Chapter 577 The Birth Of The Draconia Kingdom
As they joined the river leading to the Avalonian's capital, they were ambushed by pirates who had been chasing them from the southern continent. When Aisha saw this, she ordered the remaining sailors to attack.
However, the moment proved untimely, for the pirates swiftly closed in and boarded her vessel. As the battle erupted, she realized that victory was slipping away. Desperate, she hastened toward her cabin, where her mother and family hid.
But she was cut off by a large human pirate who grinned at her before commenting. ''Now we got you, dragon girl. The prince will pay a pretty price for your beautiful self.''
The man stepped forward but stopped when whistling came from all around them. That's when Aisha saw spells slamming into the pirates, tearing them in two with force. She turned to the large man and quickly moved to kill him, but one of the spells decapitated him.
Perplexed, she was caught off guard by a deep roar reverberating through the waters they sailed. Startled, she directed her gaze upward to witness an object descending toward them.
As spells stopped appearing, all the pirates, save one, died to the magical onslaught. The lone survivor stood frozen in shock.
Shortly after, Aisha saw a handsome young man appear before the last pirate. The man, surprised, stepped back and got caught by a stunning long white tail.
The boy effortlessly lifted the pirate, drawing him closer. Aisha observed in wonder as the young man extracted something from the screaming man, who suddenly went limp. Now that he stood there, she began scrutinizing him more closely.
Aisha noticed he appeared youthful yet remarkably tall, towering two heads above her. His beautiful violet dragon eyes held her gaze, and despite his slender body, she sensed the well-defined muscles beneath his shirt.
He wore clothes that resembled that of a lower nobleman, which puzzled Aisha. She shook her head before stepping forward and asked suspiciously, "Who are you?"
However, before he could respond, a red dragon soared overhead and fired bright red flames on the pirate ships, instantly turning them into floating bonfires. Aisha stood in awe at the sight of the dragon.
Though not the largest dragon she had ever seen, it was undeniably one of the most beautiful. It approached the ship, emanating a bright light that momentarily blinded the crew. As the light faded, Aisha noticed the boy opening his arms.
A red blur streaked in and collided with him, causing him to take a few steps backward. To Aisha's surprise, she saw a girl clinging to him. The girl had fiery red hair tied into a ponytail, darker brown skin than her own, and a red tail swaying happily behind her as she playfully bit the boy.
The girl stopped kissing him and hopped down, scanning her surroundings. When spotting Aisha, a wide smile graced her face, causing Aisha some concern. As the girl approached, she took a closer look and was taken aback.
The girl was petite, barely reaching up to her chest. Nevertheless, undeterred, the dragon girl confidently approached, stopping squarely in front of her. She had her hands on her hips while watching Aisha.
Aisha noticed the boy sitting on a barrel as he watched the interaction while humming some unknown music. She turned her attention back to the dragon girl, who spoke in an exotic, familiar voice. ''So you're Jethro's granddaughter, huh?''
Her eyes widened in shock when she heard her grandfather's name, but what happened next shocked her even more. All her injured people who littered the deck were covered in bright light and soon let out relieved sighs.
She looked closer and noticed they were healed. Aisha turned her head to the humming boy who was approaching. But as she watched him, the dragon girl warned with a low growl. ''You can look but not touch. He's ours!''
When Aisha heard this, she stepped back because of the aura coming off the tiny girl. As the boy approached, a portal opened behind him, and someone she hadn't seen stepped through.

[Back to Archer]
While he watched Sera talk to the beautiful dragon-kin woman who looked baffled, he wanted to make things easier for her. He summoned Jethro and some others to the ship to help.
When the old man stepped through the portal, the woman's face lit up as she rushed forward and hugged Jethro, who happily returned it with one of his own. The two family members caught up for a while.
But Jethro turned to Archer with a smile before bowing. ''Thank you for helping her, Your Majesty. Would she and the people be allowed to return to the island? We have a camp set up now.''
He shifted his attention to the woman, who appeared exhausted. Her once vibrant red hair now hung in disarray, and droplets of sweat traced a path down her forehead. Her bright blue eyes glistened in the morning sun.
Archer found himself acknowledging that her beauty exceeded what the crystal could show. Aisha possessed curves similar to Sia, though her boobs were smaller. Her upper body boasted a slender frame, while her lower half was thick.
He couldn't help but watch the gentle sway of her chest and hips with each ship's movement. Archer shook his head and spoke to the dragon-kin woman. ''I heard from Jethro that you lost your city. My apologies, and the culprit will pay once I visit the southern continent.''
The older woman nodded with a sad smile, but when she heard his next words, she couldn't answer. ''I'm establishing a kingdom on a flourishing island, which the old imperial family gave me, and it will become the Draconia Kingdom. All dragon-
kin can come and live, but I only ask for a mana oath not to betray me and your loyalty.''
When Aisha heard this, all sorts of ideas flowed through her mind, and she quickly dropped to her knees and swore a mana oath never to betray him, which caused Archer to grin before he approached her.
Archer leaned in to whisper into their twitching ear. ''Aisha Ashcroft.''
A shiver ran down her body as he spoke, causing goosebumps to break out, but Archer continued. ''You shall run my kingdom and be my second. If you accept, maybe one day, we can grow closer.''
When hearing this, Aisha found herself at a loss for words, yet she nodded in acknowledgment. Archer's response was a smile, and he promptly opened a portal to Draconia, stepping through it.
Following suit, the dragon-kin entered the portal after Jethro guided them. When emerging on the other side, both Aisha and the newcomers were astounded to behold an expansive tent city that stretched until it reached the outskirts of a larger, established city.
Archer stood in front of them with a big smile. ''This is your new home now, and no one will bother you unless they want their kingdoms burned to ash.''
As he watched the older woman staring at him with fascination, he cast Blink to vanish, reappear behind her, and whisper into her ear with a grin. ''I'll build the walls now, my queen. Jethro will fill you in. I'll be back in a week.''
Archer stepped back before bringing out two full chests of gold. He dropped them to the ground, causing thuds. When Aisha saw this didn't know what to do, but Jethro summoned some guards to take the coins to a secure place.
The old man asked for a favor. ''Your majesty is it possible to create a token for us to travel back and forth to the island and Starfall City''
When he heard Jethro, he nodded but decided to put a fail-safe and only allow dragon-kin to use them and alert him if anyone tried to use one. Within a few minutes of asking, Jethro had one hundred trade tokens.
Archer informed him of the conditions that the old man had agreed to. When he sorted out the kingdom's finances, Aisha approached him and asked to speak alone. He agreed and grabbed her arm to take the two to a mountaintop in the domain.
Once they arrived, she turned to him with narrowed eyes and demanded. ''What do you want from me? My body? My love? Tell me why you're giving me this!''
He started to laugh, which confused the dragon-kin woman, but soon, he calmed down before looking at her and warning her. ''I'm giving you nothing! This kingdom is mine, and you look after it while I adventure.''
Once he stopped talking, he summoned twelve holograms of his girls, and each one stood there with a smile, which took Aisha by surprise when she saw all of them. But before she could ask, Archer continued.
