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

After the Fourth Director finished speaking, everyone subconsciously looked at Yin Pan'er.

At this point, the four cardinal masters had already given the order to leave, and everyone departed.

The four council members did not keep Yin Pan'er behind.

They then left.

After seeing them leave, Yin Pan'er also left.

Seeing that no one was around, Yin Pan'er asked Xiao Ce in a low voice, "Your Highness, was my impromptu performance alright?"

Xiao Ce smiled and nodded: "Excellent! Better than I imagined..."

Then, Xiao Ce said to Yin Pan'er, "What are you thinking? There are many things I didn't remind you of..."

Upon hearing Xiao Ce's words, Yin Pan'er broke into a bright smile, then said to him, "This is what I came up with myself later..."

Seeing this, Xiao Ce gave Yin Pan'er a thumbs up: "Your idea is brilliant! Excellent..."

Yin Pan'er said to Xiao Ce, "However, you really guessed right. He really did make me the commander-in-chief? But, Xiao Ce, why do you think they would do this? Wouldn't it have been better if he had told us beforehand?"

Xiao Ce shook his head and said, "Clearly, he initially wanted one of them to do it. The fact that you were asked to do it was entirely due to both sides making excuses, which obviously angered the Fourth Council Member, so he flipped the table..."

Yin Pan'er nodded: "Do you think they'll make things difficult for me?"

After hearing Yin Pan'er's words, Xiao Ce smiled and said, "Pan'er, don't you already have a solution in mind...? I've said it before, you don't need to deliberately flatter me to ask me questions... I don't mind that you're better than me..."

Yin Pan'er smiled awkwardly at Xiao Ce's words: "Did you see through me again? Anyway, I'd like to hear your opinion..."

Xiao Ce smiled, knowing Yin Pan'er was a thoughtful woman, and then said, "Actually, you don't need to be afraid of them making things difficult for you... Whoever makes things difficult for you, we'll crush them..."

Yin Pan'er was somewhat stunned when she heard Xiao Ce say that.

Xiao Ce said to Yin Pan'er, "Now that the four council members are supporting us... you still have me, you have enough confidence... what are we afraid of? So, they are being polite and willing to cooperate with us. We can let them live, but if these people don't appreciate our kindness, then we'll kill them, okay?"

Yin Pan'er was shocked when she heard Xiao Ce's words; she clearly hadn't expected him to say that.

Seeing Yin Pan'er's expression, Xiao Ce smiled and then asked, "Pan'er, what's wrong? Is there a problem?"

Yin Pan'er smiled at Xiao Ce and said, "I didn't expect you to be so assertive..."

Xiao Ce smiled at Yin Pan'er, then said, "Haha, the problem is that the current situation doesn't allow us to keep a low profile..."

Hearing Xiao Ce's words, Yin Pan'er was first taken aback, then, understanding perfectly, said to Xiao Ce, "Hahaha, it seems that's indeed the case now..."

Then Yin Pan'er said to Xiao Ce, "By the way, Your Highness, do you think we can be considered to be fighting on both sides?"

Xiao Ce said to Yin Pan'er, "Of course not. According to your plan, we don't need to fight Frank and his men. We just need to replenish the Lannister navy's strength from these people."

"Then, we'll just say we're going to negotiate with Frank... and then we'll say Frank has been absorbed into our ranks. There'll be no need for fighting at all. Even if there is to be a fight, it'll be the Targaryen families fighting each other..."

"If all else fails, we can bring the Brad family in... Once we bring the Brad family in, whatever happens in the British Empire won't be up to us to decide, right?"

“Those families are already feeling the pinch just from asking them to contribute money... It would be even more impossible for them to contribute manpower... So, we can say whatever we want when the time comes.”

As Xiao Ce spoke, Yin Pan'er listened and nodded repeatedly.

"Your Highness, you're right... So, what we need to do next is observe their specific response..."

Xiao Ce nodded to Yin Pan'er.

Yin Pan'er then asked Xiao Ce, "By the way, Your Highness, what kind of team do you think the Bright Guards they're talking about are? Are they like the Shadow Guards...?"

Xiao Ce nodded: "That's right. I just observed Ed White and Victor King, and their expressions clearly showed envy... So from this, we can tell that those people must be very powerful... But whether they're here to help us or to monitor us is hard to say..."

Yin Pan'er said to Xiao Ce, "We can go ask Fak!"

Xiao Ce nodded with a smile.

Yin Pan'er couldn't help but sigh, and said to Xiao Ce, "Your Highness, did you expect things to turn out this way?"

After hearing Yin Pan'er's words, Xiao Ce fell into deep thought...

He then shook his head and said to Yin Pan'er, "Of course I didn't expect this... But actually, along the way, nothing has ever gone according to our wishes... Everything has been unexpected..."

Seeing Yin Pan'er's somewhat hesitant expression, Xiao Ce continued, "Are you very nervous?"

After listening to Xiao Ce's words, Yin Pan'er nodded: "That's right. Although it seems like a good thing at the moment... I don't know the specifics of what's going on..."

Xiao Ce smiled at Yin Pan'er and then said, "It's a good thing, don't overthink it... Although I often say that when faced with a situation, we should consider both the best and worst possible outcomes, isn't worrying about something that's impossible just creating unnecessary anxiety? It's pointless..."

Yin Pan'er smiled and said to Xiao Ce, "So, we should think about the best possible outcome... that way, at least we can be happier, right?"

Xiao Ce said to Yin Pan'er, "Haha, that's great! We can be happy for as long as possible..."

Then, Xiao Ce said to Yin Pan'er, "Besides, the one who should be worried right now isn't me, but them..."

Yin Pan'er smiled and nodded: "However, we should cherish this rare and peaceful time. They won't be here for long..."

Xiao Ce smiled and nodded: "Of course, there's another possibility..."

After hearing Xiao Ce's words, Yin Pan'er naturally guessed what he meant, and then said to Xiao Ce, "Another possibility? You mean they're ignoring us?"

Xiao Ce nodded with a smile.

As they were talking, the two of them arrived at the cabin. Fak saw them return and immediately opened the door to greet them.

It's clear that Fak was very attentive.

Although Fak was very attentive, he didn't say anything unnecessary.

Looking at Fak's expression, Yin Pan'er then said to him, "Fak, do you know about the Light Guards?"

When Fak saw Yin Pan'er ask this, he was taken aback at first, then quickly nodded: "Of course... Acting Manager Yin, why are you suddenly asking about this? Has something happened?"

Yin Pan'er said to Fak, "It's not that, it's just that I overheard the Fourth Councilor saying he wanted to assign me a thousand Light Guards... I was wondering whether I should refuse... After all, ordinary guards aren't very useful. After all..."

Fak looked at Yin Pan'er and said anxiously, "Please don't refuse... Agent Yin, those Light Guards can't be bought with money!"

Upon hearing Fak's words, Yin Pan'er asked in surprise, "Oh? What is that Guardian of Light?"

Fak then explained to Yin Pan'er: "Agent Yin, the Light Guards, also known as the Light Personal Guards, are also called the Light Guards. These Light Guards are very powerful, and there are only three thousand of them in the entire guild. These three thousand Light Guards are selected from among tens of thousands, or even one in a million, from a young age, and then learn various skills and undergo various training."

"Because their training is extremely rigorous! So, not to mention the numerous selection processes, there are quite a few injuries and disabilities caused by training every year... The people inside are absolutely the elite of the elite... Any one of them can rival the top assassins... Although there are only three thousand of them, if they were deployed, it would be no surprise that they could hunt down all the powerful leaders in the entire Western world, paralyzing them completely..."

After hearing Fak's words, Yin Pan'er suddenly realized.

"I see! No wonder these people don't dare to challenge the leaders!"

Fak smiled at Yin Pan'er and then said, "That's right. Although the Bright Guards number three thousand, nobody knows where they are. If they really anger the headquarters, they really will deal with them..."

Yin Pan'er nodded: "So, if you give us a thousand Light Guards, we'll be very powerful?"

Fak nodded.

Yin Pan'er said, "Could those Light Guards be here to spy on us?"

Fak shook his head: "I'm not sure about that either... but it probably won't happen. Apparently, these Light Guardians have another advantage: once they're assigned to you, they'll listen to you. Even the Grand Chancellor couldn't command them before..."

Yin Pan'er was somewhat surprised after hearing Fak's words: "Then does that mean we can have them kill those cardinals?"

After listening to Yin Pan'er's words, Fak shook his head and said, "It probably won't work... but I'm not sure exactly..."

"However, if I could give you this many people, the benefits would definitely outweigh the drawbacks..."

As Fak spoke, a hint of worry appeared in his eyes.

It was obvious that Fak felt that Yin Pan'er and the head of the General Association had become so close.

He seemed to be thinking about all the things he had said to the councilors before.

Seeing Fak's hesitant expression, Xiao Ce quickly smiled and said, "Fak, don't worry..."

After hearing Xiao Ce's words, Fak looked at Xiao Ce with some surprise in his eyes, as if asking a question.

How did you know what I was worried about?

Xiao Ce said to Fak, "Are you worried that the better our relationship with the Fourth Grand Master, the more likely we are to leak the things you've been saying to us..."

Fak gave an awkward smile.

Xiao Ce smiled slightly and said to Fak, "You can rest assured, we're not that kind of people. Our cooperation with the Fourth Privy Councilor is entirely a matter of principle... it doesn't mean we agree with any of their approaches..."

After listening to Xiao Ce's words, Fak nodded and looked at him gratefully.

Then I still had something to say.

Xiao Ce said to Fak, "Fak, just say what you want to say... no need to beat around the bush..."

Fak looked at Xiao Ce, then nodded: "Sir, Acting Director Yin, since the Four Privy Council members are willing to give you even the Light Guard, it means they definitely approve of you... Could you please take me back instead...?"

"While I may not be as powerful as Guangwei, I can absolutely guarantee my absolute loyalty to you..."

Seeing that Xiao Ce remained silent, Fak continued, "If you don't trust me, you don't have to give me the antidote. If the four council members agree to give me to you and let me follow you, they will definitely provide enough antidote... Then you can use drugs to continue controlling me..."

Xiao Ce was somewhat surprised after hearing Fak's words: "Oh? Didn't you always want to get rid of these poisons in your body? Why don't you need to now?"

Fak smiled at Xiao Ce, then said, "I sought the cure for my poison for freedom... and I've discovered that by following you, I can gain freedom, so whether the poison in my body is cured or not doesn't matter anymore..."

After listening to Fak's words, Xiao Ce asked directly, "So you're really free now? Aren't you still bound by the antidote?"

Fak smiled at Xiao Ce and then said, "Sir, freedom is relative. According to you, even though I've recovered from the poison, I'm still not free... As long as I'm free compared to before, that's enough..."

Xiao Ce looked at Fak's expectant face, and what he said now seemed to make a lot of sense.

Xiao Ce then said to Fak, "No problem, I can agree to that..."

Upon hearing Xiao Ce's words, Fak became excited, but subconsciously glanced at Yin Pan'er.

Although he knew that Xiao Ce's words carried weight, he still felt that Yin Pan'er was his master.

So, he looked at Yin Pan'er questioningly.

Yin Pan'er smiled at him and then said, "What you mean is what I mean... However, I only have one request: I don't ask for your absolute loyalty, just don't betray us!!"
