A Journey That Changed The World.

Chapter 100 Returning Before The Celebration.

Archer stopped fussing over Sera and left her to do her own thing on his lap. He started eating but soon noticed Teuila looking at him as she ate.

”Whatʼs wrong?” he asked.

Teuila stopped eating. ”Nothing. You said you were banished from your family, but I pictured someone full of hate and not able to show the kind of faces you were when cuddling Sera.”

Archer just stared at her and let out a small chuckle, but soon answered with a voice full of pain and resolve.

”When I fell into that deep sleep, something in me changed. Whatʼs the point of holding onto all that hate? At first, I was angry, but whatʼs the point? In this world, I can do whatever I want, and go wherever I want. Iʼm not going to live in the past but look forward to the future.”

He picked up a piece of meat and ate it before continuing.

”But I havenʼt forgotten what theyʼve done to me, and I will get my revenge. However, thatʼs not important to me; itʼs just one of my many goals.”

Archer resumed eating as Teuila watched him. She started to eat before her curiosity took over.

”What are your goals?” she asked.

He sat there, lost in thought, pondering his goals. ʼWould it be gold, fame, or infamy that I want?ʼ

Suddenly, it clicked. ”Happiness,” he declared. ”Thatʼs my ultimate goal.”

Teuila was left baffled. What kind of goal was happiness? Archer noticed her confused expression and chuckled.

”Happiness can mean anything,” he explained. ”Not too long ago, I was in a dark place. But thanks to this little girl,” he said, grabbing Sera and planting a tender kiss on her head, ”Iʼve started to feel a lot better.”

”Itʼs not just her,” he continued. ”Itʼs all the people Iʼve met since I arrived here two years ago.”

Archer started overthinking until Teuila snapped him out of it.

ʼʼEat your food Archer and stop overthinking, itʼs not good for you.ʼʼ

Shaking his head in disbelief, Archer returned to his meal. He and Teuila finished their food and drinks when a loud voice interrupted their conversation.

”Your Majesty! I need to talk to you,” the voice boomed.

Teuilaʼs head snapped towards the source of the voice. Mohamet was standing below them with a brown-skinned woman and two young adults.

The eldest child was a striking girl with yellow eyes, short white hair, and horns like her motherʼs. She appeared to be around 20 years old, while the boy looked to be the same age as him.

Archer waved at Mohamet before leaving the balcony, with Teuila following behind. Soon, he was standing in front of the general.

Mohamet stepped forward and went down on one knee as he spoke. ”My King, thank you for helping me find my family and not judging me for being a Kagian general.”

Archer nodded in acknowledgment as Mohamet stood up and introduced his family.

”This is my wife, Jabeehah,” he said, gesturing toward the beautiful woman.

”And these are my children, Sarina,” he said, indicating a lovely young lady, ”and Tahir,” he added, pointing to the boy.

Archer nodded at Tahir, but his gaze lingered on Sarina.

He couldnʼt help but stare at Sarina. She had the same snow-white hair as him, but her eyes were yellow like her motherʼs.

Her curvy, lean body and medium-sized breasts made her all the more alluring.

As he was lost in thought, Sera bit his ear in jealousy, and Teuila dug her elbow into his side, annoyed by his behavior.

”Stop staring. Itʼs rude,” Teuila scolded him.

But Sarina spoke up with a wide grin on her face.

”I donʼt mind a handsome man admiring me, especially since Father speaks so highly of you, my king,” she said, bowing forward slightly, revealing some of her cleavage.

Archer chuckled at her boldness. ”Yes, thereʼs nothing wrong with admiring a beautiful woman,” he replied.

Jabeehah was happy that her daughter got on with their king. But as Mohamet went to talk Tahir spoke up.

ʼʼWhy were you staring at my sister like a pervert?ʼʼ

Archer turned his head to the boy and smiled as he approached him. He stopped in front of the Tahir.

Archer raised his hand while summoning his claws, admiring them before turning to the boy.

”Do you like my claws? Beautiful, arenʼt they?” he asked.

Tahir gulped and quickly nodded, while Mohamet and his wife burst out laughing. Archer dismissed his claws and chuckled.

”Itʼs nice to meet you three. Make yourselves at home in the domain. Your father or Jethro will help with whatever you need,” he said, closing his eyes to imagine three white dragon tokens.

He handed one to each of them, and when it came time to give one to Sarina, she was smiling at him.

Her eyes sparkled as she took the token and spoke. ”Thank you, your majesty.”

The family walked away, but Archer called out to Mohamet. ”General, be ready. I may need your help in the coming days.”

Mohamet turned and saluted with a big smile. ”Anything for you, your majesty. I shall speak to you and the princess at another time”

Sera bit Archer again when she caught him watching Sarina, causing him to flinch as her little teeth dug into his neck.

”Are you going to ogle every pretty woman you see?”

Archer shook his head. ”No, I wonʼt. It was only because sheʼs related to Mohamet and heʼs my general.”

She narrowed her eyes at him. ”Good.”

Archer called for a brownie, and Teon appeared instantly. ”How can I help, master?”

”Can you get Teuila a cloak and some boots that fit her? Weʼre headed to Vassia City, and she may get cold.”

Teuila overheard Archer talking to the little brownie and smiled, knowing that he was thinking of her.

A few minutes later, Teon reappeared, holding a pair of black boots and a black cloak. He handed them to her.

Slipping the boots on, she delighted in their comfort. Teuila glanced at Archer and offered her gratitude. ”Thank you.”

Despite their readiness to depart, Sera continued nibbling Archerʼs ear.

Archer commenced casting the newly crafted spell gate, envisioning the road where he first encountered Talila, the day they returned to the guild together.

”Gate.”

A large violet gate materialized in front of him, and he could see the trees of the Forsaken Forest swaying in the background.

Teuila looked at the gate in shock but ignored it, she had a feeling that she will experience a lot of things with him.

Archer stepped through it and looked around. He recognized the road instantly and saw Vassia City in the distance.

Teuila followed after him, taking in the dense forest and dark clouds. Archer knew it would rain soon, so he turned to her and spoke.

”Shall we head towards the city? The rain is coming soon, and it could be troublesome.”

As they walked, Teuila sped up to walk alongside Archer, who was leading the way. She turned her head towards him and asked a question that had been on her mind.

”Can I ask you something?”

He nodded in response.

”When my father betroths me to you, would I be able to go on adventures with you instead of staying in Aquaria?”

Archer stopped walking and looked at her, his eyes filled with warmth. ”Of course, you can. In fact, I canʼt wait until your father betroths you to me because so far you seem like a lovely girl.”

Teuilaʼs cheeks turned red as she looked away, but she felt happy for some reason.

As they continued walking, they saw many caravans passing by.

Teuila noticed that loads of the guards were staring at Archer, so she whispered, ”Why is everyone staring at you?”

Archer shrugged before he spoke.

”Maybe itʼs the four white horns on my head? Or the white scales running down my body? Or it could be my good looks and the beautiful girl beside me?”

They started laughing as Teuila jabbed his arm, and that was when he heard a womanʼs voice calling out to him.

ʼʼIs that you Archer?!ʼʼ

He turned around and saw the blonde-haired witch he met years ago, thatʼs when her name came to mind.

ʼRowana.ʼ

She walked up to him fast and he was attracted to the jiggling mountains, Teuila saw this and rolled her eyes as she mumbled.

ʼʼA handsome pervert.ʼʼ

Archer heard her and pinched her side making her yelp, he gave her a big smile as Rowana made it over to him.

Her eyes are as wide as saucers as she looked him up and down, he now stood at her height.

ʼʼWow, youʼve become a handsome young man Archer, how have you been? The last I heard about you, was that you were lost in the Eventide River.ʼʼ

As she was speaking she noticed the little fairy dragon and beautiful blue-haired girl and looked even more shocked.
