Chapter 21 - Chapter 21 – The Garden Beneath Her Gaze

The glyph was glowing in my spine.

The Queen was glowing with suspicion.

And the garden was about to get worse.

The shrine's echo still buzzed in my bones when I stepped out of the sub-pool chamber.

I was soaked. Shirtless. Reeking of divine fusion and MILF spirit residue.

Perfect time for someone to be waiting.

"Lovely evening," said a voice like velvet sharpened on steel.

I froze.

Queen Celestia Velmira stood beneath the arch, arms crossed, 

Her dress clung to her like a second skin—dark velvet molded to regal hips, tight across her full chest, with a slit high enough to make my brain lag. She wasn't just radiant.She was dangerous.And I was half-naked and recently blessed by MILF essence.Great.

[System Notice: Royal MILF Visual Disruption – Charm Resistance Check Failed]

[Status: Distracted. Fully.]

"Your Majesty," I said. Not a bow. Just enough head tilt to count as respect without committing to the full lie.

"Explain," she said.

"I was meditating."

[System Suggestion: Consider leveling up your lying. Or pretending to pray.]

She stared.

"Deeply."

[Warning: Royal Skepticism Detected – Suggest aura suppression or shirt application]

I didn't move. I didn't dress.

[Passive Trigger: Matriarch's Blessing]

(+30% Charm field stabilization in royal presence. MILF tension reduced by 12%.)

[Royal Presence Lv.1 – Active]

(MILF detection radius: expanded. Aura conflict: minimal.)

She stepped closer.

Her aura hit first — sharp, royal, familiar. And layered now with something I didn't like: scrutiny.

"You glow like a broken altar," she said. "And you look like you are trying to hide something."

"I wouldn't say broken."

"No," she said, stepping close enough that I could smell her perfume.

"You're worse than broken. You're rewritten."

Her eyes burned into me. And yeah, I looked again at here

Tight black dress. Low-cut. No sleeves. Just soft, perfect curves pushed up and barely contained. Her breasts were full, high, and moving with every breath she took — slow on purpose. The slit in her skirt ran high up her thigh, showing smooth skin and toned muscle with every step.

She leaned in — chest brushing mine.

Exposing eveything but the nipple.

So full they where aged like fine wine.

Then she spoke

"You've already seen everything," she said. "In the bath. Up close."

Her hand slid to my stomach. Fingers traced the lines above my belt.

"And if you stop playing with danger and wont betray me like now…" Her nails dragged lightly over my skin. "Maybe I'll let you feel what you've been staring at."

She smiled — not sweet. Knowing.

"Eventually."

[System Alert: MILF Affinity Triggered – Full Visual Sync Achieved]

[Warning: Royal MILF Cleavage at 92% Exposure Threshold]

[Charm Defense Reduced by 30%]

I swear if I gain a Royal Submission perk right now, I'm quitting this class.

[Skill Feedback: Shrine Resonance Lv.1]

(Aura stabilization holding. Sacred sync at 61%.)

[Matron Echo: Stabilizing – Anchor Sync 1/3 Holding]

I met her gaze. "I didn't betray you."

"No," she said. "You just fused with something old and dangerous without my permission."

Pause.

"Again."

That again landed like a whip crack.

[Reminder: Prior unauthorized fusions include: Matron Bond (climactic), Widow Sync (dominance-based). Royal Displeasure Level: Elevated.]

"Your Majesty, I'm trying to save a soul-tethered spirit MILF from divine erasure," I said. "Surely you can relate."

A slow blink.

Then she reached for my collarbone — not to touch. To trace it.

Her nail burned cold against my neck.

[Body Language Mastery Lv.1: MILF deception chance minimal. Emotional intensity: high.]

Her jaw didn't clench. Her fingers didn't twitch. But her aura told me everything.She was balancing between wrath and restraint — and my system didn't log that as survivable.

"Save her," she said. "But if her survival costs my sovereignty again…"

She didn't finish.

She didn't need to.

[New Sub-Objective Added – Keep the Queen's Dominance Stable During Shrine Syncing]

[System Observation: Threat Level Low. Emotional Marking Likely. Charm bonus in effect.]

Then she turned. "You've got dirt on your lips," she said.

I wiped it. 

Then looked back to speak.

Too late.

She was already walking away — hips swaying like she ruled gravity too.

The gown clung tight, every step a reminder that she wasn't just royalty.

She was a problem.

My problem.

And someday soon?

She'd be the queen at the center of my harem.

Whether the system liked it or not.

As I moved back toward the palace wall, the system pinged.

[Matron Glyph Sync: Holding Steady]

[Anchor Pulse Suggests Next Location – Shrine Echo Detected: Talraine's Southern Garden]

Talraine.

Of course.

The Duchess with the slow smile and the barely leashed power.

Her estate was a MILF magnet.

If the Matron's echo had landed anywhere next, it would be there.

[System Suggestion: Shirt Optional. Charm Mandatory.]

Great.

One glyph down.

Two to go.

And now I had to seduce a duchess, dodge divine audits, and keep the Queen from leashing me to her throne.

No problem.

The Matron's echo was heading toward Talraine.

And so was I.But first, I needed a shirt. Or maybe just a better excuse.
