A Journey That Changed The World.

Chapter 445 The First Council Of Wives

As the ten girls entered Archer's domain, Nala and Halime couldn't help but look around in amazement, taking in the surroundings.

However, their awe was soon interrupted by a voice tinged with annoyance as they made their way to the living room.

The large group walked to the meeting room in the treehouse that Ella had Archer build for them.

When they entered the room they all started sitting down until?Nefertiti spoke up, addressing the Half-Elf.

"Ella, I'm not sure why you've requested my presence in this meeting. Just because I've chosen to tolerate all of you doesn't give you the right to order me around."

Ella, upon hearing her comment, let out a weary sigh before offering a response. "I'm not ordering you around Nefi. But I understand you may not want just any girl joining the harem, right?"

The pink-haired girl retorted, "I don't want anyone else joining at all! I want him for myself! But I reluctantly accepted the rest of you because of his promises, and now you're telling me I have to interview the next girl who wants to join."

After the Succubus spoke she sat down on one of the chairs and watched Ella, waiting for a response.

But that's when Hemera intervened. ''Nefi I understand your frustration but we needed to have this meeting because no doubt more girls will be joining and we all should have a say in who joins.''

She attempted to ease the tension in the room by gesturing to Nala and Halime, who sat there uncomfortably as the girls bickered.

After that she addressed Nefertiti again, attempting to convey her perspective. "I understand that we may not all get along perfectly, but it's important to remember that we're here for Archer, not just for ourselves. You know he cares deeply for you, so try to relax and listen."

Nefertiti's pink eyes shimmered with intensity as she responded, "I won't accept anyone else. Why should I? It means less time for each of us."

Teuila chimed in at that moment. "He's shown us that he can attend to all our needs, and we're here to ensure that any new girl joining is here to support him, not to take advantage of him."

Her words emphasized their collective concern for Archer's well-being and intentions.

After this the argument grew increasingly intense as Nefertiti made her case, passionately arguing that no more girls should be added to Archer's harem.

Ella, Teuila, Leira, and Hemera wanted to make sure the girls weren't using Archer while Talila and Sera aligned with Nefertiti's viewpoint.

Nala and Halime, on the other hand, were deeply unsettled by this decision, as they believed in the importance of supporting Archer and didn't wish to limit his options.

That was when Halime protested. ''But if we get down the truth that it's none of our decision if he wants more women. He's a white dragon and will take what he wants.''

As the heated argument reached its peak, a voice entered the room, causing all the girls to cease their arguing and turn their attention to the snake girl.

Nefertiti, her annoyance evident, voiced her discontent. "I won't accept this. He already has ten of us, and that's more than enough."

Sera responded with a cheerful tone, "I'm sorry, Nefi, but there's not much you can do. If sweetheart wants something, he'll find a way to have it."

Just as the conversation was unfolding, Hecate entered the room, and all the girls' eyes immediately focused on the busy elf, who was engaged in conversation with little Stella, holding a notepad.

Seizing the opportunity to get a different perspective, Nefertiti directed her question to the Moon Elf. "Hecate! What is your opinion on the possibility of Archer having more women?"

The elf stared at her with her glowing red eyes before responding, "I don't care. As long as Archer continues to see and love me, he can have as many wives as he wants."

With those words, Hecate turned and made her way out of the room, casually mentioning that she would be working at the shop with the help of Eione, Thalia, and Xanthe.

As the room fell into silence following Hecate's departure, Leira broke the tense atmosphere with her thoughts.

"Many empires and kingdoms will seek to forge alliances by offering their princesses to him. We must ensure that none of them would betray him."

Nefertiti responded with frustration, her voice sharp. "What do you mean more princesses? He already has enough!"

Ella, growing weary of the argument, retorted, "Nefi, you need to accept the reality. Archer has an insatiable appetite and can never have enough. So, we must learn to manage it."

Talila's voice held a sense of acceptance as she reflected on her journey. "I had to accept sharing him even if I didn't like it. Who would want to share the one they love?"

Hemera expressed her willingness to share Archer, emphasizing her trust in his ability to prioritize and care for all of them.

"I'm willing to share him because I know he won't neglect any of us, and if he does, we can remind him. He isn't selfish like that, and will do anything for any of us."

Sera chimed in, highlighting Archer's selflessness and his contributions to their kingdoms during the war, underscoring his commitment to their well-being.

But she still brought up the fact that she doesn't want any more girls in the harem. As they continued the conversation, they were startled by a chuckle coming from behind.

The girls turned to find Sia standing there, wearing a playful grin. Her presence injected a lighthearted mood into the room, and they all awaited her perspective on the matter.

Sia stepped forward, her gentle voice carrying a sense of calm. "Why don't we all take a moment to remember why we're here? We're not fighting against each other. We're all here because we care about Archer. Nefertiti, you know how much he loves you, and he always will."

Her words seemed to have a soothing effect on the girl in question, who gradually began to relax and consider the bigger picture.

Most of the girls nodded in agreement, recognizing the importance of supporting Archer and ensuring that new members had his best interests at heart.

The tension in the room began to dissipate, replaced by a collective commitment to their shared cause.

Sia took the initiative to address Nefertiti's behavior, leading her to a separate area of the treehouse.

She questioned the girl's actions, her tone filled with concern. "Why are you causing trouble? Do you not understand that you've carved out a place in our husband's heart and are now a part of him?"

Nefertiti appeared contemplative as Sia continued to share her perspective. "If you continue arguing, all it's going to do is cause tension. If you show that you're the bigger woman and stop arguing, the others will notice it, and Archer will be happy, which could lead to rewards and affection."

Sia's words were aimed at helping Nefertiti find a resolution to the ongoing disagreements within the harem.

The Dragon-Kin leaned in closer to Nefertiti and spoke softly, "You and I are quite similar. I understand the feeling of not wanting Archer to have more women, but he's a greedy dragon at heart. He'll keep adding to his harem. So, instead of resisting, we have to play it smarter. We need to make sure that he spoils us."

Nefertiti heeded Sia's advice but remained agitated as she abruptly exited the room they had gathered in. Her departure left the rest of the group feeling disheartened.

Sia addressed the group after Nefertiti's departure, stating, "I believe Nefertiti has a valid point."

"But ultimately, Archer will be the one to make the decision. He's capable of making the right choice. If he believes they should join, then we should respect his decision."

Ella, Teuila, Leira, and Hemera nodded in agreement, and their willingness to accommodate more members seemed to reassure Nala and Halime.

But Sera, Talila, and Sia didn't want to add more women. They thought the current amount was more than enough.

The meeting concluded on a more hopeful note, with the understanding that Archer had the final say in such matters.

Nala and Halime, despite the initial tension, were grateful for the opportunity to get to know the other women better and hoped that they could build strong relationships over time.

As they left the meeting, Nala and Halime felt cautiously optimistic about their place in Archer's life.

However, Nefertiti was far from pleased with the prospect of new additions to the harem. She made her way to one of the clearings in the nearby forest, her anger seething.

Casting Arcane Blasts at the trees, she vented her frustration, causing the trees to explode in a shower of splinters.

Nefertiti's rage continued to build as she thought about the two new girls, and she couldn't contain her frustration. With an angry scream, she released a burst of energy.

Suddenly, she felt a pair of arms wrap around her waist, and she spun around to find herself face-to-face with Archer, his violet eyes filled with concern.

He asked, "What's wrong, my Succubus?"
