The queen then appeared even more affectionate.

He stepped forward and hugged Boudica tightly, then said affectionately, "Boudica, do you know? Your mother and I practically grew up together... I was heartbroken for a long time when her accident happened."

As she spoke, the Queen glanced venomously at the spot where Zion Michelle's body lay.

Then, with a look of utter disdain, she said, "I never expected her to be such a vicious person... We were all so badly deceived by her!"

"But Boudica, don't worry. From now on, I and the King will back you up... No matter what happens, we will support you... Come on, let's go home now."

The queen's expression changed very quickly, and she seemed very enthusiastic.

It was as if she had truly been waiting for Boudica for a long time.

Little did they know, this woman had been wishing them dead just a few days earlier.

William Cam and Targaryen Isa watched this scene, already used to it...

After all, the most common thing among these so-called nobles is hypocrisy.

They are all extremely hypocritical...

Boudica was quite pleased with their reaction, for no other reason than that.

Because Boudica also wanted them to act.

They were acting, and Boudica played along...

At that moment, Boudica naturally echoed the Queen: "Queen Millie, thank you... thank you so much. I'm really lucky; I always seem to meet helpful people..."

As he spoke, Boudica pointed to Xiao Ce, Da Lei, and the shadow guards following behind him.

"Queen Millie, could my trusted confidants come along...?"

Queen Millie naturally knew what Boudica was doing with these people.

Without a second thought, she readily agreed.

"Of course!"

After Millie finished speaking, she realized that it might not be appropriate to agree immediately.

He looked at William Barton, who was standing to the side.

William Barton glanced at Millie's expression, then smiled and said, "Of course, no problem."

Or William Barton took the opportunity to look at the weapons in Xiao Ce's and the others' hands.

William Barton didn't mince words, stating bluntly, "Just now, I saw these weapons of yours, which I've never seen before... They seem different from traditional weapons. I wonder if Boudica could have a look at them later..."

After listening to William Barton's words, Boudica smiled without saying a word and then said, "Of course, no problem... King Barton, didn't Queen Millie say we're family... good things among family are things we share..."

William Barton had expected Boudica to decline, but he was still quite surprised by what she said.

So, without saying a word, his smile widened even more.

He then said, "Then let's hurry back..."

Boudica said to William Barton, "King Barton, if something unexpected happens here... could you give us some people for Granny Eliza to manage, so he can control the situation? I'm afraid the Targaryens will cause trouble..."

"While you were here, they could still be kept under control, but once you leave, I'm afraid they..."

William Barton was overjoyed that Boudica had readily agreed. Therefore, he tried his best to grant Boudica's requests as well.

"It's alright, Cam. Go and find our Royal Guard to send a thousand men to protect us. If anyone dares to cause trouble, arrest them all..."

After hearing William Barton's words, Boudica bowed in gratitude.

After saying that, Queen Millie pulled Boudica along with a smile and said, "Come on... Boudica, let's go... I've already arranged a welcome dinner for you..."

After hearing Queen Millie's words, Boudica naturally followed with a smile.

At that moment, Xiao Ce and Da Lei were also wearing masks and did not reveal their identities.

Xiao Ce originally came here to have Boudica take center stage.

They followed closely behind, and the crowd began to disperse.

Although the crowd had dispersed, the news had already spread and was known to everyone.

Moreover, throughout Lundini, ordinary people were discussing the death of Sion Michel and the numerous crimes he had committed. In fact, similar rumors about Sion Michel had never stopped.

Even if everyone knew the truth, it would just become a source of amusement for casual conversation...

Meanwhile, some clever people were discussing how to get to know Boudica.

After all, those weapons, even though they were firing into the air.

Those in the know could tell the value of those weapons just by looking at them.

They knew that the first major transformation in the West occurred after the advent of firearms.

The weapons they possessed this time were clearly another groundbreaking innovation.

Putting aside everything else, you can tell just by looking at the attitudes of King William Patton and Queen Millie.

Some clever people have already made contact with Eliza in Targaryen Castle.

Those Targaryen family members who were expelled left without saying a word.

They knew very well that if the king hadn't spoken up for them, they might still have a chance.

But now, they left quietly, without making a fuss.

After all, their master had been shot in the head by Targaryen Isa and hadn't managed to make a name for himself.

If they dare to make a fuss, aren't they just asking for trouble?

So, despite the commotion, things are actually quite calm at this moment.

It had a calm before the storm.

...

Meanwhile, in Heisenberg...

Yin Pan'er was listening to Xiao Yue's report.

Yin Pan'er knew when Boudica and his group arrived in Lundini.

However, Yin Pan'er did not go there, but sent Xiao Yue instead.

After Xiaoyue finished speaking, she said to Yin Pan'er, "My lord, isn't this very much in line with Prince Xiao Ce's style of doing things? But, aren't William Cam and Targaryen Isa supposed to hate them to the bone? Why are they listening to Boudica so much? It seems that Boudica and Lord Xiao Ce have caught them red-handed..."

"But they're really got some nerve... trusting them so readily. The hardest thing to fathom in this world is the human heart..."

Yin Pan'er nodded with a smile: "Don't you understand Xiao Ce? How could he do something like that without being fully prepared? He wouldn't do anything risky. Whenever you think he's done something risky, he must have made thorough preparations beforehand. Have you forgotten about Xie Zhi?"

After hearing Yin Pan'er's words, Xiaoyue's face flashed with a look of doubt: "Xiezhi? Then it suddenly dawned on her, is that the one that can control people's minds?"

After hearing Xiaoyue's words, Yin Pan'er smiled and then said, "That's right, it's that one..."

Xiaoyue said to Yin Pan'er, "My lord, we've had him do that before... but none of them succeeded... except for the one time it succeeded with Prince Xiao Yang... After that, we tried several more times, and all failed... Now, it seems like the Xie Zhi is doing this on purpose? With such a low success rate, how come it succeeded so easily here..."

After listening to Xiaoyue's words, Yin Pan'er smiled and then said, "It's not very likely... Didn't Xie Zhi say before that this method requires not only his skill, but also the target of mind control, the environment, and many other factors... Besides, Xie Zhi wasn't around... It was purely good luck..."

Xiaoyue nodded, then said to Yin Pan'er, "My lord, what should we do now? It seems the entire British Empire will soon be under their control. Do you think William Patton might betray us? After all, I saw his eyes widen when he saw Xiao Ce and the others using their weapons..."

"I think it's possible that he's even prepared to betray us in order to curry favor with them..."

Yin Pan'er smiled and said, "Don't worry, Frank isn't that stupid. He won't betray me until Xiao Ce and Boudica promise him enough benefits... He'll only do it if the benefits they promise outweigh the cost of betraying me... So, you don't need to worry at all..."

"Furthermore, Xiao Ce wouldn't promise him any benefits. Those weapons were clearly just for show..."
