The next morning, Archer woke up to find Teuila's blue hair draped over him. She was lying on his chest, still naked.
Her light brown skin glowed in the morning light. Soon after Archer examined her, she woke up and sat up.
She glanced around, initially ignoring Archer until she fully awoke and turned to him, causing her cheeks to grow red.
Teuila quickly averted her gaze, which made him laugh. He sat up and began running his fingers up her back, causing her to shiver.
He continued this until he leaned in and gave her a hug. Teuila spoke in a quiet voice, "Last night was nice. It felt so good, but you should have listened when I told you to calm down."
Archer burst into laughter upon hearing her, prompting Teuila to give him a pinch that made him jump backward.
She chased after him, continuously pinching him, while they both laughed. Eventually, Archer caught her and playfully pinned her down, lying between her legs.
Leaning forward, he kissed her, putting a stop to her playful attacks. They continued kissing, with Teuila wrapping her arms around him.
After some time, they separated and locked eyes, Teuila wearing a smile while Archer's eyes glowed.
They decided to get up and dress, leaving the room. In the kitchen, Ella was cooking, and Nefertiti glared at the two with disapproval.
Sera came running past them, chasing after Cinnamon, the brownie. The scene made the two of them to laugh as they sat down.
Noticing the interaction, Nefertiti huffed, provoking more laughter from Archer and Teuila.
However, Ella warned her, saying, "Nefi, we've talked about this." Nefertiti reluctantly nodded, flashing a fake smile at the couple.
Archer stood up and walked over to Ella, planting a kiss on her cheek. He did the same to Nefertiti, who became visibly happier her bad mood dissolving and he repeated his actions with Teuila.
Observing this, Teuila shook her head and muttered to herself, "Playboy." Archer overheard her but chose to ignore it, instead seeking out his little dragon girl, who was already heading back to the table.
When she spotted him, she quickly lunged at him and clung to his body and playfully biting his ear, causing him to shudder with a smile on his face.
He grabbed her by the butt and allowed her to continue her playful attack, as he had always enjoyed it.
When Sera was done she jumped off him and made her way to a chair after Archer gave her a kiss on her little nose causing her to giggle.
They joined the table as Ella was done with breakfast and started putting plates in front of them.
Ella, the magical cook, placed a large plate on the table. It held a delicious stack of Dragon Scale Pancakes.
Besides the pancakes, Ella placed a variety of sizzling meats—tender cuts of Oakback Boars steak, succulent griffin bacon, and grilled Forest Bear sausages, each with a touch of magical seasoning.
With a warm smile, Ella took her seat among the group. Archer, Sera, Teuila, and Nefertiti gathered around the table, their eyes filled with anticipation and hunger.
They knew that this breakfast would be unlike anything they had ever experienced. Archer's gaze locked onto the Dragon Scale Pancakes, his mouth watering at the sight.
The pancakes beckoned him with their enchanting appearance, promising a culinary adventure beyond imagination.
Sera's eyes widened with excitement, and Teuila exchanged a glance with Nefertiti.
As they all reached for their plates, anticipation filled the room. The fragrant aroma of grilled meats and sweet pancakes filled the air.
The first bite was an explosion of flavors, a perfect balance of savory and sweet. Archer savored the tender oak-back steak, its juices blending with the delicate syrup.
The crispy griffin bacon complemented the pancakes with its smoky goodness. Each bite of the sausage was a burst of savory delight, enhanced by magical herbs and spices.
Laughter and conversation filled the table as they savored the extraordinary breakfast, they enjoyed the breakfast.
Archer leaned over and whispered into Ella's ear. ''You're getting so good a cooking Ella.''
She turned to him with a smile and nodded her head as she spoke. ''Thank you, Arch.''
He nodded at her and continued eating until he was full. Then, he leaned back in the chair. After everyone had finished eating, Ella, Teuila, and Sera began cleaning the plates and table.
Archer got ready to take Nefertiti to her academy. She bid farewell as she followed him through a portal.
They entered the palace courtyard, and she quickly rushed off after telling him to wait for her for a little bit.
After a while, she reappeared with her father, who smiled upon spotting Archer. He approached him and spoke, "Morning, Archer. Are you heading back on the road?"
Archer nodded as Amkhu continued speaking, reminding him about the route he had mentioned before. "Remember to take the Greenland Passage."
"Sure thing, no need to worry. I'm actually taking Nefertiti to her academy. It's about time I hit the road again," Archer responded, a smile gracing his face.
Nefertiti bid farewell to her father and walked out of the palace, with Archer by her side, followed by her personal guards.
He spotted the two women trailing behind them, and it was clear they shared a striking resemblance.
One had short blonde hair with green eyes and the other had brown hair and red eyes, and both shared the same tanned skin.
They were dressed in stylish leather armor that provided protection to key areas of their bodies. Completing their outfits were leather skirts and sturdy gladiator sandals.
As they strolled through the streets, Nefertiti reached out and took Archer's hand, drawing closer to him with a smile on her face.
She looked at him and asked, "I only have one more year before I can join you fully. I'll use the bracelet to enter the domain after classes. But how will you know I'm there?"
He quickly replied, "Well, the bracelet will send me a signal of some sort, so I'll be able to tell. But for now, we'll be traveling north and using the domain or camping out. I'll always let you know beforehand."
Nefertiti nodded and playfully pecked him on the cheek, prompting one of her guards to giggle.
She turned to the two women and asked the blonde, "What's amusing, Hana?"
The guards noticed a slight glow in the princess's eyes before answering, "Princess, it's just that we're not used to seeing you so happy. It brings us joy to witness your radiant smiles. Perhaps the Goddess Hathor has finally blessed you."
The other guard, Sana, who was Hana's twin, also nodded with a smile. Nefertiti looked at her long-time guards and friends, returning their smiles.
She introduced Archer to the two guards, who still wore beaming expressions. "Hana, Sana, this is my fiancé, Archer."
They acknowledged him with nods and smiles, and he warmly waved back in greeting.
As they walked through the bustling streets, their hands intertwined, they approached the grand entrance of Nefertiti's Academy.
Archer saw massive stone pillars, carved with intricate hieroglyphs, lining the entranceway. The golden gates, adorned with depictions of Zenian deities, gleamed under the warm morning sunlight.
The architecture of the academy, with its domes and arches, emulated the majestic temples of ancient Egypt.
As they stepped inside, the air became charged with a palpable sense of magic. The courtyard, with its vibrant flowers and lush greenery, was alive with students practicing spells and honing their Arcane abilities.
Colorful banners depicting hieroglyphics fluttered in the gentle breeze. The sound of laughter and animated conversations filled the air, blending harmoniously with the gentle melodies played by musicians perched on stone benches.
Students in colorful flowing robes, adorned with golden accents and intricate patterns, moved through the courtyard.
Nefertiti led Archer through the bustling courtyard, pointing out the different buildings dedicated to various magical disciplines.
Each building had its own distinct style, reminiscent of different periods in Zenian history. They passed by the School of Elemental Arcane Magic, where students conjured flames and summoned gusts of wind.
Nearby, the School of Divination housed students engaged in scrying and interpreting visions.
As they reached the heart of the academy, Archer's eyes widened in awe. The Great Library, an imposing structure, stood before him, its walls adorned with shelves upon shelves of ancient scrolls and books.
Scholars, deep in study, could be seen poring over the timeless wisdom contained within.
In the center of the courtyard, a magnificent fountain stood, depicting a mythical creature from old Zenian legends.
Its waters cascaded gracefully, emitting a soft, magical glow. Students gathered around, their hands cupped, summoning water from the fountain to practice their Water Arcane abilities.
Archer marveled at the vibrant tapestries hanging from the academy's walls, depicting legendary battles and stories from Zenian folklore.
He glanced around and observed numerous students gazing at him and Nefertiti, prompting a chuckle from her guards.
Hana approached him with a broad smile and whispered, "She defeated a prominent member of the Arsaphes family. Now the students are wary of her."
Nefertiti regarded her friend with a questioning expression before speaking. "Stop trying to win favor with my man just because you're interested in him Hana."
