The Kiss Of Death

Archer and Nefertiti made their way down the road while the college came into view. He couldn't help but be reminded of a certain magic school from a book on Earth.

Soon, the two walked through the entrance and saw Ella, Hemera, Llyniel, and Sera standing near a fountain, talking with Lioran's fiancees.

Lioran and Ciaran intercepted Archer as the duo approached, blocking his path while Nefertiti walked past them.

That's when Lioran commented with a grin. "Did you accept Nala? She has been very happy."

Archer looked at the lion boy with a neutral expression before responding with a chuckle. "Indeed, but as of now, only you two and the girls are in the know. I prefer to see how things unfold before making an official announcement and confronting your father."

Lioran's face lit up with a warm smile as he nodded in approval. Meanwhile, Ciaran extended a welcoming hand to Archer, firm in grip and camaraderie.
