Reincarnated as a boss tyrant in the game

After learning the exhilarating news of Irene's breakthrough to the Holy Rank, Soron and Empress Maria sat on the soft couch, initially immersed in joy and anticipation for the future. However, they quickly began discussing the many matters that lay ahead.

Soron frowned slightly, lost in thought, and spoke first, "The current situation is grim. While Irene's breakthrough to the Holy Rank is a cause for celebration, we must carefully plan how to maximize her power. I'm thinking we need to arrange a meeting between her and the various ministers as soon as possible, especially Minister of Military Affairs Breyer and Legion Commander Alfonso. They are well-versed in military matters. Letting them know Irene's current strength and range of abilities will allow them to incorporate Irene into suitable deployments when formulating subsequent battle plans."

Empress Maria gently nodded in agreement, "Indeed, Irene's power is not to be underestimated. Strategically positioning her will undoubtedly play a role in turning the tide of battle. However, I'm concerned that she has just broken through and may not yet have a firm grasp on her own power. Should we find a few experienced Holy Rank experts to guide her, allowing her to adapt to the Holy Rank state more quickly?"

A smile crept onto Soron's lips as he looked at Empress Maria and praised, "You're so thoughtful. Let's do as you say. Also, I plan to visit Irene personally tomorrow, both to congratulate her and to discuss the next steps with her in person. After all, she is now a key force in dealing with the crisis, and it's important to hear her own thoughts."

Empress Maria nodded with a smile, "Yes, then I will go with you tomorrow. By the way, on my way back to the palace, I heard that some places among the common people are experiencing some panic due to the tense border situation. Should we take some measures to calm the people's hearts?"

Soron nodded slightly, his expression becoming solemn, "The people's hearts must not be disturbed. I will have Minister of State Neumann handle this matter, informing the public that the court has countermeasures through means such as posting notices and sending officials to explain the situation, so that they don't need to worry too much and can live in peace. At the same time, let the garrisons in various places strengthen their patrols and maintain order, and never allow chaos to breed."

The two of them went over many matters one by one, making preliminary plans for stabilizing the people's hearts and dealing with external threats.

When they had discussed almost everything, Soron gently embraced Empress Maria and said softly, "You've worked hard today. With you by my side, I feel much more at ease. It's getting late, let's rest early."

Empress Maria's cheeks flushed slightly, and she leaned against Soron's chest. The two of them walked together towards the inner chamber, preparing to rest for the night and conserve their energy to face the many challenges ahead.

Outside Maria's palace, Shadow, as usual, silently lurked in the darkness.

He skillfully completed his task. After sighing softly, he carefully erased all traces of the Crown Prince's visit to Maria's palace. His movements were light and swift, as if afraid of disturbing the tranquility of the night.

After doing all this, he moved like a ghost to an extremely hidden corner and sat down, his eyes alertly scanning his surroundings, silently watching the wind for Crown Prince Soron, guarding this unknown peace.

And in Empress Maria's bedroom, the candlelight flickered, casting ambiguous and warm halos on the walls.

Beneath the gauze curtains, Empress Maria's graceful figure swayed slightly with gentle movements. She and Soron were immersed in this rare moment of solitude, and the air was filled with a sweet atmosphere.

"Maria, you are so beautiful!" Soron looked at the beautiful woman in front of him, his eyes full of affection and love, and he couldn't help but whisper his praise.

Empress Maria's cheeks flushed with a moving blush upon hearing this. She gently pinched Soron's face, both scolding and doting, and the atmosphere between the two became even more romantic.

However, at this moment of tenderness and sweetness, a sudden change occurred.

There was a loud "bang" as the bedroom door was blown open by a gust of wind. The wind seemed to carry endless anger, whistling into the room, causing the gauze curtains to flutter violently, and the candlelight flickered almost to the point of being extinguished.

Immediately afterward, an angry roar filled with rage sounded, and the voice seemed particularly harsh in the silent night,

shattering all the beauty.

"Maria, do you know what you're doing?" Hearing this familiar voice, Soron and Empress Maria were immediately shocked.

They never expected to be caught at this time. For a moment, emotions such as panic and fear flooded their hearts.

Alonso strode into the room aggressively, standing in front of the fluttering gauze curtains.

His usually amiable face was now full of anger, his eyes wide open, staring fixedly at the two people in front of him, the disappointment and anger in his eyes almost turning into substance.

"Grandpa!" Maria cried out in horror, her voice trembling slightly.

She subconsciously hid behind Soron, as if only by hiding behind Soron could she gain a sense of security at this moment, but she was also afraid that her grandfather's anger would become even stronger.

Seeing this, Soron's heart was also filled with panic, but he knew that he could not back down at this moment. He quickly hugged Empress Maria tightly behind him, looked at Alonso with a determined expression, and said loudly, "Great-Grandfather, this is all my fault. I seduced Mother Consort. Blame me if you must, but don't blame her."

Although his voice was steady, his slightly clenched fists revealed the tension in his heart. After all, this old man had extremely high prestige in the royal family. Now that he had stumbled upon such an unethical matter, the consequences were unimaginable.
