The Almighty Lord Caspian by Cath Nitfisch

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
