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

The old woman glanced directly at the carriage behind Luna and asked Luna, "Is anyone inside?"

Little Luna glanced at the old woman who was scrutinizing her, but did not answer directly.

The old woman continued, "Don't look at us like that, we're one of us..."

As she spoke, the old woman took out a badge.

After seeing the badge, Luna finally answered, "Yes, he's in the box inside, but he seems to have some problems... Do you need to check him out?"

The old woman waved her hand and said, "No need, just leave the carriage with me! Someone will come to collect it later..."

As the old woman spoke, she opened the carriage door directly.

After the car door was opened, the old woman glanced at the box, then took a seal from her person, affixed it, and nodded at the signature area on both sides.

Little Luna then took out a pendant that she had put around her neck. The pendant twisted and turned into a badge pattern.

The old woman was somewhat surprised to see the badge on Little Luna's pendant.

However, this surprised expression was fleeting.

As the old woman spoke, she took out an inkpad, and then little Luna signed and stamped it with practiced ease.

Little Luna said to the old woman, "If you need my carriage, then you'll have to give me a horse..."

The old woman waved her hand, then said to little Luna, "No..."

Little Luna said bitterly, "Then you'll have to let me have my carriage..."

The old woman refused outright, saying, "That won't do either. This is a single piece; otherwise, they won't be able to take it away later..."

Seeing that they were unyielding, Luna gave up trying to reason with them.

He got off the carriage and handed it over to the old woman.

The old woman took the carriage and jumped onto it immediately. Although she looked quite old, she was still very old.

But her movements were still very agile…

At that moment, the old woman didn't say another word to little Luna and drove the carriage directly into Ensemble Manor.

Little Luna wanted to see, but after the carriage went in, the manor gates were immediately closed.

Seeing this, Luna smiled helplessly: "Now we can only walk back..."

Little Luna walked back, and because it was late at night, there were no passing carriages along the way.

Furthermore, since Lingas City was renamed the Free Federation, although trade still exists, it has decreased significantly compared to before.

At this moment, although the port is open to traffic, there are many restrictions, which greatly reduces the number of people allowed in.

Meanwhile, internal reforms were also underway within the British Empire.

Subsequently, Targaryen Boudica possessed the most advanced weaponry, which led to the submission of the local nobles to him.

However, their submission is mostly superficial...

Therefore, Targaryen Boudica still has a long way to go.

That's why this place seems rather desolate.

However, they didn't care at all... After all, this was just a growing pain brought about by reform.

Little Luna wasn't in a hurry, and slowly walked back along the road.

...

Meanwhile, inside the Ensemble, the old woman had a servant close the door.

Then we arrived at a small wooden cabin near the entrance.

The old woman wrote a few notes in the cabin and then released them out on a carrier pigeon.

He ignored the carriage parked at the door and continued to light an oil lamp.

He then began to flip through a yellowed leather book.

The entire environment was quiet and eerie, with only a brazier in the center.

The only sound in the room was the crackling of the firewood in the brazier.

There was also the sound of turning pages of a leather book.

After a while, a knocking sound came from outside the house.

The old woman didn't let anyone in, she just used her voice, which sounded like a broken gong.

He addressed the room directly, asking, "How is it?"

A man's voice came from outside. Without any preamble, he said directly to the old woman, "She came alone and has no tail...she's safe."

The old woman spoke to the man's voice, then said, "Very well, then you should go and rest."

After the man agreed, he didn't say anything more and left with a bow.

The old woman remained silent, continuing to peruse the yellowed leather book in her hands...

...

It wasn't until the next day, when dawn was just breaking, that things finally started to get light.

Morgana woke up early and asked another maid beside her.

"Is Little Luna back?"

The maid shook her head.

Morgana watched as the sky began to brighten and then said nothing more.

Morgana got up immediately; she hadn't really slept well at all...

I spent the whole night in a state of half-sleep and half-awake.

Because he didn't know where Luna had gone, nor did he know if she would come back after she left.

Actually, Morgana had planned to send someone to follow Luna yesterday.

Xiao Ce rejected the idea, meaning that if the person behind Luna discovered who was following her, it would be a problem.

So, the person behind them must have discovered that Luna had been exposed, right?

After hearing Xiao Ce's words, Morgana felt that what he said made sense.

So Morgana didn't follow Luna's lead.

No one was allowed to follow Luna.

However, to be honest, Morgana is still a little unsure...

He didn't know whether what he did was right or wrong.

Morgana went out with some anxiety in her heart...

After she went outside, she was somewhat surprised to find that Xiao Ce had already woken up.

At this moment, Xiao Ce and Da Lei were practicing their boxing.

Although the two were practicing boxing, their punches were almost always delivered with a visceral impact.

While practicing boxing with Xiao Ce, Da Lei said to Xiao Ce, "Your Highness, those robots are already so powerful now, why are you starting to train them again?"

Xiao Ce had actually stopped training for a long time. Of course, at that time, he stopped entirely because there were just too many trivial matters, which completely distracted him...

However, there is no other reason for picking it up again now.

Even if he wanted those robots to come and attack him, at least he should have the ability to escape.

"That's precisely why we need to train... We don't have to be able to beat them, but at least we should be able to outrun them. In any case, improving our physical fitness is a good thing..."

"Think about it, people can choke to death while drinking water, and they can choke to death while eating. But just because someone might choke to death while drinking water or choke to death while eating doesn't mean they won't eat or drink. Simply put, we can't throw the baby out with the bathwater..."

Hearing Xiao Ce say this, Da Lei smiled, then gave Xiao Ce a thumbs up and said, "That's right, that's indeed the point..."

"However, Your Highness, your skills are truly getting better and better... You're not only intelligent, you also have considerable talent in martial arts..."

Xiao Ce listened to Da Lei's praise and a proud expression appeared on his face.

But his fists didn't stop, and his body reacted with remarkable agility in the first instant...

"You old bastard, you're trying to trick me..."

As Da Lei praised Xiao Ce, his hands became even more swift and decisive.

The punches and kicks didn't stop; instead, they became even more ferocious...

Da Lei smiled憨厚ly, "Your Highness, without doing this, it really won't be so easy for me to defeat you..."

The two then engaged in another fierce battle for ten minutes.

Morgana, who was standing nearby, was stunned when she saw this.

Because Morgana always believed that Xiao Ce was a person who always used his brain...

But I never expected him to be so skilled.

Not only was he skilled in martial arts, but he also looked quite thin, though Xiao Ce had taken off his shirt at this moment.

The muscle definition on his body was very clear...

He looks slim in clothes but has a muscular physique when undressed; that must be a perfect description of Xiao Ce.

Just then, Xiao Ce and Da Lei finished their battle.

Xiao Ce finished putting on his clothes, turned to Morgana and said, "Morgana, you were looking for me?"

In fact, Xiao Ce had already noticed Morgana standing here watching.

The reason I ignored her was because I was completely engrossed in my fight with Da Lei.

Moreover, Xiao Ce also figured that Morgana should be alright.

He would always interrupt her if there was an urgent matter.

Morgana wasn't actually looking for Xiao Ce; she stopped to watch because she was completely captivated by their fight.

Morgana quickly waved her hand at Xiao Ce and said, "Mr. Ce, it's nothing...it's nothing...I just happened to be passing by and saw you and Mr. Da Lei practicing your boxing, that's why I was drawn to it..."

"I never expected Mr. Ce, who looks so frail, to be so skilled in martial arts..."

After hearing Morgana's words, Xiao Ce smiled and said, "It's been a while since I've practiced, so I'm a bit rusty..."

As Xiao Ce spoke, he realized he might have been too immodest. He smiled, and before Morgana could respond, he changed the subject and asked directly to her, "Morgana, has Little Luna returned?"

After hearing Xiao Ce bring up serious matters, Morgana replied, "No, I'm just worried because she hasn't come back... I suspect she might have run away?"

Upon hearing Morgana's words, Xiao Ce smiled broadly, then waved his hand and said, "There's no need for that suspicion..."

Morgana said to Xiao Ce, "Oh? Why do you say that?"

Xiao Ce said to Morgana, "Don't worry, if he wants to run away, he doesn't need to waste his breath talking to you. Wouldn't it be better to just run away? Why bother talking to you?"

Morgana smiled broadly after hearing Xiao Ce's words, and then said, "That's right, Mr. Ce, now that you mention it, it does seem to make sense..."

"Could she be in any danger?"

Xiao Ce shook his head: "I don't know either, Morgana. Don't worry. Don't be too nervous... everything will be fine..."

It was quite a coincidence that after Xiao Ce said that...

A sound came from outside the door, and a maid rushed to Morgana's side.

"Ms. Morgana, little Luna is here..."

Morgana asked, somewhat surprised, "Where? Where are they?"

At that moment, the maid glanced from behind and saw a slightly disheveled figure, soaking wet.

I saw what little Luna looks like.

Morgana looked at Luna with a surprised expression and asked, "Luna, what's wrong with you?"

Little Luna gave an awkward smile and said, "Lady Morgana...it's a long story."

Luna just glanced at the people around her.

Morgana then called to Luna, "We'll talk about it later. First, let me take you to change your clothes..."

Morgana then said to Xiao Ce, "Mr. Ce, Luna and I will come over later."

Xiao Ce smiled, then said to Morgana, "No rush...you guys go about your own business first..."

Morgana nodded with a smile.

Then they took Luna back and had her wash up first.

After Luna finished changing her clothes, she said to Morgana, "Lady Morgana, after I delivered that robot yesterday, they requisitioned my carriage and gave me nothing... I had to walk back..."

"As a result, I encountered a strange downpour halfway there, so I ran into the woods to find some trees to take shelter from the rain. But then I fell into a forest trap... Luckily, it was an abandoned one and not very deep. After struggling for a while, I finally managed to get out... That's why I walked back looking so disheveled..."

After Luna said that, Morgana still received quite a bit of information.

The simplest explanation is that the robot they sent wasn't far away.

Otherwise, if he left in the first half of the night and was going to come back, it would be impossible for him to return in such a short time.

Seeing Morgana's thoughtful expression, Luna said to her, "Lady Morgana, do you want to know where I sent the robot?"

Morgana looked at Luna and smiled, then said, "Not bad, can I tell you this?"

Upon hearing Morgana's words, Luna smiled brightly and said to Morgana, "Of course... of course I can say it... what can't I say... Lady Morgana, after this journey, I understand even more clearly that you are the one who truly considers me one of your own... they just used me as a pawn... as long as it doesn't involve principles, I will naturally speak with you..."

"It involves principles, and I can't say... It's not that I'm trying to protect them, but because of my family..."

Morgana heard about this from Luna...

However, I didn't quite understand before... but now I do understand, so I asked Luna, "Were your family members kidnapped by them?"

Upon hearing this, Luna quickly waved her hand.
