I will Save this Doomed Plot

Chapter 49: Attack(2)

"I do not deserve the title of a hero, your majesty."

The king laughed.

"Ahaha! Don't be shy! "You deserve to be praised."

Luke's eyebrows twitched.

"I am fine even without recognition, your highness."

The queen then butted in.

"Ohoho! You are so humble! "You are exactly what the rumors say you are."

"Thank you for your compliments, your majesty."

Luke kept a blank face. But in reality...

He wanted to cry.

He despises the stares he receives from those around him. He felt as if he'd puked. He then heard Lance's voice in front of him.

"I'm sorry, father and mother. You see, my little brother is quite shy. "

Lance patted Luke's shoulder with a bright smile. He then stopped when he felt Luke's tense shoulders. He tried to suppress his laughter while knowing that Luke was slowly dying inside. He then heard the King's low-key disappointed voice, which made Luke and Lance's faces turn blank.

"Oh? You two were brothers?"

"Of course! Our friendship began when I paid a visit to my brother Noah's estate. We immediately felt the bond of brotherhood as soon as we met."

Luke's eyebrows twitched.

'Brotherhood my ass. We were talking about the war at the time. And how did I end up being your little brother?

Luke felt shivers running down his spine. He couldn't understand Lance's flowery words. He then heard the Queen's indifferent voice. She immediately changed the topic.

"Is that so? Oh well, shouldn't we now start the parade? Our birthday boy appears to be eagerly awaiting the start of the parade."

The King and Queen then turned around and left the two of them. Luke then spoke quietly to Lance, who was standing beside him.

"It seems like they didn't care about you. They lost interest in me as soon as they found out we were close. "

Lance snorted and answered with a bitter expression.

"It's always been like that. Mother and father wanted to enlist you to their side. And they always ignored the people associated with me, so it is hard to gather people into my faction."

Luke could feel Lance's grip tightening on his shoulder. Luke just sighed. He felt a little bad for some reason. He then put his hand on Lance's shoulder and smiled brightly at him. He then spoke loud enough for everyone around him to hear.

"Big brother, let's walk to the parade together."

Lance looked stunned for a moment before also smiling brightly. It seems like he finally got Luke's intentions.

"Of course, let's walk side by side together."

Luke and Lance happily laughed. The nobles around then thought they saw colorful and bright flowers surrounding the two young handsome men laughing together. It seemed like a scene straight out of a painting. Noah, Finesse, Liam, Lina, and Julius all smiled as Luke and Lance's brotherly bond was highlighted.

They then went into their positions behind the royal family and heard trumpets and loud drums playing. Everyone on the road threw their petals into the air. Luke looked at the petals falling and heard Nash's amazed voice.

· Wow, so this is a parade. So pretty!

Luke just ignored him and heard Lance suddenly calling for him.

"Little brother! Come here beside me!"

Luke frowned at the smiling crown prince waving at him. Lance was making fun of him, he could feel it behind that cheerful smile. Luke then smiled.

"There's no need, brother; how dare I, a lowly noble, walk alongside the royal family? I'm perfectly fine here."

"No, you need to come here. The people are waiting for you!"

Luke's face crumpled like wet paper and then he flinched when he heard people shouting by the side. He then turned around to see a few banners being hoisted into the air.

[Hero of the kingdom!]

[We love you, Luke!]

· Hey! Everyone here loves you! They also seem to be searching for you!

Luke frowned and felt someone pulling his arm. He then saw Lance dragging his body to where Lance had just stood a while ago. Once he was properly placed alongside the royal family. The cheering intensified.

"Luke! Please look this way!"

"Thank you for saving my father in Ceb City!"

"Luke! Please accept this!"

Luke then received a bunch of gifts on the way. He then felt the third prince glaring at him. Luke just avoided his gaze and hid his face in the bunch of gifts in his hand.

'Please... Let this end!'

Luke felt very frustrated enough to flip everything over. He could still hear people cheering for him while walking. He then stopped when he heard Nash's urgent voice.

· Luke! Something is coming! And I can feel that it's not a good one!

Luke's eyes widened and he dropped his gifts from shock. based on how urgent Nash sounds. It sounded very important. Lance was about to ask why he had dropped the gifts but stopped when Luke shouted.

"Everybody! Take cover!"

Booom!
