The Almighty Lord Caspian

“I request to make a call to my father so that I can ask him how things are on his end.” Lacey was still trying despite her imminent execution. She had to hear a clear answer or she would not be able to die in peace.

“Untie her,” Caspian ordered. Lacey was the kind of person who insisted on being in denial until the truth stared her in the face. Caspian must make sure she conceded from the bottom of her heart. She would know later what true despair. meant.

Two armored soldiers untied Lacey, who quickly took her phone out and called Jerry.

Upon seeing how Jerry was rooted to the spot, Balthazar urged him, “Why are you holding your phone but not making any calls? Have you thought it through?” “I’ll make a call to Lord Caspian and make my stance clear, Your Majesty.” Jerry knew that he could not save his daughter at this point.

He might as well ensure he still had his job.

“Stop dilly–dallying, then. We’ll leave this place after you make the call. The Tigran diplomats have arrived in Dhord City, so we have to rush back there,” Balthazar said.

“Yes, Your Majesty!” Jerry nodded. His hands were still shaking. What could he do, though? He was powerless to save his own daughter.
