Reincarnated as a boss tyrant in the game

Of course, the aftereffects of serving Gustav wholeheartedly were also very obvious. Now, he couldn't help but tremble slightly when walking.

Princess Nina also revealed a satisfied smile, gently stroking Princess Wenna's long hair, and said softly, "Yes, sister, our efforts were not in vain. Although the profit margin of this salt sales right is not high, the sales volume is huge. As long as we can manage it well, the annual income will definitely not be much worse than the refined salt business in the Imperial Capital."

Empress Nina smiled contemptuously and slowly opened her mouth: "Empress Maria thinks she is clever, but she is extremely foolish. She originally wanted to pass the buck to our Cloto family, but unexpectedly, the fire has now burned her instead."

The Seventh Prince assassination incident was like a bombshell, instantly causing an uproar in the country. However, unexpectedly, this nationally shocking event ended in a hasty manner.

It turned out that not long after the incident, Prince Soren's injuries had slightly improved, and he secretly went to Amber Palace late at night, begging Empress Dowager Afina to define the matter and decided not to continue the in-depth investigation.

In the brightly lit inner hall of Amber Palace, Prince Soren knelt before Empress Dowager Afina, his eyes firm and sincere. Empress Dowager Afina looked at him, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes.

"My good grandson, are you sure you want to do this?" Empress Dowager Afina asked softly, her voice full of concern and worry, "You almost lost your life because of this."

Prince Soren looked up at the Empress Dowager, a firm light shining in his eyes: "Yes, Grandmother. I have already thought it through. Let's end this matter here. I don't want to cause more disputes and turmoil because of this matter."

Emperor Gustav and Empress Elizabeth next to him also looked at Soren curiously. They had already noticed a trace of something from some clues. It's just that further investigation will inevitably lead to no small royal scandal, but chose to remain silent.

Empress Dowager Afina took a deep breath and slowly nodded: "Since you have already made a decision, then I will respect your choice. However, you must understand that this matter is not that simple, and there may be deeper conspiracies hidden behind it."

Prince Soren smiled slightly, his eyes revealing a worldly peace: "Royal Grandmother, I understand. But sometimes, choosing to let go is also a kind of wisdom. I don't want more people to be hurt because of this."

Emperor Gustav and Empress Elizabeth smiled at each other, feeling gratified by Soren's maturity and wisdom. Empress Dowager Afina also revealed a satisfied smile.

From the moment the Harun family took action against the Vera family, the development of the situation was like a wild horse running loose and difficult to control.

This turmoil not only involved the Vera family, but also dragged the Maria Palace into it. Once the crime is confirmed, both the Vera family and the Maria Palace will face serious accountability.

What's even more troublesome is that the news that the Seventh Prince was assassinated by his own brother spread like wildfire.

Once such a royal scandal spreads, it will cause immeasurable damage to the reputation of the empire.

In the history of the empire, although the crown prince's struggle was fierce, and it was not uncommon for princes of various factions to fight each other, incidents of siblings killing each other were extremely rare.

This sudden assassination incident not only plunged the royal family into an unprecedented crisis of trust, but also caused a huge change in the empire's perception of the royal family.

People began to question the unity and stability of the royal family, and even had deep concerns about the future of the empire.

At this critical moment, the royal family must take swift and decisive action to restore lost trust and re-establish the royal family's prestige.

After obtaining the tacit consent of the Empress Dowager and the Emperor, in order to quickly quell the turmoil caused by this assassination incident, the royal family decided to deal with the assassins as quickly as possible, demonstrating the royal family's thunderous means and determination.

This action was not only to give the public a clear explanation, but also to maintain the stability and dignity of the royal family.

Gustav also knew the impact this incident could have on the internal political landscape.

The Cloto family has just suffered a heavy blow and will need a long time to recover.

If the Vera family is also implicated in the assassination incident at this time, then the power of the court noble faction will be greatly weakened.

This faction has always been a staunch supporter of the royal family, and their weakening will undoubtedly break the existing political balance.

The lord nobles may take this opportunity to slowly squeeze the living space of the court nobles, thereby adversely affecting the imperial power.

In order to avoid this situation, Gustav must handle this incident carefully, both to quell public anger and to maintain the interests of the court noble faction, ensuring the stability of imperial power.

Gustav asked, "Soren, I am very gratified that you can think so much for the royal family. What compensation do you want?"

Soren smiled slightly and said, "Father, I request that you grant me the magic-forbidden land outside the city as my fief."

Emperor Gustav frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Soren, are you really sure you want that magic-forbidden land as your fief? People in the Imperial Capital avoid that place for fear of getting too close."

Soren nodded, his eyes flashing with an extraordinary light: "Father, I really want that place. Although it seems worthless now, I believe that every piece of land has its unique use. Perhaps, I can find a way to revitalize that land."

Empress Dowager Afina couldn't help but interject: "Soren, the magic elements on that land are so chaotic, do you really have a way to change it?"
