Chapter 5 - Chapter 5 – Her Blessing Is Mine

I walked into the royal court with one goal: Don't pop a boner… and don't get erased.

The Hall of Concord was built to impress—and to intimidate.

White marble. High vaulted ceilings. Stained glass depicting the Seven Founding Queens.Rows of nobles lined the golden carpet, eyes sharp with suspicion. Most had probably killed people with a glance and a signature.

[Quest Objective: Survive the Royal Court]

(Warning: System scan in 3 minutes. Camouflage protocols initiated.)

I wore ceremonial robes that clung tighter than my sanity. The velvet across my chest had golden vines stitched into it—subtle, elegant, and cursedly warm.

Queen Celestia stood beside me at the throne's edge.

She looked like she'd already won.

Tight bodice, plunging neckline, and a golden sash that drew attention to the dangerous curve of her waist.

She leaned close and whispered, "Let me do the talking. You do the smiling."

Then she stepped forward.

"Lords and Ladies," she declared, "the court recognizes Kaius Vale—a summoned candidate under Royal Warding and Spiritual Review."

Murmurs broke out. Mostly men. Mostly older.

I felt their eyes on me. Some curious. Some jealous. A few… calculating.

A high priest stepped forward, holding a scanning rod.

"Permission to assess the hero's system class."

I tensed. My instincts screamed no.

But Celestia raised her hand.

"Denied."

Another wave of murmurs.

"My ward's class is under divine anomaly lock," she said smoothly. "Interference could trigger a second awakening—or worse."

The priest hesitated, then bowed. "As you decree, Your Majesty."

But it wasn't over yet.

A noblewoman stepped forward—tall, dark-skinned, eyes like storm clouds in silk. Lady Talraine. A duchess. MILF.

[MILF Detected: Duchess Talraine – Unbonded]

"Perhaps a better test," she purred.

She walked like a slow storm wrapped in silk. 

Ample hips. Silver cuffs. A knowing smile that promised danger or delight—probably both.

Her gaze lingered on me. Not like I was prey. 

Like I was being… appraised.

*Why are all the MILFs built like final bosses?*

"Charm us. Speak, boy. Prove you belong among gods and queens."

[New Sub-Quest: Impress the Court]

I swallowed hard.

Everyone watched.

Celestia tilted her head, amused.

I could feel sweat sliding down my back.

One wrong word. One flicker of system instability. 

And a divine Watcher might decide I wasn't worth the anomaly risk.

*Say something honest,* I told myself. *Not safe. Just true.*

So I spoke.

"I was summoned with no warning. Given a name I never chose. But I've been offered shelter, protection… and trust."

I looked at Celestia.

"She took a risk to protect me. And I will repay it—not with blind loyalty, but with earned power."

A pause.

I stepped forward slightly.

"I don't know what you all want from your heroes. But if it's obedience… you summoned the wrong man."

Silence.

Then Talraine laughed softly.

"Well said."

Several MILFs nodded in approval.

Several men looked disappointed. A few looked furious.

But the MILFs?

They leaned in.

Lady Talraine's smile turned sharper—like a wine glass balanced on a dagger. 

She didn't just approve of my words. 

She enjoyed watching me sweat through them.

*That's the problem with powerful women.* 

*You never know if they're going to knight you… or keep you.*

And right now, I was fine with either.

Celestia smiled. Not fake. Not political. Real.

"Court adjourned," she said.

And we walked out together—her hand lightly brushing my arm.

[System Alert: Divine Watcher Signal Holding Steady]

[Exposure: 14% – Status: Contained but Escalating]

*They're still watching me,* I realized. 

Not just the nobles. 

Not just Celestia. 

But the system itself. Some god—or glitch pretending to be one—was staring straight into my code.

And the scariest part?

It still couldn't figure out what I was.

Back in the hall, she didn't speak.

But her fingers lingered longer than they needed to when she let go.

I didn't know if I'd passed a test or walked into another one.

But the way she touched me… 

And the way Talraine looked at me…

*The court didn't trust me yet.* 

*But some of them definitely wanted to keep me.*

*I should've felt relieved.*

Instead, all I could think about was what came next.

A duchess with eyes like storms. 

A Queen who didn't sleep alone. 

And a class that kept waking up in ways I couldn't control.

*Yeah. Totally under control.*
