Chapter 645 The Stewarts'' Decision
"You troublemakers have ruined us all!" Grant cried out agitatedly.
"That''s right! Why did you three even think about betraying Diatoran? I regret ever listening to you!"
Lawrence fumed.
For thest two days in captivity, Richard and Nichs suffered relentless rebukes from their families,
and both were too ashamed to defend themselves.
"Now that I think about it, we Stewarts are a lot wiser," Henry remarked. He had tried to convince his
family to betray their country, too, but none of them agreed to do so.
"Stop trying to rub it in our faces, Henry. You''re stuck in here with the rest of us, too!" Lawrence
snapped.
"Exactly. You''re going to die, just like the rest of us, so you''ve got nothing to celebrate," Grant added
with a snort.
"Yeah, I''ve also been captured, but the rest of the Stewarts are all fine!" Henry retorted. "I tried to
convince them to join me, but none of them wanted to. Meanwhile, look at you guys.
"You let Nichs and Richard persuade you intomitting an act of treason, but now you''re trying to
me them for your situation! What a joke.
"You wouldn''t be here right now if you''d been as wise as my family. You made the choice yourselves.
You got what''sing for you!"
Lawrence and Grant trembled with rage.
"You may be glib, but you''re a goner anyway, so what''s there for you to brag about?" Grant growled.
"At least I''m the only one who''s dying. That''s way better than you guys. Both your families are all going
down! Hahaha!" Henry gloated.
"I can''t believe you can evenugh right now. Isn''t Caspian, your cousin''s husband, the Diatoranian
God of War? He didn''t even choose to spare you. How saddening!" Lawrence said.
"Not only is Caspian not going to save Henry, but he''s even dead set on executing Henry! How
saddening indeed!" Grant joined in on the mockery after seeing the smug look on Henry''s face.
"Say whatever you want. I don''t care. When the enemy beat up Alicia and me, none of you did
anything. You''re all not worthy of calling yourselves human.
"Well, now both your families are going to be executed. I''m so happy for you guys," Henry remarked.
"Henry, even if you''re not scared to die, I am! Hurry up and beg Caspian for mercy. Ask him to let us off
the hook just this once," Richard called out.
"Do you think I''d be stuck in here if that''s possible? We''re all traitors who betrayed our nation. There''s
no way we''re getting out of this alive," Henry replied.
"If I die, Alicia''s going to be widowed at such a young age. Are you sure you want to let that happen?"
Richard asked.
"Didn''t you cut off all ties with Alicia already? In any case, Alicia''s an attractive young woman. She can
just remarry if you die. After all, you''re an impotent loser anyway," Henrymented.
Richard ground his teeth in anger. He was consumed by regret.
He only divorced Alicia because he had been tricked by Robert.
s, it was toote to change anything now.
…
Over at Riverside Vi, Willow received yet another call from Melinda. She didn''t want to take the call
as she knew Melinda was calling about Henry again.
Still, after thinking it over, she answered her phone anyway.
"What is it?" Willow asked exasperatedly.
"Willow, have you heard from Caspian yet?" Melinda immediately asked. All she cared about was
Henry.
"I''ve spoken to him about Henry," Willow replied.
"What did Caspian say? Will he release Henry?" Melinda checked fearfully.
"Caspian said…"
Willow faltered. She didn''t know how to convey the message. Caspian had already decided to execute
Henry.
Naturally, Willow''s hesitance only made Melinda even more nervous.
"What did Caspian say?" Melinda asked anxiously.
"Caspian said there''s irrefutable evidence that Henry betrayed the country, so he can''t be released,"
Willow replied.
There was no point trying to hide this. The Stewarts were going to find out sooner orter.
Melinda stiffened before asking, "How will Henry be punished?"
"The crime of betraying the country is a serious one. He''ll be executed," Willow said.
Melinda immediately felt woozy.
"Willow! Hurry up and plead on Henry''s behalf! You must save him. You''re the only one who can. I''m
sure Caspian will listen to you," Melinda urged.
"I tried my best, but Caspian said Henry can''t be freed," Willow replied.
Overwhelmed with despair, Melinda felt numb. She didn''t know what to do.
"Hello? Is there anything else? I''m ending the call now."
Willow didn''t get an answer. After waiting for another ten seconds, she dropped the call.
Though she felt bad, there was nothing she could do about the situation.
Meanwhile, the Stewarts got a bad feeling when they saw how ashen-faced Melinda was.
"How did it go? What did Willow say?" Donald asked.
"Yeah, how is Caspian going to punish Henry?" Marilyn added.
After snapping out of her daze, Melinda reported defeatedly, "Willow said Caspian wants to execute

Henry!"
Everyone froze in shock.
They still found it hard to ept despite preparing for such a possibility.
"Didn''t Willow plead for mercy on his behalf?" Donald asked.
"She said Caspian has made up his mind, and he won''t budge when ites to something as serious
as this."
"What should we do? We can''t just let them kill Henry!" Donald eximed. Henry was his only son, so
he was determined to save him.
"Carl, you and Caspian have always had a good rtionship. Why don''t you plead with Caspian?
Maybe he''ll listen to you!" Melinda suggested.
"It''s useless. Even Willow couldn''t persuade him, so why would he listen to me?" Carl didn''t think he
could make a difference.
"Mom! Henry is the only male Stewart of his generation. Hurry up and think of a way to save him. You
can''t just stand by and let him be executed!" Donald said to Marilyn.
After giving it some thought, Marilyn said, "Why don''t we head over to Riverside Vi and plead with
Caspian? Maybe we can convince him."
"Well, stop standing around, then. Let''s head over there right now!" Donald urged.
"Let''s go. We''ll all go over to Riverside Vi together," Marilyn instructed.
They needed to take action at once, or else Henry might die.
Thus, the Stewarts swiftly drove over to Riverside Vi.
…
Soon after Caspian returned to Riverside Vi, the Stewarts were already in the vicinity.
However, they were less than 300 feet away from the vi when the armored battalion stopped them.
"Who are you? This is Lord Caspian''s residence. No one''s allowed to approach without permission!"
the armored soldiers hollered while pointing their weapons at the Stewarts.
