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

After hearing Xiao Ce's words, Ux nodded.

Their collaboration went very smoothly.

Xiao Ce said to Ux, "Mr. Ux, could you please repeat to us what they invited you to do next?"

After hearing Xiao Ce's words, Ux smiled and said, "Of course, that's no problem..."

After deciding to cooperate, Ux showed exceptional cooperation.

This is what makes a smart person. In fact, communication between smart people is much simpler.

It's much faster.

Just then, Ux said to Sepp, "Sepp, you should go with Mr. Xiao Ce to discuss this matter."

Sepp nodded, then said to Xiao Ce, "Their initial invitation to go to Lingas City is to see our attitude and the situation of each family. Under the Illuminati, there are twelve families. After the fall of Lingas City, the Illuminati were not satisfied with the behavior of the twelve families. So, this time, these people are going there, firstly to give them a warning, and secondly to see the attitude of each family."

"We don't know the specifics yet. After all, they haven't sent any messages."

"However, as far as we know, all your former subordinates, confidants, and those who rebelled with you have been arrested. Because these events happened so suddenly, he may not have punished them yet, but there's no doubt that they will face punishment soon..."

"There's one more thing, and that's that Targaryen Boudica is safe for now..."

Upon hearing what Saipu said, Xiao Ce asked Saipu, "Oh? How are you so sure? Do you have any information?"

Sepp said to Xiao Ce, "No, because the information I received is that they are now searching for Targaryen Boudica all over the British Empire... Although Targaryen Boudica was overthrown in the British Empire before, many opposition groups rose up in rebellion."

"But I heard that Empress Targaryen Boudica was quite clever and escaped immediately. She vanished without a trace... It seems the Illuminati issued an arrest warrant for her... So, she should be safe."

Hearing what Saipu said, Xiao Ce smiled and nodded.

What Sepp said was largely the same as what he had said before, with no major differences.

Of course, there are also some additional details.

Xiao Ce nodded.

Ux said to Xiao Ce, "Mr. Xiao Ce, please join us for dinner. Preparations are almost complete..."

Xiao Ce nodded without saying anything, simply agreeing with a smile.

Ux and his team gave them a warm welcome.

At this moment, Yin Pan'er said to Xiao Ce, "Your Highness, do we have any plans for the future?"

Xiao Ce nodded: "There is definitely a plan... but I may have to break my promise..."

Xiao Ce still had some reservations when he said this.

After all, he had promised Yin Pan'er that they would never separate no matter what happened.

However, with Lingxu's help, he could completely change his appearance and infiltrate Lingas City as a foreigner to investigate.

Although Lingxu has many uses, many of its functions can only be used by himself.

Bringing Yin Pan'er and the others along would be inconvenient and would make it easier to expose their true intentions.

After Xiao Ce said just that one sentence, Yin Pan'er nodded.

"Your Highness, it's alright, you can go by yourself. I'll stay here."

Xiao Ce had expected Yin Pan'er to put up some resistance, but to his utter surprise, she offered absolutely no resistance whatsoever...

She even stated directly that she wanted to stay.

Seeing that Xiao Ce hadn't spoken for a moment, Yin Pan'er asked him, "Your Highness, what's wrong?"

Xiao Ce said to Yin Pan'er, "I'm a little surprised..."

Yin Pan'er said to Xiao Ce, "Although you promised me, times have changed. In the current situation, following you would only be a hindrance. And the restoration of the British Empire to your control will certainly not be so simple."

"Since they're going to reclaim it, then you'll inevitably make the British Empire a major battlefield, and you'll certainly be caught in an extremely protracted war. If that's the case, the position of the Roman Empire will become especially important; it will serve as a bridgehead for East Asia to enter the Western world..."

"Actually, I haven't been of much help to you by following you all this time... On the contrary, if I cooperate with Xiao Yang here, I think I can make full use of my abilities..."

"Now is not the time for sentimentality; we should each play our respective roles..."

Yin Pan'er looked solemn and spoke with reason and evidence.

Seeing Yin Pan'er say this, Xiao Ce smiled and nodded, feeling even more affection for her.

At this moment, Da Lei looked at Xiao Ce with some nervousness.

Xiao Ce said to Da Lei, "Da Lei, what's wrong? Do you want to come along?"

Da Lei shook his head: "Since the Princess has already said so much, I naturally won't follow... Just as the Princess said, we have different things to do. Your Highness, the current situation and the events are completely different... If I follow you now, I can offer you very little protection. Your skills are in no way inferior to mine, and you don't need my protection anymore."

"However, I think I still have my place. Even if I can't be of much use by your side, I can help with training and so on. We both need to do what we can to help..."

After hearing Da Lei's words, Xiao Ce nodded in satisfaction: "Very good... Since you all see things so clearly, it saves me a lot of trouble..."

"However, one of your statements is incorrect..."

Xiao Ce spoke to Da Lei with a serious expression.

After seeing Xiao Ce's serious expression, Da Lei immediately became nervous.

Then he turned to Xiao Ce and said, "Your Highness, what's wrong with what you said?"

Xiao Ce said to Da Lei, "You have always provided me with very effective protection. A large part of the reason I have been able to live safely until now is because of you..."

"So, don't underestimate yourself..."

Hearing Xiao Ce say this, Da Lei felt a warmth in his heart.

Although Da Lei knew that Xiao Ce was saying this to him mainly to comfort him.

The three of them smiled at each other and said nothing.

Ux's subsequent banquet only invited his sons and core members.

In a banquet hall that wasn't very large.

Ux first announced his highest orders, which surprised Xiao Ce.

The Aurelius family was exceptionally united; they all nodded in agreement.

And he cast a respectful glance at Xiao Ce.

Ux gave them another list and told them to prepare. Then they secretly prepared to head to East Asia.

Ux told the people on the list that they should travel light.

Just bring people with you. After all, making too much noise would be quite disadvantageous if the Illuminati found out.

At that moment, they naturally agreed.

Everyone was very harmonious at the banquet. After a few rounds of drinks, Xiao Ce and Ux said their goodbyes.

They have already achieved their goal.

Ux said to Xiao Ce, "Mr. Xiao Ce, please rest assured. Since our Aurelius family has chosen to stand with you... then we will definitely stay loyal to the end. Did you think that the people I took away just now were to preserve the Aurelius family's lineage? Or was it because I didn't trust you?"

Seeing that Ux had brought it up so readily, Xiao Ce then said to Ux, "What? Isn't that right?"

Upon hearing Xiao Ce's words, Ux smiled and waved his hand, then said, "Of course not... These individuals might waver during the cooperation, so I'm taking them away to personally oversee them and extinguish any sparks that could disrupt the cooperation..."

Ux then added, "Of course, leaving some embers is also partly due to this factor..."
