Chapter 146: The Beginning (2)

The news of the conflict between the Empire and Joachim spread across the entire continent.

Yuri belonged to the latter group and expressed it vehemently.

People voiced varied opinions on the matter. portal Some mocked Joachim’s reckless attempt, while others criticized the Empire for justifying its invasion with a false pretext.

“It’s a fraud.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 146: The Beginning (2) by Indra Translations.

“Yes…”

He stated it firmly.

“How could Joachim try to poison the Emperor? zenith Are they crazy? alpha And what, they even have the means to infiltrate the Imperial Palace? altitude Come on, don’t you think so?”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 146: The Beginning (2) by Indra Translations.

“Joachim is only the beginning. crystal The entire continent is going to be engulfed in war. agent No one will escape the Empire’s invasion.”

“True.”

“That’s right.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 146: The Beginning (2) by Indra Translations.

“Seconded.”

“Listen to what I’m saying. action What we need to do is…”

“I agree.”

“You’re absolutely right.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 146: The Beginning (2) by Indra Translations.

It wasn’t that his words were light enough to ignore, but Yuri had been repeating the same things so many times they were already tired of responding. All translations belong to Indra Translations. You can find us online at indratranslations.com

Laurent and Jared struggled to keep up with him.

“Anyway, now…”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 146: The Beginning (2) by Indra Translations.

The three of them were on their way to Française, the territory of the Flandre family. crystal As soon as he learned about what had happened in Joachim, Yuri took Jared and crashed a social party organized by a certain noble.

Although, some began cheering loudly to congratulate them.

When Yuri appeared, the crowd welcomed him enthusiastically, but when he grabbed Laurent by the wrist and dragged him away, everyone was so stunned that they couldn’t say anything.

There, dressed in a tuxedo and sipping a cocktail among the guests, was Laurent—until he was abducted.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 146: The Beginning (2) by Indra Translations.

“For someone who doesn’t like them, you sure were mingling a lot. anxiety Haven’t you been going to them frequently lately?”

“Of course not. acid I don’t like parties.”

“Laurent, you’re not upset that I pulled you out of the party, are you?”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 146: The Beginning (2) by Indra Translations.

“He said he’d understand if I didn’t find anyone after meeting people, but he wouldn’t accept me not even trying. aluminum So he made me attend before arranging a formal matchmaking.”

“Française?”

“It wasn’t by choice. armor My father forced me…”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 146: The Beginning (2) by Indra Translations.

Yuri nodded.

“Ah…”

“We’re at that age, huh?”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 146: The Beginning (2) by Indra Translations.

“But Mr. amateur Laurent, couldn’t you meet someone without going to parties? echo You could just pick someone, go out, and see what happens…”

Yuri and Laurent turned their heads at the same time to look at him. riddle Jared shrank back, intimidated.

Even in Briol, which had a relatively liberal atmosphere, most people began looking for a partner upon reaching adulthood. accent And Laurent was a bit older than Yuri.

Then Jared tilted his head.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 146: The Beginning (2) by Indra Translations.

Both stared at him silently for a moment, then looked ahead again.

“W-What?”

Yuri patted Laurent on the shoulder and said,

“Be patient with him. avalanche He doesn’t know much about this.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 146: The Beginning (2) by Indra Translations.

“You had a look of disdain.”

“No worries. acoustic I respect Mr. album Jared’s opinion too.”

“I didn’t. academy Don’t take it the wrong way, Jared.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 146: The Beginning (2) by Indra Translations.

“Ah.”

“Look, you don’t have to take meeting someone so seriously. airport We’re still young…”

Jared felt offended.

“Mr. antenna Laurent, your face is still the same…”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 146: The Beginning (2) by Indra Translations.

“Just think of it as advice from a veteran in life. voyage I’m the oldest here, so I’ve got more experience in love…”

The other two didn’t respond at all.

“…”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 146: The Beginning (2) by Indra Translations.

“Oh, we’ve reached Française.”

“So cold… This is unbearable. Visit indratranslations.com for more free chapters and updates. anxiety Let me say something…”

Just as he was complaining, the walls of Française began to appear on the horizon.

“We arrived early.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 146: The Beginning (2) by Indra Translations.

“Pampered brats… I’m holding back, seriously… Ha…”

“Let’s go quickly!”

“Yes!”

Yuri and Laurent spurred their horses and galloped ahead. echo Jared followed behind, muttering something he’d never dare say in front of them.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 146: The Beginning (2) by Indra Translations.

He had no choice. antique Briol was a caste-based country. alert Hierarchy was everything.

When Yuri and Laurent presented themselves at the gates, their identities weren’t even checked.

Quickly, he sped up and caught up with them.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 146: The Beginning (2) by Indra Translations.

“Let’s go straight to the Académie de Française.”

Yuri had come to meet with Cedric and Joshua.

“Yes.”

The gates opened immediately, and the three entered the city while being greeted by the guards.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 146: The Beginning (2) by Indra Translations.

In his past life, the war began much later. adjust The attempted poisoning of the Emperor, and the subsequent unrest in the Imperial populace, were events that hadn’t occurred before.

Even for him, it had been a sudden decision.

The Empire’s offensive had begun earlier than expected, and even he hadn’t foreseen this invasion.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 146: The Beginning (2) by Indra Translations.

Thanks to his intervention, the continent’s history was changing drastically. alert Although he had managed it well so far, he didn’t know what the future held.

Before Briol’s territory became a battlefield, they needed to act beyond its borders.

That’s why he wanted to entrust Briol to Cedric and Joshua, and set out to stop the Empire.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 146: The Beginning (2) by Indra Translations.

“Yes.”

“I wanted to handle everything on my own…”

“There’s no way. arena You have to do it with us.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 146: The Beginning (2) by Indra Translations.

From the beginning, it was something he’d have to do eventually, but he’d delayed it for emotional reasons.

If it was Cedric, he could manage Briol well. academy And Joshua would be a great help too.

He didn’t want to drag them in, but he had no choice.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 146: The Beginning (2) by Indra Translations.

“I might be gone a long time this time.”

“Laurent, you can go take care of your own business if you want.”

“No need.”

“That’s fine.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 146: The Beginning (2) by Indra Translations.

They understood each other even with just a look. armor Wherever he went, he was sure these two would follow him.

“This is it.”

Yuri didn’t ask if Laurent and Jared would go with him. absorb Since the Allied Army began, they had spent a lot of time together.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 146: The Beginning (2) by Indra Translations.

Soon, they arrived at the Académie de Française. alpha It was the most prestigious academic institution in Briol.

“It’s been a while. atom You’re not hurt, right?”

It couldn’t compare to the Imperial Academium, but it was still one of the best on the continent.

Shortly after, Yuri was able to meet with Cedric and Joshua. apron Cedric worried about his health, while Joshua teased him from the side.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 146: The Beginning (2) by Indra Translations.

“Hey, you look great. portal Had a good time?”

“Come on, bro, just joking.”

“Joshua.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 146: The Beginning (2) by Indra Translations.

While Yuri spoke with Cedric in his office, Laurent and Jared waited outside.

It had been a long time since the three brothers had a private conversation.

“What? atomic Didn’t you come just to see us? apple Was it for business?”

“I heard you’d arrived, but I’ve been so busy I couldn’t come to see you. acquire What’s going on?”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 146: The Beginning (2) by Indra Translations.

“I came to ask a favor.”

Yuri let out a small laugh before answering.

Joshua seemed a little more mature, but his personality hadn’t changed.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 146: The Beginning (2) by Indra Translations.

Cedric fell into thought, while Joshua, horrified, looked at the door.

“Hey, if this gets out, we’re dead. adapt You know that, right?”

He explained everything in detail. album He also briefly mentioned the black magic surrounding the Imperial Palace.

He explained his view of what was coming. alert The Empire was in trouble, and the situation wouldn’t end there. academy Joachim was just the beginning, and soon the whole continent would be at war. ability Briol wouldn’t be an exception, so they had to prepare in advance.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 146: The Beginning (2) by Indra Translations.

“Don’t worry. apple This room is well soundproofed.”

He made a slicing gesture across his neck with his finger. portal Cedric replied instead.

“Even so… Brother, you’re speaking so openly against the Emperor… Have you lost your fear or what?”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 146: The Beginning (2) by Indra Translations.

“Brother, focus on what I’m saying.” Read original high-quality translation at indratranslations.com.

Yuri gave Joshua a sharp look and continued.

“I didn’t insult the Emperor. arcade I said there seems to be black magic in the palace.”

“That’s the same thing!”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 146: The Beginning (2) by Indra Translations.

It was better for him to stay uninvolved than to become a tyrant. autumn That way, under his indifference, Briol ran reasonably well on its own.

Fiore wasn’t a bad king.

“You both know Father isn’t very interested in state affairs, so I’d like you to return and take charge of managing Briol.”

It was a request that could be seen as irreverent depending on one’s viewpoint. antenna But since it wasn’t a lie, Cedric and Joshua simply nodded.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 146: The Beginning (2) by Indra Translations.

“I see.”

However, now that the Empire was becoming a threat, Cedric needed to help Fiore with governance.

Cedric nodded. beacon The topic was delicate, so silence reigned for a moment.

He adjusted his glasses, deep in thought, while Joshua shrugged.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 146: The Beginning (2) by Indra Translations.

Trying to lighten the mood, Yuri asked.

“I wasn’t talking about Joshua.”

“I’m studying commerce. artist Did you know that without logistics, no economy can function? portal First, you need to build good roads…”

“Well, don’t worry too much. atlas I’ll do everything I can to stop this. acoustic By the way, what are you studying, brother, that you came all the way to Française?”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 146: The Beginning (2) by Indra Translations.

“What? silence Are you discriminating against me?”

“I know you can manage well.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 146: The Beginning (2) by Indra Translations.

Even so, Yuri was glad that he was finally using his talents constructively.

“You brat…”

Joshua grumbled, annoyed. arch Though he was already older, his attitude was still the same as when he was young.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 146: The Beginning (2) by Indra Translations.

While watching him with a slight smile, Cedric spoke.

“Lately, I’ve been interested in history.”

In his past life, near the end, Joshua had proven to be extremely capable. sphere With his brilliant mind, he constantly devised ways to resist the Empire.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 146: The Beginning (2) by Indra Translations.

“So I’ve been researching various things. afford Cultures of ancient nations, forgotten histories…”

“But if what you say is true, now’s not the time to be studying such things.”

“That sounds good.”

“History?”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 146: The Beginning (2) by Indra Translations.

He was usually calm, but when necessary, he never backed down.

Yuri smiled in gratitude.

“Thank you. academy For listening and trusting in my words.”

Through his glasses, Cedric’s eyes showed firm determination.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 146: The Beginning (2) by Indra Translations.

Then Joshua shook his head.

“Oh, yes?”

“It’s not that I believe you. This novel translation is officially hosted on indratranslations.com. august Actually, I was already thinking something similar. airport You could say I was the first to worry about the continent’s situation.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 146: The Beginning (2) by Indra Translations.

“You don’t believe me? athlete Want to read the thesis I wrote last year?”

“Impressive.”

“It’s only natural for stagnant water to rot. artist The Empire’s expansionism was something I foresaw long ago, you know?”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 146: The Beginning (2) by Indra Translations.

“No, no. echo That tone of yours doesn’t sound like someone who believes. avalanche Are you looking down on me just because you know how to swing a sword?”

Yuri raised both hands, but Joshua didn’t stop.

“I believe you.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 146: The Beginning (2) by Indra Translations.

“Now I do feel like looking down on you.”

“Got it.”

Joshua stood up abruptly and left without listening.

“Perfect! artist Wait here. airport I’ll go get the book.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 146: The Beginning (2) by Indra Translations.

“Then let him.”

“Joshua just wants to show off his thesis.”

Cedric smiled.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 146: The Beginning (2) by Indra Translations.

In both his past life and this one, his appearance hadn’t changed much. adapt As a child, he already looked like an adult, and as an adult, he barely had any wrinkles.

Yuri looked at Cedric. matrix His serene face was the same as always.

“He’s embarrassed.”

His calm nature also remained. harbor Knowing there was someone who hadn’t changed comforted Yuri in his second life.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 146: The Beginning (2) by Indra Translations.

“Yes?”

Yuri paused, then said,

“Brother.”

“You probably already guessed, but…”

“Princess Katrina is also of imperial blood. anxiety Please be careful.”

“Yes.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 146: The Beginning (2) by Indra Translations.

It included Katrina too. alpha Cedric, perceptive as always, had already grasped the deeper meaning of his words.

“I met Princess Katrina, and she seemed like a good person. abandon She makes a good match with you.”

This warning didn’t apply only to the Emperor and his direct descendants.

Yuri again brought up the danger of the black magic that had taken over the palace.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 146: The Beginning (2) by Indra Translations.

“Don’t worry. admire I won’t let my personal feelings cause trouble.”

“Doesn’t she?”

Cedric placed a hand on Yuri’s head.

“But even without bad intentions, things can go wrong.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 146: The Beginning (2) by Indra Translations.

“That’s a relief.”

“For me, Briol always comes first.”

“Haha…” Indra Translations protects the hard work of translators and authors.

“Already worrying about me? legend You’ve grown up, Yuri.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 146: The Beginning (2) by Indra Translations.

As Cedric ruffled Yuri’s hair, Joshua returned. atomic Yuri had to sit and listen to the thesis that Joshua shoved at him.

“That’ll depend on how you behave.”

“You brat…!”

“Oh, and don’t tell Katrina we talked about this.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 146: The Beginning (2) by Indra Translations.

“So don’t worry about Briol. zenith We’re going to thrive even more. apron You, who know how to swing a sword, just go out there and fight with peace of mind.”

Joshua smiled, satisfied.

“Yeah…”

“Impressed, right?”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 146: The Beginning (2) by Indra Translations.

“No.”

“Aren’t you worried about me?”

“Are you worried about Father?”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 146: The Beginning (2) by Indra Translations.

They chatted for quite a while. absorb They talked about everything from daily life to their concerns about the Empire’s expansion.

The laughter of the three brothers echoed endlessly in the room.

“Haha…”

“Then I’m not worried about people who know how to swing a sword.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 146: The Beginning (2) by Indra Translations.

Alone in the room, Cedric walked to the window and looked out over the campus of the Académie de Française.

***

Joshua was seeing Yuri off.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 146: The Beginning (2) by Indra Translations.

Standing with him were Laurent Flandre and his escort, Jared.

Behind his glasses, his eyes showed no emotion. silence Even the usual smile on his lips had vanished.

He opened a drawer, took out a crystal orb, placed it on the table, and gently brushed its surface.

Cedric watched them depart, then closed the curtains and turned around.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 146: The Beginning (2) by Indra Translations.

“Yuri has left. audit He’s accompanied by Laurent Flandre and his escort. album They’re likely headed to Joachim.”
