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

Boudica then asked, "Just who is this Paul?"

William Cam looked at Targaryen Isa.

Targaryen Issa noticed that William Cam was looking at her.

Targaryen Isa said to Boudica, "Lady Boudica, I really do know this. This Paul was promoted by my mother..."

"Although they were called lovers, Paul and my mother actually knew each other since childhood. However, Paul was an unknown person. Therefore, the Sion family would definitely not have allowed him to be with my mother..."

"Later, my mother met the Duke of Targaryen, who was my father...and my mother was given to my father as his mistress..."

At this point, Targaryen Isa looked at Boudica and said, "Later, because Mrs. Blaine was a good person, even though my mother was a mistress, she treated us like family, so my mother and I had a fairly good life..."

At this point, Targaryen Isa showed a hint of guilt towards Boudica.

Maybe he was just about to say something sentimental.

Xiao Ce then said to Targaryen Issa, "Alright, no need for that... I've already said that belated affection is worthless... If it weren't for us this time, would you even be thinking of these things?"

Targaryen Issa's expression grew increasingly grim after hearing Xiao Ce's words.

He gave an awkward laugh: "Yes... Lord Ce, you're right, I know. There's no point in saying anything more..."

"I will spend the rest of my life atoning for my sins!"

Xiao Ce smiled without saying a word, gesturing for Targaryen Issa to continue.

Targaryen Isa continued, "Later, Paul also joined the army. Perhaps to be closer to Mother, he joined the Targaryen family army. Originally, Paul didn't tell Mother; she only found out by chance..."

"Later, with my mother's secret help, Paul developed some ability and quickly rose through the ranks of the Targaryen army. At that time, no one knew about the relationship between my mother and Paul. They only knew that Paul was a distant relative of my mother..."

"Even later, after my father died and my mother took control of the Targaryen family, Paul also held a very important position within the Targaryen family..."

"Later, my mother put Paul in charge of the Targaryen army directly."

Boudica said to Targaryen Issa, "Isa, when your mother seized power, Paul must have played a significant role in it."

Targaryen Isa didn't hide anything this time and said directly, "That's right, Lady Boudica. Actually, my mother had this purpose before, so she gave Paul money to make connections with people in the army."

"After that, although they didn't go public with their relationship, they didn't keep it a secret either. Everyone knew about my mother and Paul's relationship. It's said that my mother originally wanted to give Paul a proper status... but Paul, perhaps worried about the impact on my mother, kept suppressing the idea from her..."

Hearing Targaryen Isa say that, Boudica chuckled and then said, "She really is a sentimental seed..."

Boudica then said to Targaryen Isa, "Isa, it's impossible for us to persuade Paul to surrender, right?"

After hearing Boudica's words, Targaryen Isa smiled and then said, "Reporting to Lady Boudica, that's generally true. However, I can give it a try..."

After listening to Targaryen Isa's words, Boudica laughed and said, "Why don't you give it a try? Are you trying to mediate, or are you trying to cause trouble...?"

Boudica's remark was just a joke, but it immediately made Targaryen Issa tense.

He said directly to Boudica, "No... Lady Boudica, I genuinely want to help you..."

After listening to Targaryen Isa's words, Boudica smiled and said, "You killed your mother, the most important person to Paul... Don't you think you were courting death?"

After hearing Boudica's words, Targaryen Isa gave an awkward smile and then said, "I think he might...should...might talk to me for my mother's sake."

Xiao Ce chuckled and said to Targaryen Isa, "Naive! He'll kill you for your mother's sake..."

Seeing Targaryen Isa's embarrassed expression, Xiao Ce smiled and said, "I know you want to serve us, but you should know there are many ways to serve us. There's no need to use such a foolish method..."

Targaryen Issa said to Xiao Ce, "Lord Ce, you are right. I was inconsiderate on my part."

Xiao Ce glanced at Targaryen Isa, then said, "Alright, we understand..."

Targaryen Issa nodded, then glanced at Xiao Ce with curiosity.

Xiao Ce smiled, then said to Targaryen Issa, "Is there anything else?"

Targaryen Issa nodded after hearing Xiao Ce's words.

Looking at Targaryen Issa's expression, Xiao Ce said to her, "Then just say it."

Targaryen Isa nodded. "Lord Tsering, should I go find my grandfather? He's currently serving you, and if we ask him to mobilize troops, it should be enough time... He'd be willing..."

From Targaryen Issa's expression.

A hint of arrogance appeared on Xiao Ce's face: "That's not necessary..."

Hearing Xiao Ce's words, Targaryen Issa showed a hint of surprise on her face.

But, before the words could be spoken, I held them back...

"Alright, you can all go back... It's just 50,000 troops, right? We have ways to handle it..."

After Xiao Ce said this, Targaryen Issa and Boudica nodded: "Lord Ce, Lady Boudica, I believe you are both capable of handling this matter well..."

The two then left.

After watching the two leave, Boudica couldn't help but ask Xiao Ce, "Ce, what Targaryen Isa said is actually quite true... the Zion family's armies were able to arrive quickly to provide support..."

Xiao Ce said to Boudica, "Boudica, it's easy for us to get help from others. But it's really difficult to get them to be afraid. Besides, in this situation, we need to see just how many people are actually willing to help..."

Boudica said to Xiao Ce, "Are you trying to use this crisis to see who here can be used by me, and who cannot be left behind?"

Xiao Ce listened as Boudica said, "That's right! Boudica, only when a crisis arises can we see who is sincere and who is deceitful..."

Upon hearing Xiao Ce's words, Boudica nodded first, then said, "However, Ce, we only have a little over a hundred people..."

Xiao Ce asked Da Lei, who was standing beside him, "Da Lei, how many Maxim guns did you bring?"

Da Lei said to Xiao Ce, "There are thirty in total, plus twenty Czech-made light machine guns, over a hundred sniper rifles, and over a hundred assault rifles of various types... Although we only have a hundred men, we can assemble a force of three thousand at any time..."

After hearing Da Lei's words, Xiao Ce smiled and waved his hand, saying, "No... wrong... I don't want to build an army, but rather our hundred men against their fifty thousand!"

If others heard these words, they would definitely think I'm crazy...

However, upon hearing Xiao Ce's words, Da Lei remained calm and said, "It's not impossible...it is indeed feasible."

After listening to Da Lei's words, Xiao Ce smiled and said, "Then it's decided. This Lundini city has city walls and defenses. Let's set up the machine guns and wait for them to come... It's time for us to let these Westerners experience the crushing power of weapons."

After Xiao Ce said this, Boudica looked at him with some emotion.

Boudica knew very well Xiao Ce's purpose in doing so.

Xiao Ce could have used other, more reliable methods to resolve Paul's problem.

However, Xiao Ce did this to intimidate!

She wanted to let the people of Lundini, and even the entire British Empire, know how powerful Boudica was.

Any attempt to coerce Boudica into compromising through threats is doomed to failure...
