I wasn't her son. But I was sleeping in her palace now… under her protection, and her rules.
The palace chamber they gave me was larger than my entire apartment back home.
Velvet drapes. Marble floors. A bed that could host a royal orgy.
I stood awkwardly by the balcony, Velmiran wind brushed against my skin like whispered judgment. Somewhere in the palace, bells chimed the hour. And here I was—topless, classless, and hunted by my own stats.
A day ago, I had ramen and a job interview. Now I had a queen with bedroom eyes and a system that pulsed every time I looked at her collarbones.
I was also still trying to process the pop-ups flickering in my peripheral vision.
[Class: MILF Hunter]
[Quest Active: The Queen's Secret]
No updates since this morning. No guides. No skill tree. Just a class name that sounded like a joke… or a trap.
I was just about to lie down when a system ping pulsed across my vision.
[Proximity Alert – High-Level MILF Approaching]
Warning: Prepare for psychological disorientation
Great. I was getting a warning for arousal now.
The door opened.
Two maids bowed and stepped aside. And there she was again.
Queen Celestia Velmira. In a crimson dressing gown. Silken. Barefoot. Hair undone.
She moved like molten gold poured into the shape of power.
My brain short-circuited.

"You're still awake." She stepped inside and closed the door behind her.
"I—yeah. Hard to sleep when your class says… that."
She approached the wine cabinet and poured herself a glass. Then, to my surprise, she poured a second one… and handed it to me.
Our fingers brushed again.Same jolt. Same system ping.
Same jolt. Same heat. But it felt stronger this time—like the system had stopped warning me and started encouraging me.
Was that… a stat up? From touching her? Was that going to be a thing now?Because I was going to need gloves. Or restraints. Or both.

"You've been summoned into a world of chaos, lies, and expectations," she said softly. "No one here cares what you feel. They care what you can offer."
I took the glass and stared at her. "So what do you want from me?"
A long pause. She sipped her wine, then turned and leaned against the edge of my bed.
"I want to see if your class is real."
I nearly choked. "What?"
"Don't misunderstand." Her voice dropped. "The moment I saw that system alert… I knew what kind of power had touched you. It's old. Forbidden. Divine. It was sealed away generations ago."
"You knew about the MILF Hunter class?"
She actually smirked. "No. But I knew the type. The system doesn't make mistakes — unless it's remembering something it was told to forget."
Her eyes locked on mine. "And that makes you dangerous."
My heart pounded.
She finished her wine in one slow pull. Then she walked over, gently took my glass, and set it aside.
"You'll stay here under royal protection," she said. "Officially, you're a Holy Candidate under review. Unofficially? You're mine."
"Yours?"
She stepped in close, her breath warm against my neck.
"Mine to watch." Her finger trailed down my collarbone."Mine to test." She pressed her palm flat against my chest, just over my heart."Mine to keep secret." Her lips didn't touch me, but they came close. So close I could taste rosewater and danger.
The system chimed softly.

I blinked.
The pop-up shimmered as she walked away.
"One more thing," she added from the doorway. "My chamber is across the hall."
She didn't look back.
"But if you enter without permission… your class won't be the only forbidden thing you'll need to worry about."
She left me standing there with a glass, a new skill, and something even worse than confusion: anticipation.
I wasn't sure if she wanted to protect me… or break me.
And either way, I was starting to want both.
The door closed behind her.
And I stood there, fully awake, half-terrified… and already halfway to addicted.
I checked the hallway twice that night. Just in case the system needed a reason to activate again.
