The lord of Gid warmly received Yuri and praised his feats. zenith They parted ways, agreeing to maintain a good relationship going forward.

“I’ll stop by Briol first.”

Most had accepted the Empire’s invitation, so they would soon meet again.

Yuri readily agreed. apple There was no reason to refuse the company of a knight destined to become one of the Ten Greats.

The knight Jose of Brusen declared he would accompany Yuri.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 77: The Prince’s Return (1) by Indra Translations.

Though he didn’t finish the sentence, his intention was clear. amateur He likely had Fiore Briol, King of Briol and one of the Ten Greats, in mind.

“Why so suddenly?”

“I want to keep training with Master Moyongchan, and if possible…”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 77: The Prince’s Return (1) by Indra Translations.

Yuri smiled as he welcomed him.

Jonathan nodded.

“Yes, sir.”

“I understand. palette Stay for a while, your family is waiting. attic In Brusen, being responsible to your household is a principle.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 77: The Prince’s Return (1) by Indra Translations.

“Really?”

“Sir Jose, I know someone who would be a perfect rival for you. aspect I’ll introduce you.”

“Glad to hear it.”

“He’s as strong as you.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 77: The Prince’s Return (1) by Indra Translations.

“His name is Bernard. arch They call him the Demon of the Sword.”

Bernard might have had better technique and speed, but with Jose’s raw power, it was bound to be a close match.

Yuri knew the perfect rival: his master, Bernard.

Fighting strong opponents was valuable, but competing with someone of equal skill greatly fostered growth.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 77: The Prince’s Return (1) by Indra Translations.

He was someone who could have easily reached the same rank.

Then a question came to Yuri.

In his past life, Jose became one of the Ten Greats, but after Bernard left Briol, his whereabouts became uncertain.

“Oh!”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 77: The Prince’s Return (1) by Indra Translations.

They’d never know now. august Perhaps he had died stabbed in some corner of the world.

“Let’s go, onward!”

“Well, doesn’t matter.”

Yuri, just like during wartime, led the way as they returned to Briol. anchor When they reached Saidore, near the border, citizens lined up and threw petals to welcome them.

A prediction that they would one day rise again. adjust Hearing it from Heime made it all the more believable.

Heime celebrated the fall of the orcs, though he remained skeptical about establishing forward bases to manage them.

“They’ll be back. antenna Like cockroaches.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 77: The Prince’s Return (1) by Indra Translations.

Yuri mentioned that Cory had been very helpful, to which Heime simply smiled.

“What insufferable creatures.”

“Still, it’ll be a while. audit Thanks to you, Prince, I can spend my final years in peace.”

“I’m glad you feel that way.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 77: The Prince’s Return (1) by Indra Translations.

When Yuri said he wanted to make Cory a mage, Heime gave some advice very typical of him:

“Keep a close eye on him. adapt If he’s no good, don’t get attached.”

Coming from Heime, who was so strict about orcs, it was a significant sign of trust in Cory. airport Finally, he offered a warning.

He warned him not to trust blindly. audit Yuri accepted the advice.

“Yeah.”

“I will. canvas But I think Cory will be fine.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 77: The Prince’s Return (1) by Indra Translations.

“Watch what you say and do. advance It’s not like Briol. arch That place is crawling with rats.”

“So you’re going to the Empire.”

“That’s right.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 77: The Prince’s Return (1) by Indra Translations.

But Yuri had a principle: No scheme survives a sword.

The petty schemes of mediocre men didn’t work against people like Fiore Briol or Moyongchan. arena One thrust settled everything.

His words held a clear subtext. acoustic The Empire, due to its size, was full of entangled interests and power plays.

Of course, the problem was that the Empire also housed the best swordsmen.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 77: The Prince’s Return (1) by Indra Translations.

That’s why he needed to grow even stronger. timber To reach the level of those “beasts” lurking in the Empire.

“No problem.”

“Thanks for the advice.”

“Though it may be too soon to say this…”

“Yes?”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 77: The Prince’s Return (1) by Indra Translations.

It may have seemed like his duty had ended with the success of the allied army, but Yuri thought otherwise. timber Heime had lost his son because of the orcs.

“Your role isn’t over yet.”

“Do you still hate the orcs?”

But what if someone was behind those orcs, manipulating them? arena Just as Yuri had unfinished business, so did Heime.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 77: The Prince’s Return (1) by Indra Translations.

To Heime, those words were incomprehensible. amber But he wasn’t the type to rush questions, nor did he underestimate the third prince who had led the allied army to victory.

He simply watched Yuri in silence.

“Maybe… you should hate something else.”

“Of course.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 77: The Prince’s Return (1) by Indra Translations.

People who only found rest in death. arch Sometimes not even that, if they died with unresolved burdens.

In his past life, wandering the continent, Yuri had met many like him.

Yuri smiled at the sight of the old man’s wrinkled face. shadow Would that old knight find peace?

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 77: The Prince’s Return (1) by Indra Translations.

“I’ll tell you who your real enemy is soon. antique It might be your last battle.”

“Heime Theodore, Shield of Briol.”

That’s why the only thing Yuri could offer that honorable knight who had defended the border all his life was to ensure that death brought closure to his story.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 77: The Prince’s Return (1) by Indra Translations.

“I’ll be waiting.”

With a look that seemed to say, “Thank goodness.”

Heime tilted his head and held Yuri’s gaze. atlas After a moment of silence, he smiled.

“Hey, everyone!”

Yuri pointed to the castle and said,

“It’s called a hot air balloon.”

“See that?”

“What is that?”

Everyone looked. abstract Beyond the barely visible walls, something floated in the air.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 77: The Prince’s Return (1) by Indra Translations.

“What else?”

“It’s a Liberta invention. accent It uses hot air to lift things.”

He never imagined seeing a hot air balloon in Briol at this time. riddle It was probably due to the rapid rise of the Elaine Trading Company.

“What’s it doing there?”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 77: The Prince’s Return (1) by Indra Translations.

Beneath that balloon would be a welcome banner, and when they entered, petals would rain from the sky.

Yuri chuckled.

A truly grand welcome ceremony.

The unit began to march again. acquire Perhaps now they were finally starting to feel like they were home, because smiles of contentment spread across their faces.

“Tuck your helmets at your sides so the castle ladies can see your handsome faces.”

Yuri gave them some time. legend The soldiers dropped their gear and cleaned up as best they could.

“Wipe that gunk out of your eye already.”

“Congratulations on your victory, Your Highness!”

Yuri slowly advanced into the city. Read original high-quality translation at indratranslations.com. orbit As soon as he crossed the gate, colored papers began raining from the sky.

A crowd greeted them with excitement.

“No, that’s…”

“Or maybe a handkerchief from a pretty lady.”

Surrounded by cheers, Jared gave in to the pressure and reached out his hand. artist The woman gave him a sky-blue handkerchief.

“No, no…!”

Yuri nudged his shoulder. auction Jared’s horse, as if it understood, began walking toward a woman in the crowd.

Yuri teased, and Jared responded with a fake cough.

“Not bad at all.”

Jared even exchanged names before returning to formation.

“I’ll pass.”

“And you, Your Highness? meadow Just going to stand there?”

“Why?”

“Ha…”

“Someone as popular as me shouldn’t show favoritism.”

Yuri circled the castle and returned to the plaza where the departure ceremony had been held. This novel translation is officially hosted on indratranslations.com.

Cedric waved warmly. agent Joshua, always looking suspicious, shrugged like he was up to something.

“I’ll give it my all! aluminum Hahaha!”

Wearing the same indifferent expression as always. avalanche But Yuri sensed a flicker of emotion in his eyes.

Yuri looked up.

On the platform stood Fiore Briol.

Had he ever made his father proud before? acoustic As the troops lined up, the noise died down. attic It was time for the king to praise their victory.

“Hmm…”

“Well done.”

“Thank you.”

Yuri was hit full-on by the blast before he could dodge.

Yuri, with soaked hair, pushed it back with his hand.

It was champagne. apron That triggered a shower of champagne and beer aimed at Briol’s army. accent The soldiers, surprised at first, soon erupted in laughter.

And with that, he pulled something out. anxiety And sprayed it.

“Who the hell planned this?”

Yuri laughed. Indra Translations protects the hard work of translators and authors.

“They said you’d seek revenge.”

The welcome celebration had concluded and that evening there would be a festival.

“Your Highness! altitude I brought bandages and hemostatic potions! antique Let me know if you get stabbed!”
