999 The Immortality Potion

"It's not often that a man finds a woman that he wants to spend the rest of his days with—and for gods and even goddesses like us, it does not strike us odd to perhaps experience what it is like to have a mortal fling or two and simply let it be."

"Adopt the demi-gods and leave the mortal partner for naught. However, that is not the case here,"  King Areal looked over at Raphael and Rowena and smiled kindly.  "My son has decided that he wants to spend his eternity with the woman he loves and as a father, I cannot help but be compelled to support him."

There was a hushed reaction within the crowd as the king continued.

"Normally, the tournament of godhood is what decides on whether we will be having a new god or goddess to accompany us here in Cretea, but for the sake of love—both romantic and familial, I hope that you will indulge us and celebrate the welcome of Rowena Roseland into Cretea, the future wife of your Seventh Prince."
