I will Save this Doomed Plot

Chapter 52: Attack(5)

Lance came to a halt and looked at Luke, who was smirking at him, but he didn't care about that. What Luke had just said was the one thing that is currently on his mind right now.

'I can't let you die, your highness.'

Lance somehow felt a weird feeling inside of him. What Luke had just said sounded foreign to him. He can understand, but at the same time, he can't. He then suddenly remembered a time when he was still a young boy. Almost all the nobles were mocking him that day.

'So you are the powerless crown prince?'

'How pitiful. Even though you are the crown prince, the king and queen obviously don't care about you.'

Even though he was clearly being picked on, the knights around him didn't even bat an eye or didn't even move an inch. He even almost died when his brothers 'accidentally' dropped a pot on top of Lance's head. But not even a doctor came to check him out.

It's quite understandable, though. Who would want to protect or defend a powerless crown prince? Even if a meteorite hit him, instead of being sad, they would celebrate his death.

That's why he learned to fight back. Taking advantage of the nobles' weaknesses, he always had a retort for those who were assholes to him and learned to develop a greasy tongue to praise other nobles from other kingdoms to gain support. Even though he now has people in his faction, even when he and Noah are calling each other brothers, there is clearly no strong bond between them. He was clearly alone.

And now a random jerk has entered his life.

At first, he thought that Luke was a typical villain that had suddenly barged into his life to ruin him. But when he himself said that he would not let him die, he said that when he was clearly suffering and coughing up blood. He felt his sincerity in those words.

Lance closed his eyes shut. He felt an unexplainable feeling surging up inside him. He then opened them up and smirked at Luke.

"Look who's talking. The man who is coughing up blood and shaking says that he'll not let me die? How cute. And by the way, what's up with those wings? And is that an aura?"

Lance then pointed to Luke's wings and his sword, which had a purple aura around it. He then saw Luke frowning and spoke back.

"It's just your imagination, your highness."

"Ho? Still denying it?"

"You must be having a hallucination. I'm not sure what you're talking about."

"... Are you sure? You showed up with wings and an aura and now you are denying it?"

"I have no other choice, okay?"

Boom!

They both turned their heads and saw Liam fighting against the black monster. It seems like Liam is doing a good job of holding the black monster back. Luke then put his hands on the sides of his mouth and shouted at Liam.

"Liam! Can you beat that bastard for me please?!"

It seems like Liam heard him because Liam dashed forward towards the black monster and punched it in the face. Luke smiled proudly and gave a thumbs up to Liam. He then saw Liam smiling brightly back at him. Lance looked at the two casual dudes with disbelief.

"Aren't you supposed to go there and defeat that?"

"Your highness, I may not look like it, but my body hurts like hell and needs time to recover a bit."

Lance flinched and looked closely at Luke's body. He could now properly see Luke's shaking body. He then frowned.

"Hey, if the damage is that bad, you should get inside here and heal up."
