Reincarnated as a boss tyrant in the game
#581 - Attack the Holy Stage
The next day, early in the morning, Soren groggily woke up in Emily's boudoir, the lingering traces of the previous night still present.
He was just about to sneak away, to avoid unnecessary trouble and gossip.
But as soon as he was about to put on his pants, the door to Emily's room was suddenly thrown open, followed by the cheerful footsteps of Little Mina, accompanied by a crisp cry: "Mama!"
Soren panicked instantly, and in his confusion, he jumped directly into the curtains behind the window next to him, not daring to breathe, his heart pounding as if it were about to leap out of his throat.
Hiding behind the curtains, his body pressed tightly against the wall, he peered nervously through the gap in the curtains.
He secretly prayed in his heart that Little Mina wouldn't discover him.
Emily also hurriedly got up, a trace of almost imperceptible panic flashing across her face, but she quickly calmed down. She tidied her somewhat disheveled hair and opened her arms with a smile to welcome the rushing Little Mina: "Baby, why are you here so early?"
Soren secretly lamented behind the curtains, thinking that his luck was terrible today.
He carefully adjusted his posture, afraid of making any noise that would attract Little Mina's attention.
Time seemed to become incredibly long at this moment, every second felt like torture.
Little Mina chattered in Emily's arms, telling her about her dream, while Emily patiently listened, thinking about how to send Little Mina away discreetly so that Soren could leave safely.
Suddenly, Little Mina, who was nestled in Emily's arms and talking, inadvertently noticed an anomaly in the position of the curtains. The curtains, which had originally hung neatly, were now slightly bulging and subtly shaking, as if hiding some secret behind them.
The child's curiosity was immediately piqued, and she twisted her body, trying to break free from Emily's embrace to see what was hidden behind the curtains.
Upon seeing this, Emily's heart skipped a beat. Without a word, she hugged Little Mina even tighter and said, a little annoyed, "That's your Royal Brother!"
She tried to dispel Mina's desire to explore with such simple and direct words, but her face flushed slightly because of the somewhat awkward situation.
As soon as she said this, Little Mina's eyes widened, her little face full of surprise, her little mouth also wide open, as if she never expected her Royal Brother to be here.
She paused for a moment, then her gaze shifted back and forth between Emily and the curtains, her little head full of doubts.
Hearing this from behind the curtains, Soren's face immediately fell, knowing that he couldn't hide any longer. He had no choice but to pull up his pants simply, tidy his somewhat disheveled clothes, and slowly walked out from behind the curtains with a depressed expression.
He sighed inwardly, originally intending to leave without anyone noticing, but now Little Mina had caught him red-handed, and he didn't know what the little girl would think.
But to Soren's surprise, when Little Mina saw him appear, a bright smile instantly bloomed on her face.
The original surprise had long been thrown to the winds. She used both her hands and feet, broke free from Emily's embrace in an instant, and ran towards Soren like a cheerful little bird, sweetly calling out, "Royal Brother, you haven't come to see me for so long, I miss you so much."
As she spoke, she plunged into Soren's arms, hugging his waist tightly with both hands, looking up at him with her small face, her eyes full of joy and dependence.
Looking at Little Mina's innocent appearance, Soren's depression dissipated a lot. He affectionately touched Little Mina's head and said with a smile, "It's Royal Brother's fault, I've been too busy these past few days, I'll definitely come to see you often in the future."
Although he said so, he was planning in his heart that he had to be more careful next time, and he couldn't let such an embarrassing situation happen again.
"Little Mina, go wash up first, your Royal Brother and I have serious business to discuss," Emily said stiffly, with a hint of urgency and firmness in her eyes.
Little Mina nodded obediently, without noticing the unusual atmosphere permeating the air, and said crisply, "Royal Brother, let's have breakfast together later!"
Her expectant little appearance made people feel pity.
Soren smiled and nodded in agreement. After Little Mina skipped away, the atmosphere in the room instantly became heavy.
Watching the cheerful departure of Little Mina, Emily took a deep breath, looked directly into Soren's eyes, and said solemnly, "I want to advance to the Saint Realm!"
Emily knew clearly that in the current turbulent situation, strength was the foundation for survival.
Only by stepping into the Saint Realm could she have more say and better protect everything she cherished.
Including Soren in front of her.
And the meaning behind her words was simple: to directly ask Soren to help her prepare the potions and tools needed to advance to the Saint Realm.
After all, Soren now controlled many valuable resources, and the rare potions and powerful tools in his hands
were key aids for Emily to advance to the Saint Realm.
She looked at Soren with anticipation, waiting for his response, confident and certain that Soren would not ignore her request.
Soren frowned slightly and fell into thought.
He naturally understood Emily's determination and knew the difficulty and risk of advancing to the Saint Realm.
On the one hand, although he had abundant resources, each one had its strategic use and needed to be carefully calculated;
on the other hand, how could he bear to refuse the ardent expectation in Emily's eyes.
After a long time, he raised his head, looked at Emily, and slowly said, "Emily, I know the importance of this matter to you, and I will do my best. But the current situation is complex, and the allocation of resources needs to be very cautious. Please give me some time to prepare."
A trace of disappointment flashed in Emily's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by understanding. She nodded gently: "I understand, Soren, the current situation is severe, and I am not an ignorant person. It's just that the Saint Realm is a must-have for me, and I hope you can take more care."
Soren stepped forward, gently took Emily's hand, and gave her a firm look: "Don't worry, Emily, you have given me so much, I will definitely not let you down."
The two held hands tightly, as if at this moment, they had reached a silent understanding.
