Realization dawned upon Xion.
This was what Caspian had been aiming for from the start.
He wasn't aiming to anger Xion—his goal was to turn the others against him.
Caspian was surrounded by nearly 500 of his own armed guards. All the while, those Death Walkers just stood behind them, waiting for orders.
The situation looked scary enough to make a grown man cry, especially when the refugees barely had a few good days. They would kill anyone who came between them and their freedom.
Even their lord Xion.
The soldiers at the wall had their arrows aimed at the enemy, but if even one got inside, it would be a disaster beyond control.
Yet Caspian was controlling it just fine.
Xion was merely standing between the open gates with Allen and Oswin right beside him. With one push, he could run back inside.
With this distance between them, Caspian wouldn't be able to catch them, let alone those drooling creatures eyeing them like their next dinner.
But... that was never the plan.
