"Your Majesty, your situation at West Aridlands was very dangerous. You were hijacked by Quinton. Southlake City has just settled down. I think you should reconsider it," a senior officer said.
"With Caspian at Southlake City, you can all stop being so concerned!" Balthazar said.
"But you have to be in charge of West Aridlands! What if Filren attacks us again?" another senior officer came forward to say.
"This battle prompted Caspian's formidable influence to spread far and wide. Which country would dare to attack us now? I'm going to Southlake City as I have something I need to discuss with Caspian," Balthazar said.
"Your Majesty, what do you have to discuss with Lord Caspian?" the senior officer asked.
"That's not something you should know," Balthazar said.
A lot of the senior officers nodded. They did not dare to question further.
These senior officers came from Dhord City to assist Balthazar.
"When are you planning on leaving, Your Majesty?" the senior officers asked. They had stopped trying to dissuade him.
"Tomorrow morning. Have a chartered plane send me there," Balthazar said.
"Since Your Majesty has already made a decision, we're willing to follow you to Southlake City," many senior officers said.
"You may come with us, but you must keep it a secret! You mustn't let the news of me going to Southlake City be leaked," Balthazar said.
"As you command, Your Majesty," everyone replied in unison.
They knew very well that the King's whereabouts could not be disclosed.
If the enemy's spies found out that the King was going to Southlake City, there might be danger lurking along the way.
…
Meanwhile, almost everyone was at Riverside Villa.
Macy and Phoenix Vanguard, as well as Joey and the others, all knew that Caspian had annihilated Viktor. They were all very excited.
The victory of this battle did not come easy. Many soldiers had died in this battle.
The victory this time around had also positioned Diatoran on a more stable foothold internationally.
Willow and Zoey, who were in the villa, were also very excited when they heard about the news of the victory.
"Southlake City's enemies have been wiped out, Willow. Diatoran is really strong!" Zoey said emotionally.
"Yeah! I didn't expect him to tear Viktor and Robert to shreds," Willow said in disbelief.
"I told you. Caspian's the Diatoranian God of War. No one's a match for him," Zoey said.
"Why do I feel like you know him better than I do?" Willow asked.
"You don't say! You spend the whole day with him and yet you never realize how great your husband is!" Zoey said.
"I know now. He had kept his identity hidden. I can't believe he would marry me. Now that I think about it, it's pretty unbelievable!" Willow said with a smile.
Before this, she had even thought that Caspian was useless. Now, she knew that she had misjudged him.
"Even with such a prominent status, he's willing to be a matrilocal son-in-law just for you. This just goes to show that he treats you very well!" Zoey said.
Willow felt happy after hearing what Zoey said.
Her husband was the Diatoranian God of War. Just thinking about it made her feel happy.
Willow had decided. She had to give Caspian a healthy baby.
Otherwise, they would be ridiculed. They had already been married for a long time but did not have any children yet.
It was at this time that Willow's phone rang.
She realized the person calling was Melinda.
"What's the matter, Melinda?" Willow asked.
"I'm calling to congratulate you, Willow. Caspian has annihilated the enemy. All you have to do is look forward to the glorious days ahead," Melinda said with a smile.
