When they entered the dining hall, the maids immediately prepared their seats for them, and everyone took their seats. Luke sat naturally between the two kids. He then turned to face the butler, who was standing behind him. The butler took notice of him and spoke up.

"I'm here to ensure that you all have a delicious breakfast, as ordered by the crown prince."

Nash then turned to face the butler and spoke in a gleeful tone that made the maids who witnessed it blush.

"Will Uncle Lance show up?"

After Nash's question, the butler fell silent for a few seconds. He then bowed to Nash, as if apologizing.

"I'm sorry, but his highness does not normally eat breakfast. He works from morning and just stops to eat for dinner. He spends the majority of his time alone in his office working."

Snow then made a sad expression.

"I see, is that so... It's a shame."

Nash agreed with a nod.

"I want him to join us for dinner and thank him for the toys he gave us."

The maids and butler looked nervously at the two sad children.

"A-ah, please don't cry! I'm sure his majesty is already pleased to see you children happy with his gifts, so there's no need to thank him!"

One of the maids appears to have had enough and spoke up to console Nash and Snow.

"D-don't worry! He will join the banquet earlier so he will surely eat with you!"

The other maids all nodded at the same time.

"Yes, yes!"

"Don't be sad anymore okay?"

Luke and the others stared blankly at the scene of maids and butler comforting the two children. Luke just stared at it with his chin on his palm, then sighed, drawing the attention of the others.

"I'll go get him."

Luke then rose from his seat and prepared to leave, but the butler intervened to stop him.

"Ah please don't waste your efforts!"

"Hmm? Why?"

"Because no matter how many times we call him for breakfast every day, he either doesn't answer or drives us away."

"Really? He is that busy?"

"Y-yes, his majesty, the king gives him a pile of works every day because of his majesty's sickness making his highness the crown prince unable to have time for himself. And his highness not having breakfast here is already the norm."

Luke fixed his gaze on the butler's worried expression. Luke's lips then began to form a smile.

"Don't worry, this time, I'll talk to him. I'm confident he won't ignore me, his younger brother."

"B-but."

"Lead the way, no buts."

"Understood..."

Luke then waved at the kids for a bit before turning around and following the butler towards Lance's office. While walking, Luke notices the extravagant interior design and design of the walls, as well as the expensive golden statues displayed in the hallways. Luke's eyes light up when he sees this. Even though the royal family is corrupt, he can't deny that they are filthy rich.

Luke and the butler came to a halt in front of a lavishly decorated white double door. Luke looks at this for a moment before he walks forward towards the door and knocks it loudly making the butler surprised. Luke ignored him and concentrated on the door.
