I will Save this Doomed Plot

Chapter 157: The Unexpected Quest(1)

The crowd stared at him in disbelief, while the group simply sighed and shook their heads. Lance simply scratched his brow and motioned for the music band to begin playing. The musicians were startled, but quickly regained their composure and played music that diverted the nobles' attention away from Luke, who was peacefully sleeping.

Lance then approached the table and noticed Luke's unusually peaceful expression. Lance isn't sure if Luke slept on purpose or if he was simply knocked out cold from exhaustion... But it may be both. Lance simply sighed once more and turned his attention to the kids who were approaching him.

"Dad fell asleep."

"He appears to be exhausted."

Lance patted their heads and nodded.

"Let's not bother him and go do something else."

The two kids gave a cute nod and dashed over to the table where Liam and the others were sitting. Lance simply followed behind them, conversing with a few of the nobles along the way.

"Snow, I'm hungry."

"You are hungry, again? Didn't you just eat earlier?"

Nash rubbed his stomach and made a sad face.

"It isn't enough..."

Snow let out a sigh and shook her head. She then looked around; Lance isn't here because he appears to be busy talking with others, and the rest of the group is the same. Their table was easily swarmed by nobles that they seem to have no time for them at all. Snow simply shook her head and spoke.

"I guess we got to do this on our own. Come on, let's go get food."

Snow then took Nash's hand in hers and led him into the crowd. The people they encountered all gasped and stared at them. Some were gracious enough to make way for them, but others were unforgiving, even attempting to squash the two of them with their large and puffy gowns. Nash and Snow exchanged a frown.

"Can I burn their dresses?"

Snow sighs and shakes her head.

"No, Dad will be upset if we do."

"However, these people are vexing."

"I know, just put up with them for a while, okay?"

"Okay..."

Snow sighed and moved her tiny hands to clear the path. Even though she stopped Nash from burning the nobles' dresses, she herself wants to freeze everyone that was standing in her way. These people didn't bother to give them even a tiny little bit of a way out, instead, trapping them even further, which irritated her. The image of their dad being disappointed in them if they caused chaos at the banquet was the only way she could calm herself down.

'Just a little bit more push, we will get to the food.'

And as she was thinking that, they finally got out of the crowd and arrived at their destination. Snow and Nash exhale heavily from exhaustion and look up at the tall table piled high with sweets and delicacies. Snow then placed her hands on her waist and spoke while staring at the food on the table.

"Now, Nash, eat to your heart's content."

Nash's eyes twinkled and he gulped as he gazed at the sweets in front of him.

"O-okay..."

Nash was about to approach the table when he was interrupted by a voice at his side.

"Aren't these the strange kids from unknown origins? I heard you were both as weird as your dad."

Nash and Snow's eyes twitched as they heard the word "dad" and turned to face the source of the voice. They then noticed a swarm of noble children piled up together, all staring down at the two of them. Nash's silly face immediately evaporated and turned into a serious one.
