I will Save this Doomed Plot

Chapter 147: Acknowledgement(1)

"Can I have some of those biscuits over there, Uncle?" "

"Of course, you can take whatever you want."

"Thank you very much!"

"There's no need to thank me. Just eat until you're full."

"Y-your highness shall we move to the kitchen? Almost bringing the entire table here is..."

"Can't you see the kids don't want to leave? Do you want them to go hungry? "

"No, but this is the room where Commander Luke is resting..."

"Don't worry; I'm keeping an eye on him as well as the kids."

Luke frowned as he overheard the butler and Lance beside him conversing. He had regained consciousness and could hear their conversation; he should have opened his eyes by now, but he chose to remain silent and listen to their conversation a little longer.

"Leave us alone for the time being; we'll call you when we need you."

"As you wish, your highness."

Luke could hear footsteps getting further away and the door closing with a click. He then could hear munching sounds next to him a few seconds later.

'...Did they really bring the entire table into my room? Are you kidding me?'

Luke sighed loudly and opened his eyes, drawing the prince and two children in the room's attention. When Luke turned around, he noticed Nash, Snow, and Lance staring at him from behind a rounded table filled with snacks and sweets beside his bed. Lance then sighed and looked at him.

"Look, kids, he's awake now."

"Dad!"

"Dad, are you all right?"

"Yes, I'm fine now."

Luke sat up in bed and looked at the children. Nash is sitting on Lance's lap in his child human form, holding a bar of bite-marked chocolate, while Snow is sitting in her own chair, holding a cup of tea. Luke was taken aback by this.

"...Did you guys have a picnic here in this room while I was unconscious?"

Lance responded while filling his teacup.

"You can't really blame them. Nash and Snow remained here while they waited for you to awaken. They won't leave unless I tell them to eat for a while, so I thought I'd join them here to keep them company."

"Really? Well, it appears that you're having a good time bonding with them."

Lance sipped his tea and smiled as he patted Nash's head, who was resting cutely on his lap.

"Of course, being with these kids is a great stress reliever. You, on the other hand, only bring me headaches when you're with me."

Lance ignored Luke's frown and continued sipping his tea, while Nash and Snow jumped from their seats and dashed towards Luke, hugging him immediately.

"You are finally awake!"

"We were so worried!"

Luke patted their heads and examined their health. They appear to have become even plumper and more energetic as a result of Lance's care. Luke then took a closer look at what they were wearing.

"Wait, you brought them clothes?"

Lance nodded, a proud smile on his face as he looked at the children.

"I had Paulina make them some custom-made outfits."

"Aren't Paulina's clothes quite... Pricey? How many did you purchase?"
