Chapter 664 Unforgivable
Caspian wouldn't be able to answer to his own soldiers if he were to spare Henry.
Furthermore, he wouldn't be able to answer to all of his fellow comrades who had fallen in battle.
There was still a mobilization session to be held, and sparing the traitors would surely dampen the
morale of the soldiers.
Caspian finally replied, "Your Majesty, I believe that we should execute all of the traitors, Henry
included. Only then can we send off all of my fellow brothers-in-arms who had fallen in peace!"
The Stewarts, the Archers, as well as the Hudsons, were all horrified.
They felt nothing but despair as they realized Caspian wouldn't even spare his in-laws.
The small glimmer of hope burning within the Archers and the Hudsons were completely extinguished.
Henry turned pale white as he collapsed onto the ground. He realized that he wouldn't be getting out of
this alive.
The ups and downs in life were unbearable.
Melinda shouted, "You're too cruel, Caspian! You're a cold-blooded murderer!"
Marilyn added, "His Majesty had already spoken up, yet you still insist on executing Henry. Are you just
trying to bring down the Stewarts, Caspian?"
Donald explained, "We may not have the greatest relationship, Caspian. But you shouldn't be enacting
revenge like this!"
The Stewarts began to throw insults at Caspian.
Caspian declared, "I have nothing to say to all of you. I've always turned a blind eye to everything
you've done. But I will absolutely not forgive Henry for committing treason."
Alicia begged, "But Caspian, Henry isn't such an evil man as you think he is! He had also kept me safe
in enemy hands! My brother has a kind soul deep inside. Please, spare him!"
"Of course he would have helped you. You're siblings! But what did he do to Willow? He even assisted
the enemy special agents to try and assassinate her! Why would I keep someone like him alive?"
Alicia was left speechless as what Caspian said was true.
Melinda explained, "Lord Caspian, please spare Henry's life for Willow's and our sake! You can just
imprison him for his crimes instead."
Marilyn begged, "Lord Caspian, you can lock Henry up for a decade if you'd like. Just please don't kill
him."
Caspian remained silent.
He realized he had to stand firm on such matters.
Caspian never wanted to execute Henry if not for the crimes he had committed.
Marilyn turned to Balthazar and begged, "Your Majesty, Henry's our only male heir in the family! Killing
him would also mean killing off our entire lineage!
"You could just put Henry in prison for the rest of his life. We only ask that you spare his life!"
She just wanted to keep Henry alive for now, no matter what. She could always reduce Henry's
sentence in the future and eventually bail him out of prison.
Carl had been standing behind the Stewarts the entire time, unable to say a thing.
Balthazar replied, "Mrs. Stewart Senior, you should understand that the soldiers who had sacrificed
themselves to protect the country had families of their own as well.
"Your grandson's treachery has ended the lineage of so many others. If I were to spare Henry today,
how would I answer to the families that had lost their husbands or their sons?"
The Stewarts fell silent as they realized there was no hope left.
Suddenly, Jerry laughed and commented, "You should make your decision soon, Lord Caspian. We still
have the mobilization session on schedule!"
Caspian realized that he shouldn't delay any longer. "Willow, I need you to bring your family out of
here."
He didn't want Willow and her family to witness the execution as it might be unbearable.
"I understand. Grandma, let's go," Willow stepped forward to help Marilyn off the ground.
The Stewarts burst into tears as they called out to Henry.
"Henry! Henry!"
Henry had already accepted his death and didn't want his family to be so saddened by his passing.
"Don't cry, Grandma. I made a mistake and betrayed my own country.
"Don't blame Caspian for any of this, you guys. Treason is a very severe crime, after all. And Caspian
had the duty to uphold such laws as the Diatoranian God of War. Everything he's doing is for the
benefit of the masses!
"I'll see you guys sometime later…"
The Stewarts cried louder and louder after listening to Henry's parting words. Even Willow couldn't help
but shed a tear.
They refused to leave the place as they still wanted to see Henry.
Caspian had no choice but to order his armored soldiers to escort the Stewarts out of the memorial hill.
The Archers and the Hudsons were horrified and began to cry as they begged for mercy.
"Please spare us, Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty! Please give us another chance in life!"
"Your Majesty! Caspian is just doing this to take revenge on us!"
The Archers and the Hudsons begged for their lives but to no avail.
"Ready your weapons! On my mark!" Caspian no longer wanted to listen to their screams.
The soldiers carrying out the execution were in position.
The Archers and the Hudsons shouted from the top of their lungs for mercy, while some of them had
already fainted from fear.
They regretted their actions now that Diatoran had managed to win the war despite being attacked by
four different countries at once.
They would have never committed treason if they knew that Caspian was so powerful that he could
defeat Robert and Viktor with relative ease.
A single mistake had sealed their fate.

Meanwhile, on a hill in Churron, Tom explained, "Madam Lynch, it's already dawn. Let's take the bus to
Southlake City as soon as possible."
He wanted to leave earlier but was stopped by Sherry as she insisted on waiting for daybreak.
She explained that the Jessops would not dare to act rashly in broad daylight. Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
Sherry replied, "Why don't we wait for a while longer? It's still too early for anyone to be on the streets.
Let's wait until noon."
Tom was annoyed. "Stop hesitating, Madam Lynch. It's already morning! How much longer do we have
to wait?"
He would have left long ago if Sherry hadn't insisted on waiting for daybreak.
Miranda added, "He's right, Madam Lynch. We've already stayed here for far too long. The Jessops
may be dangerous, but they probably wouldn't dare to do anything in broad daylight."
Cecilia also chimed in, "Mom, I think Tom and Miranda are right. We should leave."
Sherry reluctantly agreed with the majority. "Okay. Let's go."
She could only nod her head in agreement.
The four of them left the mountain and began to make their way to the bus station.
