"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 count
The most prominent families from Dhord City, such as the Carr family, the Stein family, the Giles family, the Lloyd family, and the Lawson family came over to Southlake City in a grand procession of luxury cars.They were now making their way over to Stewart Residence.Jordan Carr, Felix Stein, Zac Giles, Harris Lloyd, and Sean Lawson were all dressed in their best as they led their respective entourages.Sporting Dhord City license plates, the convoy of million-dollar supercars snaked along the roads of Southlake City. Everyone turned to marvel at the sight.Bright and early that day, all of the most influential figures in Dhord City set off to Southlake City with one goal in mind—to attend Caspian and Willow's wedding.Willow woke up at dawn and started getting ready. Apart from needing to prepare for the wedding, she also could not sleep well last night. Caspian's departure made her feel anxious.Even though they had not been together for long, she was used to having him by he
At this moment, three heavily modified armored off-road vehicles were speeding down the road leading back to Southlake City.Caspian and Sylvia sat in the vehicle in the middle.Subordinates from Diadem Hall rode in the vehicles in front and behind them.Just then, Sylvia got a call from Hugo Webber, the subordinate she put in charge of the wedding arrangements."How are the preparations coming along?" Sylvia asked."General Frost, the prominent families from Dhord City have arrived in Southlake City. All of the preparations have been made. We're now awaiting further orders!" Hugo reported."There's no rush. Tell them to sit tight. Lord Caspian and I are making our way back to Southlake City. Wait until we arrive before heading over to Stewart Residence to pick up the bride," Sylvia instructed."Understood," Hugo replied."You settled the suits and the rings, right?" Sylvia checked."Rest assured, General Frost. Everything's ready," Hugo assured."That will be all for now the
A muted thud rang out. Blood splattered everywhere.The subordinate's face was covered in blood, but he was still alive!"Lord Caspian! You …" Harry Lewis, the man who wanted to shield Caspian from the bullet, had frozen. He was staring at the scene in front of him in shock.Blood was gushing out of Caspian's right arm.During that critical split second, Caspian stuck his arm out to shield Harry.He had used his own arm to protect his subordinate!The moment the bullet struck Caspian, his blood sprayed onto Harry's face.Caspian considered every one of his soldiers his kin. He could not stand by and allow Harry to die protecting him from the bullet.Furthermore, it was a special day today. He was not going to let anything happen to anyone!Harry was stupefied to find that Lord Caspian of all people had shielded him from the bullet.He was ready to die defending Caspian, but instead, it was Caspian who saved him.Sylvia and the others were also thunderstruck to find that Casp
Caspian, Sylvia, and the rest were relieved to see the fighter jets.The roars of the fighter jets' engines and the bangs from the missiles hitting their targets thundered together.The Apex Legion hidden on both mountainsides were pulverized.Soon, Diatoran's elite forces arrived on the battlefield as well.When they saw the wreckage of the three off-road vehicles and Caspian's injury, they were able to deduce how intense the fight had been earlier."Lord Caspian, we, the Special Forces, have been ordered to ensure your safety!" The leader of the special forces unit saluted Caspian."The enemy is hidden on both sides of the mountain. Get rid of them at once!" Caspian ordered."Yes, sir!" The special forces unit did not delay. They swiftly mounted a forceful attack on both sides.Howls and cries of agony echoed through the mountains as Tigra's Apex Legion came under heavy fire.Tanks and missile launchers appeared as well, and another wave of fierce attacks was leveled at both
"Yes, Lord Caspian!" the female special forces soldiers chorused in unison.Caspian was like a god to them."We're running out of time. Once you're ready, head over to Southlake City to meet up with the rest of the bridal party," Caspian continued."Understood, Lord Caspian!" they said with vigor. It was a great honor for them to be tasked to protect the wife of Lord Caspian."Hide your guns under your skirts. Tie them to your calves. If you're attacked, do not hesitate to fire!" Caspian instructed."Yes, Lord Caspian!" They felt privileged that Caspian, the one they revered, was personally giving them his orders. This had always been a dream of theirs.After making the arrangements with the female special forces soldiers, Caspian looked at John. "Since I can't meet up with the bridal party at once, tell your people to bring my suit and the wedding rings over to me.""Yes, Lord Caspian!" John replied."Also, prepare the outfits for the bridesmaids and groomsmen, as well as all
Half an hour later, the Stewart family finally stopped bustling around and noticed Willow."Where's that useless husband of yours, Willow? Why isn't he here yet?""You should just cancel the wedding. That good-for-nothing Caspian has been bragging all this time. I'm sure he has gone into hiding now because he can't hold a wedding ceremony.""Why did that piece of trash even think he could compete against Mr. Richard? He humiliated himself.""It's such a shame that a useless guy like Caspian got to marry a wife as beautiful as Willow."Some of the Stewart family's relatives piled on their sarcastic remarks.Willow's cheeks flamed. She wanted nothing more than to leave at once.However, she still recalled what happened the other night. She had seen how respectful Sylvia and the others had been when they greeted Caspian.Willow chose to believe Caspian. She was certain he was late because he had urgent matters to attend to."Willow, it's one thing for you to humiliate yourself. D
Willow, Miranda, Zoey, and all the scions hanging around were thunderstruck by the majestic display.The people inside Stewart Residence, including the relatives, Richard, and Alicia also came out after hearing the commotion. They wanted to see what was happening.When they saw the armored vehicles, they froze in place."Goodness me! What's going on? Why are there armored vehicles here?""I heard about a crisis over at the southern border. They must be heading over there!""It doesn't look like it. The vehicles seem to be coming over to Stewart Residence!""Look at the cars behind the armored vehicles. They're all decorated with flowers. Those cars must be a part of a bridal party!""Is anyone else from the Stewart family getting married today?"The crowd muttered among themselves. They could not figure out what was going on.With the help of the household staff, Marilyn came out as well. She was also startled by the grand procession.Why were there armored vehicles heading t
