Chapter 50: Brief Intimacy
The master bedroom was also extravagantly decorated.
As soon as they entered the room, Willow asked Caspian seriously, “Are you really just a b*dyguard for
John?”
“What else would I be?” Caspian didn’t directly reveal his identity. He had another purpose, which was to
test Willow’s sincerity toward him.
“If you’re just an ordinary b*dyguard, why did Sylvia, a mid-level officer, intervene on our behalf during the
last gathering? I heard her speak to you with great respect. How do you explain that?” Willow questioned.
“Didn’t I say earlier that it was all an act? You knew the situation during the gathering. It was indeed because I saved John’s life that Sylvia helped us,” Caspian explained.
“Is that really true?” Willow was skeptical.
“Yes, my status isn’t as impressive as you imagine. Do you feel disappointed?” Caspian asked.
“To some extent, yeah, but I am already content. After all, you organized such a grand wedding today. It’s
the most glorious day I’ve had in years. I never expected you to be such an influential person.
“How could someone with such a remarkable background continue to work part-time as a delivery man in
my company?” Willow responded.
“That’s true, but this time, I got myself a good opportunity. Going to the frontlines in South Aridlands
might give me a chance to make military achievements. Perhaps then, I could truly become someone
much more impressive,” Caspian replied.
“I don’t need you to become some remarkable figure, and don’t need you to achieve great military feats.
I just want you to come back safely,” Willow shyly said, lowering her head.
“Okay, I promise I will come back safely,” Caspian replied.
Willow’s worries were completely unnecessary. As the Lord of Diadem Hall, he had experienced
countless battles and had witnessed various situations.
Just then, Willow noticed some bloodstains on Caspian’s right arm. Surprised, she asked, “What happened? Why are you bleeding?”
Caspian finally noticed that his clothes had been soaked in blood. He hesitated for a moment but realized,
he couldn’t hide it any longer. “On our way back, John and I were ambushed by enemy forces. That’s how I
got injured.”
“What? You encountered such a dangerous situation on your way back?” Willow exclaimed in disbelief
“Yes, it was an assassination attempt that caused the delay in our return,” Caspian explained.
“Is it serious? Let me have a look,” Willow asked with deep concern.
“It’s nothing-it’s just a minor wound., I’ve already taken care of it,” Caspian reassured her.
“Take off your suit. Let me see your injuries!” Willow, seeing the persistent bleeding, found it hard to
believe that Caspian had merely suffered a minor flesh wound.
Caspian was somewhat reluctant, but Willow had already taken off his clothes.
Soon, Willow saw that the shirt Caspian was wearing was completely stained in red. His arm was soaked
in blood, with fresh blood still seeping through.
Willow was even more shocked as she observed. It took her the entire day to realize the extent of
Caspian’s injuries.
“You were shot by a bullet, and yet you insisted on going ahead with the wedding. Couldn’t we have
postponed it for a day?” Willow’s heart ached for Caspian.
“It’s alright. I didn’t want to break my promise, and I didn’t want to disappoint you. I promised you a
wedding today, and it had to be today,” Caspian responded.
Tears welled up in Willow’s eyes as she felt a mix of emotions in her heart, primarily feeling touched by
Caspian’s actions.
She never expected Caspian to endure such a severe injury just to honor his promise.
Willow suddenly recalled the incident at the hotel earlier. Back then, Caspian’s face had turned pale,
indicating that it was not due to fear but rather the pain from his gunshot wound.
“It’s just a minor injury, I’m fine. Please don’t cry.” Caspian comforted her when he noticed the tears in
Willow’s eyes.
Instead of responding, Willow gently rose on her tiptoes and lightly pressed her l*ps against Caspian’s
mouth…
Caspian was momentarily taken aback when he felt the warmth of her l*ps.
He didn’t expect Willow’s assertive behavior. But by the time he regained his senses, Willow had already
returned to her previous demeanor.
“You stole a k*ss from me. Next time, give me a heads-up. I wasn’t prepared and couldn’t fully savor the
Apart from the previous incident, this was the most intimate exchange they had shared recently.
Willow blushed. She was left unsure of how to react to Caspian’s playful comment.
She leaned in and k*ssed Caspian impulsively, a gesture filled with unspoken emotions.
“Moments of passion are priceless. Shouldn’t we do something more?” Caspian remarked with a smile, noticing the slight blush on Willow’s face.
“Huh? What do you want to do? There are people downstairs,” Willow’s face flushed with a touch of
embarrassment.
She had long accepted Caspian, but with her parents still downstairs, engaging in anything at this
moment would be too awkward.
“Alright, time is running short now. I need to get ready to leave for South Aridlands. Take care of yourself
while I’m away, and wait for my return,” Caspian said.
South Aridland was in a state of emergency. There was no time to waste. He had to personally gear up for
battle to completely drive out the forces of the Tigra. As the lord of Diadem Hall, he bore a heavy
responsibility.
“Can you not go?” Willow asked.
South Aridland’s frontline is a dangerous place where gunfire and chaos were inevitable.
Willow couldn’t help but worry about Caspian’s safety. They had gone through so much together, and now
that they were finally together, they hadn’t had the chance to fully enjoy their time before Caspian had to
leave.
“I am a soldier, and I must follow orders,” Caspian said.
“There are so many soldiers, one less won’t make a difference,” Willow argued.
“My position in the military is of great importance. Even Sylvia, a mid-level officer, treats me respectfully,”
Caspian chuckled.
“Hmph, don’t try to deceive me. I truly mean it. I really don’t want you to go to the front lines. I’m afraid
something might happen to you. I just want you to stay by my side,” Willow pleaded.
“If everyone seeks only pleasure, who will defend against external threats? The Tigra are currently
encroaching on the South Aridland borders. If we don’t drive them out in time, they are not going to stop.
The welfare of our country takes precedence over individual interests, including our own family!” Caspian
firmly stated.

“Alright then, you must promise me to come back safely,” Willow acknowledged that she couldn’t stop
Caspian.
At this point, all she hoped for was his safe return. After all, they had just gotten married, and Willow
didn’t want to become a widow.
“Also, there’s something else I want to discuss. I’d like to bring my foster mother here to live with us.
Would you have any objections, Willow?” Caspian asked.
Willow was caught off guard by Caspian’s request.
He had never mentioned his background nor the existence of a foster mother bef
