Chapter 225 The Princess' Appreciation

After Lucas calmed down, they finally left the hotel.

Ke Luo remembered her husband's instructions and went to the street they had visited in the morning to look for him.

Although Goletia was much safer than other places, Lucas still insisted on sending his sister to her destination as before.

But as he walked with Ke Luo, he found that her destination was becoming more and more familiar.

This is--?

Lucas looked at the shabby shop front in surprise. Was this the pharmacy where he had been a volunteer for drug trials?! It had been bombed and now had been simply renovated. It was completely different from before.

"Of course, of course, no problem!" As the brother and sister arrived, they happened to see Fred and another strange man pushing open the door and walking out, talking as they walked and laughing heartily.

"Hey! Why are you here!" Fred greeted them in surprise when he saw them.

He didn’t mind Lucas’s cold face during lunch at all, he walked up and put his arm around Lucas’ shoulders, pulling him to the front of the store, “Mr. Peter, this is what I said, our little brother!”

Lucas took Ke Luo's feelings into consideration and did not resist, but remained silent.

"Oh, what a handsome young man! No wonder he is appreciated by Her Royal Highness the Princess." The person opposite admired sincerely, with flattery in his eyes.

……What? !

Lucas looked up in astonishment, looking at Fred who was chatting happily with a stranger, but the stranger quietly grabbed his shoulders and suggested that he should talk later.

"Haha, after all, the princess is also a young person, and this is their young people's business!" Fred accepted the other party's compliment frankly, and after some mutual flattery, he and the other party agreed to meet again tomorrow.

"What do you mean?!" As soon as the strange gentleman disappeared, Lucas immediately shook off Fred's hand and asked angrily.

"When did I become the princess's knight? And I'm so appreciated?!" Lucas' head was buzzing with anger. He didn't even dare to think about what his classmates and the princess would think of him if they knew about these words!

"Is there something wrong, Lucas?" Fred smiled, still with his usual smile on his face, "Aren't you a guardian? The guardian's job is to protect magicians! Then it's not wrong to say that you are her partner, right? You are so smart, it's only a matter of time before the princess appreciates you."

Lucas was really amused by this man's shamelessness. He didn't want to have anything to do with the princess at all. "I have never been a partner with her. We even had a quarrel--"

"That's not important." Fred waved his hand indifferently and laughed, his eyes full of shrewd calculations.

"It's enough if the gentleman believes it. We got this shop at a super low price! Thank you to the princess, Lucas, we will settle down in Goletia, and you can see your sister every day. Isn't this the most important thing?"

All of Lucas's dissatisfaction was blocked in his chest by this last sentence.

He looked at Ke Luo who was standing in the distance. She just stood there quietly watching them.

"——Besides, unfamiliarity is only temporary. You are too introverted, Lucas. Maybe you can talk to me more about the princess, and we can think of ways to enhance our friendship?" Fred was still talking nonstop, as if he was extremely confident in his social skills.

"I'm going back to school." Lucas turned around and fled away from the busy street.

He ran all the way until he was sweating profusely and his heart ached, and finally he saw the familiar wall.

Maybe it was because he ran too fast, when Lucas climbed over the railing, his stomach was cramping wildly. The tasteless lunch probably didn't want to stay in his stomach, so he bent down and vomited it all out.

"...Lucas? Tsk tsk, you came back after class!?" A familiar voice sounded, with a gloating tone, "You're done, you've been caught skipping class, get ready to face the wrath of Mr. Wolf tomorrow!"

It was Lilith, and she seemed to be preparing to climb over the wall.

Lucas didn't say anything, but Lilith still found excuses for herself in order to prevent this guy from being sarcastic.

"But I'm different from you. I have a legitimate reason! You know the competition that Catherine organized. I'm going to get sponsorship. Alas, there's no other way. We geniuses have to take on more responsibilities. There's a saying that the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility..."

"Hey, are you okay?" Seeing that he didn't speak, Lilith leaned over curiously and tilted her head to take a look, "What's wrong with you——"

Lilith closed her mouth in surprise.

Lucas' face, which he never raised, was already covered with tears.

He is crying...
