Reincarnated as a boss tyrant in the game

Inside the palace, Soren urgently summoned his ministers to discuss countermeasures.

The atmosphere inside the palace was heavy, and the ministers all looked worried.

"Your Highness, the border kings are coming on strong, and our forces are scattered in various places, making it difficult to organize an effective resistance in a short period of time," Neumann said worriedly.

Soren frowned deeply, well aware of the severity of the situation: "First, mobilize several newly formed legions of the empire from nearby to strengthen the defense of the capital. At the same time, send envoys to the noble territories that have not yet responded to the border kings to win their support," Soren calmly deployed.

"But Your Highness, most of those nobles harbor ulterior motives. Will they really respond to us?" Shelby questioned.

Soren sighed slightly, "We have no choice now but to try our best. Moreover, we must find out the mastermind behind the border kings' uprising as soon as possible, perhaps we can resolve this crisis from the root."

"Your Highness! His Majesty is awake and wants to see you," High Priest Soper suddenly entered the hall and bowed deeply.

Hearing the news brought by High Priest Soper, Soren's heart leaped with joy, and the haze that had been shrouding his mind seemed to be dispelled somewhat by the news.

He immediately stood up and said to the ministers present: "Gentlemen, Father is awake, I'll go over there first." Having said that, he hurried towards the Holy Emblem Palace with Soper.

Gustav trembled slightly, using all his strength to barely open his eyes, his gaze showing a trace of exhaustion and worry, and slowly asked: "Did Rebal escape?"

Although the voice was weak, it seemed particularly clear in the silent room, as if it carried a weight of a thousand pounds,

hitting Soren's heart directly.

Hearing this, Soren felt a pang of guilt in his heart, and his face suddenly felt hot. He slowly lowered his head, not daring to look directly into his father's eyes, and said in a low voice: "I am incompetent."

He knew very well that Rebal's escape would bring greater hidden dangers to the empire, but the situation at the time was really complicated and unpredictable. Even if he tried his best, he could not prevent all this from happening. At this moment, in front of his father, he was full of self-blame and remorse.

"I already know, you can't be blamed for this. Even if the Empress Dowager was reborn, she wouldn't be able to keep that traitor," Gustav shook his head gently, saying weakly.

A trace of determination flashed in his eyes. Although his body was extremely weak, the majesty of the emperor and the hatred for the traitor were not diminished at all. "But Rebal must die. No matter what, you must promise朕."

His tone was unquestionable, as if this was his only obsession at the moment, and Rebal must pay the price, no matter what. Gustav's two most important women in his life, the Empress Dowager and the Empress, both died at his hands. If Rebal was not eliminated, he would not be able to swallow his anger even in death.

"Yes! Father," Soren raised his head, looked at his father with firm eyes, and solemnly promised.

"The empire will be handed over to you next. I will get better as soon as possible. You need to hold on alone during this time," Gustav's voice became weaker and weaker, like a candle flame swaying in the wind, which could be extinguished at any time.

His gaze was full of trust and expectation for Soren. Although he knew that Soren was about to face unprecedented huge challenges, he also believed that his son had enough ability and courage to bear all this.

Soren nodded vigorously, his eyes showing a sense of determination and self-confidence, and said: "Don't worry! Father, I will stabilize the central provinces as soon as possible."

He had already begun to quickly plan countermeasures in his mind. The central provinces were the core area of the empire. Only by stabilizing here first could he have enough foundation and strength to resist the rebellion of the border kings and deal with other possible crises.

Gustav looked at Soren's firm appearance, a satisfied look appeared on his face, he nodded slightly, and said weakly: "I'm tired, you go down first!"

His voice was as light as a breeze. After saying that, he slowly closed his eyes, as if this short conversation had exhausted his last bit of strength.

Seeing this, Soren took another deep look at his father's bed, his eyes full of concern and reluctance, and then he tiptoed, turned around, and walked towards the door of the bedroom.

His steps were very light, for fear of disturbing his father who was resting. He was still thinking about the things his father had just told him and the many difficulties the empire was facing today. His brows were slightly furrowed, and his face was full of solemnity.

Just as Soren was about to walk out of the bedroom door, Gustav's weak but unquestionable voice suddenly sounded behind him: "The people in the harem should be dealt with and dismissed."

These words were like a thunderclap on the ground, causing Soren's body to shake slightly, and his steps stopped unconsciously. Soren instantly understood that his father's words clearly meant that he had already seen through the dirty things hidden in the dark in the harem.

In the past, in the harem, various forces were intertwined, and many concubines secretly schemed against each other, deceived each other, and even did many things that harmed the dignity of the royal family and endangered the stability of the empire in order to gain favor and obtain more benefits.

It's just that perhaps his father was busy dealing with state affairs before, or perhaps he was thinking of old love, and he had never really thoroughly investigated and rectified these chaotic phenomena.

But now, judging from his father's words, it was obvious that he felt it was time to thoroughly clean up.

Soren was clear in his heart that this was indeed a rare opportunity to clean up all the people in the harem who were harboring evil intentions and stirring up trouble in the dark, so that the harem could restore its due purity, and also avoid the recurrence of major disasters caused by harem disputes like Rebal's rebellion.

But at the same time, Soren couldn't help but worry secretly, whether his relationship with Royal Concubine Maryasha and Princess Wenna had already been exposed.
