Chapter 10: Council of Elders Meeting

He didn’t like wearing uncomfortable clothes, keeping formalities while greeting, and being forced to dance again and again with people he didn’t want to.

And now that he had returned to the past, he had one more reason.

“I don’t like that outfit.”

Yuri had disliked balls for a long time.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 10: Council of Elders Meeting by Indra Translations.

“Did I say that?”

“You sneered at it the moment you saw it, but since you didn’t say anything cruel or slash it with a sword, I knew you actually liked it deep down.”

“Why not? abstract You used to like it.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 10: Council of Elders Meeting by Indra Translations.

Ena knew Yuri far too well. action Or more precisely, she knew his past self very well.

“In any case, I don’t like it.”

“…”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 10: Council of Elders Meeting by Indra Translations.

“I think it’s pretty.”

“Yes.”

After so many years as a mercenary, Yuri’s sense of aesthetics had changed a lot. palette That’s why the overly decorative ceremonial uniform, made purely for appearances, seemed detestable to him.

“Should I call the tailor again?”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 10: Council of Elders Meeting by Indra Translations.

“There you go again with your cruel comments.”

“And besides, Prince, you’re a good dancer.”

“Not really. harbor It’s just that everyone else is worse.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 10: Council of Elders Meeting by Indra Translations.

Yuri accepted his fault without resistance.

“I know.”

Ever since returning to his childhood, old habits from the past kept dragging him down.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 10: Council of Elders Meeting by Indra Translations.

“Thanks for pointing it out.”

“It’s nothing.”

He couldn’t let that continue. acquire He hadn’t come back to live as before, but to stop the Empire’s invasion.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 10: Council of Elders Meeting by Indra Translations.

“No, not that.”

“Can’t I slap you like before?”

“If I start saying hurtful things again, keep correcting me.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 10: Council of Elders Meeting by Indra Translations.

“Prince.”

“Mm?”

Ena’s slaps hurt.

“Remember you have to attend the Council of Elders’ meeting today?”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 10: Council of Elders Meeting by Indra Translations.

“The weather’s nice today.”

Ena opened the curtains and smiled at Yuri.

“I know.”

But Yuri hadn’t been able to protect her.

Ena’s face, bathed in sunlight, shone brightly. alert Her gently curved eyes were pleasant to see.

“After the meeting, don’t just stay training. airport You could go out for a walk, for instance.”

“Yes?”

He remembered hearing her talk with the other maids. sphere Like any girl, Ena also dreamed of wearing a beautiful dress and dancing with an elegant partner at a royal ball.

“Eh?”

Ena’s eyes widened.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 10: Council of Elders Meeting by Indra Translations.

“I want to practice dancing a little.”

He wanted to punch his past self for having sneered at that dream.

In this life, he would never treat her that way again.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 10: Council of Elders Meeting by Indra Translations.

“D-Do we have to…?”

“What’s with that face?”

Yuri said with a gentle smile. atlas But her reaction wasn’t what he expected.

She looked genuinely uncomfortable.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 10: Council of Elders Meeting by Indra Translations.

He had made many mistakes.

“Uugh…”

Yuri felt a little hurt. portal He was offering goodwill, and she reacted like that?

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 10: Council of Elders Meeting by Indra Translations.

“What are you talking about?”

“You’re not going to step on my feet, are you…?”

Ena approached cautiously, still suspicious.

“Or make me trip…?”

“Are you misunderstanding my intentions?”

“Just follow me. portal Slowly.”

“Actually, it’s the opposite…”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 10: Council of Elders Meeting by Indra Translations.

“Really? echo Danced a lot?”

“Prince. avalanche Are you underestimating me? adjust I’m a good dancer.”

“Of course.”

“Not bad, huh?”

“Believe it or not, I’m popular. alien Though this is the first time I’ve danced with someone so short.”

“I lost count. apron I’ve been asked to dance so many times…”

“With who?”

Ena danced surprisingly well. Visit indratranslations.com for more free chapters and updates. audit Maybe not fit for banquets, but at least he could dance with her like this from time to time.

He was shorter than her now, but soon he would grow and look down from above.

“You’ll see.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 10: Council of Elders Meeting by Indra Translations.

“Sorry. aspect Bad step.”

“You did it again…”

“You stepped on my foot.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 10: Council of Elders Meeting by Indra Translations.

“No.”

***

The greasy voice that replied made Yuri frown.

“It was an accident.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 10: Council of Elders Meeting by Indra Translations.

“An unverified method? anxiety It was left by the Founder.”

“It is not right to learn a mana method that hasn’t been verified. orbit Your Highness should learn the royal family’s method.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 10: Council of Elders Meeting by Indra Translations.

“Are you doubting my word?”

“It’s not certain. adjust It’s not even clear whether it really came from the Founder.”

“What I’m saying is that we should confirm it. beacon Besides, even if it was left by the Founder, is there any guarantee it’s better than Briol’s method?”

“You’re being very disrespectful.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 10: Council of Elders Meeting by Indra Translations.

Yuri sighed and looked toward the main seat. abstract The throne of the King of Briol, Fiore, was empty. amateur He had claimed, with a ridiculous excuse, that he was busy with state affairs.

Duke Ujes, Genard Jetteri, who had opposed from the start, smiled mockingly.

“What was the purpose of this meeting?”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 10: Council of Elders Meeting by Indra Translations.

Composed of influential nobles, it was supposedly intended to advise the king in governing the kingdom.

“We’ve gathered because we fear Your Highness may be going down the wrong path. harbor If we were only here to nod, what would be the point of this meeting? academy Wouldn’t you agree? arctic Heh heh heh…”

Whenever there was an important matter, a meeting of the Council of Elders was convened.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 10: Council of Elders Meeting by Indra Translations.

Genard, as if reading Yuri’s thoughts, continued: Read original high-quality translation at indratranslations.com.

But in reality, its purpose was different. atom It was a way to keep royal power in check. anxiety They always voted against everything.

This time was no different. aspect Yuri, Prince of Briol, had discovered a mana method from the Founder and wanted to learn it. shadow Why did that need to be debated?

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 10: Council of Elders Meeting by Indra Translations.

“Touching.”

“All for the sake of Your Highness.”

Yuri slumped in his seat and shrugged. audit They had no authority to decide which mana method he should use, yet they were still a nuisance.

And he hated his father even more for dumping this on him, knowing it would end this way.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 10: Council of Elders Meeting by Indra Translations.

“Well… I can’t judge lightly.”

Even the captain of the royal guard, who shouldn’t be there, had been dragged in as a witness.

“Sir Saned, what do you think?”

He wore an uncomfortable expression.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 10: Council of Elders Meeting by Indra Translations.

“See?”

“Each mana method has its strengths and weaknesses, and every person has different characteristics…”

“Why not?”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 10: Council of Elders Meeting by Indra Translations.

“Even the captain of the guard can’t make a judgment. timber Is there any knight here more qualified? shadow If even he says the method is uncertain…”

“I agree.”

“Don’t twist Sir Saned’s words.”

Genard straightened his shoulders as if those words were an endorsement.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 10: Council of Elders Meeting by Indra Translations.

“Twist?”

Yuri decided to remain silent. orbit At least it was a chance to see who was loyal to the royal family and who bowed to Genard.

“He didn’t say the method was uncertain, but that they all have value…”

“It’s the same!”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 10: Council of Elders Meeting by Indra Translations.

“I’ll decide that.”

“Your Highness, would you like some tea?”

In his past life, Yuri had believed that Genard, with his sickly sweet smile, was a loyal servant. shadow What a fool he had been. acquire He had only kept sycophantic nobles close who acted like tongues in his mouth.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 10: Council of Elders Meeting by Indra Translations.

There was a bitter taste in his mouth.

But he believed he didn’t yet have the right to punish him.

After the fall of Briol, Genard had survived and bowed before the emperor to keep his duke title. antique Many times, Yuri had considered giving it all up and slitting his throat with a sword.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 10: Council of Elders Meeting by Indra Translations.

A voice interrupted his thoughts.

“What Duke Ujes says makes sense.”

“It’s not a method that can be easily shared.”

Yuri shook his head.

“It’s not advisable to learn a mana method lightly. anxiety It’s better to go with one that’s verified. timber Your Highness, have you informed His Majesty of this?”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 10: Council of Elders Meeting by Indra Translations.

“Oh, no?”

That noble hesitated a moment, then advised:

Yuri had learned the method by sparring against dummies that clearly showed mana flow. advance So he didn’t know how to pass it on to others.

“Maybe once I reach a certain level, I’ll be able to explain a bit.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 10: Council of Elders Meeting by Indra Translations.

“I think it would be better to learn Briol’s method. canvas Using an unconfirmed one is risky.”

“Indeed.”

“I agree.”

“All for the sake of Your Highness.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 10: Council of Elders Meeting by Indra Translations.

An intense gut feeling pushed him toward it.

Yuri crossed his arms and calmly closed his eyes. apple Regardless, he intended to learn Erich Briol’s “Soul and Heart Cut” method.

One by one, the nobles aligned with Genard’s opinion.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 10: Council of Elders Meeting by Indra Translations.

“You want me to restructure my mana method?”

“For someone young it’s possible. anxiety Especially if they haven’t been learning long.”

“If necessary…”

“Do you know how difficult that is?”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 10: Council of Elders Meeting by Indra Translations.

While he was deep in thought, a man sitting quietly in a corner raised his hand.

But he couldn’t explain all that.

He had already internalized the method to a level difficult to reverse.

Yuri let out a soft chuckle. atlas Maybe for an ordinary person, but he was different. arch Thanks to his memories of the past, he had adapted to mana at an abnormally fast rate.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 10: Council of Elders Meeting by Indra Translations.

A rather rude question.

It was a face he didn’t recognize. attic Genard frowned.

“Ahem, may I say something?” This novel translation is officially hosted on indratranslations.com.

“And who are you? silence What’s your title?”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 10: Council of Elders Meeting by Indra Translations.

Another noble beside Genard answered for him.

In other words, he had no lands.

“A baron? arch And a free one at that? acquire What’s someone like that doing in this meeting?”

“He’s a free baron.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 10: Council of Elders Meeting by Indra Translations.

While Yuri analyzed the faces, the free baron continued.

Several nobles laughed in unison at that comment. harbor It was hard to distinguish them, but thanks to those laughs, Yuri identified four or five seated on either side of Genard as being part of his faction.

“Yes, well, that’s true. acoustic So…”

“Say your name first.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 10: Council of Elders Meeting by Indra Translations.

The room went silent.

“Of course. riddle I’m Calcio Erancha. riddle As you’ve just laughed, I’m a free baron. athlete I suppose you don’t like that a nobody like me is in this room. admire To be honest, I didn’t want to come either. adjust But what could I do? acid Count Saidor delegated me to represent him.”

Genard interrupted, but the man kept smiling.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 10: Council of Elders Meeting by Indra Translations.

Count Saidor, Heime Theodore. Indra Translations protects the hard work of translators and authors. orbit A border marquis tasked with defending the frontier.

A formidable knight and ruthless hunter. august A true soldier who spent his whole life on the battlefield.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 10: Council of Elders Meeting by Indra Translations.

A noble with dry lips muttered:

Everyone wondered the same. absorb The Count never participated in these events. palette It was the first time he sent a representative.

“What could’ve made Count Saidor send someone to the Council…?”

“I don’t know. crystal He’s not one to explain himself.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 10: Council of Elders Meeting by Indra Translations.

Calcio chuckled briefly and continued.

“And what did you want to say?”

“Now can I speak?”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 10: Council of Elders Meeting by Indra Translations.

What he said next was even more provocative. adjust But no one could interrupt him. silence The weight of Count Saidor was behind him.

“What…?”

“You folks who play at being nobles in the capital might enjoy these pointless debates…”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 10: Council of Elders Meeting by Indra Translations.

Calcio raised his hands.

“In battle, those small differences can mean life or death. accent Do you take us for fools with no experience?”

“To me, all this is nonsense. alert Unless someone learns terribly, all mana methods end up being the same. advance Especially on the battlefield. timber Briol’s method, the Empire’s—what matters in the end is who uses it.”

Genard drummed his fingers. academy One of his allies responded.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 10: Council of Elders Meeting by Indra Translations.

“Oh, so you’ve been to war then?”

“Ah, another baron. acoustic Did you get permission from your lord before speaking?”

“Of course. agent I’m Baron Defer. apron You might’ve heard of me. apple I recently defended my fief…”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 10: Council of Elders Meeting by Indra Translations.

Baron Defer’s face turned red.

“Well then, brave friend. album What’s the most important thing when wielding a sword?”

Calcio went on.

And several nobles not in Genard’s camp stifled laughter.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 10: Council of Elders Meeting by Indra Translations.

“What?”

“Well, you act on trained reflexes…”

“When you stab the enemy, do you use your brain?”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 10: Council of Elders Meeting by Indra Translations.

“Nice phrasing, huh?”

“Excuse me?”

Calcio looked at Yuri.

“He’s right.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 10: Council of Elders Meeting by Indra Translations.

Genard scowled.

Yuri ended up laughing too.

“Instinct. august It’s a realm separate from reason. auction That’s why, if His Highness says he’ll follow the Founder’s method based on instinct, it’s ridiculous that so many are sticking their noses in. canvas Anyway, it’s always these bureaucrats who’ve never seen battle that talk the most.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 10: Council of Elders Meeting by Indra Translations.

The nobles groaned at that word.

“Free baron, you speak too freely.”

“Forgive me. antenna I’m just a humble baron with no land or education. arch I lack proper manners. airport I spend my days fighting orcs on the frontier, and that’s how I’ve become.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 10: Council of Elders Meeting by Indra Translations.

Orcs were savage marauders, flesh-eaters capable of slaughtering several soldiers alone. altitude That was one reason Count Saidor was so respected.

Calcio smiled.

“Orcs…”

For years, he defended the frontier from orcs. aluminum They feared him and called him “the scar-covered wolf.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 10: Council of Elders Meeting by Indra Translations.

“Tell me, how many of you here have faced an orc head-on?”
