The Almighty Lord Caspian novel Chapter 479

Balthazar looked at Caspian and continued, "It's nothing important. I just wanted to apologize."

Caspian was stunned as he couldn't possibly accept an apology from the King himself.

"You're too humble, Your Majesty. I don't understand …"

Balthazar sighed and explained, "I'm sure you had some resentment when I sent you away from the battlefield back then. To be honest, I didn't feel good issuing that order either."

"After some years of peace, I already understand the reason for your decision back then, Your Majesty."

Balthazar was surprised by Caspian's reply.

Caspian continued, "I was young and foolish back then … I wanted to continue my warpath as I was blinded with glory. I've realized that it was a very dangerous move back then, and I'm sure plenty of people were turning into my enemies behind my back.

"Your Majesty's decision to send me home at such a crucial time was precisely for my safety. Thank you."

Constantly seeking greater and greater honor and merits wasn't necessarily a good thing.

"You've grown so much." Balthazar nodded his head.

Caspian was only in his early 20s when he first ascended to the title of the Diatoranian God of War, which placed him at the forefront of all five Gods of War.

His growth and development was regarded as a legend, which further emboldened the young Caspian.

Balthazar wanted him to cool off and develop a more mature sense of responsibility.

Balthazar asked, "Do you think it's a good idea to start a war now?"

"It would be best if nothing happens. But we can't possibly tolerate having our enemies showing off right in front of us."

Balthazar was very satisfied with Caspian's answer. "Very well. Our enemies will pay the price of blood should they ever step foot into our lands."

"Your Majesty, I'll be taking my leave to begin my preparations."

Time was running out as two days weren't enough for Caspian.

Balthazar nodded and continued, "Of course. I have one last question. Have you found out about your biological parents yet?"

He had long known about Caspian's origin.

Caspian had been trying to look for his biological parents throughout the years, but he never managed to find any information.

Time passed, and he eventually forgot about the matter.

Caspian shook his head. "Not yet."

He had been trying to find out about his origin and lineage, but not a single clue was found.

"I've heard that you may be related to the Hunter family of Dhord City. They lost a young boy that was similar to your age back then during a crisis."

Balthazar's relationship with Caspian was publicly seen as that of the King with his military commander, but they were also good friends in private. He had been helping Caspian to look for his biological parents.

Caspian was confused. "The Hunter family?"

He began to recall how Lilith had told him about how she found him as a baby still in swaddling clothes. There was a broken half of an emerald bracelet hanging on his neck.

Caspian began to wonder how he was possibly connected to the Hunters.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I'll look into it after I've defeated our enemies."

He said his goodbyes to Balthazar and returned to Southlake City to begin preparations for war.

A group of men suddenly appeared before Caspian as he was about to reach the airport.

The Diatoranian God of War was escorted with dozens of cars on the way to make sure that he was safe.

The driver came to a quick halt as he realized that they were being blocked from proceeding onward.

The escort bodyguards became alert as they wondered who the people blocking the road were.

Caspian took a good look at the crowd and noticed that the leader was a plainly dressed old man.

The remaining men behind him were some strong-looking men.

He waved his hand and shouted, "We're moving on!"

Caspian was excited, but he didn't show it on his face.

He needed to find out the complete truth before making a decision.

And as the Diatoranian God of War, he still had duties to perform.

Enemies were in front of Diatoran's doorsteps, and he couldn't spare any more of his thoughts and efforts for anything but the preparation for war.

Denzel smiled as he watched the fleet of cars drive farther and farther away.

He had already determined that Caspian was one of the Hunters as he resembled the current head of the family a lot.

Perhaps Caspian left in such a hurry because he couldn't handle the truth just yet.

…

Caspian gave John a call and assigned him new orders while sitting in the car.

He assigned John to send out his fleet toward the southern waters to join the military exercise.

Caspian and Benjamin boarded different planes as they flew toward South Aridlands.

The command center for South Aridlands was within Gathram, which was also where John was stationed.

Caspian and Benjamin couldn't share the same plane as they were both important individuals to the country.

It was an unwritten rule where in the event of accidents, Diatoran wouldn't lose more than one God of War at the same time.

They remained cautious even when they were assigned professional escorts along with a well-thought-out plan.

Nobody knew if the enemy's secret agents had already infiltrated Diatoran.

It could be risky as no one was certain how deep the enemies had already infiltrated.
