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

After hearing what the lieutenant general of the royal guard said, Paul snorted coldly.

"Who cares... Now that we have William Barton's tacit approval, let them know, let them know, that everything comes at a price..."

The lieutenant general of the personal guard nodded respectfully to Paul.

"Alright! Let's head full speed ahead towards Lundini City..."

...

The following day, Targaryen Castle was much more lively.

Boudica had already spoken to the families he wanted to curry favor with, and they had all taken their servants back with them.

So the servants who came later were all genuinely there, and some were the children of her mother's former trusted servants. This was the kind of education they had for their children...

After being invited by Grandma Eliza, they came without hesitation.

These people passed the questioning by the shadow guards and were all fine.

Boudica got up early and saw that Eliza was already waiting at the door.

Upon seeing Eliza, Boudica asked, "What happened to Grandma Eliza?"

At this moment, Grandma Eliza was clearly a little nervous.

“Miss Boudica, since last night, Paul’s army seems to have been injected with some kind of stimulant, marching frantically... According to our people’s estimates, they should arrive here by this evening!”

After hearing what Granny Eliza said, Boudica smiled and said, "Trying to get yourself killed... Granny Eliza, don't worry."

Grandma Eliza knew they had very powerful weapons.

However, there are far too few of them.

Moreover, she also clearly felt it ever since she learned that Paul was attacking.

Many people who used to greet and try to get close to Grandma Eliza from time to time have stopped coming.

It was obvious that they were all afraid of being asked for help by Grandma Eliza.

Grandma Eliza had long since seen through the coldness and indifference of the world.

She can understand it.

After all, it is human nature to seek advantage and avoid harm.

However, Grandma Eliza could tell from their attitude.

Once a fight breaks out, these people will all stand by and watch...

When the time comes, only those who achieve an overwhelming victory will choose to help the other side...

So, currently, they only have a little over three hundred people...

Moreover, only a little over a hundred people were actually capable of fighting...

The other side has 50,000 people; this is clearly not on the same level.

So Eliza's mother-in-law was still very worried.

Grandma Eliza spoke to Boudica about her concerns.

After listening to Eliza's words, Boudica said, "Grandma Eliza, don't worry... it's not one hundred to fifty thousand... at most it's one hundred to one thousand, or even less..."

After Boudica said that, Grandma Eliza looked suspicious and puzzled.

Boudica smiled and said to Grandma Eliza, "Grandma, you'll see when the time comes..."

After hearing Boudica's words, Granny Eliza simply asked Boudica, "Miss Boudica, does Mr. Xiao Ce know about this matter?"

Boudica smiled and nodded at Granny Eliza: "That's right, of course Ce knew, Granny Eliza. Actually, if Ce hadn't told me, I would have been very worried too... But after Ce told me, I trust him unconditionally..."

After hearing Boudica's words, Granny Eliza smiled and said, "Miss Boudica, that's good. Hearing you say that... I'm relieved... I still acknowledge Mr. Xiao Ce's abilities..."

Boudica burst into laughter after hearing what Grandma Eliza said.

Then, Grandma Eliza turned to Boudica and said, "By the way, Miss Boudica, is there anything we need to do here?"

Boudica shook her head: "No need, just stay here peacefully. Xiao Ce will tell me if you need anything... I'll come and let you know..."

Hearing Boudica say this, Grandma Eliza nodded.

Seeing that Grandma Eliza seemed to have something to say but couldn't, Boudica asked her.

“Grandma Eliza, we’re already so close... You can speak freely with me... I will tell you everything I know... Is there anything we can’t say to each other?”

Hearing Boudica's words, Granny Eliza looked somewhat embarrassed and said, "Boudica, I know it might not be appropriate for me to say this... but after thinking it over, I still feel I should tell you..."

Seeing what Grandma Eliza was saying, Boudica quickly replied, "Grandma Eliza... just tell me. Your suspense is really making me anxious..."

Grandma Eliza smiled at Boudica: "Don't be nervous... don't be nervous, it's nothing serious... I just wanted to say, why aren't you living with Mr. Xiao Ce... Mr. Xiao Ce is a very capable person... you absolutely mustn't miss out on him..."

Boudica burst out laughing after hearing what Grandma Eliza said.

“Grandma Eliza, what are you thinking… We don’t live together because Ce prefers to be alone whenever he needs to think… Besides, we just arrived in Lundini City, and everything here is a whirlwind of things… We’re not exactly busy with our own things either… We don’t have time to think about anything else.”

Boudica said with a helpless smile.

Eliza smiled at Boudica and then said, "Miss Boudica, that's good... Don't mind me... I just wanted you to have a good future... I've been observing Xiao Ce for a long time. Whether it's the approval he's gained from Kimberly and his older brothers, or the things I've personally witnessed him doing... I completely approve of him..."

Boudica nodded to Eliza: "Grandma Eliza, Mr. Ce and I are indeed boyfriend and girlfriend... But, as you know, he is a very outstanding man... And you should understand that a truly outstanding man cannot stay by my side... Moreover, as you know, he has a career in East Asia that he is extremely proud of."

"He came here partly because of the greater good, and partly to help me... So, Granny Eliza, if you want him to stay by my side forever, then you are destined to be disappointed..."

"Besides, he's not someone that can be tied down by just any woman..."

Grandma Eliza was clearly surprised when Boudica said this so firmly...

Although she didn't seem to understand.

But she supports it!

Grandma Eliza said to Boudica, "Miss Boudica, please don't mind it too much... I just had one simple thought... I just want you to have a good future..."

Boudica listened to Eliza's words and nodded with a smile, "Grandma Eliza, I know you care about me... but actually, after experiencing and witnessing so much, I understand very well. Relying on others is unreliable; only oneself is truly dependable. Furthermore, when we look for a partner, if we only want to be someone else's support, that partner will feel pressured... Now that Xiao Ce is willing to help me, I think it's time to build something of my own..."

"Only when we become truly powerful can we become Xiao Ce's true allies, and only then will he be able to live without us..."

After listening to Boudica's words, Eliza seemed to be deep in thought.

She nodded immediately: "Miss Boudica, you're right... what you said does make sense..."

Just as the two were talking, a newly arrived servant rushed over.

Seeing the anxious look on the person's face, Eliza quickly asked, "What's wrong?"

The visitor addressed Eliza, "Grandma Eliza, Ms. Boudica, there's a man at the door who calls himself Void, looking for Boudica and Mr. Xiao Ce..."

Eliza looked directly at Boudica as she listened.

Boudica looked at the newcomer with surprise, then asked seriously, "What does that person look like?"

The servant who came to report said to Boudica, "Madam Boudica, that man was wrapped up very tightly, and I couldn't tell who he was..."

After hearing what this person said, Boudica nodded: "Okay, go and invite that person to the reception room first."

The servant who came to report nodded.

Without saying a word, Boudica went straight to find Xiao Ce.

Xiao Ce was just about to look for Boudica when the two of them met on the way.

Boudica asked Xiao Ce, "Ce, are you going out?"

Xiao Ce shook his head: "Didn't I come here to find you? Are you here to see me looking like this?"

After listening to Xiao Ce's words, Boudica smiled and nodded, then said, "That's right, someone came outside saying they were looking for you and me... and that person called you by your name directly, then wrapped themselves up very tightly. I suspect it might be someone from Sister Pan'er's side..."

After hearing Boudica's words, Xiao Ce immediately became interested.

"Oh? Where is he?"

Boudica replied to Xiao Ce, "We have already sent someone to take him to the reception room."

Xiao Ce nodded and then said, "Alright, let's go take a look..."

After hearing Xiao Ce's words, Boudica smiled and said, "Okay!"

After taking only a few steps, Boudica suddenly remembered what the person who came to report had said: "By the way, Ce, the person who came was called Void..."

Because Xiao Ce did not tell Boudica about what Xiao Yue had said.

Xiao Ce didn't say anything because he didn't trust him.

It's simply because I couldn't understand what they were saying.

Moreover, it was about the secret of his time travel, which Xiao Ce had not told anyone at this time.

Even Yin Pan'er's side didn't have it.

Judging from Xiao Ce's expression, Boudica knew that Xiao Ce knew him.

"Ce, do you know him?"

Xiao Ce smiled and said, "That's right, you know him too..."

After listening to Xiao Ce's words, Boudica asked curiously, "The void? It's..."

Xiao Ce said to Boudica, "It's the Mad Taoist..."

They went straight to the reception room and soon saw a familiar figure from behind.

Da Lei recognized him immediately and whispered to Xiao Ce, "It's the Mad Taoist..."

After hearing what Da Lei said, Xiao Ce asked the person who came.

"Mad Taoist, it's you!"

Then the mad Taoist turned around and removed the mask that was tightly covering his face.

The clothes he was wearing were different from before; they were no longer so tattered...

That face remained the same as before, an icy expression...

"Xiao Ce, long time no see..." The face and voice of the Mad Taoist were indeed familiar.

I just thought the Mad Taoist was a bit mysterious.

But after listening to Xiaoyue's information and treating the Mad Taoist as a robot, everything seemed to make sense.

At that moment, Xiao Ce wanted to verify his conjecture.

Xiao Ce walked forward with a smile on his face.

He stepped forward and shook hands with the Mad Taoist: "Yes, it's been a long time... Ever since you went to Yin Pan'er's place, you've just disappeared. We haven't been able to find you..."

As Xiao Ce spoke, he felt the sensation in the Mad Taoist's hands.

His skin was just like any other person's, but you could feel that it was indeed a bit cold.

Moreover, Xiao Ce believed that he was quite strong.

However, when he shook hands with the mad Taoist forcefully, the mad Taoist seemed not to feel it at all.

The mad Taoist remained expressionless as he spoke to Xiao Ce, "I am now working for Yin Pan'er. Therefore, not being discovered by you is also part of my job."

The mad Taoist still spoke in a cold and aloof manner.

Based on the way he spoke, Xiao Ce could be certain that he was a robot.

However, this robot was completely different from what he had imagined.

After all, to the naked eye and to the touch, it really does look exactly the same as an ordinary person.

Xiao Ce really wanted to knock him unconscious, then disassemble him to see his structure and whether he was a robot.

However, Xiao Ce was only thinking about it.

After all, Da Lei had said that none of them were a match for this mad Taoist.

After hearing his answer, Xiao Ce said directly to him, "Okay, you just said your name is Void... Did Yin Pan'er give you this name?"

After hearing Xiao Ce's words, the Mad Taoist shook his head: "Of course not... I've always had this name."

After listening to the mad Taoist's words, Xiao Ce felt a sense of melancholy and emotion.

If I'm not mistaken, Xiao Ce is the true master of this mad Taoist...
