Reincarnated as a boss tyrant in the game

The day before the expedition, the sky was gloomy, and the heavy clouds pressed down, making it hard to breathe, as if foreshadowing the cruelty of the coming war.
Sauron, dressed in plain clothes, headed to the Harun family's residence, accompanied by guards.
Along the way, the people on both sides of the street cast respectful gazes, knowing that this young emperor was about to rush to the battlefield to fight for the empire's peace.
Arriving in front of the Harun family's residence, Sauron took a deep breath to calm his emotions.
During this time, because of that sudden scandal, he and Empress Maria had tacitly avoided seeing each other.
Now that he was about to go on an expedition, with life and death uncertain, he had too many words he wanted to say to her.
Walking into the residence, the familiar courtyard remained the same, only lacking the usual laughter.
Empress Maria slowly walked over, led by a maid. She was wearing a light blue dress, her hair simply tied up, and her face showed a hint of haggardness.
"Your Majesty," Empress Maria slightly bowed, giving a salute. Her voice was soft, but with a hint of undisguised estrangement.
Sauron looked at her, his heart filled with mixed feelings: "Mother Consort, I will be leaving on an expedition tomorrow."
Empress Maria raised her head, a trace of worry flashing in her eyes: "Your Majesty, please be careful in everything on this trip.
May the gods bless you and grant you a triumphant return soon."
The two's eyes met, and for a moment, a thousand words were exchanged in this gaze.
The past sweetness and affection seemed to be covered by a layer of shadow under the impact of that scandal.
In order to avoid suspicion, Empress Maria used the excuse of breaking through to the Holy Rank and closed herself off. As for Sauron, he was busy dealing with court affairs and preparing for the war, and there was gradually a gap between the two.
"You—is there any progress in breaking through to the Holy Rank?" Sauron broke the silence and asked softly.
Empress Maria nodded slightly: "There are already some clues, but it still needs some time.
Sauron looked at her, his heart full of reluctance: "When I return, let's have a good chat."
Empress Maria responded softly, but tears welled up in her eyes.
She knew that war was cruel and life and death were unpredictable. Once he left, she didn't know when they would meet again.
Sauron turned around, preparing to leave. After taking a few steps, he couldn't help but turn his head again, taking a deep look at Empress Maria.
This look was full of love and concern.
Then, he resolutely turned around and strode out of the residence.
The sky outside was still covered with dark clouds.
Sauron jumped on his horse and galloped towards the palace.
Late at night, a suffocating, putrid smell permeated the palace prison. Dim torches flickered on the damp walls, casting eerie shadows.
Princess Wenna, wearing a black cloak, carefully walked through the narrow passage, her footsteps echoing in the silent prison.
She arrived at Princess Nina's cell, cautiously looking around to make sure no one was there, then quickly took out a key from her bosom and opened the cell door.
"Sister!" Princess Wenna whispered, her voice filled with a hint of nervousness and urgency.
Princess Nina was curled up in a corner of the cell. Her once gorgeous clothes were now tattered, and her face was full of haggardness and fatigue.
Hearing the news of Samuel's death, Princess Nina's body shook violently, a trace of pain flashing in her eyes.
She looked dazed and didn't answer Princess Wenna's words for a long time, as if she was still immersed in great grief.
"These are your last followers!" Princess Wenna didn't mind her silence and continued, "I have already gathered them all. I believe they can escort you out of the imperial capital. For the sake of Brother Jackson and Samuel, you must avenge them!"
"Avenge..." Princess Nina murmured to herself, as if awakened by these two words, and slowly regained her spirit. The flames of revenge ignited in her eyes, "That's right, I want revenge!"
Seeing that she had reacted, Princess Wenna was overjoyed and quickly said, "I have received definite news that Sauron, that bitch, will personally lead the expedition. This is our only chance."
Princess Nina slowly stood up. Although her figure was a little shaky, her eyes became extremely firm. She nodded and said, gnashing her teeth, "That's right, this is our last chance! Sauron, I will definitely make you pay for your blood debt!"
Afterwards, Princess Wenna led Princess Nina, carefully avoiding the patrolling guards, and walked towards the exit of the prison.
In the darkness, their figures gradually disappeared, and a new conspiracy was quietly brewing in this silent night.
Princess Wenna stood quietly on the edge of the imperial capital, watching Princess Nina and her few followers' figures gradually disappear into the darkness.
The moonlight shone on her body, casting a long shadow, as if also telling of this complex and secret situation.
After an unknown amount of time, a familiar figure quietly appeared behind her.
"I am a bastard, and also a bitch," the voice was low and carried a hint of self-deprecation. It was Sauron.
Princess Wenna frowned slightly and replied unhappily, "Aren't you? You're even thinking of squeezing out her last remaining value." Her tone carried a hint of dissatisfaction, but also revealed a helpless understanding of Sauron's plan.
Sauron smiled softly, his face carrying a gentle smile: "Thank you for your hard work."
These simple words seemed to carry a kind of magic, slightly reducing the dissatisfaction in Princess Wenna's heart.
Princess Wenna shook her head gently and said firmly: "During this time, I will go to the magic tower of the palace to break through to the Holy Rank." Her eyes revealed a desire for power, and also a determination to get rid of this complex court struggle.
"Good!" Sauron agreed exceptionally readily, which made Princess Wenna a little at a loss.
She originally thought that Sauron would hesitate, after all, the situation was tense now, and there were not many people he could trust by his side.
Sauron seemed to see her doubts, looked at her gently, and said slowly: "These are all what you deserve, and I also hope that you can be with me for a long, long time." His voice was sincere and genuine, causing a warm current to surge in Princess Wenna's heart.
Princess Wenna nodded slightly, a trace of emotion flashing in her eyes.
She looked at Sauron, and the dissatisfaction and doubts in her heart gradually dissipated.
"I will work hard," she said softly, her tone filled with determination.
Sauron nodded and reached out to gently pat her shoulder: "I believe in you. Go ahead, when you successfully break through to the Holy Rank, let's make the empire even more glorious together."
