Becoming a King

In a majestic hall elegantly decorated, Orsted, with a resonant voice, welcomes those present. "Today, we celebrate a unique union, devoid of religious bindings. Eris Greyrat, are you willing to join your life with Gilgamesh for the rest of eternity?"

Eris, standing on the shining platform, looked at a tray of elixirs of immortality and took one. She opened the lid and, before drinking it, said, "I, Eris Greyrat, am willing to be Gilgamesh's woman. I will love him for the rest of eternity and serve as a faithful wife."

Upon drinking the elixir of immortality, Eris felt nothing, but by some strange sensation, she believed that her perception of life had changed on various levels as a glow lit up in her eyes.

Orsted, who knew exactly what the elixir was, nodded, looked at Gilgamesh, and said, "Are you willing, Gilgamesh Asura, to be her husband? Your mission will not only be to love her but to give her a place, respect her, and be faithful to her for the rest of eternity?"

"I, Gilgamesh, am willing." Gilgamesh nodded as he kissed Eris on the forehead, standing on the platform. Since he was marrying three women today, he didn't think it appropriate to kiss them directly, which is why he was more careful.

"Roxy Migurdia, are you willing to join your life with Gilgamesh for the rest of eternity?"

"I, Roxy Migurdia, accept!"

"Elaine, are you willing to join your life with Gilgamesh for the rest of eternity?"

"I, Elaine, accept!"

After everyone drank the elixir of immortality, they relinquished their human lives. Gilgamesh, for the first time, had ceased to be a human and instead had become a deity that would be unreachable for many humans.

"I, as the Dragon God, bear witness to this marriage. I wish you the greatest of happiness."

At the end of this simple ceremony, everyone realized it was over by the fireworks and magical events in the sky.

The surprise wasn't much; everyone understood perfectly who was getting married and was extremely happy with Gilgamesh because he was the one who had abolished slavery and improved the security of the entire kingdom.

Those noble families that were above the skies were now there to help them. At that moment, everyone realized that nobles were not only for status or benefit, but their stay in power is to protect the lands and watch over the people in their domains.

For many, now the nobles were their guardians, the true lords of the lands entrusted to their care. Abuse of power was now highly condemned, and it was not uncommon to see public executions when severe cases of abuse of power occurred.

Rape was punished by castrating the criminal, and later, they were stoned to death. Every law had evolved, and anyone who stood out above the others would eventually be propelled into academies where they would harness their potential.

After Gilgamesh took full charge of this kingdom even before ascending to power, everyone knew that things were improving because of his care and the people he had around him.

"Have you heard that everyone is aware that Gilgamesh will soon be crowned King?"

"Isn't he still too young for that?"

"Do you think that matters when he has completely changed the kingdom?"

The news that Gilgamesh was about to ascend to the throne spread across all continents, and anyone who had evil plans on the day of his coronation mysteriously met their demise.

Standing in front of a huge mirror, Gilgamesh murmured, "In the merry realm of reign, where laughter dances in the wind, laughter blooms like golden petals, weaving joy in its eternal tale."

"The jesters laugh with playful jokes, as the reign fills with merry colors, merry tales among laughter intone, in this realm where loves reign."

"In every corner, laughter is an anthem, like waterfalls of joy, flowing freely, the reign is a garden of laughter, where hearts find their reasons."

Thus in the reign, laughter is royalty, joyfully crowning each day, an eternal poem of laughter unfolds, in this realm where the king is joy."
