The Royal Military Academy's Impostor Owns a Dungeon [BL] novel Chapter 241

Chapter 241: Suspects

The thing about general security alarms was that they never had the decency to accuse just one person.

No.

They attacked everyone—especially those who were only partially guilty, but rarely those who were really at fault.

And that was precisely why, at the break of dawn, the Kyros Manor was in complete and utter chaos.

*REEEEE! REEEEE! REEEEE!*

Blaring, wailing, and screeching in unidentified accusations, the alarms resounded like an offended choir. Every corner of the vast estate echoed with their shrill grievances, and yet the most horrifying part?

There was no immediate crime in sight!

Naturally, the security team, which thought it knew everything about the newly upgraded system, scrambled.

Was it a malfunction?

Because, surely, no sane estate would trigger that many alarms all at once without reason, right?!

But, alas, the poor system wasn’t to blame.

For, unbeknownst to the residents of the Manor, four distinct crimes had indeed occurred that night. While the AI had tried its best to respond in real time, some complex technology delayed the House AI’s cries of justice.

But the moment the system recovered—well, it decided to deliver everything at once.

And that was how the whole estate woke up to the sound of their supposed collective guilt.

__

But that was not the case for those who barely slept.

Like one Prince who had to time his exit and re-entrance after delivering and watching over his passed out little chipmunk.

While he got a few hours to peacefully cuddle with Luca, Xavier knew better than to be extremely greedy, especially not in the territory of one particular father.

And it proved to be the right decision, for when the alarms blared, everyone’s first stop was the room of the most precious heir. And one could just imagine what could’ve happened if he had not been there.

But he was.

Now, the only regret was how Luca woke up to the sounds of people’s footsteps that could’ve been mistaken for an infantry march.

And it would’ve been one if not for Luca opening the door to check it out himself.

It was a rather awkward yet joyous event as the people who were prepared for the worst stopped their rush the moment Luca’s head poked out from the door.

And the Duke, for one, was suddenly embarrassed and regretful that they had woken up his son from his sleep this early in the morning.

However, such alarms could not be taken lightly, and everyone had been asked to go to the Manor’s Training Hall for a general meeting and investigation.

Luca was still a bit groggy and confused as someone who had just woken up, but his entire being awakened when he heard that the alarms had been blaring because it noted down several crimes.

’!’

Crimes?

What crimes?!

It was a recurring question that, once finally answered, earned the people’s collective gasps.

For how could they not when the Manor’s AI displayed the following violations:

1. Trespassing

2. Littering

3. Burglary

4. Destruction of Property

But if the AI knew of the atrocities, why was such an investigation being held? It was because the Manor had never needed such a system upgrade.

Since the establishment of this House, no one has been stupid enough to attempt anything since the first thieves were burnt to a crisp.

But what to do when the criminals themselves don’t know they are guilty and those not guilty have resigned themselves to the life of a criminal? _{freewebnøvel.coɱ}
