The Royal Military Academy's Impostor Owns a Dungeon [BL] novel Chapter 1122

Chapter 1122: Peace Offerings

"Kyle! Kyle! What’d he say? Was Owen mad?"

The blonde looked genuinely distressed as he asked the question. Earlier, he’d outright covered his ears while Kyle spoke to his younger brother because he was too afraid to hear Owen’s reaction in real time.

Unfortunately, not hearing it had proven just as torturous because now his imagination was free to come up with increasingly terrible possibilities.

"Kyle!"

Ollie grabbed his husband and tried shaking him for answers. The attempt was largely unsuccessful since the extremely solid man barely moved an inch, but the sentiment remained.

The adjutant considered the question for a moment before finally admitting, "I’m not quite sure."

"Huh? What do you mean you’re not sure?!" Ollie immediately asked, already biting at his nails like a man preparing for the worst.

"He didn’t exactly get the chance to react." Kyle rubbed his temple. "The only thing he managed to ask was whether we were actually married-married."

"Waaah! I knew it! I KNEW ITTTT!"

The blonde’s expression instantly crumpled as he dramatically flopped around.

"He hates me, doesn’t he?! But I swear I didn’t do it on purpose! I didn’t mean to forget to tell my siblings about it, but we’ve just been really busy!"

"Even snack time got downgraded into working snack time, so it’s not like I’m exaggerating!"

The blonde continued pacing, and by then even the silent sworn brother was concerned.

"Well, brother, I don’t think Owen would be mad at you." Luca immediately stepped in, looking surprisingly confident despite never having had biological siblings himself. "He’s such a nice kid! Besides, everything happened very suddenly. It’s not like you were trying to hide it from them."

"You think so?"

The golden-eyed only child nodded reassuringly.

Admittedly, his own experience only involved accidentally forgetting to inform his parents about life-changing developments rather than the siblings he didn’t really have, but he felt the underlying principle was similar enough.

Of course, this was also coming from someone completely oblivious to the fact that the Duke’s reaction couldn’t possibly be considered normal.

Then again, how else was anyone supposed to convince a son who could only ever see his father in the best possible light?

"..."

Meanwhile, Kyle, the person who actually spoke to the teen, finally finished explaining what had actually happened.

"He fainted."

"..."

"..."

Ollie stared.

"I called the office and asked someone to check on him, but yes, the reason I don’t know how he truly felt about it is because he tapped out before we reached that point." Kyle sighed before adding, "At the very least, he’s aware he’ll be taking time away from school to attend the licensure exam."

"HUHUHU! KYLEEEEE!"

The barnacle immediately attached itself to his husband.

Kyle accepted this development with the resignation of a man who actually legally signed up for this.

"Not just Owen, but your other siblings too. We’ll talk to them properly the soonest we can meet them," he said while patting the blonde’s head.

"Hopefully they like the apology gifts."

Unfortunately, those words nearly made Ollie choke.

See, the reason why Owen had not been made aware of the mecha that was supposed to get into his hands was due to several reasons.

Sure, there were defensive moves at play in this decision, but the biggest thing was because Ollie, the newly married mop, suddenly remembered that he needed to compensate for failing to inform his siblings about the massive change in his life.

The official ceremony would happen later, and they would all be invited to participate. He’d even thought about how nice it would be.

"This is my apology to Owen!"

"Well, not this one," Ollie hurriedly corrected. "This is the trial unit! The one I build during the exam will be the actual gift!"

Hearing that, Killian slowly turned toward the partially completed machine standing inside the workshop.

Then he very carefully reconsidered his next words.

"I see."

The Chief of Staff nodded.

"Well, if that’s the case, then I think it’s a very good representation of the sun. It’s very... unique."

"Really?!"

Both Luca and Ollie immediately looked at him with sparkling eyes.

The sort of eyes that clearly expected further elaboration.

Unfortunately, Killian was also aware of two other pairs of eyes.

Specifically, the ones attached to the towering idiots standing behind the mechanics who were currently staring at him as though his continued survival depended entirely on his next sentence.

"Yeah," Killian said after weighing his options. "Really. I can feel a lot of emotions from it."

The answer seemed acceptable.

The two short mechanics immediately brightened and began celebrating the compliment while Killian focused very hard on not looking at the two men behind them.

Honestly, he felt that had gone rather well.

At this point, he couldn’t possibly lose every battle in life, right?
