The Almighty Lord Caspian novel Chapter 647

"That's right. Caspian, since we're Willow's family, please have mercy on Henry. It was his first offense. He only did it because I didn't raise him right. Why don't you take my life in exchange for his? I've lived long enough," Donald declared.

Caspian was taken aback by Donald's offer.

Donald and Melinda truly loved Henry, but their indulgence had led to this situation.

"Do you think this would've happened if you had realized the problem with your parenting sooner?" Caspian asked.

"We acknowledge that we've made a terrible mistake. We'll definitely teach Henry to become a better person," Melinda vowed.

The sight of Donald and Melinda kneeling before him made Caspian feel cornered.

Just then, Marilyn said, "Can't you see how sincere they are, Caspian? Are you still refusing to have mercy on Henry? In that case, I'll kneel as well."

"It doesn't matter who kneels before me today. Henry will die no matter what," Caspian said.

"How can you be so heartless?" Marilyn cried out in anger.

"Our soldiers risked their lives to protect Diatoran! Many willingly sacrificed their lives in the process!

"And what did Henry do? He chose to collude with the enemy! How many people have suffered due to his actions? He who betrays the nation will never be forgiven!" Caspian stated adamantly.

The Stewarts lowered their heads, feeling shame and remorse.

"Caspian's right. It's not like he wants to do this, but what can he do? Henry chose to ally himself with the enemy. How can anyone trust Caspian as the Diatoranian God of War if he shows Henry leniency?" Willow said.

"Willow! Why are you helping Caspian by exaggerating things? Are you trying to give me a heart attack?" Melinda screeched.

"All I did was tell the truth! Henry didn't care about my life either, so why should I help him? Caspian's my husband. Isn't it only right for me to side with him?" Willow retorted.

"Even though you're Lady Willow now, that doesn't mean you should look down on us! You've changed, Willow.

"Don't you know you should never burn your bridges? If you're going to be like this, fine! But don't you ever come to me for help!" Melinda shrieked.

Melinda's outburst only served to get on Caspian's nerves. He snapped, "That's enough. You should leave. Henry's fate can't be changed. This is the law. Even if I want to spare him, the decision's out of my hands."

The Stewarts glanced at each other. They didn't know what to do now. Should they stay or leave?

"Let's go. We don't need to stick around and demean ourselves in front of him," Marilyn said angrily.

Caspian refused to relent despite the fact that they had humbled themselves to plead with him.

"What about Henry, Mom? Are we just going to stand by and do nothing?" Donald asked.

"We have said all there is to say to Caspian, but he refuses to budge, so what's the point of staying here?" Marilyn snapped before storming off.

The Stewarts quickly joined her.

"Dad, wait!" Willow called out to Carl.

"What is it, Willow?" Carl asked.

"Dad, you know the position Caspian holds. There are things that he can't change—principles he has to follow. I hope everyone can understand that," Willow said.

She didn't want the Stewarts to think Caspian was a heartless man.

"I know. Henry got himself into this," Carl said.

"Yeah. We have our hands tied, too," Willow added.

"I understand. Caspian made the right choice for the sake of Diatoran. He's an influential figure. Everyone has eyes on him. It wouldn't be good if he got into trouble because of Henry," Carl said.
