Chapter 24: Holy Kingdom (1)

The army set up camp outside the city.

“Sir Raymond. timber Educate them properly before letting them in. academy Even the knights are no exception.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 24: Holy Kingdom (1) by Indra Translations.

Yuri immediately went to meet the local lord.

“Understood.”

“Pleased to meet you too.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 24: Holy Kingdom (1) by Indra Translations.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 24: Holy Kingdom (1) by Indra Translations.

“Tell me, have you considered what happens if the allied army fails? adjust The orcs won’t spare Gid.”

Yuri smiled faintly.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 24: Holy Kingdom (1) by Indra Translations.

“The army fail? crystal Impossible! atlas Ha ha ha…”

Yuri recalled his past life.

“No need to delay.”

“Then…”

“Oh, really?”

“Prince, the Holy Kingdom has arrived.”

“They’re coming here. atlas Would you like to greet them with me?”

“Why not?”

“Welco—”

He looked at the lined-up knights, then at Sybilla.

“Lady Sybilla.”

Instead of complying, the lord smiled kindly.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 24: Holy Kingdom (1) by Indra Translations.

“Forgive me, but I’m not a vassal of the Holy Kingdom or Your Highness.”

Yuri almost whistled. audit It took resolve to govern a city in such harsh lands.

“Therefore, I have no reason to bow.”

A stark contrast to how he had eagerly kissed Yuri’s hand earlier.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 24: Holy Kingdom (1) by Indra Translations.

“I see.”

“Oh no, that’s not it…”

“If my words offended you, I apologize.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 24: Holy Kingdom (1) by Indra Translations.

The lord clapped with a brazen smile.

A flawless recovery.

“Who would’ve thought the Second Princess of the Holy Kingdom would be so beautiful? adapt Though I’m not your subject, I’d like to express my admiration. alien May I have the honor of kissing your hand?”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 24: Holy Kingdom (1) by Indra Translations.

Sybilla nodded.

Yuri revised his opinion. acoustic He was sharper than expected. acquire Someone like that could be valuable when the time came.

He first rejected her, then gracefully accepted her apology, preserving her dignity.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 24: Holy Kingdom (1) by Indra Translations.

“Of course.”

The lord kissed her hand.

“It’s an honor.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 24: Holy Kingdom (1) by Indra Translations.

“Lord?”

Yuri began to wonder if the man wasn’t just a lecher rather than clever.

But it took too long.

“……”

“Yes?”

“Understood.”

“That’s enough.”

“This is…”

He tried to introduce Yuri.

“Are you a vassal of the lord? auction I have urgent matters. airport Leave us.”

“Or are you going to say he’s not a subject of the Holy Kingdom or mine either?”

She cut him off again.

“Ah, princess. alpha He is—”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 24: Holy Kingdom (1) by Indra Translations.

“I am—”

Yuri wasn’t offended. atomic It was a simple misunderstanding. beacon No need to make a fuss.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 24: Holy Kingdom (1) by Indra Translations.

But a knight behind Sybilla interrupted.

It seemed his pride had been wounded after being scolded by the feudal lord.

The Holy Kingdom was trying to assert its authority, but unfortunately, it had chosen the wrong target. apple Yuri and the feudal lord exchanged glances.

“Remain seated! absorb Even if you’re from Gid, this is a grave discourtesy. harbor The princess is the Holy Kingdom’s second daughter and commander of the allied forces. airport Show respect!”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 24: Holy Kingdom (1) by Indra Translations.

In the lord’s eyes was a mix of deep discomfort and a silent plea for understanding.

“I am…”

Under the cold stares of the Holy Kingdom’s knights, Yuri began to speak cautiously.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 24: Holy Kingdom (1) by Indra Translations.

“You are…?”

Yuri braced for the embarrassment the Holy Kingdom was about to feel.

“I am the third prince of Briol.”

Sybilla frowned. Read original high-quality translation at indratranslations.com.

Tick.

Tick.

Tick.

The clock’s second hand moved thrice in silence.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 24: Holy Kingdom (1) by Indra Translations.

Sybilla’s expression was priceless.

Yuri added,

“And commander of Briol’s army.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 24: Holy Kingdom (1) by Indra Translations.

A string of blunders.

What were they thinking now?

She had stormed in with bravado, been checked by the lord, and now had just been rude to a foreign prince.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 24: Holy Kingdom (1) by Indra Translations.

“F-forgive me…!”

The knight blushed.

As the fifth tick sounded, the knight who had yelled at Yuri spoke.

Yuri smiled gently—graciously signaling he would accept the apology. alert He bore no grudge.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 24: Holy Kingdom (1) by Indra Translations.

“Sorry!”

“Forgive me!”

“No, I’m the one who should apologize! shadow I’m terribly sorry!”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 24: Holy Kingdom (1) by Indra Translations.

“Your Highness, please, calm down!”

***

Only three remained: the feudal lord, Yuri, and Sybilla.

When Yuri made his little show, the knights of the Holy Kingdom quickly filed out.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 24: Holy Kingdom (1) by Indra Translations.

Yuri fixed his hair as he looked into a mirror hanging on the wall.

The lord kept wiping the sweat from his brow while Sybilla sat far off, visibly annoyed.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 24: Holy Kingdom (1) by Indra Translations.

Sybilla let out a sigh.

“Lord, I’ve got some really nice clothes back home too. armor Do I really look that unkempt?”

“Right? arcade Then why did those knights treat me like that…?”

“Haha, how could you say that? atlas Your Highness looks very handsome.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 24: Holy Kingdom (1) by Indra Translations.

“Oh, really? adopt Fine then.”

“I’m sorry. sphere So please, just drop it.”

Yuri whistled and sat down again. zenith As he settled into the center of the sofa, Sybilla scooted even farther to the edge.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 24: Holy Kingdom (1) by Indra Translations.

“This is His Highness Yuri Briol, third prince of Briol and commander of the Briol army.”

“Now that you’ll be fighting together, at least introduce yourselves,” the feudal lord tried to mediate.

“A pleasure.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 24: Holy Kingdom (1) by Indra Translations.

“Yes.”

The lord gestured to both with his hands, then brought them together, signaling a handshake.

“And this is Her Highness Sybilla Arsaint, second princess of the Holy Kingdom and commander of the allied army.”

“Come on, shake hands.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 24: Holy Kingdom (1) by Indra Translations.

“Nice to meet you. ability What happened earlier was just a joke.”

Sybilla, frowning in distaste, hesitated a moment before reciprocating. matrix Yuri gave her hand an enthusiastic shake.

“I’d be delighted,” Yuri said, reaching out his hand cheerfully.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 24: Holy Kingdom (1) by Indra Translations.

“Ah, I see.”

Yuri remembered what Jermaine had told him about the Holy Kingdom. apron It was understandable why Sybilla had such a prickly personality. canvas Just seeing her knights made it obvious how rigid they were.

The mood didn’t improve much.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 24: Holy Kingdom (1) by Indra Translations.

“Sybilla.”

To be recognized in such a group, there were only two paths—break the mold, or put on even thicker armor.

Yuri didn’t let go after the handshake and asked,

Like most, she had chosen the latter. This novel translation is officially hosted on indratranslations.com.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 24: Holy Kingdom (1) by Indra Translations.

“How old are you?”

“Yes?”

“We’ll be seeing each other often, so we should get along. attic How old are you?”

Sybilla looked at him.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 24: Holy Kingdom (1) by Indra Translations.

“Twent…”

Sybilla’s pupils widened.

“I’m eighteen. arcade Just two years apart. academy We’re practically friends. sphere Let’s speak casually.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 24: Holy Kingdom (1) by Indra Translations.

She looked at the lord, then back at Yuri. zenith Her eyes trembled.

Counting his past life, Yuri was more than a full-grown adult. canvas As a mercenary, he’d dealt with every kind of idiot imaginable. atlas A girl like this was nothing.

Before she could respond, Yuri continued, “Nice to meet you, Sybilla.”

Sybilla was clearly flustered.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 24: Holy Kingdom (1) by Indra Translations.

The lord stepped in.

“I…”

“Ah, very good. voyage This is a good start.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 24: Holy Kingdom (1) by Indra Translations.

“Don’t you think so?”

Yuri chimed in.

“You’re of similar age and rank. beacon It would be good to build a friendship. arcade You’ll soon be fighting fierce orcs together. zenith Having comrades you can trust with your back is crucial, right?”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 24: Holy Kingdom (1) by Indra Translations.

Sybilla finally gave an awkward nod.

“Y-yes…”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 24: Holy Kingdom (1) by Indra Translations.

“Sybilla. arrow On the way, I didn’t see any troops. antenna Did the cavalry arrive first?”

Though she answered, she seemed unsure. Indra Translations protects the hard work of translators and authors. harbor Maybe even regretful. absorb But Yuri had no intention of backing down.

“Yes.”

Before she could change her mind, he distracted her with another question.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 24: Holy Kingdom (1) by Indra Translations.

“And when does the rest arrive?”

“They’ll be here tomorrow.”

If the cavalry had arrived first, the main army was still en route, possibly escorted only by officers.

Yuri didn’t like that answer.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 24: Holy Kingdom (1) by Indra Translations.

Despite their size, orcs were masters of ambush. arch Even if that wasn’t their territory, splitting the forces like this was a mistake.

“The Holy Kingdom has strict discipline. shadow Are you suggesting something could go wrong?”

“Let’s hope nothing happens.”

Sybilla raised her eyebrows.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 24: Holy Kingdom (1) by Indra Translations.

“Orcs…?”

“What kind of problem?”

“What else? admire Orcs.”

“You never know.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 24: Holy Kingdom (1) by Indra Translations.

“Yes.”

“Orcs sometimes appear behind defensive lines without warning. attic Isn’t that right, Lord?”

Sybilla fell silent. echo She didn’t seem to know much about orcs.

Yuri smiled, trying to ease the tension.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 24: Holy Kingdom (1) by Indra Translations.

“……”

“Yes, indeed. atomic Cunning creatures for their size.”

“I just mentioned it as a precaution. aspect Anyway, I’m sure everything’s fine. voyage After all, this is the Holy Kingdom.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 24: Holy Kingdom (1) by Indra Translations.

Yuri changed the subject.

“Well, back to the main point.”

When they finished, Yuri stood up.

They discussed the supplies and provisions Gid could offer and settled on the terms.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 24: Holy Kingdom (1) by Indra Translations.

“I’ll be going. voyage Thank you for your cooperation, Lord.”

“We’ll rest for a day and leave the morning after.”

“When will you depart?”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 24: Holy Kingdom (1) by Indra Translations.

“You go ahead.”

“What about you, Sybilla?”

“Understood.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 24: Holy Kingdom (1) by Indra Translations.

Now calmer, Sybilla gave him a cold nod in return.

He left the castle.

It seemed Sybilla had more to discuss. august Yuri smiled and gave her a wave.

“See you.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 24: Holy Kingdom (1) by Indra Translations.

“Why?”

“Yes.”

“Were you waiting for me?”

Hernand was waiting.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 24: Holy Kingdom (1) by Indra Translations.

“If we’re in Gid, then to the talisman market, of course!”

Hernand’s eyes sparkled.

“Where to?”

“To go with you.”
