A Journey That Changed The World.

Chapter 1175: Don't Worry Beautiful



Archer was guided around Deepsea One where Reed explained all its functions which impressed him. Once the tour was over, the commander turned to him with a curious expression before asking, "Why do you fight so hard for us, your Majesty?"

He looked at the older man for a few seconds as he answered, "I remember a verse from a famous book. It says I heard the voice of a dying goddess, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will save my people? Then said I, Here am I; send me."'

Reed's eyes gleamed with a newfound respect as he spoke, "You're here to save us?"

Archer met his gaze firmly, his voice steady with conviction. "Yes. Look at what I've done for our people, Commander. I've given them a home, warmth in the winter, and food to fill their bellies. I've ensured their children don't go hungry while half the world struggles to survive."' After speaking, he turned to watch the workers bustling about their duties. "I will bring peace to this world, Reed. You will bear witness to a united Thrylos, a land where no child will suffer under my rule. They will have the chance to grow, to follow their dreams, free from the pain I endured, free from the abuse that shaped my past."

When the older man heard this, he dropped to one knee and spoke with reverence, "May I write about you, Your Majesty? The average person needs to know that you're unlike any ruler that has come before."

Archer stood there, a look of quiet confusion crossing his face as he nodded, unaware of the impact the book would have on the world. It would shape the minds of children for generations, becoming one of the most widely read works in Thrylos alongside the Fireheart Tomes.

"Tell the truth, even if it makes me look like a villain, Reed," Archer said with a heavy sigh, his voice carrying a rare honesty. "I'm not a perfect king, nor a perfect husband, but that's life. We all have our flaws."
