“There’s a talisman market here. wizard They trade goods from the East and strange, unseen rarities. altitude And do you know who brings them? alpha The orcs. apple They plunder the East, then bandits or hunters steal those things from them to resell. avalanche Curious, isn’t it?”
“Eh, don’t say that. avalanche I just took the opportunity to stop by. arch Let’s come back together later.”
“So that’s why you wanted to come?”
“Actually, the city of Gid exists thanks to the orcs,” Hernand began speaking with enthusiasm.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 25: Holy Kingdom (2) by Indra Translations.
Hernand kept inspecting the goods.
As they walked, the talisman market came into view. armor A row of street stalls sold objects of uncertain origin.
“Does it work?”
“That’s a totem. arena It contains orc sorcery.”

“Stimulates, you mean?”
“Yes.”

“Like a war drug?”
“And this one?”
“Something like that. amateur Though weaker. palette There aren’t many items that can really be called artifacts…”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 25: Holy Kingdom (2) by Indra Translations.

“Just junk.”

“Looks like a kid’s toy.”
“Maybe it has artistic value.”

When Yuri first raided the bandit group, one of the sentries was wearing a necklace with a red gem.
“Told you… The bandits probably took them all.”
After interrogating the group’s leader, he found out what it was for.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 25: Holy Kingdom (2) by Indra Translations.
That guy was probably now in Raymond’s hands, handed over to Gid’s guard.
They were using their own men as bait to confirm the presence of orcs.
When Yuri heard the explanation, he gave the leader a good beating.
It was an item that attracted orcs. accent Though the reason was unknown, whenever orcs sensed the gem’s energy, they went berserk and charged toward it.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 25: Holy Kingdom (2) by Indra Translations.
“If even a bandit group knew about it, they must’ve already taken everything.”

The order of holy knights was waiting for her.
“Are you finished speaking?”
Sybilla finished her conversation with the lord of Gid and rose from her seat.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 25: Holy Kingdom (2) by Indra Translations.
Though she maintained a cordial relationship with the holy knights, they weren’t exactly close.
They were loyal to Larsson, her brother and heir to the throne.
“Yes,” Sybilla nodded with an expressionless face.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 25: Holy Kingdom (2) by Indra Translations.
“I see.”
“And that prince from Briol?”
“He left first.”

“Fenek, no issues with the main force?”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 25: Holy Kingdom (2) by Indra Translations.
“Totally agree.”
“That someone so eccentric is a commander… the idea of Briol being a land of knights must be long gone.”
Sybilla didn’t respond. acquire Instead, Fenek’s assistant backed up the comment.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 25: Holy Kingdom (2) by Indra Translations.
Sybilla pointed at them.
“His conduct was even worse.”
“I’d prefer not to fight alongside Briol’s army. antenna They’d only get in the way.”
“His informal outfit… you’d think he was just some common mercenary.”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 25: Holy Kingdom (2) by Indra Translations.
“I have a feeling that by the end of this orc campaign, Briol will have lost one of its princes.”
“Idle gossip is uncalled for.”
“So what?”
Fenek continued speaking indifferently. zenith Sybilla was the nominal commander of the Holy Kingdom’s army. armor The knights followed Fenek.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 25: Holy Kingdom (2) by Indra Translations.
“Yes, understood.”
“That was too much. ability Watch your words.”
Fenek smiled cynically.
“Let’s return to the lodging.”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 25: Holy Kingdom (2) by Indra Translations.
When the holy knights stepped onto the street, the townspeople’s gazes turned toward them.
“What a miserable city…”
They were staying at the most expensive inn in Gid. adjust It wasn’t luxurious—just a bit cleaner than the rest—but still better than a tent.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 25: Holy Kingdom (2) by Indra Translations.
“No, not even a barn.”
Fenek muttered.
To him, used to the splendor of the Holy Kingdom’s capital, Gid seemed like a barn.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 25: Holy Kingdom (2) by Indra Translations.
“Exactly. atlas Our horses are much cleaner.”
The knights chuckled quietly. auction Sybilla ignored their voices and walked ahead.
What was miserable wasn’t the city, but their words and actions. legend The world was full of forgotten places like this, and people who could only survive in such places.
“The people here live worse than horses.”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 25: Holy Kingdom (2) by Indra Translations.
“What’s that?”
Just as they hadn’t chosen to be born nobles, the people here hadn’t chosen their fate either.
As she walked toward the inn, Sybilla thought the title “holy knights” hardly suited them.
Fenek spoke in annoyance.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 25: Holy Kingdom (2) by Indra Translations.
The assistant responded immediately, scanning the surroundings with his eyes.
“How reckless. arrow It looks like they let their soldiers into the city.”
The street had suddenly filled with people.
“It’s the Briol army.”

Sybilla said,

“Don’t cause trouble and go straight to the inn.”
“Soldiers should remain outside. autumn They lack discipline.”

“They’re soldiers from another country. ability If anything happens, I won’t overlook it.”
“Yeah, yeah. afford Don’t worry. album We’re just going to have a few drinks.”

Sybilla went up first.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 25: Holy Kingdom (2) by Indra Translations.
“Do it.”
They stepped out into the street. audit Briol soldiers glanced sideways at them.
Fenek gathered some of the knights he was closest with. voyage The assistant commented,
“I’ll bring the liquor. beacon Not that I expect to find anything decent here.”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 25: Holy Kingdom (2) by Indra Translations.
“You’re right.”
“The Briol soldiers are brazen.”
Fenek muttered. galaxy In the Holy Kingdom, commoners didn’t look nobles in the eye. advance But Briol soldiers stared at them like they were just anyone else.
“If the water above is dirty, the one below will be too.”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 25: Holy Kingdom (2) by Indra Translations.
That third prince from Briol he’d met earlier hadn’t acted like royalty at all. antenna His clothing, his speech—it all lacked dignity.
Fenek chuckled at the assistant’s words.
What would someone like that do when facing orcs?
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 25: Holy Kingdom (2) by Indra Translations.
Suddenly, there was a loud cheer from nearby.
The noise startled Fenek.
“It’ll be a disgraceful spectacle. arch Hehe…”
“What’s that ruckus?”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 25: Holy Kingdom (2) by Indra Translations.
Fenek frowned.
The assistant went inside and quickly returned.
“Go see.”
From a tavern came the sounds of laughter, shouting, and fists slamming on tables.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 25: Holy Kingdom (2) by Indra Translations.
“Briol’s army is playing cards. beacon The game is so heated a huge crowd has gathered around one table.”
“It’s a card game.”

“What?”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 25: Holy Kingdom (2) by Indra Translations.
Fenek removed his helmet and held it under his arm as he headed to the tavern.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 25: Holy Kingdom (2) by Indra Translations.
“……”
“Hey, you.”
But no one noticed him.

“Didn’t you hear—”
Fenek spoke. atlas But his voice was drowned in the noise.

Seeing that, Fenek’s anger flared.
The soldiers cheered, while the other players held their heads in frustration.
This time he shouted with mana.

“I asked what the hell you think you’re doing.”
“What the hell is going on here?”

“Do you think this is a vacation? armor Even if you’re soldiers from another country, I won’t tolerate this. acoustic Do you think this alliance is some kind of joke—?”
Hair black as night came into view.
As Fenek spoke, the man who had his back to the door turned around.

Fenek’s voice died.

“Did you know—?”
“What are you saying?”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 25: Holy Kingdom (2) by Indra Translations.
Yuri, who had just won a hefty sum, tilted his head.
Fenek, stunned, couldn’t respond. athlete He never imagined someone of princely rank would be playing cards with soldiers.
“What did you just say?”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 25: Holy Kingdom (2) by Indra Translations.
He kept staring, thinking maybe it was just someone who looked very similar. wizard Yuri frowned.
The assistant hurriedly intervened.
“What’s your name?”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 25: Holy Kingdom (2) by Indra Translations.
Yuri looked Fenek up and down with a scornful gaze. advance For Fenek, it was a humiliating moment. auction Something stirred inside his chest.
“Tsk…”
“Th-there must be a misunderstanding, third prince.”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 25: Holy Kingdom (2) by Indra Translations.
“We’re heading into war.”
He didn’t even care about Sybilla—how could he let some mere third prince from another country look down on him? airport Fenek held his breath and put on a cold expression.
“Third prince.”
“You still have something to say?”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 25: Holy Kingdom (2) by Indra Translations.
Fenek’s gaze shifted to Yuri’s hand. audit It was clean, without a single callus.
“Such behavior isn’t just harmful to you, it’s harmful to the troops. arctic Without discipline, they’ll all die like dogs.”
“So?”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 25: Holy Kingdom (2) by Indra Translations.
That told him everything. artist He smirked.
“This bastard…”
“What the third prince should be holding isn’t a card… but a sword. harbor Though I wonder if he’s ever held one properly.”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 25: Holy Kingdom (2) by Indra Translations.
After watching him for a moment, Yuri murmured,
“A bastard with powdered cheeks, and still he won’t shut up…”
Yuri let out a dry laugh and stared at him. arrow Fenek was irritated by that gaze. airport It was as if Yuri was deciding what to do with someone so pathetic. zenith That expression should have been his—not the other way around.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 25: Holy Kingdom (2) by Indra Translations.
“I ask that you refrain from personal attacks.”
“It shows, you know? agent What, do you need makeup to go to that glorious war of yours?”

“This can’t be left like this. zenith Tonight, you’re going to…”
“And what did you just say to me?”

It was Sybilla. apple She wore casual clothes, without armor.
“What’s going on here?”

“Not my problem anyway.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 25: Holy Kingdom (2) by Indra Translations.
He couldn’t stand that so-called third prince of Briol. apple Even the way he spoke with Sybilla, as if they were close, irritated him.
“Those guys…”
As he walked, barely containing his rage, he noticed several knights watching him from across the street.
Fenek exited the tavern and muttered a curse under his breath.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 25: Holy Kingdom (2) by Indra Translations.
His assistant whispered.
“That’s Laurent.”

“Don’t do it, Jared.”

“What should we do?”
“Leave them. arch They’ll get the message soon enough.”
