A Journey That Changed The World.

Chapter 314 My Cat Girl

He woke up when Talila tapped his head, Archer opened his eyes and saw a pair of beautiful red eyes staring down at him.

She spoke in an Enchanting voice. ʼʼWake up sleepyhead. Breakfast is done.ʼʼ

Archer smiled when he saw her, he sat up and stretched his arms. That was when he heard Teuilaʼs voice. ʼʼCome letʼs eat then go to the college.ʼʼ

With a nod of his head he got up and made his way over to the table as Ella put a plate of meat and what looked to be scrambled egg.

He thanked the half-elf as everyone joined in and started eating. After he was done Archer stood up as he spoke. ʼʼWhen do you want to leave?ʼʼ

But when he asked that he saw they were still eating, he shook his head. ʼʼNever mind, just join me when youʼre ready.ʼʼ

They all smiled as he cast Gate to the road that led to the college. Archer walked through and started making his way.

When he was walking down the road he remembered the reward he was owed, plus he would get another for dealing with the soldiers in the south.

He cast another gate to the elevator entrance, when the portal opened and he entered it all the guards panicked and started ordering him to stop.

Archer looked at them and laughed in their face as he summoned his wings. He took off and started flying toward the palace entrance.

The imperial guard reacted fast and sounded the alarm. As Archer flew through the garden while the soldiers scrambled.

Thatʼs when he spotted Leira walking through it. He landed behind her with a smile his fingers hooked around her swaying cat tail.

In an instant, he gave it a gentle, playful tug. Leiraʼs response was immediate. A startled yelp escaped her lips, and her cat tail twitched in shock.

She spun around with a blend of surprise and curiosity, her eyes locking onto Archerʼs with a mixture of annoyance and amusement.

His eyes met hers, an impish grin playing on his lips as he greeted her. ʼʼHello, my cat girl. How have you been?ʼʼ

Leira looked at him with narrowed eyes as her tail was standing straight, but thatʼs when the both of them heard footsteps approaching.

When the guard saw them he started shouting. ʼʼIntruder!ʼʼ

They rushed forward but were stopped by the princess. ʼʼWhoʼs the intruder? Him?ʼʼ

She pointed at Archer who had an innocent look on his face which made her laugh but she continued. ʼʼDo you know who he is?ʼʼ

The man shook his head causing Archer to chuckle but Leira answered. ʼʼHeʼs my fiance.ʼʼ

The guardʼs eyes opened when he heard the princess, he quickly bowed his head as he spoke. ʼʼSorry princess.ʼʼ

Leira nodded her head and dismissed the guard. ʼʼGo back to your post and inform the other guards of my guest.ʼʼ

He rushed off as Archer chuckled but soon he was pinched on his side and yelped as he jumped back.

When he looked at the cat girl he had a face like he had been wronged, causing her to giggle at his overreaction. 

ʼʼWhat are you doing breaking into the palace Archer?ʼʼ Leira asked him.

He laughed before answering. ʼʼWell, Iʼm here to collect my reward.ʼʼ

ʼʼReward? What did you do now?ʼʼ She asked in a curious voice as her green cat eyes sparkled.

Archer got lost as he examined the girl. She had her purple hair tied into a ponytail and was wearing a white princess dress.

He came out of his thoughts as he heard two pairs of footsteps coming in his direction so in inwardly grinned as he spoke. ʼʼYouʼre looking beautiful Leira. The way you have your hair is really nice.ʼʼ

When the princess heard his sweet words she blushed causing him to smile as he got closer and whispered into her ear. ʼʼI love cat girls. Iʼm glad your Father engaged you to me but thatʼs the only concession heʼs getting from me.ʼʼ

Leira looked at him with narrowed eyes when she heard him and was about to speak but he interrupted and continued speaking. ʼʼBut now Iʼve thought about it I want you and thereʼs no escape for you MY cat girl.ʼʼ

As he finished speaking Leira felt a shiver run down her body and her heart started beating as she looked at the handsome dragon in front of her.

ʼWhy is he so charming?ʼ She thought to herself.

Thatʼs when she heard her parents behind her. Chloe spoke with surprise. ʼʼArcher? Leira? what are you doing here?ʼʼ

ʼʼWhy did you break into my palace boy? Youʼve caused enough trouble and itʼs only been days.ʼʼ Osoric commented with narrowed eyes.

Leira wondered what heʼd done now, so she turned to Archer who was smiling like an innocent child as he answered. ʼʼI cause trouble? Nonono Osoric. I wouldnʼt dream of it.ʼʼ

When she heard his answer she giggled at the look of annoyance on her Fathersʼs face.

But Archer wasnʼt finished and he continued speaking. ʼʼWell Father-in-law, I am here for my rewards?ʼʼ

Everyone looked at him with confused looks before Leira refuted. ʼʼDo you think I accept my engagement with a Playboy dragon?ʼʼ

Archer smiled. ʼʼYes you do and have accepted it.ʼʼ

To prove his point he reached up and slowly caressed her left ear causing her to shudder and let out a small moan.

When she did that she covered her mouth and went completely red. Leira tried to flee but was grabbed around the waist with his tail.

Their actions caused the two parents to laugh at the two before Chloe spoke. ʼʼSo you accept the engagement?ʼʼ

Archer looked at Leira and thought. ʼWho wouldnʼt want a cat girl princess?ʼ

He nodded his head with a smile before answering the cat woman. ʼʼYes. But donʼt think you can order me around now. I said Iʼd help and Iʼve already done that twice.ʼʼ

Osoric was staring at the boy and sighed before speaking. ʼʼWhy did you kill the Field Marshall? And couldnʼt you have done it more subtly?ʼʼ

Archer looked at the emperor. ʼʼWell, he was disrespecting Sia so he had to die. Oh, and the human fool was trying to send her into an ambush so he could come to the rescue to gain your favor.ʼʼ

When the three heard him their eyes widened but Osoric spoke. ʼʼOkay I will investigate this and I must thank you for helping the college. But how are you here? I recall you being seriously injured.ʼʼ

Chloe nodded and Leira looked at him with wide eyes as Archer smiled at the two before he went on to explain what happened and then told them about the Blightbeast.

The two women looked at him in shock as the emperor just stared at him before asking a question. ʼʼDragon healing?ʼʼ

Archer nodded before asking. ʼʼNow we got that out the way. Whereʼs my reward?ʼʼ

Osoric and Chloe rolled their eyes while Leira was laughing. The emperor scoffed before throwing a storage ring at him.

He took it and sent mana into it. When he did he saw four chests of gold and loads of different kinds of bread.

Archer was bamboozled and thought to himself. ʼWhy is he giving me bread?ʼ

Soon after searching for the ring, he looked up at Osoric who was smiling. ʼʼYou think youʼre funny donʼt you Mr emperor?ʼʼ

Osoric started laughing as Archer pulled out some bread and started eating. He gave a piece to Leira which she also took.

He loved the bread, it was sweet and fluffy. Once he ate he looked at the emperor. ʼʼWhere did you get this bread?ʼʼ

The older man smiled as he answered. ʼʼThe royal baker cooked them for me. Some of my people told me that you like the stuff.ʼʼ

Archer nodded in understanding and finished eating it as Leiraʼs Mother Chloe ushered them to a nearby table and all four of them sat down.

When they all sat down Osoric looked at Archer and asked a serious question. ʼʼWhat do you think these creatures are?ʼʼ

He stared at the man and said, ”Those terrible creatures hiding in the dark are like a scary version of what nature intended. They come from really evil places and are incredibly bad in a way that doesnʼt make sense or seem right.”

As a maid brought over some tea and poured them all a cup, Archer took out some more bread and continued talking.

”Imagine a group of creatures, dirty and covered in tangled fur. Theyʼre pure evil and far from being unintelligent. Their cold, red eyes lack any kindness or compassion. These creatures relish in making people suffer and derive joy from causing pain. They lack the hearts of normal beings and are instead filled with wickedness.”

Archer went on to to explain everything he knew which horrified the three. Leira looked at him and asked. ʼʼHow many times have you fought them?ʼʼ
