How the Psionic Prince Overcomes Reversal and Obsession

8 – If you want to marry me, save the world first (2)

The state affairs meeting discussed trivial internal matters of the empire.

And again, it proceeded in the order of gradually expanding to issues encompassing the periphery of the empire, neighboring countries, and the continent.

I refrained from speaking and watched the scene patiently.

‘It was a scene far from me in the previous episode.’

I did participate a few times back then.

However, he soon lost his curiosity and turned his steps away.

It was from the thought that I could play and eat even if I didn’t work anyway, so why immerse my feet in troublesome work.

In addition, it was also a big reason why it was not easy to adapt to the world of gender reversal at the time.

I was worried that there would be an accident if I came forward, so I just chose to stay calm.

And the crown princess, Irene, completely approved of and supported my choice.

—“Regid doesn’t have to worry about making his head hurt. Because this sister will take care of everything.”

—“There is no need to worry about troublesome things outside the imperial palace. It’s enough just to think of living comfortably and affluently here in the imperial palace and living happily together with this sister for the rest of your life.”

Having grown up as an orphan in a world before being possessed, I learned deeply about what true brother and sister bond is through the warm care of such an older sister… .

That’s why I felt even more sorry for my younger sister, Ekinne, whom I didn’t get along with.

‘I should give Ekinne the ‘same brother and sister bond’ that I received from my older sister… .’

Of course, that wasn’t easy in the last episode.

‘Because I also had a lot of hard work in many ways.’

But in this episode, besides preventing the end of the world, one of my personal goals was to have all three of us get along in harmony.

‘It must be achieved unconditionally.’

Some of the friction with Equinne in the process was only minor.

‘Wouldn’t everyone be happy if the results were good anyway?’

I will definitely make it like that for the sake of harmony between the three siblings.

In the meantime, the meeting continued.

“Next, regarding the appointment of the governor of Mabel Kingdom——”

Be patient and wait for your turn to come.

how long has it been like that Finally, the agenda I had been waiting for appeared.

“The following is the recently descended oracle of the Goddess Church and the matter related to the Sky Tower mentioned in it.”

buzz buzz.

“It’s an oracle… .”

“Isn’t it 300 years old?”

“If it was 300 years ago, surely… .”

The substitutes whispered.

300 years ago, after the sky tower shone for seven days and nights, the nature of mana that had spread throughout the world changed and became the cause of the current age of gender reversal.

That’s why I couldn’t help but be nervous about the oracle in a few hundred years.

The minister pointed to one side of the conference hall and introduced it.

“We have invited Cardinal Marilyn from the Goddess Order as an important reference for the Goddess’ Oracle.”

A young woman with blue-silver hair in a pure white robe stood up in the eyes of the audience.

She, Cardinal Marilyn, first bowed to the Emperor and then slowly opened her mouth towards the meeting room.

It was a clear and beautiful voice, befitting a priest who followed God’s will.

“Not long ago, His Holiness the Pope received an oracle during dawn prayer. At that time, a rainbow appeared in the sky at the headquarters of the Church, and the contents of the oracle were heard by not only the Holy Father but also the priests who served there——”

─Soon we will enter the fork in the road that separates the opening and closing of the world.

—Those who have received the Sky Tower badge

─Overcome the trials and climb to the top to save the world

“Mmm!”

“This, this… !”

People’s complexions hardened at once at the words that seemed trivial even if they pretended to be trials or salvation.

“That is all.”

One of the ministers asked Cardinal Marilyn.

“Salvation? from what? I need an explanation.”

Cardinal Marilyn shook her head.

“I don’t know as of now”

“Then what is an ordeal?”

“If you infer from the words ‘mark of the sky tower’ and ‘normal’, it probably has something to do with attacking the sky tower… .”

Instead, he touched his forehead.

“Is it a spinning tower?”

“I can’t imagine mana running again like 300 years ago… .”

buzz buzz.

Sister Irene, the crown princess, calmed the crowd.

“Now, rather than trembling in unknown anxiety, the priority is to discuss what to prepare for the future.”

Sister Irene gestured to one of the bureaucrats.

The designated official turned over the materials in his hand and began announcing what he had investigated.

“Currently, various countries and powers on the continent are focusing on the phrase ‘those who have received the token of the Sky Tower’ among the oracles. We see that whether or not to overcome the ordeal depends on these hands.”

I nodded slightly.

‘That’s the correct answer.’

The bureaucrats whispered and exchanged small opinions with the person next to them.

“Hmm. I’m sure there’s a point… ”

“But you still don’t know who it might be.”

Reports continued.

“Therefore, they are expected to develop various incentive policies in advance and announce them sooner or later in order to secure ‘certificate holders’ who are expected to appear in the future.”

“indeed… . If so, our empire cannot stand still.”

“I have no choice but to attract those ‘mark holders’ as much as possible by promising titles, offices, wealth, or other things.”

Ministers began to come up with various opinions to entice soon-to-be ‘mark holders’ based on the trust.

I shook my head lightly as I watched their conversation.

‘The overall direction itself is correct. But… .’

In their discussion now, there was one overlooked part.

I raised my hand and asked for a say.

Sister Irene pointed out that kind of me.

“… ? Prince Regid, do you have something to say?”

The crowd became quiet and all focused their attention in my direction.

I, who usually don’t show myself well in this kind of place, asked for the right to speak, and my eyes were curious.

“… … .”

Taking a quick look, the emperor also seemed to be surprised.

He rests his chin on one of the armrests and throws his eyes at me.

I first bowed to the emperor and then opened my mouth toward the conference hall.

“While seeing and learning a lot from your discussions regarding trusts, I have no way to avoid asking one question, so I would like to ask without shame.”

Sister Irene tilted her head and said.

“What is it? Regid Prince.”

“Why are all the incentives and management policies of the ‘certificate holders’ you want to attract in the future limited to ‘adequately mature adults’?”

“What… ah.”

“Now, wait a minute… !”

“No, but… .”

buzz buzz.

The conference hall became noisy like a market floor.

It was then.

“stop.”

Make sure to read from noble mtl . com

Kung-.

All movement in the meeting room stopped in an instant at that word that resonated low from the seat of honor.

Woo woo woo-. The naturally flowing psionic waves swept across the conference hall, giving people chilly goosebumps on their skin.

‘Emperor… .’

The emperor, who had been sitting there bored and not saying anything until now, finally spoke his first words.

He put his hand on his chin and looked down at me obliquely, holding on to a faint sneer.

“Regid, what do you mean by saying that the holder of the badge could be a child or a teenager?”

“Similar. Among them, pay attention to young talents who have just become adults or are on the verge of becoming adults, and prepare in advance… .”

“Then what if the baby shows signs?”

“… … ”

“Middle-aged? And what about the elderly? Are you going to insist on preparing for each and every one of them?”

“… … .”

… … … It is a theory.

The reason I can claim to pay attention to young talent is because there are many talents like jewels that will determine the fate of the world around them.

‘Those who have already completed it will do well on their own anyway.’

Rather than them, we had to intensively support the talents that would bloom in the future to expand the talent pool and prepare for the future.

Among them, there are sure to be many talents like gems that I missed in the previous episode, and which have unfortunately disappeared.

‘However, the emperor’s words are just the right words at this point.’

In the end, there was no clear reason right away.

But if you back down here, you won’t be able to eat or die.

‘When you step back, you have to come out with at least one thing in your hand… .’

I opened my mouth to the emperor again.

“But I don’t think it would be too much of a stretch to make some preparations for young talented people who have just become adults who haven’t bloomed yet—”

“Anyone can come up with a plausible plan. Until I got hit with the Imperial Treasury’s Budget Audit Club myself, heck heck!”

At the words of the emperor, the middle-aged woman who was the Minister of Finance burst into a cold sweat and laughed together.

“like… Ho Ho… .”

It was the appearance of a hard-working office worker who had no choice but to laugh at an emperor-style joke.

“or not? As you said, did you think you would sell your body to raise that huge budget to bring them together?”

It was too much of an abusive thing to say to a child.

However, if it came from the mouth of the emperor, it should not be interpreted literally.

You have to dig into the meaning of the double triple and think again.

The emperor continued to speak as if passing by with eyes that did not know what he was thinking.

“Come to think of it, such proposals have recently come from the royal family of some neighboring countries. While presenting the dowry accumulated like a mountain, he begged to take you with him, so I told him to put it away for now… .”

bang!!

The crown princess, Irene, hit the table and jumped up.

“your majesty!! How can you say such a thing so easily!!”

It’s the first time I’ve seen my sister so agitated and angry.

Thank you for caring about me, but… .

I smiled and replied to the emperor.

“Not bad.”

My sister looked at me with a surprised face.

“Legid?!”

She let go of that gaze and continued to speak to the emperor in a calm voice.

“How can you plan something big without that level of resolution? That Prince Regid, if you need this insignificant body to serve the will of the goddess, I will gladly offer it to you.”

You could call it a bombshell.

Everyone in the conference room was talking with shocked faces and panicked voices.

“Ji, what is His Highness the prince saying… ?”

“Now, did I hear that wrong?”

“Oh, no… How… !”

“I can’t do that!! What kind of person is His Highness our prince!!”

At that time, a sigh erupted from the Cardinal of the Goddess Order, who was on one side.

“Ahh… !“

It was a world of gender reversal.

In front of my eyes, the princess of the empire… … No, the prince is about to sacrifice his body to honor the oracle of the goddess.

To her, the cardinal, the me in front of her is like the saint in the story… … No, it might look like a saint.

Cardinal Marilyn, clad in a pure white robe, shook her whole body as she held her hands together.

She had dark blue hair and stared at me with a flushed face.

“Ahh… ! No matter how… beautiful and noble… .”

But for some reason, her reaction seems more intense than I expected.

‘what… ? Your eyes are a little creepy… .’

I’m probably mistaken.

Since she was a faithful priest, that look in her eyes must have been an illusion.
