Chapter 1213: Do You Want To Be With Me

Archer and the three women returned to Emberport only to see something happening in one of the city squares. He wondered what was happening, causing him to approach as the Oathkeepers followed behind him.
When they got to the crowd, they noticed a Dragonblood Knight was on his knees while Legionnaires circled him. This caused Archer to grow curious, and he asked, "What's going on here?"
As the words left his lips, everyone stiffened as the Draconian commanders turned around and knelt before one of them explained as he pointed to a group of people huddled together, "This man butchered a sun elf like a monster and injured three more."
Archer looked at the giant man, who looked like the spectacle did not bother him. He stepped forward and asked, "Why did you kill the man?"
"They disrespected you, my king, and I believe their spies for the Duskfire Empire," the Dragonblood Knight answered in an honest voice.
Without waiting, he casting Mana Manipulation and dragged one of the squirming women to him. Archer cast Soul Eater and started eating the elf's memories before dropping her as she let out a scream.
When the surrounding soldiers saw this, they were shocked, but he grinned before looking at the kneeling man, "Get up. Do you wish to join the Oathkeepers? I want extremely loyal men like yourself around me."'
Archer observed the man's eyes widen in shock as he took in the sight of the giant knights encircling him and the three women. After a moment of stunned silence, the man nodded, his expression shifting to one of resolve.
With a deep bow, he introduced himself. "I'm Talon, my king," he said, his voice steady. "It would be an honor to join the legendary Oathkeepers."'
"Good," he replied to the big knight before sending a message to Leira asking if she was in the lab.
The cat woman quickly replied, 'Yes, Nefi and I are working on the Oathkeeper project. In the next year, you'll have ten more squads of them to work with.'
Archer was happy hearing that but revealed the reason for him contacting her. 'I have a Dragonblood Knight here who wants to become one. Should I send him over?'
'Yes!' Leira replied in a cheerful voice. "The Imperial Guard will escort him in, but do you mind if we create some knights as bodyguards for the harm?'
'Four per girl?' he suggested. "They are beasts and can hold the line until help can come.'
Silence followed until she answered, 'Sounds good to me, handsome. Can I see you soon?"
''Take her,'' Kassandra said, her voice icy. "The sentence is death, and it's yours to carry out."
Archer watched the elf woman screaming as she was being dragged away, causing him to glance at Morena, who stood in front of him. 'I've been horrible to her. She does truly care for me,' he thought while feeling guilty.
He opened a Gate back to the Domain before speaking to Lucrezia and Kassandra, "Can you girls wait for my in the treehouse? I want to talk to Morena."
When the older woman heard this, her body stiffened as she turned around with a worried expression. The other two agreed and kissed him goodbye as Morena got nervous even more as she spoke, "Is everything okay Arch?"
Archer's smile softened, his eyes filled with warmth as he asked a question that would change everything. "Do you want to be with me?"
Morena's eyes widened in surprise, her heart racing as a whirlwind of emotions surged within her. She shook her head in disbelief, her voice barely a whisper. "Do you mean this... truly?" His gaze never wavered, his sincerity clear. "I do. And that goes for Demacia, too."
The words hit her like a wave, and before she could think, she lunged forward, wrapping her arms around him in a tight, almost desperate embrace. "Thank Goddess Tiamat," she murmured, her voice thick with relief and joy. "I thought you didn't feel the same anymore, with all the young women around you."
Archer held her close, his heart swelling as he whispered, reassuring her that his feelings had never wavered and for the first time in a long while, Morena felt truly at peace. Seconds later, she looked at him, "Can you ask, little sister? She would be happy if you did."
"Of course," he said with a smile. "It's about time I returned the love you two show me."
Archer and Morena stepped into the Necromancer's home within the Domain, the air thick with the scent of ancient tomes and arcane power. Shelves lined the walls, filled with dusty books; flickering candles cast soft light across the stone floors.
She led him through the hallways until coming to a lab where Demacia was sitting at a table going through paperwork while mutter. The younger necromancer didn't notice them until he approached with a knowing smile.
When close enough Archer grabbed her by the waist before whispering into her delicate ear,
"It's me Dem."
"So lucky you spoke, I was just about to blast you with a spell handsome," Demacia said while leaning into him with a radiant smile.
