The Royal Military Academy's Impostor Owns a Dungeon [BL] novel Chapter 1201

Chapter 1201: To Each Their Own

Had it been any other day, Xavier—his absurdly efficient husband—would’ve already reached their destination by now.

Instead, Luca found themselves moving at a pace so slow that even D-29 had time to worry.

"Host, do you think there’s insurance for this?" D-29 asked worriedly, much to the utter despair of one exasperated guardian mecha who’d repeatedly told the unruly system to stop inventing ridiculous hypotheses and feeding them to their already frazzled master.

But as if it had long practiced in front of a non-existent mirror, the system readily fired back with, "You say that as if you didn’t witness what arguments between spouses can look like! Have you already forgotten all those master mechanics?"

It was merely a conversation between those who shared the same sea of consciousness, but to the very person it concerned, it served as more than enough of a reminder.

...Right.

Luca had, in fact, witnessed quite a few spectacular marital disputes today. Maybe today was going to be the day they experienced their first major crisis. After all, he’d seen just how intensely his husband had reacted earlier.

Unable to endure the increasingly horrifying scenarios his own imagination insisted on producing, the little chipmunk finally flapped his arms a little before blurting out, "I’m sorry! I swear I only took a peek! A very, very quick peek! I didn’t even mean to look! I swear it just happened!"

"...What?"

Xavier came to such an abrupt stop that Luca instinctively pushed himself away from the Prince’s chest, trying to look up at him despite his covered eyes.

"Their deepest desires! A-and their regrets too!" Luca hurriedly confessed. "I promise I won’t tell anyone! And if you want to smack my butt as punishment, I-I think I can survive getting spanked twice. No, maybe even three times!"

He even raised one hand as though making a solemn oath, offering concessions before Xavier had even asked for an explanation.

The Imperial Prince could only stare at him.

Smack his butt?

Why in the heavens would he smack Luca’s butt?

More importantly, where in Solaris had his beloved learned something like that?

Then, setting aside the thoroughly bizarre conclusion Luca had somehow drawn after watching several master mechanics get thoroughly dealt with by their wives, something else finally clicked.

Xavier took a long, measured breath before speaking.

"Luca, we’re going straight to the Elders, and you’re going to repeat everything you just told me."

His expression remained perfectly serious.

"Minus the part about getting spanked, because nobody’s getting spanked unless you’re actually into that."

Then, as if unable to help himself, that other nagging question immediately followed.

"And where did you even learn that?"

Only then did Xavier remember the walk he’d deliberately slowed down just so the two of them could spend a little more time together.

"As for our walk," he said with complete certainty, "we’re rescheduling it."

"Huh?"

Luca blinked beneath the sleeping mask.

He’d been so busy panicking over accidentally revealing the secret he’d been keeping since earlier that he had no idea what Xavier meant by their walk.

Rescheduling?

He was even more confused by the part about people actually being into spanking, but still answered what he figured he could at the moment.

"Uh..." Luca hesitated. "The experienced ladies and even a few gentlemen said misbehaving spouses need a little spanking to straighten them out...

"They even recommended a few paddles after I kind of explained what actually happened with their partners. In exchange, they said it was a tip for a long and happy marriage..."

Realization finally dawned on Xavier as he licked his lips in mild distress.

Those people. Seriously.

...What the actual hell?
