'Damn! System, do you want me to die?'
While the Duke was confused, Liam, on the other hand, was busy cursing the system in his mind. He never in his dreams thought the system would pit him with a quest like this.
Holding a Queen's hand for one minute—that too of a villainess? Wasn't this asking him to die?
'Fortunately, she seemed distracted.'
This time, Liam was ready to abandon the quest.
To hell with an unstoppable system. If it wanted to leave, it could leave.
Even if he completed the quest, if he died, what use did it have?
However, just when Liam was about to do that, he suddenly saw Seraphina lost in her thoughts, examining his body.
Even when he looked directly at her, he saw no reaction.
So, although he had a bad feeling about this, he quickly changed his mind and grabbed the opportunity, thereby starting the timer on the mission panel.
'Please, get distracted for another 30 seconds and I'm good,' Liam thought nervously, as he saw the undulating mountains in his peripheral vision steadily sinking lower and lower.
He swore he had never experienced 30 seconds feeling so unbearably long in his entire life.
Unfortunately for him, although Queen Seraphina lost her composure for a few seconds, she quickly gathered herself.
Then, as if realizing her loss of composure, she suddenly smiled and said something appropriate to Liam,
"Okay, there is nothing wrong with your body. You can start preparing for your awakening as soon as you—"
"Hmm?"
She was about to conclude her speech gracefully when she noticed her hand was firmly grasped by Liam; unlike before, their hold was unmistakably intimate and inappropriate.
She could even feel the weird gaze from Duke Cromwell.
Fortunately, in the entire chamber, only three of them were there and nobody saw them in this position.
Still, Queen Seraphina's eyes suddenly got cold, and the temperature in the entire room dropped by a few degrees.
The one who was closer to her, Liam, visibly tensed as he bore her incredible aura directly.
"Haha… are you sure, Your Majesty? Can I really awaken a class?"
Just when the situation was about to turn worse, a hearty laughter from Liam echoed around the entire chamber, followed by his excited shout.
"So, even I can awaken a class, huh? That's wonderful. Thank you, Your Majesty. Thank you, Your Majesty."
Liam suddenly showed an excited look on his face as if he didn't see the Queen's cold gaze and shook her hand up and down in joy.
He didn't let her go even while acting joyfully.
After all, he was only 5 seconds away from getting the quest completed. How could he leave now after coming this far?
"Please, Your Majesty, can you tell me which class I should choose?"
Liam then asked the Queen with clear eyes filled with expectation. From the way he looked, he genuinely seemed to want to know.
He really squeezed out every ounce of acting talent he had, causing Queen Seraphina to finally calm down at the sight of his innocent expression.
"Just awaken to the mage class like your father. Your Cromwell family has a complete heritage, and you won't be confused."
Queen Seraphina finally calmed down and forcefully withdrew her hand from Liam's.
'Well, no wonder he kidnapped the bride. All men are the same. Heh… let him live for a while. I first need to know why a Moonlit Physique appeared on a man.'
Seraphina thought while looking at Liam with her normal smiling eyes, causing a shiver to go down his spine.
'Damn! Why do I feel like she is targeting me?'
Although she was smiling, Liam felt that he was in danger.
'God damn, system, you are trying to kill me here.'
He cursed when the sudden prompt from the system sounded in his mind, making him feel at least a little better.

Maybe because Liam only held Queen Seraphina's hand for a minute, the reward this time was only one.
However, when Liam read through everything, he was shocked.
'Legacy of the First Elf Queen? Why am I getting this reward?'
His heart skipped a beat as he saw the name.
'Isn't this the plotline of Queen Seraphina?'
Liam remembered that in the novel The Return of the Emperor, it was mentioned that Seraphina Vaeloria was the bearer of the Elven Legacy of the First Queen.
It was given to her by her sister, who departed for the Lunaris Realm shortly after.
In fact, Queen Seraphina had trouble with the Drakari Empire because, soon after her sister's disappearance, the Empire declared that the Moon Goddess had fallen from grace.
Regardless, he knew that Seraphina was the holder of this legacy, and the only reason she wasn't able to completely integrate herself with it was because of the absence of a particular physique.
'Wait a minute, physique? Didn't I gain Moonlit Physique before?'
Liam suddenly remembered the name of the physique he received after completing the first Quest with Fiora.
However, before he could figure things out, he once again heard the prompt in his mind from the system:
[Ding!]
