The Royal Military Academy's Impostor Owns a Dungeon [BL] novel Chapter 572

Chapter 572: Preparation Required

Dizzy.

Dazed.

Disoriented.

And definitely damp.

Xavier had to peel off the suit from his wife because Luca didn’t have enough strength left to do it.

If Luca hadn’t insisted that he was fine, he would probably be standing under the showerhead with his husband right now.

The water from the shower poured over him, warm and steady, but all Luca could do was lean forward, pressing his face into his palms as his thoughts circled back to what had happened earlier.

He was mortified. Not only had he been the one to make the suit, but he had also been the one making all those noises while wearing it. The more he thought about it, the redder his ears felt. What was worse was that Xavier hadn’t even gotten the same experience.

Sure, it had been a successful test. Sure, he had gained a lot of insights. But if he was honest, the "insights" paled in comparison to the fact that it had felt so good; he had actually agreed to more tests.

Luca wiggled in embarrassment under the spray, but then straightened with determination. No, he had to push through with his original plan. With all the feedback Xavier had given him, there was no reason he couldn’t make something viable.

Yes. He could definitely come up with something.

That thought was still spinning in his head when Xavier came out of the bathroom after following him earlier.

The prince’s eyes immediately fell on Luca, who was now sitting with his back perfectly straight, staring intensely at the wall as if it had just presented him with a complex engineering problem.

"You okay?" Xavier asked, his voice carrying a hint of amusement. Luca’s face was extremely serious, his brows furrowed in concentration, but the vivid red in his cheeks told a very different story.

Well... Xavier wasn’t wrong.

Luca jumped in surprise, nearly falling sideways off the bed at the sound of his husband’s voice.

"Oh, yes. I’m okay! Great! Fine!" he blurted, the words tumbling out without order.

The man before him chuckled, low and warm. "Are you sure?"

"Yes!" Luca answered too quickly. He was fine. Completely fine. More than fine, actually. He was just... busy. Busy running simulations in his head about what he would do later. He was absolutely working. Not thinking about body parts. Definitely not.

And he certainly was not replaying parts of the earlier test in his head. Especially not the very end, when he wasn’t sure what had happened... only for Xavier, just as they were about to leave, to say there was one more thing to check.

"Huh?" Luca remembered his surprise when he thought they were done.

"We promised to note down the temperature, right?"

"!!!"

They had. And he had completely forgotten.

"Don’t worry, we’ll just take one now," Xavier said smoothly. "After all, I thought it wouldn’t be right to take the temperature during that, when ideally you’re going to make changes to the suit, right?"

"Oh... yeah, I guess so." Luca thought about it, trying to ignore how his ears felt hot all over again.

"So we’d have to set a different control."

"???"

Beep!

"Right now it’s at 38.8 °C. As someone who can wield fire, it’s always been rather high for you, right?"

"From the time I managed to awaken, it’s been like that," Luca replied, turning to face Xavier.

"Then, good that it’s normal." The prince’s hand rose to rest under Luca’s chin, tilting it up slightly.

"Then let’s see what’ll happen if we do it like this..." Xavier murmured, and before Luca could react, he pulled him into a kiss.

Beep!

AHHHHHH! Luca screamed inside his head, realizing he had completely spaced out.
