chapter 3
3 – escort knights and scandals are prohibited
I held Equinne and preached for a while.
“What is light? Focus on this part, Equinne. With unshakable mental strength—”
“… … .”
Ekinne, who had stopped moving, glared at my face with a cold gaze in her arms.
His face is flushed with fever, as if he was resentful of being subdued by a ‘weak man’.
‘It makes me angry.’
There are many such stereotypes because it is an age of gender reversal.
At that time, little maid Nia hurriedly waved her notebook and said,
“Wow, Prince. The time for the fairy newspaper interview is coming soon… You know, it’s not good to upset the fairies!”
On Nia’s face, it was clear that she had an urgent intention to sort out the situation under any pretext.
‘Actually, it’s not wrong.’
If you hurt the fairy reporter’s heart, you might write a malicious article.
Swoop. I stopped releasing Equinne from my arms.
Tadadat!
Like a flying squirrel running away, he jumped back and glared at me.
“This brother is busy with work, so he must stop going. The unfinished story will come back later—”
“I’m annoyed, can you shut up?”
“… … .”
I nodded lightly as if I understood.
I didn’t even expect to be full on the first drink in the first place.
“Then, I will visit your villa sometime soon.”
Leaving behind Echinne’s sharp gaze, I crossed paths with him and walked away.
* * *
Ekinne looked at Regid’s back as he walked away.
She bit her lip as she looked back at the clash of two psionic energies that had just occurred.
‘How on earth did the output increase like that?’
I must have checked periodically… .
‘Could it be that I have overcome the wall that has been blocking my growth?’
Equinne forced himself to take a deep breath to calm his heated face.
“Whoa, whoa, whoa… .”
The noble imperial family must maintain a cool mind and dignity at all times.
However, when he recalled the scene from a while ago, the heat rose to his face.
Equine took another deep breath to calm her excitement.
“Whoa, whoa, whoa… .”
After so long… .
Her complexion finally regained its usual cold and sharp air.
Ekinne opened her mouth as she stared at Regid, who was moving away.
“shallot. What happened to the previous orders concerning him?”
Her confidant Charlotte, who had been silently waiting behind Equinne’s back until now, came forward.
It was an aristocratic lady with her red hair twisted into a bun and trimmed pretty like a bun.
“It went well. Of the candidates to participate in Prince Regid’s~ escort knight selection ceremony tomorrow~, we have already recruited more than half~ to our side~.”
Ekinne, who was listening to her confidant Charlotte’s answer, suddenly frowned.
“yes. that was good But what can I do with that languid tone? I would have kept telling you to change it moderately.”
“Sorry~. It’s a habit since I was little.”
“Sigh… .”
Ekinne sighed lightly.
Charlotte, her confidant, satisfied most of Ekinne’s demanding conditions, but there was only one problem with that tone.
However, because of that, there was no suitable replacement manpower to stay away from.
Echinne continued to ask Charlotte with a half-given face.
“What happened to that rumor?”
Some time ago, it was rumored that some high-ranking nobles had secretly contacted the Emperor to discuss the matter of marrying Regid.
“It is true that there was contact once.”
“Even though I was born in heaven, I was born with that appearance for nothing… .”
“I agree with you a thousand times.”
Charlotte, who was next to her, agreed and stared at the back of Regid, who was disappearing in the distance, as if possessed.
Ekinne frowned at the confidant.
He blunted the psionic blade and smashed it into Charlotte’s head.
Fuck!
“Ah!”
Psionic energy is the exclusive property of some Awoken men.
However, Ekinne, now a woman, was also being treated as naturally as breathing.
Imperial lineage was a special reason.
‘This chosen power… . Also I am special. The Emperor’s vessel to rule the foolish illagers—.’
Ekinne, whose paternal line was the imperial family and her maternal line was a high-ranking aristocrat, had a strong sense of pride in her lineage and a chosen people.
As she was, Regid, a natural born with an opaque maternal line, felt like a thorn in her eyes.
“It’s annoying.”
Due to the special lineage of the empire, males can also succeed to the throne.
Even the present emperor was also a man.
Comprehensive abilities may be superior to women.
However, males have characteristics that are more advantageous in preserving and managing the imperial lineage in view of their offspring.
That’s why Ekinne didn’t stop checking Regidra, who didn’t have much power.
‘It would be nice to have a guy like that get married somewhere far away and sell it quickly.’
Currently, it was Regid that was widely rumored throughout the continent for its outstanding appearance.
I’m sure foreign royals would line up to bring all kinds of gold and silver treasures as a dowry and want to get married.
‘Should I really try to secretly promote it?’
In the end, it is the marriage of the man in the family that is decided by the woman’s breath.
The final decision would be made by the emperor, but since she was also a member of the imperial family, she had enough justification to intervene in the marriage issue of Regid, her brother and sister.
Make sure to read from noble mtl . com
‘for a moment. Then I saw it… .’
Ekinne’s thoughts reached far away, in the northern region.
It reminded me of the Northern Grand Duke of the Empire, a barrier that blocks monsters from coming down south in search of food in the barren snowfield.
‘Now the Grand Duke of the North is single… ?’
A snowfield elf, she has lived with only a sword as her lifelong companion.
In the empire, she was often referred to as the Grand Duke of the North, the Sword Maiden.
‘Isn’t that bad enough?’
Although it has its own honor and dignity, it is an environment located in the barren northern part far from the center of the empire.
Isn’t it a perfect place to marry her brother as if exiled?
‘Besides, he has a child with him?’
I laughed involuntarily at the thought of my annoyed older brother’s bewilderment.
“Cook cook… .”
She walked away, lost in thought.
‘Wait a little bit. Because I will marry my brother to a very-ju- cool place. Cook Cook Cook… .’
If she knew that she would marry the Grand Duke of the North, who had a child in the barren North, she would surely cry.
‘Maybe they cling to me and beg me that I was wrong… ?’
Imagining the scene, Ekinne’s steps became light as if flying.
* * *
I arrived at the reception room on one side of the imperial palace for an interview with the newspaper.
In the spacious reception room, palm-sized fairies flapping their tiny wings were roaming around, bobbing in the air.
“Ah~ It’s boring~🎵 When is Prince Regid coming back~ Ah! come! Hello!🎉”
A little fairy with a reporter’s armband on her arm saw my face and flew away with delight.
“I am Nyanatti Fairy Reporter of Continental Fairy Daily!🌟”
“Nice to meet you, Reporter Nyanyati.”
A long time ago, there was an agreement between the Fairy Queen and the representatives of humanity.
As a result, the Fairy clan succeeded in obtaining a neutral and stable position independent of human power.
Their characteristics played a significant role in occupying the media world, such as newspapers, magazines, and publications, which did not pay much attention to human power.
‘Nia.’
Receiving my glance, little attendant Nia pulled out a candy from her bosom.
He carefully held it out to Nyanatti Fairy Reporter.
“Fairy, this is weak, but… .”
“Wow! This! This! Avocado🥑 candy exclusively for the imperial family!”
For me, who cares about reputation, there is nothing good about arguing with the press.
If you can buy a fairy’s favor with just one piece of candy, it’s cheap.
Well well.
The fairy put the candy in her mouth like a squirrel and mumbled it, and then a stream of saliva flowed from the corner of her mouth and said.
“It’s okay to eat… .”
After a while, I sat in the prepared seat and the real interview began.
Today’s interview is scheduled to be published in the morning newspaper tomorrow.
‘According to the previous episode, it’s been a few years since I’ve had an interview.’
You should answer carefully and carefully until your senses return.
Shasha shak!
A reporter (who was a human) belonging to Fairy Newspaper, who was quietly waiting in the corner, appeared.
He hung the drawing board around his neck and quickly began sketching the scene for my interview.
A picture drawn like this will be published together in the newspaper.
The fairy reporter began to circle around me with a small notebook and writing instrument.
“ruler! Let’s start the interview!

[💐 Continental History Special]
Readers who are interested in social circles must have heard about the continental history that has been buzzing in the world recently.
It started with the debate, ‘Who is the most handsome man on the continent?’
Despite the fierce debate, the answer to who is the most handsome man on the continent is still divided.
Still, there was something that most women agreed on.
It is the fact that if the continent’s most handsome man, that is, the continent’s first flower, is born, it will be among these four men.
That is how the name “Daeilsahwa (大陸四花)” was born.
Now, the ambitious special project of Continental Fairy Daily that has been going on since last month!
Today, at this time, Jeong Shim-hwa of Dainyangsahwa, who is famous for her outstanding figure and calm yet calm mind.
I’m going to have an interview with Prince Regid of the Kazidum Empire.
⊠
[▲Portrait of Prince Regid (made by an on-site reporter): This is the image of Prince Regid answering the reporter’s questions with a graceful attitude.]
As most of you already know, Prince Regid is the eldest son of two daughters and one son of the emperor of the Kazidum Empire, and is also the only prince in the current imperial family.
The face that represents the Kazidum Imperial Family, which shakes the hearts of knights of many empires with its astonishing appearance and calm and gentle mind.
Some of the people who received the real thing were the pride of the luxury men of the Kazidum Empire who did not hesitate to raise their thumbs, saying that the real continent was the best, and that the most handsome man on the continent was only Prince Regid.
I hope that this time today will be an opportunity to satisfy at least some of the curiosity I have had about Prince Regid.
The following is a Q&A with Prince Regid.
————————-
Fairy Reporter: Nice to meet you, Prince!🎉
Prince Regid: Nice to meet you too, Nyanatti Fairy Reporter.
Fairy Reporter: First of all, what is your name, age, and body size?
Regid Prince: The name of this prince is Regid Kazidum. As you know, he is the only prince of the current Kazidum Empire, and his age has just passed his birthday and has just turned 2X years old. And… … In addition, please understand that the physical information of the imperial family cannot be disclosed without permission.
Fairy Reporter: Oh, you’re not fishing~💦
Prince Regid: For asking such a question to the imperial family, if it weren’t for your special position as a fairy, you would have been greatly astonished.
Fairy Reporter: Hee hee!
Prince Regid: A fuss?
Fairy Correspondent: Didn’t a dispute arose over who performed the prince’s ‘first dance’ at a birthday party not too long ago, and it turned into a duel between noble ladies? Are you thinking you didn’t know~?!💨
Regid Prince: … … … … was that the case Of course I know.
(Fairy Reporter Note💬: At this point, the face of Prince Regid flashed an expression that he had completely forgotten.)
(Fairy Reporter Note💬: His calm appearance, which inadvertently forgot the duel between aristocratic women that had occurred because of him, was indeed a man of natural demonic character—it was not lacking in his reputation as a continental history.)
Prince Regid: Of course forget… didn’t Even if it was unintentional, he was deeply sorry for the things that happened because of Prince Bon.
… syncopation…
Fairy Reporter: I would also like to ask about the selection ceremony for dedicated escort knights that will be held tomorrow.
Prince Regid: What are you curious about?
Fairy Reporter: I heard that the competition💥 is very fierce even among female knights in the imperial family!
Prince Regid: Thank you. I am grateful for their enthusiasm.
Fairy Reporter: Could you give me a tip on how tomorrow’s test📃 will be held?
Ragged Prince: Tomorrow’s test will mainly evaluate how well you can handle the prince’s psionic buff.
Fairy Reporter: You mean to see how well you can borrow and use the prince’s psionic abilities through buffs?🔎
Prince Regid: Probably because women aren’t used to dealing with it. Your own escort shouldn’t be like that.
Fairy Reporter: Since each person has one psionic characteristic, I think we should pick someone who has a good match with the prince’s abilities.
Regid Prince: … … … yes you can see Just as his sister possesses the psionic barrier characteristic, Prince Bon possesses the characteristic of telekinesis. I plan to select a knight who can make good use of that buff.
Fairy Reporter: Hmm~hmm~. ruler! Did all the royal court ladies who will be watching this interview read it well~?! Good luck 🎊 everyone!
Prince Regid: I wish them luck too.
Fairy Reporter: Oh, by the way, can I ask you a favor before I finish!🌟
Prince Regid: What is it?
Fairy Reporter: Please, on behalf of countless women on the continent who long for the prince! Never, no matter what! never! Promise me you won’t burst into a scandal with the escort knight💌!
Prince Regid: It can’t be, isn’t it? don’t worry

A faintly dawning dawn.
Feria, a knight belonging to the 3rd Imperial Knights, prepared breakfast early in the morning.
Squeak… . I got out of bed and lightly groomed myself.
Standing in front of the mirror, she brushed her glossy black hair lightly with a comb.
She then braided her hair, twisted it back up, and secured it with tongs and pins.
‘Today’s escort knight selection test… It must be quite formidable.’
It is the position of the dedicated escort knight for the famous Prince Regid.
Truly, all the female knights in the imperial palace coveted it.
‘But what I’m aiming for with those people is different.’
Unlike the others, Feria didn’t care about Prince Regid.
‘If you become a dedicated escort knight, your salary will definitely increase. If that happens, the cost of my sister’s medicine… .’
To her, the rumors about Prince Regid are honestly annoying.
‘Continental Civilization? The most handsome man on the continent? foot. If he’s handsome, how handsome.’
She had never seen Prince Regid up close.
It was all I saw passing by from a distance, and even that was not a few times.
In the first place, since Prince Regid had spent most of his time confined to the villa, there was little to see.
‘A portrait in a newspaper? That’s fake.’
After all, it was a picture drawn by a person.
It is common for aristocrats to give portrait painters a hefty sum of money so that they paint more beautified than they really are.
‘It must be an external propaganda conducted by the imperial family anyway.’
It was a disrespectful thought for a knight of the imperial family, but her heart was like that anyway.
To her, a higher salary and the cost of her sister’s medicine were more important than a man like that.
‘Anyway, these are exaggerated rumors.’
