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

After hearing Xiao Ce's words, Jones Snow nodded and bowed, saying with a fawning expression, "Yes, yes, yes... Boss Ce, you're right..."

After saying this, Jones Snow turned to those around him and said, "All of you, let them go... Don't you all have any sense? Can't you see these are my boss's men? You're still arresting them..."

"I'm talking to you... Talk to me, be polite..."

As he spoke, Jon Snow cursed and swore at the pirates around him.

After Jones Snow finished speaking, he looked at Xiao Ce.

"Boss, are you going directly to the ports of the British Empire, or...?"

Xiao Ce said to Jones Snow, "Take me straight to Frank. Let's go to the port of Lingas City..."

After listening to Xiao Ce's words, Jones Snow nodded and said, "Alright... So, do you want to board our ship, or should I escort you?"

Xiao Ce said to Jones Snow, "Do whatever is convenient for you."

Jones Snow nodded, still displaying obsequious respect as he addressed Xiao Ce, "Yes, yes, Lord Xiao Ce, rest assured... You may continue to rest here, I will take you back to port..."

Jones Snow, looking embarrassed, said to Xiao Ce, "Lord Ce, I'm so sorry to have disturbed your peaceful sleep..."

Upon hearing Jones Snow's words, Xiao Ce smiled broadly and said, "I didn't even inform you... how would you know this ship is mine... Alright, enough with the formalities, I know you're just doing your duty... Alright, enough talk, let's go rest..."

Jones Snow said to Xiao Ce, "Yes, sir..."

Seeing that Jones Snow seemed to have a lot to say, Xiao Ce yawned twice and then said, "Do you have something to say to me?"

Jones Snow nodded, then said to Xiao Ce, "Boss Ce, I do have something to say to you... but there's no rush... you should rest first, and we can talk after you've rested... it's nothing urgent, I just wanted to report on my work..."

Looking at Jones Snow's respectful expression, Xiao Ce could tell that this kid really wanted to improve.

Xiao Ce patted Jones Snow on the shoulder: "Alright, then wait until I wake up..."

After saying that, Xiao Ce and Yin Pan'er went back to rest.

I went back to sleep and woke up the next day when it was fully light.

Xiao Ce woke up groggily, but the rocking of the boat still alerted him.

He is still on the ship at this moment...

Yin Pan'er was also a very light sleeper, and Xiao Ce also stirred.

Yin Pan'er woke up groggily.

Seeing this, Xiao Ce looked at Yin Pan'er with tenderness, then said with a smile, "Did I wake you up...?"

Upon hearing Xiao Ce's words, Yin Pan'er smiled and shook her head: "No, Your Highness, these past few nights with you have been the sweetest and most comfortable sleep I've ever had..."

Yin Pan'er's fair face was flushed with pink, and her eyes were filled with love.

After witnessing this scene, Xiao Ce said to Yin Pan'er, "Pan'er, you've worked hard following me..."

As Xiao Ce spoke, he helped Yin Pan'er, who was nestled in his arms, tidy up her messy hair.

Yin Pan'er smiled brightly at Xiao Ce and said, "It wasn't hard work at all... On the contrary, I feel very fortunate..."

Looking at Yin Pan'er's eyes, which were smiling like crescent moons, Xiao Ce asked with some surprise, "Feeling fortunate?"

Yin Pan'er nodded to Xiao Ce and then said, "That's right, I'm just glad. Actually, many ordinary people would never have experienced what I've gone through in several lifetimes. In fact, many people repeat their lives day after day, seeing the end from the beginning! But I experience different things, meet different people, and face different challenges every day."

Xiao Ce smiled at Yin Pan'er and then said, "That's right, that's true... But don't you feel tired?"

Yin Pan'er still had a bright smile on her face, then shook her head: "Not tired... Your Highness, do you still remember one of your famous sayings?"

Upon hearing Yin Pan'er's words, Xiao Ce seemed to fall into deep thought. After considering it for a while, he shook his head.

Then, turning to Yin Pan'er, he said, "What famous quote? To be honest, I've said many famous quotes..."

Seeing Xiao Ce's words, Yin Pan'er smiled and nodded, "That's indeed the case..."

Xiao Ce smiled at Yin Pan'er and then asked, "Which sentence?"

“Being tired means you’re alive; comfort is for the dead!” Yin Pan’er said to Xiao Ce.

After hearing Yin Pan'er's words, Xiao Ce said somewhat noncommittally, "Did I really say that?"

Yin Pan'er nodded affirmatively.

Xiao Ce muttered to himself, "This kind of toxic motivational talk...you can't take it to heart...I must have said it when I was trying to persuade or brainwash someone, right?"

Upon hearing Xiao Ce's words, Yin Pan'er nodded with a smile: "Your Highness, that's right... You said it when you were mobilizing the disaster victims at the Northern Desert Prince's Mansion. In fact, you also played a crucial role in their achievements... Everyone remembers what you said..."

After hearing Yin Pan'er's words, Xiao Ce gave a wry smile and waved his hand, saying, "I was just trying to fool the people into working willingly... The idea itself is flawed... No one is born to suffer, no one wants to live a hard life, isn't that just being a cheapskate? Don't believe my toxic motivational talk..."

Seeing Xiao Ce's expression, Yin Pan'er chuckled and said with a smile, "Your Highness... the problem is, everyone thinks what you said makes sense... and you say that people should live comfortably, but haven't you been causing trouble all along? You could have just given up and stopped, or you could have made Xiao Kingdom very powerful by simply managing it properly, but you still keep causing trouble from time to time?"

Upon hearing Yin Pan'er's words, Xiao Ce couldn't help but chuckle and said, "That's not how it works. I was actually being pushed along, step by step, passively... My goal was simply to conquer the Xiao Kingdom. Later, the Western world instigated the Japanese to invade us. To eliminate the threat completely, I had no choice but to do that..."

"Later, I only did this because I was forced into it step by step by the Illuminati. As for coming to the Western world, it was never my original intention... My original intention was actually very simple: I wanted to find you... However, I discovered someone else who looked exactly like me... You see, one thing leads to another, leaving me helplessly dealing with everything..."

After hearing Xiao Ce's words, Yin Pan'er looked at him with emotion once again.

Xiao Ce naturally knew what Yin Pan'er was going to say, and directly said to her, "Alright, no need for words of gratitude... because if it weren't for me, you wouldn't have suffered so much..."

Upon hearing Xiao Ce's words, Yin Pan'er quickly shook her head, then said to Xiao Ce with great certainty, "Your Highness, I...I don't think this is true at all...and all of this was done voluntarily..."

Xiao Ce smiled and said to Yin Pan'er, "Just because you did it voluntarily doesn't mean I should take it for granted, don't you think...?"

Upon hearing Xiao Ce's words, Yin Pan'er looked at him with gratitude.

Xiao Ce noticed the conversation was heading in an emotional direction.

He deliberately changed the subject, saying, "Logically speaking, it should be here by now... why isn't it here yet?"

After hearing Xiao Ce's words,

Yin Pan'er glanced out the window and then said to Xiao Ce, "They should be here soon, let's go out and take a look."

When the two went out again, Da Lei was waiting at the door.

Da Lei said to Xiao Ce, "Your Highness, you're awake..."

Xiao Ce nodded, then said to Da Lei, "Why haven't they arrived yet? Is there some problem?"

Da Lei said to Xiao Ce, "The British Channel is heavily fortified. Although Jon Snow was there to explain, it seems that at each checkpoint, Jon Snow needs to be checked and explained again... which caused the delay... Now I hear we've passed the last checkpoint and will soon reach the port of Lingas City..."

After hearing Da Lei's words, Xiao Ce nodded and said, "That's true..."

After they went up to the deck, the original ten ships were reduced to one escort ship.

According to Jones Snow, this place is now absolutely safe.

Da Lei is absolutely right, we're almost there...

By this time, quite a few ships could be vaguely seen.

Yin Pan'er said to Xiao Ce, "Your Highness, I never expected it to become so lively here... I never imagined it."

Xiao Ce smiled slightly at Yin Pan'er and then said, "Not bad... It seems they have developed their own system."

After their ship docked, Xiao Ce discovered that there were already many transport ships here.

However, they all seem to be under strict surveillance.

Even their ships need to go through inspection after entering the port...

Jones Snow sent a ship to pick up Xiao Ce.

“Boss Ce, all the ships we bring into the port need to be inspected. You can only enter by taking a shuttle boat.”

Xiao Ce naturally cooperated, saying to Jones Snow, "Jones Snow, Frank is quite capable; he's managed this place very well."

Jones Snow nodded in agreement after hearing Xiao Ce's words: "That's right, Boss Ce, we're all quite surprised. We thought Boss Frank was good at naval warfare, but we didn't expect him to be so good at management as well..."

After listening to Jones's words, Xiao Ce smiled and then said that although he was surprised, he wasn't that surprised.

Frank's ability to previously cause headaches for the entire Western world is enough to prove his capabilities...

Frank, who was only good at naval warfare but didn't know how to manage, could not have made his pirate organization survive for so long.

“That’s right, Jones Snow. Weren’t you with Morgana in Lingas City? How come you’re at sea now…?”

Jones Snow smiled after hearing Xiao Ce's words, then said to him, "Boss Ce, what I wanted to talk to you about is actually this..."

After hearing what Jones Snow said, Xiao Ce looked at him but did not interrupt.

Jones Snow said to Xiao Ce, "Boss Ce, it's because Morgana has managed Lingas City very well now, and everything is on track. Everyone there is equal, the rule of law is clear, and everyone supports her. There's nothing we need to do."

"Although I managed to get a minor official position over there thanks to our relationship, my heart wasn't in it... I felt that the sea would definitely present many dangers and challenges... So I figured that when doing something, you should always choose the difficult ones... That's why I joined the navy. I'm currently on patrol duty..."

Xiao Ce said to Jones Snow, "Don't you have a blood feud on your shoulders?"

Jones Snow said to Xiao Ce, "Queen Boudica has sent him to me, and I personally killed him..."

Xiao Ce was still somewhat surprised after hearing Jones Snow's words: "Boudica? The Queen?"

After hearing Xiao Ce's words, Jones Snow looked at him with surprise and said, "Boss Ce, didn't you know?"

Xiao Ce shook his head, then said to Jones Snow, "Well, I really don't know... when did this happen? I only know that there's no one left to compete..."

Jones Snow said to Xiao Ce, "It's only been a few days. Before, she was only tacitly recognized as Queen, but now the ceremony has been held, and she has officially become Queen of the British Empire..."

Xiao Ce said to Jones Snow, "So, you are now the head of the Jones family?"

Jones Snow nodded: "That's true... However, I don't really have any thoughts on this... Actually, after going through so much, we still need to have our own power, and I also need to work hard on my own."

"I think you're a genius, Boss Ce. If I follow in your footsteps, I'm confident I can build an even more powerful family than any I've inherited..."

After hearing Jones Snow's words, Xiao Ce nodded approvingly and gave him a thumbs up: "You have guts... But you haven't seen me before, aren't you afraid I'll forget you?"

Jones Snow smiled and shook his head: "Didn't you say that gold always shines?"
