The Almighty Lord Caspian by Cath Nitfisch

Chapter 796 Establishing a Connection

“They used witchcraft on His Majesty. It’s not an illness. I’m a doctor, so I’m not familiar with witchcraft. In any case, I took out one of the cursed bugs they planted inside of him. I’ll study it and see if I can find a way to kill these bugs,‘ Avon said.

“But we don’t have much time. Lord Caspian is acting as His Majesty right now, so we need to get rid of the curse on His Majesty as quickly as possible. Otherwise, Lord Caspian’s life will be in danger,” Sylvia said anxiously.

“That’s right. Lord Caspian has put himself in an extremely dangerous situation. Although he can fool them for now, sooner or later, he’ll be exposed,” Laina chimed in.

“Jerry has always had a suspicious nature. Things will go south if he detects anything out of the ordinary. But even if we rescue His Majesty, we can’t get rid of the curse they used on him. It’s so frustrating!” Sylvia said helplessly.

“All we can do is try our best. It’d be great if we could find some kind of substance that can be used to suppress the cursed bugs. But since Jethro isn’t in Dhord City, it’s impossible for us to get the antidote for the cursed bugs from him,” Avon said.

“Oh, right. Aren’t you going to be making frequent trips to the King’s residence? Maybe you can get some information from Jerry?” Sylvia said.

“The moment we find a lead regarding the antidote for the cursed bugs, we’ll steal it. After all, we have Mr. Salgado to help us,” Laina declared confidently.

She had complete faith in Wilfred’s expertise. There was nothing in the world that he couldn’t steal.

“I’m a little worried about Macy. What if they find out who they have is merely her in disguise and not Lord Caspian’s mother?” Sylvia spoke up as she recalled Macy.

Even though they didn’t see eye to eye on some things, it didn’t matter. Sylvia thought of Macy as her sister.

“Don’t worry, Macy’s a strong–willed woman. As long as the disguise remains in place, you have nothing to worry about,” Avon said.

He trusted Macy’s abilities. After all, she had snuck into Filren alone and successfully assassinated Camden, the previous King of Filren.

An undercover mission like this was a piece of cake for her.
