Chapter 59 The Truth

Caspian nodded and did not doubt Kate’s explanation.
He surmised that it was normal for seniors to prefer a home they had long been accustomed to.
“Sylvia, let us head to the countryside. We’re going to fetch my mom.”
“Yes, sir.”
Kate began to panic. “What’s the rush, dear? You’ve just made it home… You should rest up for a while.”
“I’ve finally come home, so I want to spend some time with her in the city! I want to bring her to enjoy her favorite meals and hang out.”
She became even more uneasy. “No…”
Caspian quickly noticed her abnormal behavior. His expression sank as he sensed that something was amiss. “What’s wrong? What’s going on?”
She could not look him straight in the face, let alone answer his questions.
He then turned toward Willow for answers. “Willow, where’s my mom?”
Willow lowered her head as she realized that she could not hide the truth any longer. “Lilith was killed… Her funeral’s already over.”
The sudden revelation hit Caspian like a bolt of lightning.
Sylvia, as well, was shocked to her core after hearing the news.
“What the F*** are you talking about? What exactly happened? Why would my mom be killed?
Caspian was in denial.
“She suffered multiple stabs…” Willow tried her best to explain, but she was already choking back on her tears.
Sylvia was also visibly angered and annoyed by the news.
Caspian felt a sudden sharp pain in his chest as he lost his balance momentarily.
Sylvia panicked and almost spoke the wrong name. “Lord… Caspian! Are you okay?”
Over the years by his side, she had known Caspian for being unfazed by absolutely anything in life.
It was the first time that he had been so emotional.
She could only imagine the pain that he was going through at that moment.

Caspian had made a triumphant return, intending to celebrate with Lilith, only to be met with
the worst news.
He was heartbroken to find that Lilith was killed before he could repay her for her boundless love and how she’d treated him better than his actual parents.
He had conquered the battlefield and valiantly fought for the safety of Diatoran, but he could not even protect his own foster mother.
“Who did this? Who would kill her?” asked Caspian in tears.
Caspian was understandably furious to find one of the most important people in his life was no longer with him, after only a month of absence due to his military obligations.
His triumphant return would never be witnessed, and he would never again be greeted by the person he cared for the most.
Parents passing away before their children could repay them was arguably the most bitter feeling in the world.
“Do you intend to avenge Lilith? There’s nothing we could do about it…” Willow was still unaware of Caspian’s true identity.
Caspian wanted to find out the killer of his beloved foster mother. “Just tell me who did it, Willow. I need to know who killed my mom!”
