Willow then realized that Caspian had already fallen asleep.
It had only been a minute or two, but Caspian was no longer awake.
"Hubby? Hubby!" Willow tried calling out to him, but Caspian didn't even respond.
He had been utterly exhausted and immediately drifted off to sleep upon closing his eyes.
Caspian had been traversing across the country to defeat enemy troops throughout recent days without pause.
He had only slept for a mere few hours throughout the days. He could finally catch up on sleep now.
With the armored battalion stationed outside of the house, he wasn't worried about anything happening to him.
Caspian may be the Diatoranian God of War, but he was still made of flesh and blood. He required ample rest to function.
Willow had no other choice as she watched Caspian fall asleep. She decided it was best to leave him to properly rest for a couple of hours.
She quietly opened the bedroom door and left.
Meanwhile, Zoey had also walked into the living room.
"You're up early, Willow!"
"I woke up at six today."
Where's Caspian?" Zoey asked.
"He just fell asleep."
"What? Why's he falling asleep early in the morning? Could it be? Have the two of you been going at it until now? You gotta take care of your body!" Zoey covered her mouth in shock.
"Enough nonsense! Caspian stayed up all night commanding his troops. That's why he only went to bed just now." Willow was blushing after listening to Zoey's assumptions.
…
Southlake City became peaceful in the morning.
Everyone was tired after an entire night of battles.
Caspian slept all the way until noon.
He rubbed his eyes after waking up, only to find an empty bedroom. He vaguely remembered that Willow had been asking him to do something before he fell asleep.
Caspian tidied up the bed and left the bedroom.
"Hubby, it's still early. Why not sleep for a while longer?" Willow asked after noticing he came out of the bedroom.
"Six hours is more than enough for me. I still need to get back to the battlefield and resume command."
The very next moment, a panicking officer rushed into the house.
"Lord Caspian! I had assumed you were still resting." The officer was surprised to find Caspian already awake as he was about to call for him.
"What happened?"
"Lord Caspian, Commander Desmond has just requested reinforcements after Astronia launched an attack on the south of the city!"
"What's the situation over there right now?" Caspian asked.
"Commander Desmond remarked that his troops won't be able to hold on much longer."
"Relay my orders. Send ten thousand of my armored soldiers as reinforcements to Desmond," Caspian ordered.
"Yes, sir!" the officer answered and left the room.
The armored soldiers were ready for battle after getting a good night's rest.
Only forty thousand armored soldiers remained by Riverside Villa.
