The Almighty Lord Caspian novel Chapter 688

"I request to make a call to my father so that I can ask him how things are on his end." Lacey was still trying despite her imminent execution. She had to hear a clear answer or she would not be able to die in peace.

"Untie her," Caspian ordered. Lacey was the kind of person who insisted on being in denial until the truth stared her in the face. Caspian must make sure she conceded from the bottom of her heart. She would know later what true despair meant.

Two armored soldiers untied Lacey, who quickly took her phone out and called Jerry.

…

Upon seeing how Jerry was rooted to the spot, Balthazar urged him, "Why are you holding your phone but not making any calls? Have you thought it through?"

"I'll make a call to Lord Caspian and make my stance clear, Your Majesty." Jerry knew that he could not save his daughter at this point.

He might as well ensure he still had his job.

"Stop dilly-dallying, then. We'll leave this place after you make the call. The Tigran diplomats have arrived in Dhord City, so we have to rush back there," Balthazar said.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Jerry nodded. His hands were still shaking. What could he do, though? He was powerless to save his own daughter.

Right when Jerry was about to call his daughter, she called him. He took the call when he saw the familiar phone number. He asked sternly, "What's up?"

He was actually pretending to be calm.

"How's the thing I told you about going, Dad? Is the King willing to release me?" Lacey said anxiously on the other side of the phone.

"I've already told His Majesty about this," Jerry said.

"What did he say? Is he about to spare me because of my relation to you?" Lacey asked.

Jerry did not know how he should break the news to Lacey. She would probably pass out if he were to tell her the truth outright.

"Where's Lord Caspian? Hand the phone to him." Jerry did not give Lacey a direct answer.

Hearing how calm Jerry sounded, Lacey made the assumption that the King had agreed to spare her. She said excitedly as she handed the phone to Caspian, "My father wants to talk to you, Lord Caspian."

Caspian was surprised to hear that. He and Jerry had always been at odds. What could Jerry say to him? Had he really convinced the King to spare Lacey?

He suddenly felt regretful. He should have executed them before reporting to the King.

"What does he have to say to me? There's nothing we can say to each other, is there?" Caspian was reluctant to speak to Jerry.

Lacey said gleefully, "His Majesty has surely agreed to spare me. Quick, answer the phone."

The Jessops were all overjoyed upon hearing that.

Fergus said, "Scared, Lord Caspian? Too chicken to talk to my father-in-law?"

Blake added, "Yeah, Grandpa's probably about to convey His Majesty's orders to you. Do you have what it takes to go against his command?"

On the other side of the phone, Jerry was rendered speechless by their words. Why were they so stupid even when they were about to be executed?

"I have nothing to fear. I believe in His Majesty. He'll never spare you!" Caspian said firmly.

If the King wanted him to release the Jessops, Caspian would kill them anyway. As a general, he had the right to not listen to the King's orders. Even if he killed the Jessops, what could the King do to him?
