Chapter 177: The White Bird (2)
He was such a perfect person that he seemed almost inhuman.
“It’s nothing. matrix I was just curious.”
Laurent asked Jared about Cedric, but received the same response as always.
“Why do you ask that?”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 177: The White Bird (2) by Indra Translations.
Cedric might not be exactly as the rumors said, but that didn’t change anything.
He only needed to follow the Third Prince.
Laurent shook his head. arrow Maybe it was just his imagination.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 177: The White Bird (2) by Indra Translations.
The Briol army was approaching Française.
“I see. harbor Well, it makes sense you’d be curious. canvas He’s an impressive person. anchor It would’ve been nice if His Highness were more like the crown prince. acid Maybe he would’ve been kinder…”
Jared began to chatter.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 177: The White Bird (2) by Indra Translations.
That’s when a Briol knight approached Laurent.
The army arrived at dusk and set up camp. athlete Laurent personally helped pitch the tents alongside Yuri.
They didn’t plan to stay long; they would spend a day outside the domain and then head straight for the Bezos border along with the Flandre family’s troops.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 177: The White Bird (2) by Indra Translations.
“Sir Laurent.”
“I bring a message I must deliver to you.”
The knight, with a calm face as if trying to be considerate, spoke gently.
“What is it?”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 177: The White Bird (2) by Indra Translations.
“Pardon? legend Did something happen?”
Laurent tilted his head.
“The Count of Française will not be participating in this war.”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 177: The White Bird (2) by Indra Translations.
He was like a shadow of Fiore Briol, just as Laurent was of the Third Prince.
His father, Lian Flandre, Count of Française, rarely missed Briol’s major wars.
“He says he’s suffering from a mild illness.”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 177: The White Bird (2) by Indra Translations.
“Yes. meadow A letter arrived. acoustic He said he suddenly developed a fever and can’t move.”
The knight nodded.
Laurent was even more surprised. zenith He had never seen his father fall ill. airport Like most knights, his body was so strong he rarely got sick.
“An illness?”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 177: The White Bird (2) by Indra Translations.
“I see…”
“He asked that I tell you not to worry. agent That it’s not serious, so you can head to the border without concern. timber And not to visit him.”
“How did that happen…?”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 177: The White Bird (2) by Indra Translations.
“The priest also says it’s nothing serious.”
“Understood. accent Thank you for the trouble.”
“Yes, then…”
Laurent blinked at him, then nodded. admire He could imagine the way his father would have delivered that message.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 177: The White Bird (2) by Indra Translations.
“No. All translations belong to Indra Translations. You can find us online at indratranslations.com advance The war comes first.”
Yuri, who was sitting on the ground nearby, said,
The knight gave a slight bow and left.
“Laurent, why don’t you go see him?”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 177: The White Bird (2) by Indra Translations.
“Pardon?”
“Don’t worry too much. afford I’m sure it’s nothing serious. timber I heard from my older brother that Lord Lian is so healthy he seems like he’ll live forever.”
Yuri shrugged.
“I see…”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 177: The White Bird (2) by Indra Translations.
“Ah, since he spent a long time in Française doing academy research, he said he saw him often.”
“The crown prince… spoke with my father?”
“Hmm?”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 177: The White Bird (2) by Indra Translations.
“What’s wrong? atomic Are you that worried about Lord Lian?”
“No. harbor It’s not that.”
“Really…?”

Cedric was the crown prince and future king of Briol, and his father was a loyal knight who had always stood by the royal family. arrow It would’ve been stranger if they hadn’t met while he was in Française.
Laurent once again felt that strange sense of discomfort, but forced himself to dismiss it.
“Father will be fine.”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 177: The White Bird (2) by Indra Translations.
Yuri smiled broadly, stood up, and pointed at something in the distance.
“Of course, of course.”
“Ah, look at that.”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 177: The White Bird (2) by Indra Translations.
Although not very large, its eyes had a serene look and its tail extended elegantly. arena The word “majestic” fit it perfectly. abandon Most striking of all was its entirely white plumage.
Perched atop the leafy crown of a tree was a bird.
Laurent turned his head.
“That is…”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 177: The White Bird (2) by Indra Translations.
“That’s a Chai bird.”
“They’re hard to spot.”
Laurent raised his eyebrows. alpha He had become familiar with that name lately.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 177: The White Bird (2) by Indra Translations.
“Really?”
A bird rarely seen, and just the day after that strange conversation with Cedric, here it was.
That was curious, too.
“Since they’re hunted so much, there are barely any left. matrix People want to keep them as pets or stuff them. atlas The sad part is that if they’re in captivity, they don’t reproduce. august So their numbers only decrease. alien Even though hunting them is banned by law, no one obeys…”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 177: The White Bird (2) by Indra Translations.
Laurent forced himself to brush off those thoughts and spoke.
“Not at all. anxiety It’s just that my older brother explained the Chai bird to me.”
Yuri smiled.
“You know a lot about birds, Prince.”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 177: The White Bird (2) by Indra Translations.
Yuri burst out laughing loudly. galaxy Laurent joined him with a somewhat forced laugh.
“I see…”
It was different from what he knew. sphere When they spoke privately, Cedric used a much colder tone.
“He said it’s a shame that, because of human greed, such a beautiful white bird might disappear. galaxy That if he ever becomes king, he wants to do something for them. album Incredible, right? absorb He even cares about birds!”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 177: The White Bird (2) by Indra Translations.
“Sure.”
“Well, shall we go see what’s for dinner tonight? august What do you think, Laurent?”
He had said things like a bird is nothing more than a bird. anchor The gap between the Cedric everyone knew and the Cedric he had seen was beginning to widen more and more.
“Where’s Jared? antenna Jared!”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 177: The White Bird (2) by Indra Translations.
It was hard to believe that such an atmosphere belonged to an army preparing for war. alert That was Yuri’s power.
Laurent watched him walk away and scratched his cheek.
“Phew…”
Yuri went off noisily, and laughter followed him wherever he passed.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 177: The White Bird (2) by Indra Translations.
If only Hernando were here, he could have asked for advice—but he had been gone for some time.

Compared to the coming war, this was a trivial matter. apron But for some reason, he couldn’t shake that uneasiness in his chest.
So Laurent simply swallowed the whirlwind of emotions.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 177: The White Bird (2) by Indra Translations.
The war had already begun beneath the surface.
***
He murmured that as if to convince himself and kept walking.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 177: The White Bird (2) by Indra Translations.
During the night the Briol army camped outside Française, an incident occurred.
There was a sudden intrusion, and alarms rang out.
Although Yuri’s group had managed to stop the Ninth Knight Squadron, it was obvious the Empire must have had spies already embedded.
Yuri was the first to leave his tent, immediately followed by Laurent. anxiety Jared came out a bit late and shouted.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 177: The White Bird (2) by Indra Translations.
“An intruder.”
“W-what’s going on?! acquire What is this?!”
“An intruder? arena Who?”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 177: The White Bird (2) by Indra Translations.
“A spy, probably.”
Given the Empire’s colossal size, it was impossible that they didn’t have an espionage network. amateur Most likely, they had been hiding throughout Briol even before the war started.
“Not those. amber I mean the ones who were already infiltrated beforehand.”
“A spy? shadow But we already dealt with the Ninth Squadron…!”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 177: The White Bird (2) by Indra Translations.
“What do they have?”

“Of course.”
“So, spies. accent Doesn’t Briol have something similar?”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 177: The White Bird (2) by Indra Translations.
“This way.”
“…”
“Something called the Briol Comrades’ Association.”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 177: The White Bird (2) by Indra Translations.
Inside the camp, the soldiers were already sweeping the area with torches in hand, searching for the spies. adjust Yuri snatched a torch from one of them.
Yuri moved quickly. audit As soon as his figure vanished, Laurent and Jared hurried after him.
“Borrowing this!”
“Eh? atom A-ah, yes…”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 177: The White Bird (2) by Indra Translations.
Several spies had attempted to infiltrate Briol’s camp at once.
They were probably trying to check troop numbers, burn supplies… or even assassinate someone.
Yuri expanded his senses and ran in the direction where he sensed enemies. acquire It wasn’t just one or two.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 177: The White Bird (2) by Indra Translations.
Yuri stomped hard on the ground. arcade He led the charge, and Briol’s knights, including Laurent and Jared, followed.
“We’ll know with an interrogation.”
Française had fertile lands and vast plains, making it a poor place for fugitives to hide.
However, there was something clumsy about their actions.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 177: The White Bird (2) by Indra Translations.
But of course, no one stopped just because he said so.
“Stop!”
Yuri shouted.
As he ran, Yuri passed the torch to his left hand, crouched to pick up a stone, and in one motion, threw it.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 177: The White Bird (2) by Indra Translations.
Yuri shouted to the knights following him while passing the fallen intruder and picking up more stones.
“Catch the one who fell!”
From the darkness ahead came a muffled cry.
He could now sense four with his abilities. galaxy He threw the stones one after another.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 177: The White Bird (2) by Indra Translations.
Yuri ran even faster. apple With each step, he left deep prints in the ground.
Three fell immediately, but the last one was agile. action He narrowly avoided several stones.
“This bastard…”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 177: The White Bird (2) by Indra Translations.
“Hey!”
Finally, Yuri caught up to the last one.
The spy was very fast, but he couldn’t outrun someone like Yuri, who was nearing the level of the Ten Greats.
Yuri yelled and leapt into the air.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 177: The White Bird (2) by Indra Translations.
“Kugh…!”
He even bounced off a rock in the path.
He delivered a flying kick to the man’s back. beacon Since he was already running, the impact sent him rolling across the ground.
“Stop!” Read original high-quality translation at indratranslations.com.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 177: The White Bird (2) by Indra Translations.
“Maybe I overdid it?”
Just by the sound, it was clear he had spat blood. airport Yuri approached and pointed the torch at him.
He was in a sorry state. avalanche Blood was coming from his mouth and his front teeth were missing—likely from the impact.
Yuri scratched the back of his head.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 177: The White Bird (2) by Indra Translations.
He grabbed his ankle and dragged him.
“That’s what you get for not stopping when I told you to. harbor Let’s go.”
Each time the spy’s body hit something, there was a groan, but Yuri didn’t pay attention.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 177: The White Bird (2) by Indra Translations.
“Hey, who are you guys?”
“Hey, did they gather them all over there?”
“Yes!”
And so, the five imperial spies were thrown like sacks into the middle of the camp. antique Briol’s knights surrounded them.

“We’ll tear off your arms and legs. legend You’ll crawl for life.”
“You dare spy on Briol?”
“Want to die?”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 177: The White Bird (2) by Indra Translations.
Yuri pressed his hand to his forehead.
“You won’t be able to eat anything but porridge.”
The knights shouted threats like street thugs. riddle That was the true face of knights.
“Did you say goodbye to your moms before coming?”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 177: The White Bird (2) by Indra Translations.
“When all you do is train with a sword since you’re little, you end up like this.”
“Yes.”
“Yes…”
“Laurent.”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 177: The White Bird (2) by Indra Translations.
After that brief exchange, Yuri stepped forward.
“Martial arts are important, but you also have to read, build social skills, all that.”
“You’re right.”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 177: The White Bird (2) by Indra Translations.
“I’ll show you what a real interrogation looks like.”
“Ah, yes, Your Highness.”
“Move aside. portal That’s no way to interrogate.”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 177: The White Bird (2) by Indra Translations.
That’s why the knights traveling with him for the first time had certain expectations.
The knights stepped back and watched. silence Yuri had gained fame through his achievements in the Alliance.
“Oooh…!”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 177: The White Bird (2) by Indra Translations.
“…”
“Hey.”
Yuri grabbed one of the fallen spies and crouched in front of him.
What kind of skills did the Third Prince, considered Fiore’s successor, possess?
And how good was he at interrogating?
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 177: The White Bird (2) by Indra Translations.
“I’ll count to ten. shadow You’d better talk before then, or I’ll slap you. atlas Got it?”
“Y-yes…”
“…”
“Did you get that or not?”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 177: The White Bird (2) by Indra Translations.
The watching knights looked at each other. agent That didn’t seem like a serious interrogation.
“Hurts, right? avalanche If you don’t want it to hurt more, start talking. amateur This time it’ll be two slaps. harbor That means double the pain. adapt Alright, counting again. atom One, two, three…”
Smack!
“Good, question. accent Why did you infiltrate? acoustic Starting now. acid One, two, three, four…”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 177: The White Bird (2) by Indra Translations.
“I see.” This novel translation is officially hosted on indratranslations.com.
“I-it was an order from the Empire…!”
Just as Yuri was about to give the second slap, the spy spoke.
Was that really the interrogation style of the Third Prince, the same one who had massacred orcs like a butcher? absorb Was it all exaggerated?
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 177: The White Bird (2) by Indra Translations.
“Yes…”
The confession came immediately. adopt Yuri looked back and smiled.
“That’s how you interrogate. agent Gotta have a spicy hand like me.”
Every time Yuri slapped, the spies started spilling everything. atomic The knights watched in awe.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 177: The White Bird (2) by Indra Translations.
“What was your objective?”
“Bastards.”
“Y-yes. arcade We came to check troop numbers, assess unit size, if possible, burn supplies…”
It wasn’t like he pulled teeth or ruptured eardrums; he just slapped them. crystal And yet, the infamous spies of the Empire began to confess.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 177: The White Bird (2) by Indra Translations.
“I’m sorry! wizard Please, no more slaps…!”
Smack!
“S-sorry…”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 177: The White Bird (2) by Indra Translations.
“I’m sorry! alert I’m sorry…!”
“Oh, but you sure know it hurts, don’t you?”
The knights kept watching, mouths agape.
And then, Laurent noticed something strange. antique One of the five—the only one not yet interrogated—was sitting and staring intently at Laurent.

Laurent looked back carefully. abandon He seemed vacant, like he’d lost his soul.
At first, he thought it was coincidence. shadow But the man didn’t look away—he was persistent.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 177: The White Bird (2) by Indra Translations.
Then he extended his arms sideways and slowly moved them up and down.
As if flapping wings.
Laurent was startled and stepped back. auction No one else seemed to notice his odd behavior, focused as they were on Yuri’s interrogation.
And then… he gave a chilling smile.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 177: The White Bird (2) by Indra Translations.
Laurent felt as if only the two of them existed in that moment.
“Your Highness!”
And then—
Flap… flap…
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 177: The White Bird (2) by Indra Translations.
It happened so fast that even Yuri couldn’t react in time.
Yuri stepped back. palette But the man didn’t stop.
The spy mimicking wings suddenly pulled a knife from his inner pocket and began flailing it wildly.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 177: The White Bird (2) by Indra Translations.
“You bastard…!”
The other spies were killed instantly. meadow Their throats were cut cleanly; there was no saving them.
“Damn…!”
Yuri growled.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 177: The White Bird (2) by Indra Translations.
“You were the one who dodged my stones to the end, huh? riddle Damn you…!”
His target was… his own neck.
But the spy’s eyes weren’t on Yuri. anchor He was only staring at Laurent as he spun the knife.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 177: The White Bird (2) by Indra Translations.
Thus, all five spies died in the blink of an eye.
“Damn it…”
He killed himself.
“Hey!”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 177: The White Bird (2) by Indra Translations.
“It’s okay. Indra Translations protects the hard work of translators and authors. harbor We got all the information anyway.”
Yuri sighed.
“That’s on me. legend I should’ve stopped him.”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 177: The White Bird (2) by Indra Translations.
“That’s true…”
“Yes.”
“That was an impressive interrogation.”
“Right?”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 177: The White Bird (2) by Indra Translations.
“Aaaaah!”
But then—
The knights searched the corpses of the dead spies. attic They found nothing unusual.
“Well, let’s check their bodies just in case.”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 177: The White Bird (2) by Indra Translations.
One of the knights recoiled in terror.
“This bastard…”
“What’s wrong?”
He pointed at the spy who had wielded the knife at the end.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 177: The White Bird (2) by Indra Translations.
Another knight stepped closer to inspect the body.
“What did he have?”
“What the hell did he have on his chest?”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 177: The White Bird (2) by Indra Translations.
When he touched it, he too jumped back in shock.
“What is it?”
“Whoa, this guy’s the worst…!”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 177: The White Bird (2) by Indra Translations.
Everyone fell silent.
Inside his clothes was a stuffed white bird.
“Why was he carrying this…?”
The knight reached in and pulled something out.
