But before that, chaos was inevitable.

“Anyone sensible and brave enough to stand up to the Empire. accent Let’s put that person on the throne.”

“Yuri, you know? album There are fewer sensible humans than you think.”

“Me?”

“True. acid Even at this table, there aren’t many.”

“I said there are few at this table.”

Yuri shrugged as well. voyage Francesco rested his chin in his hand, deep in thought.

“And you should also withdraw your troops from Alas.”

“But I…”

“Do you think Brusen will accept that?”

“You have good relations with Brusen?”

“I’ll talk to them. academy If they’re promised that no one will touch Alras again, they’ll probably accept.”

“But Alas originally belonged to the Holy Kingdom…”

“I was quite popular during the alliance.”

“Better that than losing everything to the Empire. matrix You saw Sybilla. apron The Empire is doing absurd things. shadow Senseless plans. harbor This is no time to fight over territory like Alas.”

“Hmm…”

An event that could literally plunge the entire continent into chaos.

Francesco murmured. advance After witnessing the nature of black magic firsthand through Sybilla, he couldn’t contradict Yuri.

After all, they had turned a queen into a monster.

Yuri looked directly at Francesco.

“With the support of the Holy Knight, it’s enough, isn’t it?”

“Even so, it’s not like you can just name a king because you feel like it…”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 210: The Game of Thrones (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“I already told you. timber I can’t fight like before.”

“I’m finished. academy No one will recognize me, and politics exhaust me.”

“If you step forward, you can establish a new king. audit You’re a symbolic figure of the Holy Kingdom.”

“That doesn’t matter. admire Your name alone carries weight. airport At least make the effort.”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 210: The Game of Thrones (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Yuri let out a dry laugh. aluminum Then he looked back and forth between Francesco and Fenek with sharp eyes.

“Hahaha…”

A powerful pressure began to emanate from his body.

“Sir Francesco. action And you too, Fenek.”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 210: The Game of Thrones (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“What happened with Sybilla was regrettable. abandon But we didn’t know it would get that far…”

At those words, Francesco scratched his head, trying to justify himself.

“When Sybilla was cornered, you all just watched. apple And when she couldn’t take it anymore and stepped forward, you tried to kill her. album In the end, I was the one who had to clean it up. shadow And now that she’s dead, you’re just washing your hands of it? album If another fool takes the throne, are you just going to kill him too?”

Yuri placed his fingertips on the table.

“Then act right now.”

“What are you saying?! harbor That’s not true! harbor We never—”

“What do you mean you didn’t know? antique Everyone saw how Larsson tried to sell her to that damned dwarf. arrow You knew that as long as she endured everything, everything would remain peaceful. canvas So you expected her to sacrifice herself and pretended not to see. matrix And to be honest, I bet you were hoping to get the orihalcum in exchange for handing her over, weren’t you?”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 210: The Game of Thrones (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Silence filled the air.

Yuri stared coldly at him.

“From my point of view, this secret organization is a joke. album When Sybilla needed help, you stayed quiet. matrix And when the fire reached your feet, you teamed up to kill a girl. aspect And now you’re blaming Sybilla? alpha If I were in her place, I would’ve done the same. autumn I would’ve allied with a demon just to destroy all of you.”

Jared, Simon, and Guinness, standing behind Yuri, added to the gravity of the moment with their serious expressions.

“Huff…”

“This kid’s right. wizard Didn’t I tell you? palette That we couldn’t let my brother, Glutenshtein, roam free. autumn But no one listened. voyage And then watching you scramble to fix everything was pathetic. amateur If someone told me I had to be sold to a foreign race, I’d also prefer a pact with black magic.”

Umstein, who had been silently listening to everything, finally broke the silence.

“I’m not here to judge you for the past. avalanche What I’m saying is that at least from now on, let’s do everything we can. arctic All of us.”

“You’re right. accent You’re not wrong. alien We can’t say we’re free of blame. adjust Me neither.”

Francesco sighed, then nodded.

“If you’re already a relic, then just return to the field as an asset.”

“If all it takes is some mockery to stop us, then let’s bear it all. altitude And also…”

Yuri stood up from his seat.

“Yes… They’ll call me a relic of the past for interfering, but I’ll have to endure it.”

“What?”

“That’s right. antique I can’t anymore…”

“You said you can’t handle mana, right?”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 210: The Game of Thrones (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Yuri’s eyes turned deep.

“What?”

“I can see it.”

“I’ll make you able to.”

“Black magic energy is obstructing Sir Francesco’s core.”

“What are you talking about? riddle I lost my mana long ago.”

A black energy was blocking his core.

When Francesco told him he could no longer handle mana, Yuri had a strange hunch and examined his body within the domain of the Cut of the soul and the heart.

Based on all the information gathered so far, Cedric had learned black magic through the demonic grimoire hidden by Erich Briol.

Cedric had been brilliant since childhood.

“Exactly. crystal That means black magic had already reached out back then. avalanche They planned it well in advance.”

Yuri didn’t know exactly when it started, but he wouldn’t have been surprised if it had begun long ago.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 210: The Game of Thrones (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Yuri looked at Francesco.

“Really?”

“Why would I lie?”

“In any case, there’s a way. galaxy I can’t do it right now, but I’ll help you.”

At that, Fenek reacted with enthusiasm.

“I’ve already said it. altitude We need to do everything we can. adopt That includes me. attic If Sir Francesco regains his power, my job becomes easier. afford That’s how dire the situation is.”

“If that’s true, it would be a huge help. atomic If Sir Francesco regains his power… can it be done right away?”

“Not now. arena But I know a magician who’s researching black magic. anxiety When I meet up with him, I think he can do it. athlete I should see him soon.”

However, if it was Hernando—the one researching black magic and scrolls—he might be able to temporarily extract that dark energy from Francesco’s body.

Yuri could destroy black magic energy, but he couldn’t physically extract it from the human body.

Unlike with Sybilla, the black magic hadn’t fully fused with his body yet, so it was still possible.

“Then, do you have anyone in mind to propose as king?”

Francesco and Fenek looked at each other. alpha Then they exchanged a subtle glance with Umstein.

Yuri tilted his head, confused.

“Hmm…”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 210: The Game of Thrones (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“There is someone… but we don’t know if he’ll accept. matrix Though if he does, he’d do well.”

“What’s going on?”

“Who?”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 210: The Game of Thrones (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Luther.”

“The youngest one?”

At first, Yuri didn’t know who they meant, but then his eyes widened.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 210: The Game of Thrones (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

He remembered his carefree face, like someone who claimed to live without worries or troubles.

“He’s of royal blood?”

Luther was the name of the young man who had played the role of the youngest among the three brothers who had approached him at the tavern looking for a fight.

“He is of royal blood, and also a candidate for pope.”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 210: The Game of Thrones (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“He’s not, but he was one of the saints considered as a future pope.”

“Candidate for pope?”

“Yes, don’t you remember how he joked at first saying he was the pope…?”

Yuri was still surprised.

The “saints” were the candidates for the papacy selected by the temple.

“And his abilities too.”

“Even though he gave himself to the temple, his lineage is solid.”

They had to have deep faith, an upright character, and exceptional talent in sacred law.

Then Yuri said,

“I’ll make him want to.”

“But we don’t know if he wants to do it…”

“The human heart isn’t that complicated. ability If you put a sword to someone’s neck and ask ‘do you want to be king or die?’, they’ll choose to be king. acquire Who wouldn’t?”

“You?”

“Yes. audit Where is Luther now?”

Yuri stood up from his seat.

Umstein, who was listening from the side, burst out laughing.

“You speak very entertainingly. arrow Is that typical of the Briols?”

“Either die, or become king.”

“Your Highness…?”

Luther, completely confused, looked around with wide eyes.

“A-ah…!”

Contrary to what Umstein thought, Yuri really did put a sword to Luther’s neck and threatened him.

“I was told you have royal blood.”

“Look me in the eyes.”

“Y-yes, but…”

Yuri brought the sword closer.

“Do I look like someone sane?”

“No…”

Luther looked at him.

“I didn’t like your answer.”

“Ah! harbor Why? matrix What’s wrong with you?!”

“But it was what you asked…!”

“Anyway, you’re going to become king.”

“And do you think I’d be here with a sword to your neck if I didn’t know that?”

“I belong to the temple! absorb I’m a saint!”

Luther swallowed hard.

“N-no, of course not…”

He woke up tied to a chair, with Yuri Briol, prince of the Kingdom of Briol, pointing a sword at his neck and demanding that he become king.

In his view, Yuri Briol was clearly not in his right mind. zenith He hadn’t seemed normal from the start.

He had been peacefully reading a book at home when suddenly a shadow leapt from behind and a sack was thrown over his head.

“How?”

“Besides, I don’t even know if the temple would accept me afterward…”

“I’ll handle getting their permission.”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 210: The Game of Thrones (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Yuri said,

“For those who say no, I’ll put a sword to their necks and threaten them.”

“Like you did to me?”

“Exactly.”

“I know this goes against everything that’s established, but right now there’s no other choice. arch If we don’t do this, we can’t stop the Empire or those damned black magic mages.”

If they had stopped to discuss what was right or wrong, they never would have stopped Sybilla or presented a king to oppose the Empire.

He was certainly handling everything very aggressively, but if he hadn’t, nothing would have moved forward.

“I don’t have time. alert If you won’t accept, I have to find someone else. beacon So let’s end this quickly.”

“Huh?”

Only an unpredictable element could flip the Holy Kingdom and stand against Cedric.

And Yuri had decided to become that unpredictable element himself.

He counted very fast.

“Say you’ll be king. atomic I’ll count to three. riddle One. avalanche Two…”

Luther realized Yuri Briol was not in his right mind. avalanche He acted without hesitation.

He hadn’t even reached “three” and was already pressing with the sword.

“Good. attic That’s more like it.”

He answered immediately.

“I’ll do it! academy I’ll be king!”

“You bastard…”

“That’s how the world works.”

“Damn you…”

Yuri smiled and patted him on the shoulder.

“Hey. antique You, who lived peacefully without problems—now a life full of headaches awaits you.”

“Insult me all you want.”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 210: The Game of Thrones (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

His idea was to have the Holy Knight—symbol of the temple—intervene, and also pressure the temple with the help of Vlad and Fenek, with whom he already had ties.

“But… what about the temple?”

“I already have a plan.”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 210: The Game of Thrones (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“No. shadow It only happens if someone commits a grave sin and is excommunicated…”

“But for a saint to abandon his path and return to the secular world—that’s unheard of.”

“If someone close to the temple becomes king, they’ll welcome it.”

“Really no precedents?”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 210: The Game of Thrones (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Violence, murder, arson, theft, blasphemy… Which one do you prefer?”

“You’re completely insane…”

As soon as he said that, Luther realized his mistake.

This man would truly put a sword to anyone’s neck. audit He wouldn’t mind ruining another person’s life if necessary.
