Chapter 324: The Sword and the Bouquet
There were celebrations every day.
By contrast, the citizens of the Empire, upon being freed from the brainwashing of black magic and understanding the truth of what had happened, fell into confusion.
As compensation for the war, the Empire lost much of its territory and had to cede rights and interests.
When it became known that the Anti-Imperial Alliance had won, the entire continent was swept up in a festive mood.

Considered the most beautiful woman on the continent, and as the only remaining imperial bloodline, she ascended to the throne and began to rule.
People feared that, at this rate, the country would become a colony of another nation.
But, unexpectedly, a leader emerged who was able to quickly stabilize the situation — Yekaterina Ivarna de Granzaien.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 324: The Sword and the Bouquet by Indra Translations.
The hero of the Alliance and leader of the Anti-Imperial Coalition, Yuri Briol, was in love with Yekaterina.
That alone allowed the citizens of the Empire to hope that they would not be treated excessively unfairly by the victorious powers.
The people’s joy was not due only to her surprising political ability.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 324: The Sword and the Bouquet by Indra Translations.
She shook her head, but in truth the kings of the coalition did take care not to offend Yuri.
“As if I had any power…”
Whether he was aware of it or not, Yuri stayed at Yekaterina’s side and actively participated with her in public events.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 324: The Sword and the Bouquet by Indra Translations.
“Hm?”
“Yuri.”
“Won’t that look a little arrogant?”
“Lift your chin.”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 324: The Sword and the Bouquet by Indra Translations.
The painter nodded firmly.
“Like this?”
“If you’re attractive, you can afford it.”
“Perfect.”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 324: The Sword and the Bouquet by Indra Translations.
“Yes, very good.”
He was a famous illustrator known for his realistic style in the Monthly Daily magazine.
The artist’s hand moved quickly.
In the past, he had received excellent reviews for an illustration of Yuri and Gott in a special feature on narcotics.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 324: The Sword and the Bouquet by Indra Translations.
Jared, who was watching with arms crossed, spoke.
“But, tell me something…”
“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?”
And it was true.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 324: The Sword and the Bouquet by Indra Translations.
The interview was serious, about the future of the Empire. audit 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.
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.
“Governing is, at its core, promotion. abandon Jared, in difficult times like these, to unify the people’s spirit, you must use every resource available. album And it doesn’t need to be explained that, in this case, the resource is beauty. arcade How many do you think will actually read the article? ability What will remain is the illustration.”
“Eh?”
“You’ve got a lot to learn. arctic What have you learned by my side all this time?”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 324: The Sword and the Bouquet by Indra Translations.
Even though it was the darkest time in its history, support for the crown was at its highest point.
The force that united the people was simple: the couple at the head of the Empire had swept first place in the survey for “The Most Admired Person of the Opposite Sex on the Continent.”
Jared sighed. All translations belong to Indra Translations. You can find us online at indratranslations.com anxiety He couldn’t refute it, and that annoyed him.
The Empire, which had once been divided, quickly unified thanks to the two of them being at the forefront.
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.”
“You’ve become the pride of the Empire, congratulations. atlas And Briol? portal Aren’t you looking after him?”
Joshua, having found his focus, was beginning to become a monarch worthy of going down in history.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 324: The Sword and the Bouquet by Indra Translations.
“I see you’ve loved surveys ever since you won one.”
“Only those who have been first understand.”
By temperament, he wouldn’t be a virtuous king, but he would surely win a survey for “Kings Who Contributed the Most to Briol’s Development.”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 324: The Sword and the Bouquet by Indra Translations.
“I’ve been first too.”
“Knight You’d Trust Most With Your Life — first place.”
“What?”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 324: The Sword and the Bouquet by Indra Translations.
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.
Jared, who had shared life and death with Yuri, was famous across the continent.
Yuri’s gaze turned cold.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 324: The Sword and the Bouquet by Indra Translations.
“Maxim.”
“Damn it…”
“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.
While they talked, the painting was almost finished.
“Good work.”
He would have loved to shut it down, but being so popular among soldiers, even he couldn’t touch it.
“This is enough. alpha I’ll finish the rest myself,” the painter said.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 324: The Sword and the Bouquet by Indra Translations.
“I’ll look forward to it.”
“No, it’s been an honor to portray you. acoustic It’s not every day one has the opportunity to use two such magnificent people as models.”
“I’ll call you for the next one. album We have an article pending on Tax Reform for the Revitalization of the Empire.”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 324: The Sword and the Bouquet by Indra Translations.
After all, humans are imperfect beings, guided by what they see.
With something like this, the impact was inevitable.
When Jared saw the illustration, he understood why Yuri insisted on promotion. admire It wasn’t just beauty — it was art.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 324: The Sword and the Bouquet by Indra Translations.
“Yes, sir.”
“Hehehe… kill all the monkeys and create a new worl—”
“Don’t say nonsense.”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 324: The Sword and the Bouquet by Indra Translations.
“Yes?”
“Sir Jared.”
As they left the studio, Yekaterina called to Jared.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 324: The Sword and the Bouquet by Indra Translations.
“I understand.”
As a royal guard knight, he was used to withdrawing.
She tilted her head, giving a signal with her eyes — she wanted to be alone with Yuri.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 324: The Sword and the Bouquet by Indra Translations.
“I’m number one in Knight You’d Trust Most With Your Life…” he muttered.
When Jared left, Yuri and Yekaterina smiled at each other.
But he wasn’t discouraged.
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.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 324: The Sword and the Bouquet by Indra Translations.
Yuri felt something strange.
“Shall we go?”
They were so well-known that they wore slime masks to hide their identities and go out into the streets.
“Yes.”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 324: The Sword and the Bouquet by Indra Translations.
This felt the same.
She tilted her head, as if trying to remember.
In his past life, they had walked around hiding their identities to enjoy secret dates.

“Yes.”
“I think I remember…”
“Have we been here before?”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 324: The Sword and the Bouquet by Indra Translations.
Walking through the capital, they entered the market. atomic Merchants shouted to attract customers, food fell to the ground, a girl sold flowers from a cart, children ran and fell.
Yuri stopped.
At times, in the alleys, hunched beggars could be seen.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 324: The Sword and the Bouquet by Indra Translations.
“What is it?” atomic Yekaterina asked.
He remembered. acid Here.
He didn’t answer, staring fixedly at a spot in an alley.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 324: The Sword and the Bouquet by Indra Translations.
When Cedric, in Laurent’s body, had stabbed him, he had trapped him in absolute silence to make him surrender.
“Do you remember that we argued here?”
It was a forgotten scene from the past.
There, Yuri had remembered the days with Yekaterina and understood something.

“I’m not sure…”

“Me?”
“You got angry and left. silence Right here.”
Yekaterina tilted her head. advance Yuri smiled.

“I stayed still.”
“Yes.”
“And you?”
“You didn’t follow me?”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 324: The Sword and the Bouquet by Indra Translations.
“I left upset and you…?”
“No.”
“Yes…”
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.
Before she could frown, Yuri touched her cheek, remembering that day.
Then, Yekaterina furrowed her beautiful brow.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 324: The Sword and the Bouquet by Indra Translations.
“Haa…”
“…”
Yuri stayed there, watching her figure walk away, without understanding what he had done wrong.
He remained frozen in that spot for a long time.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 324: The Sword and the Bouquet by Indra Translations.
When he finally sighed and turned around, he saw, in a corner of the alley, some beggars beating another.
Yuri immediately ran over, dishing out punches and kicks to the attackers and driving them away.
His small body, completely wrapped in cloth, rolled on the ground, and at first Yuri thought they were beating a child.
The beggar being beaten was not a child.
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. academy In front of Yekaterina, after all, everyone was equal.
“Are you alright?”
“Th-thank you. amateur Hehe…”
He had a face so deformed it looked as though from burns and limped when walking. agent That was probably why they had made him a target.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 324: The Sword and the Bouquet by Indra Translations.
“You don’t look it. afford Hey, take that off.”
“I-it’s fine.”
“Yes.”
“Come on.”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 324: The Sword and the Bouquet by Indra Translations.
“Thank you…”
Seeing the hesitation in the little beggar’s eyes, Yuri sensed that this boy had almost never received kindness from another person.
Yuri, almost forcing him, took off his clothes and applied a potion to his wounds.
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.
He was a poor unfortunate soul.
Yuri started chatting with him. voyage He even told him the story of his fight with Yekaterina.
“I think… that’s why she got upset.”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 324: The Sword and the Bouquet by Indra Translations.
“Yes, now that you mention it, I think so too. armor I hadn’t even thought about it. acid Haa… And how did you know?”
“Yes… I think it was a little… insensitive.”
“That’s why?”
“I just tried to put myself in her place.”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 324: The Sword and the Bouquet by Indra Translations.
“She’ll forgive you.”
“But what do I do now? arcade I didn’t realize I had made a mistake, and when my girlfriend left angry, I didn’t even try to stop her. attic Surely that made her even more upset.”
“Not bad, huh?”
“Hehe…”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 324: The Sword and the Bouquet by Indra Translations.
“Maybe not with others, but with you she will.”
“O-of course.”
“She’s not the type to forgive easily…”
“You think so?”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 324: The Sword and the Bouquet by Indra Translations.
The boy bared his teeth in a smile. beacon It wasn’t a pleasant face, but there was sincerity in that smile.
“Because if I were her, I would. abstract She must know better than anyone what a good person you are.”
“And how do you know?”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 324: The Sword and the Bouquet by Indra Translations.
“You’re not just telling me nice things, are you?”
“Well…”
Yuri let out a laugh.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 324: The Sword and the Bouquet by Indra Translations.
“I see, I see.”
“I-it’s serious. absorb I… I’m good at reading people. voyage I’ve lived my whole life watching other people’s moods…”
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?”
Just as he was about to leave, the boy grabbed his clothes.
“Anyway, I’ve got to go.”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 324: The Sword and the Bouquet by Indra Translations.
“Sir… May I pray for you?”
“Pray?”
Then he smiled shyly.
“Yes. amber Even if I’m ugly and limp, I have a small power.”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 324: The Sword and the Bouquet by Indra Translations.
“My words have strength. atomic When I say something, it happens. acquire Only small things, of course. august For example, once I thought I wished the person who hit me would trip when leaving… and they really fell! avalanche It hasn’t been just once.”
“I-I swear.”
“Oh, really?”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 324: The Sword and the Bouquet by Indra Translations.
“Alright.”
“If you don’t mind… could you lend me that necklace for a moment?”
Yuri shrugged.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 324: The Sword and the Bouquet by Indra Translations.
The boy, hunched and with a timid voice, said.
“This one?”
“F-for words about the future, it’s better to store them in a valuable object…”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 324: The Sword and the Bouquet by Indra Translations.
The beggar took it with both hands, as if it were a precious jewel, and closed his eyes to concentrate.
Without suspicion, Yuri handed him the necklace.
He seemed so serious that Yuri couldn’t help but smile wryly.
“You said you regretted today’s mistake, right?”
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. adjust 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. amateur That is what I truly wish…”
“Yes.” Visit indratranslations.com for more free chapters and updates.
At that moment, Yuri thought the necklace in his hands shone faintly.

Whatever his story, that nameless little beggar — Yuri truly wished that in his next life he could have peace.
It was the first and last time.
They said he had been run over by a noble’s carriage.
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.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 324: The Sword and the Bouquet by Indra Translations.
“Yuri?”
That had happened once.
Yekaterina’s voice pulled him from his thoughts.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 324: The Sword and the Bouquet by Indra Translations.
Yuri spoke.
Recalling a past buried deep inside, he felt strongly that everything he was living now was a miracle.
“What were you thinking about so much?”
In her large green eyes, his own face was reflected.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 324: The Sword and the Bouquet by Indra Translations.
Seeing her eyebrows arch, Yuri smiled.
“With me in front of you?”
“About Cory.”

That’s why he had to make good use of this life.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 324: The Sword and the Bouquet by Indra Translations.
“Yekaterina. legend I have something to tell you.”
If in this moment he felt he should do something, he wouldn’t hesitate.
So as not to leave behind those trivial laments of “why didn’t I do it then?”.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 324: The Sword and the Bouquet by Indra Translations.
Then, he unsheathed Guilty and drove it into the ground.
“Hm?”
Yuri turned, took from the nearby flower cart the most beautiful bouquet, and placed it in Yekaterina’s arms.
“What is it?”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 324: The Sword and the Bouquet by Indra Translations.
He looked her directly in the eyes.
It was a sudden proposal, but she wasn’t the least bit surprised.
“Would you marry me?”

She simply curved her lips, as if she had heard something obvious.
Those who were surprised were the people in the market. auction The unexpected event ended with an acceptance, and soon applause and cheers erupted.
“If that’s what you want.”
If they knew that the woman and knight before them were Empress Yekaterina and her lover, Yuri Briol, they would probably faint from the shock.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 324: The Sword and the Bouquet by Indra Translations.
With a clear sound, the blade broke.
But then.
Receiving the congratulations, Yuri unsheathed Guilty again.
Ping.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 324: The Sword and the Bouquet by Indra Translations.
“Yes. arcade It was.”

Right where the word Guilty had been engraved, the sword split cleanly in two.
“Did you hurt yourself? antenna Wasn’t that your favorite sword?”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 324: The Sword and the Bouquet by Indra Translations.
Yuri lifted the broken hilt and, looking at the fragment where nothing could be read anymore, smiled.

The cheers grew louder.

That is why, to obtain artifacts, urban plans, or technical data he had left behind, the Anti-Imperial Alliance’s research team remained in the underground city.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 324: The Sword and the Bouquet by Indra Translations.
“Sir Jonathan, what are you doing there?”
“Observing.”
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.
“Observing what?”
“It’s not to my taste. antique Put a numbered tag on it to review later.”
“I wanted to check Cedric’s aesthetic sense.”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 324: The Sword and the Bouquet by Indra Translations.
While investigating the underground city, Jonathan concluded that Cedric was an extremely efficient man, but with little aesthetic sense.
“Yes.”
“Hmm…” Read original high-quality translation at indratranslations.com.
If something was useful, the rest didn’t matter — all the styles were excessively simple.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 324: The Sword and the Bouquet by Indra Translations.
Jonathan was inspecting an underground warehouse.
From time to time there were decorations, but for someone with a more popular taste like Jonathan, they were nothing more than horrors.
It seemed to be the place where Cedric kept items he considered useless.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 324: The Sword and the Bouquet by Indra Translations.
Then, suddenly, he saw on the floor something the size of a fist that looked like a stone.

“Why the hell would he make such a monstrous statue?”

“What’s this?”

The stone shot forward, hit the wall, and rolled back. wizard It didn’t break.
Thinking that, Jonathan kicked the stone.
Cedric was definitely incomprehensible. adapt Had so much intelligence driven him insane?

“To hell with you!”
Jonathan kicked it again.

It seemed he had kicked it too hard. atomic The wall where it hit cracked.
“Huh…?”
He gave it another kick.
“Die, damn you!”

“You’re a knight, control your strength. silence You’re going to break everything.”
“Uh, what are you doing?”
A researcher poked his head through the warehouse door.
“Sorry.”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 324: The Sword and the Bouquet by Indra Translations.
When he was alone again, Jonathan turned his head and froze.
“Yes, my apologies.”
“See you later.”
Not only was the wall damaged.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 324: The Sword and the Bouquet by Indra Translations.
The stone ball had a crack spreading through it, and it began to split into two halves.
Black smoke began to rise slowly.
“Huh?”
As a member of the Anti-Imperial Alliance and veteran of many battles, Jonathan recognized that darkness as the prelude to black magic.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 324: The Sword and the Bouquet by Indra Translations.
What he had touched wasn’t just some object, but a remnant of black magic.
“D-damn it!”
Instinctively, Jonathan raised his sword.

“What are you doing?”
“Huh?”
“Ah?”

“Were you the one who freed me?”

“There was a ball and, since it was special, I touched it and suddenly you appeared.”
“I suppose it was a side effect of breaking the seal…”
As Jonathan mumbled excuses, he realized the man’s face looked familiar.
“Hmm…”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 324: The Sword and the Bouquet by Indra Translations.
“Could it be that you are… Your Majesty, the former King of Briol?”
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.
“That’s right.”
A name crossed his mind.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 324: The Sword and the Bouquet by Indra Translations.
“If you recognize me, then not much time must have passed.”

Fiore looked around.

“Who’s that?”
