Training with the Queen: The Secret of Vitality (1)
The next day, the entire royal capital was turned upside down. Every newspaper featured the news as their top headline.
- Legato Gear Guild Leader Han Seru Announces Two-Month Hiatus Due to Overwork!
- Rising Star of the Royal Music Scene Suspends All Activities
- His Divas Estelle, Rhea, and Princess Lirina All Say, "We Wish the Guild Leader a Speedy Recovery"
As I was enjoying such immense popularity, my sudden decision to stop working caused rumors to spread like wildfire.
"Is he suffering from some terminal illness?"
"He's probably made enough money to just slack off now."
I left those rumors behind and quietly stepped out of my residence. Queen Regina III’s carriage was waiting in front of the main gate. As the attendant opened the door, the golden-haired Queen smiled and held out her hand from inside.
"Good morning, Sir Seru."
"I apologize for being late; I was saying my goodbyes to the divas."
"They must have been quite sad, considering you'll only be gone for two months."
"Yes... they cried quite a bit."
I climbed into the carriage with my small travel bag. This was a journey to strengthen my vitality—a decision I made to survive. The guild work had been incredibly busy, but for now, setting everything aside to somehow restore my weakened stamina was my top priority. I had already informed the guild members and acquaintances that I was going to the Borus Kingdom for a retreat. With a light heart, I settled into the carriage.
"I am delighted to be returning with you, Sir Seru."
"The honor is mine, Your Majesty."
The carriage departed, followed by the Queen’s escort procession. The long line passed through the city gates, gradually moving further away from the capital. After a week of smooth travel, we finally arrived at the Borus Kingdom.
The Borus Kingdom was a city-state. It was a small country, with a total land area about the size of Noarbel, the capital of Edelan. However, the entire small territory was filled with sacred energy. As a holy nation that worshipped Gaia, the Goddess of the Earth, the royal palace itself was built like a massive temple, and the surrounding scenery was beautiful, dotted with numerous fountains where Gaia’s holy water sprang forth.
When we arrived at the palace, the nobles lined up to welcome us.
"This is Sir Han Seru, the Guild Leader of Legato Gear from the Edelan Kingdom."
"Oh, it is an honor to meet you. I hear you are going to compose a new Hymn to the Goddess."
The nobles greeted me warmly. I smiled and shook their hands.
"It is an honor. I will do my best to compose a fine piece with the grace of the Goddess Gaia."
From that day on, I was treated as a distinguished guest of the kingdom. I was assigned a spacious and luxurious suite, and every morning, I attended the prayer ceremony held at the Gaia Temple. In the mornings, I would take walks in the royal gardens or have tea and light conversation with Regina. In the afternoons, we enjoyed hunting or went on picnics together. Every evening, a banquet was held in my honor. While the nobles looked at me with curious eyes, calling me the "Genius Tuner of Edelan," Regina kept the true purpose of our visit strictly secret, under the pretext that "he is merely a guest who has come for the Hymn to the Goddess."
About three days later, Regina summoned me.
"The preparations are complete. Let us begin today."
"Yes."
I nodded firmly. This was the purpose of my coming here: to strengthen my vitality. I felt a bit nervous, mixed with the anticipation of what was to come.
We headed to the underground sanctuary. Alone with Queen Regina, I descended the secret stairs leading underground. The circular room at the end of the stairs was mystical. Light poured in through a transparent crystal ceiling, and the faint scent of incense filled the air. In the center lay a large, square bed. The blankets and sheets were luxurious. Regina pulled an old, leather-bound book from a wall drawer. The gold-embossed title, Earth Yin-Yang Copulation Art, shimmered in the light.
"Is this the secret technique?"
"Yes, this is it. It is the secret art passed down through generations of the Borus royal family to strengthen the King's vitality."
She opened the book and sat on the bed. I sat beside her to look at it together. As soon as the first page was turned, an intricately drawn illustration of a female's genitalia caught my eye. It was depicted in detail, from the labia, which spread softly like flower petals, to the wrinkled vaginal walls and the opening situated right in the center.
The first sentence of the book began like this:
"To become stronger, one must understand women."
The first sentence was clear and powerful.
"The foundation of the Earth Yin-Yang Copulation Art lies in harmony; a man must carefully explore a woman's body. The female genitalia is the gate of the earth and the fountain of life. Before opening that gate, one must know its shape, scent, texture, and reactions. The essence of copulation is not merely to reach excitement and penetrate, but to draw in the woman's Yin energy and circulate the Yang energy. A man who does not understand women will only deplete his own essence through copulation and can never become stronger."
My heart pounded as I read the passage. I felt a surge of excitement at the prospect of learning something new.
"...This is more direct than I thought."
Regina chuckled softly.
"Ancient secret arts do not speak in riddles."
She flipped through a few more pages. Every page was filled with illustrations of men and women entwined, circulating their energy. Each line was drawn with precision, and even the flow of energy was marked with arrows. The illustrations were so vivid that just looking at them made my body feel hot. It was also embarrassing to be looking at this with Queen Regina, who had never even been in a relationship.
"Do I... have to train according to this book?"
Regina nodded.
"Yes, the first step is the exploration of the female genitalia."
I scratched the back of my head, feeling awkward.
"By exploration... do you mean I have to look at it closely?"
"If you must understand a woman's body, you must look."
"But this..." I pointed to the book. "I think I need a woman to help me. I don't have... female genitalia."
A brief silence followed. Then, Regina gave a mysterious smile.
"I am right here."
I blinked.
"...Pardon?"
"I will assist you."
"Y-Your Majesty?"
"This is training to maximize Sir Seru's vitality."
She closed the book and continued. "This is an extremely secret ritual. It is also a royal secret art." Her green eyes stared straight at me. "It can never be entrusted to anyone else."
I was speechless for a moment.
"Still... wouldn't it be too much for Your Majesty to do it personally? How could I dare to look at the sacred body of one so divine..."
Regina shook her head.
"Sir Seru. Is this not a matter of life and death?"
"...That is true."
"It is only right that I, who possess medical knowledge, do it myself."
Another moment of silence passed.
"Do not worry." Her voice was calm. "This is not an obscene act, but training. And it is a matter of continuing the lineage of the Borus royal family's secret art of vitality enhancement. This is something I am doing voluntarily for that purpose. Do not be concerned. Let us begin as written in the book."
She stood up and slowly began to untie the straps of her dress. The dress slid down, revealing her shoulders. Soon, her voluptuous breasts were exposed. A pair of large breasts swayed with weight, and seeing her pink nipples sent a dizzying thrill through me. Following that, her slender waist, the smooth curve of her hips, and the alluring shape of her buttocks... Regina, now completely naked, displayed her body with confidence. I could see the golden pubic hair that had grown lushly to match her golden hair. That area, known as the Mound of Venus, was as smooth as if it had been sculpted by the Goddess Gaia herself.
"Your Majesty..." I swallowed hard. My heart was racing. At the same time, the feeling that I shouldn't be doing this vanished entirely. Only the desire to see more surged within me. Queen Regina sat on the edge of the bed without a hint of shame. Then, she slowly spread her legs and looked at me.
"Now, come closer and look."
I turned my gaze away in embarrassment, despite myself. 'I can see everything... the Queen's... vagina...' My face burned.
"Your Majesty, are you sure about this?"
"Do not be shy. This is training. For your vitality... and for our royal family. Come closer to me, kneel, and look closely."
I could no longer hesitate at her firm words. I cautiously approached her and knelt. As Regina spread her legs further, her vagina was clearly revealed before my eyes. The entrance, parted as precisely as if measured, the pink flesh, the faint wrinkles, and the moisture that seemed to be gathering between them... it shone faintly under the light from the ceiling. I felt as if a pleasant scent was wafting from it. A fresh, sweet... scent like the fountain of a goddess.
"Bring a candle... so you can see better." Regina said in a slightly trembling voice. She was pretending to be calm, but she was nervous too. I could see her cheeks were slightly flushed. I immediately picked up the candle from the side table and brought it close to her crotch. The warm light of the flickering flame illuminated her vagina even more clearly. Every wrinkle, a few stray hairs, the tightly closed slit of her vagina, and the vaginal wall at the entrance were laid bare. I could see the vaginal fluid glistening, and I could feel the entrance slightly parting and closing. I opened my eyes wide and stared intently at the magnificent sight.
'This is... Queen Regina's vagina... It's beautiful...'
I swallowed hard again. I'm excited... The penis inside my pants was slowly hardening.
"May I... touch it...?"
Regina's cheeks turned even redder. She slowly... nodded.
"As written in the book, feel the texture properly."
I reached out without hesitation. The moment my fingertips touched her vagina, a warm and soft sensation was transmitted to me.
"Hut..." Regina let out a small gasp. The training had truly begun.
