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

William Barton had no choice but to suppress his anger and force a smile that looked more like a grimace.

“Miss Boudica, we are naturally different from them…”

Boudica's expression immediately became quite interesting upon hearing William Barton's hypocritical words.

"Oh? Why is it different?"

Just then, William Barton said to Boudica, "Miss Boudica, they want to see who wins first, and then they'll support that person. I want to see if we'll be the first to support you if you find yourself on the defensive..."

Boudica's enigmatic smile deepened, and she asked, "Oh? I see..."

William Barton, his conviction unusually strong, said to Boudica, "That's right, that's exactly it... Miss Boudica, are you doubting us? Although you haven't asked us, we've been secretly sending people to help us..."

"Once you find yourself on the defensive, I will issue orders from there. Our Royal Guard will arrive immediately and support you!"

Boudica chuckled as she listened to William Barton, then said, "Oh? Is that so? Why didn't you tell me beforehand? I had no idea you were thinking this..."

William Barton looked at Boudica's smile, though he sensed something was off about it.

However, he still suppressed his displeasure.

He said with unwavering conviction, "Of course! We didn't follow your lead because we felt there must be a reason why you didn't come looking for us... Even though you didn't come, we can't ignore you... You are the head of House Targaryen... Actually, my son, Cam, knows about this too!"

As he spoke, William Barton looked at William Cam.

According to William Barton's plan, because William Cam lied to William Barton, saying they had Boudica's complete trust...

Therefore, William Barton felt that as long as William Cam said that,

Boudica will definitely believe it.

However, after William Barton finished speaking with William Cam...

William Cam simply stared coldly at William Barton, his gaze unfriendly.

Upon seeing this, William Barton frowned at William Cam, then gave him a displeased look.

"Kam, I'm talking to you! Are you deaf?"

Boudica continued, turning to William Barton, "William Barton, don't be hasty... William Cam has received completely different news..."

After Boudica finished speaking.

William Barton still had a look of confusion and doubt in his eyes.

At this moment, William Cam stepped forward, his face dark, and said to William Barton, "Father, why did you lie to us... why did you lie to Miss Boudica..."

William Cam asked righteously.

William Barton was stunned.

Queen Millie, standing nearby, was also getting anxious: "Cam, are you sick? What are you saying? Don't talk nonsense..."

Queen Millie, turning anxiously to Targaryen Issa standing nearby, asked, "Issa... hurry and see if Cam is having an episode... what's wrong? Why is he talking nonsense..."

Despite Queen Millie's words, Targaryen Issa maintained her icy gaze as she looked at them.

But they remained unmoved.

William Cam did not stop at this point.

"Father, Mother, don't be nervous... If you're not lying to Miss Boudica, what's the rush?"

William Barton did not respond.

Because he had no idea what his son was up to...

William Cam then said to William Barton, "Father, please don't remain silent... Running away won't solve anything... I've already pleaded with Miss Boudica... If you just speak up, Miss Boudica will forgive all your crimes... and let bygones be bygones..."

Upon hearing William Cam's words, William Barton's displeasure reached its peak...

"Kam, what nonsense are you spouting... I did not betray Miss Boudica. Besides, I am the king, and she is a Targaryen, my subordinate. Since ancient times, it is only subordinates who betray their superiors, never superiors who betray their subordinates... What utter nonsense are you spouting..."

William Cam said to William Barton, "Father, are you sure you don't admit it?"

William Barton had already noticed something was off about William Cam.

He turned directly to Boudica and said, "Miss Boudica, don't listen to his nonsense. This kid has lost his mind again... Take him away..."

Boudica said to William Barton, "Your Majesty, don't worry... what's the rush... if he's mentally unstable, let's just treat him as a joke, let's just listen to a joke..."

Hearing Boudica's words, William Barton's face darkened, and he said fiercely to William Cam, "Cam, think carefully before you speak. If you say something nonsensical... you should think about what the consequences will be..."

Upon hearing William Barton's words, William Cam gave a meaningful smile.

"Don't worry, I understand... And Father, rest assured, these words weren't spoken by me... but by someone else..."

William Cam clapped his hands as he spoke.

Just then, a close confidant of Paul, Jordan, came out from the side and approached.

Everyone looked towards this person.

These are some nobles who are on good terms with Paul. They recognized him at a glance as one of Paul's confidants.

Of course, this applies to anyone who is not on good terms with Paul.

He did not know Jordan, Paul's confidant.

King William Patton and Queen Millie both looked at Jordan with puzzled expressions.

In fact, they all knew William Barton whenever he brought his butler.

After Jordan came out, he first bowed to Boudika, and then to the other nobles.

But William Patton was the only one missing.

William Barton looked displeased but didn't say anything.

At this moment, he was considering what they wanted to do.

In fact, he had considered all sorts of possibilities, but he hadn't thought of what was about to happen.

At that moment, after Jordan came out, William Patton went directly to Paul.

He told Boudica about the matter of uniting with Paul.

He recounted the whole story, and now he was doing so with great emotion.

The expressions on the faces of the nobles after Jordan said that.

Their expressions immediately became quite interesting.

William Barton, standing nearby, immediately became furious...

"You're talking nonsense...you're lying...Miss Boudica, he's talking nonsense..."

Boudica said calmly, "Whether he's lying or not is not for you to decide, nor for me to decide!"

William Barton wanted to say something, but Boudica directly rejected him.

“Your Majesty, please don’t be anxious… There are so many noble family heads here today… They are the most outstanding people in the entire British Empire, and I believe they will be absolutely fair.”

"Next, we will present the evidence and then hand it over to you for judgment. Let's see if Jordan has lied. If Jordan has lied, I will make sure he suffers a terrible fate..."

After speaking, Boudica turned to Jordan with a fierce expression and said, "Jordan, according to the old rules... I will give you another chance. You can take back what you just said, and if you do, I won't blame you... But if you insist... you should know the crime of framing the king..."

Jordan said to Boudica with absolute certainty, "Miss Boudica, since I dare to say this, I can confidently say that...every word I say is true..."

Queen Millie pointed at Jordan and began to berate him: "Jordan, don't talk nonsense... You're telling the truth, you're just trying to curry favor with Miss Boudica because your master was killed... Let me tell you, you won't succeed... You..."

Before Queen Millie could finish speaking, Boudica, who was standing to the side, couldn't stand it anymore.

Boudica interrupted Queen Millie directly, saying, "Millie El, don't be so hasty... If you did it, you did it; if you didn't, I would never slander you as the one who did it..."

William Barton, sensing something was amiss, quickly shouted, "Enough! Miss Boudica, what do you mean by this? Are you here to interrogate me? I'll tell you, I didn't do it... I simply didn't do it... What, do you want to judge me? Boudica, I'm giving you face, not so you can interrogate me..."

"Boudica, I hope you can recognize your place. The respect I give you does not mean you can trample on our imperial authority!"

"Kam, don't be afraid. Tell me, did Boudica threaten you...? You did, tell me..."

William Barton now sensed the threat and became anxious.

William Cam said to William Barton, “Father, don’t worry. Miss Boudica didn’t threaten me… I simply can’t stand your actions. I could have kept quiet about what you did before… I thought you could change your ways, but clearly you haven’t. On the contrary, you’ve only gotten worse… You’ve harmed…”

"Shut up..." William Barton said, pulling out a pre-prepared pistol from his waist.

He was just about to fire.

Then a loud bang was heard, and with that sound, William Patton's hand was pierced by a sniper rifle.

A finely crafted pistol fell to the ground with a thud...

After William Barton's hand was pierced, he clutched it in pain, crying out, "Ah... what are you trying to do..."

Boudica said to William Patton, "William Patton, tell me what I'm going to do! I'll tell you straight, don't move. Slapping your hand earlier was to give you a chance to live... We have many guns aimed at you... If you dare move, those snipers over there can shoot you dead anytime, anywhere... turn you into a sieve..."

"What do you want to do? Boudica, are you crazy? Aren't we allies? What do you mean... If others see you treating your allies like this, who will dare to continue cooperating with you?"

Queen Millie said to Boudica, "He really does know how to pull people directly into their own thoughts."

"Gentlemen, open your eyes and look! This Boudica treats his supporters the way he treats them..."

At this moment, William Cam pulled out a gun from his person and pointed it at Queen Millie.

"Shut up! Shut up! Look at the mess you've made! If you hadn't done all this, if you had just wholeheartedly served Miss Boudica, would they have treated you like this? You brought this all on yourselves..."

William Cam pointed a gun at Queen Millie and said excitedly.

Queen Millie was completely stunned.

She stood there stunned, then said in disbelief, "Kam, I am your mother... What are you doing? Are you crazy? I am your mother, everything I have done is for you... And now you're pointing a gun at my head... What, are you going to follow in the footsteps of your wife, Targaryen Isa, and kill your mother with your own hands?"

Queen Millie became more and more excited as she spoke. But she realized that she was speaking with unparalleled passion.

But William Cam's gaze was indifferent; he looked at someone who had no relation to him whatsoever.

"Indeed! You are exactly like Sion Michael, even more wicked... At most, Sion Michael's actions harmed his Targaryen family. But you, as the Empress of the British Empire, will bring ruin upon the entire British Empire, you will drag it into an endless abyss..."

Upon hearing William Cam's words, Queen Millie looked at him and quickly said, "No...no...you're not my son...who are you...?"

Queen Millie looked at Boudica with agitated emotions: "Boudica, this isn't my son... Where have you taken my son... Tell me, where have you taken my son... Boudica... Who is this person? Where have you taken my son?"
