Reincarnated as a boss tyrant in the game

Recalling the fierce conflict between the Harun family and the Vera family some time ago, the ministers in the court began to smell an unusual atmosphere.

These old foxes immediately understood that there might be information hidden behind the scenes that other nobles were not yet aware of, and this information might be inextricably linked to the succession to the throne.

Nicholas's low-key behavior not only made the outside world full of curiosity and speculation about his movements, but also made the power structure in the court even more confusing.

The major noble families were secretly observing and pondering, trying to glean clues about the succession to the throne from this series of changes.

One thing is beyond doubt, that is, His Highness Soren's strength is now extraordinary. He not only helped the Harun family restore to its peak.

He also received the firm support of the Pruitt family. And that's not all, the nobles behind the fine salt guild have also flocked to His Highness Soren, forming a force to be reckoned with.

It can be said that His Highness Soren is now dominant in the court, and his influence and strength have reached an unprecedented height.

This change not only made Soren more confident and composed in his dealings with others, but also strengthened the strength of the nobles who followed him to varying degrees.

Watching the rise of His Highness Soren, many nobles who had initially taken a wait-and-see attitude began to secretly regret that they had not joined the team earlier and missed the good opportunity to follow His Highness Soren.

In the dim corner of the hall, Nicholas hid his figure, with only a pair of eyes flashing with anger staring intently at Soren not far away.

His body trembled slightly in the silence, not because of fear, but because the anger in his heart was burning fiercely. He forcefully inserted his fingernails deep into the tender flesh of his palm, only through the pain in his body could he slightly calm the rage in his heart.

Originally, all this glory and status should have been his.

Ever since the Forbidden Land of Magic was granted to Soren as a fief, Nicholas's heart had been filled with jealousy and unwillingness.

That day, Emperor Gustav personally visited Maria Palace and had dinner with Empress Maria, with Nicholas and Yaso in attendance as escorts.

That was the first time in three years that Nicholas had dinner with his father.

After the dinner, Emperor Gustav slowly opened his mouth, "There are some things I don't care about, but that doesn't mean I don't know."

This sentence made the atmosphere of the entire Maria Palace freeze instantly, as if even the air had stopped flowing.

Nicholas's heart also jumped to his throat at this moment, and he felt the emperor's sharp gaze seemed to penetrate his heart.

Gustav continued: "I like Soren very much, he is much better than some useless trash who only knows how to be furiously incompetent."

Although the emperor did not directly name names, everyone present, including Nicholas, clearly knew who the "trash" the emperor was referring to was.

At that moment, Nicholas felt his dignity being trampled underfoot.

He hated, hated Soren for taking everything from him, and hated his own powerlessness even more. However, his father's lesson this time made him understand that anger and jealousy could not take back everything he had lost, only his own strength could.

Because of Gustav's stern warning, Nicholas and Empress Maria had to temporarily restrain their ambitions and anger.

Nicholas knew very well that under the emperor's close surveillance, any rash action could lead to irreversible consequences.

So, he chose silence and waiting, silently accumulating strength, looking for the opportunity to kill Soren with one blow.

This was also the only thing Nicholas could do, because someone in the Vera family had already begun to advise Empress Maria to give up on Nicholas and instead fully support Soren.

If Soren were to get the support of the Vera family, the position of crown prince would be a certainty.

So Nicholas could only honestly lie low, at least stabilize his mother, as long as his mother was still willing to support him, he still had a chance, if he angered his mother again, then he would really be finished.

While Nicholas was immersed in fantasies of how to retaliate against Soren, a knight covered in blood hurriedly trotted into the hall. He knelt down on the ground with a thud, his voice trembling and urgent as he reported: "Your Majesty, Prince Correll has rebelled, gathering an army of 600,000 to besiege Mons Fortress!"

This news was like a bombshell, instantly causing an uproar in the hall.

Nicholas was also shocked, and he realized that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Prince Correll's rebellion not only disrupted the empire's power structure, but also provided them with an opportunity to weaken Soren's power.

A cunning light flashed in Nicholas's eyes, he knew he had to act quickly and use this rebellion to strike at Soren.

Inside the hall, the lord nobles had been maintaining a tense and solemn atmosphere. Suddenly, a lord noble stood up abruptly from his seat, his face full of worry, and took a step forward, his voice urgent: "Your Majesty, Prince Correll's rebellion is no small matter. We must find out what is going on as soon as possible?" His words echoed in the hall, and for a moment, all eyes were focused on the center of the hall.

Neumann was standing there quietly, and when he heard this, his body swayed slightly, and a trace of shock flashed in his eyes. Prince Correll actually launched a rebellion in advance? He suddenly realized that the seriousness of this matter was far beyond his expectations.

His Majesty Gustav, however, appeared unusually calm. His eyes were like torches, looking at the knight covered in blood, and he asked in a deep voice: "What exactly is going on? What is the reason for Prince Correll's rebellion?" His voice revealed calmness and firmness, as if telling everyone that even a prince's rebellion could not shake his rule.

"Urgent report! Three princes in the northeastern provinces have raised troops, uniting an army of 800,000, pressing towards Cartes Fortress."

"Urgent report! Three princes in the southwestern provinces have raised troops, totaling 1 million troops, heading towards Koremi Fortress."
