Has the Sea God Eaten the Sacrifice Today? (Matriarchal Society)

Western fantasy, but the man gives birth

Melvie Sieg has always had a bad temper.

As the goddess who rules the seas and skies, she's fickle and cold. She never attends the gatherings of the benevolent gods or responds to the advances of evil gods, living like a solitary ruler high above everyone else.

People call her... the Tyrant.

One day, Melvie goes to the sea to clear her head. A group of Old God cultists mistake her for someone else and offer their sacrifice to her.

A young man with black hair is tied to the deck, his pale skin covered in bloody marks.

His lashes are lowered, his beautiful eyes dull and lifeless, and he trembles pitifully.

Like a red rose drenched by the wind and waves, fragile and beautiful, impossible to resist snapping off.

Melvie curls her lips into a cruel smile. Maybe she'll keep him around for fun.

She never expected that from then on, she'd be studying strange books with great effort, like One Hundred Ways to Raise a Human, The Third United Nations Cookbook, and A Collection of Bedtime Stories, and that the other benevolent gods would quickly welcome her into their ranks.

God of Light: Flowers need tender care. Come, come, let me tell you...

Goddess of Night: Night is when dreams come alive. If the child can't sleep, don't worry. I have some special tricks~

Mother Earth: I'm so glad you've come to understand how important life is. Humans are wonderful, aren't they?

Melvie: I didn't! I didn't! Just let me explain!

Not only that, she also discovers that she seems to have developed unusual feelings for this sacrifice...

.

As the youngest son of Duke Albold's family, Rein Albold was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, but his carefree days only lasted until he turned eighteen.

When the duke's true son, who'd been raised elsewhere, returned, Rein learned that he was merely a substitute chosen because his destiny matched the other boy's.

--A sinister sacrifice awaited him.

They say the gods love all people. So why was he deceived, betrayed, and abandoned?

He had nothing left.

The sea wind howled and white waves surged as a woman's figure appeared.

She lifted his chin. Her deep blue eyes were as calm as the sea, and she asked coolly, "Are you my sacrifice?"

He didn't know that the wheels of fate had already begun turning.

When everyone else cast him aside, one god was willing to awkwardly learn how to love him.
