Chapter 231 Overprotective Father
With a mischievous grin, she pulled away from the kisses and positioned herself in front of him.
Her eyes sparkled with excitement as she spoke, "Tonight, I want you. It's the last Dark day of Umbralia, and winter will be here soon. Mother always told me that it was a month for lovers."
Archer nodded his head in agreement as he leaned in close to whisper into her ear, "Yes, I will make love to you tonight at that place I told you about. Let's get the celebrations over with then we will go."
After stepping back, Archer noticed a slight blush on Nefertiti's cheeks, but she nodded with a sweet smile.
They continued to share passionate kisses, all the while marveling at the enchanting landscape as the sun gently rose.
An hour passed, filled with delightful moments together. Eventually, prompted by Ella's call for breakfast preparation, Nefertiti decided to take a bath and prepare for the day.
Archer headed towards the treehouse and found Sera and Hemera already seated at the table waiting for the food.
His eyes scanned the room, searching for Teuila. Finally, he spotted her coming out of the bath chambers, dressed in a snug-fitting blue kaftan.
The fabric clung to her body, accentuating her large boobs, and her silky blue hair was elegantly tied into a swaying ponytail, which mesmerized him as she walked toward the table.
One by one, the girls warmly greeted him, with Teuila offering a morning kiss. Ella, dressed in a comfortable outfit that concealed her figure, also joined in the welcoming.
Sera, too, donned a kaftan that accentuated her petite yet curvy physique, and Archer couldn't help but notice her thick thighs.
Hemera, on the other hand, looked stunning in a beautiful white and gold Chiton that gracefully showcased her figure, leaving no hiding place for her alluring boobs and slim-thick body.
He shook his head and smiled, feeling grateful to have the girls in his life. Archer took a seat at the table and began eating once Ella placed his food in front of him.
As he savored the sausage and bacon-like meat, the girls also started eating. Sera turned to him with curiosity and asked, "What's the plan for today, Archer?"
After finishing his meal, he replied, "We will head to Ravenna and meet with Hemi's Father to see what he wants. Then, we'll continue heading north to Larissa. There's something I want to do there."
Ella playfully chimed in with a grin, "Does it involve another princess, Arch?"
Archer chuckled and nodded in confirmation. "Yes, it does."
The girls seemed intrigued, and Teuila asked, "What brought this on now? When did you meet another princess?"
With a big smile, Archer proceeded to explain the dream he had and everything that transpired within it.
Upon hearing his account, Sera couldn't help but wonder aloud, "Why does it seem like someone is influencing all this? Why are you so special?"
Though uncertain himself, Archer shrugged and responded, "I don't know, but I'm glad I received this gift. Otherwise, I would have never met any of you, apart from Ella."
All the girls present nodded in agreement, but Hemera looked to be in a world of her own.
Teuila, keenly observant, couldn't help but ask, "Is something on your mind, Hemera? It seems like you're not fully with us."
Hemera cleared her throat and looked up, explaining, "The woman you spoke of is the third Princess Hecate Lunarides of the Lunaris Empire. She is considered the black sheep of the Lunaris imperial family due to being born with silver hair and red eyes. Some people call her a witch because she gets visions of the future, but her family dismisses them as mere delusions."
Intrigued, Archer asked, "Why is she considered the black sheep just because of her hair and eyes?"
The others nodded in agreement with his question, as Hemera continued her explanation. "Well, Moon Elves are typically born with dark hair and eyes, the complete opposite of us Sun Elves.''
She stopped talking and took a sip of her tea before continuing. ''Hecate, however, was born with silver hair and red eyes. The only other Moon Elf known to be born with those features was a powerful moon witch 5000 years ago, who is now used as a cautionary tale to scare children, though there's no concrete proof of her being evil or doing anything bad."
He nodded, finally understanding why she was so happy with the two little girls, while everyone else in her life didn't treat her with the same love.
As he smiled to himself, he was brought out of his thoughts by Sera's tail crawling up his thigh, causing him to shiver.
Looking up, he noticed all four girls staring at him. He smiled back and then continued talking about the Princess as he rejoined the group.
Hemera shared everything she knew about the Princess and after a little while, Nefertiti joined them.
She didn't forget to playfully tease the little girls and gave Archer a deep kiss, which he enjoyed, causing the other girls (except for Hemera) to hmph in jealousy.
Their reactions made Archer chuckle, but then he stood up and spoke, "Are you girls ready? We need to leave."
They all nodded their heads and stood up as well. Archer cast Gate and opened a portal to the courtyard of the Solarian palace.
Hemera stepped through first, followed by the other girls, and he followed behind them.
When they arrived at the courtyard, a group of guards rushed towards them but immediately stopped as they recognized Hemera.
With bowed heads, they expressed their apologies, yet she gracefully waved away their regrets, taking the lead as she guided them through the intricate palace hallways.
Their destination was the grand dining hall, where she hoped to reunite with her beloved family.
A maid courteously opened the door for them as they entered a man who bore a striking resemblance to Hemera saw the group and quickly got up as he approached them.
It was evident that he was Hemera's father, he greeted them with a smile as the rest of the family observed the meeting from a distance.
The man warmly embraced Hemera before turning his attention to Archer. ''Young man, I am Agamemnon Helios, the Emperor of the Solari Empire. I must express my heartfelt gratitude to you for aiding my youngest daughter and the Empire in their time of need.''
Agamemnon had no ill intentions towards the boy; instead, he genuinely appreciated his help, and Archer could sense the sincerity in the man's gratitude.
After the greeting that small talked for a little but as an overprotective father, he noticed the way his daughter looked at the boy and wondered if she had her first crush.
Archer looked at the man, who appeared to be in his late twenties, with golden hair akin to Hemera's and the same yellow eyes.
Despite being taller, he had a leaner build. With a friendly smile, Archer responded, ''I'm Archer.''
When he heard Archer's reply, he smiled and responded, ''Well, Archer, my people see you as a hero, and they are happy that you arrived in our Empire.''
Archer nodded but quickly clarified, ''I'm not a hero; I just happened to be in the right place at the right time and accidentally helped.''
While he was talking to Hemera's father, the rest of her family approached the four girls.
Cassandra warmly greeted them, saying, ''Girls, it's good you're here. I'm happy to see all of you.''
Teuila and Sera turned to Hemera's mother with a smile, and Nefertiti replied, ''Yes, it's good to see you, Empress Cassandra.''
Ella smiled and nodded in agreement with the pink-haired girl, and Hemera quickly spoke up, ''It's good to be back, Mother. Is everyone here?''
The Empress smiled as she answered, ''Yes, everyone is here apart from your oldest brother.''
She turned to Agamemnon and asked. ''Darling, you can do the introductions so we can get to the celebrations.''
He turned to his wife with a big smile and replied. ''Yes, Dear.''
Agamemnon turned to Archer and motioned toward his family who lined up as he started talking. ''You've already met my beautiful wife Cassandra Helios.''
The older woman gave him a warm smile as he moved to the man standing next to her. ''This is Dimitrios Helios the second prince.''
He then pointed at the other two men as he continued. ''Those two young men are Christos and Nikos the third and fourth princes.''
Agamemnon finished introducing the princes and turned to the princesses and started speaking. ''This beautiful young lady is Eudora Helios the first princess.''
Archer looked at the woman who was the spitting image of Hemera with longer hair. He smiled at her as the Father continued.
''The other pretty young ladies are Calliope, Despina, and Lysandra the second, third, and fourth princesses.''
He smiled at the three girls as they greeted him, Agamemnon finished the introduction he turned to Archer with a smile.
