Reincarnated as a boss tyrant in the game

Sauron instantly understood that if Royal Concubine Mariasha became Empress, she would have to reside in the Imperial Palace for a long time. Emerald Palace was different from Mariasha Palace. In the future, it wouldn't be easy for Sauron to sneak in.

Moreover, succeeding to the position of Empress at this time would only push Royal Concubine Mariasha into the limelight, making her the target of public criticism.

The other royal concubines and princesses would inevitably feel jealous and resentful, and the struggles within the court would become even more intense.

At this moment, the surrounding people began to whisper to each other, discussing Empress Elizabeth's illness and the future situation of the court.

Sauron and Royal Concubine Mariasha remained silent, each contemplating countermeasures.

Royal Concubine Nina and Princess Wenna exchanged glances, realizing that this was the best opportunity.

Only Royal Concubine Maria seemed thoughtful, but she shook her head to dismiss the idea.

The position of Empress was not easy to hold. Once Sauron ascended the throne, should the title of Empress Dowager be given to Royal Concubine Mariasha or herself?

In the end, it would only be a thankless task. Did she have to honestly step down in the future?

Therefore, Royal Concubine Maria was the least concerned about this position.

If Nicholas hadn't gone to his fiefdom, it might have been better, but as for summoning him back now, Royal Concubine Maria didn't dare to think about it.

The reason was simple: if he dared to return, he would definitely encounter assassins on the way.

Sauron might not attack him, but that didn't mean the people behind Sauron wouldn't. Even the Vera family didn't want Nicholas to return.

Royal Concubine Maria was well aware of the stakes. She knew that the forces behind Sauron were complex, and those who wanted to maintain Sauron's position would never allow Nicholas to come back and stir things up.

The Vera family was also worried that Nicholas's return would affect their interests and status in the Imperial City.

Just because Sauron had handed over the cement manufacturing technology to the Vera family to be responsible for. In just one week,

the Vera family invested in three cement workshops in the industrial park outside the Imperial City. They were currently in their honeymoon period with Sauron.

Thinking of this, Royal Concubine Maria couldn't help but sigh, feeling a sense of powerlessness.

As for the other two royal concubines, they were thoughtful, considering the ultimate gains and losses.

Royal Concubine Nina was calculating in her heart that if she could help one side successfully prevent Royal Concubine Mariasha from becoming Empress, she might be able to exchange it for huge benefits.

Princess Wenna was thinking about how to use this opportunity to seek more power for her sister.

Beneath this seemingly calm surface, everyone's thoughts were racing, and the undercurrents within the court became even more intense.

Inside Mariasha Palace.

Royal Concubine Mariasha said directly: "Before I break through to the Saint Realm, I absolutely cannot take that position. The affairs alone will drag down my progress in reaching the Saint Realm."

In fact, Sauron was very conflicted. If Empress Elizabeth fell, it would be Gustav's turn in less than five years, and by then, he could justifiably ascend the throne.

But for some reason, he really enjoyed his current life. The main problem was that Emperor Gustav was standing in front, and he only needed to be a sharp knife to remove the empire's long-standing ailments one by one.

Sauron took a deep breath and then said, "Royal Concubine, this matter still needs to be considered carefully. But no matter what, I will find a way to create favorable conditions for you."

Royal Concubine Mariasha nodded, her eyes revealing determination: "Yes, I trust your work, but don't be too hasty, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble."

Sauron responded: "I understand, you can rest assured and cultivate."

The room fell into a brief silence, and both were thinking about how to proceed in the future.

As Sauron approached Royal Concubine Mariasha, Irene came in.

"Your Highness, someone from the Holy Emblem Palace has come to ask you to go over."

Sauron couldn't help but reveal a look of regret and turned to go to the Holy Emblem Palace.

When he came out of the Holy Emblem Palace, it was already dawn. Empress Elizabeth had entrusted Sauron with many things, as if she were giving her last words, making it impossible for Sauron to refuse.

What Empress Elizabeth wanted Sauron to do was very simple: to eradicate the entire Stuart family. Of course, the reason for the eradication had to be legal and compliant, and absolutely no handle should be left for the royal family.

"She's really using me as a knife." Sauron muttered to himself.

The cold morning wind blew, and Sauron's hair fluttered slightly. He frowned, his mind full of thoughts.

The Stuart family had a vast and deeply rooted power in the empire, and it would be no easy task to eradicate them.

He couldn't disobey the Empress's order, and he felt a huge pressure coming towards him.

Sauron walked slowly, the stone slabs under his feet reflecting a cold light in the moonlight. He was thinking about where to start and how to plan so that he could both fulfill the Empress's entrustment and protect the interests of himself and those involved.

Returning to his residence, Sauron kept deducing various possible situations and countermeasures in his mind.

Royal Concubine Mariasha stood on the terrace of the magic tower, watching Sauron leave, her face very ugly.

The changes in the Imperial City were too fast, and she couldn't react in time. It was good for Sauron to leave the Imperial City at this time, and she should also take action to calm down those who had ulterior motives.

Hundreds of miles northwest of the mainland, nearly a hundred pirate ships were passing through the Storm Sea and entering the territory of the mysterious island nation.

"Finally here." Pirate leader Victor let out an excited roar.

He stood at the bow of the ship, the sea breeze blowing his hair wildly, his eyes full of greed and fanaticism.

This time, they had brought more than 20,000 pirates, and they were determined to loot the entire island nation.

These pirates all looked fierce, holding weapons, and couldn't wait to start plundering.

Victor shouted loudly: "Brothers, get ready for a big fight, wealth and women are waiting for us!"

The pirates responded one after another, their cheers deafening.

The ships bumped forward in the waves, getting closer and closer to the coastline of the island nation.

Victor had already begun to imagine mountains of treasure and countless delicacies and wines in his mind.

However, they did not know that this mysterious island nation was not as easy to obtain as they imagined.

The natives on the island were more powerful than they expected.

Captain Jett quietly watched everything, silently opened his notebook, and wrote today's diary.

"Holy Prague Calendar, April 17, 323. We have finally arrived at the island we have dreamed of. Although it is said to be an island, in my opinion, it is already a small continent. Tonight, we will launch our first attack...."
