Deposed Crown Prince: After three years of service on the frontier, the entire court knelt and begge

Just then, Xiao Ce said to Lannister Rambo, "General Rambo, you'll be my deputy, no objections?"

Lannister Rambo smiled at Xiao Ce and waved his hand, saying, "Of course I have no objections... What's there to object to? Besides, we all know that we're currently united, but as the Free Federation grows larger, the Navy's power will inevitably grow as well... We'll definitely have to separate eventually..."

Xiao Ce said to Lannister Rambo, "That's true..."

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Lannister Rambo didn't waste any words and said directly to Xiao Ce, "Mr. Ce, it should be Frank who has arrived."

As Xiao Ce spoke, he looked at Lannister Rambo. Before Xiao Ce could speak, Lannister Rambo called out towards the door...

"Is General Frank here?"

The person outside replied to Lannister Rambo, "General Rambo, that's right."

Lannister Rambo addressed the soldier who came to report, "What else is there to ask? Just go and invite them in..."

The soldier nodded: "I invited you in directly, but General Frank is very principled... he said you should come in after you give your permission..."

With that, Lannister Rambo said to the soldier, "Then hurry up and call him over..."

Lannister Rambo then said to Xiao Ce, "Mr. Ce, you see? Frank is a sensible person. I'm not an ungrateful person either. With our combination, there shouldn't be any problems..."

Xiao Ce smiled at Lannister Rambo and said, "That's right, that's indeed the case..."

Lannister Rambo then said to Xiao Ce, "Mr. Ce, so you're not here to see us this time, are you?"

Xiao Ce nodded to Lannister Rambo and said, "That's right, it's not up to you two. I trust the two of you to handle things..."

"I'm leaving this place..."

Lannister Rambo nodded: "Mr. Ce, do we need to offer you any assistance?"

Xiao Ce said to Lannister Rambo, "This is indeed necessary. I need to go to the Roman Empire for the time being, and I'll need your warships to escort me at sea..."

Lannister Rambo readily agreed to Xiao Ce's words, smiling and nodding without hesitation: "Okay, I'll make the arrangements in a bit."

Lannister Rambo simply agreed without asking any questions or arguing, and agreed very readily.

Xiao Ce waved his hand and said, "General Rambo, there's no rush... I have something to ask you..."

After hearing Xiao Ce's words, Lannister Rambo looked at Xiao Ce curiously.

Xiao Ce then said to Lannister Rambo, "The Paul you gave me before said that something had happened in your family and you needed him to go back and assist you temporarily. What happened in your family?"

Lannister Rambo smiled at Xiao Ce and then said, "Mr. Ce, yes... something did happen. If nothing had happened, we wouldn't have bothered you, would we? And we wouldn't have sent Paul back, would we?"

After hearing Lannister Rambo's words, Xiao Ce smiled and nodded, saying, "That's right... So can you tell me what happened to you?"

Lannister Rambo smiled and then said, "Of course... It's nothing really, just some disagreements within our Lannister family..."

As he said this, Lannister Rambo gave an awkward smile.

Xiao Ce said with some surprise, "Lannister Rambo, you're in charge of the navy, and your brother Morgan is in charge of the family's management. Don't you have a firm grip on the Lannister family?"

Lannister Rambo said to Xiao Ce, "Your Highness is right, but as you know, the East Asian naval battles caused us heavy losses. In addition, we also subsidized and compensated for these losses, which actually resulted in significant losses for the entire city of Lingas... Therefore, our main family's stance isn't as assertive; ultimately, the power lies with strength..."

"Therefore, some members of our family are bound to have objections... They've had objections before, but they've always tolerated them... However, now that we're cooperating with Frank, including before when we handed over those warships to Frank, they think we're colluding with pirates, which is an insult to them..."

"They approached Lord Lannister Lothar before, but he rejected them both times... So they started plotting a rebellion, saying we had tarnished the Lannister family and they wanted to defy us..."

"So, we need to deal with them... but we don't want too many people to be implicated, which is why we mobilized the intelligence department for a targeted strike... that's why we called upon Paul's contact..."

Lannister Rambo then said to Xiao Ce, "Mr. Ce, this won't affect you, will it?"

Xiao Ce smiled and waved his hand at Lannister Rambo, saying, "Of course, what influence... He is indeed good, he has indeed helped me. And I don't need him for the time being... So, is there no problem with your family?"

Lannister Rambo raised an eyebrow: "Mr. Ce, actually, I haven't received any news either... However, in this situation, isn't no news the best news...? However, my elder brother is handling things over there, and he might have some concerns, which is why things are progressing slowly. But my elder brother has his own way of handling things, and his abilities are even recognized by the old patriarch..."

Xiao Ce smiled at Lannister Rambo and then said, "That's true. It's just a small family matter, so I'm relieved... If you need any help, you can always ask Boudica..."

Lannister Rambo nodded, and as he spoke, Frank rushed over.

Frank walked in with a big smile on his face, and then gave Xiao Ce a big hug.

"Brother Ce, look, you're here, and I'm already late..."

Xiao Ce waved his hand at Frank and said, "I didn't want to say anything, but Morgana insisted... Actually, it's nothing... Don't let it interfere with your own business..."

Frank laughed and said, "It's nothing serious... I was just training."

Then Frank turned to Lannister Rambo and said, "General Rambo, I hope I didn't interrupt your business..."

Xiao Ce smiled and said, "Nothing important, just chatting..."

Frank smiled after hearing Xiao Ce's words, and then said, "That's good..."

At that moment, Lannister Rambo glanced at the time and said to Xiao Ce and Frank, "General Frank, Mr. Ce, you two brothers should have a good chat. I need to go out and assist with the handover of those warships... I'll take my leave now..."

Frank nodded without saying anything: "Okay..."

Xiao Ce then looked at Lannister Rambo and said, "General Rambo, didn't you just say you were going to arrange an escort for me?"

Lannister Rambo smiled at Xiao Ce, then said, "Mr. Ce, General Frank is here... his arrangements are the same. Or do you want me to come along? If so, I'll handle the handover of those warships sent by the Illuminati patriarchs... I'll go with you..."

Upon hearing Lannister Rambo's words, Xiao Ce chuckled and said, "That's not necessary... Haha, just kidding... Alright, go ahead and get busy. Also, be careful of the warships sent by those Illuminati patriarchs and their ilk; they're prone to playing tricks..."

Lannister Rambo flashed a bright smile at Xiao Ce, then said, "Mr. Ce, don't worry. I've dealt with them so many times, I know them very well..."

Seeing Lannister Rambo's confident demeanor, Xiao Ce smiled and said, "Alright, since you're so sure, I don't need to worry..."

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Lannister Rambo left in a hurry.

According to Lannister Rambo himself, no matter what they do, they need to do what they're supposed to do.

We must prevent them from finding an opportunity to cause trouble.

Lannister Rambo left as he spoke, and it was clear that he was indeed in a hurry.

After Lannister Rambo left.

Frank asked Xiao Ce, "Brother Ce, where are you going this time?"

Xiao Ce then asked Frank, "Why didn't Morgana tell you?"

Frank smiled after hearing Xiao Ce's words, then said, "That's exactly what he said..."

Xiao Ce then told Frank about his trip to the Roman Empire.

Frank nodded.

Xiao Ce then changed the subject, asking Frank directly, "Frank, how are your dealings with Lannister Rambo going...?"

Frank smiled and nodded after hearing Xiao Ce's words, then said to Xiao Ce, "That's great. This Rambo is quite thoughtful, knows his place, and is intelligent... So, our cooperation is going very well..."

Frank then asked Xiao Ce, "What's wrong? Did he say something to you?"

After hearing Frank's words, Xiao Ce smiled, then waved his hand and said, "No... his statement is the same as yours. I asked you because I wanted to know your attitude..."

Frank smiled at Xiao Ce and said, "Same here, I think so too."

“Alright, from what I’ve learned about the Lannister family, they seem to be a family with relatively sound values, and we can get to know them better. No matter what, your family's foundation is relatively weak... so, if possible, try to deepen your relationship with them in the future…”

Frank smiled after hearing Xiao Ce's words and then said, "Brother Ce, I know, don't worry."

As he spoke, Frank looked at Xiao Ce, his expression becoming somewhat complicated.

Xiao Ce then asked Frank, "Brother Frank, what's wrong?"

Frank chuckled after hearing Xiao Ce's words, then said, "Brother Ce, this time, it seems like you're not coming back. You're not thinking of going back to East Asia, are you...?"

After hearing Frank's words, Xiao Ce smiled and said, "That's hard to say... Who can say for sure about this... But after leaving here, it's very likely that I won't be back for a while."

Xiao Ce's idea was actually to visit all ten marked places on the map.

There must be a secret over there, something they might be searching for...

He's already set the stage for this.

It includes Boudica, Morgana, the Lannisters, and the Illuminati.

The Illuminati must have felt that their position was being challenged, and they needed to align themselves with this side.

Therefore, they won't cause trouble...

The more he acts, the stronger he becomes, and the more stable the people following him will be...

Therefore, he had to go.

After hearing Xiao Ce's words, Frank said to him, "Brother Ce, do you really have to go? Actually, with your status, you don't need to take such a risk..."

Xiao Ce gave Frank a wry smile, then said, "Frank, my current situation is like rowing against the current; if I don't move forward, I'll fall behind... I have to leave... only then can all your efforts be in vain..."

Frank smiled after hearing Xiao Ce's words, then said, "Okay... I understand... Okay, Brother Ce, I will definitely protect this family business for you..."

Xiao Ce nodded first, then said to Frank, "This is your family business..."

Frank smiled and nodded after hearing Xiao Ce's words.

Xiao Ce smiled at Frank, then abruptly changed the subject, saying to Frank, "Frank, by the way, there's something else I need to tell you?"

Frank was somewhat surprised by Xiao Ce's words. He nodded and, without further ado, said directly to Xiao Ce, "Brother Ce, just say it. Our brotherly relationship..."

Xiao Ce smiled and nodded, then said to Frank, "Can you believe what I say?"

Frank smiled and nodded at Xiao Ce: "Of course..."

Xiao Ce then said to Frank, "Alright, I'll get straight to the point... your second-in-command..."

Frank interrupted Xiao Ce before he could finish speaking.
