Thunder boomed outside, and rain lashed the world beyond the window. Archer and Elizabeth were lying in bed relaxing after having sex all night; the brown-haired woman was sleeping with her head resting against his chest.
'This is peaceful,' he thought while resting against his arm.
Archer was playing with her hair, which sent the older woman into a deep sleep. While lying there, he started to hear the people outside Elizabeth's apartment; most were guards and housekeepers going about their tasks.
That's when a noise caught his attention, causing him to get out of bed and approach the bedroom door. He opened the door only to see a dark room, but thanks to his dragon eyes, nothing could hide from him.
While looking around the room, a woman materialized out of nowhere, and Archer recognized her instantly, 'Lady Death,' he thought with a smirk.
