I Reincarnated But Will Try To Live Without Using My Cheat Ability - CH 263

The evening will be a briefing on these tangled threads.

Only three people are in the room.

“I’m afraid I can’t say anything publicly from this point on, since it’s going to be apostle-related. But I think it’s fine to talk until the tangled threads of marriage.”

Mil nodded at my question.

“It’s troublesome to have relatives all over the place ……”

“I’ll come back to that later, so let’s put that aside. The phenomenon that is happening now is the solidification of society. They can’t make large-scale reforms because they are afraid of the apostles’ reset. The apostle’s lover’s family even lost money on a legitimate reform, so the apostle crashed the reform.”

Kiara contorts the edges of her mouth and gives a small shrug.

“Apostles don’t try to know politics. I’ve heard that all the apostles have said, “Politics is dirty and I don’t want anything to do with it”. It’s fine if they really did not touch it at all …… If something goes wrong with a lover or a harem’s relative, they intervene and turn it upside down. They just turn it upside down, but they don’t particularly direct the profits afterwards.”

This is probably due to the thought process before their reincarnation.

In many cases, the politicians and bureaucrats in the anime are either lining their own pockets or are incompetent.

They are portrayed as if they don’t need to be there.

Do they realize that in reality, they would not be able to live the way they do now if they were not there?

Even if they were, what happens when you put idiots in charge of politics. ……

Mil looks uncomfortable at Kiara’s story.

“I wouldn’t have known that if I didn’t have the job I have now, but …… It’s not about being dirty or not being involved. If we don’t do it properly, it’s going to make everyone’s life a lot harder.”

You can’t really know what’s going on around here unless you actually do it.

“If there is any inconvenience to this relative, they intervene. That’s the key here.”

Mil nodded her head.

“But an Apostle’s harem is limited in number, isn’t it?”

Kiara chuckled and wagged her finger.

“Intervention isn’t limited to direct relatives, you know. Some of the harem’s relatives have relatives, too. Relatives rely on relatives, and the harem sends their requests to the apostles.”

Mil sighed, feeling astonished.

“So that’s how they spread their web of relatives.”

I hold up my index finger.

“There’s one more thing. You know about the story about the apostle that turned the past problems upside down, don’t you? But the human world does not remain with the same structure forever. Naturally, there will be fights and skirmishes. But, they don’t want to reset the results of the skirmishes. What do you think they will do?”

Mil looks as if she wants to say to give up.

“I don’t know. They’ll just have to butter up to the apostles, but there are limits.”

“They’ll make sure the future apostles can’t sue them. In other words, they’ll eradicate their families and anyone associated with them.”

Mil looked genuinely surprised.

“They’d go that far?”

“It’s happened in the past. That’s how they were able to secure their interests. That way, they don’t know when they will be exterminated. They need to protect themselves. In other words, they try to protect themselves by expanding their family relationships. Once the relationship is expanded, it becomes impossible to eradicate them.”

Mil frowned, but her face soon became aware of something.

“I understand why they are immobilized, but the previous lord of this place was reformed, wasn’t he? Wouldn’t it be bad if his descendants appealed to the apostles?”

“You’ve got a good point. However …… It’s not enough to fix it anyway. There have been times when the status quo has been maintained despite clear negligence or mismanagement. But the people of that territory joined the harem. Then what happens?”

Kiara gives Mil a wicked grin.

“The apostles have inflicted punishment on the lords and the royal family. The apostles probably did it with the best of intentions. Here we have a precedent that a clear misgovernment must be punished. The story doesn’t end there. The descendants of the fallen family joined the harem. When they complained that the punishment to their ancestors was too harsh, the apostles intervened again.”

Mil looked astounded.

“So …… what do you think they should do?”

“That’s where the churches closely associated with the apostles come in. For major dispositions, such as reorganization, we ask the Church. The Church preserves such precedents from the past. They show them to the apostles and ask them not to overturn precedents. When the apostles are asked, they are very happy to oblige. The Church asks the apostles for their judgment during the descent of the apostles. The apostles don’t like troublesome talk, so they leave it to the church.”

“Now even the church is coming in …… I never thought the world could be so crazy ……”

I nod my agreement to Mil’s indignation.

“I’m a feudal lord now, and my father taught me for the first time. It would be a source of confusion if anyone other than the lords were to know. But the intervention of the church is not so bad. So far, every time the apostles have changed, the situation has been turned upside down. It’s just that with the church in control, things become more consistent.”

“When I see the look on Al’s face, you’ve got a face that says that’s not all there is to it. ……”

“I guess you’re able to see through it. This time, they want the Church to rule in their favor, so they’ve decided that donations and marriages with relatives of the head of the Church will not be accepted ……”

A fed-up-looking Mil stopped me.

“Oh, enough! It’s all about relatives ……”

Kiara started laughing at Mil’s condition.

“That’s why brother stands for the rule of law. In the current situation, everything is determined by the strength of relatives and backstage manipulation. It’s just that …… the relatives’ relationships are so intertwined that the effect is not clear. But it is dangerous to stop. The result is so chaotic that even brother has given up trying to figure it out.”

“It’s no use thinking about the unreasonable …… I’ll leave it to the likes of what may be born in the future.”

You need a scholar who specializes in genealogical research to do it.

It is absolutely impossible for a feudal lord and a lady of the house.
