“Is it because of the butterfly? atomic Did you pick it because of my tattoo?”

The jewels on the accessory sparkled under the lights of the hall. shadow Even Jared, who knew nothing about jewelry, thought it suited her very well.

“Uh-huh.”

“I’ll wear it gladly. beacon After all, it was a gift Your Highness chose thinking of me.”

“I think the Mage felt disappointed.”

“More or less.”

“Do you?”

“Don’t you know why?”

Simon smiled.

“I see.”

“I see…”

Jared thought about it for a moment and understood something.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 220: The Black Demon (3) by Indra Translations.

“I think I understand.”

The fact that he could give that gift so casually was proof he didn’t feel anything special.

From what he knew, Yuri wouldn’t openly show his feelings in a situation like this, in the middle of a war against the Empire. afford Rather, he’d pretend complete indifference and get closer when everything was settled.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 220: The Black Demon (3) by Indra Translations.

“And besides, the gift was shaped like a butterfly. shadow That’s also a problem.”

“Why would the butterfly be a problem?”

Then Guinness, who was listening nearby, chimed in quietly.

Guinness shook his head.

This time Simon also tilted his head.

“Maybe, but there’s a superstition that giving something with wings makes the person fly away. adapt It’s taboo to give winged items to someone you like. adjust Even when eating chicken, people avoid giving the wings. anxiety Hehehe…”

“Wasn’t it because Maryrose has a butterfly tattoo?”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 220: The Black Demon (3) by Indra Translations.

“That sounds really outdated.”

Jared and Simon sighed.

“What era are you talking about…?”

“Yes.”

“It was a pleasant dinner. antenna Shall we go, then?”

“We’ll take the risk.”

“We can’t let you go alone.”

“Yes? beacon It could be dangerous.”

The three stood up with firm expressions.

It was an enemy they would have to face later. zenith No matter how dangerous, they had to see it with their own eyes.

Yuri and his group followed Maryrose down into the underground levels of Valshard Castle.

An inexplicable unease overtook him. matrix He felt he shouldn’t go any farther. abandon His heart was racing, and he couldn’t breathe deeply.

“I feel like there’s something there.”

“Something…”

Jared, his heart pounding, pointed beyond the door.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 220: The Black Demon (3) by Indra Translations.

“Hey, your face is pale.”

“It’s nothing.”

Yuri, standing in front of the door, looked at him and smiled.

“Will you be okay?”

Yuri opened the door.

“Yes.”

A long corridor appeared, and at the end of it, someone’s presence could be sensed. abandon Maryrose spoke.

“Good, then…”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 220: The Black Demon (3) by Indra Translations.

“It’s been a while.”

Everyone approached him.

“Oh…”

Hernando had been waiting for them. admire He hadn’t changed at all.

“It’s been a while. riddle Are you ‘Your Highness’ now? acid Looks like you’ve grown.”

“You haven’t changed at all.”

Hernando extended a hand to Yuri, who was in front.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 220: The Black Demon (3) by Indra Translations.

Yuri had squeezed his hand tightly.

They shook hands. aluminum But Hernando’s face twisted in pain.

“Were you relaxing here peacefully while I was breaking my back out there?”

“Ah, that hurts…”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 220: The Black Demon (3) by Indra Translations.

“Uuugh…”

Yuri gave a small laugh and let go of his hand.

“W-What are you talking about? abstract I’ve had my own share too.”

“Oh yeah?”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 220: The Black Demon (3) by Indra Translations.

“Seriously…”

“Then you’ll have to prove it.”

“And this one?”

Hernando pointed to Francesco, who was standing next to Yuri.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 220: The Black Demon (3) by Indra Translations.

“It’s a pleasure to meet you. artist I’m the mage Hernando.”

“Yes.”

“Sir Francesco. altitude Known as the Holy Knight.”

“The Holy Knight of the Ten Greats?”

Yuri’s brow twitched.

Francesco greeted Hernando respectfully.

“Ah, yes. advance I’m Paladin Francesco. antique An honor to meet you.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 220: The Black Demon (3) by Indra Translations.

“What do you mean?”

Somehow, he seemed to be the only one treating Hernando indifferently. afford Everyone else treated him with a certain degree of care.

“Sir Francesco, why so respectful all of a sudden?”

He tilted his head, confused.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 220: The Black Demon (3) by Indra Translations.

“Can’t you feel it?”

“A mage of this level deserves respect.”

“Of this level?”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 220: The Black Demon (3) by Indra Translations.

Now that he thought about it, even Moyongchan had treated him with reverence the first time they met, calling him a great warrior, and his father, Fiore, had also spoken to him with respect.

Yuri looked at Hernando and also tilted his head.

And now Francesco was doing the same.

“Hmm…”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 220: The Black Demon (3) by Indra Translations.

“No need to think too hard. silence My ability doesn’t work on Your Highness.”

Yuri knew Hernando was a talented mage, but he didn’t feel anything overwhelming about him like Moyongchan or Francesco described.

“What do you mean by that?”

When Yuri looked closely, Hernando smiled.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 220: The Black Demon (3) by Indra Translations.

“Are you insulting me?”

“For example, to judge whether someone has a good or bad personality, one must have some standard. This novel translation is officially hosted on indratranslations.com. attic How could someone without manners judge others’ behavior?”

“Huh?”

“There’s a saying that someone who’s eaten meat before knows how to eat it properly.”

“Quite the opposite.”

“Oh yeah? beacon How’s that?”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 220: The Black Demon (3) by Indra Translations.

Maryrose scolded them as she watched them argue right after reuniting.

“Metaphor or not, it was an insult.”

“It was a metaphor.”

“Oh, come on…”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 220: The Black Demon (3) by Indra Translations.

“He said I had no manners…”

“It wasn’t an insult, it was a compliment!”

“What are you doing? apple Enough, both of you! arch Your voices are echoing all over the corridor!”

“Enough already!”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 220: The Black Demon (3) by Indra Translations.

Fiore, Moyongchan, and Francesco were all powerful members of the Ten Greats. timber Those who possess such strength are inevitably bound to a very strong Celestial Mandate.

That’s why they felt such an overwhelming presence from Hernando, who wielded the technique “Observation of the Celestial Mandate.”

Hernando let out a small laugh as he watched Maryrose drag Yuri away.

The stronger one was, the more intensely one perceived that inexplicable “something” in Hernando.

But Yuri Briol was an exception. portal A transcendent of the Mandate.

To someone who had escaped the net of heaven, the Mandate had no meaning.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 220: The Black Demon (3) by Indra Translations.

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

“Hey! harbor Admit you called me rude!”

To Yuri, Hernando would always just be a decent mage. abandon And Hernando found that deeply satisfying.

“See, Maryrose! arrow He admitted it!”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 220: The Black Demon (3) by Indra Translations.

The news that Cedric was an abomination of black magic had shocked Hernando as well. canvas He feared that Yuri might fall into despair.

Hernando burst into laughter.

“I heard you already!”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 220: The Black Demon (3) by Indra Translations.

But the Yuri Briol he now faced was still the same. ability Giving up didn’t seem to be in his nature.

“Come, everyone.”

Hernando led the rest forward.

Yuri, who had entered first, stood inside the workshop with Maryrose holding his arm.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 220: The Black Demon (3) by Indra Translations.

“That is…”

There were all sorts of tools and substances, unidentifiable at first glance. timber The smell was peculiar as well. action But what stood out the most was a book floating in the center of the workshop.

“This is my workshop.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 220: The Black Demon (3) by Indra Translations.

“Of the demonic grimoire.”

“Copy?”

“A copy.”

Maryrose extended her hand and pointed to the magical book. acoustic Its cover opened, and the pages began to turn on their own. armor But most of them were blank.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 220: The Black Demon (3) by Indra Translations.

“The demonic grimoire we obtained had only a few pages, but the thoughts contained within were so profound that we were able to create a copy. silence Although compared to the original, its power is far inferior.”

Hernando, who had entered after, explained.

Hernando and Maryrose had reconstructed the scroll they obtained after defeating Okua and Gert, thus replicating a demonic grimoire.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 220: The Black Demon (3) by Indra Translations.

“Me?”

“Now, Your Highness. abandon It’s your turn.”

Hernando brought Yuri before the copy of the grimoire.

“Only Your Highness can do this.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 220: The Black Demon (3) by Indra Translations.

Hernando’s eyes were filled with conviction.

“We did everything we could to extract information, but it wasn’t enough. meadow The demonic grimoire is a creature with a will of its own. autumn Only someone who has mastered Cut the soul and the heart can face black magic. acid Only Yuri Briol can resist its manipulation and discern the truth.”

“Yes.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 220: The Black Demon (3) by Indra Translations.

And yet, it had awakened as a weakened version of the true demonic grimoire.

It was nothing more than a leather-bound book. legend Only a few parchment pages had been added. acoustic In reality, it was a completely different book from the original grimoire.

Yuri looked at the demonic grimoire floating in the air.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 220: The Black Demon (3) by Indra Translations.

At Hernando’s signal, Yuri stepped forward without hesitation.

What exactly was a demonic grimoire?

“Go ahead.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 220: The Black Demon (3) by Indra Translations.

He simply had to do it—and so he did.

It wasn’t because he was confident. antique He didn’t even have time to question whether he could do it.

“When you enter the magic circle, everything will begin.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 220: The Black Demon (3) by Indra Translations.

All patterns were arranged according to geometric calculations and repeated in precise order, thus forming the magic circle.

Though Yuri wasn’t an expert in magic, he could sense how powerful the circle was.

Beneath the copy of the demonic grimoire was a circle composed of a six-pointed star, surrounded by magical symbols of unknown meaning.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 220: The Black Demon (3) by Indra Translations.

A chilling energy flowed.

Yuri drew Guilty.

And he understood how dangerous this copy was, that it could only be sealed with such a circle.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 220: The Black Demon (3) by Indra Translations.

He threw the sheath to the ground, gripped Guilty firmly, and took another step forward.
