nOnce, Archer left the dining room and stepped into the palace’s corridors, where he spotted Meredith walking past while working. The blonde maid smiled at him, her green eyes gleaming with happiness. “Morning, Master, how are you this morning?”
n“I’m fine, thank you, Mere, but I’m looking for a place to relax and get some peace; do you have any suggestions?” he replied.
nThe older woman beamed before nodding her head, “Yes. Follow me, my lovely,” she said as her cheeks reddened.
nArcher chuckled at her reaction as he followed the maid through the peaceful corridors, ‘She’s adorable when embarrassed.’
nThe two of them walked through the palace while they spoke about the kingdom. Archer discovered that the pirate islands had been secured, and thousands of people were already moving there because the legions had finished constructing the first four cities.
nHearing the news from Meredith, Archer felt a surge of excitement flow through him as his plans came together. His mind began racing with possibilities, and he envisioned creating an underwater force strategically positioned at vulnerable points across the Draconian Sea. This unit, designed to respond within minutes of an enemy sighting, sparked an idea for developing advanced technologies like jet skis and submarines. But Archer pushed that aside as they arrived at a balcony overlooking the garden, which he found quiet.
nMeredith started explaining in a cheery tone, “This is where the maids come to relax after our shifts, so you’ll have a few hours to yourself.”
nArcher nodded while thanking her, and she smiled before returning to work as he sat down. He sent a message to Aisha asking how the train project was coming along, only to receive a reply saying it was half completed, but the rulers meeting would be held tomorrow.
nWhen Archer heard this, he said they would leave later tonight with the First Legion and Fleet, which the dragonkin queen accepted. Some girls wanted to join, while others wanted to stay on the island.
nHe started designing everything for a new underwater force that would protect the Deep Mining Platforms and deal with enemy ships and monsters that infest the seas surrounding the kingdom.
nAfter creating the underwater base idea that used magic to keep it stable and allow the people working there to breathe, Archer had to dive deep into his Earth memories to remember the basic designs he could send to the Ironfeet Family and his cousin Farrah.
nOnce Archer finished the Draconian Underwater Bases, vessels, and transports, he devised an underwater train line to go to the mainland, starting with Pluoria, if they ever invaded the other kingdoms.
nBut when that thought crossed his mind, Archer pulled out a map of Pluoria and started marking down port cities, marching routes, and places for forts, which pleased him, ‘Now, if the opportunity arises and Draconia takes the continent, we can secure it with ten legions along with two dozen Auxilia Legions.
nArcher just created the new Auxilia Legions, in which citizens who wanted to become Draconians would have to join the new armies for ten years before being considered for citizenship.
n“This will entice the people we conquer to strive to become a Draconian,’ he mused with a smile. While devising that, he sent a message to Aisha to stop offering Refugees citizenship and send them to Wyldheart Island. The dragonkin woman said Elara, Brooke, Teuila, and Demetra were heading there to help secure it as the seawall was being constructed.
nAs he worked on all his ideas, an alarm sounded off as Olivia sent him a message. We’re under attack by a Novgorodian Fleet. Husband, Kass, and Luce are busy fighting the enemy sea monsters. We’re just outside the gap trying to prevent them from breaching the mist When Archer heard this, he jumped up and summoned his wings before taking off and flying north, using Mana Manipulation to speed up. While soaring, he remembered he had two spells to create with the Spell Creation skill and decided to do it later.
nHe then closed in on the massive Novgorod fleet that tried to break through the mist gap. When Archer arrived, he quickly closed the mist wall, swallowing the enemy vessels and sailors while not harming his side.

nHorrifying screams echoed from the mist, causing the Draconians below to retreat in fear, but Archer had marked them as friendly so that it wouldn’t harm them. While doing that, he spotted Kassandra and Lucrezia under the surface.
nThe two women were battling with a group of ten monsters and losing. When Archer saw this, he flew high before transforming into her dragon form and diving toward the water without worry.
nArcher crashed into the ocean and grabbed a massive shark that went to strike Kassandra from behind. He bit down into the shocked sea monster before ripping it in half, causing blood to pour into the water.
nWhen Kassandra noticed him, she panicked, but when Archer started swimming, it made the Kraken girl laugh.

nLucrezia’s POV
nLucrezia was fighting with a giant whale monster, but everything stopped when an explosion ripped through the water, causing her to turn around only to see a massive dragon swimming. ‘Archer! What is he doing under here,’ the mosasaur woman panicked but soon calmed down when she witnessed him swimming around like a fish.
nShe giggled before thinking as Archer started fighting with a Sea Serpent that wrapped its long body around him, ‘What is this stupid dragon doing? He hasn’t got the advantage down here.’
nWhen Lucrezia thought this, she watched him slowly tear the giant snake apart, shocking her as he fought like being in the sea was nothing. Thanks to Archer’s joining the battle, they defeated the Novgorodian sea monsters in no time as they ripped.
nAfter that, the battle died out, and the three returned to the shore. However, she noticed Archer returned to his humanoid form and appeared on her head as she heard his voice in her mind, “You fought well, Luce. I love your mosasaur form. You’re gorgeous.”
nWhen she heard this, her body shuddered before replying sweetly, “Thank you, love. It’s nice when you compliment me.”
nLucrezia noticed Archer sitting down and relaxing. He responded while lying down, “Expect more of them now. I’ll be around often, and you girls will get fed up with me.”
n“Never. I love spending time with you, husband,’ she replied honestly. “All of us do.”
n“Good because we’re going on a date once we get back to the island, then I’ll take Kass and Teu,” Archer revealed with a smile.
nAfter that, the couple continued their conversation, with her eagerly asking him numerous questions about his plans for the kingdom. Archer, delighted to share, explained everything he had been working on, which made her happy.
nThe mosasaur woman was astonished to hear the full scope of his plans. She wondered, ‘Why is he putting so much effort into the kingdom? It’s already flourishing.’

nBack to Archer
nThe trio returned to the seawall as the First Fleet sailed back to their naval base because they did not need to guard the mist gap. Archer jumped onto dry land when Lucrezia surfaced and transformed into her humanoid form alongside Kassandra.
nLucrezia leaped towards Archer, wrapping her arms around his shoulders and kissing him deeply. Momentarily caught off guard, he swiftly responded to her affection before turning and sharing a similar kiss with Kassandra.
nThe two women then flashed bright smiles as they approached the wall. With effortless grace, they climbed up, where the Homeguards greeted them with respectful salutes before resuming their patrols.
nWhen the trio was seen getting into a carriage provided by the soldiers, Archer was puzzled.
n‘Do they have these things everywhere?’
nHe shook his head and climbed in, before they started heading towards the palace to resume his plans for the kingdom. Kassandra and Lucrezia gossiped while Archer looked out the passing hills and forests that littered the island.
nIt took them over twenty minutes to reach the palace, but he stopped the carriage and told the driver to head toward Dragonheart City, which the man agreed to. The two women looked at him with curious expressions.
n“I want to take you both on a date,” Arche revealed with a smile. “There’s a few restaurants
nin the city.”
nThey got excited, which caused the Kraken girl to lunge at him and hug him radiantly. She sat on his lap while nuzzling her head into his neck before she started lovingly kissing his neck, which made him shiver in delight.
nFollowing that, the carriage turned onto the road leading to the city, and Archer saw dozens of caravans passing by. Lucrezia commented with a smile, “The people look so happy. You’ve
ndone well, Arch.”
nHe smiled in response, “I’m only building Draconia so our children have a home from now until the end of time; while traveling around Pluoria, I learned that I won’t be able to have a
npeaceful home unless I created one of my own.”‘
nWhen Kassandra and Lucrezia considered having babies, their cheeks turned bright red, but the mosasaur woman asked with a voice laced with happiness, “Would you want hatchlings
nwith me?”
n“Of course, Luce. Why wouldn’t I? Our children would be adorable,” Archer answered with a
ncharming smile.”
n“Wouldn’t you mind having pups with me either? Not many surface dwellers would do that,” Kassandra asked hopefully.
n“Why wouldn’t they want children with Krakens?” Archer instantly replied. “Because ninety-nine percent of the time, the child comes out as a Kraken while ignoring the father’s race,” she answered in a worried tone.
