Reincarnated as a boss tyrant in the game

Arriving at the palace gate, Soper first paused, his eyes like torches scanning the surroundings. After confirming that there were no suspicious individuals, he slightly raised his hand and gently knocked on the palace door.

“Tap, tap, tap,” the knocking sound was exceptionally clear in the silent night, as if sounding the battle drum for a secret power struggle.

Inside the palace, Soren was sitting at his desk, the candlelight flickering and reflecting on his contemplative face.

Hearing the knock, a glimmer of anticipation flashed in his eyes, and he immediately got up and walked steadily towards the palace gate.

The door slowly opened, and a respectful and amiable smile immediately appeared on Soren's face. He bowed slightly, made a "please" gesture, and said in a low voice, "Your Eminence Archbishop, your late-night visit is an honor. Please, come in.” His voice was deep and magnetic, conveying his respect for Soper perfectly.

Soper nodded slightly and stepped into the palace without saying a word.

As the palace gate slowly closed behind him, the atmosphere inside the palace instantly became heavy, as if all the air had been sucked out, leaving only a suffocating tension.

Soren took the lead in breaking the silence, raising his hand to signal Soper to sit on a chair to the side, while ordering someone to serve fragrant tea.

Soper sat down gracefully, gently placing his hands on the armrests, looking directly at Soren, and said, “Your Highness, I apologize for disturbing you so late, but there is a reason.” His voice was deep and mellow, like an ancient bell, echoing in the palace, carrying an undeniable majesty.

Soren also sat down, leaning forward slightly, looking at Soper intently, and replied, “Your Eminence is too polite. Your visit must be for important matters, and I am all ears.”

At this moment, he put away some of the sharpness he usually showed in front of others, revealing a humble and eager-to-learn side.

Soper wore a solemn red robe, the gold thread embroidered on it shimmering in the candlelight, highlighting his lofty status. His face was solemn, but his eyes revealed a hint of shrewdness and urgency. As soon as he sat down, he went straight to the point: “Your Highness, this visit is for the three mazes.”

Soren raised his eyebrows slightly, his face remained calm, but he thought to himself, 'As expected, it's about this matter.' He nodded slightly, signaling Soper to continue.

Soren gently played with the hilt of the Infinity Blade, and replied unhurriedly: “Your Eminence's words are clear to me. At today's banquet, she openly pressured me to demand control of the mazes.”

Soper nodded slightly, a hint of appreciation flashing in his eyes. It seemed that His Highness was not unaware of the situation. He continued, “Your Highness, the reason I came here this time is to discuss countermeasures with you. We cannot stand idly by and watch Alicia succeed, otherwise the Temple will inevitably fall under her control. At that time, once this balance is broken, it will be a disaster for both the royal family and the entire country.”

His words were earnest, his eyes fixed on Soren, hoping to find a glimmer of hope and direction from this prince.

Soren was silent for a moment, then stood up and slowly walked to the window, gazing at the deep night outside. After a long while,

he turned around and said with a solemn expression: “Your Eminence, rest assured, now that I know the stakes, I will not sit idly by. Although Alicia has the support of the younger generation, she is trying to break the Temple's long-standing structure, and the older generation will not easily agree.”

Hearing this, Soper felt a little relieved and stood up and said: “Your Highness is wise. I am willing to fully cooperate with Your Highness and fight Alicia to the end. As long as we work together, we will surely be able to protect the Temple and maintain the balance between the royal family and the Temple.”

He bowed slightly to express his respect to Soren. At this moment, he had already regarded Soren as a key ally in the fight against Alicia.

The corners of Soren's mouth curled up in a faint smile. He took a step forward, held Soper's arm, and said: “Your Eminence is too polite. This is our common responsibility. In the future, we will need to rely on Your Eminence to put in more effort. We must maintain contact at all times. I wonder, what do you think of Class?”

Soper immediately understood that he wanted to support Class to fight against Alicia. He paused slightly, a hint of thought flashed in his eyes, and then he said: “That's right, Prince Class is kind and generous, and he is also very devout in matters of faith. He has been practicing diligently in the Temple of Radiance for many years, and his foundation is very solid. He has a high reputation among the younger generation of clergy. Given time, he will definitely grow into a force to be reckoned with.

He is humble and polite in his daily interactions with others, and is deeply loved by many bishops. If we are willing to support him and provide him with suitable opportunities, we will definitely be able to let him quickly gain a firm foothold in the Temple and become a key force in containing Alicia.”

Soper narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he had already seen Class gradually rising in the Temple and containing Alicia, his words full of expectation.

Soren nodded slightly, a hint of relief in his eyes: “That's right, Class is of royal blood and has the experience of practicing in the Temple. In terms of both emotion and reason, he should do something in the Temple and take on this responsibility for the family and the Temple. The current situation is urgent, and we must seize the time to plan for him and let him show his talent as soon as possible.”

After saying that, he stood with his hands behind his back, looking into the distance, and had already sketched out a blueprint for supporting Class in his heart, waiting to put it into practice step by step.

Soper stood up and said with a solemn expression: “Your Highness, rest assured, I will start arranging things after I go back. First of all, I will intentionally or unintentionally mention Prince Class's cultivation insights and outstanding talents in the daily study and exchange of clergy, so that more people will know his excellence;

Secondly, I will choose some tasks that can both show his strength and not create too many enemies for him and give them to him, such as presiding over small prayer ceremonies and assisting in the management of the Temple Library, so that he can accumulate experience and prestige:

Furthermore, I will gather a few respected elders who do not have much interaction with Alicia's camp to form a support team to carefully guide him from the side, help him avoid the traps that Alicia may set, and grow steadily.”

Soren turned around, looked at Soper with firm eyes, and said: “Thank you, Your Eminence. The road ahead is still long. If we work together, we will surely be able to protect the royal family and the Temple.”

The two smiled at each other.
