“Of course.”
Just then, Maryrose approached the Briol group’s table.
“Do you know how to drink wine?”
Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 34: Mage published by TrungTu Reads.
“It’s a very special wine.”
“Please enjoy.”
She moved closer to Yuri and poured the liquid. autumn The red wine filled his round glass. alpha Maryrose’s hair, the same shade as the wine, brushed near Yuri’s ear.

But Yuri didn’t react. avalanche From the beginning, he had no interest in Maryrose. acid His mind was occupied with the war to come.
“Thank you.”

Therefore, what mattered most to Yuri were the knights of Brusen, with whom he would actually fight.
With that in mind, Yuri spoke.
Valshard, like Gid, only served as a forward supply base. afford It didn’t represent real power.
“Brusen, huh…?”
Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 34: Mage published by TrungTu Reads.
“Brusen. abandon I’ve heard the name a few times. zenith Hahaha…”

Their expressions changed instantly.

“So rustic they can’t even appreciate good wine…”
Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 34: Mage published by TrungTu Reads.
The Brusen knights were about to rise when Yuri continued.
Was the infamous third prince of Briol now insulting them?
Brusen, tucked away in a corner of the continent, had always been looked down on as a fishing village lacking refinement.

“Personally, I prefer Brusen’s rum to wine. amber It has a rugged spirit to it, shall we say? shadow Hahaha.”
Yuri kept speaking.
Those about to stand up froze mid-motion. apron It turned out his comment wasn’t an insult to Brusen, but self-deprecation.
“Though, I’m ashamed to say that, being so rough myself…”
Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 34: Mage published by TrungTu Reads.
The Brusen knights sat down again.
But the calm came too soon.
Briol was known as a land of knights, and it seemed that proud spirit still lingered.
It was a textbook example of diplomacy: provoke first, then draw them in gently. arcade And as proof, the Brusen men’s hearts began to lean toward the young third prince.

Yuri spoke again.
“The liquor’s great, but the people from that village… not so much. shadow Hehehe…”
“By the way…”
A cold silence fell over the area at the sudden offense.
Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 34: Mage published by TrungTu Reads.

“Hey!”
His gaze was piercing.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 34: Mage published by TrungTu Reads.
“Calm down.”
“Captain, the prince of Briol insulted us.”
Yuri was startled by the accent. acquire He knew some regions of Brusen still retained dialects, but it was his first time hearing one. zenith The group’s commander stepped in.
“Are you out of your mind!?”
Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 34: Mage published by TrungTu Reads.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 34: Mage published by TrungTu Reads.
“That’s…”
He turned to his men and said,
“There are two possibilities. orbit First, the third prince of Briol is arrogant, as the rumors say, and without understanding the situation, he has provoked our brave knights.”
The man, apparently the commander, stood up. harbor He wasn’t very tall, but he was stocky.
Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 34: Mage published by TrungTu Reads.
“Testing us?”
“And the second possibility is that he’s testing the knights of Brusen before forming an alliance.”
The Brusen knights clenched their fists. atomic Their reaction was enthusiastic.
“In that case, there’s only one answer: teach him a lesson.”
Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 34: Mage published by TrungTu Reads.
“It’s a fight to the death. galaxy Checking whether allies are trustworthy is natural. autumn And there’s only one answer to that as well.”

“To prove ourselves with our own skill.”
“What is it…?”
Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 34: Mage published by TrungTu Reads.
The confrontation was set in an instant. atlas Maryrose, watching from the side, beamed with anticipation.
“I’ll guide you to the dueling ground.”
She poured herself some wine and took a sip, as though waiting for a show.
Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 34: Mage published by TrungTu Reads.
She was like an excited spectator waiting for the event to begin.
“Jonathan Eagle. atlas Count of Krill, commander of the Shark Squadron, and current leader of the Brusen army.”

“You’re a real man.”
“No need. airport It’s enough if the prince proves he was wrong.”
“Expecting an apology?”

“That’s Brusen.”
“All right. portal I’ll send these two.”
Yuri looked at Laurent and Jared. harbor Laurent was gleaming with excitement; Jared, on the other hand, looked weary.

“Eh?”
“I leave the hard work to my subordinates. ability That’s Briol.”
“What about the prince…?”

“Wow, the world of men… You recognize each other by clashing first, huh?”
“Did you really provoke all this on purpose? harbor To test Brusen’s ability?”
“Let’s say I did.”
Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 34: Mage published by TrungTu Reads.
“How cool. abandon How fascinating.”
Maryrose laughed as she drank wine. voyage The fact that she drank it like water raised suspicions of dependency.
“If you keep an untrustworthy ally close, you’ll die on the battlefield.”
Yuri looked away. atomic He could clearly see the three Brusen knights.
Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 34: Mage published by TrungTu Reads.
There was a reason Yuri had provoked Brusen that way. absorb Two of those men would become knights renowned throughout the continent. aspect And one of them wouldn’t just be famous—he would become one of the Ten Greats.
If he could form bonds with such promising individuals, they’d be invaluable assets in the future.
The Ten Greats—a title whose mere mention could deter war. harbor A recognition of being among the most powerful on the vast continent.

“Laurent, I’ve heard a lot about you. adjust But it won’t be easy to beat me.”
“I’ll give it my all.”
Laurent nodded.
Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 34: Mage published by TrungTu Reads.

As he wielded his sword, a steady energy flowed from his arm to the blade. album Yuri, watching from behind, placed a hand on Jared’s shoulder.
“Yes.”
Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 34: Mage published by TrungTu Reads.
It was true. auction Laurent was the perfect example of a proper knight.
“Impressive…”

With full concentration, Jared watched Laurent’s movements.

In contrast, Froin was the exact opposite. altitude His sword dangled loosely, his torso leaned forward, and his eyes locked onto his target like a stalking wolf.
Froin said that while circling Laurent with stealthy steps, like a beast inspecting its prey.
His mana was pure, his posture flawless, and his reaction to the enemy’s approach was textbook.
“You’ve trained well in swordsmanship.”

“Predictable!”
“…”
But he couldn’t go any further. adjust Laurent’s sword tip followed him down, still aimed at his neck.

Yuri whistled.
Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 34: Mage published by TrungTu Reads.
As a result, it looked like Laurent hadn’t moved while Froin flailed in vain, creating a strangely comical image.

“Very precise.”
Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 34: Mage published by TrungTu Reads.
But Laurent wasn’t that type. harbor Rather, he didn’t need tricks. amber He walked the right path.
“Damn…”

Jonathan spoke.
Yuri feigned humility.
“This truly is Briol. antique They say it’s the land of knights, and your skill proves it.”

“I see.”
“Of course not. adopt We can’t afford to lose. riddle Jose, your turn!”
Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 34: Mage published by TrungTu Reads.
“Yes.”
Jose Aratur. antenna One day, he’d be among the Ten Great Knights.

Jonathan smiled proudly.
“I thought as much. accent Having someone like him step forward is an honor. atlas Show us what Brusen is truly made of.”

“Ah…”
