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

Upon hearing Yin Pan'er's words, Xiao Ce's smile immediately turned bitter.

"What you've said makes me sound like a player who falls in love with every girl he meets..."

Hearing Xiao Ce's words, Yin Pan'er smiled and waved her hand, saying, "I didn't mean that at all. I just think you have personal charm!"

Seeing Yin Pan'er's words, Xiao Ce smiled and took her hand: "Boudica has her own ideas... I can give her advice... However, I think it's also a good choice for her to stay here..."

"Actually, I've talked to her. On one hand, she genuinely wanted to help me, but on the other hand, she also wanted to fulfill her mother's unfinished wishes... And, as you've seen, how fast things are changing and how fast things are developing these days..."

"Do you remember what the situation was like when you were first exiled to the northern desert? And what is the situation like now? Looking back from that time, do you think you could have imagined that we would be in this situation today?"

Upon hearing Xiao Ce's words, Yin Pan'er shook her head firmly: "Of course not..."

Xiao Ce said, "From now on, this distance between us may not mean anything... Perhaps it will only take a day or two to get from here to my Great Xiao Kingdom..."

After hearing Xiao Ce's words, Yin Pan'er looked incredulous: "That's unlikely."

After listening to Yin Pan'er's words, Xiao Ce smiled and said, "Why is it impossible? Anything is possible... Can you understand the existence of a mad Taoist priest and someone who claims to be like me?"

After hearing Xiao Ce's words, Yin Pan'er smiled and nodded, "That's true..."

With that, Xiao Ce pulled Yin Pan'er back.

...

This mess was left to Boudica to clean up.

After all, it would be much better for Boudica to handle this matter.

Boudica is actually quite capable; back in that port in India, he was able to handle everything there.

Boudica first had Eliza categorize the Targaryen soldiers into several groups: those who were die-hard loyalists, those who were more loyal, and those who outwardly appeared loyal to Paul but actually identified more strongly with their identity as Targaryen soldiers...

Because Paul had Jordan, a close confidant of his, to handle this matter, it was not difficult.

There were two other groups of people whom Boudica released.

They then announced that the Targaryen army would continue to recruit, albeit with many restrictions.

These things are already in full swing.

...

Meanwhile, William Cam had already carried the bodies of William Barton and Millie El down the city wall.

After descending the city walls, the William family members saw the bodies of William Barton and Millie El.

Their people were furious.

Those illegitimate children, in particular, immediately rebelled.

William Cam was a ruthless man; without a word, he killed the illegitimate child...

Moreover, with the support of noble family heads, they killed a few who stood out.

No one dared to speak again.

Back in the royal castle, they were now in the council chamber.

The William family and Millie Al's maternal family, William Cam's maternal grandfather's family, were all present.

William Cam said directly, "Gentlemen, you all know the sins of my father and mother. Just like Isa, I had no choice! I have advised my father and mother many times that this is a challenge for our William family, and we absolutely cannot choose the wrong side."

"I've seen how powerful Frank's army is, so I advised them to listen to me and follow Boudica's advice. But they wouldn't listen; they insisted on having their cake and eating it too. There's no such thing as a free lunch..."

"They colluded with Paul and with Agent Yin of the East Asian Light Society. They were foolish not to know that Agent Yin had also been cooperating with them."

“I gave them a chance just now, but they didn’t cherish it, which led to this tragic death… I tried to persuade them… I had no choice; I had to kill them… Otherwise, you know, these nobles all support Boudica, and we face the same problem as the Targaryen family: one person dies, or an entire family dies…”

William Cam addressed the crowd with a reasoned and eloquent explanation.

Those who are able to participate at this time naturally understand this principle.

"Kam, we support you!"

"That's right, Cam, we support you. Your father and mother are indeed too ambitious, and that's fine, but they haven't assessed their own capabilities..."

"Yes, you almost killed us... Cam, we'll remember your kindness..."

Things went exceptionally smoothly here, with no one objecting.

Actually, a bigger reason was that several shadow guards were standing behind William Cam, holding assault rifles.

They held their rifles and aimed them at them.

If they dared to express a different opinion, it was obvious that these shadow guards would point their guns at them and start shooting.

William Cam naturally knew why everything had gone so smoothly.

William Cam continued, "Very well, then let's move on to the next topic..."

The members of the William and El family all nodded in agreement.

"So, who is the new patriarch of the William family...?"

Before William Cam could finish speaking, the people around him began to recommend him.

“William Cam, it has to be you. You are the heir, by all accounts...it has to be you…”

“Yes, William Cam, there can only be one heir... and that person is you!”

...

There's no need to think about it; these people all think the same way. Even if they don't, once their guns are pointed at them, they're all the same.

After listening to their words, William Cam didn't waste any time and said directly to them, "Very well! Let's vote by raising hands. Actually, I agree with what Miss Boudica said. You are free to not support me, you are free to openly reject me... but you cannot express your support and then betray me..."

"I respect your lack of support, and I will never blame you. However, if I find out that you supported me and then betrayed me... then I will absolutely not be polite to you..."

"Therefore, I hope you will think it over carefully before considering it..."

Sure enough, after William Cam said that, the people on this side fell into deep thought.

Those who were just casually talking about supporting William Cam are now starting to think things through.

However, some clever people, such as the Al family, were the first to express their support for William Cam.

In fact, for some families, kinship is actually quite weak.

They care more about interests, whoever can offer more benefits, or rather, whoever can guarantee their interests.

They just followed whoever they were.

Although Millie El is dead, William Cam still carries the blood of the El family in his veins.

Therefore, although Millie El was killed by William Cam, the reasons given by William Cam can be used to explain why.

That Millie Elle is despicable. Now, there's no need to even think about what to choose.

So the members of the El family were the first to raise their hands for William Cam: "I support..."

After the head of the El family raised his hand, everyone else followed suit and raised their hands in agreement.

At that moment, William's uncles naturally raised their hands in agreement.

As people raised their hands one after another, it was finally a unanimous vote.

They shared the same idea; as long as Obama could protect their interests, that was enough.

William Cam nodded in agreement: "Very well, since everyone supports me becoming the head of the William family, I can assure you that I will not allow your current interests to be harmed for a long time to come... and that you will be able to make significant progress..."

"But I need you to stand with me on the same side. Only when you are on my side can I help you. Do you understand?"

The group nodded in agreement, then said to William Cam, "William Cam, don't worry. Since we support you, we'll definitely follow you in everything from now on..."

“That’s right, William Cam, just repeat what we say. We’ll definitely support you…”

After listening to what these people were saying, William Cam smiled and nodded repeatedly: "Okay, that's all for now. Let's talk about one last thing."

These people were somewhat surprised to hear William Cam say this; they hadn't expected that William Cam would have something else to do at this time.

William Cam continued, “Very well, let’s move on to the last matter. Now that I am the head of the family, I am not the king! According to the laws of the British Empire, if I want to remain king, I need the support of the various cities… which is essentially an election… However, I have decided to withdraw from the royal election!”

After William Cam said this, everyone present nodded in agreement...

William Cam noticed that none of these people objected; on the contrary, they were very supportive...

William Cam looked surprised, then said, "None of you have any objections?"

A member of the William family said to William Cam, "Patriarch William Cam, it would be wise of you to retire now."

"It's Cam. Even someone a little dim-witted can see through this situation now... Boudica has such a powerful background; she clearly doesn't want to be the Targaryen patriarch. She's definitely going to do something much bigger in the future. The first step is naturally becoming the Queen of the British Empire. And then, doesn't she have this so-called Freedom Society? In the future, her Freedom Society will surely replace the entire Illuminati..."

"Not bad, not bad, you now have Miss Boudica's support. The more powerful she becomes, the better we can do by supporting her..."

After listening to what these people said, William Cam looked at them with some curiosity.

The expressions on the faces of those targeted by William Cam were not quite natural.

Seeing their expressions, William Cam quickly asked, "Your Highness William Cam, what...what's wrong?"

William Cam, listening to these people, quickly said, "Aren't you all very clear-headed people? Why don't you go and remind my father and mother? If you told them what you've seen and experienced, perhaps they wouldn't have ended up in this situation..."

Upon hearing William Cam's expression, these people said with grim faces, "Chief Cam, you can't blame us... Since your father became king, he's practically a dictator. When has he ever listened to anything we say? He won't listen to a single word we say..."

"Yes, yes, we've told him, and he not only doesn't listen, but he also punishes us... Tell me, tell me, after a while... who would want to keep talking to him..."

William Cam listened to everyone's words and smiled, "Alright... that's true. As the saying goes, you can never wake someone who's pretending to be asleep... This situation is perfect... Alright, since everyone here is intelligent... let's not waste any more words! Everyone sees the situation clearly, so let's work together..."

Upon hearing William Cam's words, these people nodded excitedly to him.

Immediately, some members of the William family said, "By the way, Chief Cam, these weapons are so powerful. You and Miss Boudica are such good friends, could you perhaps equip our entire William family army with such weapons..."

William Cam listened to his uncle's words, gave a wry smile, and then said, "Are you kidding me? You saw how powerful a hundred-man army is; how could they possibly equip our William family's army with such forces..."

"Don't even think about it. These are their assets. They'll definitely give these weapons to those they trust most... and it's obvious that we won't be on their list..."

William Cam paused for a moment, then continued, "Of course, there's another way..."

Upon hearing William Cam's words, these people immediately looked on with curiosity: "What method?"

William Cam said to them, "It's simple, it's about gaining their trust..."

Upon hearing William Cam's words, these people wore bitter expressions, clearly realizing that this matter was not so simple to handle.
