Reincarnated as a boss tyrant in the game

Therefore, for Soren, the wisest choice at this stage is to comply with Empress Maria's wishes and maintain a good mother-son relationship.

At the same time, he can use this time to work hard to improve his strength and influence.

The more outstanding Soren appears, the more it will highlight Nicholas' mediocrity and incompetence.

This stark contrast will inevitably force Nicholas to regard Soren as an enemy.

Because Nicholas' self-esteem and status may be severely threatened.

Considering the personalities and behavior styles of the mother and son, they are likely to try every means to attack Soren in order to maintain their position and interests.

Lost in deep thought, Soren unknowingly arrived at the gate of the Maria Yarn Palace.

The guards outside the palace gate were dressed in neat armor, their eyes sharp. As soon as they saw Soren's arrival, they immediately turned to report to the head female attendant, Eileen.

Eileen has always been known for her shrewdness, competence, loyalty, and reliability.

At this moment, she was standing inside the palace gate with a strange woman, waiting for Soren's arrival. The woman was dressed in the attire of a female attendant, but Soren had never seen her before, and a trace of doubt arose in his heart.

Could she have been sent by another royal consort?

But Soren didn't pay too much attention to it. He knew that in the palace, various forces were intricate and complex, and it was normal for newcomers to appear.

Soren smiled and walked towards Eileen, greeting her: "Head Attendant Eileen, how have you been these past few days? I just came back from outside and couldn't wait to visit my mother."

His words were full of longing and respect for Empress Maria Yarn.

Eileen also responded with a smile: "The Empress will be very happy to hear that you're back. She has been thinking about you."

As she spoke, she stepped aside, indicating that Soren could enter the palace.

At this time, the strange female attendant also stepped forward and bowed to Soren: "Greetings, Seventh Prince. I am the newly arrived Head Attendant, Lindsay Walker. With my strength as a sixth-level swordsman, I will do my best to serve the Empress."

Her voice was clear and firm, revealing a kind of imposing temperament.

Soren nodded to show his approval of the new female attendant.

In the palace, strength often represents everything.

Since this Lindsay Walker was able to reach the strength of a sixth-level swordsman, it meant that she did indeed possess extraordinary abilities.

Soren's heart was filled with curiosity, and he felt quite puzzled by Empress Maria Yarn's sudden increase in female attendants and guards, as she had always been low-key and unostentatious.

Empress Maria Yarn has never liked overly extravagant scenes, preferring a simple and practical lifestyle. But the change before him made him feel somewhat surprised.

Eileen saw Soren's doubts and explained with a smile: "Your Highness, you don't know. Since the Empress cleared out the six manors and recovered a large sum of money, she realized the loopholes and shortcomings in the management of the manors. In order to ensure that the operation of the manors is more standardized and efficient, the Empress decided to send people every month to check the accounts and strictly monitor the financial situation of the manors. In this way, the original manpower seemed stretched, so the Empress decided to increase the number of female attendants and guards to cope with daily management and security work."

After listening to Eileen's explanation, Soren suddenly understood that Empress Maria Yarn was strengthening the management and security of the manors to ensure that her rights and interests were not violated.

Such a move not only reflected her shrewdness and competence but also demonstrated her firm control over power.

Soren's admiration for Empress Maria Yarn arose spontaneously. As expected, how could someone who could sit in this position really be a naive and clueless person? It was just that the former Empress Maria Yarn had no children and no desires, so she was too lazy to care about anything.

As Soren's figure slowly walked out of the Maria Yarn Palace gate, behind him, two guards carefully carried a large wooden box, each step seeming exceptionally heavy.

The heaviness emanating from the wooden box made those who had been secretly monitoring couldn't help but open their mouths wide in amazement.

"It seems that Empress Maria Yarn has really gone all out this time," a maid who had been bought by a certain royal consort muttered to herself, her eyes closely following Soren's departing figure. Looking at the large wooden box, she seemed to have already seen the piles of gold coins inside, and couldn't help but murmur: "This is already the second box, right? There must be at least ten thousand gold coins inside!"

The patrolling guards who passed by were also attracted by the heavy wooden box. Looking at Soren and the guards' heavy steps, envy couldn't help but appear in their eyes.

"I'm so envious, Empress Maria Yarn is really rich and generous!" one guard couldn't help but exclaim.

"That's right, this Seventh Prince has only come twice recently, and he has already received 20,000 gold coins in funding! I wonder if I'll ever meet someone willing to sponsor me in this lifetime?" another guard joked, a hint of longing on his face.

"You? Stop dreaming!" the person next to him interrupted him with a laugh, but a trace of envy also flashed in his eyes.

This news quickly spread like wildfire in the court, reaching the ears of the other royal consorts.

After listening to her subordinate's report, Empress Maria's face turned pale and then green. She understood in her heart that Empress Maria Yarn was openly provoking her and slapping her in the face. As a royal consort, she had never given her own son a single penny, while Empress Maria Yarn was so generous, how could she not feel angry and ashamed.

In the depths of this court, the interweaving of power and money made everyone complex and multifaceted. And Empress Maria Yarn's move undoubtedly exacerbated this complexity and chaos.

… … … … … …

Korena's mother, Consort Lucy, was the number one tycoon in the palace, but unfortunately, her eldest daughter Korena was congenitally deficient, and her second son was young, so she could not compete for the position of crown prince for the time being. Otherwise, simply throwing money could砸 out a large group of followers.
