The Royal Military Academy's Impostor Owns a Dungeon [BL] novel Chapter 1279

Chapter 1279: His Turn to Leave

However, just because the Kyros family had managed to settle their little dilemma didn’t mean every family could resolve their issues quite as quickly.

Especially when one particular redhead was only now beginning to realize the horrifying implications of being away from the dungeon space for at least seven solid days. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

Seven days outside.

Which, thanks to the time dilation inside the dungeon space, practically translated to around twenty-one!

"..."

Jax couldn’t help but stare at a certain someone.

Normally, being away for that long wouldn’t have been particularly groundbreaking for someone like Jax.

He’d grown up constantly moving from one place to another with just his friends, to the point that he’d learned to sleep just about anywhere and rarely felt unsettled by unfamiliar surroundings.

Things had changed considerably after he was allowed into the dungeon space.

For the first time in quite a while, Jax had something that genuinely felt like a home base.

Sure, they had several properties scattered throughout the Empire, and there was always somewhere to stay whenever they returned from missions or the Academy. But with how rarely he visited the same place for any meaningful length of time, he’d never really been able to maintain anything that required a regular schedule or consistent care.

At least, not until Luca came along with his ridiculously life-changing space.

Suddenly, Jax had somewhere he could reliably return to regardless of where they traveled outside. He’d become comfortable and settled enough to put down roots in an almost literal sense, considering the steadily growing number of photosynthetic children now under his care.

Even then, leaving for several days at a time had never been much of a problem.

Sure, he’d miss all of his children terribly, but it wasn’t as though they’d be left unattended. The Elders were there, and now his parents were around too. There were more than enough people he trusted to make sure every single one of his babies was properly taken care of.

Besides, most of his children were relatively easy to leave for a time.

His green and leafy babies certainly weren’t going to start crying because their father disappeared for a few days. If anything, some of them seemed perfectly content being left alone to grow in peace, while others had become particularly fond of spending time with his mother, whose abilities made her especially well-suited for their rather unusual bonding sessions.

But recently, something rather significant had changed in Jax’s life.

He now had one particularly active baby who was more than sentient enough to actually notice when her papa was gone.

Isabelle.

"Bzz?"

The little Queen Bee tilted her head.

Jax’s lips immediately trembled.

What was going to happen to his baby?!

Twenty-one dungeon space days!

Of course, he trusted Killian with Izzie. There was absolutely no question about that.

What Jax was only now discovering, however, was that he might not trust himself to survive being separated from the little bee he’d spent almost every waking moment with since she’d graced all of them with her presence!

How was he even supposed to explain it to her?

It wasn’t like Isabelle could fully understand something as complicated as ’Papa has a mandatory Academy activity and might not be able to come home for a while.’

Especially when they still didn’t know exactly where they were going or whether they’d have any opportunity to return in between!

Killian wasn’t around all day either, but that was something Isabelle had been used to since she was born. He had always needed to work, and even then, he made it a point to return several times throughout the day just to see her.

But Jax?

He was usually there.

Which made the redhead’s growing crisis considerably worse as he crouched in front of the little Queen Bee.

"Izzie..."

"Bzzzz?"

Her tiny head tilted curiously to the side.

Oh no.

Why did she look confused already?!

What was he supposed to do without Jax around?!
