Chapter 1192: Only Getting Worse
Archer held Sia's thick waist as he cummed deep in her ass causing the older woman to let out a primal scream while gripping the bedsheets, ''Ahhhhhhh!'' @@novelbin@@
Seconds later, he pulled out as she collapsed on the bed while catching her breath. He continued making love to the beautiful dragonkin woman who trembled with delight, as the pleasure was too much.
''Mmmghh~~ Ughhh~~,'' she let out a moan in his ear.
This made Archer shiver as the two started making love until Sia fell into a daze. He pulled out of her and cast Cleanse on them and the bed, causing pain to shoot through his body as he coughed up some blood.
Sia sprang up, concern in her eyes as she moved to help him. ''I'm sorry, handsome," she whispered. ''We should have waited until you were better.''
Archer laughed, but soon felt a sensation of dizziness, prompting the older woman to recline and draw him onto her bosom. He rested his head against her chest, which elicited a smile from her as she played with his hair.
''Rest and wait for Brooke to return,'' she said in a sweet voice.
Following that, Archer nodded before closing his eyes as her touch relaxed him and he soon fell asleep. A few hours later, Natalia returned with a friendly smile, ''Lady Sia, do you want to stay and witness the treatment?''
Sia nodded, carefully lifting the sleeping Archer and settling him onto the bed with gentle hands. As she stepped back, a grey-haired woman moved forward, her expression calm but serious.
''I need to use an ancient Volkovitch spell,'' she explained, her voice steady. ''My ancestor created it to burn away the lingering Anti-Mana poison in his body.''@@novelbin@@
After speaking, she placed a hand on his chest while mumbling something. That's when Sia saw a white light radiate from his chest, causing Archer to groan in pain, which worried the dragonkin woman.
''It's hurting him?'' she questioned.
Natalia nodded, ''Yes, it's a painful procedure but the only way that will help heal him,'' she answered while steadying herself while using a lot of manas. Following that, Archer woke up and saw the beautiful mature woman growing tired, he placed his hand on her arm before sending his mana into her which brought a bright smile to her face as she spoke, ''Thank you for that, I used a lot of energy gathering up the ingredients for your pain relief.''
Hearing this, he raised an eyebrow in curiosity, but before he could speak, she produced a small pill and gently slipped it into his mouth. ''This will numb the pain,'' she explained with a calm, reassuring tone, ''though it might make you feel funny for a while.''
Archer chuckled as he swallowed the pill, only to feel a wave of dizziness moments later. The effects took hold swiftly, numbing the pain but leaving him with a dazed, almost euphoric sensation.
Sofia took out more paper while explaining, ''There are buildings on the platforms where government officials can stay and process people.''
'Wow, she's helpful. Maybe she could run a department for new designs?' he thought with a knowing smile.
Archer shook his head before asking, ''We will build them, but it will have to wait until the war is over. If you have any more designs, come see me and I'll make sure my guards know to let you through.''
Sofia beamed when hearing this, causing her to pull out a stack of papers before moving to sit next to him. Archer chuckled at the young woman's excitement and started talking until late into the night.
By the time she stopped speaking, she had fallen asleep, causing him to smile. Archer gently picked her up and put her in his bed before walking over to a comfortable chair and sinking into it.
'Hopefully, I heal soon, this pain is driving me mad,' he thought while grimacing.
Archer soon fell asleep as the wind outside picked up and battered the palace, but thanks to its construction and shield, it was safe, like every settlement on Draconia. The people were grateful for not having to rebuild their homes when the Frostwinter storms hit.
The next morning, Archer's eyes fluttered open to the sound of a storm raging against the windows. The relentless howling of the wind and the rhythmic patter of rain created an uneasy backdrop to his waking thoughts.
He sighed, pulling the covers closer as the cold air seeped into the room, sending an involuntary shiver through his body. ''Damn, the weather's only getting worse,'' he muttered under his breath, his gaze shifting toward the window.
Instinctively, he tried to scan the island for any signs of danger, but a sharp pang of pain coursed through him, forcing him to stop with a frustrated groan. While doing that, a knock rang out just before the door opened.
Archer turned around only to see Edith and Meredith walking in. The two maids' eyes widened when they saw Sofia in bed and him wrapped in covers on a big chair. ''What are you doing, husband? You can't be sleeping on a chair in your condition.''
''She fell asleep, but if you want to take her back to her room, I won't stop you,'' he replied with a tired smile. ''I want to lie down as my body feels weak.''
The white-haired woman turned to Meredith and spoke, ''Do you mind taking her Mere? Come back here once you're done.''
Archer watched the blonde nod before scooping up Sofia and leaving the room. Once she was gone, Edith turned to him with a warm smile, ''Come on, get in bed handsome and I'll join you.''
He complied with the older woman's instructions, nestling himself, as she had suggested. She smiled warmly and moved closer to join him. Gently, she wrapped her arms around his shoulders, guiding his head to rest against her chest.
