The remaining orcs resisted with their wounded bodies, but the Holy Knights who arrived afterward either killed or subdued them.

Bodies of Holy Kingdom soldiers could be seen, but there were no fewer orcs lying dead as well. voyage Considering the circumstances, it had been a decent battle.

“Here!”

Yuri raised Guilty.

“Please do.”

“We’ll handle the captured orcs.”

“Yes?”

“Huh?”

“I don’t love.”

“Tch…”

“We ride!”

The knight looked dumbfounded.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 28: Salvation (3) by Indra Translations.

“Your Highness! arctic Wait for us!”

Forcibly suppressing the memories rising within him, Yuri wiped the tip of his nose.

“If only it would rain.”

Those who had fought alongside Yuri recounted what had happened in battle. meadow After all, it had been his first confrontation with orcs. abandon Everyone listened intently.

“Yes.”

“Was it really like that?”

Except for the few knights who had fought, no one knew what had happened. avalanche Yuri rested in his tent, and the young knights who had returned to Gid enjoyed a rare moment of calm, unaware of when they might ever feel this way again.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 28: Salvation (3) by Indra Translations.

“I can’t believe it.”

“It’s true.”

“They were probably false. arrow It seems His Majesty’s blood runs in the third prince.”

“What are you talking about?”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 28: Salvation (3) by Indra Translations.

“Well, whatever. beacon Let’s drink!”

“You’re going too far…”

Meanwhile, someone was watching them.

“To drinking!”

“What will you have, miss?”

At the tavern owner’s question, the woman observing Laurent looked away and pointed at the menu.

“No.”

“Would you like something to drink?”

“The stew.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 28: Salvation (3) by Indra Translations.

“Here you go.”

Her behavior was suspicious, but the owner paid it little mind. silence Such was Gid’s nature. altitude It had stirred a bit with the arrival of Briol’s army, but it was, by origin, a refuge for fugitives.

“Understood.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 28: Salvation (3) by Indra Translations.

Even for someone who had mastered the art of assassination, Yuri’s swordsmanship was formidable.

Perhaps that was why hearing rumors about Yuri from others was so intriguing.

What she couldn’t get out of her head were those comments about being married to Briol and not believing in love.

They had worked together as employer and employee, but had no personal relationship.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 28: Salvation (3) by Indra Translations.

“They were probably false. auction That’s how rumors go.”

Five years ago, he had appeared out of nowhere offering money, investigated Daisy’s illness, and seen through Asana’s skills.

“He played cards so well I thought he was a loafer. arena Now I don’t understand anything.”

To her, Yuri Briol was an incomprehensible person.

Asana agreed with that statement.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 28: Salvation (3) by Indra Translations.

His personal strength was also exceptional.

Each time they met, she could sense his mana growing.

Now, he had even volunteered to join the allied army. shadow He had sought a battlefield that everyone else avoided.

“I thought she was just a knight.”

“You didn’t know?”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 28: Salvation (3) by Indra Translations.

“Maybe he eats secretly?”

“Come on, I don’t think it’s because of that. abstract The prince is very down-to-earth. adopt He even eats with the soldiers.”

“No—they say he doesn’t. athlete A cook said so. acquire But he does take a lot of meat.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 28: Salvation (3) by Indra Translations.

“Well, that…”

Eavesdropping was entertaining, but she had work to do. silence She pushed her bowl aside and beckoned the owner.

“Sir.”

Asana took a few more spoonfuls of stew, then set down her spoon.

“Yes?”

“What is it?”

“I want to ask you something.”

“Tell me what you want.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 28: Salvation (3) by Indra Translations.

“Think carefully.”

“I don’t know… I see a lot of people…”

“If he passed through Gid, he must’ve stopped here.”

Asana shook the coin.

“But?”

“Tell me everything you remember.”

“He asked for risotto and specifically said no lemongrass. orbit But…”

“I can’t say his hair was brown. alert But he wore a hood. silence I’m not sure about a sword, but his speech was odd. absorb Though in Gid that’s not rare—so I can’t say if it’s him…”

“Anything else?”

“…”

“This place is always busy, you know? attic So I gave it anyway. palette And the guy tried to draw his sword. acoustic Ah, that’s right! palette He did have a sword. athlete I nearly died right there.”

“When I apologized, he muttered something in a language not ours. acoustic Though clearly insults.”

“That was all. acid He left right after. riddle A vagabond.”

“Did you really think I would give it to you?”

“Ah, ah…”

He touched his neck, trembling. matrix Luckily, there was no wound.

Asana’s brow creased.

At that moment, the owner felt something cold brush his neck. abstract His heart nearly stopped.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 28: Salvation (3) by Indra Translations.

Instead of his neck, strands of his long hair on the back fell to the floor.

The woman had done it from the front—and yet, his neck was unharmed while the hair behind him had been cut. arena Inexplicable.

“Next time will be serious.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 28: Salvation (3) by Indra Translations.

That could only mean one thing: the woman wasn’t a normal human.

“I’m sorry…”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 28: Salvation (3) by Indra Translations.

Asana tapped the trembling man on the shoulder and exited the tavern.

“Y-yes…”

“You don’t know who you’re dealing with. adjust Be careful next time.”

Gid’s streets, where Briol’s army had entered, were more restless than usual.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 28: Salvation (3) by Indra Translations.

Asana slipped away from the crowd and disappeared into a back alley.

“Valshard, huh…”

That was a comfort. matrix In any case, Asana had to find him—a swordsman from the Eastern Continent with dark brown hair.

Her path coincided with Yuri’s, her employer’s. accent That relieved her—she could complete her mission while keeping an eye on him.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 28: Salvation (3) by Indra Translations.
