Reincarnated as a boss tyrant in the game
#383 - family
Before Soren could seek out Princess Wenna, she had already lost her patience and taken the initiative to come to him.
Everything was as Soren had predicted; these videos must have been recorded by someone close to Empress Nina.
To be able to gain Empress Nina's trust so easily, they must naturally be from the Crodo family.
Unlike Empress Nina, Princess Wenna truly came from the Crodo family; she was Jackson's own younger sister.
Her appearance made Soren even more certain of his speculation.
Princess Wenna's expression was complicated as she stared intently at Soren, as if weighing something.
Soren remained unperturbed, quietly waiting for Princess Wenna to speak first.
At this moment, the atmosphere was tense and delicate, a conversation full of schemes and calculations about to unfold.
Soren simply looked at Princess Wenna, his gaze steady and deep, without saying a word.
The atmosphere in the room seemed to freeze, heavy and oppressive. Finally, Princess Wenna couldn't help but break the silence, asking, "You've seen the thing, haven't you?"
Soren nodded slightly, still not uttering a word.
"Initially, our Crodo family didn't know about Empress Nina and Prince Olitfu's wolfish ambitions," Princess Wenna said eagerly.
The corners of Soren's mouth rose higher and higher, secretly amused.
Listening to Princess Wenna's words, Soren couldn't help but want to laugh out loud.
She didn't even call her 'sister' anymore, and even said they had wolfish ambitions.
It seemed that after the Crodo family became a first-class noble family of the empire, they had long wanted to get rid of Empress Nina and Prince Olitfu's control.
Everything she said now was an attempt to justify herself, wanting to sever ties with Empress Nina and Prince Olitfu.
Soren knew that Princess Wenna was only doing this for the benefit of her family, seeking a way out in this turbulent palace struggle.
But he wouldn't easily believe Princess Wenna's words, because in this vortex of power, everyone had their own calculations and purposes.
Soren raised his chin slightly, looking at Princess Wenna with a half-smile, and slowly said, "Oh? Prince Olitfu has wolfish ambitions? Then in this situation, what role is your Crodo family playing?"
As Soren said this, he was also secretly observing Princess Wenna's reaction.
He wanted to see how this woman would defend her family and what kind of promises she would make.
Princess Wenna paused slightly, then quickly said, "We were also kept in the dark. Now that we know their conspiracy, we naturally don't want to collude with them anymore. Your Highness, you must believe our family's sincerity."
Soren sneered inwardly. Sincerity? In this palace full of power struggles, so-called sincerity was often the most unreliable thing.
Their Crodo family was able to rise by relying on Empress Nina and Prince Olitfu, and now they could betray them at any time for the sake of profit.
Soren snorted lightly, "Sincerity? How much is your sincerity worth? If I hadn't accidentally obtained these things, would you have taken the initiative to express your position to me?"
The noble class always acted for profit. Without enough benefits or pressure, they wouldn't easily change their position.
He had to make Princess Wenna understand that he wasn't so easy to fool.
Princess Wenna looked embarrassed, "Your Highness, our family was also forced to do so. Empress Nina and Prince Olitfu have immense power, and we didn't dare to resist before. But now that Your Highness is in charge, we will definitely assist you with all our strength."
Soren thought to himself, the strength of the Crodo family was not to be underestimated. If he could use them for his own purposes, it would indeed add to his strength in this struggle.
But he couldn't completely trust them either; he had to be vigilant at all times.
Soren narrowed his eyes, pondered for a moment, and said, "Alright, I'll see how you perform. If you have any disloyalty, your Crodo family will surely bear my wrath."
Soren understood that now was not the time to completely break with the Crodo family; he needed to use them to fight against Empress Nina and Prince Olitfu.
But at the same time, he had to give them a warning so that they wouldn't dare to betray him easily.
Princess Wenna immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"I think that small palace in the abandoned palace is not bad, Your Highness. Tonight, let's have a good talk together," Soren's words slowly came.
The moment Princess Wenna heard these words, a trace of shock flashed in her eyes, followed by a hint of anger.
She bit her lip tightly, the anger mixed with a bit of shame and helplessness.
She hated Soren's lack of solemnity, hated that he was still thinking about these sordid things at this crucial moment.
But she also knew that she couldn't lose her temper, couldn't refuse Soren's request, because the fate of the Crodo family was now in Soren's hands.
She could only suppress the anger in her heart, try to keep herself calm, and think about how to deal with this situation next.
She decided to arrange things there in advance tonight, so as to prevent Soren from going back on his word in the future.
"Alright, everything will be as Your Highness wishes," Princess Wenna lowered her head slightly, concealing the emotions in her eyes.
Soren's gaze constantly wandered over Princess Wenna's body, and he secretly praised in his heart: "What a beauty!"
Princess Wenna was the youngest of the eight princesses, only twenty-seven years old this year. Her appearance naturally went without saying; her brown hair fell like a waterfall on her shoulders, exuding a charming luster. Her skin was as white as snow, as if it could be broken with a blow.
Her features were delicate and three-dimensional, especially her eyes, like a deep lake, making people involuntarily want to sink into them.
Soren's heart couldn't help but surge with a trace of anticipation, looking forward to the "detailed discussion" with Princess Wenna tomorrow night.
At this moment, Jessica's crisp magical voice transmission suddenly rang out in Soren's bedroom like a silver bell.
"Your Highness, are you there?" The voice carried a hint of urgency and expectation.
The moment Princess Wenna heard these words, her face suddenly changed.
A sense of unease welled up in her heart. Appearing in the prince's bedroom late at night, the consequences would be unimaginable if discovered.
The emperor would not let her go, and Empress Nina could also guess that she and the Crodo family wanted to betray her.
She looked at Soren nervously, waiting for his reaction.
Soren didn't speak, but silently pointed to the window in the other direction, signaling Princess Wenna to leave from there.
