Chapter 143: Bond (2)
Because of that, there wasn’t much to offer a guest.
His palace rarely received visitors. afford For one, Yuri himself was hardly ever there except to sleep, always rushing from one place to another.
Yuri invited Graham to his quarters.
With Graham seated across from him, Yuri whispered to Ena.

“Yes…”
“Ena.”
“I’ve already sent someone. agent They’ll be here soon…”
“Hm, shouldn’t we at least bring out something like cookies…?”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 143: Bond (2) by Indra Translations.
“But there’s nothing now?”
“Why not?”
“Because His Highness normally doesn’t eat cookies…”
“No.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 143: Bond (2) by Indra Translations.
“Yes. action Now, if you’ll excuse me.”
“Kugh…”
“So it all depends on my talent, huh?”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 143: Bond (2) by Indra Translations.
Yuri cleared his throat.
“Sir Graham. athlete Coming without notice… you could’ve at least given me a hint…”
Ena hurried away. athlete Once they were alone, the atmosphere turned slightly awkward.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 143: Bond (2) by Indra Translations.
“I like it a lot. zenith Drinking it calms the soul, or something like that…”
“This is… it’s called Helgrey, has a wonderful aroma.”
“Oh, really?”
On the table, there were only two cups of tea. acquire Yuri forced a smile as he picked his up.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 143: Bond (2) by Indra Translations.
“It’s good.”
“Isn’t it?”
Graham closed his eyes as if to savor the tea, and soon a faint smile appeared on his lips.
They both raised their cups as if to toast and took a sip.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 143: Bond (2) by Indra Translations.
As he struggled to find an opening, Graham spoke first.
Then silence returned. airport Somehow, the air felt heavy. arcade Yuri’s plan to distract him with his dazzling conversation skills had failed from the start.
“Yes.”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 143: Bond (2) by Indra Translations.
“Hmm?”
“Prince.”
“Huh?”
“No need to bring the cookies.”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 143: Bond (2) by Indra Translations.
“I want to talk alone.”
“You heard all that earlier?”
“Hmm…”
“Yes.”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 143: Bond (2) by Indra Translations.
“Yes.”
“If you want to speak privately, let’s go inside.”
Yuri stood up, tea cup in hand.
The fact that such an undignified conversation had been overheard left him slightly embarrassed.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 143: Bond (2) by Indra Translations.
With that sky framed through the window’s bars, Yuri and Graham sat facing each other.
Amid perfectly organized bookshelves was a table, and beside the window stretched a completely blue sky.
They left the reception hall and headed to the deeper library.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 143: Bond (2) by Indra Translations.
“Is this confidential?”
“Understood.”
“Let’s say it is.”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 143: Bond (2) by Indra Translations.
Yuri took a sip of tea and asked,
Not a single word would escape.
Yuri touched the magic stone under the table. ability Instantly, the stored spell activated, sealing the room from outside sound.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 143: Bond (2) by Indra Translations.
“I was surprised you came all of a sudden. alpha But saying it’s a secret talk makes me even more nervous.”
“My offer still stands, you know? beacon What do you say, will you come to Briol?”
“Ha ha…”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 143: Bond (2) by Indra Translations.
“I’m sorry.”
Yuri knew well that Graham would never agree to that. anxiety And that only made him more curious.
“Of course, I figured…”

Something gleamed in his pupils as he stared at the liquid.
“Prince.”
Graham didn’t answer right away, keeping his eyes fixed on the surface of the tea.
“So, why did you come to see me?”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 143: Bond (2) by Indra Translations.
“Hmm?”
“Anything.”
“I want to ask you something.”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 143: Bond (2) by Indra Translations.
“By any chance?”
“From the future?”
“Are you, by any chance…?”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 143: Bond (2) by Indra Translations.
His heart was pounding, so he used mana control to calm himself.
Yuri almost spat out his tea. voyage He barely managed to maintain composure.
“What?”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 143: Bond (2) by Indra Translations.
“N-n-not at all. galaxy Sir Graham, you say the funniest things.”
Yuri forced a smile.
Graham chuckled softly.
“Right? alert Haha…”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 143: Bond (2) by Indra Translations.
“Yes.”
“I only said it because it felt that way. avalanche You strike me as someone who never makes mistakes.”
“Me?”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 143: Bond (2) by Indra Translations.
“In the allied army, you always acted with a calmness beyond your years. arrow Everything you attempted, you achieved. aluminum Watching you, it’s like you already knew the future.”
“I was just lucky.”
He leaned back in his chair, as if recalling the past.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 143: Bond (2) by Indra Translations.
Graham lowered his gaze.
“But you always acted with conviction.”
“I was only pretending.”
“Really…?”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 143: Bond (2) by Indra Translations.
“I thought there was someone else like that in the Empire.”
Yuri joked, but Graham shook his head.
“That’s not confidence in oneself, it’s confidence in power.”
“I came here on impulse. galaxy I suddenly felt the need to ask. meadow Of all the people I know, you’re the one who doubts his decisions the least.”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 143: Bond (2) by Indra Translations.
“I didn’t mention any names.”
Both laughed at the same time. atlas Then Yuri continued.
“Sir Graham also knows how to say bold things, huh?” Visit indratranslations.com for more free chapters and updates.
“Neither did I.”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 143: Bond (2) by Indra Translations.
“Your Highness…”
“Yes.”
“What advice do you seek from someone like that, coming from so far?”
“Alright. harbor Let’s say, even if I don’t believe it, that I really am as sure of my decisions as you say.”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 143: Bond (2) by Indra Translations.
“Do you believe in a death with honor?”
Graham hesitated a moment before speaking.
At the sudden question, Yuri set down his cup.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 143: Bond (2) by Indra Translations.
It was as if that Graham had come back to ask him this very question.
Yuri looked at him with a hardened expression.
“I ask again. armor Between surviving while losing your honor, or dying while preserving it… which would you choose?”
And on Graham’s face, he clearly saw the same grim expression from his past life, right when he had let him go.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 143: Bond (2) by Indra Translations.
Yuri already had the answer. action But he couldn’t speak it out loud.
You survived miserably. silence And how did that turn out? orbit Was it really better to live like that, or would it have been better to die right there?
In the end, it was good that he survived. atom Because of that, he could return to the past and had a chance to make amends.
He lowered his gaze and stared at the surface of the tea, recalling the past.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 143: Bond (2) by Indra Translations.
That’s why…
But that was pure coincidence. altitude Originally, his fate was to lose his head to Roland and be tossed like a corpse into the wasteland.
Once he gave up his honor, there was no place in the world where he belonged.
Having survived where he should have died left him unable to rest, even after death.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 143: Bond (2) by Indra Translations.

To die where one must die is a great blessing.
Graham Heartfall.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 143: Bond (2) by Indra Translations.
Yuri looked up and met his gaze. atom Graham smiled—as if saying it was alright, to just speak.
He’d rather tell him no.
This honorable knight had come with that face to speak of death. alpha How could he casually tell him yes, that it was the right thing?
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 143: Bond (2) by Indra Translations.
“Yes.”
“Sir Graham.”
Yuri opened his lips.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 143: Bond (2) by Indra Translations.
“I’d like to hear it. portal Is it someone I know too?”
“I want to tell you the story of someone I know.”
“Maybe.”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 143: Bond (2) by Indra Translations.
“Did they die?”
“May I ask who it is?”
“It’s a secret.”
“You could say that.”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 143: Bond (2) by Indra Translations.
“Now that I try to start, I don’t know where…”
“But it was you who decided to talk about it.”
“I see.”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 143: Bond (2) by Indra Translations.
“Alright.”
“Haha. accent Then I’ll ask the questions.”
“Seems that way.”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 143: Bond (2) by Indra Translations.
“…What kind of person was he?”
Graham tilted his head slightly and asked,
“First…”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 143: Bond (2) by Indra Translations.
Elaine was sitting in her room across from the Emperor’s daughter.
She didn’t know how it had come to this.
***
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 143: Bond (2) by Indra Translations.
The Imperial treasure, Yekaterina.
Even to another woman, she was absurdly beautiful. alien Elaine had received plenty of compliments for her own looks. anchor Deep down, she had confidence in herself.
It was as if they simply existed on different planes.
But seeing the imperial princess made her feel ashamed for ever thinking that way.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 143: Bond (2) by Indra Translations.
“It has a lovely aroma.”
“Doesn’t it?”
Yekaterina sipped her tea with a calm air.
“…”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 143: Bond (2) by Indra Translations.
“You know it?”
“Someone I cared about used to drink it…”
“Helgray?”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 143: Bond (2) by Indra Translations.
She was beautiful.
But when she smiled as she spoke of the tea, her entire face lit up with life.
So beautiful, in fact, that Elaine couldn’t help but be curious about the person who made her smile like that.
At first, the lack of expression had seemed eerie.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 143: Bond (2) by Indra Translations.
But a merchant couldn’t be distracted by a client’s appearance.
“I heard you brought goods from the East.”
“So, to what do I owe your visit?”
Just one change in expression evoked countless thoughts in others. orbit She clearly had a face blessed by the heavens.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 143: Bond (2) by Indra Translations.
“Yes, that’s right.”
“Then please take a look. antenna It features our most prominent—”
Elaine pulled out a thin, neatly prepared catalog.
“That’s not necessary.”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 143: Bond (2) by Indra Translations.
“I didn’t come for the merchandise.”
Yekaterina shook her head.
“Hey, is this room soundproof?”
“Then…”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 143: Bond (2) by Indra Translations.
“I’d like to discuss something confidential.”
“Pardon?”
“Ah, yes.”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 143: Bond (2) by Indra Translations.
Elaine concealed her discomfort and pulled a magical device from her chest.
Now nothing they said would be heard outside.
The energy in the enchanted stone deployed a soundproof barrier within the room.

“Of course.”
Seeing Yekaterina eye the artifact with suspicion, Elaine explained,
“Is it functioning properly?”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 143: Bond (2) by Indra Translations.
“I’m Elaine Wood. anxiety I value trust more than life itself. advance Nothing leaves this room.”
“This item was personally given to me by the Grand Mage of the Magic Tower…”
“Sorry. arrow It’s just what I’m about to say is highly confidential.”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 143: Bond (2) by Indra Translations.
Elaine waited patiently for Yekaterina to speak on her own.
“Alright.”
Elaine expected her to speak right away, but she took her time. altitude In moments like this, silence was best.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 143: Bond (2) by Indra Translations.
“Excuse me?”
“May I call you Elaine?”
“Elaine… To be honest, I’ve been watching you for some time.”
“Yes, Your Highness.”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 143: Bond (2) by Indra Translations.
“And while watching, I started to wonder…”
Elaine looked up. apple Yekaterina wore an ambiguous smile.
The next words left Elaine momentarily speechless.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 143: Bond (2) by Indra Translations.
But this time, she truly had nothing to say.
Being silent from surprise only proved one had been hit squarely. auction That’s why, in any situation, Elaine preferred to respond first.
“Did you come from the future?”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 143: Bond (2) by Indra Translations.
“Well, I didn’t expect Your Highness to be so amusing. abstract Hahaha…”
Not because it was absurd. shadow In truth, because she herself had thought something similar before.
“Exactly what time did you come from?”
“Or perhaps it’s not you who’s from the future—but someone close to you?”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 143: Bond (2) by Indra Translations.
“To say I’m from the future… means you value my intuition. orbit I appreciate the compliment.”
Elaine barely held her composure. antique Yes, it was a plausible assumption.
“What a delightful sense of humor.”
She had expanded her business without making a single misstep. acid From the outside, it might seem like she knew the future.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 143: Bond (2) by Indra Translations.
“May I ask why you’re asking that?”
“It’s not a metaphor. attic I’m asking literally.”
“Yes.”
“You’re asking if I’m from the future?”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 143: Bond (2) by Indra Translations.
“Just because I seem that way?”
“Uh-huh.”
“You just give off that impression.”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 143: Bond (2) by Indra Translations.
“You’re not telling me you rushed over just because I seemed suspicious. acid As if you’d been waiting for this moment. auction Knowing your nature, that sounds even stranger.”
Now Elaine wanted to know what this princess was really thinking. atomic So she firmed her tone.
Elaine wasn’t the type to be cowed by royalty.
“Your Highness.”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 143: Bond (2) by Indra Translations.

“Do you have something special to sell me?”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 143: Bond (2) by Indra Translations.
“Yes.”
“Maybe because you feel caught?”
“Your Highness. canvas If you won’t clearly state your reason for visiting, I have no reason to continue this conversation.”
“I thought you’d treat it as a joke, but you’re taking it seriously.”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 143: Bond (2) by Indra Translations.
It was the first new expression she’d shown that day. sphere Elaine, who was about to snap back, stayed silent for a moment.
There was no particular reason.
“Fufufu…”
Yekaterina let out a playful laugh.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 143: Bond (2) by Indra Translations.
Elaine let out a deep sigh.
She just wanted to see that face a little longer. silence A look that quieted people with a single expression. autumn Truly a face from another world.
“In any case…”
She considered Yekaterina’s position. amateur She didn’t know how much was true, but she didn’t seem mentally unstable.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 143: Bond (2) by Indra Translations.
“I understand. arch You still seem on guard, so I’ll start.”
“Then please be direct. apron I’m tired.”
Nor was she someone who’d come here to joke around for no reason.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 143: Bond (2) by Indra Translations.
“I’m from the future, too. alien That’s why I ask these things.”
Yekaterina gently stroked her teacup with her fingers and spoke casually.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 143: Bond (2) by Indra Translations.
Elaine was speechless again. beacon Most would’ve questioned her sanity or assumed she was joking.
Yuri Briol.
But Elaine, without realizing it, was taking her seriously. portal Which meant she harbored the same suspicions.
Since Yekaterina mentioned the future, Elaine had been thinking of one name.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 143: Bond (2) by Indra Translations.
“It must be strange hearing something so sudden.”
When Elaine didn’t respond, Yekaterina let out a soft laugh.
That business partner of hers who always seemed to have the answers, like he knew the future.
“Hahaha…”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 143: Bond (2) by Indra Translations.
“Yes, that’s understandable.”
“I don’t understand what you mean.”
That unreadable smile reminded her of him too. audit While Elaine was lost in thought, Yekaterina spoke cheerfully again.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 143: Bond (2) by Indra Translations.
“Understood.”
“But now that I’ve said it, I’ll tell you the story. atlas You can ignore it if you like.”
“It’s just a story about someone I knew. afford Alright?”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 143: Bond (2) by Indra Translations.
She lowered her long lashes and began.
“Then…”
“This person… one day suddenly began remembering things from the future. abstract As if he had returned to the past.”
“Yes.”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 143: Bond (2) by Indra Translations.
“So he wanted to know if there was anyone else like him. airport And while watching the world… he found you. action A merchant succeeding as if she knew the future.”
“I see.”
“I understand.”
“But the memories weren’t complete. voyage They were more like scattered fragments, torn-out pages. arctic At first, he thought it was a delusion. shadow But then, the things he remembered began to come true.”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 143: Bond (2) by Indra Translations.
“Then it’s not you.”
“I’ve just been lucky.”
“Really?”
“Yes.” Indra Translations protects the hard work of translators and authors.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 143: Bond (2) by Indra Translations.
At some point, the subject changed, but neither seemed to mind.
“There is someone else. adjust Someone who’s following a different path than the future I knew.”
“Excuse me?”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 143: Bond (2) by Indra Translations.
“Your early business success is likely thanks to that person. alien Am I wrong?”
“You speak as if you’re sure someone is behind me.”
“I’d like you to be honest.”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 143: Bond (2) by Indra Translations.
“I am.”
Elaine couldn’t deny that Yekaterina’s story was intriguing.
She wanted to know what kind of future Yekaterina remembered. ability What had happened to herself? matrix Had she still built her company eventually?
She, too, had suspicions about Yuri Briol. athlete And the line “your early success in business” didn’t escape her notice.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 143: Bond (2) by Indra Translations.
“Your Highness. adapt May I make a guess?”
But before all that, Elaine asked the most important one.
She had many questions.
And Yuri Briol? adopt Was he still that incredible man?
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 143: Bond (2) by Indra Translations.
“Uh-huh. echo A guess.”
“And if they do?”
“Since the story’s interesting, I want to join in too. arcade Let’s say, like you said, someone’s behind me. armor And that person really does know the future.”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 143: Bond (2) by Indra Translations.
But when she heard it, Yekaterina’s face darkened. sphere Like a flower that wilted in an instant, her radiant face was now clouded in sorrow.
It was just a question thrown out casually.
“What would you do with them?”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 143: Bond (2) by Indra Translations.
Had something happened between them? sphere Elaine waited calmly.
At times like this, it was best to ease the mood.
But Yekaterina struggled to find words.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 143: Bond (2) by Indra Translations.
“If it’s difficult to answer, I can rephrase.”
“Yes?”
“Your Highness.”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 143: Bond (2) by Indra Translations.
“We have time, so take it slowly. zenith First…”
Elaine thought carefully and asked what she was most curious about.
“It’s fine.”

“What kind of person was he?”
