Caspian stepped forward and explained, "They're the Stewarts, who are also my in-laws, Your Majesty."
Balthazar was puzzled. "Oh? Your in-laws?"
He had already guessed the relationship between Caspian and Logan.
But the father and son had yet to recognize each other. Just who else would Caspian refer to as family?
Caspian explained, "It's because I took on the Stewart family's name when I got married, Your Majesty. You can consider them as my family."
Balthazar asked, "I get it. But why are they causing a commotion now when we're about to execute the traitors?"
Caspian replied, "One of the traitors before us is part of the Stewart family."
"There's a traitor among the Stewarts?" Balthazar was shocked as he had been busy with political affairs and had no idea that Henry was part of the traitors.
Caspian sounded helpless. "That's right. I'm very troubled by this fact as well."
As the Diatoranian God of War, he felt embarrassed that one of his in-laws was a traitor to the country.
Balthazar asked, "Which one of the traitors is the Stewart family member?"
Caspian pointed at Henry and explained, "It's him, Henry Stewart. He's my wife's cousin."
Henry lowered his head and remained silent out of fear.
Balthazar was surprised. "Do you want to execute him as well, Caspian?"
Caspian would no longer be welcomed by the Stewarts if he were to execute one of their family members.
He explained, "I won't forgive him for committing treason, and I won't allow my own relationship with the guilty to cloud my judgment!"
Balthazar praised him, "You truly are a righteous man, Caspian. I'm impressed!"
"Let me in! I need to speak with His Majesty!"
"You can't kill Henry, Caspian!"
"Your Majesty, Henry never committed treason!"
The Stewarts continued to shout at the top of their lungs from outside the memorial hill.
Balthazar said, "Why don't you talk to them, Caspian? They seem really desperate."
Caspian was surprised. "But they're merely ordinary citizens, Your Majesty. Do you really wish to allow them inside?"
He never expected that Balthazar would ask him such a question.
Balthazar replied, "They're not merely ordinary citizens as they're your in-laws. I'd like to hear what they have to say about Henry's crimes."
Caspian answered, "As you wish, Your Majesty. I'll let them in."
He didn't dare to refuse Balthazar's request.
Caspian then turned to one of his armored soldiers. "Relay my orders. Let the Stewarts enter the memorial hill!"
"Yes, sir!" The armored soldier immediately ran off to relay the message.
The Stewarts continued to shout at the top of their lungs, not knowing that Balthazar had already ordered the soldiers to let them inside.
Suddenly, Alicia also appeared at the memorial hill despite her heavy injuries.
She was recuperating in the hospital. But when she received news that her brother would be executed, she immediately got up and sneaked out of the hospital while disregarding the pain.
Alicia wanted to see Henry one last time just in case he wouldn't be spared.
She noticed that the rest of her family were shouting desperately and quickly realized that it was because Henry was about to be executed.
