Reincarnated as a boss tyrant in the game

In the first three years of inheriting the throne, Gustav first married Maria, Soren's adoptive mother. At that time, Maria was just the daughter of a minor noble, but her beauty was widely known, and Gustav had long coveted her. Precisely because of her humble origins, the Empress Dowager repeatedly prevented her from becoming an imperial concubine.

At that time, if the Empress Dowager hadn't intervened, Maria would have been one step away from the Empress's throne.

Subsequently, she bore him three sons: Nicholas, Soren, and Yasso.

Then came Imperial Concubine Nina, who gave birth to two sons within three years, namely Samuel and Williams.

In between, Nina's younger sister, Wenna, also bore Soren's adoptive father an imperial daughter, Yulia.

After that, the other princes and princesses were born to women selected from various talent shows. During his reign, although there weren't three thousand beauties in the harem, there were already over a hundred. Unfortunately, as he grew older, although he was still very enthusiastic about matters between men and women, he rarely had any more offspring.

After all, Gustav is now almost eighty years old.

Also, because of his indulgence in women, the man who was once closest to becoming an eighth-tier Grand Knight Commander spent nearly fifty years before touching the threshold of the Grand Knight Commander.

Gustav is fundamentally a heartless womanizer, and a fickle emperor at that. Of course, he also has a very prominent characteristic, which is that he likes intelligent women.

Such as Imperial Concubine Nina and the now prominent Empress Elizabeth, these two women.

Placing this kind of personality in the court is a different kind of style.

State Minister Neumann is now powerful and influential. His submitted national policies are always approved. He is recognized as Gustav's number one meritorious official after taking office, and in just a few years, he has rapidly restored national strength.

During his tenure, the empire enjoyed favorable weather and the people lived in peace.

However, when unrest arose in the southeastern region, Neumann was immediately executed to appease the ethnic minorities in the southeast, just as his momentum was at its peak.

Years later, War Minister Breyer, known as the God of War, laid the foundation for the future stability of the empire's northern border due to his outstanding military achievements.

However, after Breyer argued with him on the issue of the crown prince, he quickly fell from grace and was eventually thrown into the royal prison.

From Neumann to Breyer, Soren's adoptive father completely adopted a 'kill the donkey after it grinds the mill' attitude, leaving no one in the empire daring to disobey him for a period of time, allowing him to do whatever he wanted.

In this regard, he is not much different from the tyrannical Soren of the main storyline. The only difference is that Gustav has always kept the scope of events under control, and there have been no indiscriminate killings. He is also good at various political performances, and can always find compelling reasons to kill people, which is within the acceptance of the nobles.

At the time of Empress Elizabeth's death, the entire empire had already fallen into turmoil. Nobles in various places seceded and formed alliances to confront the empire.

It can be seen that these two played a vital role in stabilizing the empire when they were alive, like a magic needle that stills the sea.

Gustav is an extreme egoist. When you are useful to him or he likes you, he will grant you whatever you ask for.

But when you have no value to him or he is already tired of you, you should disappear yourself to avoid being killed mercilessly.

Therefore, Soren's goal is very clear, which is to make Gustav see his value as much as possible.

However, wanting to be the crown prince is not enough to simply show talent and value. He also needs a relatively strong force to help him, otherwise, even if he sits on the crown prince's seat, he will be driven down in a few days.

Based on his understanding of the game's plot, his maternal family, the Vera family, is purely more than capable of messing things up than achieving anything.

The Vera family, in the final analysis, lacks foundation and has a short-sighted vision. Apart from making money, they can't do anything of significance. They have made so much money, but they haven't even cultivated a seventh-tier extraordinary person, which is evident.

After all, before Maria became an imperial concubine, she was just an insignificant minor noble. It is already not easy to get to where she is today.

The current Harlan family looks very low-key on the surface and does not have much real power, but there is one place that no one can ignore, and that is connections. The identity of the Vice President of the Royal Academy allows them to have far more energy than expected.

If he can get the support of the Harlan family, Soren is confident that he can integrate these energies within two years and make them one of the top families in the imperial capital in advance.

Of course, this matter cannot be rushed, and it cannot be proposed by Soren. Imperial Concubine Maria must ask Gustav, and then he can follow the trend.

As for the matter of Imperial Concubine Maria's unstable position, Soren thinks it is not worth mentioning.

Thinking about these things, Soren slowly walked through the corridor and came to the outside of the church.

In the Holy Prague Empire, the Radiant Church is the state religion. Regardless of funerals, white or red happy events, priests from the temple must be invited to preside over them. This is especially important in the royal family.

Carefully sneaking into the church, he looked around, then crouched down and returned to the place where he first knelt, kneeling down properly.

"Brother, where did you just go?" As soon as Soren knelt down, a soft voice behind him quietly asked.

Soren didn't need to turn his head to know that it was the Sixth Imperial Daughter, Corena, who was two months younger than Soren.

"It's nothing, I just went to visit Imperial Concubine Maria!" Soren didn't turn his head and whispered, "Sixth Sister, don't be distracted. Just focus on doing your own thing!"

Soren had a very deep impression of Corena.

Before Soren was corrupted, the relationship between the two was not bad.

It was only after Nicholas became the crown prince that Corena left the imperial capital and went to her fief. The opportunities to meet became increasingly rare, so gradually, there was no more contact.

It was only later that this imperial sister did a shocking event that was enough to be recorded in history.

Soren had never disliked this sister, nor did he avoid her like other brothers and sisters.

In the game's plot, this Princess Corena is actually a pitiful person.
