13 - Epilogue

It’s been 6 months since I was arrested for subversion. Before you ask, the war with King Dumbass ended in 3 days.

It was inevitable as our forces were just too strong. First, there were all the students from the Magic School. Then, there were the aristocrats who already supported Mordred and Arthur joining them in battle, with many neutral parties like my family coming along. And when the truth came out about the King and the Magic Cult, the common people were so outraged they joined us to stop him by all means.

I ended up getting called the Goddess of Justice for trying to prevent all this and was turned into the leader of our forces, as well.

Perhaps our enemy thought he could compete with quality against quantity, but the difference in numbers was just too overwhelming after three days. Immediately afterward, King Dumbass and his court were banished and a new nation with myself and Serena ruling it was established in their place.

How did this happen?

In my original life, I was just a high school student, now I’m the supreme ruler of a nation, I just can’t wrap my head around it. I also feared that putting the fate of the nation into the hands of barely-adults like myself would soon cause its collapse.

But, it didn’t come to pass, as the capture targets (Arthur included) worked tirelessly to prevent that. The country is better off now, even.

After the dust settled, I started making business trips across my new territory. With my conceptual level spells, I could start quickly and conveniently improving the infrastructure of this country. I wasn’t seen as a contractor, though, but a Queen.

Though I couldn’t attend the ceremony for all that travel and work, I’ve finally graduated from Magic School.

But there was no way I was missing this event being held at a church. Beside me is a girl in a snow-white dress: Serena. My outfit is much the same.

Yes, today is our wedding.

It’s funny that I once thought I was straight like most people. Well, I suppose it was easier for me to think that my love, Serena, just happened to be a girl.

“Eli,” Serena whispers to me, “let’s live a happy life together.”

She’s so cute.

“Let’s,” I whisper back.

And so we were officially married.

I wondered what kind of future we’d have, but I knew that with Serena, I’d always be happy.

Elizabeth Asteron

The last Queen of the Old Kingdom before the birth of the current Republic, also known as the Goddess of Justice or the Queen of the Eternal Age. Her reign began when she rooted out the corruption of the previous court then took the throne for herself, all while she was a student at her country’s Magic School. She is beloved by many throughout the world from all walks of life.

Furthermore, it is said that her political skills were incredibly advanced in hindsight, many crediting the birth of the Republic at the end of her reign to her actions as the monarch. Also famous as the world’s First Lesbian Ruler, it is said that she always had her wife Serena nee Hollina by her side, and spent much of her later years with her.
