Chapter 33 Lord Caspian Personally Oversees the Battle
+15 BONUS
“What’s so urgent that you have to leave in the middle of the night? Are you just trying to run away now because you can’t hold the wedding after all?”
Willow assumed that Caspian was trying to flee after having bragged a little too much about the kind of
wedding he could give her.
She had long considered this possibility.
Feeling embarrassed, Caspian said, “Something really did come up. It’s very urgent. Trust me.”
“Whatever. You can do whatever you want. I don’t care, not even if you’re going off to meet another
woman,” Willow retorted unhappily.
She was becoming more and more disappointed with Caspian. Initially, after the previous gathering, she
thought he was somewhat reliable.
However, it was hard for her not to feel suspicious when he was leaving at this hour just days before the
wedding.
“Do you think I’d do something like that? In any case, the most gorgeous woman in all of Southlake City is
standing before me now. Why would I go off to see another woman?” Caspian countered somewhat
helplessly.
He knew Willow had misunderstood him.
“Who knows? Maybe you’re tired of me and want some excitement with someone new.”
When Willow finished speaking, she realized how inappropriate her comment was and turned bright red.
Why was she saying something like that in the dead of the night?
Saying it out loud was too mortifying…
Caspian was speechless.
Right now, a drowsy-looking Willow was standing in front of him in a sheer nightgown that made her impressive curves just barely visible. Just the sight of her was intoxicating. There was no other woman as
attractive as her.
“What are you looking at? It’s not like you’ve never seen me before. Why are you staring at me?” The look
in Caspian’s eyes made Willow’s cheeks hotter.
“I have to go now. I’ll definitely come and pick you up on the day after tomorrow. I’ll keep my promise,”
The day of the long-awaited wedding ceremony was right around the corner. Caspian did not want to leave so abruptly either, but the battle had broken out along the border.
Between his country and his family, he had to make a choice.
Caspian had his priorities straight. He knew he had to rush to the front lines at once. More could die if he
even dallied for a single minute.
By the time Caspian rushed down, Sylvia and her subordinates had arrived in special vehicles. As the
situation was too pressing, Sylvia was on duty at all times.
Curious about what Caspian had to do at this hour of the night, Willow looked out the window.
To her shock, she saw three vehicles pulling up. Sylvia and around seven other people dressed in
camouflage got out of the vehicles and saluted Caspian.
Caspian got into one of the vehicles. Soon, he was out of sight.
Willow was stunned. Those people had treated Caspian with the utmost respect. What was going on?
Caspian once told her that Sylvia was a chief’s daughter, but from the looks of it now, she seemed like his
subordinate.
Willow was confused, but all she could do now was go back to sleep.
She would only find out what had happened once Caspian came back.
Willow hoped Caspian was not lying and would give her a proper wedding ceremony.
“Lord Caspian, the enemy attacked us under the cover of night to claim the border. Why don’t I arrange
for a flight to take you over there?” Sylvia asked.
“That won’t be necessary. I’ve fought along the border for many years now. I know the terrain like the back of my hand. I just need to command the battlefield remotely. I’ll come up with a strategy to take down Tigra’s troops in one fell swoop!” Caspian declared.
“You are indeed a brilliant man, Lord Caspian. You can even achieve a victory from miles away!” Sylvia
proclaimed.
“Death awaits those who dare to attack Diatoran!”

Upon Caspian’s arrival at the southern border, everyone treated the revered lord of the Diadem Hall with
maximum deference.
He was a legend on the battlefield. Countless soldiers idolized him.
In their eyes, Caspian was akin to a god!
As long as he showed up, the battle would be won without fail.
When John Anderson, the commander of the troops at the southern border, found out that Caspian was personally overseeing the battle, he immediately came forward to greet the latter.
Caspian’s presence proved just how significant the battle was to him.
Once John saw Caspian, he saluted respectfully and said, “Greetings, Lord Caspian! We are honored to
have you here at the southern border to inspect the situation!”
“I’m not here for an inspection. I want to use your command center to oversee the front lines!”
A tight battle had broken out on the front lines, and time was of the essence. Caspian wasted no time in
stating his reason for being here.
“Please come with me, Lord Caspian.” John was aware of the battle that broke out. He swiftly led Caspian
to the command center.
Once Caspian got there, he contacted Wallace Acosta, who was on the front lines, to understand the
situation on the battlefield.
Wallace was once Caspian’s subordinate. He was thrilled that Caspian was personally overseeing the
battle.
After familiarizing himself with the situation, Caspian began deploying the troops. He was planning on
having Wallace perform a risky move to bait the enemy and take them all down in one go.
Under Caspian’s orders, the soldiers on the front lines retreated on purpose to lure the enemy into a false
sense of security.
On the second night, most of Diatoran’s forces had retreated from the front lines. Everything went
according to plan.
Despite not getting any rest for over a day, Caspian remained full of vigor.
Since he was commanding the battle on the front lines, he did not feel tired at all.
Soon, the sky began to lighten. It was the 30th today-the day of Caspian and Willow’s wedding.
After having a simple meal, Caspian, Sylvia, and the others got ready to leave.

All of the troops at the southern border got into formation to send off Caspian and the others. It was an
honor for them to see Caspian in person.
The thought of the wedding today filled Caspian with joy as well. He had been looking forward to this day
for far too long now.
He knew the wedding ceremony would rock the entire Southlake City.
On this day, Willow would become the luckiest woman in the world.
Early in the morning, the Jade Dragon Grand Hotel staff began to set up the decorations.
The fairy lights hanging all over the hotel made the place seem quite festive and magical.
All of the hotel staff knew that an esteemed figure would be holding a wedding at the hotel today, but no
one knew the couple’s identity.
Lunar Hotel was right beside the Jade Dragon Grand Hotel. It was also well-decorated.
Richard, the oldest son of the Hudson family, and Alicia, the second daughter of the Stewart family,
would be having their wedding ceremony at the Lunar Hotel today.
The staff were all aware of that, and most surprisingly, every single noteworthy figure in Southlake City
was attending the wedding ceremony.
At Stewart Residence, the lights came on the moment dawn broke. Everyone started making preparations.
Those in Southlake City who received invitations from the Stewart family were all looking forward to the
wedding ceremonies happening today.

Word got out that Marilyn had someone prepare a set of divorce papers. If Caspian could not fulfill his
promise, she would make him and Willow sign the divorce papers on the spot.
All of the scions and young men of Southlake City were dressed to the nines. They were dreaming about
becoming Willow’s next husband.
Among them, Nicholas was the most excited about that.
Meanwhile, the prominent figures who received a wedding invitation from Caspian were ecstatic and deeply honored.
Caspian’s guests included the wealthiest people and most influential politicians in Diatoran. Upon hearing that they were invited to his wedding, they swiftly rushed over to Stewart Residence in Southlake City.
