The Royal Military Academy's Impostor Owns a Dungeon [BL] novel Chapter 573

Chapter 573: Something Different

"Have you forgotten how we prepared before?" Xavier asked, his tone casual, but his eyes glinted like he already knew the answer.

Meanwhile, Luca froze under the quilt. The warmth in his cheeks deepened as memories, blurry and scattered yet far too vivid in certain places, flashed back all at once.

Oh, he remembered.

How could he not?

However, he could not really be too specific. Not because he did not want to, but because his mind back then had been nothing more than a warm, dizzy mush.

There was no way he could’ve remembered every single caress when he’d been too preoccupied trying to stay inside his body.

His lips pressed together in a tight line. "...No. I remember."

"Good." Xavier’s mouth curved in faint satisfaction, though the softness in his gaze kept it from feeling like a trap. "Then, in that case, I believe you know why we need to do it again. I do not want you to get hurt."

Luca’s ears burned.

Every time Xavier showed this much care, he just couldn’t help but feel something in his stomach.

"I’m fine. I’ve... I’ve exercised more since then," he blurted, the words tumbling out in a rush.

He really had; he thought long and hard about it before and promised he’d work on it.

So surely, it would be fine, right?

However, this got the prince chuckling low in his throat, the sound warm enough to slide right under the quilt with him. "Exercised more, hm?"

Luca, still peeking out from his cocoon, nodded with the determined seriousness of a man who thought squats and stretching might have anything to do with this kind of preparation.

Heck, he even ran more for endurance!

Xavier initially paused after hearing this, but the mere thought that his little wife considered anything related to this had him in stitches.

Cute.

So fucking cute.

"You did well," Xavier murmured, clearly amused but not about to correct him just yet. "And I’m proud of you. But there’s something else we need to prepare for. If we start today, maybe we can do more tomorrow."

That made Luca’s eyes tremble. "...More?"

"Mhm."

He hesitated, then nodded, trying to recall the steps from last time. It was not like he had a written list, but he was sure he would recognize it when it happened.

Or so he thought.

Which was exactly why, when Xavier leaned in and murmured, "Then let’s begin," and proceeded to do something very different from what he remembered, Luca’s mind went blank.

Completely, utterly blank.

To be fair, Luca told himself he was ready.

Mentally, physically, and emotionally.

He had said yes. He had nodded without hesitation. He had even thought back to the last time they did this, replaying the memory as best he could. His heart was racing, but his resolve felt solid. He was not going to shy away.

Yes. This felt familiar. This was what he remembered.
