The Almighty Lord Caspian novel Chapter 501

"Oh! It's nothing! It's just a balloon!" Willow said as she quickly threw it into the trash.

She was embarrassed that someone had discovered a condom—proof of the intimate acts she and Caspian got up to.

Chuckling, Zoey remarked, "Willow, that looked like a—"

Before Zoey could finish her sentence, Willow put her hand over Zoey's mouth and said, "Hush! Stop talking! Just go to sleep!"

How mortifying it would be if word got out about this.

…

The next day, all of Southlake City was on high alert.

Desmond, the commander of Southlake City, knew that Caspian was coming. He had to get everything ready.

The roads that Caspian would take were all cordoned off, and the surrounding houses had been searched. All the occupants had been investigated too, just in case there were enemy spies hidden among them.

Many snipers were also standing ready in the shadows.

Their sole goal was to keep Caspian safe.

So much had been done just for the sake of welcoming Caspian to Southlake City, and the people of the city were no fools. They could tell that a powerful figure would soon be arriving.

Thus, they came out of their houses and waited behind the barricade that had been set up. They wanted to see who was coming.

Willow and Zoey caught wind of it too, so they came to the streets to join in on the fun.

Sylvia already got the news yesterday when Caspian informed her he was returning. However, she couldn't do anything about it. Her job was to stay by Willow's side and keep her safe.

Even before Caspian's arrival, many of the city's residents were already waiting eagerly.

Due to the unrest in recent days, the companies and businesses in Southlake City came to a standstill. Many people didn't have to go to work, so they gathered to see what the fuss was about.

The barricade stretched on for many miles with fully armed soldiers standing guard—a precaution against an unexpected crisis.

Snipers were also stationed on the rooftops of the towering buildings on both sides of the road for that very same reason.

Caspian was riding a vehicle with the best security setup possible, but that was no reason for them to let their guards down.

At such a crucial moment in time, they couldn't let anything happen to Lord Caspian, the Diatoranian God of War.

Willow and Zoey stood at the back of the crowd, and they could just barely see what was happening in front.

Everyone was awaiting the arrival of the supposed powerful figure. Even the people from the various elite families in Southlake City had come over to join the fun.

The Stewarts were here as well. In fact, they were right in front of Willow.

Richard and Alicia stood with the Stewarts, while Nicholas and the other Archers stood behind them.

"All of Southlake City is under high alert, Willow. Surely, it means that an important person is about to show up. I wonder who's coming over," Zoey commented out of curiosity.

"I have no idea. Could it be Caspian?" Willow exclaimed.

She only made that guess because she was fairly certain that Caspian was the Diatoranian God of War. It was quite likely that he was the important figure who would soon be arriving in Southlake City!

"You're right! That's possible!" Zoey nodded fervently in agreement.

However, many in the crowd eyed them strangely after overhearing their exchange.

The Stewarts were also eyeing them in derision.
