She looked like sin draped in silk. And I was the curse her system tried to forget.
I didn't sleep.
Not after what happened in the bath. Not after her lips brushed my cheek and the system gave me Intimate status like it was a reward for surviving a war.
I paced the chamber until sunrise, trying to breathe through the chaos in my chest.
[New Quest Active: Survive the Royal Court]
(Reminder: Charm overload imminent. Avoid public erections.)
I nearly threw a pillow at the system screen.
The door opened.
No knock. No guards.
Queen Celestia walked in alone.
This time in full regalia—tight corset, flowing dark crimson gown with golden embroidery that curved like flames up her thighs and over her hips. Her cloak hugged her like a royal second skin. Every step she took made the air smell of roses and regret.

She sat on the edge of my bed without asking.
"I suppose you want answers now," she said quietly.
I sat across from her.
"I think I deserve them."
I didn't know what I was expecting—an excuse, a lie, maybe another kiss.
But not this. Not fear in the eyes of the most powerful woman I'd ever met.
She didn't argue.
She unfastened her gloves slowly, as if undressing for a memory instead of a man.
"My father was the last one to see that class. MILF Hunter. It wasn't called that, of course. The name changes every generation the system can't control it."
She looked at me, and I saw it. Real fear.
"I watched him die when I was seven. Not from war. From them. The Watchers. The ones who clean the system."
Her voice cracked. Just once.
And for a moment, the Queen wasn't a MILF, a monarch, or my system's favorite trigger.
She was just a daughter—one who watched a man disappear for reasons the world never explained.
Power through desire.
Emotional dominion.
Forbidden for being too human.
What kind of world was this, where touch was corruption and closeness was a crime?

"They said he corrupted the divine cycle. That no man should draw power from connection. Especially not with women who were…" She hesitated. "Experienced."
"Why?"
"Because the world runs on innocence. On purity. Power through experience? Through touch, through desire? It scares the system. Because it can't measure it."
She reached out and touched my hand.
Her fingers curled between mine.
I didn't pull away.
I didn't want to.
And maybe that was part of the problem. Every time she touched me, the system fed on it. Bonded deeper. Reacted faster.
But this time, it felt different.
Like she wasn't just binding me to her.
Like she was… afraid of losing me too.

"You're not just a Hero, Kaius," she whispered. "You're a key. A catalyst. And they'll try to erase you before you ever find out what door you unlock."
The air grew colder.
A ripple passed through the wall. Like a glitch in reality.

*Shit.*
I clutched my chest like it would help.
The air felt heavier—coded and divine, like something in the walls had started listening.
We both flinched at the same time.
"You felt that?" I asked.
She nodded. "It's begun."
Her voice was steel now.
"Tomorrow, you'll be presented in court. They'll try to scan your class again. You must not let them. If they see what you are…"
She stood. Her gown shimmered in the light.
Her curves moved like the answer to a prayer no god dared answer.
"You'll use your blessing to distract, to charm, to survive. I've trained diplomats to lie since they could walk. But you…" She smiled darkly.
"You'll do it with your presence."
[New Quest: Win the Court]
(Objective: Use [Matriarch's Blessing] to survive the political ritual without full class exposure.)
Then she walked past me, pausing just long enough to whisper:
"Tonight, if you can't sleep again… my chamber door might forget to lock."
And then she was gone.
I wasn't sure if she was offering safety. Or a test I couldn't pass without breaking something sacred.

*Oh good,* I thought. *I leveled up from emotional trauma and accidental foreplay.*
*Living the dream.*
I wasn't ready for court. I wasn't ready for surveillance.
But if my body could distract nobles the way it distracted her…
*Then maybe I didn't need to fight the system.*
*Maybe I just needed to out-charm it.*
