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

Xiao Ce was surprised that this renowned naval admiral would speak so politely.

It seems that the previous war dealt him a very heavy blow.

After listening to Lannister Rambo's words, Xiao Ce smiled and said, "General Rambo, you're being too polite. First of all, you should know that Lady Boudica is a Targaryen. She is also a citizen of the British Empire."

Boudica chimed in, "Yes, General Rambo. Although I was taken from my family, I am a Targaryen at heart. I cannot bear to see our soldiers die in battle and their children left to wander the streets... I know that kind of life is not good when I was abducted."

After hearing Boudica's words, Lannister Rambo nodded: "If the ruling class of the British Empire all thought this way, things wouldn't have come to this..."

Just then, Lannister Morgan said to Boudica and Lannister Rambo, "Gentlemen, let's go inside first and then talk."

After listening to Morgan's words, Lannister Rambo finally said, "Yes, yes, you see, please..."

Then, Lannister Rambo said awkwardly, "This is your property; we've almost overstepped our bounds..."

Xiao Ce was genuinely unaccustomed to Lannister Rambo's overly polite attitude...

“It’s alright, it’s alright, General Rambo. This shows that you don’t consider us outsiders… I think this is a good thing! Besides, this estate originally belonged to Mr. Morgan, so he was the original owner.”

“I am well aware that Mr. Morgan knows I founded the Dark Light House here. Therefore, this estate is practically being given away for free. I appreciate your kindness…”

As they were talking, they followed him inside and entered the house.

The decor here isn't exactly luxurious, but it's still quite comfortable.

This work was previously done by ordinary workers, and it was quite good for them...

After they were all seated, Xiao Ce said to them, "General Rambo, what do you think of your visit here?"

Because Xiao Ce had already instructed Qiao John and had gathered a group of teachers.

Furthermore, outstanding individuals from various disciplines created professional courses.

Although Xiao Ce no longer intervened, these matters were proceeding in an orderly manner.

Everything, including the doctors and cooks, is already being prepared.

And the manor is being renovated.

Lannister Rambo nodded at them with great satisfaction.

In fact, one of the biggest reasons why Lannister Rambo treated them so warmly was that it was clear they had put their heart into it.

Moreover, according to John, their evaluation of them is very high.

This is also the main reason why Rambo treated them well.

Lannister Rambo nodded and smiled, saying, "Good! Excellent! This not only provides them with a place to live, but also teaches them a skill for their future survival. So, I want to especially thank you... And, I heard you're planning to open more than just one?"

Xiao Ce nodded: "General Rambo, that's right. As you know, we've already sent John John to the British Empire to select sites and try to settle as many orphans as possible..."

As he spoke, Xiao Ce looked at John.

John nodded: "Mr. Ce, as you instructed, that's already been done. We'll try our best to choose existing buildings so we can take in as many orphans as possible as quickly as possible... However, this will still take some time... at least one or two months..."

Xiao Ce nodded, then said, "Let's do it as soon as possible. Let's get things running and start operating first, then we can do the renovations later..."

Then, turning to Lannister Rambo, he said, "General Rambo, how about this? I was thinking of getting everything sorted out before bringing the children over. But are you in a hurry right now? If you are, we can bring the orphans over first. The places we bought will definitely need renovation; the environment might not be ideal..."

Lannister Rambo waved his hand: "No, no, no... Mr. Czerny, you can do as you see fit. Although the British royal family was very reluctant, they still took us in, and although the conditions are poor, we can still survive. Mr. Czerny, we are already very happy to see that your kind of civilian organization can provide assistance... Just proceed according to your own schedule..."

Just as Rambo said that, Xiao Ce subconsciously glanced at Boudica.

Boudica glanced at Xiao Ce and immediately understood.

"General Rambo, what do you mean by 'always survive'?"

Rambo gave a bitter smile, seemingly a little embarrassed to say it.

John said, "Ms. Boudica, the children are living in terrible conditions. The royal family has provided them with some abandoned housing, and then they've been kept like livestock... They're just barely surviving..."

Boudica listened, her face filled with disbelief: "What? How could this be...? Can we open the buildings we bought all over the British Empire now? Never mind everything else for now... at least let them live like human beings..."

Boudica spoke with a face full of sympathy and compassion.

John nodded: "That's no problem. We can start accepting them within a week at the earliest... However, we've already purchased ten properties, each capable of accommodating three thousand orphans at full capacity, totaling over thirty thousand orphans... But currently, the estimated number of war orphans is nearly one hundred thousand..."

Boudica nodded: "Then let's buy more properties. Since we've decided to do it, let's deal with a few first; it's always good to start with a few..."

Xiao Ce then spoke up, addressing Lannister Rambo and Morgan, "Mr. Morgan, Mr. Rambo, I hope what we're doing won't offend anyone. After all, our intentions are good... but even good intentions can be misinterpreted by some people..."

Lannister Rambo: "Don't worry, Mr. Ce, Ms. Boudica, no one will say anything about what you're doing... But have you thought this through? Adopting these 100,000 orphans will cost you at least 300 to 500 million every year..."

Boudica said to Lannister Rambo, "Of course, we have a budget of one billion sols... General Rambo, I am a businessman, I will not do business at a loss."

Upon hearing Boudica's words, Lannister Rambo immediately tensed up.

Boudica explained, “General Rambo, rest assured... we will not use those orphans to make money... I mean, I rely on this Dark Light House to increase the exposure of our Dark Light brand.”

"The added value of a brand lies in gaining public recognition and making people feel that it is a responsible brand."

“And…” Boudica paused, seemingly hesitant.

At this moment, Lannister Morgan said to Boudica, "Ms. Boudica, please feel free to speak... Actually, I've mentioned your matter to my elder brother as well."

Boudica nodded to Morgan, then looked at Lannister Rambo and said, "General Rambo, well then, I have nothing to hide... Let's be frank... I have my own motives for doing this. Once I've established myself here, I will definitely go to the British Empire to reclaim everything that rightfully belongs to me..."

"However, the Targaryen family now has significant ties with the William royal family... so I'm very likely to participate in the election. So, it's also a way for me to build some connections... so you don't need to feel any guilt, I also have my own selfish motives."

"However, that's all I'm doing. I'm genuinely helping them. I certainly won't use them to make a single penny; you can check that at any time..."

Boudica spoke very frankly.

Rambo said to Boudica, "Ms. Boudica, I understand. Morgan mentioned this to me before as well. Thank you for your frankness. This time, I came partly to check on this Dark Light House. You're better than I expected. I can see that, although you keep saying you have ulterior motives..."

“However, you genuinely want what’s best for them and truly want to help them; otherwise, you wouldn’t have thought things through so meticulously. On the other hand, I’ve come to see you as a person… After all, the current actions of the William royal family are indeed hard to predict. If you need help… I will definitely provide it.”

Xiao Ce was somewhat surprised after hearing Rambo's words: "General Rambo, do you mean that if Boudica wants to participate in the election later, you will help her?"
