Chapter 6 A servant

"Hmm♪ hmm♫ hmm♬"

A lady was walking towards a particular room while humming a lullaby with a change of clothes and water bucket. She was wearing a traditional servant like outfit with thin silk covering her mouth.

A bright day to with fresh year and doing your job to wake the future king, what else could be more alluring work she could ask for?

She entered the room after a soft knock. She walked towards the bedroom of a boy. He had blond hair and fair skin so soft that she was afraid to even touch the holy flower with her lowly hands. He was none other than the prince of Uruk, Gilgamesh.

He was sleeping like an angel with soft breath mixed with the fresh year of the early morning.

She first prayed for the safety and longevity of the future king then decided to wake him up. If not for his overly-cautious parents who were not only royalties but the strongest individuals in Babylon, she would have taken one or two quick pecks of Gilgamesh's rosy soft cheeks.

"Your highness, wake up~"

She softly shook him up in and soft voice.

"Hmm..! Jussttt a min…"

She didn't know what he said since he was sleepy but she shook him again to prepare him for morning lessons.

Slowly he opened his eyes and took a long yawn.

"Good morning, Sidri…"

She smiled happily and replied, "Good morning, your highness! I hope for a wish-fulfilling and bright day for your highness~"

She was happy that the prince of Uruk greets a lowly servant. Though it has only been 3 days that Gilgamesh has regained his consciousness, she has been taking care of him till he was born and she knew that Gilgamesh was a polite and charming child.

"Umu!" Gilgamesh nodded with a smile so bright that petrified her for seconds.

'Awww! Hold on Sidri. He is the prince of Uruk and the future king of Babylon. You have to be careful!' She thought and coughed.

She knew that Gilgamesh is a man of high magic bloodline and this could be his one of many passive skills. She may not be a magician or warrior but she had studied skills and magic in great depth. She was trained to raise royalty since she was a child so she has great knowledge about almost everything that she has to teach Prince Gilgamesh.

After changing his clothes and preparing him for the breakfast, she spoke, "Your highness, please come to the dining room. Your parents would be waiting for you."

"Then please guide me," Gilgamesh said extending his soft hand towards Sidri.

Sidri smiled and held his arm to guide him. It was another one of Gilgamesh's new antics she also adored.

She then led him to another room where the breakfast was already prepared and placed on dastarkhwān (A dastarkhwān or dastarkhān, is the name used across South Asia and Central Asia to refer to the traditional space where food is eaten.)

King and his wife/secretary of Babylon were also waiting for him. She led him to the dining room and then left to let them eat.

She could hear that King Nisar boasting about himself and how it is like to be king. Most expensive wine, women (his wife only since he doesn't have the good stamina to satisfy multiple women), and gold. She chuckled when Lady Celia smacked the king when he was talking about women in front of a 4 years old child.

She knew that the king was just spouting bluff since, in reality, he hates being king due to the sheer number of paperwork. It was rumored that the previous king died from paperwork. King Nisar also feared that his end would also be the same so he wants to make Gilgamesh the King and escape to a quiet island to enjoy reading books or practice magecraft since he was a book worm and a caster.

After breakfast, she led him to a small study room where her job was to teach him about the language and culture of Babylon. She also has to teach him about royal etiquette and how to act in front of city lords.

"So what are you going to teach me, Miss Sidri?" Gilgamesh asked her.

"I am first going to teach you about language. How to write and read. And your highness, please call me Sidri only. I am just a lowly servant." She didn't want to gain favors from him just because she was selected as a royal servant for the prince.

"Hehe~ that's not possible. After all, you are taking care of me since I was born. Now you are also responsible for teaching me. You are not just any lowly servant, you are my servant and now as a teacher, you have the right to be respected, right?" Gilgamesh chuckled and said.

She was again stunned by his pure smile. She took a deep breath to calm herself down. She can't show her weak side now that she has the respect of a prince.

"Very well, your highness. Now that you have acknowledged me so highly, I will do my best to guide to the best of my ability." She said then started to teach him language and how to read them.

Just after few minutes, she was surprised how fast the learning ability Gilgamesh has. He was not only able to read and write Sumerian language but was also able to make new words.

He was not only learning the language but also developing it. She also became excited about making new vocabulary for her mother language.

"Thank you for the hard work, Miss Sidri," Gilgamesh said with the same charming smile but this time she was able to overcome his charm and didn't get petrified.

"It is my pleasure your royal highness. It is the happiest moment of my life to be able to acknowledge by such a kind prince." She said then bent down on her knees with one hand placed on her chest and added, "Please accept my gratitude and my eternal loyalty." She coughed and then added, "Oh I forget that lesions about royalty haven't started."

She was a little embarrassed that she acted on her impulse since Gilgamesh had very high charisma even as a child but then she felt a soft hand on her head. She looked up and saw Gilgamesh smiling and patting her head.

"Hehe, thank you Miss Sidri. I also enjoyed the company of a beautiful lady. I will be looking forward to you."

Talk about flattery!? She knew that little Gil will be, no is a lady killer. She has to train her daughter too to prevent other women from coming after him.

"Let's go." She then again held his hand guide him for lunch. She hoped that these days lasts forever but she knew that Gilgamesh will be the King of Babylon one day so she has to cherish these moments.

There are something that I would like to clear. This story has high number of characters from other fiction. I am already planning to introduce Ulster and Britannia from Nasuverse and Dragnof from fairy tail. Please tell me if you have any other kingdom in mind that i should add.

So please vote here.

Please name the kingdoms that i should add.

Should I add other races like beastmen or elves? If so then name some characters so that I can make a lore.
