Reincarnated as a boss tyrant in the game

“Running on four legs is no match for running on two, isn't it shameful?” Prince Ilante of the Southern Yue Kingdom curled his lips slightly, his eyes full of mockery. His words seemed casual and teasing, but in reality, they concealed a sharp edge. His deliberately raised voice was particularly jarring in the quiet hall, echoing in everyone's ears, causing many to secretly click their tongues.

Prince Fista of the Eastern Mountain Kingdom also echoed from the side, a meaningful smile playing on his lips. He gently shook his head, his expression seemingly extremely disdainful of the Icefield King and the Desert King's "lateness," his eyes full of ridicule and schadenfreude, as if he had seized some handle and wanted to use this to suppress them in front of everyone.

Icefield King Sonata was already a hot-tempered person. Upon hearing these words, his face immediately darkened. He slammed the table violently, and stood up abruptly. The force shook the teacups on the table, causing them to sway a few times, spilling some tea onto the surface.

He glared at the Southern Yue King and the Eastern Mountain King, and shouted loudly, “Ilante, Fista, what do you mean by these words? Do you think this king is easy to bully and are deliberately trying to cause trouble here! We have come here this time to discuss important matters together, not to listen to your sarcastic remarks!”

Desert King Reina was relatively calm. He frowned slightly, a trace of displeasure flashing in his eyes, but he still reached out and tugged at the corner of Icefield King's robe, lowering his voice to advise, “Sonata, don't be impulsive. It is not appropriate to start a dispute at this time. Don't fall for their trick and ruin the important matter.”

Icefield King snorted coldly. Although he was still fuming, he forcefully suppressed his anger and sat down again. However, his gaze was still like a knife, fiercely directed at the two princes who had made sarcastic remarks, as if he would flare up again at the slightest disagreement.

The Southern Yue King and the Eastern Mountain King saw that the Icefield King was quite angered. They exchanged a glance, and the smiles on their lips deepened, seemingly quite pleased with themselves for having provoked such a reaction.

However, they did not notice that the gazes of the other princes in the hall were either playful as they watched the show, or dissatisfied with their actions that undermined unity. The atmosphere in the reception hall became increasingly tense. An invisible war of words had already quietly unfolded beneath this seemingly calm facade.

At this moment, Prince Olga, who had been sitting in the corner silently observing, coughed lightly and stood up, trying to ease the atmosphere: “Dear princes, everyone has gathered here for the future of the empire, why bother hurting harmony over such trivial matters? Our time is tight, let's get to the main topic as soon as possible.”

Southern Yue King Ilante, however, did not think so. He raised an eyebrow and looked at Prince Olga: “Olga, are you afraid of trouble? They arrived so late with such fanfare, clearly not taking us seriously. If we don't show them some color, how can we work together in the future?”

Eastern Mountain King Fista also chimed in: “That's right, Your Excellency Olga, don't be a peacemaker. This matter must be clarified today.”

Desert King Reina narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a slow and unhurried tone: “Ilante, Fista, Sonata and I encountered some setbacks along the way, and it was not intentional to be late. On the contrary, you two, instead of wasting time here gossiping, you should think about how to deal with the Central Provinces. After all, the purpose of our trip is not internal strife.”

Icefield King Sonata also nodded fiercely: “Prince Reina is right. If we start fighting among ourselves, how can we talk about resisting the Central Provinces? Wouldn't that make them laugh at us?”

Southern Yue King Ilante sneered: “Hmph, encountered setbacks? What setbacks could stop the two of you? Could it be that you saw some treasure on the road and were busy fighting over it, forgetting all about the important matter!”

As soon as these words came out, the entire hall instantly fell silent, and everyone heard the malicious speculation in his words.

Icefield King Sonata slammed the table again and stood up, his face flushed red, the veins on his neck bulging, and roared:

“Ilante, stop spouting nonsense here! I, the Icefield King, act with integrity and would never do such a despicable thing! If you slander me like this again, don't blame me for being impolite!”

Desert King Reina also stood up, his expression stern, and said: “Prince Ilante, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. With the great enemy at hand, we should work together, but you are deliberately provoking trouble here,

what are your intentions?”

Eastern Mountain King Fista fanned the flames from the side: “Oh, are you ashamed and angry because you've been called out on your secret thoughts? With your behavior, how can we trust that you will do your best in the great cause of resisting the Central Provinces?”

Prince Olga of Lobdan Province, seeing this, hurriedly stepped forward to mediate: “Everyone, please calm down. We haven't even clashed with the Central Provinces yet, and we're already in internal chaos. Isn't this making those close to us grieve and those who hate us rejoice? Prince Ilante, Prince Fista, I believe that Prince Sonata and Prince Reina are not such people, and perhaps they really encountered difficulties. Our top priority is to discuss how to deal with the Central Provinces, not to be suspicious and accuse each other here.”

Southern Yue King Ilante crossed his arms and said disdainfully: “Alright, then tell me, what difficulties could they have encountered? Could it be that they were ambushed by the army of the Central Provinces? But I haven't heard anything about it along the way.”

Icefield King Sonata took a deep breath and forcefully suppressed his anger, saying: “We encountered an attack by a mysterious team on the way. They were quite strong, and they seemed to know our whereabouts very well. We spent a lot of effort to repel them, which delayed us a bit.”

Desert King Reina also nodded in agreement: “That's right, those people were all agile and coordinated well, definitely not comparable to ordinary mercenary groups. We suspect that the forces of the Central Provinces may be behind this, trying to sabotage our alliance this time.”

Eastern Mountain King Fista mocked: “That sounds good, who knows if it's an excuse you made up to justify your lateness.”

Prince Olga of Lobdan Province frowned and said: “Prince Fista, without solid evidence, we should not arbitrarily doubt our allies. Now that Prince Sonata and Prince Reina have explained the reason, we might as well put this matter aside and discuss the strategy to resist the Central Provinces together.

However, if there are any more mistakes in the future, don't blame me for being impolite.”

Icefield King Sonata gritted his teeth and said: “Don't worry, I will definitely prove my innocence on the battlefield against the Central Provinces.”

Desert King Reina also said: “We have come here this time to overthrow the rule of the Holy Prague Family. I hope everyone can prioritize the overall situation and not be blinded by trivial matters.”
