The Almighty Lord Caspian novel Chapter 638

"Run an investigation on the side about the whereabouts of my mother-in-law," Caspian said.

"Huh? Isn't your mother-in-law Kate Massey, Lord Caspian? Has she gone missing?" Laina asked in confusion.

"No. You didn't know this, but Kate isn't Willow's biological mother. The woman you're going to search for is named Irene Olson."

"Irene Olson?" Laina was somewhat bemused. This was her first time hearing that name.

"This mission is more difficult than the one you gave me just now. Do you have any other leads?" Laina asked, finding this tough.

"She was driven out by the Stewarts. If finding her is so simple, what do I need you for? You must find her within the shortest time possible," Caspian ordered.

"Yes, Lord! I'll get this done as soon as possible," Laina answered.

After ending the call, Caspian was overwhelmed by emotions that refused to subside. He fell into a deep sleep, his heart filled with excitement.

On the other side, Willow was preoccupied. After learning that Henry would be executed by firing squad, she was torn and at a loss for what to do. She wanted to tell the Stewarts the news, but she feared they would be unable to handle it.

However, she would feel bad if she were to keep this from them.

"Are you okay, Willow?" After coming back with some water, Zoey saw Willow's uneasy expression.

"I-I'm fine," Willow said, shaking her head.

"Why do you look preoccupied, then? What happened?" Zoey asked.

"I'm met with something I'm unable to resolve, Zoey. I feel troubled, and I don't know who I can vent to about this," Willow said with a frown.

"You have me, don't you? Did Caspian bully you?" Zoey asked.

"No, no. My cousin Henry will be executed by firing squad in four days as he'd committed treason. I feel helpless now. What do you think I should do?" Willow asked.

"What? Caspian's going to have Henry executed by firing squad?" Zoey was shocked to hear that.

"Yes! Although he's my cousin, Caspian refuses to spare him because he places righteousness over family loyalty. There is nothing I can do about this now," Willow said, troubled.

"Are his crimes really unforgivable? Must he be executed?" Zoey asked.

"Yes. Caspian holds proof of Henry's treason," Willow said.

"Why are you sad, then? If he committed treason, his execution is reasonable. As the Diatoranian God of War, of course Caspian must execute the law fairly," Zoey said.

"I don't know how to break the news to the Stewarts," Willow said.

"There's nothing you can't tell. It's not your fault, anyway. It was Henry who decided to be a traitor, and he deserves this punishment," Zoey replied.

"I'm afraid that the family can't accept it," Willow said, worried. The Stewarts would surely be extremely horrified to hear the news of Henry's impending execution.

"The news can't be contained, and they'll have to hear about it eventually. You might as well think about things that make you happy," Zoey advised.

"Like there are any at this point," Willow said.

"Caspian learned of the identity of his parents. Isn't that worth being happy about?" Zoey laughed.
