The Royal Military Academy's Impostor Owns a Dungeon [BL] novel Chapter 1270

Chapter 1270: Competitive Advantage

"Should I worry about you liking them more than you like me?"

The teasing whisper came so close to Luca’s ear that the golden-eyed cadet practically jumped in place.

"!"

His head immediately snapped toward his husband, eyes widening in disbelief, clearly never having expected that kind of question!

With one Oliver Mylor groaning somewhere nearby and all sorts of corrupted beasts shrieking and rampaging around them, Luca immediately leaned closer to whisper just as secretively back to his husband, "What?! I’ll always like you the most!"

"Hm? Really?"

"Really!"

Xavier’s lips curved slightly. "Then mind telling me what got you all curious?"

"You saw?!"

The expression Luca gave him clearly said he hadn’t expected Xavier to notice at all, considering he genuinely didn’t think he’d been acting that obviously.

"Mn. Part of maintaining competitive advantage."

Now, to anyone else, that probably sounded like Xavier was simply teasing his wife.

But for those who understood how members of House Solaris operated, they’d know that the Imperial Crown Prince was most definitely not kidding.

And it didn’t even apply exclusively to romantic interests!

Once something or someone had Luca’s attention, why wouldn’t Xavier want to know exactly what had managed to capture it?

More importantly, who wouldn’t want to monopolize Luca’s gaze once they had it, especially when the little chipmunk was looking all giddy and secretive like that?

How could Xavier dare not ask?!

Yet to the Prince’s surprise, Luca actually leaned even closer before whispering, "I was just wondering, when we’re older... Would you look like them? And I was trying to check how much taller I’d have to grow so we can also look nice standing next to each other like your parents!"

"!"

Well.

The curious cadet had actually tried evaluating his own parents earlier, only to very quickly reach the conclusion that, unlike Xavier, who looked so much like both of his parents, Luca’s own build wasn’t anything close to Duke Leander’s.

Even if he ate five times his own weight in rice, he just might never reach the same height!

So after realizing that particular avenue wasn’t going to give him much useful information, Luca had naturally turned toward his husband instead, whose traits seemed to run exceptionally strong in the family.

He was so busy sinking back into his thoughts that he didn’t even notice how Xavier had suddenly stopped leaning in.

The Imperial Crown Prince slowly raised one hand to cover his own face.

Heavens.

They might’ve been right in the middle of a dungeon simulation with corrupted beasts all around them, but Xavier seriously felt like becoming one himself and devouring his wife, who somehow managed to look so intensely thoughtful while contemplating the smallest and sweetest things imaginable!

And as if Luca had absolutely no intention of giving his poor husband a chance to recover, the little fox innocently tilted his head before looking up at him again.

"If we have kids, do you think they’d have your hair color too? Or at least your height?"

Xavier went completely still.

Sure, they’d talked about children a few times already, but learning that his chipmunk could even think about it in the most random places really made something in him tingle.

It was just that aside from the sudden questions, the admittedly flustered husband had noticed something else that left him frozen in place.

That very open gaze.

Actually, Luca had been about to ask whether they’d inherit his husband’s muscle definition too, seeing as his golden eyes had already shamelessly wandered straight toward Xavier’s abdomen. But having to momentarily turn away to hurl several more bolts at the monsters managed to keep him from voicing that particular concern.

Unfortunately, it was already too late for one Prince.

He’d seen exactly where those golden eyes had gone.

Ah, fuck.
