Reincarnated as a boss tyrant in the game

The news of Soren widely recruiting guards from the Adventurers' Academy and the Imperial Secondary Academy spread rapidly throughout the entire imperial capital like a gust of wind.

This unusual move immediately caused a considerable stir within the Royal Academy.

Those students from prestigious families felt deeply dissatisfied and perplexed that the future Crown Prince Soren did not recruit guards from the Royal Academy, but instead chose minor nobles and commoners from the Secondary Academy and the Adventurers' Academy.

This matter not only caused heated discussions among the students, but also reached the ears of Emperor Gustav.

After listening to the report, the Emperor smiled slightly and said calmly, "Let Soren go to the army for some experience! These small-scale guard activities are far from enough for him."

Empress Elizabeth's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise after hearing the Emperor's words, but she quickly regained her composure. As an Empress who deeply understood the rules of the political game, she understood the Emperor's intention, which was to comprehensively cultivate Soren's abilities and prestige as the future Crown Prince.

However, Princess Wenna, who was present, trembled slightly as she held her sweet soup. She knew that allowing Soren to come into contact with military power was not only an affirmation of his personal abilities, but also the beginning of the Emperor's comprehensive cultivation of him as the heir to the throne.

As the news spread, the political atmosphere throughout the palace and the imperial capital began to undergo subtle changes.

In the corridors, libraries, and even training grounds of the Royal Academy, students gathered in small groups, discussing the matter animatedly. Many of them came from famous and powerful families, and had received the best education and training since childhood, in order to serve the empire and be loyal to the royal family one day. But now, they were being so ignored by the future Crown Prince, how could they not feel indignant and confused?

"Why would His Highness Soren choose those commoners and minor nobles?" one student from a prestigious family said indignantly.

"Yes, which of the students at our Royal Academy isn't the elite of the elite?" another student echoed.

This feeling of dissatisfaction and doubt quickly spread throughout the academy. Some students even began to doubt His Highness Soren's decision-making ability, believing that he might have been influenced by some unknown forces. And more people felt let down, feeling that their years of hard work and dedication had become meaningless at this moment.

Lei Ze'er, who was still serving as the vice-principal of the Royal Academy, also noticed the students' dissatisfaction. He knew that if this emotion could not be channeled and resolved in a timely manner, it was likely to have a negative impact on the stability of the academy and even the future of the empire. Therefore, he immediately went to the palace, preparing to communicate with Soren, hoping to find a solution that would satisfy everyone.

Inside the magnificent Matheria Palace, the ornate chandeliers emitted a soft light, reflecting the exquisite murals and furniture within the palace. At this time, Royal Concubine Matheria was chatting with Prince Lei Ze'er, their conversation occasionally revolving around the soon-to-arrive Soren.

With a sound of footsteps, the palace door slowly opened, and Soren walked in. He was wearing a smart military uniform, looking heroic and spirited, with his usual composure and confidence on his face.

Seeing Soren's arrival, Royal Concubine Matheria immediately showed her signature gentle smile. She said softly, "Soren is here, your second uncle has something to talk to you about." Her voice was as warm as a spring breeze, making people feel at ease unconsciously.

Soren also politely greeted Prince Lei Ze'er, his expression as usual, as if he had already anticipated the content of this meeting.

Prince Lei Ze'er looked at Soren in front of him, and couldn't help but secretly admire his composure and magnanimity. He went straight to the point and said, "Soren, I've heard about your recruitment of guards. Why didn't you recruit from the Royal Academy? Now many students in the academy have a lot of opinions about this, and there are even rumors that you don't trust the Royal Academy..."

After listening to Lei Ze'er's words, Soren still maintained a smile on his face. He explained, "Second Uncle, you misunderstood me. The reason why I didn't recruit guards from the Royal Academy is because I think it would be a waste of talent to have the top students of the Royal Academy serve as ordinary guard members. Their future should have a broader space for development. And it's not that I don't plan to recruit students from the Royal Academy, it's just that I've been too busy these past few days and haven't had time to go to the academy for recruitment."

His explanation made Lei Ze'er breathe a sigh of relief, so that he could have an explanation when he went back.

As night fell and the lights came on, a warm and peaceful atmosphere filled Matheria Palace. After Lei Ze'er and Soren finished their sumptuous dinner, Lei Ze'er got up to say goodbye, leaving only Royal Concubine Matheria and Soren in the palace.

The two sat on the soft sofa, chatting about everyday matters, but Soren seemed a little absent-minded, and stopped several times after starting to speak.

Royal Concubine Matheria keenly noticed Soren's strangeness. She knew that her son had a calm personality and rarely showed such hesitation. So, she gave the maid Aileen a look, and Aileen immediately understood, quietly dismissing everyone in the palace.

As the palace door slowly closed, only Royal Concubine Matheria and Soren were left in the palace.

At this time, Soren seemed to have卸下 了 千斤 重担, took a deep breath, and finally mustered the courage to speak: "Mother Concubine, I would like to ask you to help me solve something."

Royal Concubine Matheria nodded gently, still with that gentle smile on her face. She reached out and gently smoothed the hair falling beside Soren's ear, as if to give him comfort and support in this way.

"Okay! You have performed very well these past few days, and Mother Concubine will do her best to help you." Her voice was soft and firm, making Soren feel an unprecedented sense of security.

Soren looked at his mother's loving eyes, and the hesitation and unease in his heart seemed to dissipate a lot in an instant.
