The Almighty Lord Caspian novel Chapter 683

"You want me to plead to the King? How am I supposed to tell His Majesty that you've done something so despicable? What if I lose my position because of what you've done?" Jerry snapped.

"I know that I've done something wrong, Dad. If you can save me from getting in danger, I'll listen to everything you say and never cause you trouble in the future," Lacey begged.

"Fine. I'll try my best." Jerry sighed. He had no choice but to give it a try.

"Okay, but you must be fast, or we'll be done for," Lacey said worriedly.

"Got it. You can try to buy yourselves some time while I plead with the King," Jerry said.

"Great. I'll wait for good news from your side, Dad." Lacey ended the call.

Jerry knew that this was a very urgent matter, and he had no choice but to shamelessly go to the King.

…

When Fergus saw that Lacey had ended the call, he asked anxiously, "What's happening, darling? What are these paratroopers here for?"

"There's a high possibility they're Caspian's subordinates," Lacey said fearfully. There was no need for her to hide that from everyone else when they were already in this situation.

The Jessops were all shocked. Fergus and Blake were especially spooked. Both of them were shaking with fear.

If the paratroopers were indeed Caspian's men, they would surely die today as they had kidnapped Caspian's mother.

Kent and his assistant were afraid too. They were only accomplices, but Caspian would surely not let them off—not when this was such a malicious act.

Sherry and Miranda were surprised and elated at the same time as they had thought that Caspian would not send any soldiers over. Looking at the Jessops, who looked resigned and defeated, Sherry believed that the paratroopers were Caspian's men.

If Caspian had already sent his army out, they would surely be rescued!

Sherry was definitely the most emotional at the notion of being saved. She wanted to see what her son looked like after he was all grown up.

"Mom, the Diatoranian God of War has really sent his troops to save us. Is he really my brother?" Cecilia said excitedly.

She was still in disbelief that she had such a powerful brother.

"It's true," Sherry said with conviction. She kept on looking at those paratroopers, trying to look for Caspian among the throng.

"That's amazing! I didn't expect to have such a powerful brother. No one will dare bully me in the future!" Cecilia said proudly.

"I'm not sure if he's willing to recognize me as his mother, though," Sherry said.

Miranda said, "He'll surely do that, Sherry. Why would he command such a massive operation just to rescue you if he didn't want to?"

Now, it was the Jessops' turn to panic. They could only hope that Lacey's father would save them.

"Mom! The paratroopers are going to land soon. Think of a solution, quick!" Blake said in alarm.

"Don't get yourself in a panic. Your grandpa is pleading with the King. We just need to buy some time while we wait for him to get back to us," Lacey said.
