Archer smiled as he began speaking to the Brownie’s leader. “I can make you a new home, or you can stay here. It’s up to you, Twigg.”
Twigg stepped forward and bowed while making a request, “We would prefer to stay below the treehouse, but could you give us more space, please, Master Archer?”
He nodded in agreement. Closing his eyes, he visualized the Brownie’s home expanding, tripling in size to accommodate their needs.
Additionally, he created an underground chamber beneath their home, only accessible through a concealed staircase in one corner.
Opening his eyes, Archer walked over to the entrance and cast Mana Manipulation to hide it using earth magic.
He teleported himself into the underground chamber, noting the presence of the staircase, and concealed it in the same manner as the entrance.
To ensure the protection of his lair, Archer summoned a massive Stone Man, twice the size of an ordinary one, and ordered it to guard the now-hidden doorway.
With this added layer of security, he felt confident that his sanctuary would remain safe. Turning his attention to the large chamber, Archer admired the result of his efforts.
The place seemed untouched by time, its vastness holding endless possibilities. “This is it,” he whispered to himself, a grin spreading across his face.
In his mind’s eye, Archer could already envision the perfect dragon lair.
It would have a comfortable nesting area made of plush moss and furs, where he could store all the treasures he’d collected during his adventures.
The walls would be adorned with intricate carvings, telling the tales of his triumphs and escapades, with torches lining the walls to create a warm and inviting atmosphere.
With a surge of excitement, Archer summoned his magical powers, and sparks of blue and gold danced around his fingertips as he started to shape the chamber according to his desires.
The moss rose and twirled, forming a luxurious bed fit for a dragon of his stature. Crystals embedded in the walls glowed with an enchanting radiance, casting mesmerizing patterns across the cavern.
As he worked, Archer’s mind overflowed with creativity, and he carved intricate symbols and patterns into the stone, each one representing a different aspect of his personality and strengths.
He wanted his lair to be a reflection of who he was, a sanctuary where he could be himself without any pretenses.
In one corner, he created a cozy reading nook, complete with empty bookshelves and a comfortable-looking chair.
It would be his private getaway, a place to escape the gang of cats he has managed to collect so far.
As the minutes passed, Archer poured his heart and soul into crafting his lair. The once barren chamber transformed into a majestic sanctuary that he loved.
But he wasn’t finished; he created a few rooms – one for storing extremely rare loot, another serving as a bedroom for his humanoid form, and finally, a room with an extremely comfortable bed.
Archer had a plan in mind; he wanted to bring one of the girls here and have his way with her whenever he wanted to,
The thought excited him, but he quickly calmed himself, reminding himself to be patient until tomorrow.
After reigning in his impatience, he took out the chests he had collected in his Item Box. Dozens of heavy chests materialized around him, and he couldn’t help but feel thrilled at the sight.
With eager anticipation, he began opening the chests, revealing thousands of gold and silver coins, precious gems, rare stones, and mysterious Mana stones whose purpose he wasn’t entirely certain of.
Archer meticulously stacked dozens of chests together, saving one in his Item Box for convenient purchases during his travels.
As he stepped back, he couldn’t help but admire the substantial pile he had created. However, his ambition remained insatiable; he yearned for even more.
In a moment of brilliance, he decided to go on a bandit-hunting adventure the next morning to clear out the troublesome bandits and outlaws in the northern part of the Solari Empire.
Nodding with a smile, he took one last glance at his amassed hoard before leaving his lair, his excitement was soaring.
Emerging from his hiding place, he set out to find Hemera. After a thorough search, he eventually discovered her concealed in a quiet corner of the library.
Archer seized the opportunity to playfully sneak up on her and nibble her left ear, causing the startled girl to scream in fright.
Amused by her reaction, he couldn’t help but chuckle. She whirled around, giving him a series of playful slaps while scolding, “Arch! Why did you scare me? I was reading, you idiot.”
After indulging in some banter, she smiled warmly and inquired, “Now, my husband, how can I help you?”
Archer’s face lit up with delight at her question, and he responded, “Where are all the bandits hiding in the Empire?”
Hemera looked at him with narrowed eyes and asked, “Why do you want to find bandits?”
Archer responded with a big smile, “I want their treasures, my Sun.”
She was taken aback by the name he called her and tilted her head, sporting a small smile. “Why are you calling me your Sun?”
He smiled warmly and explained, “You’re beautiful, bright, and bring happiness. It’s a perfect name for a girl like you.”
Hemera was extremely happy when she received a pet name and lunged at him. Her actions shocked Archer, but he embraced her and hugged her tightly.
Archer hugged her for a while as they sat in the library, they separated before she started speaking.
She also informed him about the ongoing pirate problem that the first prince is trying to deal with and all the bandits that infest the east coast but Archer decided he would help out with the bandits at least.
Gazing at the girl, he spoke after she finished talking, “Well, in the morning, I’ll take care of all the bandits and outlaws first, and then I’ll assist your brother with the pirates.”
Hemera’s smile brightened as she set aside her book and inquired, “What’s driving your desire for all that gold?” .
Archer found himself momentarily caught off guard by the question, prompting introspection. After a brief pause, he candidly responded, “It’s greed.”
Upon hearing his response, she gazed at him, shaking her head with an amused smile. “I suppose that’s to be expected from a dragon who hoards gold, princesses, and whatever else catches your fancy.”
The two of them started laughing and picked up some tomes. Seated in the cozy corner of the library, Archer and Hemera exchanged playful glances amidst the hushed whispers of pages turning.
A gentle, flickering radiance emanated from the sconces, bathing the room in a comforting embrace of light.
Archer, his attention seemingly absorbed by a tome detailing ancient artifacts, stole a sidelong glance in Hemera’s direction.
“You know,” he began with a mischievous grin, “I heard that Elves have a weakness for riddles. Care to test your intellect?”
Hemera arched an eyebrow as she looked at her white-haired fiance, her lips curving into the same mischievous smile he had. “Oh, I see where this is going, if I win you owe me gold.”
Leaning in as if sharing a secret, Archer mused, “What’s a treasure that even the mightiest dragon can’t hoard?”
Hemera tapped her chin, feigning deep thought. “Hmm, let me think… A heart unclaimed?”
Archer chuckled, his eyes meeting hers in a shared moment of understanding. “You caught me. Here I was, hoping to impress you with a riddle, but it seems you’ve got the upper hand.”
Hemera’s laughter chimed like music in the quiet library. “Well, Archer, your riddles might not be a match for me, but I’m still waiting for that dragon-sized hoard of gold you promised me.”
Archer mockingly gasped, his hand on his chest. “Ah, you wound me! It’s not every day someone demands a dragon’s treasure, you know.”
Playfully, Hemera rolled her eyes. “I can’t help it if I have expensive tastes. What can I say? I’m a princess.” .
He laughed and she soon joined in, after calming down Archer stood up and leaned in placing a kiss on her forehead before speaking. ”I’m going to tell the girls my plans, I’ll speak to you soon my Sun.”
Archer turned on his heels and started walking out of the library while waving at the smiling Hemera.
He walked into the living room where he saw Ella in the kitchen cleaning up, he snuck up behind her and scared her as well.
But she turned around and threw a wet sponge at him, Archer cast blink and reappeared behind her and slapped her ass.
Ella went red but he didn’t stop there as he got up behind her and started fondling her boobs making her pinch him.
When he saw her face it was bright red and she looked embarrassed.
