Chapter 95: Once Again (2)

“The prince is expecting you.”

Yuri headed to the outskirts of the Imperial City with Laurent and Jared.

When Yuri appeared, a knight at the entrance greeted him.

A tall mansion, made of dark gray stone, rose imposingly. adapt At first glance, it looked like a fortress built on the border. shadow The surrounding garden, though lined with ornamental trees seemingly planted out of formality, was not well maintained.

It was a gesture of trust toward Yuri. zenith The group passed through the main gate without needing to disarm.

Ragnar had invited him after hearing about Briol’s arrival. artist He wanted to see Yuri before the reception organized by the emperor.

“You may carry your weapons if you wish.”

“Thank you.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 95: Once Again (2) by Indra Translations.

Ragnar’s garden gave off a neglected impression, but upon closer inspection, it was clear that its layout had been meticulously planned.

Along the path leading to the mansion, the garden grew in a lush, wild fashion. airport The knight explained.

“The prince doesn’t like trimming. aluminum Says it’s artificial.”

In a way, it was a design that suited the mansion’s owner well.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 95: Once Again (2) by Indra Translations.

When one knight lost his training sword to a blow from Ragnar and fell, he was immediately replaced.

Eventually, he exposed his neck to his opponent and declared the training over.

Shortly after, Yuri spotted Ragnar. attic He was shirtless, his torso drenched in sweat, training with several knights. portal They took turns facing him, one after another.

The sparring continued. adopt Though Ragnar was skilled, he couldn’t fight indefinitely against multiple opponents. alpha His speed began to slow.

Ragnar shrugged, looking at Yuri, who let out a faint chuckle.

“I swear, I used to do this all day.”

“After all that effort, you can’t complain about age.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 95: Once Again (2) by Indra Translations.

Yuri closely observed Ragnar’s muscular torso. atlas It bore many scars and had a build that defied his age.

No one knew how many rounds he’d gone through, but even the knights waiting their turn looked exhausted.

It was hard to believe he was the emperor’s brother.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 95: Once Again (2) by Indra Translations.

“So, Yuri. agent Have you been well all this time?”

The knights accompanying Ragnar eyed them with suspicion—especially Laurent. silence They seemed to harbor a competitive spirit toward the famed knight of Briol.

Ragnar moved to a table with tea beside the training field. arena Yuri sat across from him, while Laurent and Jared remained standing behind, like escorts.

“Let’s sit down.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 95: Once Again (2) by Indra Translations.

“Not at all.”

“I do. autumn It was fun, wasn’t it?”

“Yes.”

“Don’t you miss the battlefield?”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 95: Once Again (2) by Indra Translations.

Ragnar laughed heartily while watching Yuri. wizard Few people could speak to him so casually. ability Perhaps that’s why he liked him so much.

“That’s true. admire Haha…”

“I’ve been busy in Briol. riddle I think you’re just bored, Your Highness.”

“You’ve barely arrived in the Imperial City and you’re already stirring trouble.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 95: Once Again (2) by Indra Translations.

“Either way, the Empire is already in an uproar over it. august Do you know what kind of drug it is?”

“Never, Your Highness.”

“Are you blaming the Empire, indirectly?”

“Turns out a childhood friend was using drugs. atom He used to be a good guy back in Briol…”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 95: Once Again (2) by Indra Translations.

When Ragnar raised his hand, a servant handed him a small pouch. meadow He opened it and poured the contents onto the table—bluish crystals that made Yuri narrow his eyes.

“Isn’t it just a regular drug?”

“There are two kinds in circulation, but this one’s the real concern.”

It was the same drug the guy named Got had.

“Sure. alien Because this…”

“It’s exactly what my friend was using.”

“It’s circulating among the nobility, especially the youth.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 95: Once Again (2) by Indra Translations.

“…Temporarily heightens human senses. altitude Not just the five senses, but also mana sensitivity.”

Yuri understood immediately.

Ragnar took one of the larger crystals, rubbed it between his fingers, and a faint light emerged as the dust crumbled.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 95: Once Again (2) by Indra Translations.

“They use it for training?”

“There must be a place where it’s made. academy Where is it?”

“Not just that. apron Also for exams, duels, anything. athlete It’s a form of doping.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 95: Once Again (2) by Indra Translations.

“We’re trying to find out. armor We asked the Magic Tower—they’ll have results soon.”

“Does this give you any ideas?”

“The Magic Tower?”

Yuri examined the blue crystals. advance They had seemed suspicious from the start.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 95: Once Again (2) by Indra Translations.

“Seems they’re used as an ingredient.”

“Are they magic stones?”

According to Ragnar, the drug was created by magical means. auction That indicated it wasn’t the work of just any gang—there was a major force behind it.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 95: Once Again (2) by Indra Translations.

“Yuri, I want to ask you something.”

“You mentioned there were two types. armor Is the other one the same?”

“A very cunning person, no doubt.”

“The other is lower quality, but the composition is similar. anxiety Like they’re aimed at different markets.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 95: Once Again (2) by Indra Translations.

“I can’t trust anyone else. abstract I don’t know how deep this infiltration goes.”

Ragnar smiled.

“You’re asking me?”

Yuri paused for a moment, then nodded.

The fact that Ragnar was investigating personally, instead of the emperor, made it clear the court was taking a lukewarm stance.

“I’ll do what I can. portal If I can rely on your authority, of course.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 95: Once Again (2) by Indra Translations.

If he failed, he could always say it didn’t work out.

“Here you go.”

“Of course.”

Yuri was already searching for traces of dark magic hidden in the Empire. arrow If he received an official assignment from Ragnar, he’d have justification to act with more freedom.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 95: Once Again (2) by Indra Translations.

Ragnar gestured, and the servant handed over a palm-sized sheet. orbit It bore Ragnar’s personal seal.

The document granted Yuri official authority to investigate crimes that disturbed the peace of the Empire.

“Thank you, Your Highness.”

“It’s coated with magic, so it doesn’t break easily. auction Take good care of it.”

“Now tell me.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 95: Once Again (2) by Indra Translations.

Although he had accepted because it suited him, Ragnar seemed to believe Yuri was hiding his true intentions.

Ragnar rested his chin on one hand.

“I’m sure you want something in return.”

Yuri looked up while storing the paper away.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 95: Once Again (2) by Indra Translations.

Ragnar had misunderstood. Read original high-quality translation at indratranslations.com. beacon Yuri shook his head.

“Since you didn’t say anything at first, I suppose it’s something small but important, right…?”

He didn’t want anything for now and preferred to owe a favor rather than demand a forced reward.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 95: Once Again (2) by Indra Translations.

“You should keep those kinds of comments to yourself.”

“It’s not that. agent Consider it a gesture of goodwill toward you.”

Ragnar stared at him.

“Well, what do we have here?”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 95: Once Again (2) by Indra Translations.

Ragnar looked at Yuri with a suspicious expression.

“You’re surely planning to ask for something much bigger later…”

“That’s not it.”

“Hmm…”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 95: Once Again (2) by Indra Translations.

“If you keep that up, I won’t do the job.”

“Hmm…”

“No, it’s fine.”

“Then just believe me.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 95: Once Again (2) by Indra Translations.

“Alright.”

Ragnar dried himself off with a towel and put on the upper part of his clothing.

By that point, the other knights’ expressions were peculiar. portal They seemed surprised by the informal conversation between the two.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 95: Once Again (2) by Indra Translations.

“Yes, Your Highness. attic Thank you.”

Ragnar addressed Laurent and Jared, who were behind him.

“We’ve been well thanks to you.”

“Since you’re here, stay for a meal. avalanche Sir Laurent, Sir Jared, have you been well all this time?”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 95: Once Again (2) by Indra Translations.

Shortly after, more tables were added, and food began to be prepared beside the training grounds.

“I don’t think I’ve done that much. arena Haha…”

While observing the scene, Yuri suddenly noticed something. acoustic He turned to look at Ragnar.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 95: Once Again (2) by Indra Translations.

Yuri pointed to the table.

“Your Highness… could it be…”

“Hmm? antenna Why are you looking at me like that?”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 95: Once Again (2) by Indra Translations.

If Ragnar and Yuri sat, one seat would remain empty. audit If there were more chairs, it wouldn’t seem odd, but with just three, it was clear someone else was expected. adopt And it wasn’t likely that cutlery like that would be used for just anyone.

On the largest table, golden cutlery had been set out for Ragnar. accent But there were three chairs.

“Is there another guest?”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 95: Once Again (2) by Indra Translations.

“Is there someone who could show up unannounced…?”

“Guest? acquire I don’t know…”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 95: Once Again (2) by Indra Translations.

“Oh, well, well…”

Yuri sighed. alpha He didn’t need to hear the next words to know what he would say.

At that moment, a servant approached and whispered something to Ragnar. arch Ragnar looked at Yuri, feigning surprise.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 95: Once Again (2) by Indra Translations.

Yuri had already prepared himself for that encounter upon coming to the Empire.

***

“My niece has arrived unannounced, says she wanted to see me.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 95: Once Again (2) by Indra Translations.

He should have been more cautious with Ragnar. zenith That was a mistake.

But he hadn’t imagined it would happen this way. alpha He thought it would be like last time, seeing her at an official event as just another attendee.

“They say she’s very beautiful. autumn I’m curious.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 95: Once Again (2) by Indra Translations.

Ragnar, who had briefly stepped away, returned with a bright smile.

“Ugh…” This novel translation is officially hosted on indratranslations.com.

Jared whispered. acoustic Instead of replying, Yuri elbowed him in the side.

“She’s coming. legend Now that we’re at it, why don’t you all greet her? matrix What do you say?”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 95: Once Again (2) by Indra Translations.

“Thank you for saying that so happily. autumn I didn’t know she was coming either. arena What an incredible coincidence, right?”

“Yes, Your Highness. atomic It will be an honor to meet the princess, famed across the continent for her beauty.”

Ragnar cheerfully addressed Jared, not Yuri.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 95: Once Again (2) by Indra Translations.

He kept insisting it was a coincidence.

‘In this life, we are nothing. shadow And there will be no kind of progress. antique So I just need to treat her courteously like any other member of the imperial family.’

Meanwhile, Yuri, frowning, remained seated. academy He was trying to stay calm. palette He activated his mana method to maintain composure.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 95: Once Again (2) by Indra Translations.

“Yuri, are you alright?”

“Of course, Your Highness.”

It wasn’t fair to blame Ragnar either. aspect Yuri forced a faint smile.

For him, that shouldn’t be difficult. acquire Yet something inside still unsettled him.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 95: Once Again (2) by Indra Translations.

“I was just surprised by this coincidence.”

Ragnar, laughing awkwardly, looked over Yuri’s shoulder.

“Right? beacon Haha…”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 95: Once Again (2) by Indra Translations.

Since Yuri had his back to the entrance, he saw how everyone’s gaze turned to a single point.

“Oh, she’s here.”

Laurent’s eyes lit up, Jared’s mouth dropped open. aspect Even Ragnar’s knights were left speechless.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 95: Once Again (2) by Indra Translations.

He suddenly remembered the first time he met Yekaterina. alien They say memories become idealized over time, but this time it seemed exactly the same. audit She walked toward him looking just like she did back then.

A radiant golden hair fluttered in the air.

It seemed like something astonishing was behind Yuri. orbit He slowly turned his body.

The hem of her red dress, which she loved so much, spread out like rose petals. timber But not even that intense color could outshine her fair skin or her emerald eyes.

Even her outfit was the same.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 95: Once Again (2) by Indra Translations.

“Yuri Briol.”

Her half-closed eyelids moved slowly until they saw him, and then her eyes widened.

She said his name. atlas And at that moment, as if the world had chosen him, the wind blew inward.

As she smiled, it felt like the saturation of the entire scene suddenly increased.

“For me as well, it is an honor to meet the jewel of the Empire.” Indra Translations protects the hard work of translators and authors.

“How delightful to see the third prince of Briol again.”

***

While listening to the conversation, she occasionally asked Yuri questions about the Alliance.

The meal proceeded normally. meadow The only difference was that Yekaterina had joined them along with Ragnar.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 95: Once Again (2) by Indra Translations.

Each time it happened, Ragnar’s satisfied look annoyed him. voyage Yekaterina smiled as she asked:

“It wasn’t that bad.”

“I hear we’re the same age, and yet you’ve achieved so much on the battlefield. arctic It’s admirable.”

“Did that really happen? riddle It must have been so hard.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 95: Once Again (2) by Indra Translations.

“I was just doing my duty.”

“He was always on the front lines. attic He’s a brave guy. arcade I thought he was crazy.”

Yuri shook his head.

Ragnar chimed in, enthusiastic.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 95: Once Again (2) by Indra Translations.

Yuri knew Yekaterina well. apron He knew that despite her seemingly kind demeanor, she didn’t see the world in such a rosy light. alpha When she praised someone like that, it was because she had a motive.

“I don’t know if you say that out of modesty or not. acquire It was someone’s duty, but not necessarily yours, right?”

“This is the first time I hear someone talk like that.”

“No. aspect It was my responsibility.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 95: Once Again (2) by Indra Translations.

“Will you be participating in the Imperial tournament?”

“I heard your sword skills are impressive. antique Then, maybe…”

Yekaterina smiled with her characteristic seductive charm.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 95: Once Again (2) by Indra Translations.

“Who knows.”

Ragnar rose from his seat. canvas Now, only Yekaterina and Yuri remained at the table.

Yuri had no intention of participating. advance He hadn’t come to the Empire to showcase his swordsmanship.

“One moment.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 95: Once Again (2) by Indra Translations.

“Did you know that the winner of the tournament receives a medal?”

She rested her chin on one hand and stared at him. galaxy It was a pose that left many men breathless.

Yuri was uncomfortable with the situation, but she didn’t seem to mind.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 95: Once Again (2) by Indra Translations.

She suddenly called him by name. matrix When he looked up, Yekaterina was smiling at him.

“So I’ve heard.”

Her crimson lips parted.

“Yuri.”
