Chapter 416 Snow Fall


    Archer nodded before speaking. ''''Thank you, Mele. To be honest I only did it for Teu I wasn''t looking for a reward.''''


    When Teu heard Archer''s heartfelt words, she initially looked at him in surprise, but her astonishment soon transformed into a joyous giggle.


    She yfully teased, "I thought you were a greedy dragon who only did things for gold."


    Archer shook his head with a warm smile and replied earnestly, "I did it for you and the others. You girls mean a lot to me."


    Teu''s eyes sparkled with appreciation, and she reached out, taking his hand gently. "Thank you for saving me at Seastone."


    Archer reciprocated her smile and proceeded to engage the trio in a conversation, sharing stories about his adventures and experiences since hisst visit to the Soutnds.


    Lashure mentioned that they had expanded their influence, taking control of half of the Soutnds, while the Zenia Empire had imed the rest.


    After chatting for a couple of hours, he was informed that the Avalon Empire had invited all the kingdoms in the Soutnds and Mediterra to the celebrations.


    The couple said they were leaving in a few weeks to start the journey north to join all the other royals.


    Once the talking was done Archer and Teu left after saying bye to the king and queen as he opened a portal to the domain and stepped through.


    When they stepped through he was hit with a massive hug and his head was shoved into someone''srge cleavage.


    Archer instantly knew who it was by her sweet scent. Shortly after he heard a sweet voice. ''''Husband! I''ve missed you.''''


    He lifted his head up to see a pair of pink eyes staring into his with a big smile. Archer quickly stole Nefertiti''s soft lips which caused her body to jolt.


    The pink-haired princess found herself taken by surprise before responding with a passionate kiss of her own.


    As they shared their affectionate moment, the rest of the group couldn''t help but burst intoughter.


    Archer eventually broke away from the subus, leaving her with a dreamy look in her eyes.


    With a tender expression, he leaned in and whispered into her ear, "We have more than enough time to catch up, and I''ll make sure to pamper you, Nefi."


    Nefi nodded, a contented smile gracing her face, and she went to take a seat. Archer turned his attention to the others and noticed that everyone was present except for Sia and Llyniel.


    His gaze met E''s as she warmly greeted him with a kiss on the cheek before whispering into his ear, "I love you, Archer."


    Archer''s smile deepened as he understood the significance of her words. He met her gaze and replied, "I love you too, El."


    E''s excitement was palpable, and she eagerly pulled him closer for a passionate kiss.


    Their lips met, and in that moment, their affection for each other was expressed through the intensity of their kiss.


    After a lingering moment, E gradually pulled back, her eyes filled with affection. ''''You need to spend more time with us.''''


    Archer nodded and then gave the half-elf''s button nose a yful peck before heading over to where the Sun Elf was talking to Hecate, with Tal sharpening her swords nearby.


    As he approached, Hemera''s eyes met his, and she shed a mischievous grin. In a surprising move, she began to sway her hips as she walked towards him.


    He was caught off guard but pleasantly surprised. Hemera''sughter rang out as she circled her arms around his neck and nted a kiss on his lips.


    Archer appreciated it when the girls took the initiative. He promptly reciprocated the kiss and, in a moment of passion, gently held her.


    The feeling of her soft and silky lips, with a hint of fruity sweetness, was something he treasured.


    Their kiss lingered for a while before Hemera stepped back, her voice radiating happiness as she spoke. "Now that there are no more wars or trouble, we can spend more time reading together."


    Before Archer could respond, Hecate, who had been watching with a small smile, added, "Unless trouble finds you again."


    He responded with confidence, "We''ll face whateveres our way."


    Laughter filled the air, but he then turned to Hecate and, with a touch of desire, took her slender waist in his hands, initiating a passionate kiss.


    Her body shivered, but she held his cheeks and returned the kiss with equal fervor. Tal couldn''t help but roll her eyes, which elicited augh from Hemera.


    After their passionate exchange, Hecate smiled at Archer andmented, "Come to theb when you''re finished with your greetings. I have some new potions to show you."


    Archer gave her a nod in agreement, and as Hecate began to walk away, his tail yfully swayed before yfully smacking her bum, causing her to yelp in surprise.


    The Moon Elf turned to him, but he blew her a yful kiss, prompting a smile from her. With a light-hearted gesture, she made her way towards theb.


    He shifted his attention to the lost princess, who fixed him with her striking blood-red eyes. Her silver hair was neatly tied in her usual ponytail.


    With a mischievous grin, Archer approached her. She watched him intently, her gaze unwavering, but his yful spirit couldn''t be contained.


    In a swift move, he cast Blink and reappeared behind Tal, swiftly grabbing her by the waist and spinning her around in a joyful and unexpected twist.


    Tal, initially taken aback by the surprise spin, had just been about to push Archer away. But before she could react, he seized her lips in a sudden and unexpected kiss.


    The shock quickly gave way to a surprising reciprocation from Tal, who stopped resisting and responded with a passionate kiss of her own.


    After a couple of minutes, they separated, and Tal wore a small, satisfied smile. It was at this moment that Archer broached the topic. "Will you help me train with Teu?"


    Tal nodded with a smile, kissing his cheek before replying, "I''m going to practice with my bow. I''ll see youter, Arch."


    Archer acknowledged her with a nod before she darted off. He turned around to find Nefertiti engrossed in a book, while E was busy preparing something in the kitchen.


    As he was about to take a seat, Sera abruptly rushed into the treehouse and headed straight for the kitchen.


    With enthusiasm in her voice, Sera inquired, "When will dinner be ready? The sun will be setting soon."


    E nced at the hyperactive redhead and responded with a smile, "It''ll be ready in about an hour."


    Sera sighed with impatience, but Archer swiftly came to the rescue, producing some chocte truffles.


    He called out to the cheeky dragon, saying, "Sera, here. Take these and share them with the sisters."


    Sera eagerly epted the truffles, devoured one, and couldn''t help but let out a pleased moan when she tasted the rich chocte.


    Once she finished it, she looked at Archer with a curious expression and asked. ''''Where did you get this food from sweetheart?''''


    Archer answered. ''''From an ind kingdom in the East. When I run out of the new food we can go back and buy some more.''''


    Sera''s departure prompted a nod from Archer. He strolled out onto the treehouse''s balcony and gazed at the snow-coveredndscape, shaking his head with a hint of frustration.


    In a low murmur, he questioned, "Why does it always have to be snowing? This is ridiculous."


    With a sigh, he checked his status.


    [Experience Points: 445,000/4,000,000]


    [Level Increase: 612 > 613]


    [Skill Points: 0 > 10]


    Archer felt a sense of satisfaction upon leveling up, yet he recognized that the path to further advancement would demand more time and effort.


    Deciding not to dwell on it at the moment, he resolved to let his progress naturally unfold over time.


    He nced skyward and watched the setting sun. The realization that the day wasing to a close spurred him to make a decision.


    Archer decided to regrly visit the adventurer''s guild during his free moments, intending to hunt down bandits and seize their treasures.


    Leaning against the balcony rail, Archer received a message via the enchanted bracelet from Leira.


    She conveyed, "Arch, Father mentioned that the celebration aligns with the uing Starfall Frostwinter Festival. Oh, and the Headmistress said we''ll be able to head back to the college in a couple of days."


    "Sounds good," Archer replied, his gaze fixed on the gently falling snow. Below, children frolicked in the winter wondend, theirughter and yful antics filling the air.


    Nearby, in the elf garden, Llyniel and Leira diligently tended to the mystical nts that thrived there. Further out in a nearby clearing, Tal honed her archery skills.


    Taking a moment to himself, Archer reached into his Item Box and retrieved a bottle of ale he had acquired during his raids.


    Archer took a sip from his drink as he gazed out over his domain, pondering the unpredictability of the future.


    With a nonchnt shrug, he finished off the ale in his hand and reached for another.
