Goddess or Mortal?
I swear, I don't just make threads asking for help deciding things. But I really can't decide where to go with this story and need help.
So in my game, spellcasters attend a church called the Magi Assembly. They can go there for magical training, contemplation, worship, weddings, etc. The Nightingales attend the church and host events, while also serving the church's leader and goddess, the Magi.
This is Conrad Kinross, who was the first Nightingale and the Magi's confidante. Rumor has it that he was kicked from the church because he got together with a non-occult sim, which is a grave indiscretion among the witch community. He and his twin sons are looked down upon by the magical community, who feel like he betrayed the Magi.
Except that's not true. He was actually the secret lover to the goddess, Magi Wispria. She is the mother of Conrad's children. Given the societal pressure to be an ethereal beacon of otherworldly perfection, her being with anyone would create a huge scandal. It's also against the rules of the church for her to have kids; she's so powerful, spreading her bloodline could create powerful offspring, which would put the power- (and status-)hungry magical community into chaos. People would be hounding her to have her in their lineage, or assassinate her kids to ensure no one gets the upper hand.
When Magi accidentally became pregnant, she and Conrad came to the decision that they had to stop the affair. Magi had the kids in secret, and Conrad took care of them. No one knows of the affair but them, not even the Nightingales or the twins.
This is where I need help. Originally, Conrad was going to be single for the rest of his days, and his family will go down in history as a Weasley-esque family of modest tree farmers and broom-crafters. But things got complicated when Conrad autonomously struck up a conversation with another sim at the church.

Pepper Stellar is a single mother, her husband died shortly before the birth of their son. She's the daughter of farm girls, but currently lives in Sulani as a modest writer. She visits the Assembly every Sunday with her family, and she often gives parenting advice to Conrad while she's there.
Now I'm stuck on where to go. Should I have Conrad throw caution to the wind, try to get back together with the goddess and throw the magical community into chaos and war? Should he find love with Pepper and live a normal, if charmed life? Or should I stick with my original plan and keep him on his own?
