The Royal Military Academy's Impostor Owns a Dungeon [BL] novel Chapter 265

Chapter 265: Same

If the Imperial Crown Prince had thought Luca’s face had already reached peak redness, he’d clearly underestimated the little chipmunk’s embarrassment.

Luca’s cheeks and ears were now blazing and could likely rival some top-grade rubies.

All because of a very unexpected development neither of them had anticipated.

The little guide stared up at Xavier, eyes wide, entirely mortified at himself and at the sensation that he couldn’t hide.

He had tried his best. But as someone who had just discovered these strange and uncontrollable feelings, he was not as adept at hiding anything.

For a moment, silence reigned.

Then, Xavier’s gaze softened into a teasing yet incredibly tender smile. The corner of his mouth curled upward, and Luca felt like he would be devoured alive!

The prince, who looked even more wolfish, tilted Luca’s chin upward with his thumb, smiling warmly as he savored this reaction.

Luca could not understand why Xavier looked delighted while he was internally screaming, so he figured he had to explain this embarrassing reaction.

"Xavier—this isn’t...I didn’t mean to!"

Based on what Luca learned last time, it was normal to experience this when they were touching. But how come he was like this when they weren’t even touching like that?!

Was it a defect?!

He could only stammer as he tried covering himself with shaking hands.

"Luca," Xavier murmured gently, sensing the little guide’s panic.

The Prince quickly caught those trembling wrists in a reassuring grip before saying, "It’s not just you."

"Huh?" Luca froze, blinking rapidly.

Xavier sighed softly, though a teasing smirk tugged insistently at the corner of his lips.

He nodded as if recognizing his surprise as a question.

He let Luca’s eyes travel downward meaningfully, and it was Xavier’s turn to flush lightly, though he wore it proudly, enjoying Luca’s widening eyes.

"Ah! Wait—really?!" Luca yelped, now panicking because of this development.

"You can check it out yourself if you need more confirmation," Xavier chuckled as he leaned closer to press their foreheads together.

"It can happen like this, too. I got excited because I felt like you liked having me around." His voice was like a teasing whisper.

"I liked that you didn’t want to share me with anyone."

He really did.

Xavier lived for it, in fact. And he was pretty sure that knowing this could sustain him through any future hardship.

Luca could only gasp at the vulnerability in Xavier’s eyes as his heart did a few flips.

Then did he like that too?

Was he also like this because he liked hearing Xavier talk about these times he got jealous?

For the longest time, he’d always been at the bad end of someone’s jealousy. Always experiencing retaliation for something he must have done.

But to hear that Xavier was like this for him?

*Ba-dump!*

Yeah.

It seems that he liked that, too.

Luca bit his lip softly, heart racing as he whispered shakily in a voice that was barely audible yet sincerely honest, "I—Me too..."

But more importantly, he didn’t think he’d like to hear Xavier say these things to anyone else.

The Prince wasn’t expecting Luca to say it like this. If anything, he was already glad that somewhere out there, his little chipmunk unconsciously felt something.

But to hear it like this?

To somehow verify that it was okay for him to allow some breathing room for his possessiveness?

It was now his turn to be stunned.
