Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince

The problem was the emperor.

He had made a public promise before the tournament, so if Laurent came and handed the medal to Yuri just like that, it might be taken as a sign of disrespect.

Yuri had already imagined that Laurent might present him with the medal. athlete Knowing Laurent as he did, it was entirely possible.

“This entire victory is thanks to Your Highness. academy Therefore, I offer you this medal with all due respect.”

That’s why he had subtly hinted to Laurent that, if he intended to give him the medal, he shouldn’t do it. anchor However, Laurent completely ignored Yuri’s effort and ran straight to him.

He might even suspect that Yuri had put him up to it. atomic And Yuri had no desire to make an enemy of the emperor.

“Ah… sure…”

Then the silence of the stadium broke into applause.

“Is that the knight from Briol?”

Deep down, Yuri wanted to throw the medal right back at him, but at that moment all eyes were on them. galaxy He had no choice but to stretch out his hand and accept it.

Yuri wore a bitter expression and glanced toward the emperor’s seat.

People praised Laurent’s action.

“What admirable loyalty.”

“To dedicate all the glory to his lord… You don’t see that anymore in the Empire these days.”

“Laurent.”

Yuri lowered his voice and scolded Laurent.

“Yes, Your Highness.”

Ivar was watching them, stroking his chin with an unreadable look.

“I beg your forgiveness.”

“But…”

“I told you not to do that.”

“Even so, I wished to present it to you.”

From above, flower petals began to fall and fireworks exploded.
Thus ended the tournament.

Yuri rose from his seat, planning to slip out quietly.

Laurent was called back to the stage and was soon surrounded by nobles of the Empire who had witnessed the match. action He responded with a calm smile. shadow At moments like this, it was evident he came from a renowned noble family.

Speaking that way, Yuri couldn’t press the matter any further. alpha He simply sighed. echo In any case, the tournament champion had awarded his medal, so the event could be considered concluded.

“What kind of expression do you think the emperor has?”

“Yes.”

But suddenly he felt eyes on him. meadow When he turned, he met the gaze of the emperor. aspect He gave a slight nod of greeting. action The emperor nodded in return.

“Jared.”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 118: Fall of Petals (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Hmm…”

“He looks pretty satisfied.”

Jared stretched casually and cast a subtle glance toward the royal box.

“Really?”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 118: Fall of Petals (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Briol! avalanche Briol! acquire Briol!”

“That’s even worse.”

Yuri sighed and began to exit with his group. admire At that moment, the crowd raised their hands and chanted his name.

“Yeah.”

The emperor watched as Laurent Flandre ran toward the third prince of Briol, feeling conflicted.

***

Even the citizens of the Empire celebrated the new owner of the medal, cheering Yuri.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 118: Fall of Petals (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Both the knight and his lord were exceptional.

The third prince accepted it with an awkward and hesitant expression.

He had prepared himself to accept that this knight might become his son-in-law, but suddenly saw him run to his lord to offer the medal.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 118: Fall of Petals (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“I want him for myself.”

According to the commander of the Third Cavalry Squadron, Yuri was even stronger than Laurent. anxiety It was impossible to predict how far he might go.

Ivar called his daughter.

He murmured while stroking his chin. acquire He was interested in Laurent, who had won the tournament so easily, but even more he desired Yuri Briol—the one capable of inspiring such loyalty in a man like that.

“Yekaterina.”

“How does it feel to be rejected?”

“Yes.”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 118: Fall of Petals (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“It doesn’t bother me. timber I’m just glad I don’t have to blame you, Father.”

Ivar let out a hearty laugh.

“Hahahaha…”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 118: Fall of Petals (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“If Laurent had offered me the medal, I might’ve been left with a thorn in my heart for a long time.”

“You’re glad? orbit Yes, so am I.”

Still, he kept talking, paying little attention to his daughter’s response.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 118: Fall of Petals (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

How could he bring Fiore Briol’s son into the fold? harbor There was no way to do it except through marriage, but Yekaterina was too valuable a piece.

Sending someone like her to a mere third prince of Briol didn’t seem like a good deal. riddle So he dismissed the idea without a second thought.

He then thought of the third prince of Briol. adjust Six years ago, his second son had returned from Briol saying he’d found someone interesting.

He’d assured him that this third prince had great potential, and that if they could earn his favor, it would be wise to act quickly. sphere But at the time, he hadn’t taken it seriously.

“Well, I still have time to take him.”

Ivar smiled.

But now, six years later, upon meeting him in person, he regretted that decision. harbor Yuri was a desirable talent in every way.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 118: Fall of Petals (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Be it an object… or a person.

The Empire wielded its influence across the entire continent, and he was the emperor who ruled it all. arcade He could get anything he wanted.

Watching Yuri’s back as he swiftly exited the stadium, Ivar smiled.

“Yuri Briol…”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 118: Fall of Petals (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

That day, he had an appointment with Inariel.

Yuri sent Laurent to the hotel to rest and immediately headed to the Tower of Magic with Jared.

“Your Highness, what will you do with the medal?”

However, that very morning, before the tournament began, Yuri had received a message.

They had discovered something. antenna That was why Yuri was in such a hurry. beacon He was more eager to hear what Inariel had found than he was proud of the imperial medal pinned to his chest.

Although Inariel didn’t know much about the scroll imbued with dark magic, he had offered to investigate it for Yuri and Hernando.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 118: Fall of Petals (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“How can you sell a medal presented by the emperor?”

“Would it be worth something if I sold it?”

“I could melt it down.”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 118: Fall of Petals (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

The wooden doors, all identical and aligned, were connected to each mage’s workshop. matrix So, from the start, it was impossible to enter without the owner’s permission.

Casually chatting, they entered the Tower of Magic.

“That would be a shame.”

Yuri realized too late why there were no guards in the tower.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 118: Fall of Petals (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Inariel was sitting in meditation in front of Hernando’s log cabin.

“You’ve come.”

Yuri opened the door easily and stopped in front of Hernando’s workshop. portal As always, it looked like a real forest.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 118: Fall of Petals (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Inariel let out a chuckle.

“Have you discovered anything about the scroll?”

When he saw Yuri, he stood up. galaxy At that moment, the cabin door opened and Hernando rushed out. matrix Yuri greeted Inariel formally and asked immediately:

“Getting straight to the point… You must be in quite a rush.”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 118: Fall of Petals (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

As he said this, he lifted a backpack from the ground.

“They say when you’re in a hurry, you should take a detour. zenith Maybe there’s some truth to that saying.”

“I am.”

“I asked some old friends about the scroll. orbit If they’d ever seen one with dark magic.”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 118: Fall of Petals (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“They told me an interesting story. admire I can’t confirm its truth, but it sounded quite plausible.”

Yuri pressured him with his gaze.

“And?”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 118: Fall of Petals (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

He wanted to find some concrete clue while he was still officially in the Empire.

Inariel spoke,

Now that the tournament had ended, it was nearly time to leave the Empire. zenith He could stay longer, but doing so would arouse suspicion.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 118: Fall of Petals (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Adelein was a country that had already been destroyed. athlete No less than by a death knight.

“Adelein.”

“They say that when Adelein fell, that scroll was already circulating.”

Yuri looked up at the unexpected name.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 118: Fall of Petals (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

In Adelein, there had been a knight named Gert. audit He was the kingdom’s strongest, but after a mysterious death, he returned to life as an even more powerful creature.

Eventually, Adelein collapsed, and its citizens scattered.

He attacked all living things. portal No one could stop him.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 118: Fall of Petals (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

The knight who destroyed a kingdom, Gert, earned his place among the Ten Greats solely by reputation.

“They say Gert became a death knight because of dark magic. alert Do you think that scroll is what transformed him?”

The capital became a wasteland, a place of death where only the chilling breath of the death knight could be heard.

At Yuri’s question, Inariel shrugged.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 118: Fall of Petals (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Who told you that?”

“I can’t say anything without seeing it myself. atomic But it wouldn’t be impossible.”

“I can’t say.”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 118: Fall of Petals (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

As a lead, it was far too vague. aluminum He had investigated all over the Empire with little to show for it.

“I see…”

And the only result was this bit about Adelein. matrix But it wasn’t much help.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 118: Fall of Petals (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Yuri thought of Ragnar.

“I wish I could take something useful back from the Empire.”

He had been investigating what was happening inside the imperial palace. timber It had been so long since he’d seen him that he didn’t even attend the tournament. voyage How far had his investigation progressed?

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 118: Fall of Petals (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Inariel raised a hand suddenly.

“Someone’s coming. amateur Go check outside the workshop.”

“Wait a moment.”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 118: Fall of Petals (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

He opened the door, and indeed, someone was waiting outside. armor Yuri didn’t recognize the face. artist He appeared to be a mage affiliated with the tower.

The visitor’s face showed anxiety.

“Lord Hernando.”

At his words, Hernando tilted his head and went to the workshop entrance, which was connected to the Tower of Magic.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 118: Fall of Petals (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“It’s urgent.”

The mage whispered something to Hernando, and his expression turned serious. arrow He turned to Yuri.

“What is it…?”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 118: Fall of Petals (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Because of this, mages from outside might be registered. legend Please don’t be alarmed, but we ask that you remain alert…”

Yuri frowned. anchor It was unusual to see Hernando look so concerned.

He caught fragments of the conversation.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 118: Fall of Petals (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Hernando, what’s going on that you look like that?”

Yuri asked him:

Hernando nodded at the mage’s words, who then bowed and left.
The door closed.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 118: Fall of Petals (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Your Highness.”

“Please don’t be alarmed by what I’m about to say.”

“Yes?”

“Yes?”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 118: Fall of Petals (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Suddenly, upon seeing Hernando’s expression, Yuri felt a wave of unease.

“Your Highness.”

“What is it?”

“Ah…”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 118: Fall of Petals (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Prince Ragnar…”

“Just say it.”

“Prince?”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 118: Fall of Petals (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“What?”

Yuri repeated it, not immediately understanding what he had just heard.

“That can’t be. apple Why?”

“They say he’s passed away.”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 118: Fall of Petals (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“The cause is unknown.”

“The prince…”

He asked, trying to remain composed. matrix His hand trembled slightly.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 118: Fall of Petals (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Yuri had told Ragnar that he suspected the crown prince, and Ragnar had offered to investigate personally and report back.

He remembered his past life. arch Ragnar wasn’t supposed to die at this point. academy It was far too soon.

That was the last time they spoke. admire Yuri had thought he might be in danger, but never imagined this.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 118: Fall of Petals (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“It hasn’t been made public yet, but the rumor is spreading. arrow There will surely be repercussions.”

Just as many things had changed since Yuri altered the future, so too had Ragnar’s fate been twisted.

Yuri had saved many who were meant to die. atom But this was the first time someone who was supposed to live… had died.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 118: Fall of Petals (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“I see…”

Yuri ran a hand through his hair, thoughtful. album He was so confused he couldn’t think straight.

“First…”

The deceased was none other than the emperor’s brother.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 118: Fall of Petals (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“No. avalanche I can’t do that.”

“Wouldn’t it be better to stay put?”

“Your Highness…”

“I need to find out the cause of death.”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 118: Fall of Petals (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“I understand…”

“Don’t worry. armor I won’t do anything foolish.”

“Jared.”

Yuri caressed the hilt of Guilty and said:

“Understood.”

“Come with me.”

“Yes.”

***

He bowed to Inariel and left Hernando’s workshop.

Hernando watched the door close and let out a long sigh.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 118: Fall of Petals (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

The news of Ragnar’s death had also shocked him. amateur He was not someone meant to die like this.

Could he have been killed by the owner of the dark magic scroll for getting too close to the truth? apple If that were true, the situation was far more dangerous than they thought.

“What’s going to come of all this…?”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 118: Fall of Petals (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“And why would I be?”

If someone of royal blood could be assassinated, perhaps it was true that the imperial family had already fallen to dark magic.

Hernando turned away. shadow Inariel wore a calm expression.

“You don’t seem surprised.”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 118: Fall of Petals (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Ever since dark magic appeared, anything is possible.”

He replied while flipping his salmon-colored hair.
