Reincarnated as a boss tyrant in the game

This is also the Holy Prague Empire's unchanging tradition. The position of Empress Dowager doesn't necessarily require extraordinary abilities, but one thing is undeniable: she must possess extraordinary martial prowess.

Behind the Emperor, the majestic Empress Dowager is his strongest support and his last, unbreakable line of defense.

"Rise!" Empress Dowager Aifeina, supported by a maid, slowly sat on the main seat at the head of the hall. Her voice was calm yet dignified. She then instructed, "Bring seats for the princes!"

Before long, maids arrived gracefully with exquisite chairs with backrests. Soren and the others sat down in order, their gestures revealing the elegance and composure of imperial offspring. As time passed, other princes and princesses arrived one after another, and the hall gradually became lively, yet still maintained its solemnity and reverence.

A total of thirteen people participated in this assessment, including Corena, whom Soren favored. All participants must be at least twelve years old, which is the Empire's tradition, aimed at selecting young talents with sufficient wisdom and physique.

Once everyone had gathered, the maids respectfully reported to Empress Dowager Aifeina. Only then did the Empress Dowager slowly speak, her voice revealing undeniable majesty: "For this assessment, the Emperor has specially instructed me to come and explain. This assessment is extraordinary. You must all do your best, display your true abilities, and serve the Empire!"

Everyone responded in unison, their voices loud and echoing throughout the hall.

Although the princes and princesses verbally agreed, they couldn't help but have some doubts in their hearts.

Nicholas, as the eldest brother, took the lead to rise and respectfully asked the Empress Dowager for guidance: "Your Majesty, Grandmother, may I ask for your instruction!"

Empress Dowager Aifeina nodded slightly and, after pondering for a moment, began to slowly describe the locust plague in the Northwest. Her words revealed a deep insight into the situation: "Regarding the locust plague in the Northwest, I believe you are all aware. What are your views and countermeasures on this matter?"

Everyone began to discuss and express their opinions. Empress Dowager Aifeina listened quietly, nodding or shaking her head from time to time. Finally, she said in a deep voice: "If we do not provide disaster relief, the nobles in the Northwest will inevitably become dissatisfied. Especially Prince Correll, who, relying on his seniority, had already shown disrespect to the imperial capital during the late Emperor's reign. If we do not provide disaster relief this time, I fear that Prince Correll will definitely rebel."

She paused and continued, "Even if he rebels, the Empire cannot be shaken to its foundations by just one Northwest prince. However, we need to stabilize the dukes and nobles in the other three regions, and then deal with others after the Emperor has quelled Prince Correll's rebellion."

The Empress Dowager's words made everyone fall into deep thought. They understood that this was a contest concerning the future of the Empire and had to be dealt with cautiously.

They also firmly believed that, under the wise leadership of the Empress Dowager, the Empire would overcome its difficulties and usher in a more glorious tomorrow.

Soren's eyes shone, obviously, he still remembered this game plot vividly.

His cheap father, the Emperor, and the Secretary of State, Neumann, although they had anticipated that Prince Correll might rebel, they did not seem to have estimated the scale and impact of the rebellion.

When the six northwestern provinces really fell into rebellion, the shock and panic in the imperial capital can be imagined.

That kind of sudden turmoil made the heart of the entire empire tremble.

Even some timid nobles began to pack their bags, preparing to flee this land that was about to become a battlefield.

The Northwest region is vast and sparsely populated, so it is only divided into six provinces.

Among them, Prince Correll occupies the two most fertile provinces.

Prince Correll may be able to barely maintain the central government's disaster relief policy, but other dukes and nobles may not be able to persist.

Once they can't hold on, they will inevitably choose to rebel. By then, even Prince Correll himself may have to rebel due to the situation.

Soren shook his head slightly, and couldn't help but feel doubt about his cheap father's decision.

He obviously underestimated the decadence of the imperial nobles, and also underestimated the inferiority of human nature.

Perhaps the confidence in the central twelve provinces is the root cause of his failure to fully consider the situation.

Fortunately, at a critical moment, the God of War, Breyer, crushed the vanguard of the Northwest nobles with thunderous force, buying valuable time for the central government.

This victory not only stabilized the battle situation, but also allowed those dukes and nobles who were originally watching to re-evaluate the situation and choose to remain neutral or support the central government.

Even in such a severe situation, very few dukes and nobles firmly supported the central government.

Prince Otriff was one of the best. He stood on the side of the central government without hesitation and contributed his strength to quell the rebellion.

Soren understood in his heart that this assessment was not only an opportunity to show his talents, but also an excellent opportunity to observe and analyze the imperial situation.

He planned to use this opportunity to show the Emperor and Empress Dowager his unique insights on the policy of weakening the vassals, in the hope of attracting their attention.

Of course, all of this needs to be done in a clever way.

Soren decided to reveal the information of weakening the vassals to Gustav through a childish joke.

This can not only achieve his own goals, but also not appear too deliberate.

On the surface, Soren continued to maintain a serious expression and listened carefully to Empress Dowager Aifeina's instructions.

This assessment was of great significance to him, and he had to do his best to win more opportunities for himself.

When Empress Dowager Aifeina got up to leave, the princes and princesses expressed that they would follow her instructions.

Soren also stood up, but he already had his own plans in mind. The next assessment would be a fierce contest.

At this moment, Prince Krass stood up anxiously, obviously worried about the upcoming assessment.

Soren looked at his appearance and couldn't help but laugh in his heart.

This assessment is not only a test for himself, but also a test for others.

When Soren saw this, he couldn't bear to see him so anxious, so he persuaded, "Don't panic, Brother. You just need to face it calmly. If you can't think of a good solution, then focus on governing the locust plague."

Krass's eyes lit up instantly, and he thanked him repeatedly.

Among all the princes and princesses present, Krass is the least threatening. He was born into a famous family, and Rhein Horan, the Empire's last Holy Magic Guide, is his maternal grandfather. As long as Rhein Horan is alive, his position cannot be shaken.
