nArcher smiled as he began speaking to the Brownie’s leader. “I can make you a new home, or you can stay here. It’s up to you, Twigg.”

nTwigg stepped forward and bowed while making a request, “We would prefer to stay below the treehouse, but could you give us more space, please, Master Archer?”

nHe nodded in agreement. Closing his eyes, he visualized the Brownie’s home expanding, tripling in size to accommodate their needs.

nAdditionally, he created an underground chamber beneath their home, only accessible through a concealed staircase in one corner.

nOpening his eyes, Archer walked over to the entrance and cast Mana Manipulation to hide it using earth magic.

nHe teleported himself into the underground chamber, noting the presence of the staircase, and concealed it in the same manner as the entrance.

nTo ensure the protection of his lair, Archer summoned a massive Stone Man, twice the size of an ordinary one, and ordered it to guard the now-hidden doorway.

nWith this added layer of security, he felt confident that his sanctuary would remain safe. Turning his attention to the large chamber, Archer admired the result of his efforts.

nThe place seemed untouched by time, its vastness holding endless possibilities. “This is it,” he whispered to himself, a grin spreading across his face.

nIn his mind’s eye, Archer could already envision the perfect dragon lair.

nIt would have a comfortable nesting area made of plush moss and furs, where he could store all the treasures he’d collected during his adventures.

nThe walls would be adorned with intricate carvings, telling the tales of his triumphs and escapades, with torches lining the walls to create a warm and inviting atmosphere.

nWith a surge of excitement, Archer summoned his magical powers, and sparks of blue and gold danced around his fingertips as he started to shape the chamber according to his desires.

nThe moss rose and twirled, forming a luxurious bed fit for a dragon of his stature. Crystals embedded in the walls glowed with an enchanting radiance, casting mesmerizing patterns across the cavern.

nAs he worked, Archer’s mind overflowed with creativity, and he carved intricate symbols and patterns into the stone, each one representing a different aspect of his personality and strengths.

nHe wanted his lair to be a reflection of who he was, a sanctuary where he could be himself without any pretenses.

nIn one corner, he created a cozy reading nook, complete with empty bookshelves and a comfortable-looking chair.

nIt would be his private getaway, a place to escape the gang of cats he has managed to collect so far.

nAs the minutes passed, Archer poured his heart and soul into crafting his lair. The once barren chamber transformed into a majestic sanctuary that he loved.

nBut he wasn’t finished; he created a few rooms – one for storing extremely rare loot, another serving as a bedroom for his humanoid form, and finally, a room with an extremely comfortable bed.

nArcher had a plan in mind; he wanted to bring one of the girls here and have his way with her whenever he wanted to,

nThe thought excited him, but he quickly calmed himself, reminding himself to be patient until tomorrow.

nAfter reigning in his impatience, he took out the chests he had collected in his Item Box. Dozens of heavy chests materialized around him, and he couldn’t help but feel thrilled at the sight.

nWith eager anticipation, he began opening the chests, revealing thousands of gold and silver coins, precious gems, rare stones, and mysterious Mana stones whose purpose he wasn’t entirely certain of.

nArcher meticulously stacked dozens of chests together, saving one in his Item Box for convenient purchases during his travels.

nAs he stepped back, he couldn’t help but admire the substantial pile he had created. However, his ambition remained insatiable; he yearned for even more.

nIn a moment of brilliance, he decided to go on a bandit-hunting adventure the next morning to clear out the troublesome bandits and outlaws in the northern part of the Solari Empire.

nNodding with a smile, he took one last glance at his amassed hoard before leaving his lair, his excitement was soaring.

nEmerging from his hiding place, he set out to find Hemera. After a thorough search, he eventually discovered her concealed in a quiet corner of the library.

nArcher seized the opportunity to playfully sneak up on her and nibble her left ear, causing the startled girl to scream in fright.

nAmused by her reaction, he couldn’t help but chuckle. She whirled around, giving him a series of playful slaps while scolding, “Arch! Why did you scare me? I was reading, you idiot.”

nAfter indulging in some banter, she smiled warmly and inquired, “Now, my husband, how can I help you?”

nArcher’s face lit up with delight at her question, and he responded, “Where are all the bandits hiding in the Empire?”

nHemera looked at him with narrowed eyes and asked, “Why do you want to find bandits?”

nArcher responded with a big smile, “I want their treasures, my Sun.”

nShe was taken aback by the name he called her and tilted her head, sporting a small smile. “Why are you calling me your Sun?”

nHe smiled warmly and explained, “You’re beautiful, bright, and bring happiness. It’s a perfect name for a girl like you.”

nHemera was extremely happy when she received a pet name and lunged at him. Her actions shocked Archer, but he embraced her and hugged her tightly.

nArcher hugged her for a while as they sat in the library, they separated before she started speaking.

nShe also informed him about the ongoing pirate problem that the first prince is trying to deal with and all the bandits that infest the east coast but Archer decided he would help out with the bandits at least.

nGazing at the girl, he spoke after she finished talking, “Well, in the morning, I’ll take care of all the bandits and outlaws first, and then I’ll assist your brother with the pirates.”

nHemera’s smile brightened as she set aside her book and inquired, “What’s driving your desire for all that gold?” .

nArcher found himself momentarily caught off guard by the question, prompting introspection. After a brief pause, he candidly responded, “It’s greed.”

nUpon hearing his response, she gazed at him, shaking her head with an amused smile. “I suppose that’s to be expected from a dragon who hoards gold, princesses, and whatever else catches your fancy.”

nThe two of them started laughing and picked up some tomes. Seated in the cozy corner of the library, Archer and Hemera exchanged playful glances amidst the hushed whispers of pages turning.

nA gentle, flickering radiance emanated from the sconces, bathing the room in a comforting embrace of light.

nArcher, his attention seemingly absorbed by a tome detailing ancient artifacts, stole a sidelong glance in Hemera’s direction.

n“You know,” he began with a mischievous grin, “I heard that Elves have a weakness for riddles. Care to test your intellect?”

nHemera arched an eyebrow as she looked at her white-haired fiance, her lips curving into the same mischievous smile he had. “Oh, I see where this is going, if I win you owe me gold.”

nLeaning in as if sharing a secret, Archer mused, “What’s a treasure that even the mightiest dragon can’t hoard?”

nHemera tapped her chin, feigning deep thought. “Hmm, let me think… A heart unclaimed?”

nArcher chuckled, his eyes meeting hers in a shared moment of understanding. “You caught me. Here I was, hoping to impress you with a riddle, but it seems you’ve got the upper hand.”

nHemera’s laughter chimed like music in the quiet library. “Well, Archer, your riddles might not be a match for me, but I’m still waiting for that dragon-sized hoard of gold you promised me.”

nArcher mockingly gasped, his hand on his chest. “Ah, you wound me! It’s not every day someone demands a dragon’s treasure, you know.”

nPlayfully, Hemera rolled her eyes. “I can’t help it if I have expensive tastes. What can I say? I’m a princess.” .

nHe laughed and she soon joined in, after calming down Archer stood up and leaned in placing a kiss on her forehead before speaking. ”I’m going to tell the girls my plans, I’ll speak to you soon my Sun.”

nArcher turned on his heels and started walking out of the library while waving at the smiling Hemera.

nHe walked into the living room where he saw Ella in the kitchen cleaning up, he snuck up behind her and scared her as well.

nBut she turned around and threw a wet sponge at him, Archer cast blink and reappeared behind her and slapped her ass.

nElla went red but he didn’t stop there as he got up behind her and started fondling her boobs making her pinch him.

nWhen he saw her face it was bright red and she looked embarrassed.
