Imperial Palace (2)
In fact, conflict between genders is a story with a very long tradition.
It’s hard for people to understand other people, but how wide is the difference in perspective between those who are physically and mentally different.
Even at the very beginning of the Greek myth, as a man of Uranus, who imprisoned his children, there is a scene in which his wife and mother, Gaia, orders his children to die.
It is indeed an old, unsolved conundrum for thousands of years that even the gods have not been able to escape.
However, I didn’t want to hear such a realistic story until I was reincarnated in another world.
There is a real God who encompasses the entire race here. Shouldn’t gender conflicts have been taught and rooted out in the first place?
Come to think of it, there is no God who should do that…
“I’m not happy that gender influences who decides these important things. But you can’t ignore the reality. There’s going to be all sorts of murmurings if your sister is crowned emperor, especially from the Church.”
The imperial family is fighting with the church anyway, so shouldn’t we just ignore it?
I wanted to dismiss it as nonsense right away, but I barely understood that, at least for them, this was more important than I thought.
Indeed, Orion’s sin is deep.
I’m stumped on how to deal with this.
Of course, he wanted to take the side of the princess, but if he thought about it easily, he could provide an excuse for being counter-attacked by the church.
It was unlikely that it would be a problem to say that it was God’s will that no one thought of, but to deny what was already taken for granted, the minimum amount of evidence needed to support it.
To rebel against the church’s words, which had been taken for granted until now, was an act of violating the church’s authority again, so even if I had heard it from God, there was a high possibility that they would somehow try to find loopholes in my words rather than meekly accepting.
And since they had to make up facts without me, and there would be stone statues and books with images of Orion engraved on the church, and countless empirical materials worth referencing, they were actually quite at a disadvantage.
How do I do this. If I had a neutral appearance like the god I saw, I would have a chance to fight… but…?
Continuing my thoughts, I had a passing thought and moved my gaze to the back of my hand engraved on my hand.
It’s a contributor who helped make my otherwise exhausting life in another world into Hell Mode, but it’s a product of love and hate that I can’t really hate because it’s performance is certain.
A stigma of a different shape from the usual Orion stigma.
Even the image of God that I conveyed to the cardinals when I first woke up was not Orion, but the image of an unknown god.
The cardinals were right about that, claiming that Orion had come in his true form because I was still lacking.
But recently, what did the leader who tried to seduce me on the expedition say?
In fact, what I saw was Orion’s real face, and I said that I was a true saint.
Of course, it’s hard to see that the church tried to officially admit it. It’s probably one of those meaningless words that were just brought out to trick me into taking me to the main office.
If I bring out these words, the church will of course deny it.
However, there is bound to be a big difference between denying the appearance of Orion, which has been popularly known to the bottom and end, and asserting that Orion’s appearance may actually be different, based on what actually happened.
In particular, if we go beyond the simple structure of confrontation between my claim and the denomination and tell me the truth and then cover it with the image of a denomination that denies it, the image that the denomination is concealing some truth about God from the world can be highlighted.
In the midst of this, the part about concealing the truth about God is also true to some extent.
It’s not a matter of gender for God, but the problem is that God is covering up the fact that he doesn’t care for humans.
Can I…do this?
It was calculated that it was worth trying to some extent, but that did not mean that the burden on me was gone.
From now on, the story I was going to insist on was not simply the sect’s dishonor, but a denial of the general common sense that had spread throughout the empire.
Not just opposition from the church, but those who took it for granted, those who were benefiting from it, those who just didn’t like me.
…Then I have to do it even more now. I’m going to say this now or when I’m at the peak of popularity.
Orion-sama, let’s pay for that sin together. Mainly through Orion-sama’s body.
In fact, for this matter, Orion was just in the form of a man, and for a moment I thought that Orion hadn’t done anything wrong.
So I should have made it clear before it disappeared. If that was the case, I wouldn’t have gone this far. Anyway, it’s Orion’s fault.
Thanks to a flexible way of thinking, emotions including guilt were quickly pushed to one side.
I made up my mind and looked at the prince.
“Did you see it?”
“What do you mean?”
Did you see that Orion was a man?
At least I haven’t seen it. Probably no one has seen it for hundreds of years?
“Lord Belfar said that Orion-sama is a male god. Have you seen Orion-sama in person?”
“hahahahaha, there are times when my sister asks strange questions. I haven’t seen it myself. I’m not the one chosen by Orion like my brother. But, there are stone statues of Orion-sama engraved on the streets, and pictures of Orion-sama appear in countless books. It’s a picture, but how can you not recognize Orion-sama?”
“I see. I met him in person.”
“It must have been a truly amazing experience. To be honest, the feeling of meeting God face-to-face is a sensation I can’t even imagine.”
“But it was a little different from what is commonly known.”
“Oh, is it a more dignified figure? In fact, human ability is not enough to fully capture the dignity of a god that we have not seen. If I had seen that figure, I would have done my best to leave it behind. There is confidence in the painting.”
Saying that, the prince pretended to brush in the air and laughed.
I still can’t seem to figure out exactly why I’m bringing this up.
Well, it’s a very absurd statement that is hard to come up with common sense to say from now on.
“In my eyes, I couldn’t tell whether Orion was male or female.”
Silence fell between me and the prince for a moment.
The prince, frozen in the same posture as if he was brushing in the air, was confused, then slowly turned his head towards me.
It was an extremely serious expression. This prince also knows how to make such a face.
“Brother, what did you say just now?”
“The image of Orion-sama I met was not that of a middle-aged man, as is known to the public.”
You heard it right
“Brother, are you saying what you are saying now knowing how big a stir it can cause?”
“I’m just telling you what I’ve been through, but I’m not sure what the problem is because I haven’t learned much.”
In fact, I know all too well, but if I dare to talk about the repercussions my words can cause, I’m glad I don’t hear that I’m instigating trouble by saying things even though I know that.
Originally, when you have a big accident, the best way to act is to act like you don’t know that you have an accident.
“Brother, I’m just saying this just in case, but you’re not lying to help my sister, are you?”
Sharp. His ability to arrive at the truth after weighing the gains and consequences to be gained by saying these things without being deceived even in front of the title of my saint was great.
It cannot be denied that the real ability is outstanding.
While I was thinking about that, I opened my eyes wide and shook my head, as if asking what that meant.
Ronan, who only sees God and lives a sincere life, doesn’t know how to lie at all.
“Yes, no matter how much my brother thinks well of my sister, there is no way he would lie like that.”
Oh, I’m not fooled here. 3 If the prince had cheat eyes like mine, I wouldn’t have known about it, but it’s really unfortunate.
The prince got up from his seat, walked around the room, then sat back down in his chair and continued his conversation.
“Listen, sister. What you just said is very dangerous to you.”
The prince’s words were, of course, sincere.
Of course I could be dangerous. It’s dangerous to you too.
“It’s possible that Lord Orion’s appearance hasn’t changed at all over a long period of time, but there are still a few things that don’t change regardless of the era. A huge appearance, neat beard, and wavy hair. Material things like the Holy Grail that symbolizes Orionism. Except for that, all of those things became elements that symbolize Orion-sama.”
I nodded lightly as if I agreed.
The prince seemed to be thirsty at seeing me like that, drank a glass of water and then continued.
“However, if your sister suddenly claims that Orion’s appearance is different from what is known, what will happen? There might be a story coming out. I don’t think the church will defend your brother’s will.”
There are only words that are all right.
If you keep playing cowardly with facts, let’s be fair and fair with fabrications.
“But the church has already affirmed the image of Orion I saw.”
“…At the church? When? I know you haven’t been on good terms lately.”
Of course, it’s not good. There’s no way the church will officially affirm my words.
“It was from the very beginning that Orion-sama I explained was positive, and at first they thought it was because of my lack of ability, but recently they said it wasn’t that, and Orion-sama changed his appearance and appeared in front of me. Those who participated in the expedition He told me… but he lost his life in an unfortunate accident.”
However, there are no members of the church right now in this place, so it doesn’t matter much what I fabricate.
Subtly, I also add rice cakes about Orion’s huge blank period that I just came up with.
A sharp-witted prince would probably arrive at a hypothesis that something had happened to Orion from my words, and would guess that the cult is hiding something.

Later, when the prince finds out secretly, if he comes to know the conversation I had with the cardinals, he will have no choice but to think more deeply about my words.
At the point where you have already heard these words from me and seriously pondered over my words, you have achieved your minimum goal.
“It’s a headache story.”
My theory is that it’s better to have a headache together than to have a headache alone. I’m glad that you seem to understand my pain.
“Even if it’s true, it will create a huge sensation. It’s certain that it’s not something you can talk about without thinking. Sister, you’d better not talk about it carelessly for the time being.”
Until when? Until you overtake the princess and ascend to the throne of emperor?
“I don’t intend to make a big fuss about it. What is so important about the appearance of a god? I just did it, and I have no desire to cause trouble.”
In fact, many, many.
Even for my safe future, the princess’ rope must be big and huge. I’m going to cause trouble here and there if I’m watching you scratch it for a reason that doesn’t work.
The social chaos it will cause? That doesn’t seem to be my jurisdiction. Could you please contact the ministry in charge?
I just said that out of courtesy because I didn’t want to offend the prince.
“Yes. Thank you for noticing. It was a pointless meddling with my brother, who probably knows Orion-sama’s intentions better than anyone else.”
After speaking, the prince stood up from his seat.
“It’s fun to talk with my brother, but I’m thinking of things I have to do. It wouldn’t be polite to hold on to a person who will be the main character of tomorrow’s victory ceremony for a long time.”
Isn’t it a bit late to care about that?
Yes, it must be so complicated in your head that you can only say such a clichéd greeting. We must hurry to find out if the story about this is true, how far it has spread, and if it can be stopped.
In addition, to make sure the story doesn’t spread, we only have to give orders to trusted personnel to find out, and we have to look into the church, but we have to hurry even more.
“It was a beneficial time for me. Please visit me when you have time.”
He was sincere when he said that it was a useful time. If it wasn’t for the prince, he would have been completely unprepared for this crazy concept spreading in this world, and would have had to watch the princess collapse without realizing it.
I waved my hand in gratitude.
bye! Hit hard!
jump.
“Belfar. Are you here again? Saint Ronan has to participate in the triumphal ceremony tomorrow, so I told him to stop today…”
“I’m sorry, sister! I want to have a friendly chat with my sister, but I have urgent business!”
As soon as the prince opened the door to leave, the princess came in as if touching a baton.
Seeing the princess start nagging, the prince lowered his head and quickly walked away.
“…Not like Belfarre. Did something happen to you?”
After staring blankly at the back of the prince, the princess soon turned her head and asked me.
What happened? I pondered over the conversation I had with the prince.
Um… I found out that the world was blaming the princess for a ridiculous pretext, so I lied about Orion’s gender and retook it. I had to give it to the medicine to work.
I have a lot of small worries, but does it make sense that such a super-perfect person is a flaw because she is a woman?
To be honest, if Orion had been fine, he would have supported the princess even if he became a woman himself.
I can see that it is close to fulfilling the will that Orion failed to put into practice.
In other words, it was an act worthy of a saint.
It’s not unusual for a saint to act like a saint.
“Nothing special happened.”
Nothing happened!
