Chapter 635 Believing in Lord Caspian


    "Your Majesty, I think you shouldn''t tell Caspian so early on that you want him to be your sessor.


    "Despite the expectations he''ll have after you tell him about it, he won''t be able to ascend to that high


    and mighty position so soon. If this goes on for some time, he''ll surely start to harbor ulterior motives,"


    Jerry said hurriedly.


    "Four countries attacked Diatoran this time, and I had to head to West Arinds alone. In such a dire


    situation, Caspian is the most suitable person to be king. This is why I''ve told many higher-ups about


    this," Balthazar said.


    "The enemy troops have been repelled, Your Majesty. To ensure that Caspian does not harbor the


    desire tomit treason, you can tell him that the matter of who will seed you will be discussed


    "You''re joking. I''ve already promised Caspian that he''ll be my sessor, and he''s not the only one who


    knows about it, either. What will the higher-ups think of me if I go back on my promise now?" Balthazar


    said.


    "But what if Caspian really wants to be king earlier? He might really try to overthrow you!" Jerry said.


    "That''s enough. Stop. I believe in his integrity," Balthazar snapped impatiently.


    Jerry was going on and on about Caspian, painting him in a bad light.


    "You also noticed during the meeting earlier that Caspian was acting strangely. Please reconsider, Your


    Majesty," Jerry said.


    "We have different opinions, but he''s fought in so many wars and done so many heroic deeds. In this


    war, we were surrounded by four countries.


    "Thanks to Caspian, I was unharmed. He led the charge in many battles and seeded in repelling the


    traitors and enemy troops. I would''ve be a prisoner if not for him.


    "After that, he killed Robert and Viktor. No one''s achievements can everpare to his. Personally, I


    want him to be my sessor, but he''s also the most ideal candidate judging from his achievements


    and deeds," Balthazar told Jerry about his opinion.


    "Lord Caspian has achieved glorious achievements in war, Your Majesty, but his presence is too high-


    profile now. His reputation might even precede yours. What if he doesn''t listen to yourmand?"


    Jerry said.


    Balthazar gave serious thought to Jerry''s words. Thetter was not wrong. Caspian was bing


    increasingly powerful.


    "Diatoran has gained great momentum after our victories, so this is a great time to strike. Caspian is


    the head of the Five War Gods, but he seems to have changed after the battle in Soutke City.


    "He''s be less proactive and started to sing a different tune from yours, Your Majesty. I think he just


    doesn''t want you to be the most powerful ruler in the world! Caspian must never be the sessor to


    the throne."


    Jerry fanned the mes further upon noticing Balthazar''s hesitation.


    "In your opinion, who else is suited to be my sessor aside from him?" Balthazar asked.


    "I''m not sure, either. We still have to observe the other Champions for a while longer. I think that you


    should issue amand to Caspian, telling him to start a war. He''ll surely obey yourmand. If he


    shows signs of disobedience, we can push him to the sidelines." Jerry grinned.


    "It''s not as easy as you just put it. Everyone must agree to it before I can issue amand. I can''t just


    decide on it while ignoring everyone else''s opinions on the matter, can I?" Balthazar said.


    "We can use this to test Caspian, Your Majesty," Jerry said.


    "No. If I''ve already promised something, I can''t possibly go back on it. This is not a joking matter!"


    Balthazar said sternly.


    "After returning to Dhord City, I''ll gather the Five War Gods and hold another meeting. Majority wins, so


    we can start a war if a majority of them agree to it."


    "Caspian''s loyalty must be tested, Your Majesty. Hemands a massive army. It''ll lead to dire


    consequences if he ever wants to overthrow you. You should remove his right to be your sessor,"


    Jerry continued.


    "He''s saved me twice. Five years ago, he aided me in suppressing the rebellion in Dhord City. When


    Quinton Hans held me hostage in West Arinds, he traveled overnight to save me. If he really does


    harbor nefarious intentions, why would he do so?" Balthazar said.


    Jerry could not very well go on in that case.


    "That''s enough. You can leave now. I''m going to rest." Balthazar did not want to bother with continuing


    this banal conversation.


    "Yes, Your Majesty. I''ll take my leave now." Jerry left the suite.


    …


    "I''ve already called Willow, but she doesn''t want to help us," Melinda said.


    "What? Why did she be so cold and indifferent?" Donald said angrily.


    "She said Henry should be killed because he''s be a traitor." Melinda lowered her head, looking


    displeased.


    "Does being the God of War''s wife mean that she''ll let her family die for the sake of the greater good?"


    Donald was mad as well.


    "Ever since bing the CEO of Soutke Corporation, it''s like she''s be apletely different


    person. Why would she break off all rtions with us if she hasn''t changed?" Kate said.


    "It''s true that we can''t me Willow for not helping Henry," Marilyn said.


    Everyone was very surprised to hear that.


    "We should me her! Caspian listens to her every word. She can save Henry just by saying a few


    words, but she refuses to! Is she not cold and merciless?" Donald bit out.


    "Henry is a traitor. He should be killed for that. Willow is the God of War''s wife, too. If she agrees to


    save Henry, she''s basically abusing thew to help her family," Marilyn said.


    "You two should be med instead. If you had raised your kid well, why would he be a traitor?"

    "What do you mean by that, Mom? What''s the point of bringing this up now? Have you given up on


    Henry, too?" Donald asked.


    "It''s not that I want to, but I have no choice. Traitors are the enemy of Diatoran. Who can save him?"


    Marilyn said.


    "There''s one more thing. Willow said that she''s willing to help Henry if he only thought about defecting


    to the enemy but hadn''t done anything," Melinda said.


    "What are you waiting for, then? Ask Alicia about what happened, quick!" Marilyn said hurriedly.


    "I''ll ask her now." Melinda gave Alicia a call.


    When Alicia saw her mother was calling, she answered and asked, "How did it go, Mom? Can Henry


    be saved?"


    "We have no way of doing that. I called Willow just now, but she refused to help us. I want to know if


    Henry has done anything against Diatoran. Has he just thought about it but not acted upon it?" Melinda


    asked.


    "I don''t know about that, either. I did see him and the Hudsons have a meal with Robert at the same


    table, though," Alicia said.


    "So Henry really did act upon it? What should we do, then?" Melinda asked anxiously.


    "But He didn''t have the time to do anything else because he was busy trying to save me. He just


    wanted to defect to the enemy but didn''t really do anything," Alicia told Melinda everything she knew.
