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

William Cam wore an excited expression, but inwardly he was utterly disdainful and didn't care at all...

"Thank you, Father! But Father, have you considered...?"

William Cam stopped mid-sentence, leaving William Barton puzzled and asking a question.

"What have you considered?"

William Cam said, "Father, what are the advantages of cooperating with Boudica? Didn't you tell her yesterday that she wasn't very interested? She didn't seem very willing... Now, not only the Sion family, but all the families in Lundini City want to cooperate with Boudica..."

Hearing William Cam's words, William Barton's face lit up with arrogance, and he said, "Don't worry. She won't choose me. Are those families as powerful as me? Besides, I've already gone to find Paul..."

After listening to William Barton's words, William Cam pretended to be doing his homework and asked William Barton, "Paul? Which Paul?"

William Barton said to William Cam, "That's Michel's lover. All the Targaryen armies are in his hands. He has fifty thousand troops... Paul and Michel are very close..."

William Cam said to William Barton, "You're not going to send that Paul to deal with Boudica, are you?"

William Barton smiled without saying a word, then said, "That's right! When the 50,000 troops besiege the city, only I have the ability to help Boudica get out of the siege..."

"Moreover, with Paul's arrival and his threats, those so-called families, those who all want to curry favor with Boudica, will probably all abandon her..."

"When everyone abandons Boudica, we will stand by her side without hesitation! Then, who do you think Boudica will choose as her partner?"

William Cam was indeed somewhat surprised after hearing what William Barton said.

Seeing that William Cam didn't respond, William Barton continued, "Father, your idea is indeed good... but have you considered that Paul now holds considerable power, and he knows about Lingas's situation? Why do you think Paul would come to help us? Even if he were willing to avenge Michelle, he wouldn't just listen to us and stop, would he?"

William Barton smiled and said, "You don't need to worry about that! You'll see when the time comes..."

William Cam smiled at William Barton's expression; he knew perfectly well that Barton's smile meant he was absolutely certain...

After William Barton finished speaking, he said to William Cam, "Alright, Cam, you can continue to Boudica's side... He hasn't suspected you, has he?"

William Cam said to William Barton, "Father, don't worry. There's no doubt, everything is fine... Boudica isn't paying attention to me at all right now..."

William Barton nodded, then said, "By the way, Cam, you and Boudica are about the same age. Do you think it's possible for you to win him over..."

After hearing William Barton's words, William Cam looked at him with disbelief and said, "Father, are you serious?"

After listening to William Cam's words, William Barton looked at him earnestly and said, "Cam, of course I'm serious... Actually, if you could just win that woman over, you wouldn't need to go through all this trouble..."

William Cam gave a wry smile, then said to William Cam, "You really think too highly of me. Father, you know perfectly well that Boudica has someone backing her..."

William Barton said to William Cam, "Cam, I don't think highly of you, but don't underestimate yourself either... You are my son, William Barton's son, and a prince of the British Empire... You are worthy of him..."

Seeing William Cam's bewildered expression, he then said, "Alright, you're still too timid. This is called 'the bolder the heart, the greater the harvest'... Don't worry, maybe this time, through Paul's matter, I can actually get her to beg me, and I can take the opportunity to let you marry her... We'd be a powerful alliance, right?"

William Barton became more and more excited as he spoke.

William Cam looked at William Barton with an expression that said he was looking at an idiot.

In William Cam's eyes, this William Barton was really just dreaming...

However, he no longer wanted to waste any more words with William Barton...

"Father, if you put it that way, it really is possible... I will do whatever you say!"

William Barton smiled and patted William Cam on the shoulder, seeing how docile he was.

William Barton wondered if William Cam was overjoyed or somewhat insecure...

"You underestimate yourself and overestimate Boudica. Boudica does have some power, but I think that power comes from the person behind him. I personally think he's just average..."

After hearing what William Barton said, William Cam gave a wry smile and didn't respond.

They said yes.

Thinking to myself, there must have been a reason why he was so foolish before.

They all inherited William Patton's intelligence!

Just then, William Cam said, "Father, I'll head back now. I'll keep a close eye on Boudica, just in case anything goes wrong..."

William Barton said to William Cam, "Okay, be careful not to let them trick you into revealing anything..."

William Cam smiled at William Barton and said with absolute certainty that it wouldn't happen.

...

Turning his head, William Cam stood respectfully before Boudica and Xiao Ce.

He repeated exactly what William Barton had said.

Boudica was so angry she laughed after hearing this.

William Cam gave an awkward laugh, then said to Boudica, "Lady Boudica, haven't you finally figured out where I got my brain from?"

Boudica couldn't help but chuckle when she heard William Cam say that.

"William Cam, you've certainly become much smarter this time?"

William Cam gave an awkward smile: "We're really grateful to Lord Ce and Lady Boudica for pulling us back in time. Otherwise, we would have gone further and further down this path... perhaps even into a dead end..."

Targaryen Isa listened and nodded in full agreement.

Xiao Ce was still somewhat surprised after witnessing this scene...

Is this what the shadow guards meant by self-taming after taming?
