How the Psionic Prince Overcomes Reversal and Obsession

9 – Noble Sacrifice

“If you need this humble body, I am willing to give it to you.”

The imperial princess——no, it was a bombshell thrown by the prince.

The conference hall was still agitated in shock.

‘I think it’s more effective than I thought… ?’

This was especially true of the Cardinal of the Goddess Order.

“Ahh… How noble… .”

‘Why are you overreacting?’

First of all, he considered the political value of his status as a prince to be a useful hand.

But people’s reaction is similar to what I thought, but it feels different.

‘Well anyway, good is good.’

The world will be ruined in a few years anyway, so what’s the point of saving it?

‘I’ll just live and see.’

It’s not too late to think about the aftermath after saving the world first.

“… … .”

“… … .”

The emperor and I gazed at each other like that, then continued our conversation.

“However, the great task that the prince of the empire is preparing to sacrifice himself for… . Please at least promise full support worthy of that rank.”

“Full support?”

The emperor smiled intriguedly.

From now on, we both knew that this was the main topic.

“Your Majesty just pointed out the practical issue of the budget. When it comes to that, some good alternatives exist.”

“Hmm?”

The emperor tilted his head.

“Isn’t there an academy facility and management personnel run by the Empire? This will allow us to manage talent in that age group at minimal cost.”

The other ministers who were listening to our conversation began to whisper among themselves and discuss the feasibility of it.

“Academy… Certainly, the facilities and manpower are already prepared, so it wouldn’t be bad as a basis for managing talented people of that age… .”

“No, but what about the existing students? There will be a lot of confusion… .”

“Whether the academy facilities are allocated or segregated, that way… .”

“The faculty… .”

“The dormitory issue is also… .”

Once the topic of academy was raised, detailed discussions began regardless of whether or not it would be realized.

‘yes. Even this is enough.’

At least the first step was taken.

Just bringing new perspectives and solutions to their minds has accomplished more than half of the purpose of being here today.

‘All that’s left is… .’

“… … .”

The emperor rested his chin and gazed at the scene of the conference hall with pensive eyes.

Tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk… .

The emperor began tapping the armrests of his chair with his fingers.

The turmoil in the meeting room naturally subsided and everyone watched the emperor’s mouth.

“The idea itself is not bad. However, the prince of the empire, and the so-called continental history in the world, cannot be consumed in such a one-time manner. … Finance Minister.”

“Yes, four!”

The middle-aged Minister of Finance answered quickly, sweating profusely.

“How much money do you think can be saved if some of the originally planned policies to attract token holders are replaced with a product called the imperial prince?”

The Minister of Finance looked at the emperor and me with a bewildered face.

“Ah, Your Highness the Prince? that, it… ”

“It’s good at least, so tell me quickly.”

“That is… … at least 10… Ah, no, I wonder if 20% can be replaced… , Depending on how you use it, you may be able to drastically reduce even three percent… .”

The emperor smiled contentedly.

“Hey, it’s not bad. Didn’t the oracle of the goddess say to save the world? Then, are you saying that among the holders of the token, someone who will save the world can come out?”

Seeing the emperor’s gaze, the Cardinal of the Goddess Church bowed her head and agreed.

“If we want to embrace such a person… … At least a Continental Civilization and a Prince should be treated as products to be worthy of the status of an empire.”

Quaang!

Sister Irene shouted as she jumped out of the meeting room and stood up.

“your majesty!! Regid is the one and only prince of the Empire!! How can you decide to marry so hastily!!”

The emperor shook his head as he looked down at his older sister with a face filled with spirit.

It was a bonus to send pathetic eyes as if you were thinking clearly.

“The prince’s marriage hasn’t even been decided yet, so why is the princess in such a commotion?”

“Hao!!”

It’s the first time I’ve ever seen my sister, who was usually gentle, make such a furious expression.

Is it really heartbreaking to see your little brother sold to someone you don’t even know his name?

I was moved by the warm brother-sister bond I felt from her.

Throwing away whatever Sister Irene was talking about, the emperor instructed me in my direction.

“As for the academy, you suggested it first, so let’s post a proposal somewhere. If your opinion makes sense and is valid, I will promise full support by joining you on the Academy Board of Directors.”

It was a promise that I would give one thing in return, instead of risking my body.

Even though the Emperor’s words and actions may appear to be rapid and unstoppable, he was well aware of the principles of politics and trade.

It was a consistent principle that was always followed even if the opponent was a child.

The emperor, who ruled over a huge empire, once again deeply felt that he could not be said to have only power.

“Thank you, Your Majesty. I’ll do my best.”

“hahahaha… Well, how about… .”

The emperor smiled and waved his hand lightly.

It meant the story was over.

I sat down and analyzed the day’s work.

‘The income is higher than originally planned.’

It can be said that the most important bridgehead for preparing for the future has been prepared.

Once our empire started moving first, other countries would not be able to just watch, so they would unconditionally follow.

‘Our empire doesn’t have to eat everything.’

No matter who it is, if you just save the world, wouldn’t it be great?

but… … I am here now

I, who has the experience and knowledge of the previous rounds, and who has the status of an imperial prince who can provide full support from the beginning.

I will attract talented people as much as possible, support them as much as possible with my experience and knowledge, and climb the tower together.

Unlike the previous rounds, you will be able to advance in an advantageous position from the start.

‘If there is one concern… .’

To be honest, I offered myself as a prize, but I’m worried about how many people will come to the Empire.

‘Wouldn’t it be nice to add something else like wealth and title?’

If you’ve done this and still don’t get much response… … That would be pretty embarrassing as it is.

[Prince Regid of the Kazidum Empire, sacrifices himself for the oracle of the goddess-!]

[Extra!]

[Prince Regid, a man of continental history! Goddess will… A noble sacrifice for the world… ]

[Comprehensive 2 steps]

[Announcement of policy vision related to Kazidum Empire and Goddess Trust (temporary)]

The oracle of the Goddess Church that came down after 300 years.

While countries are busy preparing countermeasures against it, surprising news broke out in the Kazidum Empire this afternoon.

As an incentive for the so-called certificate holders who will appear in the future, the famous Prince Regid was offered as a reward.

In detail, in addition to various titles, territories, offices, and wealth, if we succeed in saving the world, we promise to marry Prince Regid, the prince of the empire and a leading figure in continental history—

… syncopation…

Regarding this, Prince Regid said,

“The resolution is made. I don’t know who it will be, but if it’s the one who saved the world, I’m willing to entrust this body. It would rather be an honor for the prince to welcome such a person as his companion—”

Regarding the question of whether anyone would care as long as the conditions were fulfilled,

“There is but one condition. Prince Bon had no intention of sharing his life with someone weaker than himself. At the same time as saving the world, Prince Bon should also be defeated.”

He also added,

“It would be a big mistake to think that rogues with a bad mind and body can easily defeat and take the prince. This prince won’t be easy.”

… syncopation…

Regarding this series of announcements, an anonymous official from the Imperial Academy said,

“I have nothing to say yet. (If His Majesty gives his consent), His Highness Prince Regid will directly join the Academy Board of Directors soon, so it won’t be too late to start serious discussions from then on.”

He maintained a cautious attitude.

… syncopation…

Depending on the point of view, the unprecedented policy vision in which the prince of the imperial family will ‘directly manage and nurture candidates for his future marriage’ is expected to be opposed by some members of the royal family and some aristocrats who were secretly seeking a marriage of convenience…

… syncopation…

Meanwhile, until now, the Imperial Academy has announced the specific recruitment schedule for the next year through an annual announcement in the fourth quarter.

As is customary, the announcement date, which will be about a month from today, is expected to draw keen attention from all walks of life on the continent.
