Reincarnated as a boss tyrant in the game

Soren's swordsmanship talent is indeed high, but after abandoning magic to learn swordsmanship, he is already too old. If he could master the Demon Sword Infinity Blade earlier, or reach the Sword Saint sooner, he could also prepare for the royal martial arts competition three months later.

Anyone with royal blood can participate in this competition. The reward for the victor is not important to Soren. What is important is to leave a good impression on his cheap father, laying the foundation for his upcoming plans. Moreover, this royal martial arts competition will also allow him to meet Sasches, the youngest son of Prince Carter.

In the future, Sasches will inherit Prince Carter's title and become the main general in the rebellion against the tyrant Soren.

"First, try to make contact. If we really can't become friends, then we can only become enemies," Soren thought to himself. "I should at least try my best."

As for his half-brother, he is neither skilled in literature nor martial arts, and his talent can only be described as average. Therefore, he is not favored by his cheap father. Perhaps he can undergo a change through the maze and become his own help in the future.

Soren doesn't need Yasso to be too outstanding, he only needs Yasso to be obedient and loyal.

Soren invited him partly to try and change his fate, and partly to borrow his strength.

The useless and mediocre Yasso, even in death, had a woman commit suicide for him, and that person was the head maid of Royal Concubine Maria.

That woman was already a peak Sword Master at the time of her death, only one step away from entering the Grand Sword Master ranks.

Exploring the underground maze without the protection of experts is not feasible, and trustworthy experts are needed.

And there is no one more trustworthy than a woman who would commit suicide for Yasso.

Soren coaxed and tricked Yasso into returning to his palace.

"Your Highness!"

As soon as he entered, Soren saw a strange maid. The prince's maids and guards were all arranged by Royal Concubine Maria.

Maids and servant girls are different. Maids are commoners or slaves of humble origin. They are fundamentally slaves of the royal family.

Servant girls, on the other hand, come from noble or knightly families. These girls from proper families still have a chance to become the emperor's concubine, while maids have absolutely no chance.

Maids are the lowest existence in the palace, and only princesses and princes are followed by maids.

Generally, the emperor and the princes are mostly surrounded by servant girls. The reason is simple: men are animals that think with their lower bodies, and they must have excellent women around them to vent, so as not to mess with those lowly slaves and lose the royal family's face.

In theory, as a prince, he should at least have a servant girl, but unfortunately, Nicholas is a lustful glutton. Although he is only two years older than Soren, he enjoys the company of women every night and is fickle.

Royal Concubine Maria grants him almost everything he asks for, and almost all the servant girls in her hands have passed through him, even Soren and Yasso's original servant girls were not spared. In the end, she could only transfer two maids over, but these maids were rotated every day, so after so long, there was a problem being able to remember who served him.

Of course, these are not the most important things. Royal Concubine Maria was worried that Soren and Yasso would embarrass her, so the maids she arranged were all old and unattractive, which really made people lose interest.

He just grunted, and then pulled Yasso into his palace.

"Royal Brother!" After inviting Yasso to sit down as a guest, Soren said to him solemnly, "Your brother invited you here because there is something I want to ask you about!"

Yasso said cheerfully, "Royal Brother, since we are brothers, why be so polite about asking for advice?"

"It's like this, I want to practice swordsmanship, but I can't find a good swordsmanship teacher in the palace!" Soren looked into Yasso's eyes and said.

This is just a simple test. If Yasso has already hooked up, then things will be easy. If not, he can only find outside help.

Yasso said without thinking, "That's simple. The head maid, Aichi Mili, by Mother Consort's side is a very powerful Sword Master. I've heard that her swordsmanship ranks among the top three among all the servant girls in the palace."

"Oh!" Soren glanced at him with surprise and asked casually, "Are you familiar with the head maid?"

Yasso hesitated for a moment, then nodded, spread his hands and said, "Yes! I have been studying swordsmanship with Aichi Mili for a long time, and we have a good relationship."

"Haha!" Soren couldn't help but laugh when he saw the flickering look on Yasso's face.

"Yasso, after the national mourning is over in a few days, let's go out for a walk, brothers, and experience the life of adventurers," Soren changed the subject and said, "We don't need too many people."

Yasso's eyes lit up instantly, and he nodded repeatedly.

Because of his background, living a life of timidity and walking on thin ice in the palace for a long time made Yasso extremely eager for the world outside the palace. His biggest dream is to become an adventurer and explore all over the world.

Early the next morning, Soren took a box of Yunmeng Incense that he treasured and went to his mother's palace.

Yunmeng Incense is made from the horns of a magical beast called Yunmeng Deer in the Yunmeng Grassland. It has a calming and focusing effect when lit, and it has unexpected effects on mages' meditation and sword masters' perception.

This is very expensive. Soren spent two years of his allowance to accumulate these Yunmeng Incense.

He originally planned to use it to break through to become a junior mage, but now that he knows his magical talent is ordinary, he naturally won't waste it on that.

Because Royal Concubine Maria is still angry, Soren naturally won't poke his head in at this time. He quietly sneaked into the palace, but had only taken two steps when a cold, gleaming sword was placed against his neck.

"Who is it?"

Hearing a stern female voice, Soren said with a smile, "Long time no see, Head Maid."

Most royal concubines have two head maids accompanying them in their court life. They are important figures in the royal concubine's life. Among them, Aichi Mili is the head maid who came with the family. She has gained the deep trust of Royal Concubine Maria, and the friendship between the two is deep, like relatives.

Aichi Mili's loyalty and thoughtfulness make her an indispensable part of the royal concubine's daily life.

The other head maid is assigned by the royal family. Her arrival is more of a monitoring meaning, so she has not won the favor of Royal Concubine Maria.

Most of the time, she is mainly responsible for the security of the palace, ensuring the safety of the royal concubine. However, precisely because of this, she rarely has the opportunity to appear in front of Royal Concubine Maria, and the interaction between the two is naturally very limited.

These two head maids, although serving the royal concubine, have vastly different status and treatment. Aichi Mili's favor and the other head maid's neglect have become an unspoken secret in Royal Concubine Maria's palace.
