Chapter 205: Friends (3)

The townspeople looked around as if expecting an imminent attack and, upon seeing Yuri’s group, averted their gazes with fearful expressions.

“What’s going on here? acquire Has this place always been like this?”

But what they were seeing now looked far too much like the Empire.

Though different from Briol, the Sacred Realm was also known for having a relatively low level of discrimination, being based on divine teachings.

Yuri clicked his tongue.

In the imperial capital where Yuri had been, most were nobles or wealthy, so inequality wasn’t as visible. harbor But in other regions of the Empire, treatment varied drastically by status.

Once inside the castle, Yuri’s group stayed at a nearby inn, per Fenek’s instructions.

From the looks exchanged with the innkeeper, Yuri guessed that this inn was connected to the secret organization Fenek had mentioned.

There were rows of white buildings reminiscent of a temple, and statues praising God stood on every corner.

“Does that mean we’re not safe elsewhere?”

“We’ll move at night. academy Holy Knight is waiting.”

“So what now?”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 205: Friends (3) by Indra Translations.

“Yes. galaxy Until then, stay hidden here.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 205: Friends (3) by Indra Translations.

“Follow me quietly.”

Yuri strapped his sword Guilty to his waist and left the room.

“Only we’re going.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 205: Friends (3) by Indra Translations.

In the Sacred Realm’s citadel, most places closed at night, but this one was still packed with patrons.

Yuri sat beside Fenek.

Before long, they arrived at a lit tavern.

“What is this? apple Did we come to drink?”

“I’ll be back.”

“What cover?”

“No. advance Wait here for a bit. atom We’re setting up our cover.”

Fenek tapped the table and got up.

“Hey!”

A waiter came over.

“Look at this broad chest of mine! arena This table’s already small just for me! avalanche And now you wanna sit here too? sphere You think I’m gonna be comfortable or what? amber Get lost already!”

“Pardon?”

“And who the hell are you to sit at my table without asking, huh?”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 205: Friends (3) by Indra Translations.

“What a nasty guy! riddle Are you seriously saying there’s no space at this table? admire Are you for real?”

“Brother!”

“It’s not that…”

“You looking down on me ‘cause I’m alone? canvas You look like you’ve trained hard, so you think you can treat me like this just ‘cause I’m skinny?”

He yelled toward the tavern entrance.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 205: Friends (3) by Indra Translations.

“What?”

And instantly, a huge, muscular guy marched in and stood in front of Yuri.

“This jerk insulted me.”

“What’s up, brother?”

“Why are you lying?”

“Would you look at this guy…!”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 205: Friends (3) by Indra Translations.

He understood their intention. arctic They wanted to take the seat from an easy target—and that target was him.

“The best brewery is the Cavalry Brewery of Briol, gentlemen.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 205: Friends (3) by Indra Translations.

Then, the second brother—the big guy who looked like a bandit—extended his palm.

“What I saw just now wasn’t three thugs trying to steal my seat, but three lonely men looking for a place for themselves—even if it’s in a tavern like this.”

Silence took hold of the table.

They seemed to know each other. arcade Yuri looked at both of them with suspicion.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 205: Friends (3) by Indra Translations.

“Huh?”

***

“That man is Holy Knight.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 205: Friends (3) by Indra Translations.

As soon as he sat down, Yuri pointed to the three men whose faces were still red from alcohol and asked:

Despite what the outside suggested, the interior was spacious and clean.

They left the tavern, walked down a nearby alley, opened a rickety door, and descended into a basement.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 205: Friends (3) by Indra Translations.

“Yes.”

Fenek, sitting beside him, nodded.

“You’re telling me this guy is Holy Knight? antenna Seriously?”

“And this is Umstein, a dwarf.” Indra Translations protects the hard work of translators and authors.

“What?”
