Yet therein lies the challenge... by your nature you'd want to be honest, but perhaps even worse than an unknown or unwed father, is a lowly fisherman and foreigner that is Leon. Maybe you could take his hands in yours and make things official, and the commoners might... <span class="mu-i">might</span> be able to look past him being foreign, if yours was a match made in love. But you expect that there would never be an end to the bitterness and hostility from the nobles. And this is assuming all for the best, things could easily be taken worse. Alternatively you could simply lie and say the child was immaculately conceived, as a goddess you simply willed it into being of your own divine flesh, and who could doubt you otherwise? But then what sort of confusions and troubles may that result in down the road?
Not to mention the separate issue of Leon himself, and both your differing desires over this situation. How you'd want to officially recognize him and sit him by your side, a royal and divine consort, and yet what challenges you would face for having an uplifted commoner to yourself. Even you must admit, and even by Menaji customs, that is quite scandalous and improper... and faced with that, Leon's desire of just leaving everything behind would be preferable, gods know he doesn't seem interested in some royal position. Ah, the troubles of letting your heart run away with you before considering the consequences!
Of course... how easy this all would be if you were absolute in your power and authority. Already your dominion over the land is becoming absolute, so it seems strange to be shackled by these mortals when otherwise you could be considered ultimate. The proper and godly way, would be to act however you please, and if you wanted a hundred husbands and a hundred children across the land you could and none would dare question it. Celebrate it they should, in fact. But then how different would you be from those other, tyrant gods like he of the Storm and he of War? Surely, not a unifying a guiding force to save humanity, if that is your desire... but then, maybe that isn't the best way to save them in the first place. How it might be, that through absolute power, you yourself become the unifying conqueror and force the humans to salvation by your hand rather than trying to encourage them to save themselves...
Ah, these dark thoughts, it must be your fluctuating emotional state from this child growing within you!
