beside Lu Ming, smiled and nodded, then prepared to arrange for assassins to monitor Philner.

However, neither he nor Rael expected that Lu Ming's friend Nero would come over, forcibly hold back Laques, and hand him a letter.

Count Laques, who was blocked halfway, glanced back at Grand Duke Rael with some embarrassment. Seeing that he had no intention of giving up, he gritted his teeth and made a few perfunctory remarks before leaving the Count's mansion with the letter in his hand.

Just as he was about to arrange for the assassin, he subconsciously opened the letter. The contents of the letter completely dispelled his idea of ​​finding the assassin.

The letter contained only one sentence.

"After Phoenix rises, will you still be the Grand Duke's trusted leader?"

Laques is not a very kind person; at the very least, he is someone who would do anything to gain his position.

He knew that Phoenix's prestige among the nobles of Erebus was extremely high. It was simply not something he, a mere Count who had only been a count for ten years, could contend with.

Once Phoenix returns to power due to his successful marriage to the Grand Duke, he will undoubtedly become the Grand Duke's most trusted confidant, while Phoenix, the former leader, will become nothing.

To keep his position, he had to come up with a clever plan. He was willing to do anything, even frame the Grand Duke.

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

Carrying the drunken Philner, Lu Ming and old Ozmoz returned to the mansion.

At this moment, he already knew what Philna's mother meant by "embarrassment."

Who knew that Philner would get drunk after just one glass of wine and start spouting strange nonsense, forcing Lu Ming and Old Ozmoz to leave the banquet early.

Watching Lu Ming carry Philna upstairs step by step, Old Ozmoz had someone prepare some food for Lu Ming, who had been taking care of Philna and hadn't had time to eat, before going back to his room to rest.

After placing the drunk Philna on the bed and helping her take off her coat, Lu Ming went to the bathroom and brought out a basin of warm water to wipe Philna's face and make her feel a little more comfortable.

But then, Philner grabbed Lu Ming's hand, mumbling, "Saldalo, don't go, don't go, don't leave me alone..."

Lu Ming's hand froze there, neither wiping Philner's face nor withdrawing it.

After a long while, when someone knocked on the door, Lu Ming finally reacted, gently freeing himself from Kefirna's hand to open the door.

The person knocking on the door was Philner's mother. Just like in the morning, she personally brought some food for her beloved son-in-law.

"Did Philner cause any trouble at the banquet?"

"No, she's fine."

"You can't drink alcohol but you always like to have a drink, right?"

"Um... I served her the wine; I thought she could drink a little wine..."

"You're always protecting her. You can't do that after you get married."

"She's my wife, how can I not protect her?" Lu Ming smiled slightly, glanced back, and said.

With a helpless smile, Philna's mother handed two portions of food to Lu Ming, saying, "Knowing that you didn't eat anything at the banquet because of Philna, the old man specially asked the servants to prepare this. You eat first, and Philna's portion will be given to her when she wakes up." After saying that, she closed the door for Lu Ming.

Lu Ming placed the tray on the bedside table, stood by the bed, reached out and gently stroked Philner's face, and sighed softly, "Perhaps we were wrong..." (To be continued.)

Chapter 5 - Beast Transformation

Just as Lu Ming woke up from his sleep, he saw the face of the person he had been longing for day and night.

"Sham!" Seeing that the person was real and not a hallucination, Lu Ming immediately got up and hugged her tightly.

"Alright, alright, I'm here." Sham, who was being held tightly by Lu Ming, patted his head and said with a smile.

"Hmm." During the three months of hunting, Lu Ming hadn't been home, so he missed Sham and the others very much.

They hugged each other for a while before separating.

Sitting on the chair by the bed, Sham glanced at Philna, who was fast asleep on the bed, and asked Lu Ming, "This girl isn't having an easy time, is she?"

"Not good at all..."

“I came to Agamemnon because I know she’s no help to you at all. I was afraid she’d cause you trouble, and you have a bad temper.” Sham said with a smile, looking at Lu Ming, whose face turned sour at the mention of Philner.

What's wrong with my temper?

"Alright, alright, don't be angry. Tell me about the trouble you're having, and I'll try to help you figure out a solution." Knowing that Lu Ming had been in a bad mood these past few days, Sham had been trying to comfort him the whole time, so as not to upset him.

After explaining the troubles they were facing, Lu Ming glanced helplessly at Philner, who was about to fall off the bed while turning over. He went over, helped him up, and then returned to continue his discussion with Sham.

“You know what? When you went to help Philna just now, it reminded me of how you used to help Miral back in Odysseus.” Sham smiled, his eyes narrowing, as he watched Lu Ming slowly walk over.

"pity......"

"It's a pity she's not as considerate as Miral, right?"

"..." Lu Ming didn't continue the conversation, but instead changed the subject elsewhere.

"Is Miral still falling out of bed so easily?"

"Don't worry, Lily and Yul Sica are taking care of your pregnant Lily and your restless sleeper Miral respectively, so you don't need to worry."

"I see. I'm relieved then."

Just as Lu Ming and Sham were chatting, Philner's mother suddenly pushed open the door and called out to Lu Ming, "Son-in-law, something has happened to the Grand Duke. He wants you and Philner to go there immediately!"

Then she saw Sham, a woman who seemed very close to Lu Ming, even closer than to Philna.

"you are?"

Sham stood up, gave a slight bow, and then introduced himself: "I am Sham Hatu. I am Lu Ming's fiancée."

Although she knew Lu Ming had several fiancées, Philna's mother still felt somewhat uncomfortable about one suddenly appearing in the house, especially since her daughter was still lying in bed sleeping in...

"Sham, help Philna get dressed. I'm going to wash up first." Because the Grand Duke seemed to be in a hurry, Lu Ming didn't say much. He simply told Sham and went into the bathroom.

Watching Sham quickly help Philna get dressed, Philna's mother couldn't help but wonder if her daughter would always be dominated by Sham, since she knew Philna's character best.

Three minutes later, Lu Ming came out of the bathroom with a basin of warm water. After washing the dazed Philna's face, he forcibly carried her on his back and went downstairs with Sham, who was helping to carry the Aries Staff.

"What is this, Earl of Ozmoz?" The Grand Duke's envoy couldn't help but ask when he saw the neatly dressed Philner fast asleep on Lu Ming's back.

Viscount Ozmoz, standing to the side, turned even darker upon seeing this.

However, Lu Ming and Sham didn't seem to have any particular thoughts on this. Instead, they directly asked the Grand Duke, "Where is the carriage?"

"Oh, it's outside the door. Please hurry, the Grand Duke and Earl Aymon are very anxious!" Upon hearing Lu Ming's question, the envoy realized what was happening and hurriedly replied.

"Dad, Mom, Philna, Sham, and I are going to the Grand Duke's place first. Oh, and there's no news about Hotdog, so let's not go there for now." After giving Philna's parents a few instructions, Lu Ming carried Philna and Sham out the door.

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

Fernana quickly regained consciousness after being jostled around in the carriage.

The first thing she did upon waking was to leave Lu Ming's embrace, which had been holding her to make her feel more comfortable.

This action immediately enraged Sham. She wouldn't let Philna embarrass the Lu family in front of outsiders, so she secretly placed a hand on Philna's back, preventing her from leaving Lu Ming's embrace.

The sharp, piercing energy pressed against her back sent chills down Philna's spine. Only then did she realize that Lu Ming's fiancée, Sham, was also in the carriage, and that she was a powerful swordswoman. This gave Philna a sense of impending danger.

She knew very well that Lu Ming wouldn't force her. But Sham, being from a noble family, showed no mercy. If she did anything even slightly wrong, Sham would force her to change. Just like now, he was directly using his internal energy to force her to change.

A sense of humiliation welled up within her, but Philner was utterly helpless. She could ask Lu Ming for help, and Lu Ming would surely make Sham stop. But wouldn't that achieve Sham's goal in the same way?

Suppressing the humiliation, Philna leaned against Lu Ming's chest until the carriage arrived at Count Phoenix Aimon's mansion, at which point Philna was finally freed.

Unfortunately, with Sham by her side, she didn't dare show even the slightest hostility towards Lu Ming. Behind the wasp's smile lay a deadly stinger. Philner knew this very well.

As soon as he got off the carriage, Lu Ming saw several priests from the Church of Light, which belonged to the (Hunter) organization.

"Your Excellency, there's prey!" Upon seeing Lu Ming's arrival, several priests who were hunters stopped talking to the nobles of the Earl's mansion and went directly to Lu Ming to say this.
