The Almighty Lord Caspian by Cath Nitfisch

Chapter 50: Brief Intimacy

The master bedroom was also extravagantly decorated.

As soon as they entered the room, Willow asked Caspian seriously, “Are you really just a b*dyguard for

John?”

“What else would I be?” Caspian didn’t directly reveal his identity. He had another purpose, which was to

test Willow’s sincerity toward him.

“If you’re just an ordinary b*dyguard, why did Sylvia, a mid-level officer, intervene on our behalf during the

last gathering? I heard her speak to you with great respect. How do you explain that?” Willow questioned.

“Didn’t I say earlier that it was all an act? You knew the situation during the gathering. It was indeed because I saved John’s life that Sylvia helped us,” Caspian explained.

“Is that really true?” Willow was skeptical.

“Yes, my status isn’t as impressive as you imagine. Do you feel disappointed?” Caspian asked.

“To some extent, yeah, but I am already content. After all, you organized such a grand wedding today. It’s

the most glorious day I’ve had in years. I never expected you to be such an influential person.

“How could someone with such a remarkable background continue to work part-time as a delivery man in

my company?” Willow responded.

“That’s true, but this time, I got myself a good opportunity. Going to the frontlines in South Aridlands

might give me a chance to make military achievements. Perhaps then, I could truly become someone

much more impressive,” Caspian replied.

“I don’t need you to become some remarkable figure, and don’t need you to achieve great military feats.

I just want you to come back safely,” Willow shyly said, lowering her head.

“Okay, I promise I will come back safely,” Caspian replied.

Willow’s worries were completely unnecessary. As the Lord of Diadem Hall, he had experienced

countless battles and had witnessed various situations.

Just then, Willow noticed some bloodstains on Caspian’s right arm. Surprised, she asked, “What happened? Why are you bleeding?”
