I will Save this Doomed Plot

Chapter 89: Check

Luke looked outside the window and looked at Nash beside him. They are now on the estate because they have business here. Luke turned to face Liam, who was standing behind him and spoke up.

"Let's go."

Liam nodded and Nash created a teleportation spell and let themselves be transported. When Luke opened his eyes again, he was now inside a large room filled with papers and books. There are also cupboards and tea sets in the corner. And in the middle of that room, there is a desk filled with paper with a blonde golden boy on it, busy scribbling on the paper. He was so busy that he didn't even notice Luke's arrival.

Luke took a step forward and smiled at Lance, who was busy signing papers. He wanted to surprise him a little.

"Sup."

Shing! Clank!

Luke stood frozen in place when a sword suddenly tried to swing towards him. Thankfully, Liam and the imperceptible Nash stopped it in time with their swords and shields, or Luke's neck would have been severed. Luke then saw Lance holding the sword with a shocked expression on his face. Luke was surprised too, so surprised that he cursed unintentionally.

"What the fuck Lance?"

"Oh? It's you? I thought it was an assassin or something."

Lance then put down his sword and put it back under the table. Luke and Liam just looked at these actions with dumbfounded expressions. Lance just acted as if he hadn't just swung a sword with a pure murderous aura earlier. When Lance finally put the sword under the table, he then put his intertwined hands below his chin and smiled at Luke, who was looking at him with shock.

"So, what does the hero of the continent want from me? And why did you suddenly barge into my office? Want to die?"

"....What was that earlier?"

"Hmm? Instincts."

"What the fuck?"

"Watch your mouth."

Luke zipped his mouth and looked at Lance with a frown.

•Dad! His swing and speed earlier were both strong and fast! He is almost at the level of a swordmaster!

'What? Why didn't you tell me? You should've told me a long time ago!'

It seems that Nash somewhat reads what is on Luke's mind and speaks with a confused expression.

•I thought you already knew, so I just kept quiet about it.

Luke just sighed and massaged his head. He feels like he'll have a headache. There is nothing written in the novel about Lance being a swordsman. All Luke knew about his abilities was that he had the power of the [Shield].

Luke sighed and sat down on the nearest couch and looked at Lance, who was looking at him with confusion. Luke then asked him with a concerned stare.

"Are you..... Being assassinated daily or something? You've got the instincts of a wild animal, your highness."

"Hey, that's rude. But you are right, I am being assassinated daily. I'm assassinated so frequently that I can't leave the office without a knife in my pocket."

"So that's why you trained swordsmanship skills?"

Lance looked at Luke as if he was funny, which made Luke feel annoyed.

"Trained? No, no. I did not take swordsmanship classes or anything."

"...Then what's with that speed earlier? Swords are heavy you know?"
