Chapter 16 Jinx
“I’ve told you before,” Caspian said. “No one should know about my identity, including my wife. Just do as I say.

His wife strived to succeed in her career, so he would help her reach the top.
Besides, according to Sylvia’s intel, he had a gut feeling there would be a war again. A storm was brewing at the borders of Diatoran. Their enemies could make a comeback soon.
