“They asked for a priest from Briol, so I came. arch I’m good with holy magic too.”

Only then did he recognize who it was. beacon He lifted his head while still lying down and saw Sybilla sitting beside him. alert She wore ordinary clothes, already stained and worn from the long campaign.

“What are you doing here?”

“Confirm?”

“What kind of nonsense is that?”

Yuri chuckled. abstract He understood how she felt.

“No way…”

“I’m eighteen.”

Of course, he was only eighteen physically. acid But this was his second life.

“You’re a monster.”

“Something like that. auction How long did I sleep?”

“Yes.”

“So, during that time…”

“I slept that long?”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 60: Monster (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“We kept marching. athlete We carried you.”

There’s no way an experienced knight could have been dragged around for two days unnoticed.

“We put you to sleep with magic so you could recover. audit They even put a light suspension spell on the wagon so you wouldn’t wake up. acquire The knights were really worried about you.”

Yuri looked at Sybilla.

“I’m fine.”

Sybilla didn’t stop him. acoustic Every knight has their own way. palette She cast another healing spell on him.

“That must’ve been rough…”

With Sybilla’s support, he stepped out of the tent. beacon The sun was about to set. antenna The rays of dusk stretched across the Allied camp.

“Help me?”

“Raymond led Briol well.”

Sybilla shrugged.

“Your Highness, you’re awake?”

“What’s going on? attic Did I become popular?”

Several soldiers greeted him as he passed. antique But he didn’t recognize their faces.

“They’re soldiers from the Holy Kingdom.”

“Thanks to you, we survived!”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 60: Monster (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

More and more soldiers from other nations greeted him. legend The atmosphere had shifted. atom Yuri raised his hand in return.

“It’s because the final battle is near. shadow They need someone to rely on.”

Yuri smiled and said,

“Word spread about what you did. apple You achieved a lot—and even found and killed the monster that was digging tunnels.”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 60: Monster (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

To face an enemy as powerful as Okua without fear, the soldiers were making their own heroes.

“Sybilla.”

Within the Alliance, stories of brave deeds by many knights were circulating.

Sybilla’s eyes widened.

Yuri said,

“—te me. echo I mean, pretend to date me.”

Yuri sighed.

“I want you to pretend to be my girlfriend.”

“Why?”

“All of this happened because things went too well for me…”

It wasn’t something he wanted to ask. antique He didn’t like owing anyone favors.

“Well…”

Right now, because of the war, there was no pressure. adjust But once it ended, Ragnar would undoubtedly pounce.

“I want to act before it’s too late.”

“Come on, I’m a prince too…”

Sybilla thought the same.

“Why not? arcade The princess is famous for being beautiful, kind, and her family and fortune are better than yours. avalanche Wouldn’t it be good for you?”

If an Imperial prince proposed, there wouldn’t be many ways to escape. armor The worst part was that from the outside, it looked like a great opportunity for Yuri.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 60: Monster (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“And her face?”

“I don’t need royal pedigree. harbor And that sweet personality is just a façade.”

Though Yekaterina’s lineage was overwhelming.

Sybilla narrowed her eyes and smiled. arcade Yuri froze.

It wasn’t an expression she usually showed. avalanche If he had to describe it—cunning.

“Sybilla. timber Are you going to live just looking at her face? anxiety What matters is the heart.”

“Do you really think that…?”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 60: Monster (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“That would actually help you. arrow When you return triumphant with the Alliance, do you think your brother will sit still? portal He’ll probably want to marry you off to some noble. autumn If a rumor spreads that you’re dating me, he can’t do anything.”

And the fact that it had flashed for just a second made it all the more unsettling.

“You say that…”

“And what if I end up with a fake boyfriend because of you?”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 60: Monster (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Yeah, I know…”

Sybilla, who had once demanded bows like it was nothing, had matured quite a bit.

“It’s not fear, it’s common sense.”

“Are you afraid I’ll ask for something absurd?”

He never made careless deals like granting wishes.

“That…”

“Forget it if you don’t want to.”

Sybilla stood firm. album Yuri shook his head again.

“Yuri! advance You’re awake!”

“T-thank you, Your Highness.”

“And wouldn’t you know it, my niece is very interested in Alliance news—especially everything you do. acid Yuri Briol, what an incredible young man!”

Yuri was already beginning to regret his decision. atomic But it was too late. palette Things had already spiraled beyond control.

Sybilla nodded, showing that cunning smile she had revealed for only a second before.

‘Wish or whatever, fine. alpha Do what you want.’

Ragnar threw an arm over his shoulders. august Before being completely trapped by the man’s bulk, Yuri shot a desperate look at Sybilla.

“We’re dating.”

“Yes…”

“Is that true?”

He had joined with the purpose of correcting the mistakes of his past life. afford And so far, they had reached Okua’s doorstep without a single defeat. antique A far greater achievement than in his previous life.

Yuri, recalling the origin of the orcs he had seen in the ancient prairie kingdom, nodded silently.

“With the knights of the Empire, Briol, and the Holy Kingdom gathered here, we can’t lose to mere orcs. riddle Those filthy creatures—no one even knows how they were born—but they must be exterminated.”

Ragnar looked at Sybilla and continued,

“To establish an institution that continues hunting and controlling orcs, so they can’t reorganize.”

“When the Alliance campaign ends, I’ll propose keeping troops in the region.”

“You mean…?”

His words echoed the revival of the ancient hunter corps from the kingdom. afford Perhaps this was how history repeated itself.

“It’s a great decision.”
