Reincarnated as incubus: I didn't mean to seduce you!

Or perhaps, the concept of unity in duality is in itself an extremely disingenuous explanation.

No matter how true, good, and beautiful something looks, when viewed from another angle, it can always seem a bit ugly and dark.

The same principle applies to those things that seem hideous; perhaps a different perspective can also reveal a glimmer of light.

Often, it's not about right or wrong, but about stance.

And as a Lord, his stance has always been clear—

he wants all those loyal to him, loyal to Lancaster, to stand firmly by his side, right or wrong, and follow him in conquering the stars and the seas.

The "Symbiotic Armor Inheritance System" is just one of his minor improvements; from now on, every Gluttonous Slime that symbiotically bonds with a professional will have a specific number.

This number will represent the identity of the original host of the Symbiotic Armor; even after the host dies in battle, the Gluttonous Slime carrying the number won't immediately seek a new host.

This number will last for 18 years, quietly waiting for the arrival of the original host's offspring, who will unconditionally inherit the chance to bond with their ancestor's Gluttonous Slime—

that is, if they remain citizens of Lancaster!

Such a mechanism of inheriting paternal glory by the offspring can greatly inspire the will to battle of the Rangers.

Although this system of number-based familial inheritance may repeatedly remind one of the sacrifices made in war, causing distraction, dismay, and immense difficulty in getting over the loss of loved ones,

when taking up their forebear's banner, the tragic colors imbued with heroism may instead invigorate generation after generation of Lancaster's citizenry to step onto this blood-filled path and shine with a firm conviction that's all their own.

The only thing Kael could do was to not treat life casually, to not let their sacrifices be in vain, and to fight alongside them until life's end.

Of course, talking about these matters now is pointless; what Lancaster needs most at this moment is manpower, and the two clans are at least more trustworthy than those drifters.

Integrating them into the territory has only benefits in all respects.

As for the problem with Monsters on the wilderness being unrestrained due to their return?

No worries, the Rangers whose strength has increased dramatically will act.

...

In fact, the progress of events was faster than the Chief Maid had imagined.

Three days later, after finishing her work at the Lord Mansion, the Chief Maid stretched leisurely and watched the sun in the sky, subconsciously reaching out to rub her somewhat hot ears.

Suddenly, she heard a whirlwind-like howling from the sky, and Fulan, who was poking at the Gluttonous Slime next to her, got frightened and jumped.

That's when they realized that Kael was the one causing the gust.

She took a breath of relief while the Chief Maid beside her remained very calm, smiling and saying, "Welcome back, young master Kael."

"Lin Hua, good afternoon. And... Fulan, long time no see."

"Even though we've just seen each other a few days ago."

Fulan hid behind the Chief Maid's skirt, peeking out at Kael with caution and couldn't help thinking.

She actually quite liked this handsome big brother, but she really wasn't very good at interacting with others.

"Could it be..."

The Chief Maid Lin Hua's eyes lit up as she said, "Young master Kael, did you come specifically to find us today?"

Kael nodded and said, "The towns have already started to see members of the Snow Wolf Clan and Black Cat Clan return. I've already informed Hassaka about it.

If you're interested, you can now go and see your fellow clansmen."

Lin Hua's face showed almost cheerful expression, and Kael rarely saw such an expression on the face of this rather serious Chief Maid. In the past, Hassaka was almost fearful of Lin Hua.

As the oldest among the maids, it was hard to imagine this Cat Girl showing such an expression, or rather, having restrained herself for so many years, she appeared to Hassaka as a cold-hearted witch.

As time passed, even she herself forgot what she was originally like.

Among those severe maid disciplines, being too frivolous would incur the Chief Maid's "loving guidance"...

Such "loving guidance" was indeed too shameful for these young girls.

"Young master, with them returning like this, could the same situation arise as before?"

Lin Hua asked somewhat worriedly.

"Are you referring to the previous exclusion of the two clans?"

The Chief Maid nodded.

Kael said with a smile, "Do you think it's you who is more likely to be excluded or the Undead who are more likely to be excluded when comparing with them?"

After pondering for a moment, the Chief Maid said, "At first, I was also a bit scared of those Undead; after all, they come from the divine realm, and fanatics who over-worship are scarier than Demons."

"Now, do you think the residents of the territory are still so rejecting of those Undead?"

The Chief Maid shook her head.

She was quite fond of the group of Undead. They were all very diligent, and they spoke pleasantly. Out and about away from Lord Mansion, she would occasionally encounter these people.

They were very gentle with her, and there was even a feeling like that between a pet owner and their pet... that's right, she was the pet owner.

This unusual identity of the Undead and their behaviors created a discordance, truth be told, was...

Quite thrilling!

Black Cat Clan's traits indeed resembled those of cats; restless and curious in nature. Compared to the more cautious Snow Wolf Clan, the Black Cat Clan was obviously more prone to getting into trouble.
