A Journey That Changed The World.

Chapter 632 When Do We Land

Archer watched Aeris transform into a similar shadow figure to the one he had, but it wasnʼt as strong. Once he sensed no hostility, he put his claws away. He knew the boy couldnʼt harm him, so he calmed down and scanned him.

[Aeris Redcliff]

[Race: Dark Wraith]

[Age: 20]

[Rank: Master]

[Exp: 7660/12000]

[Level: 90]

ʼʼA dark wraith? Like a ghost?ʼʼ He asked.

Aeris boy shook his head. ʼʼNo. Weʼre born from pure mana, like you, but less potent. Our ancestors created a spell to let us take human form.”

Archer smiled before commenting. ʼʼThatʼs awesome. Whatʼs it like to be a wraith? Do you scare village children at night? Or haunt the evil noble plaguing the land?ʼʼ

He just looked at him with a deadpan expression before shaking his head and asking in a worried voice. ʼʼShut up! Why would I scare children? Do I look like an evil ghost? But doesnʼt it bother you that I am a wraith?ʼʼ

”Seriously, Aeris, no sister to introduce me? Are you sure youʼre not secretly a woman? Youʼve got that feminine flair going on,” Archer teased with a mischievous grin.

The black-haired boy blushed furiously, avoiding eye contact while retorting, ”Knock it off, Arch! Why are you picking on me? And hey, Iʼve got my grandmother; sheʼs just like me.”

His eyes widened as he spoke. ʼʼLet me see her, Aeris.ʼʼ

ʼʼWhy? You donʼt plan to court her, do you? Sheʼs a mean woman but lovely to me.ʼʼ Aeris answered after sighing.

He shook his head. ʼʼNo. I have enough women for now, and Iʼve never met your grandmother. But I would like to. So whatʼs her name?ʼʼ

Aeris shook his head. ʼʼNarcissa Redcliff. The Dark Witch of the South.ʼʼ

After speaking, he took a Mana Recorder and passed it to him. ʼʼSend some mana into it, and you can see her.ʼʼ

When hearing the boyʼs instructions, Archer nodded in agreement and looked closer at the recorder. As he peered into the device, he was greeted by the sight of a seductively beautiful woman.

She had long, flowing black hair and captivating red eyes mirroring Aerisʼs. She possessed a seductive hourglass figure. Her curves were highlighted, giving her a goddess-like appearance.

The woman looked like she was teaching and saw Aeris casting dark magic spells, which amazed him. But he couldnʼt take his eyes off the woman whose plump ass caught his attention when it jiggled as she moved.

Archer was captivated by Narcissaʼs beauty, but before he could fully appreciate it, the recorder was yanked out of his hand, causing him to become annoyed.

When Archer snapped out of it by shaking his head and turning to Aeris, wanting to know what happened, Aeris responded immediately, saying, ”Quit staring at her like that. Yes, sheʼs pretty, but no, sheʼs not into charming dragons like you.”

He chuckled before changing the subject. ʼʼDid you think being a dark wraith would make me dislike you?ʼʼ

The black-haired boy agreed. ”Yes, when people find out, or Iʼve told them, they tend to avoid me because wraiths are seen as evil. But weʼre just like any other race, with both good and bad individuals among us.”

Archer looked at the black-haired boy and reassured him. ”Aeris. I want you to know something. Whether youʼre a dark wraith, a slime, or a donkey, it doesnʼt change a thing between us. Weʼre friends, and thatʼs that.”

Aeris glanced up at him, surprise flickering before a small, genuine smile spread across his face. The weight of uncertainty lifted from his shoulders, replaced by a warmth that radiated from within.

”Thanks. You donʼt know how much it means to me. Iʼve never really had friends.” After that, they returned to the room with everyone else and sat to wait for the ship to land outside Greenwood City.

Lioran and Cian turned to him when they sat down before the lion boy commented. ʼʼDid Aeris try to kiss you, Arch? Iʼve seen the way he looks at you.ʼʼ

ʼʼShut up, Lio. He just wanted to talk, and I asked if he had a sister but had no such luck.ʼʼ Archer replied with a grin.

When Aeris heard this, his cheeks went red, and he instantly looked away, causing Cian and Alaric to laugh at the reaction. Archer shook his head and spoke. ʼʼWhen do we land? This ship is getting on my nerves.ʼʼ

Alaric was the one who responded, his voice steady and composed. ”About an hour, Once we land, Mother and Father will be waiting to welcome us with a feast. And tomorrow marks the beginning of the fights.”

He grinned mischievously while nudging the lion boy with his elbow. ”Hey, Lioran, donʼt forget to save a dance with your grandmother Malaika for me at your wedding. I hear sheʼs quite the catch.”

Lioran rolled his eyes, a playful smirk tugging at his lips. ”Keep dreaming, Archer. I highly doubt she is in the market for a husband, especially one like you.”

Alaric chuckled at their banter, enjoying the light-hearted exchange between his friend. Despite the teasing, warmth, and friendship bound them together as they looked forward to the festivities awaiting them.

He didnʼt let it go and continued. ʼʼHow come? I already have Nala. Why not add Malaika Goldheart? She would love to have such a handsome dragon for a husband.ʼʼ

ʼʼHow do you know her name?ʼʼ Lioran asked with narrowed eyes.

Archer chuckled at his reaction. ʼʼNala told me about your family, who live on the southern continent, Avidia. How come you ended up here?ʼʼ

Lioran smiled before elaborating, ”The Lionheart family rules the lion demi-human kingdom on Pluoria, while the Goldhearts reign over the empire on Avidia. My mother married into my fatherʼs family and moved here years ago.”

ʼʼOh, interesting.ʼʼ He commented with a smirk.

When Lioran saw this, he snapped. ʼʼDonʼt you get any weird thoughts, you lewd dragon! Donʼt be chasing every woman in my family.ʼʼ

Archer innocently smiled. ʼʼI donʼt know what youʼre talking about. Youʼre overreacting.ʼʼ

Everyone laughed, and he noticed Aeris listening intently while looking at him. After a little while, Cian asked him with a curious expression. ”Hey, Archer, what do you think of my sister Maeve?”

He paused for a moment, considering his reply. ”Well, from what Iʼve seen, sheʼs beautiful and seems nice. But honestly, Iʼd like to get to know her better.”

A smile spread across the orange-haired boyʼs face at Archerʼs answer. ”Thatʼs great to hear! Iʼll make sure to arrange for the two of you to spend some time together. I think youʼll get along well.”

Archer nodded appreciatively, grateful for the opportunity to get to know Maeve better, but was suspicious. ʼʼWhy are you doing this? Isnʼt she engaged to a prince?ʼʼ

Cian let out a sigh of frustration. ”Yeah, I know. But what bothers me the most is the guy sheʼs marrying. Heʼs notorious for using girls for his own pleasure and then tossing them aside. And the worst part? Sheʼs getting married after the Arcane Tournament.”

ʼʼWhy are you telling me this? What do you need from me?ʼʼ Archerʼs confusion was obvious.

The desperation in Cianʼs eyes was real as he pleaded, ”Take her away from that wedding. Kidnap her if you must. Make her yours, please. Just help my big sister!”

When Archer heard Cianʼs request, something inside ignited, and something about kidnapping a princess on her wedding day excited him, causing his violet eyes to glow.

ʼʼOh, great. Now youʼve sparked something inside him. Watch the rumors of the white dragon kidnapping the princesses he likes will spring up now.ʼʼ Lioran commented with a run.

ʼʼOh god. Should I hide my other sisters?ʼʼ Alaric asked the lion boy.

Lioran shook his head with a grin. ʼʼYes. You never know if he will be interested.ʼʼ

Archer looked at the two boys and then at Aeris, who was laughing alongside Cian. He spoke in a frustrated tone. ʼʼIʼm still here, you idiots.ʼʼ

He looked at Alaric and declared. ʼʼI have no interest in your sisters. I love Llyniel and only her, so donʼt worry.ʼʼ

The brown-haired boy nodded, causing Archer to turn to Lioran with a mischievous grin. ”Now, watch closely, Lion Boy. Iʼm going to marry all the women in your family.”

ʼʼShut up, you playboy. My grandmother would run rings around you.ʼʼ Lioran answered with a smirk.

Archer chuckled before retorting. ʼʼYouʼll have to babysit loads of cubs in the future.ʼʼ

Lioran looked at him before he started to laugh, and soon, everyone joined in until Nala interrupted them. ʼʼWhat are you boys laughing about?ʼʼ

Nalika and Leonard also appeared, with Cassie waiting for the lion boysʼ answer. He stretched his cheek while looking at Archer, who shrugged. ʼʼTell her. I donʼt hide anything from my girls.ʼʼ

The blonde boy nodded before turning to Nala. ʼʼHe was teasing me about claiming grandmother Malaika and having me babysit all the cubs.ʼʼ

When hearing that, Nala started laughing before walking over to Archer and sitting on his lap as she replied. ʼʼWell, if Grandmother and our aunties want to join, they could if he likes them. Having family in the pride will be so good.ʼʼ
