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

Rhys's expression had just softened a bit, but after hearing Night Owl's words, his face turned extremely embarrassed again.

He glanced at Night Owl and said, "Sir, don't worry, I absolutely won't run away! I absolutely won't run away! Whatever you do, I'll cooperate with you! Actually, Mr. Xiao Ce and I were friends before!"

Night Owl glanced at Rhys and muttered, "Friends? You dare call yourself that? What kind of friends are you? Someone who leads an army into someone else's house..."

As they spoke, Night Owl and Zhao Rang exchanged a glance.

Zhao then took the person away.

Rhys looked embarrassed and didn't know what to say.

After Zhao Rang left, Night Cat waved without saying a word, signaling Rhys to follow.

At this moment, Rhys naturally dared not think about anything or have any ideas.

They simply agreed obediently and followed along.

Upon entering the house, Rhys saw Xiao Ce and immediately knelt on the ground without saying a word.

For Rhys, this was a huge shock.

He had actually heard from Nie Bing and the others more than once that Xiao Ce was dead...

Nie Bing and his group made solemn vows...

Now it seems they were wrong!

And it's so terribly wrong...

"Meet the prince!"

Xiao Ce looked at Rhys's expression without any hurry, and simply drank a cup of tea by himself.

Rhys lay prostrate on the ground, looking at Xiao Ce without saying a word.

He simply lay prone on the ground, not daring to move.

In fact, he didn't even dare to breathe loudly.

After drinking a cup of tea, Xiao Ce slowly said to Reis, "Nikolaevich Reis, your Xiao language has improved a lot... and you've also learned our Xiao etiquette quite well..."

Rhys remained obediently lying prone in place.

"Your Highness...actually, my interest in the Xiao Kingdom arose entirely because of you..."

Xiao Ce smiled faintly: "Because of me? You make it sound so easy... How could it possibly be because of me..."

Ries, still forcing a smile, replied, "Your Highness... it's you... you've given us a completely different perspective on the Xiao Kingdom?"

Upon seeing this, Xiao Ce laughed out loud: "So, you're going to come and steal it?"

Xiao Ce's voice remained very gentle, without the slightest change in emotion.

That one sentence almost scared Rhys out of his wits...

"No, no, no... I... we actually..."

Xiao Ce smiled faintly at his attempt to explain: "Alright... stop explaining... Do you think I don't know what's going on on your end? No matter how much the Illuminati threatens you, if you don't agree, this matter won't be done, right?"

After hearing Xiao Ce's words, Rhys trembled.

"Your Highness...I..."

Lisbon considered explaining, but then he suddenly thought of Xiao Ce's personality.

"Your Highness...we were wrong...but...but...you did it for your country, and I did it for mine...If you were here, I would never have dared to do this..."

"If possible, there's a possibility of making amends... I was thinking of making amends for Your Highness... Could you tell me if there's anything I can do to make amends..."

After listening to Rhys's words, Xiao Ce smiled and said, "Rhys, not bad! You are indeed a smart person... What you said is exactly what I want to hear... And I can indeed find a way to make up for it... as long as you want to!"

Ries said to Xiao Ce with great certainty, "Your Highness, please see if there's anything you can help with... Just ask... I'll do whatever I can..."

Before Rhys could finish his empty pledge of loyalty...

"That's enough! Your attitude is sufficient!"

With that, Xiao Ce waved his hand.

Night Owl gestured to Rhys, inviting him to join in.

Rhys was completely dumbfounded. Xiao Ce seemed to have said something... but in reality, Xiao Ce hadn't said anything at all...

Night Owl then said to Rhys, "Rhys, you just go when we tell you to... Our prince will follow you whenever he needs you..."

"And do you think he'll tell you in advance what he wants to do and what he wants you to do?"

When Xiao Ce heard Night Cat say that, he nodded with a smile and gave Night Cat a thumbs up.

Rhys looked extremely embarrassed; he simply nodded and didn't dare say another word...

She obediently followed behind the night owl.

As soon as Rhys reached the door, he immediately thought of something.

He stopped and turned to look at Xiao Ce.

"Your Highness...don't you want to know what the Illuminati wants us to do?"

Xiao Ce shook his head: "I don't want to know, nor do I need to know. Your actions have already made it clear... Isn't it just invading our country? As for what I want to know, you certainly don't know..."

Xiao Ce's words, though direct, were indeed the truth...

He had no choice but to accept it.

After all, Xiao Ce was able to come over and easily capture their people, so he must know much more than he did by showing off.

He nodded dejectedly and left.

Settle this Reese aside.

When Night Owl returned, he glanced at Xiao Ce.

Xiao Ce said to Night Cat, "Actually, I haven't figured out how to settle that guy either."

Night Cat stared wide-eyed at Xiao Ce and said, "Your Highness, how...how did you know what I was going to say?"

Xiao Ce said with a smile, "That's called tacit understanding."

Then, he said to Night Owl, "I just suspect that the fake guy took Nie Bing with him when he left...maybe it would be useful to take him with him!"

Night Cat said to Xiao Ce, "Your Highness, would it be useful for you to have them follow me?"

Xiao Ce nodded and said to Night Cat, "It'll definitely be useful... This person is at least a smart one... Watch closely."

Night Owl nodded: "How about I go see for myself?"

Xiao Ce waved his hand: "No need. This guy isn't that important. If he were really that important... then when they took Nie Bing away, they would have taken him with them."

Seeing this, Night Cat asked Xiao Ce, "Your Highness, what do you think is the origin of that fake? Is it someone from the Illuminati?"

Xiao Ce shook his head: "It's hard to say... After all, since that fake product appeared, it hasn't done anything else... nor has it done anything to damage this area... So, I don't know what's going on with them."

As the two were talking, there was another knock on the door.

This was followed by a respectful inquiry: "Your Highness, we are all ready."

It was Zhao Rang's voice.

With a single glance from Xiao Ce, Night Cat walked to the door.

After opening the door, Zhao Rang followed Xiao Ce and spoke.

"His Highness is all ready!"

Xiao Ce nodded and followed Zhao Rang to lead the way.

"Your Highness, I've already given them instructions... they will try their best to remain calm..."

"However, some people still have doubts...they think I'm bragging."

After hearing Zhao Rang's words, Xiao Ce laughed and said, "Whether it's bragging or not... I'll find out when I get there!"

At this moment, in a reception room, the prefects from various regions were already eagerly waiting.

They were all looking forward to Xiao Ce's appearance.

Although some people thought that Xiao Ce might not come, Zhao Rang was just trying to fool them.

However, they also harbored expectations in their hearts.

"They're here! The Prince is here!"

"It really is! It really is His Highness! Greetings, Your Highness!"

...

Before Xiao Ce even got close, he heard a shout from the mountains.

Upon hearing this shout, Xiao Ce looked into the distance and saw a group of people pouring out of the house.

Then a huge mass of people knelt on the ground.

Zhao Rang's expression froze for a moment upon seeing Xiao Ce's expression, then he said, "Your Highness... I was just following their orders... You don't like kneeling... but... but..."

Xiao Ce smiled slightly at Zhao Rang's expression: "Alright, it's alright. Didn't you kneel down back then?"

Stepping forward, Xiao Ce said with a smile, "Gentlemen, I have received your attitude... Please rise now. I've come to have a chat with you..."

After hearing Xiao Ce's words, the prefects became respectful and deferential.

Xiao Ce's main purpose was to promote Yin Weiyong, because he had previously given these prefects too much power.

Times have changed, and stable development is now needed.

The goal is to increase Yin Weiyong's power.

These prefects were all intelligent men, and Xiao Ce said that Yin Weiyong represented him.

They all expressed their support for Yin Weiyong.

Xiao Ce then recounted how Nie Bing had been taken away, as well as how Tojo Koichi had been taken away from the south.

These people all became wary.

Then he looked at her and said, "Your Highness, how can we tell if you are real or fake?"
