The Almighty Lord Caspian by Cath Nitfisch

Chapter 643 A Mole Within Diatoran

The high–ranking officials had just heard Jerry insist that Caspian wanted to

sassinate Balthazar. Thus, when they saw Caspian rushing in with a weapon, they were terrified.

“Protect His Majesty!” Jerry shouted at once.

Everyone swiftly stood in front of Balthazar.

Caspian’s expression froze in confusion. He didn’t understand what was going

1. on.

“Caspian! What are you trying to do? Don’t come any closer!” someone cried out fearfully.

“Are you trying to rebel, Caspian? Put down your weapon!” someone else shouted.

Caspian was dumbfounded. He couldn’t figure out what was happening. He only left for a little while.

How did they suddenly get the idea that he wanted to rebel?

*When have I ever tried to rebel? Don’t be ridiculous!” Caspian snapped with a dark expression.

Aren’t you trying to assassinate His Majesty, Caspian? You’ve finally shown your true colors,” Jerry

declared.

“Stop with your nonsense, Jerry. When did I try to assassinate His Majesty?” Caspian retorted.

You’re holding a weapon, aren’t you? Isn’t it because you want to attack His Majesty?” Jerry roared.

“His Majesty has given me permission to keep my weapons with me when I see him,” Caspian said as

he started moving forward.

“Caspian wants to rebel against His Majesty! Stop him, everyone!” Jerry shouted.

The officials swiftly crowded around Balthazar.

Balthazar couldn’t take it anymore. “Get out of the way!” he hollered. “Why are you people causing a

scene?”

Everyone froze in shock

“Your Majesty! Caspian wants to kill you!” ferry cried out.

Caspian just dealt with the enemy spies! Isn’t it normal for him to still be

Balthazar fumed

Your Majesty! Caspian is clearly furious because his plan to assassinate you failed. He’s coming at you

himself!” Jerry insisted.

“If Caspian wants to kill me, can you stop him? How dumb can you people get? If Caspian wanted to

rebel, I would’ve died a long time ago!” Balthazar snapped.

erry and the other officials looked ashamed.

None of them could hold Caspian back. It would be a piece of cake for Caspian to kill them.

“Caspian, tell me what happened.” Balthazar said.

Your Majesty, I just stopped a suicide bomb attack. I now suspect that we have a mole among us, so I

came up here to protect you,” Caspian replied.

“See? Caspian’s here to protect me, so stop being so ridiculous,” Balthazar said to the crowd

Upon hearing that, everyone exhaled in relief. Caspian wasn’t rebelling after all.

Caspian, why do you say we have a mole among us?” Balthazar asked.

Your Majesty, we have kept your whereabouts extremely confidential, but before you even arrived at

the hotel, the enemy spies had already gotten in position for the assassination, and they knew where

you’d be.

It’s clear that the moment you landed at the airport, someone leaked the information to the enemy!”

Caspian declared.

“Are you suggesting that the spies were prepared from the start?” Balthazar exclaimed.

That’s right. I had my people check the surroundings, and they didn’t find anyone suspicious. That

implies that by the time we arrived at the hotel, the spies had already snuck into the building opposite

the hotel!” Caspian reported.

He had already figured out what happened.

Meanwhile, Balthazar had a look of realization.

The other officials reacted in the same way. That explained why the enemy spies showed up despite all

the soldiers posted around the hotel.

“On the contrary, I think you merely staged the whole thing, Caspian!” Jerry

declared

“What are you trying to say, Jerry?” Caspian questioned.

“Didn’t you say we have a mole among us? I think you’re the mole!” Jerry shot back.

“Are you kidding me? Why would I be a spy?” Caspian scoffed.

“You’re the one who arranged His Majesty’s accommodations. You’re most likely to be the mole!” Jerry

stated.

“If I’m the mole, why did I stop the truck from crashing into the hotel, then?” Caspian asked plainly.

“It was all part of your act. His Majesty is on the top floor. Even if the bomb exploded, he might not die.”

Jerry’s insinuation was clear.

“My loyalty to His Majesty is as clear as day, so stop spewing such absurd nonsense!” Caspian growled

in fury.

“You might’ve been loyal to him in the past, but ever since he made you his successor, you’ve been

eager to take his place!” Jerry accused icily.

Jerry once again brought up the matter of succession, and Balthazar couldn’t stand it anymore. “Jerry!

Stop being ridiculous! I have full confidence in Caspian. He won’t betray me!”

“‘I’m not trying to cause unnecessary alarm, Your Majesty! Everything I say is out of concern for you!”

Jerry said.

Balthazar couldn’t be bothered to entertain Jerry. He looked at Caspian and asked, “Who do you think

is the most likely to be the mole?”

“It’s only a guess of mine, Your Majesty. I can’t tell who it is yet,” Caspian replied.

You must locate the mole as quickly as possible. Otherwise, there’s no way to ensure my safety, and all

the intel regarding Diatoran will be leaked, too,

Balthazar said.

“Yes, Your Majesty! I will definitely find the mole!” Caspian declared with determination.

“I’ll leave it to you, Caspian,” Balthazar said.

“Your Majesty, I would like to ask you something,” Caspian spoke up again.

“Go on.”

“Your Majesty, did anyone look for you after you got to your room?” Caspian asked.

“Why do you ask?” Balthazar was confused.

“Since the enemy attempted to assassinate you, they had to know the layout of your room. If someone

entered your

room, he could very well be the mole. He could’ve provided the enemy with that very information,”

Caspian explained.

Everyone understood what he meant, and they all began to eye Jerry in shock and

terror.

He seemed to be the only one who had gone to see Balthazar.

Balthazar also recalled that Jerry had come to see him and badmouthed Caspian..

“Why do you look so pale, Jerry? Do you feel unwell?” Balthazar asked when he noticed how strange

Jerry looked.

Noticing the intensity of Balthazar’s gaze, Jerry timidly replied, “Your Majesty, while I did come to see

you, I’m not the mole!”

It was only then that Caspian realized Jerry had met with Balthazar in the latter’s

room.

All eyes were on Jerry.

“I haven’t said anything yet, so why are you so nervous?” Balthazar asked with at

frown.

“I’m afraid you’ll get the wrong idea about me, so I thought I needed to explain myself at once,” Jerry

said.

“Caspian made a good point, and you’re the only one who came to see me in my room. Go on. Explain

yourself,” Balthazar said while eyeing Jerry closely.

“I’m not the only one who knows which room you’re in, Your Majesty! All of you guards do, too! They’re

also familiar with the layout of the room!” Jerry swiftly defended himself.
