Chapter 184: Evil (1)

Fiore had temporarily set up the throne room in the office of the feudal lord. arch The nobles and knights gathered in Bezos bowed their heads before him.

The army of Briol celebrated their victory with a loud night of festivities.

Ainzer spoke.

“It’s not my victory, it’s Briol’s victory.”

“Congratulations on your victory, Your Majesty.”

Fiore shook his head.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 184: Evil (1) by Indra Translations.

“But if it weren’t for Your Majesty, we wouldn’t have won.”

“Thanks to this, the entire continent must have learned of Briol’s power.”

“Who knows.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 184: Evil (1) by Indra Translations.

But it was still too early for fireworks.

Even if they hadn’t mobilized all their power, for Briol it was an event enough to greatly boost morale.

Having stopped the Empire’s first invasion was a monumental achievement. abandon Who could assure victory against the Imperial army?

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 184: Evil (1) by Indra Translations.

But no one knew when they might advance again.

“The war isn’t over yet. alert Don’t relax too much and make sure the defenses are kept in optimal condition.”

The Imperial army, led by the Black Knight, had retreated and maintained its formation coiled like a snake, showing no signs of movement.

“We’ll keep that in mind.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 184: Evil (1) by Indra Translations.

“By the way…”

“What’s happening with the other three countries? alert During the war, we couldn’t get news due to lack of time.”

He was referring to the Holy Kingdom, Brusen, and Liberta.

One of the nobles seated in the throne room broke the silence.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 184: Evil (1) by Indra Translations.

“As expected from the foreigner…”

“It seems the ogre in Liberta was practically expelled by the great hero Moyongchan.”

“Oh…!”

Fiore replied.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 184: Evil (1) by Indra Translations.

The Empire had sent the ogre to stir up trouble and then blamed Liberta for attacking their own allies. All translations belong to Indra Translations. You can find us online at indratranslations.com

“That’s a relief!”

Everyone showed expressions of relief.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 184: Evil (1) by Indra Translations.

Fiore continued.

A blatant provocation. auction The enemy of your enemy is your friend, so Briol and Liberta would likely act together.

If Liberta’s situation returned to normal, it would be a great help to Briol.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 184: Evil (1) by Indra Translations.

Everyone sighed.

“As for the Holy Kingdom and Brusen… it seems they’ll remain in conflict for a while. acquire They’re still fighting battles, wearing down their troops.”

“Why are they doing that…?”

“What a mess…”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 184: Evil (1) by Indra Translations.

“It seems she accepted a bribe to ascend the throne instead of Larsson. aspect Surely the Empire intervened.”

Ainzer asked.

Even if the four countries united, the situation was already difficult, but the Holy Kingdom had completely shattered the negotiation table.

“Why is that so-called queen of the Holy Kingdom acting this way?”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 184: Evil (1) by Indra Translations.

“Then… was it also the Empire who murdered Larsson?”

“Very likely.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 184: Evil (1) by Indra Translations.

At that moment, one of the nobles asked Yuri.

Yuri, who was listening, blamed himself for not foreseeing this situation earlier.

Larsson had always been especially distrustful of Sybilla, and she couldn’t stand him either, so it was most likely that the Empire had approached Sybilla with the proposal to eliminate Larsson and form an alliance.

But he hadn’t expected Sybilla to accept war.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 184: Evil (1) by Indra Translations.

“Didn’t you have a relationship with the queen of the Holy Kingdom?”

“Your Highness.”

“I did.”

“Hmm?”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 184: Evil (1) by Indra Translations.

The story of Yuri and Sybilla was well known.

“You no longer communicate?”

“There isn’t.”

“Isn’t there any way to find a solution?”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 184: Evil (1) by Indra Translations.

“What do you think I am to ask me something like that?”

“She cut off all communication. apple She probably can’t bear to face me. portal I suppose she made her choice in her own way. shadow There’s no point in holding out hope.”

Yuri smirked coldly.

“I see… then if we end up fighting the Holy Kingdom, Your Highness…”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 184: Evil (1) by Indra Translations.

Yuri tapped the hilt of Guilty and said.

The old knights around him burst into laughter. academy Even the noble who asked the question ended up laughing.

“If she becomes an enemy, whether it’s Sybilla or any of you, I’ll kill without hesitation. attic So don’t worry. aspect If you’re tired, just tell me.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 184: Evil (1) by Indra Translations.

Those who live on the edge of death often joke even about it.

Maybe Laurent or Jared didn’t get it, but Yuri, who had gone through countless battlefields in his past life, understood veterans well.

“Well, he’ll let us rest in the grave, huh?”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 184: Evil (1) by Indra Translations.

Fiore spoke.

“By the way.”

Little by little, the laughter died down.

“I was careless. voyage My apologies, Your Highness. agent Hahaha…”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 184: Evil (1) by Indra Translations.

Most of Briol’s nobles had come with their armies to battle the Empire.

The atmosphere instantly grew tense.

“There are still nobles who haven’t presented themselves.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 184: Evil (1) by Indra Translations.

But some still hadn’t shown up. august The most representative case was that of Duke of Yuzes, Genard Zaetheri.

“Does anyone have any idea why they’re doing this?”

A heavy silence filled the throne room. august Criticizing a duke of Genard’s level wasn’t something done lightly. matrix Much less in such a critical situation.

Even if he didn’t come personally, he should have at least sent troops, but both he and his faction had retreated to their domains with excuses. Visit indratranslations.com for more free chapters and updates.

Leaning back indifferently, he murmured as if talking to himself:

“Hmm… collusion?”

The one who broke the silence, once again, was Yuri.

The laughter spread, and some nobles laughed until they were breathless. alien Even Fiore slightly shook his shoulders.

Einzer, sitting next to Yuri, patted his arm, as if praising him.

After a moment of silence, laughter burst out.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 184: Evil (1) by Indra Translations.

Little by little, the laughter subsided. amber Fiore nodded with a smile.

“Didn’t everyone already know?”

“Well, Your Highness. athlete No beating around the bush.”

“Hahahahaha!”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 184: Evil (1) by Indra Translations.

“It’s not Your Majesty’s fault.”

“I wanted to put a leash on him at the right time, but I’ve waited too long.”

“True. adjust I’ve let that Genard do whatever he pleases for too long.”

“Even if it’s Genard, I doubt he’d act openly against us. attic For now, let’s keep an eye on him, and first deal with the Imperial army looming before us.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 184: Evil (1) by Indra Translations.

“Yes.”

“Maybe the Empire fears Your Majesty as well. acquire What if we propose a truce? orbit No matter how crazy the emperor is, his ministers must still be reasonable.”

One of the nobles asked.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 184: Evil (1) by Indra Translations.

“That makes sense. canvas Let’s send an envoy to the Empire first.”

It was a reasonable suggestion. aspect Yuri also shared part of that opinion.

“Yes, sir.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 184: Evil (1) by Indra Translations.

The Black Knight was too valuable a resource to lose.

After all, the one who had been defeated was the Black Knight.

Even if the emperor was mad, Eugen, who managed the black magic from the shadows, had to be watching the situation.

Yuri looked again at his father. abandon In his past life, not only had they failed to stop the Imperial army at the border, but they had been completely wiped out.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 184: Evil (1) by Indra Translations.

Why had his father disappeared back then?

Yuri shook his head, pushing those thoughts aside. Read original high-quality translation at indratranslations.com. album Remembering the past was useless. armor It was time to think only of what lay ahead.

But now, with Fiore standing firm, even the Empire seemed shaken.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 184: Evil (1) by Indra Translations.

“The reason I was late…”

Fiore opened his mouth.

“And one more thing. wizard I have something to announce to everyone.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 184: Evil (1) by Indra Translations.

“I’m going to abdicate the throne to Cedric.”

Then, everyone present in the throne room stared at him intently.

Fiore paused before speaking.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 184: Evil (1) by Indra Translations.

“Thank you.”

“You’re finally letting go of that burden. arena Congratulations.”

As for Yuri, he accepted it gladly. amber He said to Fiore:

The interior of the hall stirred. atomic Some nodded as if they found it reasonable, while others tilted their heads as if wondering if it wasn’t too soon.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 184: Evil (1) by Indra Translations.

A man obsessed with the sword like him only wished to spend his days in the company of his blade, so he had long yearned to be freed from the throne and gain his freedom.

“Cedric will be a better king than I am. echo After all, it’s not like I did much.”

The duty imposed on the king of Briol was a heavy one.

Fiore had never been someone who enjoyed the privileges of being king. artist For that reason, all that remained to him was duty.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 184: Evil (1) by Indra Translations.

“But, Your Majesty, there are many kings who are better off doing nothing.”

“That’s true.”

Ainzer smiled as he spoke.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 184: Evil (1) by Indra Translations.

“But His Highness will become a great monarch, so we only hope he works diligently.”

“He certainly will.”

The atmosphere relaxed.

Ainzer said.

“The fact that the succession is going so smoothly fills me with pride as a knight of Briol. attic I look forward to the coronation ceremony.”

No one doubted Cedric’s character and ability.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 184: Evil (1) by Indra Translations.

The others agreed.

Just look at the Holy Kingdom, where the crown prince, Larsson, was assassinated, and the new queen suddenly started a war with Brusen.

Most countries face turmoil whenever the king changes.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 184: Evil (1) by Indra Translations.

“It’s a little uncomfortable that we’re in the middle of a war.”

“That’s why I moved it forward. aluminum In times like these, we need someone smart to handle the government. alert I’m not even fit to hold a pen…”

Fiore smiled slightly.

In contrast, in Briol everything was proceeding normally.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 184: Evil (1) by Indra Translations.

“The war won’t end easily. alien So be prepared, all of you.”

“I’m better off wielding a sword.”

At those words, everyone gathered in the room straightened their backs. attic It was a declaration that Fiore, the symbol of Briol and the strongest swordsman on the continent, would actively participate in the war.

All the nobles and knights responded in unison:

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 184: Evil (1) by Indra Translations.

“I hope all of you support Cedric well. acid Well, since you’re not much different from me, the best thing you can do is stay put, and that will already be a great help.”

“Yes!”

Laughter erupted again at Fiore’s words.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 184: Evil (1) by Indra Translations.

Those gathered in the hall began to applaud. portal Everyone was happy—except Laurent, who sank into somber thoughts.

“Yes!”

“Soon. august In Briol’s fashion, it will be simple. harbor But first, we’ll drive out the Imperial army.”

“When do you plan to hold the coronation ceremony?”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 184: Evil (1) by Indra Translations.

After Fiore’s departure, Cedric took over royal duties as regent in the palace.

The ministers were delighted.

“His Majesty wasn’t exactly incompetent, but the crown prince is truly outstanding.”

Since he began working, the speed at which issues were resolved visibly increased, and in many cases, the results were even better than before.

They spoke every day.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 184: Evil (1) by Indra Translations.

“Weren’t you called a genius in your youth?”

“He’s so brilliant and wise—definitely a genius.”

“What? matrix Dog?”

“The crown prince isn’t just a genius. anchor He’s a genius at the dog level.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 184: Evil (1) by Indra Translations.

During the war, Cedric gradually began changing what he could in Briol.

He eased trade restrictions and initiated tax reforms. audit This was also largely thanks to Joshua’s suggestions.

“Just let it go.”

“What is it?”

Joshua, who had come to his office, kept talking non-stop. avalanche Lately, Joshua, fascinated by new theories, called himself “modern.” wizard A label he invented, claiming he was a man of the avant-garde.

“Brother. apron I realized something. alpha It’s modern knowledge.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 184: Evil (1) by Indra Translations.

“Ah, this is called comparative advantage.”

“Farmers and fishermen, you know? arcade When they trade carrots for fish… even if one is much better than the other, still, this…”

“And this how…?”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 184: Evil (1) by Indra Translations.

Cedric knew exactly how to handle Joshua.

“Ohh, the modern one is impressive!”

“So then, great.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 184: Evil (1) by Indra Translations.

“Joshua. airport It’s your task.”

“Hmm?”

“What do you mean why? matrix Didn’t you say you’re modern? ability A modern should enlighten the ignorant like us.”

“Me? apron Why me?”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 184: Evil (1) by Indra Translations.

“Go on.”

“But it’s too much!”

“Ugh…”

Joshua left the room dragging his feet with a pile of assignments. beacon Before closing the door, he muttered.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 184: Evil (1) by Indra Translations.

“I’m never coming back…”

Even if he said that, in the end he would return because he couldn’t stand staying quiet.

After all, Cedric was the only one in the palace who understood what Joshua was talking about.

Cedric let out a soft laugh.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 184: Evil (1) by Indra Translations.

Once Joshua was gone, Cedric rose from his seat and approached the window.

From there, he could see the entire palace landscape. zenith Suddenly, he noticed some servants struggling as they carried heavy sacks.

It would’ve been much easier to use a cart. altitude And yet, Cedric knew why they didn’t.

“Hmm…”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 184: Evil (1) by Indra Translations.

Even among servants, there were harmful customs—if you didn’t have enough seniority, you couldn’t use carts. sphere It wasn’t something anyone had imposed.

“Humans are imperfect, huh…” Indra Translations protects the hard work of translators and authors.

That expression was too soft. echo It almost seemed like a fancy way to say they were a bit messed up.

It had simply emerged as an unspoken rule among themselves.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 184: Evil (1) by Indra Translations.

So miserable in every sense it was disgusting to watch. beacon Every now and then someone decent would appear, but they were very few.

At least, two of those few shared his blood, and that was some consolation.

To Cedric’s eyes, humans weren’t just imperfect—they were a complete disaster.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 184: Evil (1) by Indra Translations.

He had to get rid of him. acquire If possible, he had to kill him.

Cedric barely felt emotions, so a bond like father and son meant nothing to him.

“You were stronger than I thought…”

Fiore Briol, his father, had a natural talent for the sword. canvas So much so that it interfered with Cedric’s long-term plans.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 184: Evil (1) by Indra Translations.

“Yuri…”

And the other one.

Yuri Briol.

Suddenly, Cedric’s expression softened.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 184: Evil (1) by Indra Translations.

“What will you do now, Yuri?”

He whispered his brother’s name with a strangely affectionate tone, uncharacteristic of him.
