Lord Chapter 636

Chapter 636 A Letter from Lilith That Was Written Before Her Death

“Sure. I’ll give Willow another call to ask her about the situation. I hope that she can help us,” Melinda said before ending the call and dialing Willow’s number again.

“Hello? What do you want this time?” Willow asked exasperatedly.

“Willow, Alicia told me that Henry didn’t do anything against Diatoran despite having thoughts about defecting to the enemy. He was roughed up badly by the enemy troops, too. You saw it.

“That proves he never defected to the enemy. If he had done so, the enemy troops would’ve treated him well instead of beating him into a pulp,” Melinda said.

“We’ll discuss this after Caspian comes back. He’ll surely know what’s up with that,” Willow said.

“Sure. You must try to paint Henry in a better light in front of Caspian, or he’ll end up dead,” Melinda said.

“Okay. If Henry hasn’t betrayed Diatoran in any way, I’ll try to help him. I can’t say for sure if Caspian is willing to release him, though,” Willow replied.

Caspian, along with his troops, returned to Riverside Villa. He had told Macy and the Phoenix Vanguard to stand guard in the hotel and ensure Balthazar’s safety. Meanwhile, he only brought several hundred members of the armored battalion with him.

The enemy troops in Southlake City were already defeated, so nothing unexpected should happen after that.

After her call ended, Willow heard the sounds of vehicles rumbling by from outside the villa.

She knew that Caspian had made his way back. She quickly walked out of the villa with Zoey, only to see Caspian come in briskly with his armored soldiers.

“Darling, you’re back!” Willow said excitedly upon seeing him.

“Yeah, I am!” Caspian nodded before entering the villa.

Zoey looked at Willow and Caspian meaningfully–she was concerned about their progress in having a baby.

“Have you arrested Henry, darling?” Willow asked.

“How do you know that?” Caspian asked, confused.

“Alicia told the family, and they called me, pleading with me to save him,” Willow said.

“I arrested him as he’s a traitor. We must not be lenient when dealing with people like him,” Caspian said sternly.

“But Alicia said that he has only thought of defecting and has never done

anything harmful to the country,” Willow said.

“Alicia knows nothing. Henry has been in contact with secret agents from that country since long ago!” Caspian said.

“Huh? Are you sure?” Willow asked in shock.

“I’m the Diatoranian God of War. There’s nothing I don’t know about. I’ve already had someone investigate whatever’s up with Henry, too,” Caspian replied.

He knew about everything Henry had done.

Only then did Willow have a realization: Caspian had proof of Henry’s defection.

Caspian explained, “Nicholas, Richard, and Henry worked together. The mass. demonstration in Southlake City was directly related to them.

“They also egged the people on, causing them to curse me out, and they were the ones behind the group of people who clamored in front of our villa, aiming to harm you.”

Willow was shocked to hear that. She would not have known about those

incidents if Caspian had not told her about them. She had no idea that Henry had done so many inhuman things.

When those people surrounded Riverside Villa, it almost led to serious

consequences.

“Are you still willing to plead on Henry’s behalf after hearing these things?” Caspian asked.

“Of course not! He deserves to die a hundred times after his actions!” Willow said coldly.

“Great. Your bearing is closer to that of the God of War’s wife now. You must never be soft–hearted when it comes to major issues of principle such as this,” Caspian said.

“I understand now, How are you going to deal with Henry?” Willow asked.

“He’s going to be executed by firing squad along with the Hudsons in a few days,

Caspian said.

Willow would hear about this eventually, anyway. There was no harm in telling her that now. At least the Stewarts could be prepared–they could never stop it from happening.

Willow was thoroughly shocked to hear that. While it was true that Henry had done despicable things, he had grown up with Willow and was somewhat close to

“Caspian, Henry’s my cousin, after all. Can you let him live, at least? You can even send him to the border!” Willow ended up softening up after thinking about it carefully. She wanted to try pleading on Henry’s behalf.

“There’s no room for debate. I’ve already made my decision. Henry took

everything upon himself. I can’t be lenient toward him just because he’s one of the Stewarts,” Caspian said coldly.

Looking at the expression on Caspian’s face, Willow knew that this was already final.

“I’ve been tired recently, Willow. I’m going to take some rest. You don’t need to bother yourself over this matter. Henry’s an adult. He should’ve known that doing those things would result in this.”

After saying his piece, Caspian headed to his bedroom for some rest.

This was non–negotiable. He would never be lenient toward Henry just because he was a member of the Stewart family.

If Henry had been convicted for some other reason, there might still be room for negotiation, but Henry had defected to the enemy. This could never be tolerated!

Willow had a lot on her mind. She was completely at a loss for what to do. She sat on the couch, unmoving, as if she was deep in thought about some matter.

As Caspian lay on the bed, he thought back to the meeting today, and he was overcome by anxiety.

As the Diatoranian God of War, he must dissuade the King from starting a war, as countless casualties would be incurred should Diatoran command a military expedition.

Caspian’s mind wandered. He suddenly thought about his foster mother, Lilith, who had impacted him deeply. He had lived with her until his teenage years, and he had been influenced by her values and ideas.

Caspian stood up and went to look for Lilith’s things she had left behind after her death. In the pile of items, he discovered a somewhat yellowed envelope.

Nothing was written orr it. This aroused Caspian’s curiosity about the contents of the envelope.

When Caspian had gone to Lilith’s house to pack up her things, he had just done. so without inspecting any of them.

Caspian sat down and opened the envelope slowly. He took out the yellowed letter and started to read it carefully.
