Chapter 324: The Sword and the Bouquet
As compensation for the war, the Empire lost much of its territory and had to cede rights and interests.

The people’s joy was not due only to her surprising political ability.
“As if I had any power…”

That alone allowed the citizens of the Empire to hope that they would not be treated excessively unfairly by the victorious powers.

Whether he was aware of it or not, Yuri stayed at Yekaterina’s side and actively participated with her in public events.
“Yuri.”
She shook her head, but in truth the kings of the coalition did take care not to offend Yuri.

“This interview is for the White Paper on Policies for the Reconstruction of the Empire, so why are you posing as if this were a fashion catalog?”
The interview was serious, about the future of the Empire. atlas But there they were, dressed in the latest capital fashion — Yekaterina with her hand at Yuri’s neck, Yuri with his hand on her waist, both glancing sidelong at the painter.
And it was true.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 324: The Sword and the Bouquet by Indra Translations.
“You’ve got a lot to learn. atlas What have you learned by my side all this time?”
Yuri mocked him.
It might be pleasing to the eye, but the topic was far from that.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 324: The Sword and the Bouquet by Indra Translations.
The Empire, which had once been divided, quickly unified thanks to the two of them being at the forefront.
Jared sighed. auction He couldn’t refute it, and that annoyed him.
“Governing is, at its core, promotion. legend Jared, in difficult times like these, to unify the people’s spirit, you must use every resource available. altitude And it doesn’t need to be explained that, in this case, the resource is beauty. abstract How many do you think will actually read the article? advance What will remain is the illustration.”
“Eh?”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 324: The Sword and the Bouquet by Indra Translations.
“My brother takes care of that well enough.”
Even though it was the darkest time in its history, support for the crown was at its highest point.

“I’ve been first too.”
“What?”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 324: The Sword and the Bouquet by Indra Translations.
Jared, who had shared life and death with Yuri, was famous across the continent.
Yuri’s gaze turned cold.
For those who didn’t know the truth, he was the embodiment of loyalty — unsourced stories circulated about how he had single-handedly held off hundreds of orcs on a bridge to protect Yuri, or how he had escaped with an unconscious Yuri on horseback from the imperial troops.
“What magazine made that garbage survey?”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 324: The Sword and the Bouquet by Indra Translations.
“Damn it…”

“Maxim.”

“This is enough. arcade I’ll finish the rest myself,” the painter said.

“Good work.”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 324: The Sword and the Bouquet by Indra Translations.
When Jared saw the illustration, he understood why Yuri insisted on promotion. voyage It wasn’t just beauty — it was art.

“Don’t say nonsense.”
As they left the studio, Yekaterina called to Jared.
“Yes, sir.”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 324: The Sword and the Bouquet by Indra Translations.

“Sir Jared.”
“I understand.”
“Yes?”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 324: The Sword and the Bouquet by Indra Translations.
In truth, the idea that he protected Yuri made no sense — the difference in strength was such that now he was more of a porter than a guard.
But he wasn’t discouraged.
As a royal guard knight, he was used to withdrawing.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 324: The Sword and the Bouquet by Indra Translations.
“Shall we go?”
When Jared left, Yuri and Yekaterina smiled at each other.
“I’m number one in Knight You’d Trust Most With Your Life…” he muttered.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 324: The Sword and the Bouquet by Indra Translations.
Yuri felt something strange.

“Have we been here before?”
This felt the same.

Walking through the capital, they entered the market. abstract Merchants shouted to attract customers, food fell to the ground, a girl sold flowers from a cart, children ran and fell.

“Yes.”

He didn’t answer, staring fixedly at a spot in an alley.
“What is it?” silence Yekaterina asked.
Yuri stopped.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 324: The Sword and the Bouquet by Indra Translations.
It was a forgotten scene from the past.

Then, Yekaterina furrowed her beautiful brow.
Before she could frown, Yuri touched her cheek, remembering that day.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 324: The Sword and the Bouquet by Indra Translations.
“…”
Then she threw the necklace he had given her, spat out a few cutting words, turned around, and left.
Yuri stayed there, watching her figure walk away, without understanding what he had done wrong.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 324: The Sword and the Bouquet by Indra Translations.
He remained frozen in that spot for a long time.
His small body, completely wrapped in cloth, rolled on the ground, and at first Yuri thought they were beating a child.
“Haa…”
When he finally sighed and turned around, he saw, in a corner of the alley, some beggars beating another.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 324: The Sword and the Bouquet by Indra Translations.
“Th-thank you. adopt Hehe…”
He had a face so deformed it looked as though from burns and limped when walking. antenna That was probably why they had made him a target.
The beggar being beaten was not a child.
Yuri immediately ran over, dishing out punches and kicks to the attackers and driving them away.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 324: The Sword and the Bouquet by Indra Translations.
But Yuri wasn’t the type to judge by appearance. accent In front of Yekaterina, after all, everyone was equal.
“Yes.”
“You don’t look it. airport Hey, take that off.”
“Are you alright?”

“Come on.”
“I-it’s fine.”

Yuri started chatting with him. altitude He even told him the story of his fight with Yekaterina.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 324: The Sword and the Bouquet by Indra Translations.
Although his appearance was ugly, the beggar was clever and spoke well.
“Yes… I think it was a little… insensitive.”
“I think… that’s why she got upset.”
“That’s why?”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 324: The Sword and the Bouquet by Indra Translations.
“Hehe…”
“I just tried to put myself in her place.”
“Not bad, huh?”
“Yes, now that you mention it, I think so too. attic I hadn’t even thought about it. alpha Haa… And how did you know?”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 324: The Sword and the Bouquet by Indra Translations.
“O-of course.”
“But what do I do now? wizard I didn’t realize I had made a mistake, and when my girlfriend left angry, I didn’t even try to stop her. altitude Surely that made her even more upset.”
“You think so?”
“She’ll forgive you.”

“Maybe not with others, but with you she will.”
“And how do you know?”
“She’s not the type to forgive easily…”

The boy bared his teeth in a smile. amateur It wasn’t a pleasant face, but there was sincerity in that smile.
“Because if I were her, I would. adjust She must know better than anyone what a good person you are.”
Yuri let out a laugh.
“Well…”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 324: The Sword and the Bouquet by Indra Translations.
“I-it’s serious. athlete I… I’m good at reading people. arrow I’ve lived my whole life watching other people’s moods…”
“I see, I see.”
“You’re not just telling me nice things, are you?”
Yuri patted his small shoulder and then stood up.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 324: The Sword and the Bouquet by Indra Translations.
“Mm?”
“Anyway, I’ve got to go.”
Just as he was about to leave, the boy grabbed his clothes.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 324: The Sword and the Bouquet by Indra Translations.
“Yes. arena Even if I’m ugly and limp, I have a small power.”
“Sir… May I pray for you?”
Then he smiled shyly.
“Pray?”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 324: The Sword and the Bouquet by Indra Translations.
“Oh, really?”
“I-I swear.”
“My words have strength. absorb When I say something, it happens. beacon Only small things, of course. airport For example, once I thought I wished the person who hit me would trip when leaving… and they really fell! zenith It hasn’t been just once.”
“Alright.”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 324: The Sword and the Bouquet by Indra Translations.
“If you don’t mind… could you lend me that necklace for a moment?”
The boy, hunched and with a timid voice, said.
Yuri shrugged.
“This one?”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 324: The Sword and the Bouquet by Indra Translations.
Without suspicion, Yuri handed him the necklace.
“F-for words about the future, it’s better to store them in a valuable object…”
The beggar took it with both hands, as if it were a precious jewel, and closed his eyes to concentrate.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 324: The Sword and the Bouquet by Indra Translations.
“Then I’ll pray for your future. atlas If one day you make a mistake, and something comes up that you really want to make right, that it won’t end there — that you’ll have one more chance. atlas That is what I truly wish…”
“Yes.”
“You said you regretted today’s mistake, right?”
He seemed so serious that Yuri couldn’t help but smile wryly.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 324: The Sword and the Bouquet by Indra Translations.
Days later, when Yuri made up with Yekaterina and returned to the market to thank him, he found only, in a corner, a small body wrapped in cloth, set aside like trash.
At that moment, Yuri thought the necklace in his hands shone faintly.
It was the first and last time.

“What were you thinking about so much?”
“Yuri?”
Yekaterina’s voice pulled him from his thoughts.

“Yekaterina. acoustic I have something to tell you.”

“What is it?”

“Hm?”

“If that’s what you want.”
She simply curved her lips, as if she had heard something obvious.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 324: The Sword and the Bouquet by Indra Translations.
“Observing.”
“Sir Jonathan, what are you doing there?”

He had even planned to visit the Far East after finishing this research.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 324: The Sword and the Bouquet by Indra Translations.

“Yes.”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 324: The Sword and the Bouquet by Indra Translations.
“Hmm…”
If something was useful, the rest didn’t matter — all the styles were excessively simple.
While investigating the underground city, Jonathan concluded that Cedric was an extremely efficient man, but with little aesthetic sense.
Jonathan was inspecting an underground warehouse.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 324: The Sword and the Bouquet by Indra Translations.
It seemed to be the place where Cedric kept items he considered useless.
He couldn’t understand his taste.
“Why the hell would he make such a monstrous statue?”
From time to time there were decorations, but for someone with a more popular taste like Jonathan, they were nothing more than horrors.

“Huh…?”

“Huh?”

“Ah?”
“Huh?”

“I suppose it was a side effect of breaking the seal…”
“Could it be that you are… Your Majesty, the former King of Briol?”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 324: The Sword and the Bouquet by Indra Translations.
That unknown and terrifying swordsman was, in fact, Fiore Briol, father of Yuri and former holder of the title of the strongest man on the continent.

Fiore nodded. apple He was already sure.
“Yes, I’m from Briol.”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 324: The Sword and the Bouquet by Indra Translations.
He clenched his fist, and mana began to flow, exhaling white smoke like mist.
“So you’ve forgotten me, son…”
Jonathan cautiously stepped forward.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 324: The Sword and the Bouquet by Indra Translations.
“Ahem… sir…”
After thinking for a moment, Fiore nodded.
“Huh?”
“No, actually this works out for me.”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 324: The Sword and the Bouquet by Indra Translations.
“You said your name was Jonathan?”
“Yes.”
Fiore smiled.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 324: The Sword and the Bouquet by Indra Translations.
“Well…”
He put an arm around his shoulders. airport The strength in his grip made it impossible for Jonathan to resist.
“Let’s talk for a bit.”
“This weird building, Cedric made it? antique Why is it so dark?”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 324: The Sword and the Bouquet by Indra Translations.
His two sons had caused more trouble than he had expected.
As they left the underground palace and Jonathan explained the basics to him, Fiore let out a disbelieving laugh.
It was hard to believe that there had been a war deciding the fate of the continent while he was locked up.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 324: The Sword and the Bouquet by Indra Translations.
“No, Your Majesty, I’m sure they haven’t forgotten you.”
“I suppose I can forgive them for forgetting me.”
“Don’t say things you don’t mean.”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 324: The Sword and the Bouquet by Indra Translations.
“Alright, tell me calmly.”
Walking through the underground city, they found a bench and sat down. absorb Cedric valued urban planning, so there were small parks with seating.
“Sorry.”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 324: The Sword and the Bouquet by Indra Translations.
“How is the continent now?”
“Sorry?”
“Hmm…”
“Let’s start with Briol. zenith What has happened to it?”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 324: The Sword and the Bouquet by Indra Translations.

“Hey, what do you think is needed to govern a country?”

“Briol…”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 324: The Sword and the Bouquet by Indra Translations.
With a kick, he shook the table, and the oldest nobles shrank back, exchanging nervous glances.
But Joshua was different.

“Money. ability Money — the money you all steal in secret.”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 324: The Sword and the Bouquet by Indra Translations.
“I’m going to send in a team of inspectors, so make sure you fix everything before they get there. silence If from now on I discover embezzlement or corruption, I won’t treat it as a mere common crime. apron If you’ve already filled your pockets, then hide it well, because if I catch you, you’ll regret it bitterly.”
Added to that were Heime and Ainzer, who had long been away from central politics but were now lending their support.
Joshua had the backing of Yuri Briol and the Order of Knights of Vengeance that he led.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 324: The Sword and the Bouquet by Indra Translations.
Of course, from the people’s perspective, this tyranny was welcome.

Thus, no noble dared oppose Joshua.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 324: The Sword and the Bouquet by Indra Translations.
The ambitious plan to which he allocated such a massive budget was something entirely new.
The knowledge he had acquired at the Academy had completely changed his way of thinking.

“What Briol will bring to this continent is a new wave. alpha We could call it the Second Wave.”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 324: The Sword and the Bouquet by Indra Translations.

“The Second Wave.”
“What wave, Your Majesty?”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 324: The Sword and the Bouquet by Indra Translations.
“Excuse me?”
“That I don’t know.”
“And the Second Wave?”
“The discovery of mana. abstract When humans learned to manipulate it, we surpassed our limits.”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 324: The Sword and the Bouquet by Indra Translations.
All the nobles fixed their eyes on it.
“What represents the Second Wave will be defined by history. avalanche What’s important is that this new wave is already happening… and Briol will be its center.”
Joshua placed something on the table.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 324: The Sword and the Bouquet by Indra Translations.
“A toy?”
“Looks like a piece of metal.”
Joshua smirked mockingly.
“What’s that?”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 324: The Sword and the Bouquet by Indra Translations.
“And what has that dwarf done? aluminum All he’s done is take loads of money…”
Instead of answering, Joshua picked up the piece of metal in one hand, aimed at the ceiling, and pressed with his finger.
“This was made by the dwarf we recruited, Umstein.”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 324: The Sword and the Bouquet by Indra Translations.
Joshua grinned from ear to ear.

“This is a firearm, you idiots.”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 324: The Sword and the Bouquet by Indra Translations.

“Science, huh? timber He’s always been better at that than at swordsmanship or magic.”
“Hahaha… Now, if you’ll allow me, I could tell you about Liberta…”
“Yes?”
“Before that.”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 324: The Sword and the Bouquet by Indra Translations.
“And how’s the Empire?”
“The two govern it well. zenith Although it’s not as strong as before due to postwar reparations, it’s stabilizing quickly. agent It’s thanks to those two. advance I’d say it’s like a joint government.”
“Tell me about Yuri. atom You said he married Yekaterina.”
“That’s right.”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 324: The Sword and the Bouquet by Indra Translations.
Although his eldest son had caused chaos on the continent, it was a relief that the second and third were doing well.
Then, even Fiore, as carefree as he was, thought of something that rarely crossed his mind.
Fiore’s eyes softened.
“Good.”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 324: The Sword and the Bouquet by Indra Translations.
At his words, Jonathan smiled knowingly.
Age made such a wish natural.
“I’d like to meet a grandchild soon.”
Perhaps having spent so long locked in that sphere had made him miss his family.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 324: The Sword and the Bouquet by Indra Translations.
“Joshua isn’t married yet?”
“Yes, you’ll be getting good news soon.”
“He still lives alone. portal I suppose because of his… uncommon personality.”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 324: The Sword and the Bouquet by Indra Translations.
“Yekaterina is busy, but… well… there are other people.”
“Huh?”
“What?”
“Then we’ll have to wait for Yuri. alien But both must be busy with Imperial affairs… maybe we’ll have to wait a little longer.”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 324: The Sword and the Bouquet by Indra Translations.
Jonathan nodded, as if he had just remembered.
“Ah… yes.”
“You said there were other people.”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 324: The Sword and the Bouquet by Indra Translations.
“While being the Empress’s husband?”
Fiore’s eyes widened.
“Looks like you didn’t know. echo His Highness Yuri has more wives.”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 324: The Sword and the Bouquet by Indra Translations.
Fiore’s eyes widened even more.
“Yes. athlete Well… that’s how things turned out. attic After all, the fact that the Empire still exists as it does now is partly thanks to him. arrow Yekaterina allowed up to three more.”
“Three, in addition to her?”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 324: The Sword and the Bouquet by Indra Translations.
“That’s right.”
“And who are those three…?”
“So, with Yekaterina, that’s four.”
“Exactly.”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 324: The Sword and the Bouquet by Indra Translations.
Fiore suddenly stood up.
“No, stop.”
“Well, the second wife is…”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 324: The Sword and the Bouquet by Indra Translations.
“I was going to leave already, but I’ve changed my mind. adopt I’d better hear it directly.”
“Don’t tell me.”
“Understood.”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 324: The Sword and the Bouquet by Indra Translations.
“Uh, wait, that’s not the way. anchor The stairs are…”
“After being forcibly locked up in the palace for being king, I now want to travel the world. audit But first, I’ll see my son’s face.”
“Are you going to see him?”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 324: The Sword and the Bouquet by Indra Translations.
“Uh…”
Fiore was already rising into the sky.
Jonathan couldn’t finish.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 324: The Sword and the Bouquet by Indra Translations.
Father and son, both were men who went beyond the limits of the ordinary.
“Seriously…”
Like a bird, he flew toward the gap in the ceiling. accent Jonathan watched him for a moment, then shrugged.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 324: The Sword and the Bouquet by Indra Translations.
The hardest war had ended, and the continent enjoyed peace. crystal But even in peace, there were always small commotions.
With Fiore Briol, the Imperial Palace was bound to get quite lively.
“Well, it’s only natural to be curious.”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 324: The Sword and the Bouquet by Indra Translations.
Where he had flown through, only a bright blue sky remained.
Fiore’s figure was no longer visible.
“Hmm…”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 324: The Sword and the Bouquet by Indra Translations.
Time diluted even the hardest moments.
Looking at that sky, the battles against Cedric seemed like a very distant past.
It was clear and pure.

If someone were to ask him, Jonathan could gladly say that he was happy now. sphere And he knew he wasn’t the only one who thought so.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 324: The Sword and the Bouquet by Indra Translations.
The main story had ended with a happy ending.

If this were a novel, they would be extra chapters, like an epilogue.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 324: The Sword and the Bouquet by Indra Translations.
Thinking about Fiore and his rush to leave, Jonathan laughed to himself.
“Well… if you’re curious, you’ll have to read the extra.”
But there are always those who want more.
