How the Psionic Prince Overcomes Reversal and Obsession

2 – Princess Ekinne

I opened my eyes with pain as if my whole body was being torn to pieces.

‘here is… .’

I pushed the blanket off the bed and looked around.

It wasn’t flashy, but it was a room that felt dignified.

‘… My bedroom from 8 years ago.’

The emperor’s children are each assigned an independent detached palace inside the imperial palace.

This was the bedroom inside the ‘Geumhwagung’, the detached palace assigned to me.

“Kuh… .”

I grabbed my throbbing forehead and stood in front of the large mirror on the far side of the bedroom.

A blond young man, a little younger than the last one in my memory, looked at me with purple eyes.

‘Legid.’

When this guy was 10 years old, an accident while riding a horse triggered me to possess it.

I threw off my nightgown and looked at my upper body in the mirror.

The scars left all over the body had disappeared as if they had been washed.

I looked at the calendar and checked the date.

‘I really succeeded in regressing.’

I let out a sigh of relief and looked at myself in the mirror again.

Slender body with moderate muscles.

But that was it.

‘I didn’t have much interest in physical training at this time.’

As a member of the royal family, it was okay to live leisurely, but I ignored it, saying, “Why are you going through such hardships?”

‘In the first place, men rarely use their bodies in this world.’

In fact, from the beginning, this world was not a world where men and women are reversed like now.

Here, too, the social roles of men and women were not very different from the original world I was in until 300 years ago.

But 300 years ago.

After the sky towers that stood up all over the continent shone for seven days and nights, the nature of the mana that filled this world changed overnight.

Since then, the mana affinity of men has disappeared.

On the contrary, the woman’s mana affinity increased even more.

The male knights and wizards who used mana lost everything overnight.

On the other hand, women gradually began to take the initiative in society through the advantage of being the only one who could handle mana.

Today, 300 years later.

The current social image in which men and women are reversed has been created.

Of course, only 300 years did not change all the cultures that had been built over the previous thousands of years.

‘I don’t know if it’s a thousand years, but it’s impossible in just 300 years.’

As a result, there were considerable traces of men and women that had been passed down from the previous era in their clothing, way of speaking, and various cultures.

‘In a way, it can be said to be an era of confusion.’

I don’t know what will happen after another five hundred years from here.

.

.

.

Tsutsutsut—!

I cleared my mind and lightly created a psionic wave.

Original life is how to pioneer new possibilities in the face of crisis.

300 years ago, men lost mana, but instead blossomed a new ability called the psionic system derived from mind/thought energy.

‘Of course, there were so few Awakeners that I couldn’t go against the social trend.’

I looked inside and took a closer look.

Most of the psionic energy that had grown and accumulated in the previous episode had been blown away.

‘Is this a side effect of regression?’

It’s not a big deal though.

Unlike powers such as mana, psionic energy tended to depend on the state of mind or soul.

As long as the numerous experiences, pains, and memories engraved in my soul in previous episodes do not disappear, it is only a matter of time before I can recover the level I have reached.

‘Psionics have been checked, and now what remains… .’

Just then, there was a small knock on the bedroom door and the voice of a young boots was heard.

smart… .

“Prince Regid, it’s time to cough.”

“Wake up.”

In response, a young comrade carefully opened the door and entered.

“Then excuse me— ah! Prince! Again, show off your skin like that! I’ve told you several times… !”

The little attendant was flustered with a pale blue face.

This ten-year-old attendant was Nia, who took care of my personal affairs by my side.

He died in the aftermath of the Sky Tower ordeal, so it’s a nostalgic face to see again in a few years.

“Long time no see, Nia.”

“I saw you last night, but what did you say… That, more than that!”

Quaang!

He was so flustered that he even forgot his etiquette, so he hurriedly shut the door.

“Prince… ! Every time you show such a defenseless side, noble ladies can misunderstand the prince’s heart and misunderstand it… !”

Nia picked up clothes that had fallen on the floor and stood up to cover my naked upper body.

“Please, put on some clothes.”

“How about spending a little more comfortably in my room?”

“Prince!”

Nia, the servant, was smart even at a young age, so she was in charge of various chores and other secretarial duties.

‘There were times when I wondered if I was taking care of children too much.’

In fact, serving in the imperial palace as the closest aide to the prince is an honor in itself for individuals and families.

‘Did I say that Nia came from the youngest son of a low-class noble family?’

It is said that if I quit my job as an attendant in the future, I would be able to choose a good marriage wife from a prestigious aristocratic family that lower-level nobles could not even dream of.

300 years ago, the aristocratic lady-in-waiting who served the princess often rode the Tech Tree, but in today’s era where men and women are reversed, the attendant who serves the prince rides instead… .

Anyway, I was having trouble remembering what happened at that time, but it just worked out.

I asked while putting on my clothes as if I couldn’t win against his torch.

“today… No, what has been planned recently?”

Little Nia, who was tidying up the sheets, quickly took out a notebook and started flipping it.

“The prince’s planned schedule is—”

It is the appearance of an impeccable and competent secretary.

“Today, an interview with a Fairy Newspaper reporter is scheduled.”

“A newspaper interview?”

I asked while tilting my head at the sudden interview schedule.

“Didn’t you check yesterday? There is a request for an interview because of a special article about the prince… .”

“ah.”

Something like that happened. I remember now.

I nodded and gestured to continue.

“And tomorrow morning, an escort knight selection ceremony is scheduled.”

‘Come to think of it, my escort knight was also selected at that time.’

Until now, if the Imperial Knights were in charge of security or security duties, they would be assigned a dedicated escort knight before and after this point.

Of course, befitting the age when men and women were reversed, the occupation of knights had long been occupied by women.

‘There must have been some useful talent among the candidates… .’

In the previous rounds, I picked them roughly according to the recommendation of the people around me.

I was planning to stay in the safe palace anyway, so I wasn’t very interested in the escort incident or anything at the time.

‘But this time, I’d better prepare a talented article in advance.’

It will be of great help in attacking the Sky Tower in the future.

While I was away, I also asked about the Sky Tower.

“You mean the sky tower? That tower, as always, has stood there for thousands of years. Adventurers and mercenaries are always the same.”

“is it… .”

As I was lost in thought, Nia urged me on.

“Prince, you should hurry up and have breakfast, right? That way you won’t be late for the interview.”

Under Nia’s urging, I calmly organized my plans for the future.

‘The important thing is the escort knight selection ceremony tomorrow.’

In order to prepare for the future, it is necessary to deal with not only the outer world but also the dark side, for example, the underworld.

‘First of all, I need an escort knight to move with my limbs.’

He is also a very loyal guy.

‘I wish I had a good guy… .’

* * *

As with the selection of escort knights, today it was necessary to deal with the interview with the fairy newspaper.

I moved towards the reception room prepared on one side of the imperial palace.

As he was leading his attendants and moving through the imperial palace passage, which was a shortcut, he caught sight of a group of people walking face-to-face from the other side.

After checking the person’s face, I inadvertently stopped walking.

A young woman in a fancy dress was approaching from the other side, leading her ladies-in-waiting.

Skirts and dresses with a lot of fabric and a wide area to decorate are still exclusive to women in a different sense.

It feels like maintaining the customs of the era before the cataclysm, but adding a new superior value to them.

As she approached, she looked at my face and slightly frowned.

It is a beautiful face with red eyes and golden hair that is unique to the imperial family.

With sharp eyes, the overall atmosphere was cold and cool.

I knew very well how she would grow and change in a few years.

It was because he had talked with the woman who possessed the stern beauty like a knife, right up until the very moment.

“Echinne… .”

Princess Ekinne, the second princess of the Empire and my younger sister, stopped with about ten steps in between.

I said hello to my younger sister, whom I was glad to see again.

“Echinne, even if you don’t, I’ll see you—”

“you.”

“… … .”

He had a sweet voice, but his voice was like an ice sheet dripping with cold air.

“You, I would have told you not to use this passageway?”

“… … .”

If words and gaze were swords, I would have been cut in two right now.

With pleasure, I belatedly recalled the facts that I had forgotten.

Originally, our brother and sister couldn’t say they were good friends even with empty words.

On the other hand, Ekinne, who came from a high-ranking aristocratic family, used to ignore and keep me in check, my older brother with no background.

I also responded to my sister’s quarrel, and the relationship between us continued to deteriorate.

‘In the previous episode, I had no time to look around because I was suddenly possessed and adapted.’

If, as an older brother, he had been patient and cared for his younger sister, who was mentally unstable due to the side effects of psionic energy… .

Our relationship wouldn’t have gone that bad either.

Even though they were possessed and didn’t mix a drop of blood, even so, there was a bond they had spent together for more than ten years.

Since I was an orphan in the world before Bing, seeing my family again like this made me feel even more special.

‘They say there are things you have to lose to know the value… .’

I realized all over again.

It didn’t matter if there was blood or not.

Echinne was definitely my family and my sister.

“Echinne.”

“Call me the princess. It’s okay for a half-blooded person like you to call me by name… ?”

Tumble.

As I made my way through the attendants and walked towards him, Ekinne laughed.

“Why? Are you angry? Well, you have to look at it, what, what… .”

I lightly hugged Ekinne in my arms.

“Echinne. This brother knows everything now. Because I understand everything… .”

My pitiful and pitiful little sister whose mind has become unstable due to the terrible psionic wave… .

“??”

Ekinne in his arms could not keep up with the situation and blinked with blank eyes and lit twin wicks in his eyes.

“Can’t you let this go?”

A chilling voice.

“I can’t let go.”

“… … what, what?”

He hardened his cold face even more and tried to escape by pushing my chest with angry eyes.

But there’s no way.

struggling.

At the scuffle between the two imperial families, the attendants on both sides couldn’t bear to put their hands on each other and panicked around with faces that didn’t know what to do.

“dare… !”

Ugh-. Ekinne was enraged and created a psionic wave.

Since the cataclysm 300 years ago, women have mastered mana, and some of the men have mastered psionic energy.

However, only the imperial lineage could handle both mana and psionic systems, regardless of gender.

“Uh huh.”

I clicked my tongue and raised the psionic energy in the same way as Echinne, and put it to sleep.

Jijiji Jik-!

The two psionic waves clash loudly and make a grinding noise, but soon they are suppressed by my strength and subside.

Make sure to read from noble mtl . com

“?! uh, what is this… ! how… !”

The psionic output, which I was proud of, was suppressed as it was, so the shock must be quite big.

Psionics were a system in which their abilities varied according to the state of the soul and mental power.

It was me who had reached the top of the Sky Tower after going through countless quenching in which the vessel of the soul was broken, broken, and restored in the last episode.

Even if he lost most of his power, it would be easy to subdue Ekinne now.

“Echinne. Listen carefully to what this brother has to say. Never listen to the maddening whispers of the psionics, but only follow the path of light—”

“… … Are you crazy?”

His voice was expressionless and cold, but his bewildered feelings were evident in his gestures.

procrastinate.

struggling.

I telekinetically locked my younger sister, who was struggling to escape, in my arms.

Then, he began to give a sermon containing the experience of the last session.

“Don’t be swayed by dark emotions—”

“profit… Dad, don’t let go quickly?!”

“Uh huh. My brother is saying, you have to be quiet.”

It seems that being suppressed by a ‘weak man’ hurt my pride as a ‘woman’.

The face of the guy in my arms started getting hotter and redder.
