The Royal Military Academy's Impostor Owns a Dungeon [BL] novel Chapter 762

Chapter 762: Inspired by Love

Obviously, no one. No one in their right mind would risk losing such an invitation.

But what kind of booth could ever provoke that sort of reaction?

Apparently, one born from the mind of one Luca Kyros, who, after hearing Princess Kira’s tale of the love of the century, suddenly found himself inspired.

Not that the little guild master invented something revolutionary just from hearing a romantic story, but Luca truly admired Prince Silarion’s legacy. A love so great it left behind a tradition that endured for generations.

As someone who had benefited from such romance, who had already been promised dates and a wedding, the reddened little wife could not let the topic go.

And even after they had turned in for the night, nestled together in the quiet dimness of their shared quarters, Luca still could not sleep.

He lay atop Xavier’s chest, small fingers tracing lazy, absentminded circles over cool skin. His brows were faintly furrowed. His eyes unfocused. His mind was spinning in restless loops. Meanwhile, Xavier held him snugly, his long arms wrapped around Luca with that familiar, reassuring grip.

They were supposed to be sleeping.

And yet Luca was very much awake.

The prince, who apparently had not fallen asleep as well, shifted slightly. His fingers gently closed over Luca’s wandering hand, gingerly curling around it before slowly intertwining their fingers together. A soft, sly gesture that said he had been awake the whole time.

"Is something bothering you?" Xavier asked quietly.

Luca tensed for a moment, then peeked up in embarrassment. "I... got to thinking."

Xavier waited patiently.

"There was a booth that I wanted to try," Luca whispered. "I felt inspired by something."

Xavier hummed, amused and indulgent. "Then we can go and try that."

"But what about the original concept?" Luca asked suddenly, his voice tight with worry. "Won’t that be a waste if we scrap it for a whimsical idea?"

Surprisingly, or maybe not at all, Xavier simply answered, "There’s really no need to scrap anything completely. If you want, we can combine several ideas. Either way, whatever we end up going with would be something we can be proud of."

He tilted his head to look down at Luca. "So maybe you could tell me what it is, so we can see if it’s viable."

At that, Luca made a strangled little noise.

Xavier froze. "Is something wrong?"

The concerned and partially amused husband blinked down at the little wife whose face had suddenly turned far too red.

"W-wait!" Luca squeaked. "I will tell you about it! But can I consult first before I do that?"

"Consult?" Xavier repeated slowly. "Sure. And you can just tell me whenever you’re ready."

He leaned forward to press a gentle kiss to Luca’s forehead, still wondering what exactly was brewing inside that tiny, overheating mind.

And perhaps it was a good thing that he wondered.

Because the very next day, bright and early, the little chipmunk came sprinting toward his friends with his proposal.

Technically, he came barreling in with several questions. Questions D-29 had already tried to answer. Unfortunately, D-29’s answers were... somewhat questionable.

So Luca made the wise decision to consult his knowledgeable friends instead.

And that was how, in the middle of the final day of clean-up in Zone Four, several very suspicious people ended up huddling conspicuously by the edge of the shelter’s barrier.

Anyone walking by would have readily assumed they were talking about something ground-breaking, as always.

After all, others in similar positions were thoroughly preparing for the upcoming expo and were discussing exactly how they planned to outshine everyone.

And really, Luca had something similar in mind; it was just that before he could decide if his idea would work, it would be best to tackle the critical issue.

"Brother, are you alright?" Ollie asked first, worried because the usually easygoing Luca looked a little too serious.

"Yes, brother," Luca said, clutching a small notepad that he still liked to bring around. "I just have a question."

Everyone immediately straightened. Princess Kira tilted her head. Ada leaned forward. Ollie tensed as if preparing for a life-or-death mission.

Luca then looked at them with wide, innocent eyes that could purify even the most corrupted soul.

"Where do people go on dates?" he asked quietly. "And what do they actually do?"

Silence.

Absolute silence.

It felt as though an echo kept ringing in their ears.

Princess Kira blinked.

Ada blinked slower.

And Ollie... Ollie sniffled.

His lower lip trembled.

Because the blonde remembered how Luca had wondered about love and relationships before, but now look at his good brother! Asking about dates and all! He’s definitely all grown up!
