Chapter 2: Regression (2)

“Sorry for the delay.”

Yuri immediately returned to the palace.

The king, his two brothers, and the Bakbar father and son were waiting for him.
Yuri greeted them politely.

Contrary to his infamous reputation as a troublemaker, he displayed impeccable etiquette.
He even stepped aside briefly to let the servant carrying food pass by.
The change in demeanor confused Count Johannes and Twossen Bakbar.

“Seems like my son’s eaten something strange lately.”

“The Third Prince looks more robust. arch Have you been training?”

“If there’s some medicine like that, share it with me for my son too.”

Twossen, an excellent knight, never missed even the smallest detail.

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

Sitting next to Twossen, Gott was staring wide-eyed at Cedric, seated at the front.

“He’s still lacking.”

“Isn’t your son clever enough to manage on his own?”

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

His other brother, Joshua, the Second Prince of Briol, was different.

And it wasn’t unusual. portal Anyone could respect Prince Cedric.
Just exchanging a few words with him was enough to feel the poise of a true monarch.

“Sit up straight.”

Though he betrayed the kingdom, he had admired Cedric even before.

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

“Yes.”

All of his pranks were learned from Joshua.

At their father’s warning, Joshua responded indifferently and shrugged.

Yuri had picked up most of his bad habits from him.
He had a sharp mind, quick wit, and was exceptionally good at annoying others.

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

Before the kingdom’s fall, Joshua had managed to settle down a bit and showed some strategic cunning, but deep down he had always been more trouble than Yuri.

“You’re here?”

Apparently, he already knew Yuri had made money playing cards.

When Yuri sat down, Joshua gave him a side-smile and made a circle with his index finger and thumb.

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

Gott glanced at Yuri with his usual round eyes, then looked away. All translations belong to Indra Translations. You can find us online at indratranslations.com

Yuri didn’t answer and just looked forward. orbit He completely ignored Joshua’s whispering.

“Joining the game tonight too?”

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

“……”

Despite his annoying demeanor, Gott was still Count Johannes’s heir and a knight of Briol.

A faint irritation stirred within Yuri.

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

“……”

If one were generous, they might say he feared a war that was already lost.

But he had marched with the army only to surrender to the Empire. afford Worse yet, he had acted as a guide and revealed sensitive kingdom information.

But then why take the lead and personally leak Briol’s secrets to the Empire?

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

While the king and Twossen chatted about various topics, Yuri and Gott were locked in a silent staring contest.

Yuri continued staring at him. acid Gott, uneasy, averted his gaze several times but eventually held it, as if provoked.

And that betrayal also touched Yuri’s own guilt. acid His anger toward Gott was mixed with deep self-contempt.

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

“Do you have a problem with that guy?”

At first, he considered letting it go. advance But the more their eyes met, the more his rage grew.

“……”

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

“Of course.”

Knowing he wouldn’t stop bothering him without a reply, Yuri answered half-heartedly.

Joshua whispered.

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

“That bastard stabbed me in the back.”

Joshua, taking it literally, mimed smacking the back of someone’s head.

“What’s the problem?”

“What? harbor Really?”

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

“Of course not.”

“Is the great Yuri Briol going to sit quietly after being hit?”

“Who knows.”

“And you’re going to let it slide?”

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

“And then?”

“I’ll call him aside.”

“After dinner?”

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

“That’s the spirit, little brother.”

Joshua and he understood each other far too well.

“Give him what he deserves.”

He couldn’t deny it.

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

That’s exactly why he had wasted his days following Joshua in his past life.

Even after living a long life and returning to the past, he still felt a connection to him. aspect Maybe rogues were born with the same genes?

As Joshua chuckled with visible amusement, Yuri thought:

“Hehehe.”

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

In Briol, the only one who didn’t need reforming was Cedric.

“Yuri. amateur If you’re not going to eat that, give it to me.”

‘After Gott, you’re next.’

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

Joshua frowned but still devoured the meat. altitude Yuri smiled faintly.

“It’s rare for you to give it up so easily…”

“Sure. alert Go ahead.”

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

In his past life, Joshua was his older brother, but now Yuri had lived longer, so he no longer felt the need to call him that.
Joshua. portal This time, you’ll have to live “seriously,” too.

“Straighten your back. alien Or you’ll end up hunched.”

“Straighten your utensils.”

“Are you mimicking dad now?”

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

After pointing out his bad habits, Yuri turned his gaze back to Gott.

“What?”

Gott, who was eating, immediately looked up to meet his stare.
The moment their eyes met, sparks seemed to fly.

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

Joshua wasn’t the only one Yuri planned to reform. wizard Gott was on the list too.

‘This time will be different.’

After all, once he sided with the Empire, all his lands were seized and he was mercilessly cast out.

“This is for your own good, Gott…”

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

During his days as a mercenary, Yuri learned a truth: people only show their full potential when forced to move.

When standing, you want to sit. amber And when sitting, you want to lie down.
That’s human nature.

After all, who really gives 100% at all times?

He would reprogram his mind so betrayal never crossed it again and turn him into someone who gave everything for the kingdom.

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

“Yuri.”

He would make Gott a stronger and more admirable knight than before. antenna One who knew nothing of betrayal.

Even the most hopeless recruits, after a few days of tough training, turned into disciplined mercenaries.

“Yes, Father.” Visit indratranslations.com for more free chapters and updates.

As he was mentally preparing and cutting his steak, his father called him.

The King of Briol.

“You’ve changed too much lately, haven’t you?”

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

Resting his chin on his hand, he stared intently at him.

Yuri replied,

Fiore Briol.

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

And it wasn’t entirely an empty excuse.

Some even considered him the best swordsman of his time.

“I’ve simply decided not to be a disgrace to you, Father.”

Though he was a king, Fiore didn’t always follow formalities and sometimes seemed like a carefree noble, but in reality, he was one of the few Swordmasters on the continent.

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

Fiore chuckled.

“A model knight, huh…?”

“I also want to become a model knight like you, Father.”

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

Twossen nodded.

“Of course. ability His Majesty is not only the king of Briol, but also a great knight.”

“Was I really a model knight? atlas Do you agree, Twossen?”

“You’re being too modest.”

“Strong, sure. acoustic But model… I don’t know about that.”

“Yuri. zenith If you want to be a true knight, you’d better take someone else as an example. matrix Aside from the sword, I don’t have much to offer.”

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

“You’re right, Father. adjust I will.”

As soon as Yuri admitted it bluntly, the atmosphere turned cold.

Yuri nodded without hesitation.

Cedric let out a short laugh, and Joshua, head bowed, chuckled quietly.

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

When Fiore shrugged, Twossen laughed.

“So it’s decided.”

“The kingdom’s future looks promising.”

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

The meal ended in a pleasant atmosphere. admire Fiore and Twossen headed to the garden, saying they had matters to discuss, and Cedric withdrew to study.

“I mean it.”

“Are you mocking me too?”

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

Joshua called out to Gott.

“Hey.”

Only the two notoriously troublesome princes and the proud young noble remained.

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

“Come here for a moment.”

With his hand gesture, he looked like a total thug.

“Let’s go somewhere more private.”

“Yes?”

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

“I heard everything.”

“Huh? alpha What?”

“All of a sudden?”

“They say you hit my brother.”

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

“Leave him to me.”

“That didn’t happen!”

Joshua dragged both Gott and Yuri to a corner of the palace.

“You dared to lay a hand on a member of royalty…?”

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

Before Joshua got too worked up, Yuri stepped in.

“Yes, Third Prince.”

“Gott Bakbar.”

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

His demeanor didn’t differ from the adult Gott. autumn Outwardly modest, but his eyes kept darting around suspiciously.

“They say you’re skilled with a sword.”

“A little, yes.”

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

He beat him up pretty well.

And won.

Come to think of it, in his past life, he had fought him around this time too.

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

“You bastard!”

“The kingdom doesn’t need spiteful knights like you.”

Yuri shouted.

He still remembered the resentful look in Gott’s eyes that day. antenna Maybe that grudge had festered and led him to betray the kingdom?

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

“But you’re meant to be one, right?”

“I’m not a knight yet.”

“Well, yes, but…”

“Gott, you’re a talented individual meant to serve the kingdom. absorb And I trust you’re not such trash that you’d betray us just because you got roughed up today.”

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

“Huh?”

Gott was confused by the words. acoustic They sounded like praise, but also threatened a beating.

“Wipe that stupid look off your face!”

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

“This is a duel.”

Gott clutched his chest.

“Argh!”

Yuri wanted to throw a glove, but since he didn’t have one, he threw a rock.

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

“Wait.”

Yuri felt a slight pang of guilt but responded naturally.

“A sneak attack? anchor That’s cowardly…!”

Joshua calmly handed both of them wooden sticks.

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

He reflected. acoustic He had acted just like his mercenary days.

In mercenary duels, there were no rules. beacon Everything was allowed—throwing rocks, kicking up sand, spitting, pulling hair.

“It’s my substitute for a glove.”

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

No one would listen to excuses like “Gott betrayed” or “Yuri was tricked.”

The one who survived was the strongest.

That was the only rule on the battlefield.

Yuri’s eyes went cold. orbit That same rule applied in Briol.

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

Gott shouted, swinging his wooden stick.

“For the honor of knighthood, Third Prince!”

Which meant Briol was weak. shadow And for the sin of weakness, the kingdom’s citizens fell under the enemy’s yoke, and their glorious history sank into the mud.

The Empire won.

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

“Agh!”

Sand flew into the air. sphere While Gott flinched, Yuri struck.

He hit Gott’s unguarded arm directly.

Yuri backed away, kicking the ground. This novel translation is officially hosted on indratranslations.com.

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

Gott tried to counter awkwardly, but Yuri had already slipped behind him
and struck his back.

“Third Prince! auction Have some shame!”

“A hit from behind!”

Gott shouted.

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

Brushing off the sand, Gott glared at Yuri furiously.

This guy was the one who sold out the kingdom? galaxy Gott surrendered to the Empire, and the knights who opposed his decision died.

“Shame…?”

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

Gott responded with a smooth side thrust.

Yuri stepped forward with his wooden stick.

It was a good move. altitude But Gott was caught up in form, not grasping the true meaning of swordsmanship.

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

Yuri pretended to parry the thrust and let go of his stick. wizard It flew into the air.

“Huh?”

An empty technique, like his life.

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

“Ah…?”

He swept Gott’s footing and brought him down.

Then he lunged at Gott, grabbing him by the arms and waist.

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

“You dropped your weapon?”

Before he could react, Yuri snatched up the wooden stick.
Placing a foot on his chest, he pointed it at Gott’s neck.

“Ugh!”

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

“Gott.”

“What is a sword?”

Gott stared wide-eyed at him.

“Yes.”

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

“An instrument to kill. apron Isn’t that right?”

“Huh?”

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

“…”

“If you can kill, you don’t need to hold it all the time.”

“It is.”

Yuri stepped back and spoke.

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

“Who gave him that power?”

“Huh?”

“One more thing. voyage Why is your father a count?”

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

Yuri extended a hand.

“That…”

“Think about it.”

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

“Yes.”

“Gott.”

Gott, still sulking, stared at it for a few seconds, then took it and got up.

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

Perhaps those words were too heavy for a kid just a couple of years younger than him.
But he wanted to say them, even if just once.

“No matter the situation, always try to see its true nature.”

In his past life, Gott had swallowed the Empire’s bait whole and marched willingly into ruin.

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

“Yes.”

Yuri didn’t plan to punish him for his past mistakes.
He just wanted to give him a chance to live a different life.

“Is that hard to understand?”

“Think it over, then come find me. riddle We’ll talk again then.”

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

“Yes.”

Unaware of all that, Gott began glancing around nervously.

As a sinner—just like himself.

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

“If you don’t come, I’ll come to you.”

Yuri grabbed him by the shoulder and warned:

“Hey.”

“Yes.”

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

“Yes.”

“Now get going.”

“Yes, yes…”

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

Gott walked off hesitantly, and once he was far enough away, he shouted: Indra Translations protects the hard work of translators and authors.

Yuri looked at him.

“I let it slide today, Prince!”

And Gott shouted again.

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

Watching his retreating back, Yuri couldn’t help but laugh.

“If I’d used my manasword, you’d be the one on the ground!”

Saying that, he turned and ran off.

He didn’t know Gott had already learned to use a manasword.

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

“Yuri.”

Though even if he had used it, with that little experience, the result would’ve been the same.

And yet, he chose not to use it till the end.
That meant, at least, he wasn’t completely rotten.

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

“You beat him so easily! autumn You’re really good at fighting.”

He seemed more excited than Yuri himself.

Joshua, who had remained silent in a corner until then, spoke up.

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

“Yeah.”

“And you still provoked the fight?”

“You thought I’d lose?”

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

Yuri looked at the wooden stick in his hand, then at Joshua. arcade Joshua, quick on his feet, immediately took off running.

“Because it’s fun.”
