Queen's Return Dumping the Ice King and His Mini-Tyrant novel Chapter 191

Dames stomped his feet and started to panic. “What are we going to do? Are we going to starve to death?!”

Felicity jumped in right away. “Dames, no one’s starving today. We’ve still got snacks–we can eat those!”

They decided to skip using their points to get ingredients for lunch. Instead, Felicity grabbed Dames and the two of them dove into their stash of snacks.

Dames tore open a bag of cheese puffs. Normally, he’d have to beg Selene just to get five or six, but now he could cram his mouth full of all kinds of chips and crackers, and there was nothing Selene could do about it.

Felicity loved those snacks too, so the two of them sat together, munching away, the crunching sounds filling the air.

While they were trying to fill up on junk food, the scent of real food started wafting over from the other end of the camp.

The other parents had begun cooking. Some, hoping to cozy up to Harrison, invited him to join their families for lunch, but Harrison refused every single invitation.

He could see right through their motives. After all, accepting favors comes with strings attached, and he had no desire to get mixed up with such scheming people. “Whoa!”

“Wow!!”

Dames was drawn by the chorus of awestruck shouts from the kids.

He jumped up and looked over to where the noise was coming from.

A bunch of kids, Daph among them, were crowded around watching Luke Holloway work his magic with a frying pan.

A burst of flame shot up over three feet high, making the kids squeal with a mix of fear and excitement.

Daph’s group had racked up the most points, so they’d traded for the best ingredients.

Luke Holloway was cooking up a storm. He started by simmering a pot of syrup, then expertly carved strawberries into delicate rose shapes, drizzled them with

syrup, and turned them into strawberry lollipops encased in a glassy sugar shell.

Each one looked like a crimson rose frozen in crystal.

Luke handed the strawberry treats to Daph, who began passing them out to the eager kids.

Selene noticed Luke Holloway was clearly using this as a chance to show off his culinary skills–something completely at odds with his usual low–key attitude.

At the long table, the kids sat in a row.

“Daph, your uncle’s food is amazing!”

“My granddad’s the head chef at a five–star hotel, but your uncle’s cooking is just as good!”

Daph stuffed her mouth, then gave Luke Holloway a big thumbs up.

Luke sat across from her, one hand braced on his knee, a wild, lopsided grin spreading across his face to reveal a row of perfect white teeth.

“Next time you see Mr. Shaw, tell him your uncle once cooked for the presidential banquet. Maybe then he’ll finally give up on trying to win people over through their stomachs.”
