The Almighty Lord Caspian novel Chapter 556

"Your sister…" Richard didn't know how to tell him that.

Henry was Alicia's brother, after all. If Henry learned that Richard had locked his sister up in a room, he might end up making a scene.

All of a sudden, Alicia, who was locked up in the room, started screaming, "Help! Help! Let me out!"

Henry was confused when he heard Alicia's screams. "What did you do to Alicia?"

Richard knew that the cat was out of the bag. He could only say candidly, "She didn't want to defect to Vadesia, so we could only lock her up in a room for now in case she decided to give us trouble."

"What? She didn't want to defect, too?" Henry asked in surprise.

"Yes. Your family is really stubborn. Diatoran is 100% done for, and Vadesia will gain control over Southlake City when they defeat Diatoran! And yet your sister didn't want to go with our plan at all," Richard said.

"You didn't need to say that, Richard. Didn't I already decide to be on the same side as you all? The Stewarts didn't want to go with it, though. I feel helpless, too," Henry said.

"What are you planning to do now?" Richard asked.

He had to confirm Henry's stance on this. If Henry was still indecisive, the Hudsons would also lock him up.

They were committing treason, after all. A slight misstep would cost them their lives.

"I do want to defect to Vadesia, but my family disapproves of it. Can I stay here in your home? I can stay here in Southlake City with you." Henry told Richard what he truly wanted.

"Sure, of course. You can stay here for now. When Vadesia invades the city, we'll become heroes!" Richard nodded.

Henry and him were on the same side now, anyway.

"Have you heard back from Kenzie, Richard?" Henry asked.

"We've gotten in contact with him and told him about our decision to defect. He has promised me that the family won't be unharmed when Southlake City falls," Richard said.

"That's great! As long as the Hudson family manages to defect to Vadesia, you'll have a great future ahead!" Henry exclaimed.

"Of course! Kenzie has also promised me that they'll have a lot of important projects for the Hudson family to work on. The Hudson family is finally going to be a cut above the rest!"

"Let me out! Help! Let me out of here!" Alicia was shouting again.

"Can I see my sister, Richard? I can talk to her and make her see reason," Henry said.

"It's useless no matter who's talking to her. Let her reflect on herself. I'll have someone deliver food to her, so don't worry about that," Richard said.

…

In West Aridlands, Dax Santos, the Champion of West Aridlands, had already been fighting in battle for more than three hours alongside the troops there.

However, the enemy troops consisted of elite warriors. Their fighter jets fired missile after missile at the West Aridlands, causing the deaths of more than half of the Diatoranian soldiers there.

"Champion, the enemy troops are firing too aggressively. We won't be able to hold them back if this goes on! How long do we have until the God of War arrives?" a general asked.

"We've been fighting nonstop for more than three hours. The God of War asked me to stand our ground for four hours. He'll surely be here on time," Dax said.

"But we're on the verge of collapse in the face of the enemy's attacks!" the general said.

"The God of War will probably arrive soon. We can't fail at this moment. As long as he arrives, we'll surely succeed in repelling the enemy troops! We must continue to stand our ground even if we all end up dying!" Dax said determinedly.
