Empress Maria-Sasha looked at Soren with disappointment and concern in her eyes.

Soren's behavior might stem from his love for her, but she also knew that this behavior was inappropriate and could even negatively affect his cultivation.

Empress Maria-Sasha looked at Soren's lowered head and panicked expression, and felt a pain in her heart, which softened her tone considerably. She sighed and said to Soren, "Oh, you!"

Her voice carried a hint of helplessness and indulgence.

"In the future, you are not allowed to look at these messy things. They will only lead you astray. If you don't understand something, Mother Consort will personally teach you."

Empress Maria-Sasha's words were full of care and warning, hoping that Soren could understand her good intentions.

Hearing this, Soren immediately breathed a sigh of relief. He raised his head, revealing two small dimples, and smiled sweetly, "Mother Consort, you are the best. I promise I won't make you angry in the future."

His smile was as bright as the sun, full of trust and dependence on Empress Maria-Sasha.

Empress Maria-Sasha looked at Soren's smile and couldn't help but feel dazed. A strong impulse surged in her heart, wanting to pull Soren into her arms and give him an affectionate hug.

Empress Maria-Sasha quickly restrained herself. She had to control her emotions and not let this impulse affect their relationship.

Empress Maria-Sasha said, "Today, Mother Consort is going back to the family to stay for two days to receive guidance from grandfather. During these two days, stay obediently in the palace and wait for me to return. When that time comes, Mother Consort will teach you that thing properly."

Soren nodded happily. He was very much looking forward to Empress Maria-Sasha's special guidance. He promised to be obedient and wait for Mother Consort to return.

This was Soren creating a protagonist's life for Nicholas.

Many protagonists in certain web novels, after transmigrating, redevelop in the desolate borderlands of the empire and eventually become the new king.

He believed that Nicholas would not let him down. He would become a powerful lord, and might even threaten the rule of the royal family.

Soren arrived at Maria's camp and sat face to face with Empress Maria. The two remained silent for a long time, and the atmosphere was a bit awkward.

After a long while, Empress Maria finally spoke, "You came this time, it should be for Nicholas, right!"

Her voice carried a hint of worry, obviously guessing Soren's intention.

Soren nodded generously.

Empress Maria said, "He is, after all, your biological brother. Can't you give him a way out?"

Her voice carried a hint of pleading, obviously hoping that Soren could give Nicholas a way out.

Soren shook his head quickly and said, "Empress Maria, you have misunderstood. I don't intend to harm my brother's life. It's just that he is old and should have been sent out long ago."

Empress Maria's eyes flashed with a complex emotion after hearing this.

"I have already inquired about a place. What do you think?" Empress Maria waved her hand, and Aiki Mili immediately stepped forward and gave Soren the location of the fiefdom that Empress Maria had chosen.

Soren only glanced at it before raising his head and taking a deep look at Empress Maria.

Then he looked down again, and finally closed the document.

He really didn't expect that Empress Maria would be so ruthless, sending Nicholas to the Southeast Reclamation Territory as an Earl. Although there was a city in the fiefdom, given the situation of the Reclamation Territory, Soren estimated that the city's population would hardly exceed ten thousand.

This was to keep Nicholas away from his sight.

Originally wanting to create a protagonist's life for Nicholas, now there was no need. Empress Maria had already helped him solve it.

"When will you send my brother away! I will personally send him off."

Empress Maria smiled, "I can rest assured to see you two brothers reconcile."

Although she said so, she was actually cursing Soren in her heart, saying that he was poisonous and wanted to monitor Nicholas leaving the imperial capital.

Since things had already been decided, Soren didn't need to stay in Maria Palace any longer.

"Mother Consort, if there's nothing else, I'll leave first."

The change from "Empress Maria" at the beginning to "Mother Consort" later represented Soren's attitude.

As long as Empress Maria no longer supported Nicholas, he didn't mind accepting the Vera family.

After all, the Vera family's power in the imperial capital was also quite strong, and Soren would not easily let go of any usable power.

Empress Maria's gaze flickered, and finally she sighed.

"Go and invite Shelby into the palace, and tell him that I have something to say to him."

Empress Maria could be considered to have seen the reality clearly. Unless a Saint-level expert appeared in the Vera family, they would have to honestly stay behind the Harun family. Considering the Vera family's oppression of the Harun family in recent years, if Soren hadn't been mediating, it would be difficult to guarantee that the Harun family wouldn't settle accounts after the autumn harvest.

Seeing Empress Maria soften, Aiki Mili also breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Soren came out of the main hall and swaggered to a side hall, which was where Jessica cultivated.

When Jessica saw Soren's arrival, her eyes lit up immediately, and she ran happily to Soren's side.

"Why are you here?" Jessica asked.

Soren smiled and replied, "To see you."

Jessica rolled her eyes and invited Soren to sit in the nearby pavilion.

As soon as he entered the pavilion, Soren took out the testing crystal pillar from the space ring and then introduced the function of this magic tool to Jessica.

After listening to the introduction, Jessica couldn't wait to reach out and test it.

The result showed that her talent was level seven, attribute wind.

This result made Soren a little regretful, but for Jessica, it was good enough.

"Level seven, not bad," Jessica said with a very open mind, smiling.

Soren smiled and asked, "How is your cultivation progressing?"

When Jessica mentioned cultivation, she couldn't help but get excited. She whispered, "At this rate,

In another two months, I'll be able to break through to the seventh rank."

Soren smiled with satisfaction, but Jessica's next words almost made him lose his composure.

"Are you having some problems? Why haven't you been able to break through the sixth rank?"

Jessica knew the power of the Aurora Breathing Technique and the Strong Magic Potion. With her talent, she could break through the seventh rank in less than half a year with the help of these two, but Soren had been stuck at the peak of the fifth rank, which made her feel very puzzled.
