The Almighty Lord Caspian

Chapter 741 Invitation From the Stewarts

Caspian explained, "It's useless to just speculate without any evidence."

He already realized that the Andrewses were related to the matter, but they wouldn't ever admit their

involvement without any proof.

Laina replied, "I understand. I'll continue the investigation and gather more evidence as soon as

possible."

"Something isn't right with how the king is behaving recently. Be more thorough with your investigation.

We need to find out what it is that the Andrewses have to be controlling His Majesty."

"Of course! I'm on it."

Caspian asked, "By the way, has Tom ever told you anything about Skyarch Palace?"

Laina replied, "Yes, Tom had told me about it."

"I believe what happened in the king's residence is related to Skyarch Palace. You should keep it in

mind as you continue the investigation."

"I see. I will definitely get to the bottom of all of this."

Caspian hung up and continued to study the Eldorian Scroll fragment.

There was still one technique he hadn't been able to decipher yet.

…

At the Stewart residence the next day, Carl exclaimed, "Your 71st birthday is in two days, Mom! We're

preparing to hold a celebration for you."

Marilyn was still downcast. "Forget it. Henry had just left us not long ago. Just cancel the birthday

banquet for this year."

"I understand, Mom. None of us wanted to see Henry leave us like that. But celebrating your birthday is

a tradition for the family. Other people might mock us if we skip out on it this year."

Melinda chimed in, "Yeah! We have to celebrate your birthday! And we'll even invite both Caspian and

Willow."

Marilyn angrily replied, "Why invite someone so cold-blooded like Caspian? I don't want to see him."

"Caspian's just a civilian now. We can invite him to your birthday banquet and then humiliate him in

public to vent our anger!"

"Would he even be bothered by that? The first time he visited our house was also for my birthday

banquet.

"And if you remember, he wasn't the slightest bit angry when we mocked him in front of everyone. In

the end, it only angered us even more."

Carl replied, "It's not like we can kill Caspian. We'll at least feel better after we humiliate him in front of

everyone this time."

Alicia felt helpless as she listened to her family discussing plans to humiliate Caspian.

Marilyn replied, "Alright, then. Do as you like."

Carl replied, "Don't worry. I'll handle the planning. Alicia, I need you to send our invitation to Caspian."

Alicia was puzzled. "Why me?"

"You're closer to him in age than any of us. It's just natural that you go."

"I don't see the need to invite our enemy to grandma's birthday banquet."

Alicia didn't want her family to humiliate Caspian further. She didn't want to see someone who had

saved her life once to be put in such an embarrassing spotlight.

Marilyn angrily asked, "What are you hesitating about?"

"Fine!"

Alicia had no choice but to accept the task.

The Stewarts soon sent invitations to every other prominent figure within Southlake City.

Alicia would be heading to Riverside Villa to invite Caspian personally.

…

Caspian was idling at home alongside Willow, who had nothing to do now that Southlake Corporation

HQ was no more.

Suddenly, a Mercedes-Benz appeared in front of Riverside Villa.

The couple walked out of the house toward the car.

Willow asked, "Alicia? Why are you here?"

Alicia replied, "Hello, Willow. I'm here to invite both of you to the Stewart residence. Here's the

invitation."

"What for? Are you remarrying already?"

Willow assumed that Alicia had already found a new husband after Richard was executed.

"What are you talking about, Willow? Have you forgotten that it's grandma's 71st birthday tomorrow?

We're going to hold a birthday banquet for her, and we wanted to invite both you and Caspian to

come."

"I've already forgotten about it… But you could've just given us a call instead of coming all the way

here."

Alicia asked, "Do you really want to come, Willow?"

Willow replied, "Of course. I'm not so cruel as to ignore their invitation after they've just gone through a

loss. I'll be there."

"But they just intend to humiliate both you and Caspian… I don't think you should go."

Willow was stunned for a moment by the fact that Alicia was kind enough to tell her the truth.

Caspian was suspicious of Alicia. "Why are you telling us this?"

Alicia explained, "You've saved my life once… I don't want to see the both of you being humiliated in

front of everyone."

"I've also ordered for Henry's execution afterward. Do you not hate me?" This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

"I do, but I also understand that you had a duty to perform as the Diatoranian God of War."

Willow nodded and replied, "Let me think about it."

Alicia explained, "Of course. I'm just here to send you an invitation. You can take your time to make the

decision."

"Since you're already here, why don't you come in for a drink, Alicia?"

Alicia felt that it would be awkward if she accepted. "I still have somewhere to be… Thank you."

She felt guilty for all the troubles she had caused for the couple back then.

"Okay. Come visit us anytime, Alicia."

"Sure. Now that the two of you are free, what do you plan to do next?"

Willow replied, "Not for now… Caspian had been busy with the military and the war efforts. It's about

time he takes a rest."

"I see. Just don't idle for too long and become lazy, I guess?"

Alicia then left Riverside Villa.

"I'm just an unemployed civilian now. Besides, you already heard Alicia say that the Stewarts only

invited us because they intend to humiliate us in public.

"Why would we go to the birthday banquet when we already know we'll just be walking into their trap?"

Suddenly, Sherry appeared before the couple. "Mrs. Stewart Senior's holding a birthday banquet?"

She believed Sherry might know a trick or two from experience to deal with such matters as an elder.
