'She looks breathtaking!'
Liam couldn't help but have this thought unconsciously without even realizing it.
Queen Seraphine was a natural charmer through and through. To be honest, even Liam felt tempted by her mere appearance, her allure reaching an almost overwhelming level.
Although Fiora had her own charm, in front of Queen Seraphine, she was a few points below.
'With that smile and her amiable look, who would have thought she was a villainess who wants to usurp the throne?'
Liam thought bitterly and was about to divert his eyes away from the Queen when, suddenly, Seraphine's emerald-green eyes looked directly at him.
It was so instantaneous that it seemed she had sensed his gaze even without looking, or even what he was thinking.
"Hehe… you are right. He is indeed reckless."
Queen Seraphine suddenly giggled after seeing a surprised look on Liam's face. However, there was also some interest in her eyes that was hard for anyone to detect.
'Damn! Did I shoot myself in the foot?'
Liam couldn't help but curse himself when he saw Seraphine looking at him with interest. If she found something odd with him, he might not survive today.
"Liam Cromwell, it seems you haven't awakened your class yet."
Fortunately for him, Seraphine asked about his class after scanning his body. It seemed she was just amused by his gaze, nothing more.
"Yes, Your Majesty. I have yet to awaken my class."
Liam breathed a sigh of relief and quickly responded, trying to calm himself.
Although it was a false alarm, he had already decided to be careful when in the presence of a powerful figure from now on.
"Hmm… I can see, come here!"
Queen Seraphine nodded and suddenly waved her hand, adorned with intricate silver rings, signaling Liam to come closer.
"Excuse me?"
However, Liam was confused and blurted out a question just as a sharp slap landed on his shoulder, followed by his father's stern voice ringing in his ears.
"Ouch!"
"Your Majesty is asking you to come close. Why are you questioning her?"
Duke Cromwell gnashed his teeth in frustration, seeing his son's stupid look, and pushed him directly towards the throne, causing Queen Seraphine to giggle lightly.
"Hehe… It's okay, Duke Cromwell. No need to be so strict with me."
She lightly brushed off the situation, looked at Liam, who was caressing his shoulder in pain, and said with a smile,
"Come closer, and I will check your body to see if you are ready to awaken your class."
Her calm eyes settled on Liam, refusing to reveal her true thoughts.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
This time, Liam hurriedly nodded and made his way forward, not wanting to endure another slap on his shoulder.
'Can't this geezer slap lightly? Damn old man, I've already written this in my book. Just wait…'
He cursed the old man and finally made his way to the throne, where the mature figure of Seraphine was waiting for him.
"Give me your hand."
As soon as Liam came closer, Queen Seraphine suddenly lifted her fair arm and asked him to place his hand on hers with a smile.
Liam noticed that up close, Queen Seraphine was even more beautiful; her flawless skin glowed softly, and her voluptuous body, though regal and composed, had a devilish allure that was filled with temptation.
Honestly, she was the embodiment of M…
Fortunately, this time Liam was prepared and didn't let any thoughts slip through his mind.
Instead, he quickly placed his hand atop hers, feeling a little awkward.
'Why do I feel weird? Isn't it supposed to be the opposite?'
Liam couldn't stop his thoughts as he felt the softness and warmth against his skin, his gaze falling on their perfectly aligned hands, almost like that of a couple.
Just when Liam had that thought, a crisp sound suddenly rang out, followed by a transparent panel appearing in his mind, filled with streams of information.
[Ding!]
[You have been asked by Queen Seraphina to place your hand atop hers. As a carrier of the Unstoppable System, you cannot be lame.]
[Congratulations! A new Quest has been activated: Your Hand Belongs To Me!]
[Your Hand Belongs To Me! – Instead of allowing Queen Seraphina to grab your hand in submission, grab hers instead and show her that you are truly unstoppable.]
[Condition: Hold Queen Seraphina Vaeloria's hand and don't let go for at least one minute. The longer you hold, the greater the reward you get.]
[Reward: ??]
[Penalty for Failure: Permanent disappearance of the Unstoppable System.]
[Quest Progress: 2/3]
'Oh come on!'

"Hmmm… although your body is a little weak, I feel that you are now ready to awaken your class."
Queen Seraphina quickly sent a sliver of mana into Liam's body and spoke without noticing the weird expression that suddenly appeared on Liam's face.
Instead, her focus was completely on the true mana she subtly sent to the core of Liam's physique.
'I am getting that feeling again. Is it really that physique?'
Seraphine thought, feeling a little elated. Earlier, when Liam looked at her, she felt an extremely subtle reaction from her divine core.
If she weren't a Fifth Tier Elven Mage, she wouldn't have noticed.
And such a reaction from such a weak person in front only meant that he had the physique that could resonate with the Moon Goddess.
Otherwise, why would she grab an unknown man's hand just to check his qualifications?
'Wow… It really is the Moonlit Physique, although it is at its early stage.'
It didn't take long for Queen Seraphine to notice Liam's strangeness, as her breathing visibly quickened with excitement.
Even in her fervor, she failed to realize when Liam subtly shifted their grip, his fingers wrapping fully around hers and turning their hands over, making it appear as though he was the one taking the lead.
'Moonlit Physique. It's really the Moonlit Physique. But… how can a man have this physique?'
Seraphine was so excited and confused that her huge bosom under her dress undulated up and down restlessly without her knowledge.
She was having difficulty controlling her emotions, causing both Liam and Duke Cromwell to get confused.
While Liam was having a hard time not looking at those mountains dancing in front, his father was instead totally confused.
'What happened to Her Majesty?'
Duke Cromwell thought that what he was seeing was completely different from the actual situation of Liam and Queen Seraphine.
He saw that Liam was firmly holding the Queen's hand in his, their grip resembling that of lovers, while the Queen herself seemed entirely absorbed in the moment, her expression alight with barely contained exhilaration.
'Is my son a natural charmer or what?'
He couldn't help doubting his own judgment.
'Damn! System, do you want me to die?'
