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!]

[Congratulations on completing three Unstoppable Quests back to back. You are truly unstoppable.]

[Quest Completion: 3/3]

[Gained Unstoppable Points: 100]

[Note: Unstoppable Points can be used for increasing stats, leveling up traits or skills, or merging abilities, etc. Be careful how you use them, as they are very precious.]

[Congratulations! You successfully awakened a new feature of the Unstoppable System: Daily Quest]

[Daily Quest: A set quest will be assigned each day, tailored to your current actions and progression. Rewards will be scaled accordingly.]

'Unstoppable Points?? Daily Quest?'

Liam analyzed the prompt he heard, but his mood didn't improve because of it. After all, he just realized the reason why Seraphina was so excited just now.

'Moonlit Physique, so it is really related to the Moon Goddess?'

Liam thought, feeling bitter.

'But why the heck does Fiora have this physique? Why don't I know?'

He tried to recall such a plot in the novel but found nothing. In fact, Seraphina did discover this physique later on, but it wasn't Fiora at all.

But when he remembered what she tried to do to that girl with that physique, Liam visibly shivered.

'Damn! I'm in danger!'

"Hmm? Are you feeling unwell?"

Liam was still near Seraphina when she immediately noticed his odd behavior and asked him gently.

However, for Liam, who knew he was now in deep trouble, her kindness didn't make him feel any better.

He didn't even have the mood to care about her beauty.

"Uhum, no, your majesty. I was just a little too excited that I could awaken my class."

Still, Liam controlled himself and replied with a smile, trying to steady his thoughts.

"Umm... that's understandable."

Queen Seraphina nodded and then, as if suddenly remembering something, she continued,

"Oh, right. After awakening your class, you can visit me again. I have a good opportunity for you."

She said casually and waved her hand.

"Okay, you can now leave. As for the kidnapping case, I've already taken care of it. So, don't worry about it."

She ordered them and leaned against her chair, closing her eyes as if taking a rest.

"Thank you, your majesty, for your help. Haha... don't worry, I will take him to meet you once he awakens his class."

After hearing her order, Duke Cromwell, who had been silently standing, finally spoke with a smile.

Then, he signaled Liam to follow him with his eyes and quickly left the chamber, not wanting to disturb her rest.

'Visit you again? Who are you kidding? Do you want to kill me and take my physique?'

Liam twitched the corner of his mouth and swore he wouldn't come here even if his father asked.

Afraid to stay with her alone, he immediately caught up with his father and left the chamber swiftly at a rapid pace.

"Hmm... Moonlit Physique!"

As soon as both father and son disappeared from the chamber, Seraphina's eyes snapped open, her expression turning serious as she murmured something under her breath.

"Although I finally found what I'm looking for, how can a man...?"

She paused, still feeling unreal.

As far as she knew, there had never been a case of a man possessing such a body.

But she couldn't deny what she had already confirmed.

"Is it... true that the Goddess has really... fallen from grace?"

For the first time in her life, Seraphina truly thought something might be wrong with the Moon Goddess.

Besides this, she couldn't think of any other reason.

'Forget it. Let's just prepare for the physique extraction. Since it's from the boy, the known method might not work. It seems I need to let him develop the physique for a while.'

She thought, making plans with dark eyes devoid of emotion.

"Drakari, let yourself wait for a while. I will show you who you provoked after I completely integrate my legacy."

At last, she mumbled with intense hatred before suddenly vanishing from her position, leaving the empty throne behind.

The faint echo of her presence lingered in the air, as if even the shadows dared not fill the space she left.
