Archer made his way through the palace corridors. The weather outside worsened, and he was guided by a maid who warmly welcomed him.
He continued to stroke the Hydra sisters who clung to him. Their journey lasted for about ten minutes until they reached a door.
The maid knocked, and a few seconds later, a booming voice from within called out, "Come in!"
She opened the door and gestured for him to enter. Stepping into the room, Archer found the emperor and empress engrossed in paperwork.
As they noticed his presence, their heads snapped up in astonishment, their gazes drawn to the three little creatures clinging to him.
Osoric set aside his paperwork and looked at Archer with a curious expression. "Welcome, my boy! What are these tiny creatures?"
He settled into a chair before explaining, "These are Hydras. I helped in their hatching, and we've had a deep bond ever since."
