The Almighty Lord Caspian by Cath Nitfisch

Chapter 688 In Serious Denial

“I request to make a call to my father so that I can ask him how things are on his end.” Lacey was still trying despite her imminent execution. She had to hear a clear answer or she would not be able to die in peace.

“Untie her,” Caspian ordered. Lacey was the kind of person who insisted on being in denial until the truth stared her in the face. Caspian must make sure she conceded from the bottom of her heart. She would know later what true despair. meant.

Two armored soldiers untied Lacey, who quickly took her phone out and called Jerry.

Upon seeing how Jerry was rooted to the spot, Balthazar urged him, “Why are you holding your phone but not making any calls? Have you thought it through?” “I’ll make a call to Lord Caspian and make my stance clear, Your Majesty.” Jerry knew that he could not save his daughter at this point.

He might as well ensure he still had his job.

“Stop dilly–dallying, then. We’ll leave this place after you make the call. The Tigran diplomats have arrived in Dhord City, so we have to rush back there,” Balthazar said.

“Yes, Your Majesty!” Jerry nodded. His hands were still shaking. What could he do, though? He was powerless to save his own daughter.

Right when Jerry was about to call his daughter, she called him. He took the call when he saw the familiar phone number. He asked sternly, “What’s up?”

He was actually pretending to be calm.

“How’s the thing I told you about going, Dad? Is the King willing to release me?” Lacey said anxiously on the other side of the phone.

“I’ve already told His Majesty about this,” Jerry said.

“What did he say? Is he about to spare me because of my relation to you?” Lacey asked.

Jerry did not know how he should break the news to Lacey. She would probably pass out if he were to tell her the truth outright.

“Where’s Lord Caspian? Hand the phone to him.” Jerry did not give Lacey a direct
