The Almighty Lord Caspian novel Chapter 758

Jerry explained, "The Masseys lost Caspian 20 years ago while they were on the run. As for what exactly happened, I've only heard rumors that it was because some very important person mentioned to the king that the Masseys were plotting to rebel against Diatoran."

Zane asked, "Dad, do you have any idea on how to prevent Caspian and Logan from reconciling?"

Jerry laughed and replied, "That's easy. With the king being basically a puppet for us to control, we can just have His Majesty lie and sow discord between Caspian and Logan."

"What a great idea, Dad!"

Meanwhile, at Riverside Villa, Caspian was already asleep when his phone started ringing.

He picked up the phone and saw that the caller was Laina.

Caspian accepted the call and asked, "Hello, Laina? Why are you calling me at a time like this?

Laina asked, "Sorry to bother you in the middle of the night, but can we talk right now?"

Laina wouldn't bother Caspian in the middle of the night if not for reporting something very important.

Caspian replied, "Just tell me about it."

Willow was also woken up by the phone call. She quietly watched from the side as Caspian continued to talk with Laina.

Caspian went straight to business with Laina as he didn't want to cause any misunderstandings with Willow.

He knew that she was especially sensitive to such matters.

Caspian had nothing to hide, but he didn't want to cause unnecessary drama with Willow.

Laina reported, "I found out about what happened at the King's residence during the night he was attacked."

"What is it?"

"A group of uninvited guests appeared at the residence that night. And all of the guards at the mansion were killed in battle."

Caspian was shocked.

He had already guessed that was what had happened, but he was still surprised to learn that Laina's report confirmed it all.

Caspian asked, "Anything else?"

Laina replied, "Task Force Rose has already concluded the investigation. We found that the assassination was organized by the Andrews family."

"Those bastards! It really is them!"

It was just as Caspian had already guessed, except that he didn't have any evidence back then.

"That's right. The Andrews family rebelled against Diatoran when you were away at Filren."

"Jerry, that bastard! I'm going to kill him!"

Laina explained, "The Andrews family had been plotting for a very long time. They are also the ones who founded Skyarch Palace."

Caspian replied, "I see. I never even noticed just how much they've been plotting since the beginning."

He had always assumed that Jerry was just causing trouble because of their difference in personalities. He never expected that the latter would actually be plotting such bold moves behind his back.

Laina continued, "That's right. Everything that happened recently is related to Jerry, one way or another. More so when he immediately convinced the king to depose you after he became the advisor. He had done so to prevent anyone else from threatening him."

Caspian replied, "I knew it! So the king really was being threatened."

However, he didn't understand why Balthazar didn't just ask him for help if he was being threatened by Jerry.

Regardless, Caspian decided that he would rescue Balthazar no matter what.

Laina was confused. "But the king seems to be extremely compliant to every request from Jerry instead of asking for help. It's weird.
