A Journey That Changed The World.

Chapter 1635: Evening My Beautiful Wives

Archer spent time with all his children, making sure each one knew they were loved. He was leaning against the bed with the babies lying all over him as he told them a story about Earth. He used his mana to create animals that flew around the kids, who got excited at the scene.

Salina tried to jump up and grab one, only to fall off the bed, but he caught her using his mana. He lifted the blue-haired gremlin until she appeared in front of him. Her big blue eyes were full of love as he spoke. ʼʼBe careful, Salina. What wouldʼve happened if I didnʼt catch you?ʼʼ

The little girl shrugged, earning a warm chuckle from him as he conjured more wonders to delight the children. Aslan and Tarek nestled close on either side, their heads resting against him. Ravena, forgetting her size, draped herself across his shoulders, but he didnʼt mind in the slightest.

While they did this, Amelia, Elise, Evelyn, Kela, and Neoma lay on his sides. Freya, Antonia, Artemis, and Isis took the rest of the place, their heads using him as a pillow or their little hands grabbing his shirt. They loved the hot chocolate and were covered in the sweet drink, causing him to comment. ʼʼYou guys need a bath, donʼt you? Let me create one now.ʼʼ

Archer closed his eyes, waving his hand and creating, making the treehouse groan thanks to the new addition. Granting him access to a safe bathroom to clean up his little ones. He used mana to pick them all up, causing the group to giggle in amusement as they floated through the air behind him.

They stepped into the cozy bathroom, warmed by a nearby fireplace. At the roomʼs heart lay a shallow pool with thirteen small, secure basins for the babies. With a gentle wave of his hand, he magically removed their babygrows and began bathing each child, his magic attending to them all.

After ten minutes, Archer had made sure each child was clean, and he then put them into thick cloths so they wouldnʼt get cold thanks to the Long Winter. Following that, he took the thirteen babies into his room just as Ameliaʼs belly rumbled, catching his attention. ʼʼAre you hungry?ʼʼ

She nodded, her pink eyes sparkling with delight and mischief. Stunned but quick to act, he carefully retrieved a bottle for each infant, his movements steady as he began feeding them using his magic. Just then, the bedroom door swung open, revealing Mary, Nala, and Ella standing together, their silhouettes framed in the soft glow of the hallway.

As their gazes fell upon him, surrounded by the cluster of babies, bright smiles spread across their faces, eyes alight with unbridled joy and warmth at the scene. The Primordial beauty stepped forward, scooping Antonia into a tight cuddle. The little girl let out a happy noise before hugging her mother.

Archer smiled at this and greeted the ladies. ʼʼEvening, my beautiful wives, come to check on the children?ʼʼ

Ella nodded, her blue eyes sparkling as she cradled Elise, the babyʼs pointy ears twitched with happiness. Nala, the excited lioness, grabbed Aslan and began praising the white-haired boy. Mary approached him and spoke. ʼʼThe expedition is going well, we just located the first underwater world and will explore it.ʼʼ

ʼʼAny trouble?ʼʼ

ʼʼNot that I couldnʼt handle, husband,ʼʼ she answered, a knowing smile crossing her face.

Archer laughed at her words. ʼʼGood, the others have run into problems but donʼt need my help and keep insisting that I need to rest thanks to the ceasefire.ʼʼ

ʼʼBut then thereʼs the Long Winter,ʼʼ the older woman continued. ʼʼItʼs causing chaos all over the world, even deep underwater. The captain believes it will get worse and go on for years.ʼʼ

ʼʼMaybe,ʼʼ he said, sighing. ʼʼThe coastal cities are at risk; waves have been hitting them for the last couple of months.ʼʼ

Archer and the women lingered and chatted for a while, their voices a gentle hum in the cozy bedroom, until the babyʼs eyelids grew heavy, one by one succumbing to sleep. With a tender smile, he carefully gathered the little ones, arranging them into snug cuddle piles, their tiny forms nestled together for warmth and comfort.

As he watched them inch closer, pressing themselves as near as they could to one another, a quiet joy warmed his heart, etching a contented smile across his face. With the room now hushed, he, too, surrendered to the pull of a peaceful sleep, the gentle breathing of the babies filling the air like a lullaby.

The next morning, Archer woke up as Edith and Meredith appeared in the bedroom. Just as he went to speak, the white-haired beauty interrupted him. ʼʼWe need to feed the children. Do you mind bringing them back to the palace?ʼʼ

ʼʼYes, sorry, I wanted to spend the night with them before I go exploring the empire,ʼʼ he revealed, slowly climbing out of bed.

Archer stretched as Edith looked guilty. ʼʼIʼm sorry, husband. I didnʼt know you were leaving again, considering youʼve been around the palace for months.ʼʼ

ʼʼEnjoying the peace the ceasefire has brought me,ʼʼ he honestly answered. ʼʼIʼve spent most of my life fighting, running, or battling something. This time has been different and Iʼve enjoyed it.ʼʼ

ʼʼCan I come with you, please?ʼʼ Meredith suddenly asked, a hopeful expression crossing her face.

Archer glanced at the blonde. ʼʼJust so you know, Iʼm traveling on foot and not using teleportation magic?ʼʼ

ʼʼWhyʼʼ Edith interrupted.

ʼʼThe peace wonʼt break for years, and I want to explore, I never got to do it properly,ʼʼ he responded, an excited glint in his violet eyes.

When the two women heard this, their faces softened as Meredith nodded. ʼʼI donʼt mind, how about we invite Malakia? Sheʼs been hanging around the palace for a week now?ʼʼ

ʼʼGo ask her, Iʼll bring the children to the nursery with Edith,ʼʼ Archer said.

The blonde rushed off just as a portal opened and Demacia stepped out, frowning. He turned to the Necromancer and asked. ʼʼWhatʼs wrong, Dem?ʼʼ

ʼʼBig sister took over the lab,ʼʼ she muttered. ʼʼSaid my projects can wait thanks to the Death Tyrants sheʼs creating.ʼʼ

ʼʼDo you want one of your own?ʼʼ he offered. ʼʼOr would you prefer to go on an adventure and get out of the Domain?ʼʼ

Demacia stepped back, looking at him with curious blue eyes. ʼʼWhere are you going and who with?ʼʼ

ʼʼMeredith, Malakia and myself,ʼʼ Archer replied, smiling.

ʼʼIʼd rather get a new lab, but I wonʼt have any test subjects,ʼʼ the Necromancer said. ʼʼThereʼs over a million at home that I cannot use.ʼʼ

ʼʼWe can go to Earth and take all the prisoners once again,ʼʼ he revealed, smirking. ʼʼIʼm sure Anatoly and Ayrennʼs parents want empty prisons.ʼʼ

The dark-haired woman giggled as she spoke, happy this time around. ʼʼIʼll go pack up some things. Can I meet you at the palace entrance?ʼʼ

ʼʼGo for it.ʼʼ

Following that, Archer grabbed Edithʼs hands and made sure the sleeping babies were nearby before teleporting back to the palace. When they appeared in the nursery, the older woman began tending to the children as four other maids stepped inside. The women bowed to him as he said goodbye to the white-haired woman.

Edith gave him a tight hug and rushed back to Freya, who needed changing. He left the room only to bump into Meredith and Malakia. The older lioness smiled at him. ʼʼHello, husband. Iʼm glad you thought of me for this journey, but thereʼs one issue.ʼʼ

ʼʼAnd that is?ʼʼ

ʼʼI need a disguise, I want to travel without issues and not to be pestered by people for being the empress,ʼʼ she informed.

Meredith nodded in agreement. ʼʼIt will cause problems, or the citizens might not show their real selves if they know itʼs us.ʼʼ

Archer thought and agreed minutes later. ʼʼThose are good points, okay, Iʼll use my magic to change our looks, and weʼll keep that up until returning to the palace? I want to experience what we built with my own eyes.ʼʼ

ʼʼThatʼs fine with me,ʼʼ Malakia answered, smiling. ʼʼIt will be good for you, things are changing out here, Arch, and Iʼm sure the world will follow.ʼʼ

Following that, the three made their way to the entrance, grabbing some stuff and storing it in the Item Box. After an hour of waiting, Demacia reappeared with a backpack stuffed to the brim. This made the group laugh as Archer took some of the weight while filling her in on the plan.

The Necromancer smiled. ʼʼGood, not many people are like you, and hate my kind, it would be good to hide who I am,ʼʼ she reassured.

Archer stepped back and cast his magic on them all. His hair changed to blonde with bright green eyes. His pointy ears returned to human ones, surprising the women who smiled at his transformation. Next was Meredith, whose hair turned silver, and her eyes turned red, making her look different from her original form.
