Chapter 990: The Sovereign Circle
Chapter 990: The Sovereign Circle
''It just happened when I was casting my healing spell on her, Lex," Archer said with a smile as she stared at him.
Alexa shook her head before replying, "You act just like you do in the dreams."'
"One of these days, you're going to have to tell me about them," he said while approaching the green-eyed beauty. "I wonder if one of the Thrylos gods aided you; they have been avoiding me at all costs apart from Tiamat. That horny woman wants to jump in my bed." "Tiamat? The monster from that Godzilla movie?" Grace asked from the side.
"No, child," a sudden voice responded, making everyone, including Nancy on the phone, jump. "I am his goddess and wife, but the little gremlin sometimes enjoys being lewd." Archer turned to see Tiamat and smiled warmly. "I'm a gremlin you love, Tia," he said affectionately, "but it's good to see you. I was hoping you would come sooner."
"I'm here to let you know that the Death Mist is still holding, but the Alliance is closing in, waiting for it to dissipate," the dragon goddess warned. "Keep gathering mana, but if you want to accelerate the process, use the skill I gave you."
His eyes widened in shock, but he quickly shook his head and asked, "Are the girls okay?"
Tiamat nodded. "They are all on Draconia preparing for the incoming war. Everyone is just waiting for you until you act unless attacked," she explained.
"Okay, once I'm back in Florida, I will work on it, but it seems it will take some time to increase my mana pool," Archer spoke, which caused the dragon goddess to nod in agreement.
"I can't stay long, my love, but I will visit you in your dreams, so make sure to me in," the beautiful dragon goddess commented before fading away.
Archer frowned, realizing that Tiamat must have expended considerable power to appear before him. He recalled her mentioning this during their time on Earth. Turning around, he noticed that everyone except Nyx was watching him with interest.
"Was that the goddess who wants to get into your bed?" Alexa asked with a knowing smirk.
He nodded, then settled down to relax. Nyx added, "She shows up occasionally. I'm aware that Tiamat brought him here."
Afterward, Archer explained it to the confused Grace and Nancy, who reluctantly accepted it. However, when he showed the two women some more magic, he made them believe him before they started drinking the tea the Davis maid brought.
While there, an alarm started ringing, causing the three sisters to look worried. A group of guards rushed into the room and locked the doors. The one in charge approached Nancy, who had just gotten off the phone.
"Madam Nancy, a group of intruders broke into the house and took out a few guards; we must keep you in this room while we deal with them," the man said in a concerned tone.
Archer was still drinking his tea but looked at Nyx with a gleam before speaking, "Do you mind dealing with them, gorgeous?"
The dragon woman nodded excitedly as she jumped up and walked out of the room, but the guards tried to stop her. Nancy waved them away as Nyx left the room with a pep in her step, looking forward to the fun she was about to have.
Alexa looked at him with a concerned expression and asked, "Will she be okay? They may have guns, Arch."
Archer chuckled and was about to speak when piercing screams erupted from downstairs, causing Nancy and Grace to panic. The guards tensed up, but after a few minutes, the commotion subsided.
Nyx returned to the room, humming calmly as if nothing had happened. Everyone stared at her with bewilderment, but Archer took command. "Bring the bodies here," he ordered, "and once that's done, clean up the mess."
The guards quickly rushed out of the room, while Alexa stood up and spoke in a concerned tone, "Grace, call Mom and tell her what happened while we sort out the house."
"Glady," the younger Davis sister said before rushing out of the room.
Archer watched Nancy text someone as she announced in a barely restrained voice, ''I can fight that bitch in a week. Trevor said the slot is still open, and all I have to do is attend a health check before getting the green light."
"That's brilliant, Nance," Alexa replied with a big smile. "Where is the fight?"
The older woman looked at him before replying, "Miami. We have to fly out two days after check-in. Do you want to come Arch? Your other women can come."'
"Yes, I'll come with you, muscle mommy," Archer answered, looking her up and down. "Why would I miss your fight?"
Nancy trembled at his look before asking, "Have you got a phone yet?"
Archer nodded while taking it out and giving it to the older woman so she could add her number. As he did that, Nyx said, "Arch, can you open a Gate to the other girls?"
"Let me teleport to them first, so I have a spot to open one," he replied before glancing at Nancy while handing her the paper Alisha gave him. "Can you add this number? A shop worker gave it to me."
"Of course, babe," she answered with a radiant smile. "Why not invite the girl here? You can spend some time with her."'
Archer looked at her with a confused expression; he shook his head and asked, "You don't mind me having multiple women?"
Nancy shook her head. "All the Sovereign Circle Family's heads have multiple women. It's just not shown to the public. Look at Vlad Romanov; he has five legal wives he married under the table, while the Sultan of the Middle East has ten wives."
"Are there harems on Earth?" Archer asked his expression one of genuine surprise.
The three women laughed at his bewildered reaction, and Alexa explained, "Yes, there are such things, but only the Sovereign Families partake in them. Harems are incredibly expensive to maintain nowadays."
Archer chuckled at this. "Indeed, my harem has cost me trillions of gold coins. Each woman has her hobby and area in Draconia to do as they wishes."
Nancy and Alexa nodded in acknowledgment. Archer then teleported to Ashoka and Maeve, sitting in a garden chatting with three women he instantly recognized. The first was Isabella, his elegant aunt, while the other two were his cousins-twins he used to play with frequently when he was younger.
'Cece and Sasha,' Archer remembered their names just as he realized the duo was staring at him with wide eyes.
Maeve and Ashoka beamed and rushed over to him, their faces lit with smiles. They greeted him with several kisses and hugs before stepping back. Isabella then approached and said, "I love seeing your magic, handsome, but enough of the pleasantries. Show these girls who you
are." Archer chuckled and nodded before turning to his cousins. He noted that they were younger versions of Isabella. Cece had pixie-cut brown hair and blue eyes, while Sasha shared the same hair color but had brown eyes.
"Sasha, did you become a game designer like you always spoke about?" he asked with a charming smile.
After that, Archer turned to Cece, whose blue eyes were wet, and he revealed, "I remember that night we snuck out of Aunt Bel's house back in London. You bought me my first chicken and chips with a can of Moke."
The blue-eyed twin leaped up and lunged at him. Archer opened his arms and caught her as she exclaimed, "Little Arch! How are you here? I heard you were murdered!"
Sasha quickly joined her sister, playfully shoving his head into her cleavage. Archer enjoyed the gesture but gently pulled away. "Let's all sit down, and I'll explain everything," he said, guiding them to a comfortable spot.
Everyone settled into their seats as Archer began recounting his story. He detailed everything to Isabella and his cousins, covering all the events that had led to his current situation.
A few hours passed, and the three women looked baffled, horrified, and hurt. Finally, now that he was back, they smiled. Sasha glanced at him with wet eyes as she took his hands while speaking, "Can we talk alone, cousin? It's important."
Archer nodded and followed the brown-eyed twin, walking alongside her as the waves lapped at the shore. Her voice was soft but filled with concern as she spoke, "What are you hiding,
Arch? I can see it in your eyes-something's not right."
He looked at her, confused, but before he could respond, she continued. "We may not be blood-related anymore, but I still know you inside and out. You've built up a barrier, locking away all that pain. It's just bubbling underneath, waiting to explode."
"Even in the deepest despair, if you can keep moving forward, you'll eventually find hope," Archer repeated a quote he liked.
He turned toward the sea and continued, "I'm no longer the Archer you knew, Sasha. I was born into a terrible family who abused me. I had my mind break, and I've never been the
same."
"What burdens are you carrying, little cousin? Talk to me," Sasha said while taking his hand.
"Billions of people relied on me for a stable life; they look to me as a great ruler, but I'm just trying my best, and now I've dragged them into a world war," Archer revealed as he thought
of Draconia.
