The Almighty Lord Caspian

Chapter 646 The Stewarts' Plea

The Stewarts were terrified when they saw weapons being pointed at them. They got out of their cars

and came over.

Even Marilyn was shaking.

"What do you think you're doing? We're the Stewarts! I'm Willow's grandma," Marilyn cried out fearfully.

"Put your guns down! If you hurt us by accident, Lord Caspian's wife will come after you!" Melinda

added.

However, the armored soldiers didn't move. For all they knew, these people could be lying to them.

"I'm Carl Stewart, Lord Caspian's father-in-law. Please inform him that we're here," Carl said, stepping

forward.

The soldiers exchanged looks. They knew Caspian was married to the Stewarts' daughter.

"Wait here while I report this to the house," one of the soldiers instructed.

Since these people could be Willow's family, they decided to check with Caspian first.

One of the soldiers went into the house and told Caspian, "There's a group of people outside who claim

to be the Stewarts. Do you wish to see them, sir?"

"Oh? Is that so? Let them in," Caspian said. He could figure out why they were here.

Moments later, the Stewarts began approaching the house. The compound was surrounded by

soldiers, making them feel nervous.

Caspian got up and walked out of the house.

Even though he had no regard for the Stewarts, he was still on good terms with Carl, and out of

politeness, he went out to greet him.

"Grandma, why did you guys come here?" Willow asked in curiosity. She had followed Caspian out of

the house.

"We came to plead on Henry's behalf. We hope Caspian can release him." Marilyn got straight to the

point.

Both Caspian and Willow had seen that coming, of course.

"Let's go in," Caspian said. Despite his ill feelings for them, he was still decent enough to show basic

courtesy.

"Yes, sure!" Marilyn led the Stewarts into the house.

Everyone settled down in the living room, and Willow prepared coffee for them.

Alas, the Stewarts were too agitated to enjoy a relaxing cup of coffee.

"We won't beat around the bush, Caspian. We hope you can spare Henry's life," Donald said.

"That's right, Caspian. Even though we treated you badly, you and Willow are still related to the Stewart

family. Can't you have mercy on Henry?" Melinda asked.

"I'll be honest with you. If Henry had committed any other crime, I could've considered sparing his life.

However, after what he did, it's impossible," Caspian coolly replied.

The Stewarts were disheartened by Caspian's merciless response.

"What did Henry even do? Why must he be executed?" Marilyn asked.

"Henry maintained close contact with Vadesian spies. He, Richard, and Nicholas worked together to

create unrest among the people.

"They even goaded the citizens into attacking Riverside Villa. Do you think I can absolve him of

punishment for his crimes?" Caspian asked.

The Stewarts all looked ashamed.

"Henry's just young and immature. That's why he did those things. Just give him another chance. He'll

turn over a new leaf," Marilyn persuaded.

Henry was too young to die. The family couldn't accept such an outcome.

"He chose to betray Diatoran. That's a matter of principle. The citizens of Diatoran will be enraged if

they find out I released a traitor," Caspian replied.

"Caspian, I know we Stewarts have done you wrong. I'm sure you think poorly of us.

"Nevertheless, I hope that on account of us being Willow's family, you'll spare Henry just this once.

We'll make sure he becomes an upright citizen," Marilyn beseeched. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

"Henry's the only male Stewart of his generation! If he dies, the family line will die out with him! Please,

Caspian. Have mercy on Henry just this once," Melinda pleaded.

"Nothing you say will change my mind. As the Diatoranian God of War, I won't show mercy when the

best interests of Diatoran are at stake.

"Henry's crimes are punishable by death. I'm merely abiding by the laws of this nation.

"Willow and I will have several children. We'll give one of them the last name Stewart so that the family

line will continue," Caspian said.

Caspian was resolute. He was executing Henry no matter what.

Since Henry was a traitor who betrayed Diatoran, there was no way he could be freed. Such a verdict

would only stir outrage among the people.

Meanwhile, Marilyn felt both shaken and pleased by Caspian's response.

It sounded like Caspian was willing to mend his ties with the Stewart family.

If the Stewarts could establish a good relationship with Caspian, they would certainly soar to great

heights in Southlake City.

Still, the thought of losing Henry made Marilyn feel upset. She had mixed feelings about this situation.

She didn't know if she should feel happy or sad.

At last, Marilyn said, "I'd rather cut off ties between you and the Stewart family than let Henry die."

Naturally, she still wanted to save her grandson Henry.

"So be it then. If you insist on pleading for mercy on Henry's behalf, please leave. There's no way I'd

release him," Caspian declared.

Marilyn didn't know what to say. She could see how determined Caspian was.

"Caspian, can't you spare Henry just this once? You can punish him however you want, but please

spare his life," Carl piped up.

At the end of the day, he was still a Stewart, so he felt he needed to help Henry as well.

"Dad, please don't put me in a tough spot. I'm willing to compromise on other matters, but this decision

is final," Caspian coolly responded.

"You can exile Henry to the border and give him a chance to reform. I'm sure he'll change his ways,"

Carl suggested.

"A leopard can't change its spots. If he can choose to betray his nation once, he'll do it again if the

situation arises. He can no longer be trusted. Who knows what else he'll do next time?" Caspian

staunchly declared.

After hearing that, Carl knew he couldn't convince Caspian.

Donald and Melinda were also overwhelmed with despair. They could tell that Henry was doomed.

They immediately fell to their knees in front of Caspian, who felt a little helpless and exasperated. He

didn't think they would kneel at his feet.

Despite not having a good relationship with the Stewarts, Caspian didn't feel good about letting them

kneel before him.

"Uncle Donald! Aunt Melinda! Do get up. What you're doing will only put Caspian in a difficult position,"

Willow urged.

"Don't bother trying to talk us out of it, Willow. We're going to kneel here until Caspian agrees to let

Henry go," Donald declared.

"That's right! Caspian, instead of executing Henry, you could always just keep him imprisoned for life.

We just want you to spare his life," Melinda said.

"Why don't you stand up first?" Caspian said helplessly.

"We won't. We're going to kneel until you agree not to execute Henry!" Melinda cried out tearfully.
