How the Psionic Prince Overcomes Reversal and Obsession

33 – Stray Cat Elf Girl (1)

It was a mess, no, a chaotic situation.

I watched the battle between the escort knight Peria and the northern princess Sirel for a while.

Chaeng, Chaeng Chaeng!

In particular, pay attention to the movement of Sirel, a snowy elf.

She was now struggling to withstand Feria’s sword attack.

‘It’s much better than I thought?’

Peria was an elite swordsman who was an imperial knight.

Not to mention, there was a time when I broke through the high competition rate and even made it to the final round of selecting my dedicated escort knight.

On the other hand, Northern Princess Sirel is an aspiring candidate who is just about to enter the academy.

Although the talent she possessed was enough to compete for the primacy in the previous episode… However, he was not yet at the level of being able to handle an imperial knight.

just as expected.

puck! Feria induced an opening in Shirel with her skillful swordsmanship, and then kicked her shin and broke her stance.

“Ouch!”

Soon, Feria knocked her down as if throwing her to the ground and climbed on to subdue her.

‘Also. I can’t beat Peria with the level of Syrel now.’

I don’t know if I can climb the sky tower and accumulate more time and experience.

As Feria subdued Sirel, the chaos in the test site gradually began to be sorted out.

I got up from the auditorium.

“Regid, it’s dangerous, so stay here.”

My sister dissuaded me, but she shook her head.

“I have something to check with her. My sister will go with you too.”

Sister Irene hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

“but… . I wonder why she said such nonsensical nonsense about her daughter… … Hmmm, I need to dig up the information.”

My sister and I approached the place where Sirell was subdued under the guard of escort knights.

Peria grabs Sirell’s arms behind his back and holds him down with his knees while he is in the middle of the interrogation.

“Reveal your identity!”

I stopped Peria and opened my mouth to Sirel who was lying on the ground.

“Northern princess Sirel.”

At those words, older sister Irene opened her eyes wide and made a surprised face.

“Boo, Northern Princess! you… ?”

Her silver hair, sharp ears, and skin as white as snow.

People around him also belatedly burst into exclamation through the keyword that was intertwined with the characteristics of the snowfield elves.

“Northern Princess! The daughter of the Imperial First Swordsman?”

“Wow, I’m sure the Grand Duke of the North is also a snowfield elf… .”

Sirel was the daughter of the Grand Duke of the North, Sanael, and was the one who caused a stir when she was suddenly revealed to the public.

Originally, the Grand Duke of the North, Sanael, was from a snowfield elf, and she has lived with only the sword as her friend without a relationship with a man.

If it had been strange, would the word ‘sword maiden’ have been added as a nickname?

The Grand Duke of the North, who had been doing this, suddenly revealed that he was his daughter and suddenly revealed Syrel.

‘Besides, she insisted that Sherrell, who had already grown up, was her daughter.’

It is a situation where the emperor’s face is not reflected in the social circle, and only rough information such as name and age is suddenly announced.

This is just plain suspicious.

At this point, in the social world, there must be a lot of gossip about it.

Sherrel was lying face down on the ground, only raising her head to look at me.

Compared to the body of a grown adult, her expression and eyes were innocent and somewhat strange.

“As expected, Dad recognizes me.”

Sister Irene shouted out loud.

“Who is your daddy!!”

“Sister, calm down for now.”

After soothing my sister, I asked Sirel.

“Why do you call me daddy?”

“You sent a proposal letter to your mother in the name of the princess, saying it was embarrassing.”

“The princess?”

What is a proposal, and what is the princess talking about?

I inadvertently looked back at Irene, the crown princess and the princess.

Sister Irene tilted her head.

“What the heck is that—— oops… !”

Then, as if he had suddenly realized something, his eyes widened.

Pack-! Sister Irene turned her head towards somewhere at the speed of worrying about breaking her neck.

Then, in the place where the test takers were gathered, he looked for someone and glared at him with sharp eyes.

“Ugh… ! Ekiine… !!”

At that unusual atmosphere and gaze, her sister Ekinne began to break out in a cold sweat.

‘indeed.’

I think I know roughly how it happened.

‘Not too long ago, I heard that Ekinne proposed marriage to the Grand Duke of the North, and he did.’

It seems that the incident caused a chain effect, and today’s incident happened.

“Awkward… .”

I could hear the grinding of teeth from older sister Irene.

My sister strode toward Equinne with heavy steps.

Startle!

People around me shuddered slightly at the feeling that the temperature had suddenly dropped.

“Echinne!! How dare you get someone’s permission and intervene arbitrarily in the marriage of ‘my legged’!!”

“That, that… .”

Ekinne put on a frightened expression at her sister’s anger, which was rare.

“Come over here! It looks like you need a deep conversation after a long time!”

“I-let this go!”

Struggling!

Sister Irene manipulated the psionic barrier and imprisoned Ekinne in the form of a cage.

Then he dragged it to the ground as it was.

‘It’s been a while since I’ve seen my sister so angry.’

I decided to entrust the punishment for my younger sister, Ekinne, to my older sister.

‘Poor fellow… .’

Irene’s older sister doesn’t usually get angry, but once she started acting out, there was absolutely no evil spirits.

‘All that’s left is… .’

“Dad, release me.”

Looking down at Syrel, who was prostrate at her feet, she let out a sigh mixed with worries about what to do.

Just then, someone hurriedly ran in from far away and broke in anew.

“What the hell is this all about?!”

A dark elf dean with brown skin and pure white hair.

It was Benita, a sharp and nervous beauty.

* * *

Fortunately, with Benita’s skillful control, the swordsmanship exam resumed soon after.

I took Cerel and moved to another location with Benita.

The office looks like it hasn’t been used for a while, and dust is piled up here and there.

Dean Benita was in the middle of interrogating the northern princess, Sirel, sitting down.

I watched it from the side, accompanied by Peria.

Benita asked Syrel as if to confirm it once again.

“So you’re saying you came here with the Grand Duke of the North to enter the academy?”

“yes. While my mother is entering the Sky Tower, I want to enter the academy as well.”

I was silently lost in thought at Sirell’s words.

Northern Grand Duke Sanael.

An outstanding swordsman who has held the title of the first sword of the Kazidum Empire for nearly a hundred years.

When I was taken to the Sky Tower in the previous episode, the Northern Duke had already died.

I remember wondering why a talented person like her had to retire.

‘Not only me, but everyone back then was curious.’

At the time, I kept asking Sirel several times, but in the end I couldn’t hear the answer.

What could have happened that would cause her, the first swordsman of the Empire, to die on the way?

‘Maybe today’s job is a good opportunity.’

After returning, he was just at a point where he was a bit at a loss as to how to approach the Northern Grand Duke.

She didn’t know that she might be able to make a point of contact with the Grand Duke of the North, Sanael, as a result of Sirell’s intrusion.

At that time, Sirell tilted her head at Benita and asked.

“Am I failing the exam?”

“Absolutely!”

“Then I can’t… .”

Benita asserts in a nervous tone, and Cheryl rolls her eyes as if in bewilderment.

It was the sight of the Dark Elves fiercely attacking the Snow Elves.

I dissuaded such a Benita.

“Professor Benita. I will take responsibility, so could you give Sirell a chance to take the exam?”

“… I beg your pardon?”

“Isn’t it not a situation where there are separate victims anyway? It’s just a simple happening, so I don’t think there’s any need to treat it too harshly.”

Meanwhile, he proposed to Cheryl.

“Cyrell. But instead, there is one condition.”

“What?”

“I would like to introduce you to your mother, the Grand Duke of the North.”

There’s the issue of the letter from Ekinne, and this incident, and in many ways, it would be better to talk face-to-face at least once.

“yes! great!”

Cheryl nodded broadly with innocent eyes.

I turned to Benita again.

“How are you, dean?”

Saying that, Benita opened her eyes narrowly and looked at me.

“… mumbling… … with that face… Now even the Grand Duke of the North wants to be possessed… .”

“Dean?”

“The prince will take care of it. I can’t stop it.”

She shook her head and went outside.

‘Isn’t that too heartless for an educator?’

One day I felt the need to talk with her alone about the true attitude of an educator.

I turned to Cheryl.

“First of all, let’s finish the exam and go meet the Grand Duke of the North.”

“But my mother is in the sky tower right now… .”

“Come to think of it, that’s what I said.”

Entering the Sky Tower alone, leaving her daughter unattended.

I roughly guessed it in the previous episode, but I feel that the Northern Duke’s educational policy is somehow out of line.

Then, out of curiosity, I asked Cheryl.

“Cyrell, where are you staying? Is it the ecliptic?”

Tridum, the city where the Sky Tower was located, was only a few hours away by carriage from the ecliptic.

An ordinary imperial aristocrat should have at least one mansion in the imperial capital.

No matter how barren the northern part is, it must have provided at least a place to stay in the ecliptic.

“roof.”

“… what?”

“I’m sleeping on the roof with the kitties!”

I wondered what the hell this was about, so I asked him a lot.

“My mother gave me money to pay for the hotel, but I lost my wallet while buying skewers.”

“Then how are you still eating?”

“hunt! The pigeon roast is delicious.”

I was speechless and looked at him.

‘Is this the Northern mindset?’

Or is Sirell something special?

I met Sirel in the previous episode already in a broken state, so I’ve never seen her innocently lacking like this.

‘What should I do with this guy?’

Although the northern part is bound to the empire under the name of the Grand Duchy, that is only a façade.

It was a separate region independent from birth, and due to various circumstances, the relationship between the northern part and the imperial family was currently in a very delicate state.

‘The Grand Duke of the North is honored with the first sword of the empire, but… Honestly, I can’t deny that it’s propaganda with a lot of political calculations.’

‘We are one family united in the name of an empire!’ It’s a kind of propaganda to give this feeling.

But it’s too embarrassing to be a family. You can tell that just by looking at that Sirell’s way of speaking and his words and actions.

‘In addition to the regional feelings unique to the north, he is from a closed elf tribe… .’

If you look at the logic of a general war god, the actions of that snowfield elf, Sirel, can be difficult to understand.

And that’s normal too.

‘But I can’t leave the North like that forever.’

This is also something that I had in mind from the time I returned.

It is also part of my plan to subjugate the northern part to the empire completely and calm internal unrest.

‘In order to do so, Sirel’s mother, the Grand Duke of the North, Sanael, and her tribe must completely surrender to the Empire both physically and mentally.’

It will be very difficult and time consuming, but I can’t give up. I just have to take one step at a time.

It was then.

smart.

The door opened with a knock.

“Legid, are you here… ?”

It was Irene’s sister.

Apparently, he was a bit disheveled, probably having rudely taught Ekinne and teasing her once.

Seeing my sister like that stirred an instinct deep in my heart.

My body started to move naturally as my sister taught me hundreds or thousands of times in my childhood.

“sister.”

I approached older sister Irene, took out a handkerchief, and patted her sweaty forehead and nape, stroking her hair with my fingers to tidy it up.

As if my sister was entrusting herself to my touch, she slightly raised her head and gently lowered her eyes.

“Yes… .”

After tidying up the disheveled appearance, I looked back at Syrel with my sister.

“What were you talking about?”

“I tried to make an appointment to meet the Grand Duke of the North through her, but… .”

I explained to my sister that the Archduke of the North had entered the Sky Tower and was absent, and that Syrel was living on the street.

Sister sent a pitying glance at Sirell.

“On the sidewalk? Unfortunately… .”

As expected, she looked like a kind-hearted older sister.

Seeing our brother and sister like that, Cheryl tilted her head and opened her mouth.

“The two of them are so close that they are suspicious. Are you Daddy’s cheating partner?”

“What, what?!”

Sister Irene trembled and screamed at Sirel.

“Me and Regid are the right relationship according to the order of nature!! Rather, the affair must be in your family!!”

My older sister was investigating the issue of marriage with the Northern Duke.

However, it seems that Syrel misunderstood the words as being addressed to herself.

The boy shook his head.

“not me.”

Cheryl came next to me and said with a shy face, slightly pulling her sleeve.

“My father and I are not having an affair. We are the idiots.”

“What, what are you talking about!!”

Sister Irene began scolding Syrel with her face dyed red.

‘I wonder why he’s so angry when he’s talking nonsense from a guy who can’t even pretend.’
