I will Save this Doomed Plot

Chapter 127: First Revival(4)

'I wonder who this will be. Will it be the others? Well if it's them then they got the information of my revival pretty quickly.'

Luke assumed it was his group, but he was completely mistaken. It was someone he should've seen coming from the get-go. It's also someone he's a little nervous about being near right now.

"Luke!"

"Ha... Haha, hello there, your highness..."

Luke waved awkwardly at Lance, who had just emerged from the teleportation circle and was now charging at him like a bull. Luke was even more terrified after seeing Lance's intense gaze set on his. Luke then noticed Lance's hand reaching out to him, even though they were still far apart, and it reminded him of the time where Lance completely cracked and took out a chunk from his so-called 'earthquake-proof tombstone'.

'Ah shoot, should I run away?'

Luke then began to take little steps back, causing Lance to frown and accelerate his pace.

"Where do you think you're going?!"

Luke completely stopped moving after that question. It's better to obey now or else his skull might get crushed by a single person single-handedly. He doesn't want to die again, his lives are precious.

Luke groaned and stood calmly, his gaze fixed on Lance, who was sprinting towards him as quickly as he could. Luke then gave a soft smile and opened his arms slightly to greet Lance. Lance was taken aback by this for a second before straightening up and snatching Luke into his embrace as soon as he got close.

Luke remained mute as Lance hugged him tighter and tighter. Luke just patted Lance's back and sighed.

"Your highness, long time no see."

Lance didn't respond and instead hugged him even tighter, making Luke nervous. Lance isn't going to suffocate him, is he?

When Luke felt something wet on his shoulders, he flinched. Wait... This is not what Luke is thinking right?

"Your Highness? Are you crying?"

Lance didn't respond again, and instead placed his head on Luke's shoulder and silently tear. Luke's mouth was slightly agape with surprise, and he gazed disbelievingly at Lance's head, which was on the other side of his vision.

'No way... Is this guy actually crying?!'

Luke noticed Lance's embrace tightening for him after a while of being confused, so he patted Lance's back and spoke as nicely as he could.

"Your highness, please let me go. I can't breathe."

"You moron, no."

"W-what exactly do you mean by no?"

"Just... No. Are you stupid?"

Luke frowned and sighed.

"Is it because you don't want other people to see your tear-streaked face? Why are you even crying in the first place?"

"You moron... We're in public; don't we need to express how close we are as brothers in some way?"

"... Ahh, I see. Pretty clever."

Luke finally broke the hug when he heard Lance sigh. Luke immediately froze in disbelief as he stared at Lance's face.

'Oh my God, this guy really cried. His acting abilities are very legit.'

Luke looked at Lance's swollen and red eyes with concern but Lance didn't mind him and just kept staring at him.

Lance gave Luke a calm look. Luke has returned. That hug right now was genuine. He can sense his temperature, touch, and breathing. He's definitely alive.

Lance didn't believe it at first when the vice-captain of the first knights' brigade rushed into his office and told him that Luke was alive, but it appears that Lance was so desperate for this guy to return that he leaped from his seat and dashed out as quickly as he could, almost leaving the vice-captain behind.

While Luke was attempting to figure out what's gotten into Lance, Liam merely frowned and stared at them. He was having a bit of a problem.

• Brother... Luke... Luke is back!

"You! I said be quiet!"

• Luke is still alive... I can't believe it!

Liam grimaced and began to clench his teeth as tightly as he could while attempting to limit his motions. His body appears to be rebelling against him, and he begins to step forward, which irritates Liam.

His motions were uneven and uncoordinated. His body is starting to move without his permission... It's as if two people are fighting for dominance inside one body.

Liam growled and attempted to fight back, then scowled and gave up.

"Fuck alright, I'll get another chance next time."

Liam then closed his eyes for a few moments before opening them and gasping as if he'd been taken out from cold water after a long time. Liam began to pant profusely and to look around. His gaze was drawn to the silver-haired man whom he hadn't seen in a long time.

"Brother!"

Luke flinched and turned to face the source of the cry when he saw Liam sprinting towards him, tears in his eyes. Luke just sighs after staring at him.

"You don't have to yell that loud you know, Liam."

"Brother!"

Liam rushed up to Luke's arms and hugged him tightly while sobbing uncontrollably. Luke gently patted his back, which made him sob even harder. He could feel Luke, Luke is touching him. That means that this is not a dream. Luke is truly alive, and he was glad.

WWIIIIIIIIINNGGGGG!!!

Liam didn't mind when teleportation magic appeared behind him; he just kept Luke in his grip. In the meantime, Luke glanced over Liam's shoulder to see who had arrived.

Selena, Lina, the children, Klein, Julius, Bell, and Yulia, even Noah and Finesse are here, all of them were looking at Luke with shock while panting heavily as they came here in a rush. Others don't appear to be able to arrive since they either can't or are too busy.

Luke smiled as he looked at their surprised expressions.

"I've been waiting for all of you."

The group didn't say anything, and instead just charged towards him and giving him a large, warm hug while crying or screaming. Luke just groaned as he gazed at them while hearing them scream. When he turned to check to his side, he noticed Spencer approaching him carefully. Luke only gave him a sly grin.

"Hey don't be shy, come here."

Spencer scowled and walked into the group hug as if forced. Luke simply chuckled and turned to face Lance and Snow, who were both silently staring at him. Luke simply sighed.

"You, too, Your Highness, Snow."

• Me too! I'll join!

Lance remained motionless for a few periods before heading over to the folks who were hugging each other and softly joining them. The same may be said with Snow. Luke made room for her and allowed her to hold him tightly. Luke simply sighed as he stared up at the sky. He kind of missed these guys. After all of those depressing things they did in front of his grave, hugging them is all he could do.
