How the Psionic Prince Overcomes Reversal and Obsession

36 – Emperor and Prince (2)

“I will ask again. How many have you eaten now?”

“… … .”

He stared at the emperor without answering.

The emperor spoke to me like that.

“Like my thunderbolt, Irene’s shield, and Ekinne’s blade, each person has one psionic characteristic. But the four Legids are special.”

“… … .”

“The seed of infinite possibilities that goes beyond one’s limits and pioneers new territory as one experiences and internalizes many psionic waves… .”

Was that the reason why I asked if you ate? .

It’s not wrong if you look at the main stem, but… There’s no need for me to correct it.

I asked him like that.

“How do you know something you haven’t told anyone before?”

“I am also your father. There is no way you don’t know I have known of your special talent since childhood.”

Lie with a calm face… .

‘Can I dig up something more about Regid’s birth if I pursue it further?’

However, when I saw the emperor’s face and eyes, I could feel it intuitively.

‘I’ve already closed my heart.’

Still, there is no harvest.

‘At least he got the information that he knew about my multiple abilities from the beginning.’

In order to get information from each other, it can be seen as a situation in which each player opened a card and showed it.

“After hearing the news that you handled the tenfold buff leisurely today, I was convinced that you finally broke out of your shell and came out. ask again How many have you eaten?”

I frowned.

The emperor smiled at me like that.

“If the question bothers you, I will change it. How many abilities can you handle now?”

Here… .

“… … Telekinesis and Barrier, two of them.”

“There are still two.”

The emperor muttered softly with his eyes locked in thought.

“Still, it was rewarding to create opportunities for you and Irene from childhood.”

When I heard that, I couldn’t help but ask.

“your majesty. It sounds like you deliberately made my sister and me together… ?”

“It is true. It was for the purpose of verifying the hypothesis that we would start by copying psionic waves that we have experienced and are familiar with. Coincidentally, Irene was a perfect target for you.”

I had no choice but to frown and, of course, protest.

“No matter how embarrassing it may be, I can’t just pass those words away.”

“Well?”

The emperor tilted his head as if to say something.

“It is not because of Your Majesty’s invisible manipulation that my sister and I have spent so much time together since childhood.”

“… ?”

“It wasn’t because of Your Majesty, it was just a natural act of a sister who cares for her younger brother. Please don’t disparage sister Irene’s pure brotherly love with such words.”

“… … … … .”

Was my sharp point painful?

The emperor opened his mouth slightly, looked at me with blank eyes, and sighed heavily with a depressed face.

“Sigh… … . yes… . You’re right… . I’ll be like Irene too… The line… Because I didn’t know… .”

mumbling… .

The emperor put his hand on his forehead and began to mutter a small grumble.

“Originally, I was planning to end it by staying a little closer when I was younger, but… I hope he is like that… Whoa… .”

how to say

It is completely different from the image the emperor usually had.

It was an unexpected aspect of the deep anguish of a father with a daughter.

‘The emperor was also a father after all.’

On the one hand, I can’t help but click my tongue at his greed.

‘My sister must have grown perfectly. There are a lot of useless complaints… , tsk tsk… .’

Apparently, since he is the emperor of all people who rule the empire, he must have no choice but to demand strict standards even for his children.

After talking to himself as if grumbling for a while, the emperor lightly waved his hand to refresh the atmosphere.

“Anyway, the reason I secretly called you at such a late hour is to confirm the blooming of multiple abilities and to tell you to hurry up the development of talent in preparation for the emergence of a common class in the Sky Tower.”

“You mean the common class?”

“You may remember that there was a common class before the Sky Tower renewal. Things like the portal layer, for example.”

Sky Towers are scattered across 13 continents.

The appearance of each sky tower layer is the same, but on the other hand, they are all independent and separate areas.

There are times when the tiers of the 13 sky towers share a certain tier line and gather together.

That is the “common class”.

The emperor opened his mouth.

“As before the renewal, analysts’ forecasts have come out that there will be several common layers, including the portal layer, in this sky tower.”

That guess… That’s the answer.

‘If you go upstairs, there is not only a ‘portal level’ but also a ‘residential level’.’

The residential layer is a place where attackers from all 13 continents gather in one place, and it was a layer that could secure its own safe zone and nest through the sky tower system.

‘It’s originally a layer that serves as a shelter for attackers… .’

Depending on how it is used, it is a layer with infinite branches.

“This is why I want rapid supply and demand of talent through the academy. You, too, should understand its importance without having to say it.”

The common layer is the only layer shared by the 13 sky towers on the continent.

It was natural that the one who entered first and preoccupied as much as possible had an advantage.

‘Not only our empire, but other countries are all thinking the same.’

I nodded my head to such an emperor.

“I see what you mean. I pay more attention to the development of the cadets without overdoing it.”

I don’t want to be too hasty, but I still need to cater to the emperor and the empire that cuts down on my finances.

As if the emperor was passing by, he gave me one more instruction.

“And… You guys, Rigid, should spend some more personal time on raiding Sky Tower.”

what is this again

“If I, the prince, frequented the Sky Tower, wouldn’t there be resistance from people around me?”

Of course, I planned to go in whether I protested or not.

“I will try my hand at this side.”

“Why are you giving me instructions to attack the Sky Tower? ?”

“You must enter the sky tower.”

“… … .”

“… … .”

no, is that the end?

Even when I asked again with absurd eyes, the emperor only remained silent.

He gestured and gave the order to leave.

“The story is ideal. Let me go away.”

Squeak.

The Shadow Guard, who reappeared before I knew it, bowed down in front of the secret passage.

‘Is it until today… .’

Since it’s not an easy opponent, it’s impossible to ask everything at once.

This kind of work should be carefully dug step by step rather than hastily ruining the work out of impatience.

“then… .”

I bowed to the emperor and stepped into a secret passage.

The emperor’s voice came from behind me.

“Don’t reveal your multiple abilities yet. Before that, we need to work on this and that, so we will inform you of the timing of the release separately.”

It seemed that the emperor intended to make an announcement considering various political gains and losses.

“All right.”

That’s how the conversation of the day ended like that.

Regid’s ‘father’, Remedy Rock Kazidum, who was still awkward throughout the last episode and the current one.

But for some reason, I got a little closer… It was such a subtle illusion night.

* * *

After some time passed, the day of the academy entrance ceremony finally arrived.

On the podium, the Dark Elf dean Benita’s congratulatory speeches were in full swing for the new students.

“All of the cadets gathered here are excellent human resources, carrying heavy responsibilities on their shoulders—”

I looked at the new cadets gathered in the huge auditorium with emotion.

‘It looked like there were a lot of difficulties when I first planned it, but somehow I’ve come this far.’

All of them are excellent talents who were selected after overcoming the fierce competition in the entrance exam.

Many cadets were recruited, including not only combat-oriented departments, but also various academic fields related to sky towers.

Of course, all departments that required mana, such as combat or magic, were occupied by female students.

Male cadets were mostly forced to take positions in psionics and other academic fields.

Numerous female students who had gathered in the auditorium kept peeking at the group of male students standing separately on one side.

The men flinched with uncomfortable faces at that blatant gaze.

It was like a sheep thrown into a wolf pen.

‘Looking at the appearance, I’ll have to pay a lot of attention to managing the cadets.’

Shortly after dean Benita’s speech, it was the turn of the freshman representative to deliver a congratulatory speech.

“Next, there will be an oath from the freshman representative, Princess Ekinne Kazidum.”

Ekinne, who was among the cadets, went up to the podium with a confident face.

Sister Irene, who saw that, leaned her shoulder on me and whispered in my ear.

“To see Ekinne sitting side by side with Regid like this… … It’s like attending a child’s entrance ceremony… , It feels like a couple. Is not it?”

“hahahaha.”

Then, will Ekinne become my sister and my daughter? It is a fresh and interesting point of view.

Sister Irene whispered endlessly in my ear.

“Because it feels like rehearsal—”

My sister kept talking so much that Echinne’s oath was over before I knew it.

“Next, there will be a special congratulatory speech from Prince Legid, who has put a lot of effort into today’s event.”

I got up from the VIP seat and walked towards the podium.

I stood in my seat and looked around at the numerous cadets standing in line.

Eagle Eagle… .

The eyes of the female students staring at me were burning hot.

‘It’s nice to see him overflowing with enthusiasm.’

One of the things I have been planning after returning is the moment when I finally take the first step.

‘There’s still a lot of work to be done in the future.’

From managing the academy to attacking the tower, we had to educate the talented people in front of us to prevent the destruction of this world.

Don’t be in a hurry and proceed step by step as planned.

I spoke the first words to the cadets in front of me.

“nice to meet. I-.”
