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

Yin Pan'er said to Xiao Ce, "So, can we just wait quietly now?"

After hearing Yin Pan'er's words, Xiao Ce said, "Of course, but naturally we can't just sit and wait to die."

Yin Pan'er smiled at Xiao Ce and said, "That's right, that's indeed the case. So, we should take it one step at a time?"

Xiao Ce nodded.

Seeing Xiao Ce say this, Yin Pan'er smiled and then said, "Your Highness, you really have changed a lot."

Xiao Ce smiled at Yin Pan'er and then said, "Do you feel that I'm not planning things out anymore?"

Yin Pan'er nodded.

Xiao Ce said, "Before, when I was in Xiao Kingdom, I was able to have everything under control. That was entirely because I had absolute control over the environment in Xiao Kingdom... But the situation now is beyond my control... There are too many variables. If I were to follow the same path as before, thinking a hundred steps ahead for every one step I took, wouldn't that just cause trouble?"

After hearing Xiao Ce's words, Yin Pan'er smiled broadly and said, "That's right, that's indeed the case... I wonder if they've started their operation yet?"

Xiao Ce glanced at the sky, then said to Yin Pan'er, "Judging by the time, they should have already started their operation..."

"No need to rush, it's just a few small karami, nothing to worry about..."

Yin Pan'er smiled at Xiao Ce, then said, "Indeed..."

On the other side, Xiao Ce was completely at ease.

But Morgana was very nervous, just as she herself said.

Governing the country is indeed his forte, but leading troops into battle is not.

Although this doesn't count as leading troops into battle.

However, the people here are also very dangerous. They have already deployed snipers at the highest points in the entire city.

The courtyard where they lived, and the alleys around it, were already teeming with their people.

He was confident that if they dared to come out, he could riddle them with bullets.

Morgana also felt that taking them down wasn't difficult, but keeping them all alive was truly not an easy task...

Fortunately, Xiao Ce didn't put any pressure on him.

It doesn't matter that everything Xiao Ce told her is dead...

However, Morgana knew very well that Xiao Ce had always been a very easy-going person.

He couldn't just refuse to do it if Xiao Ce didn't ask.

Seeing that it was almost time, they sneaked in by climbing over the wall.

The assassins on guard quickly discovered it.

The assassin here was no pushover; instead of retaliating immediately, he blew a loud whistle.

With a sharp whistle, they opened fire.

bang bang bang...

They attacked his hands and feet directly, so they attacked him like that.

He knocked the assassin down in no time.

Soon, some assassins came out, and they were clearly surprised to see so many guards.

Because at that moment, they shared the same thoughts as the old woman.

They all thought that no one would discover them.

However, in this situation, they were stunned for a few seconds.

In those few seconds, Morgana's guards were no pushovers either.

They opened fire immediately, and after taking down several assassins, they...

The assassins quickly began to retaliate.

It was because the old woman was too confident that even after they came over, they were not in a hurry to get the gun.

Therefore, these assassins can only use throwing knives.

As the saying goes, even the best kung fu master is afraid of a kitchen knife, let alone one wielding a gun and the other a cold weapon.

No matter how many tricks they have, they can't use them.

Because the area is too small, and Morgana has an absolute advantage.

After they had secured the courtyard, the leading commanders spoke up: "You have one last minute. If you come out with your hands behind your heads and surrender, we will spare your lives... But if you resist, we will slaughter you..."

The head guard shouted a few times towards the house.

Inside the house, the old woman wore a terrified expression; she never imagined things would turn out this way...

The assassins standing nearby all turned to look at the old woman.

"What should we do? Judging from their appearance, they seem to have come prepared. The main problem is that we don't even have any weapons to fight back?"

"Madam, we have no other confidence, but we still have the capability to trade one for one..."

"That's right, let's fight them!"

These assassins were quite tough; none of them were cowards, and they were all incredibly courageous.

They were all going out to fight the guards outside to the death.

Seeing their agitated state, the old woman said, "This time, I truly underestimated them... But how did they know...?"

Hearing the countdown begin outside, the assassin said to the old woman, "Madam, shouldn't we be thinking about how they found out? We should be thinking about what we do now."

The old woman said to the assassin, "Surrender!"

"What?" The assassins stared at the old woman in disbelief.

"If we fall into their hands, we're doomed...no, we'll suffer a fate worse than death...they'll definitely torture us..."

"That's right, Madam. We'd rather die than fall into their hands. They'll make us wish we were dead..."

After hearing what the assassins said, the old woman asked them, "What, are you afraid?"

The assassins naturally shook their heads: "We are not afraid of death, of course, but we don't know what they will do if we fall into their hands. We are afraid we won't be able to withstand the torture... and will betray our master..."

The old woman said to the assassins, "You are professionals, you are trained... Our only chance of survival is to surrender. You should know that the little Luna next to Morgana is one of our people... She may not know, but if she did, she would definitely save us... And aren't you trained?"

After hearing the old woman's words, the assassins nodded and then said to her, "Madam, you're right... We have indeed been trained. We're not actually worried about ourselves... We don't actually know much..."

After one assassin spoke, the others nodded in agreement. They then said to the old woman, "Madam, we were actually worried that you wouldn't be able to withstand their torture and interrogation. We've all undergone this training ourselves, and we know that you might not be able to..."

After hearing the assassin's words, the old woman smiled at them and said, "Alright, you don't need to worry about me anymore... Do you think I'm some ordinary person just because our master sent us to lead you?"

After hearing the old woman's words, the assassin nodded and then said, "So what do you mean?"

The old woman said to the assassins, "Let us face death without fear. There are many ways to die, certainly not this humiliating one. Don't worry, someone will come to rescue us. And the responsibility for this lies with me; I will take full responsibility..."

The assassins didn't show much emotion after hearing the old woman's words.

Meanwhile, the countdown had already begun outside.

The old woman was quite bold at this moment, and she started shouting directly outside.

"Wait...wait! We surrender..."

The old woman then followed the instructions of the people outside and began to put her hands behind her head.

They went out in a neat and orderly fashion.

The guard captain here remained very vigilant, after all, things had gone too smoothly for them.

When they went to attack Ens Manor before, they encountered eight assassins, which caused them considerable losses...

With so many assassins around, they found it hard to believe that these assassins would actually surrender so readily.

However, after the old woman and her group came out, the guards all knelt down in a very proper manner.

Then they put their hands behind their heads, and several guards went over to check them before tying them up.

After tying them up, they were arrested one by one.

Everything went very smoothly, even after the last guards checked their quarters.

Only then did I realize that there was indeed no foul play involved.

Morgana, who had been overseeing the battle from a distance, saw this scene and stared wide-eyed for a moment before regaining her senses.

It wasn't until all these people were arrested and imprisoned that this happened.

Morgana looked at Luna in disbelief and said, "Luna, pinch me! Am I dreaming? How did everything go so smoothly?"

After hearing Morgana's words, Luna smiled and said to Morgana, "Lady Morgana, you're not dreaming. The reason they agreed so readily is for two reasons."

Morgana looked at Luna with curiosity after hearing her say that.

Luna smiled and then said to Morgana, "Lady Morgana, firstly, they saw this situation and were definitely not expecting it. They had no room for resistance, so rather than die in vain, they might as well surrender. After all, we gave them the option to surrender."

"So, given any chance of survival, none of them want to die. I believe the reason they agreed so readily is because they've seen me; they know my identity as someone close to you. Since I can get that robot, I can also save them... They must have placed their hopes on me..."

After hearing Luna's words, Morgana still thought it was very possible and nodded. Then she said to Luna, "Luna, you're right... So would you do it?"

After hearing Morgana's words, Luna immediately replied, "Of course not..."

Then Luna turned to Morgana and said, "No..."

Upon hearing Luna's words, Morgana immediately looked at Luna with a wary expression.

Little Luna grinned at Morgana, then said, "Lady Morgana, don't be nervous. You've helped me so much, how could I betray you..."

Morgana smiled at Luna and then said, "Of course I believe you, but I always feel a little nervous listening to you."

Little Luna smiled and said, "What I mean is, I definitely need to consult Lady Morgana before I can do anything. If you tell me to do it, I won't. If you don't tell me to, I certainly won't do it..."

Morgana smiled broadly after hearing Luna's words and then said, "That's alright... So do you think someone will come looking for you?"

Little Luna shook her head: "I don't know about that, but if anyone comes looking for me again, I'll definitely keep an eye on them..."

Morgana nodded.

Luna then turned to Morgana and asked, "Lady Morgana, what should we do next?"

Morgana smiled broadly after hearing Luna's words, and then said to Luna, "Luna, let's lock these people up first, and then go report to Mr. Ce."

Morgana and Luna first went to imprison those people.

Then he went to find Xiao Ce, but it was almost dawn before he went to find Xiao Ce.

Morgana knew Xiao Ce would get up early, and he wouldn't mind taking a little more time.

So they simply waited at Xiao Ce's residence.

After waiting at the door for a while, sure enough, Xiao Ce got up.

When Xiao Ce woke up, he saw Morgana standing there.

"Morgana, why are you up so early?"

Seeing Morgana's tired expression, Xiao Ce said to her, "Morgana, you haven't slept all night, have you? What happened?"

Xiao Ce hadn't heard much commotion, so he knew everything must be going very smoothly over there...

He went to rest, and now he sees Morgana coming over like this.

Xiao Ce immediately became a little nervous.

Seeing Xiao Ce's expression, Morgana smiled at him and said, "Mr. Ce, don't be nervous, it's nothing, it's nothing. I just wanted to give you a brief report. It's not long since you woke up, so I didn't want to disturb you... If I really had something urgent, I would have woken you up directly, wouldn't you say?"

After hearing Morgana's words, Xiao Ce smiled and said, "That's right, that makes sense... I'm relieved. Did things go well for you last night?"

Following Xiao Ce's words, Morgana smiled and said to him, "Mr. Ce, thanks to you, everything went smoothly... even more smoothly than I imagined..."

Morgana then recounted the events of the previous night to Xiao Ce.

Xiao Ce was somewhat surprised after hearing this: "I didn't expect it to go so smoothly!"
