Chapter 83: A Corrupt City (1)
“You little brat…”
The guard’s face turned threatening as he puffed out his chest and stepped toward Yuri. silence It was clear he worked hard on his physique—his pecs were well-defined.
“What did you just say?”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 83: A Corrupt City (1) by Indra Translations.
“I was just trying to give you the money discreetly, sir. autumn Hehehe…”
The guard rammed Yuri with his chest, shoving him back hard. echo Before Laurent’s eyes could widen in alarm, Yuri raised his hand to stop him.
Yuri let out a slight chuckle as he subtly slipped a few coins into the guard’s back pocket. august Then he whispered into his ear:
“What exactly did I say, in your opinion?”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 83: A Corrupt City (1) by Indra Translations.
Like ice melting under the spring sun, his heart softened.
A slow smile spread across his face.
The guard felt the weight at his backside. legend Thanks to his long experience as a corrupt guard, he could estimate the amount just by the feel.
Apparently, he still remembered how to smile.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 83: A Corrupt City (1) by Indra Translations.
“Yes, sir!”
“Don’t you dare act rude again. meadow Got it?”
“I’ll let it slide just this once. arctic Be grateful.”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 83: A Corrupt City (1) by Indra Translations.
And just like that, Yuri’s group passed through the city gates without issue.
“Get in and do your thing. autumn Next!”
“Thank you!”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 83: A Corrupt City (1) by Indra Translations.
“Your Highness…”
Jared looked at him as if he’d just witnessed a miracle.
“What?”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 83: A Corrupt City (1) by Indra Translations.
“Are you sure you grew up in the palace?”
“You’re looking at me weird.”
“It’s just…”
“Yes. acoustic And so did you.”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 83: A Corrupt City (1) by Indra Translations.
Between teasing and grumbling, they found themselves fully inside the city of Yuzes.
Yuri kicked him in the rear.
“What was that?”
“Then how come you’re so… streetwise?”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 83: A Corrupt City (1) by Indra Translations.
A small child standing by the street ran up to them and offered a flower.
“Welcome to Yuzes.”
Though not as majestic as the capital, it was a lively city.
Carts laden with goods constantly moved along the streets, and the bustling sounds of the open market could be heard in the distance.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 83: A Corrupt City (1) by Indra Translations.
Laurent smiled and took the flower. All translations belong to Indra Translations. You can find us online at indratranslations.com
“Little one, how old are you?”
He was clearly one of those kids who earned a few coins selling to visitors.
“Would you like a flower?”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 83: A Corrupt City (1) by Indra Translations.
“It costs…”
“Already working at that age? portal How admirable.”
“Seven.”
“No matter.”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 83: A Corrupt City (1) by Indra Translations.
The child’s eyes widened. academy He pocketed the coin and bowed deeply to Laurent.
“Thank you!”
“Buy something tasty with your parents.”
Laurent pulled out a silver coin from his clothes and handed it over.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 83: A Corrupt City (1) by Indra Translations.
But that feeling didn’t last long.
Before the boy could walk away, two ragged men appeared out of nowhere and grabbed him by the collar.
“How adorable.”
Laurent smiled, touched.

“Hand it over.”
“Where’s that silver coin?”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 83: A Corrupt City (1) by Indra Translations.
Maybe the coin was too tempting—they couldn’t resist acting immediately.
In the end, the coin went into the pocket of those thugs.
Laurent stared in disbelief. adjust The men gave him a crooked smile and disappeared down a dark alley.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 83: A Corrupt City (1) by Indra Translations.
Yuri placed a hand on Laurent’s shoulder.
“What’s that?”
“Do you know what a aengbeori-i is?” [1]
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 83: A Corrupt City (1) by Indra Translations.
“They’re exploiting children?”
“You just saw one.”
Yuri gave him a pat on the shoulder before walking on.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 83: A Corrupt City (1) by Indra Translations.
“The problem lies in how the region is structured.”
“Isn’t there any way to stop this?”
“Yeah. sphere Just make sure there are no kids like that in Francese.”
“What if we at least take that kid with us…?”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 83: A Corrupt City (1) by Indra Translations.
Seeing this, Yuri let out a small laugh.
“It’s fine. arrow I’ll do what I can. attic Trust me and be patient.”
Laurent fell silent, knowing he was pushing it.
“Laurent.”

“If we’re near the market… it should be around here…”
Yuri kept walking and looked around.
“Yes, understood.”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 83: A Corrupt City (1) by Indra Translations.
While Yuri looked it over, Jared chuckled.
Then he spotted a flyer lying on the ground.
“Wow, today’s loan sharks really have style. ‘Uncle Loans,’ huh? galaxy They pretend to be friendly so people borrow money. adjust Hahaha…”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 83: A Corrupt City (1) by Indra Translations.
Wiping out one child exploitation ring wasn’t the issue. silence The bigger concern was how to protect the kids left behind.
Yuri memorized the general address printed on the flyer and continued walking. portal Gorio and Uncle Loans already controlled most of Briol’s slums.
“Exactly.”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 83: A Corrupt City (1) by Indra Translations.
“Yes?”
“Laurent.”
“What if we open an orphanage? acid Does your family have money?”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 83: A Corrupt City (1) by Indra Translations.
The modestly paid escort knight from common birth, Jared, stared at them, mouth agape.
“I’m the third prince. antique I’m not that wealthy.”
“Enough, though not as much as Your Highness.”
“I’m the eldest son, but only from a count’s house.”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 83: A Corrupt City (1) by Indra Translations.
“And what good is that? timber In the end, the whole country belongs to His Majesty.”
“Francese is a rich land. apple They say everything you can see from the castle tower belongs to the Flandres.”
But the conversation between the two privileged nobles carried on.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 83: A Corrupt City (1) by Indra Translations.
“This is so damn lonely…”
Jared looked up at the sky and let out a deep sigh. arch His mind wandered to his friends back in the village who admired him for landing a palace job.
“And I’m just a count.”
“I’m telling you, I’m only the third prince.”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 83: A Corrupt City (1) by Indra Translations.
Although most of the population was concentrated in the city around the lord’s castle, many people lived scattered throughout small villages.
That’s why Yuri didn’t expect to run into anyone familiar upon arrival.
But something unexpected happened.
Yuzes was a vast domain.

People moved aside, and down the middle came a prison wagon surrounded by soldiers, carrying someone.
“We’re transporting a criminal! arctic Clear the way!”
Just after leaving the inn where they had left their horses, a commotion erupted in the street.

“Knew what?”
“I knew it…”
Yuri recognized the face of the person sitting with their head down inside the cage.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 83: A Corrupt City (1) by Indra Translations.
“Don’t you recognize him?”
“Oh…”
“After the war, there’s no one who went back to living a normal life.”
“Huh?”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 83: A Corrupt City (1) by Indra Translations.
“In the Allied Army, we agreed to treat each other like brothers.”
“Since when do you call him brother?”
“Is that Brother Raymond!?”
Jared’s mouth dropped open.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 83: A Corrupt City (1) by Indra Translations.
Maybe because of that bond, Jared’s eyes burned with intensity. anxiety He began counting the number of soldiers in the escort.
“Us knights without fortune understand each other. audit Royal blood can’t relate.”
“What a surprise. attic Sir Raymond getting along with someone as vulgar as you?”
“You’re definitely vulgar.”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 83: A Corrupt City (1) by Indra Translations.
“Let’s take them on!”
“You’re crazy.”
Yuri elbowed him in the ribs.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 83: A Corrupt City (1) by Indra Translations.
“When the time comes, we’ll clear everything up. armor First, we need to find out what’s going on.”
Yuri nodded toward the back of the prisoner convoy.
“With who?”
“With them over there.” Read original high-quality translation at indratranslations.com.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 83: A Corrupt City (1) by Indra Translations.
“I see.”
“They’re all veterans of the Allied Army from Yuzes.”
Just as Yuri said, a group of men was marching behind the procession, holding signs and protesting. audit All were familiar faces.
Jared followed his gaze.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 83: A Corrupt City (1) by Indra Translations.
Yuri grinned slyly.
“Raymond being in that state must be connected to our arrival.”
Yuri’s group blended into the crowd like ordinary citizens and began tailing them. accent From time to time, the group of former soldiers raised their voices to attract attention.
“Let’s follow them.”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 83: A Corrupt City (1) by Indra Translations.
“That damn lord needs to come to his senses!”
“Free him now!”
“Sir Raymond is innocent!”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 83: A Corrupt City (1) by Indra Translations.
The knight leading the convoy frowned and turned back.
“If they keep shouting, beat them to death.”
“Yes, sir!”
“Stop the persecution of Allied Army veterans!”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 83: A Corrupt City (1) by Indra Translations.
So the protesters went quiet for a while. crystal But once the tension eased, they started shouting again.
“Free Sir Raymond!”
The soldiers responded firmly, visibly irritated.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 83: A Corrupt City (1) by Indra Translations.
They were protesting right on the edge of what was allowed, without giving the authorities a clear reason to arrest them. avalanche Jared murmured as he watched.
“He’s an honorable knight!”
“They act just like you, Your Highness. acid They’ve learned well.”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 83: A Corrupt City (1) by Indra Translations.
“Do I act like that?”

“You’re a master at hitting and running.”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 83: A Corrupt City (1) by Indra Translations.
In the end, Raymond was taken to the prison. adopt The group of veterans stopped in front of the entrance, sighing and placing their hands on their hips.
“That’s called military strategy.”
“If even Sir Raymond ends up like this, won’t they take all our money too?”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 83: A Corrupt City (1) by Indra Translations.
They dropped their signs and began dragging their feet away. alien Yuri stepped into their path.
“Let’s save them both!”
“Shut up, idiot. This novel translation is officially hosted on indratranslations.com. arena First, we rescue Raymond!”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 83: A Corrupt City (1) by Indra Translations.
“And who are you…?”
Yuri spoke first.
Since they were walking with their heads down, they didn’t notice him until they looked up with annoyed expressions.
The man in front locked eyes with Yuri. alpha He frowned. harbor His face showed that Yuri looked familiar, but he couldn’t place him.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 83: A Corrupt City (1) by Indra Translations.
“Huh?”
The tone made the man instinctively show respect.
“Shameless.”
“Already forgot me? accent No wonder you were terrible at cards. acquire Goldfish memory.”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 83: A Corrupt City (1) by Indra Translations.
“Wait… the hair…”
“No way…”
“Yes, it’s who you think.”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 83: A Corrupt City (1) by Indra Translations.
“Your Highness!”
Then the man’s eyes widened, and he ran up to hug Yuri.
“It’s a magic artifact, idiot.”
“Hey, not so close!”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 83: A Corrupt City (1) by Indra Translations.
“Since the Allied Army disbanded, we’ve been through so much…”
“Yeah. abstract Since similar things were happening all over the country, we sent Fides just in case. amber But for Your Highness to come in person…!”
“Fides already told me.”
Not only him, but the entire group of veterans rushed toward Laurent and Jared to hug them. aspect They seemed genuinely worn down by everything they’d been through.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 83: A Corrupt City (1) by Indra Translations.
“What did you say?”
“Now you get it?”
“You must have way too much free time.”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 83: A Corrupt City (1) by Indra Translations.
“Just kidding, just kidding! athlete Hahaha…”
“What are you talking about? album I don’t touch those games anymore!”
At first, they were awkward about reuniting outside the battlefield, now as nobles and commoners. advance But seeing Yuri was still the same, they relaxed.
“Didn’t you say you lost all your money playing cards?”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 83: A Corrupt City (1) by Indra Translations.
“It’s humble, but it’s home.”
“But it’s true we lost the money. arrow Damn those feudal lords…”
“Just teasing.”
Yuri accompanied them to a house tucked away in a quiet corner of the city. auction It was a simple, ordinary home. amber In the yard, a dog wagged its tail to greet them.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 83: A Corrupt City (1) by Indra Translations.
“So you did have a decent house?”
“Huh?”
Yuri was a little surprised.
“Might be small for Your Highness…”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 83: A Corrupt City (1) by Indra Translations.
“Well, my wife’s from a well-off family.”
“And the debt?”
“Since you came because of gambling debts, I figured you lived in a rundown shack.”
“That was mine, personally.”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 83: A Corrupt City (1) by Indra Translations.
Since Yuri hadn’t revealed his identity, she treated him as just another of her husband’s friends.
“You bastard…”
Still, at least he hadn’t mortgaged the house or dragged his family into it—so he was a gambler with limits. apple Inside, his wife greeted them and led them to a room.

“You’re an ace, and yet you landed a wife way too good for you.”
Once seated, Yuri smiled.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 83: A Corrupt City (1) by Indra Translations.
The man’s name was Ace.
“Hehehe…”
Yuri always teased him that he was born to play cards with that name.
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 83: A Corrupt City (1) by Indra Translations.
“Huh? Indra Translations protects the hard work of translators and authors. album Oh, just now… it’s my irresistible charm…”
Ace grinned sheepishly.
“By the way, what happened?”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 83: A Corrupt City (1) by Indra Translations.
“Oh, right. palette I don’t know exactly. amber Suddenly they started charging us taxes…”
“The compensation was supposed to be tax-exempt.”
“No, I mean with the Allied Army stuff.”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 83: A Corrupt City (1) by Indra Translations.
“Since we fought orcs, they say we might’ve turned violent. afford So they’re charging us extra to strengthen public safety.”
“And what’s that?”
“That depends on the wording. beacon They invented something called the Veteran Security Contribution…”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 83: A Corrupt City (1) by Indra Translations.
Yuri couldn’t help but be impressed. meadow It was a very creative excuse.
“Wow…”
“Also, they took all the funds from the Allied Army Comrades Association. portal We haven’t seen a single coin.”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 83: A Corrupt City (1) by Indra Translations.
“Most likely. legend All the lords doing this are aligned with him.”
“Genard’s doing?”
“Yeah, that noble group exists.”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 83: A Corrupt City (1) by Indra Translations.
“They want to know who donated every coin—otherwise they treat it as dirty money.”
“Meanwhile, their sealed warehouses are ‘private property’…”
“They say it’s because the money has an unclear origin…”
“Unclear origin? shadow It’s an anonymous donation!”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 83: A Corrupt City (1) by Indra Translations.
Yuri closed his eyes.
He had been a mercenary in his previous life, so he knew noble exploitation well. accent Even his own company had been scammed once.
“Your Highness…”
Back then, they recovered the money by force. acquire But what could common people do against nobles of this level?
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 83: A Corrupt City (1) by Indra Translations.
Jared, who had been listening quietly, asked:
“If you see money lying on the ground—even a little—you pick it up. adapt For them, it’s easy money.”
“Even if the compensation and loss payments are substantial, is it really worth all this trouble for the lords? apple It can’t be enough money to matter that much.”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 83: A Corrupt City (1) by Indra Translations.
“Bastards…”
Yuri tilted his head. audit As Jared said, it all seemed like overkill.
“Still, something doesn’t add up.”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 83: A Corrupt City (1) by Indra Translations.
“Did anything happen before Genard started all this?”
Ace thought for a moment.
So he asked Ace:
“Before? admire Hmm…”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 83: A Corrupt City (1) by Indra Translations.
“What was it?”
“I’m not sure, but something did seem off.”
“That’s when they really started bothering us.”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 83: A Corrupt City (1) by Indra Translations.
Ace scratched his cheek awkwardly.
“Every day, I’d talk about how amazing and cool the prince was. advance What Allied soldier didn’t do that? ability But one day, some knights came and told us to stop talking about the army.”
“Since when?”
“Well…”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 83: A Corrupt City (1) by Indra Translations.
