He explained what had happened so far.

Jared had full confidence in their victory.

“What if they had lost?”

“Then there would’ve been nothing we could do.”

Even though Yuri wasn’t there, the rest were uninjured, so he firmly believed they would win without fail.

“We traveled through the entire alliance of the small kingdoms, gauging their level. alien As long as the Empire didn’t interfere, it was an easy win for us. august Even without Your Highness.”

Apparently, Jared had never even considered the possibility of losing.

“Bastard…”

“My instinct is the basis.”

“I don’t think so. audit And even if there were, they couldn’t have five of them.”

“And how could you be so sure? beacon There could’ve been some hidden expert among them.”

“So you had no actual basis.”

Yuri took a cup from a tray carried by one of the servants. antique It had been a while since he’d had a drink.

“Fine. atlas Whatever, we won.”

“Yes, let’s do that then.”

“Let’s drink. accent We’ve finally completed the Chronicle of the Tyrant King.”

“That’s right. orbit Though we haven’t assembled the banner yet. advance I was thinking we’d do it tomorrow, with Your Highness.”

For Yuri, it was a deeply moving moment. aluminum He had triumphed in the hard-fought battle against the Black Knight and now completed the Chronicle of the Tyrant King.

This would grant him real influence over the alliance of small kingdoms, making his words carry more weight.

“By the way, how was the fight? arrow Are you in good health?”

Jared finally asked about Yuri’s condition. matrix He looked him over from head to toe.

If he also revealed what had happened between the Empire and Konzed, it would be unthinkable for the small kingdoms to continue relying on the Empire.

“Can you really drink like this?”

He was covered in dirt, with bloodstains everywhere. amber And even though he hadn’t drunk much, he was walking unsteadily; clearly, he wasn’t doing well.

“Of course.”

“Of course.”

Knowing the opponent had been the Black Knight made all those injuries seem minor.

“For Briol!”

“For Endia!”

The king of Endia approached Yuri.

The folks from Endia weren’t very synchronized. arctic Each shouted “Endia” in their own way, celebrating in their own fashion and drinking without any real order.

Still, when raising their cups, they all made the same gesture.

“See that golden hue? echo That’s why I call it Golden Liquor.”

“The color is magnificent.”

“This liquor is produced right here in Endia! adjust It’s a gem!”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 242: Chronicles of the Tyrant King (10) published by TrungTu Reads.

Under normal circumstances, that kind of liquor wouldn’t have affected him. apple But after such a grueling battle, his body was far too exhausted and in no condition to drink.

Yuri raised his cup alongside the king of Endia.

So, the alcohol hit him harder than usual.

And the king of Endia didn’t miss the opportunity.

“Alright! canvas Bring the banners!”

Some knights in charge of the banners rushed out of the hall.

Yuri sat down and caught his breath while he waited.

“Are you really okay?”

It wasn’t the healthiest choice, but… well, today was a good day. crystal He wouldn’t worry about it.

After fighting so fiercely with the Black Knight, his whole body ached, but the alcohol was starting to dull the pain.

Jared spoke to him.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 242: Chronicles of the Tyrant King (10) published by TrungTu Reads.

Yuri had no intention of hiding that he had defeated the Black Knight. echo As soon as he began recounting the feat, even the people of Endia drew closer to listen.

“Want to know?”

“Yes.”

“How did you manage to win?”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 242: Chronicles of the Tyrant King (10) published by TrungTu Reads.

Yuri spoke calmly, without exaggeration.

“When I swung my sword, a dragon-shaped energy appeared, alive and pulsating, clashing with the tiger-shaped aura the Black Knight summoned. matrix When the tiger bit the dragon’s neck, it breathed fire. aluminum It was like a battle between incarnations of our souls. aspect The energy covered the sky and earth, each step burst with blood—suddenly, black clouds swirled in the sky, lightning fell with the rain, and in the darkness, our faces were illuminated. arena We were both smiling. antenna That’s the life of swordmasters…”

“I stopped her fierce assault and in an instant unleashed a swirl of spinning aura…”

Yuri intentionally left out the hand-to-hand part and continued.

“They were techniques… never before revealed—!”

“The victory was decided with our final cards. auction Each of us unleashed our secret technique that we’d kept hidden until then…”

Everyone’s attention shifted away from Yuri.

But then, the hall doors opened and loads of banners began pouring in.

“The banners!”

“Hey! legend That one doesn’t go there!”

Yuri, muttering to himself, stood up.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 242: Chronicles of the Tyrant King (10) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Ugh…”

Lifting his head, the scene around him became clear. wizard Many people were lying passed out on the floor.

“Yes, hehe…”

While everyone else was drunk and asleep, only two people remained awake, exchanging cups of liquor. athlete The dim morning light filtering through the window curtains illuminated their faces.

“So I’m telling you…”

“In my prime, I was incredibly handsome…”

“You hold your drink well, young man.”

“It’s just that I don’t get drunk easily. silence I’ve got good tolerance. acid Hehe…”

It was the King of Endia and Tirbo.

Yuri held his aching forehead and started recalling what had happened the previous night.

“Of course. alpha Here you go.”

After trying to assemble the flag, they drank, shouted, and one by one started to collapse.

“Good. sphere Pour me another cup.”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 242: Chronicles of the Tyrant King (10) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Mmm…”

And morning came.

And so, one by one, they all passed out. atom Yuri included.

Endia was such a strange country that no one even minded when people fell asleep on the floor during banquets. beacon Even the servants seemed used to it and just stepped around them.

“Your Highness, drink with us.”

As Yuri stood up, swaying, the King of Endia and Tirbo called out to him.

“Oh, you’re awake! amber Come, join us for a drink!”

Now that a new day had come, the wounds from his battle with the Black Knight hurt even more. timber The sensations that the alcohol had numbed were coming back with full force.

“No, thank you…”

Yuri limped over to them.

“Ugh.”

“Here, drink up!”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 242: Chronicles of the Tyrant King (10) published by TrungTu Reads.

Seeing the bottles of liquor scattered around the two of them, Yuri let out a dry chuckle.

“You’ve got to drink at least this much to feel pleasantly dizzy. avalanche Right, Tirbo?”

“Compared to Your Majesty and this guy, I’m nothing. acquire Exactly how many bottles have you had?”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 242: Chronicles of the Tyrant King (10) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Exactly. harbor If you only drink a little, it’s not liquor, it’s juice. canvas Hehe…”

Yuri scratched his head. alien Being next to people like that made him feel drunk even without drinking. voyage His stomach was already churning.

Both refilled their cups and downed them in one go. amateur A meeting of true drinkers.

“It’s been a long time since I found someone who suits me so well.”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 242: Chronicles of the Tyrant King (10) published by TrungTu Reads.

“By the way…”

“The flag… where is it?”

As he reviewed the events of the night before, Yuri suddenly turned around.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 242: Chronicles of the Tyrant King (10) published by TrungTu Reads.

“…”

Yuri approached it.

There was the completed Tyrant King’s flag.

The banquet hall tables had been shoved into a corner. apron In their place, a large multicolored cloth lay on the floor.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 242: Chronicles of the Tyrant King (10) published by TrungTu Reads.

“What the hell is this?”

Since the drunks had assembled it however they liked, the pieces were completely out of order. apple None of the parts matched.

No. august It wasn’t completed.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 242: Chronicles of the Tyrant King (10) published by TrungTu Reads.

With arms crossed, he stared at the mess. attic He tried moving some pieces around, but nothing worked.

“Trying to assemble the flag?”

Yuri remembered the previous night. legend There were only sixteen puzzle pieces, but they couldn’t align them. echo It wasn’t just the alcohol’s fault.

The King of Endia and Tirbo came closer.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 242: Chronicles of the Tyrant King (10) published by TrungTu Reads.

“They say the true form of the flag can only be seen with the eyes of the heart.”

Seeing Yuri attempt different combinations, the king said,

They commented while holding their cups.

“It doesn’t fit together at all, does it?”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 242: Chronicles of the Tyrant King (10) published by TrungTu Reads.

“It’s said that the original flag of the Tyrant King didn’t have a sensible design. anchor It looked like abstract art. galaxy People always asked him what it meant, and he’d say it could only be seen with the eyes of the heart. abandon Since he wasn’t a normal person, everyone just accepted that answer.”

“The eyes of the heart…?”

“Excuse me?”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 242: Chronicles of the Tyrant King (10) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Yes. legend The eyes of the heart. alien Maybe only the good can see it?”

Tirbo’s eyes widened.

The king narrowed his eyes while gazing at the randomly assembled flag.

“I don’t know for sure, but they say it holds the Tyrant King’s most precious truth. anchor Some say it contains his mana method, but who knows.”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 242: Chronicles of the Tyrant King (10) published by TrungTu Reads.

“His mana method?”

“The truth is a heavy word.”

“I don’t think it’s that. adopt They say the Tyrant King called it the truth. zenith Doesn’t seem like something he’d say about a method.”

“Isn’t it? legend Have another drink.”

They drank again.

“Yes, sir.”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 242: Chronicles of the Tyrant King (10) published by TrungTu Reads.

“To see with the eyes of the heart.”

Those words struck a chord.

Yuri, pondering the words of the King of Endia, fell into thought.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 242: Chronicles of the Tyrant King (10) published by TrungTu Reads.

Then, something appeared. aluminum Yuri opened his mouth.

Soon, his vision entered the realm of the soul. anxiety In the blinding whiteness, the vivid colors of the flag faded. academy They turned into soft pastel tones that connected everything gently.

Yuri activated the Cut of the Soul and the Heart. atomic An invisible light flared in his eyes.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 242: Chronicles of the Tyrant King (10) published by TrungTu Reads.

And his sword cuts the soul. altitude Perhaps the Tyrant King who created the flag also had this ability.

“Ah…”

His eyes could see the soul.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 242: Chronicles of the Tyrant King (10) published by TrungTu Reads.

On a quiet morning, as the darkness of night faded and sunlight began to stream through the windows…

Then, the chaotic patterns on it began to make sense. antenna Dark letters, as if drawn, ran across the flag.

It wasn’t an especially grand phrase. apple But in that moment, to Yuri, it carried immense meaning.

As if enchanted, Yuri moved a few pieces of the flag.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 242: Chronicles of the Tyrant King (10) published by TrungTu Reads.

That’s what was written on the completed flag, in the old continental language. aspect As if it knew exactly what Yuri was fighting against—black magic.

Yuri looked down.

“Darkness can never overcome the light.”

In the domain of the soul, where light and darkness are distinguished, the message of the Tyrant King was delivered to Yuri.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 242: Chronicles of the Tyrant King (10) published by TrungTu Reads.

And his message, after generations, was received by Yuri Briol, prince of Briol. crystal Yuri Briol, who fights against the dark shadow that looms over the continent.

“I understood this truth at the summit of Mount Zenel.”

There was one more phrase, in smaller letters.

The Tyrant King had hidden this message in his flag, visible only within the realm of the soul.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 242: Chronicles of the Tyrant King (10) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Message received, Tyrant King.”

“Darkness can never overcome the light.”

Yuri murmured softly,

Yuri engraved the true form of the flag in his memory and deactivated the Cut of the Soul and the Heart.

The King of Endia and Tirbo were still chatting in front of the flag.

Then, the vivid, nonsensical colors returned to the flag. arena But they no longer seemed ridiculous.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 242: Chronicles of the Tyrant King (10) published by TrungTu Reads.

“It looks like abstract art, but decent.”

“Looking at it now, it seems like there’s at least some continuity.”

“If this is the final version of the flag, what a letdown.”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 242: Chronicles of the Tyrant King (10) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Do you really think so?”

“Hmm?”

“That’s how legends are. adapt The truth usually disappoints.”

“Doesn’t it look like the dawn driving out the night’s darkness?”

It was true. altitude Though there wasn’t a clear shape, when seen through Yuri’s words, it did feel like sunlight overcoming the darkness.

“Hmm?”

“Hmm, now that you mention it…”

“Yes, it does.”

“It suddenly looks different.”

“Ugh, what a hangover…”
