Chapter 595 A Wild Dragon
Inara started laughing when hearing his response. She grinned before asking one last question. ''So you'd marry three generations of women? Aint you greedy.''
She turned to Lioran, who was still laughing, and commented in a teasing voice. ''I hide Malakia, Zara, and Klara, my prince. Otherwise, they will all be claimed by a dragon.''
Lioran calmed down before imagining his grandmother, aunt, and cousin marrying Archer. The thought was hilarious due to knowing the women in his family. He shook his head and responded. ''If he claims the three, I wish him luck as a brother and friend. You know Nana and how she is.''
Inara nodded. ''Yes, cousin can be something. Especially when it comes to mates, remember what happened to Zara's dad?''
''Yeah, but he deserved to be killed. Grandfather tried chasing after my mother when she was younger.'' Lioran said with a chuckle.
''Enough of this. I'm not planning to marry three generations, you cheeky lioness. If they're anything like you and Nala, I'm okay. I already have enough.'' Archer commented as his tail swayed behind him.
Lioran saw this and curiously asked. ''You're keeping your tail out for good now?''
Archer smiled before answering. ''Yes. It feels natural, after all. I need to remember I'm not human and don't need to hide them.''
''What about your horns? They're not there now?'' The lion boy commented.
''They annoyed me and got in the way. Especially when making love to the girls.'' Archer answered without any shame.
When Lioran heard this, he didn't know what to say, but Inara started giggling as she spoke. ''So straightforward. I like it. But enough of this, can you help us? And I agree with your request. We can meet when we're not busy with the upcoming tournament.''
Archer smiled. ''Yes. Just show me the direction to fly in, and I'll deal with it.''
''Great. Come this way, Archer.'' The older lioness spoke as she stood up and approached the door.
Lioran got up, and Archer followed as they left the room, moving through the bustling Silvermane hallways. He noticed maids from various races working hard, and one thing was clear: they all had happy smiles on their faces.
As the trio strolled, they eventually reached a tranquil garden. While Inara began pointing in a particular direction, something intriguing captured Archer's attention.
A lioness was practicing fire magic, casting various spells at a group of training dummies. She sported untamed silver hair similar to Inara's but longer and had radiant yellow eyes glowed with mana as she conjured spells.
Inara saw this and sighed before warning Archer. ''That is my granddaughter Sarabi Silvermane. My son, pride and joy, Kamari, is overprotective of the girl. He won't even entertain her doing anything dangerous as she's the heir to our family.''
Archer looked at the girl and soon noticed the mana flow in her body was going crazy and needed to be corrected. He turned to the older lioness and commented. ''Wait here.''
Following that, he approached the girl with silver hair. She stopped casting a spell, looking at him with narrowed eyes before asking in a questioning tone. "Who are you? Are you grandmother's guest?"
''You could say that. I'm here to help you fix your mana flow. It's going crazy and will lead to a decrease in your power.'' Archer honestly answered.
When Sarabi heard this, her eyes widened. She was just about to speak, but Inara and Lioran appeared. The older woman asked. ''What did I tell you, boy? My son will think you're trying to court her.''
Archer's eyes narrowed at the older woman, and when Lioran saw this, he reassured the matriarch. ''He's not like that, Inara. He is a playboy but doesn't chase every girl he sees; otherwise, some girls like him in college would be snatched up, but he hasn't done that except with three.''
Inara reluctantly nodded before Archer turned back to Sarabi and offered his hand. ''If you take my hand, I'll repair and improve your mana flow.''
The silver-haired lion girl looked at his hand, then into his eyes, and took it. When she did that, he sent his mana flowing into her. As their hands connected, a gentle surge of energy passed from them.
At first, she felt a subtle warmth, like the comforting rays of sunlight on a cool day. Then, a soft tingling sensation spread through her body, reaching every corner of her being.
Inara observed closely, her expression shifting from doubt to mild surprise as she noticed a visible change in Sarabi. Once filled with uncertainty, the silver-haired girl's eyes widened in amazement.
It was as if a veil had been lifted, and she could suddenly see the world with newfound clarity. Archer's mana flowed through her magical channels, unraveling the chaotic currents that had hindered her power.
Colors seemed brighter, sounds clearer, and the very essence of mana radiated within her. Sarabi's gaze met Archer's, and they shared a silent understanding. It wasn't just about fixing her mana but improving it.
The tingling intensified briefly before gradually subsiding, leaving Sarabi feeling refreshed and invigorated. Inara couldn't help but express her surprise. "What did you do, Archer?"
Archer withdrew his hand, a satisfied grin playing on his lips. "Just a bit of fine-tuning. Your granddaughter's mana was a bit out of tune, but now it's singing a much prettier song."
Sarabi flexed her fingers, testing the newfound strength within them. She could feel the difference – a smoother, more potent flow of magic coursing through her veins. "It's incredible. I never knew magic could feel like this."
Lioran, quiet throughout the process, chimed in with a smirk. "Well, you're in good hands, Sarabi. Looks like he is more than just a charming face."
Archer chuckled. "I'm a man of many talents, my friend."
After helping the girl, he introduced himself to the lion girl. ''I'm Archer Wyldheart. The most handsome dragon on Thrylos.''
Sarabi couldn't help but giggle at his words. Sensing a significant improvement in the mana flow within her, she took a moment to examine herself.
Grateful, she introduced herself, "I'm Sarabi Silvermane, the first daughter of Duke Karami Silverman. Thank you for your assistance, Archer."
After doing that, Archer turned to Inara, who was watching the scene with amazement. ''Where is this dragon? And when can I see you again?''
Inara shook her head before grinning as she pointed south. ''I've always wanted to visit Starfall night markets. Maybe you can take me there after the Frostwinter Festival?''
Archer gave the woman a charming smile as he replied. ''Of course. Once the emperor pays me and I've spent more time with my ladies, I'll get you for our date.''
With a sweet smile, the older lioness nodded, surprising Sarabi, who had never witnessed her grandmother behaving like a young girl on her first date. She stared at Archer with a strange expression.
Lioran stood there, shocked as he observed the scene, knowing how well-known Inara's fiery, hot-headed personality was. Yet, her current behavior was entirely out of character. He silently vowed to keep his mother and sisters hidden; otherwise, they might end up like the Silvermane women.
While the lion boy was thinking, Archer grabbed him with a grin before summoning his wings and taking off after saying goodbye to the two lionesses, who were watching as the prince was dragged off screaming.
Archer soared south, thoroughly enjoying terrorizing the lion prince who desperately clung to him. With a cheeky grin, he remarked, ''You knew we were going to click, didn't you? What's your goal, Lio? I have no interest in your mother or any of your family.''
As he flew through the skies with Lioran tightly clinging to him, the wind whistled past, and the scenery below changed from the lush Silvermane lands to a mountainous terrain. The snow-
capped peaks of mountains loomed ahead, casting shadows over the landscape.
The distant sound of rushing water echoed through the valleys. Lioran, caught up in the thrill of flying, couldn't help but burst into laughter. His voice mingled with the rushing wind as he teased, "You know, Archer, you're not as terrifying as I thought for a dragon. More like a giant, flying kitten!"
Archer shot the lion prince a glance, his dragon eyes gleaming mischievously. "Flying kitten, huh? I can be terrifying when I want to be. Don't underestimate me, Lio."
Lioran, feigning innocence, widened his eyes in mock surprise. "Who, me? Underestimate the great Archer Wyldheart? Never!"
Amused by the lion boys antics, he decided to play along. With a sly grin, he increased his speed, the wind whipping even more fiercely around them. The landscape blurred as they streaked over the mountains he just saw, and Lioran's laughter turned into a series of startled yelps.
"Slow down! I was just kidding!" Lioran exclaimed as he clung to him
Archer was about to speaking but his Aura Detector picked up a lone ping close by. Abruptly stopping, he saw a valley not too far from them.
