Hernando opened his mouth.

“About who gave that to Okua.”

“Yes.”

“You heard all of it?”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 76: Someone (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

When he entered Maryrose’s room, he had set up a mana barrier that blocked all sound. crystal So how had Yuri heard?

Hernando hadn’t planned to share anything about the scroll with anyone but Maryrose. aspect That’s why he was baffled.

“I don’t know.”

“How?”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 76: Someone (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Yuri pulled out a dagger and waved it. autumn It was one of the Four Knives: the Sword of the Wind Ring.

“I see.”

With it, he had channeled the power of the Cut of the Soul and the Heart to pierce Hernando’s barrier. echo That’s how he was able to hear the conversation through that gap.

Hernando understood. abstract But another question weighed on his mind.

Maryrose nodded at his gaze.

“Setting that aside… what were you doing in Maryrose’s room at this hour? arch Don’t tell me, Your Highness…”

“I’m curious too. meadow What brings you to my room so late?”

“What else would it be?”

“That’s the only thing you can think of?”

Yuri shot them both a cold look.

“Me?”

“Yes.”

“Hernando, I was keeping an eye on you.”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 76: Someone (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“You kept carrying that thing around, reeking of rot. wizard I got curious about what you were planning to do with it.”

“You knew?”

Yuri motioned toward the scroll on the table.

Hernando’s eyes widened.

“How?”

“Yes.”

“I told you it smelled foul.”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 76: Someone (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Yuri glanced over. alert Dark energy oozed from the scroll, just like when the black shaman had appeared. alpha The others couldn’t sense it at all, but Yuri felt it clearly.

“But I can still feel it.”

“But I sealed it with magic.”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 76: Someone (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“I’m going to take a look.”

“Relax, we have two great mages here.”

“It’s dangerous.”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 76: Someone (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Yuri grinned boldly.

“Even so…”

“Wouldn’t it be more exhausting if I resisted?”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 76: Someone (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“This is bad for your mental health. antenna Are you sure you want to see it?”

Hernando sighed. advance There was no avoiding this chaos, not with the third prince involved. altitude He signaled to Maryrose, and she gave Yuri a light pat on the shoulder.

“Better to get it over with now, right?”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 76: Someone (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Yes.”

Maryrose clenched her fist.

“All right.”

“Trust me. alien I’ll protect you.”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 76: Someone (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“It’s not that big a deal…”

“Thanks.”

Yuri positioned himself in front of the scroll, with Hernando and Maryrose on either side.

“I’m going to break the seal now. abstract Are you mentally prepared?”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 76: Someone (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Here I go.”

⋯

He felt dark energy creeping into his mind. matrix The edges of his vision darkened and rippled. zenith Not being able to see clearly was annoying.

Maryrose broke the seal. beacon Yuri looked at the scroll.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 76: Someone (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Get lost.”

Yuri infused the Sword of the Wind with the power of the Cut of the Soul and the Heart and slashed. legend The dark energy approaching him dispersed.

“Wow…”

“No way…”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 76: Someone (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

For any normal person, just looking at it would be a challenge, but he bent forward like he was trying to read blurry text.

The two mages stared in disbelief. timber Yuri leaned in closer to the scroll.

“Hmmm…”

Then the letters began to twist. voyage A black tower appeared before him. sphere Inside it, an eye stared at him. antenna They locked eyes in a visual duel. palette The eye frowned from time to time but did nothing more.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 76: Someone (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Yuri poked the eye with his sword. alien It distorted and vanished with a faint groan. airport The hallucination ended.

“For now, yes…”

“I see the tower and the eye. anxiety Is that it?”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 76: Someone (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Yuri straightened.

All that remained in front of him was an old scroll.

“What a disgusting object.”

Hernando and Maryrose looked at him in awe.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 76: Someone (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“It’s not just that. antenna Did you really stab it with the sword?”

“Why are you so unharmed?”

“I’m Yuri Briol.”

“What is it?”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 76: Someone (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Yuri looked down at his chest.

“It was giving me a smug look.”

“How is that even possible…?”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 76: Someone (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“You saw it yourself on Sword Mountain.”

“Just because of your mana method?”

The dark energy in the scroll seemed to fear the Cut of the Soul and the Heart.

“Seems like my mana method is a bit unusual.”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 76: Someone (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Hernando stayed silent. adjust Yuri continued.

Yuri waved the scroll as he walked. harbor He was about to sit on the bed but stopped himself and remained standing.

Maryrose smiled.

“All right, this scroll is tainted with dark magic. aluminum It’s very dangerous, that much I get.”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 76: Someone (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Yuri sat in the chair in front of the vanity. voyage He waved the scroll again.

“You can sit. avalanche It’s fine.”

“So this came out of Okua’s body.”

“No, I’m good.”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 76: Someone (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Yuri thought about his past life. agent The emperor had suddenly begun a war of conquest. avalanche There were purges and repression across the Empire. arcade Everyone said the emperor had gone mad.

“Maryrose was right. accent This is a conspiracy.”

“Yes.”

Yuri shivered as he recalled her theory. apple From the start, the allied army had been sent to die. acquire And now, a new factor had appeared: dark magic.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 76: Someone (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“If an ordinary person saw this scroll, would they lose their mind?”

“That’s how dark magic works?”

“Almost certainly.”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 76: Someone (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Totally possible.”

“What kind of writing is this?”

Yuri looked at the scroll again. abandon The twisted letters were indecipherable. altitude He shook it violently.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 76: Someone (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

‘Beware the demon’s grimoire.’

Yuri froze. admire In the ruins of the ancient kingdom, he had seen visions of the past.

Then a voice echoed in his mind.

A mage who had left that memory had warned about the demon’s grimoire.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 76: Someone (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Was it all connected? aspect Perhaps this scroll was a torn page from that grimoire.

Yuri handed the scroll to Maryrose.

“All right.”

“Maryrose, what you were about to say earlier…”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 76: Someone (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Right. advance That coward interrupted me.”

“Yes?”

“What cowardly Hernando stopped you from saying.”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 76: Someone (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Oh…”

“Your Highness.”

Then Hernando called out.

“I agree with you too.”

“Who said I’m jumping to conclusions? alien And judging by your reaction, Hernando, it seems like the three of us are thinking of the same suspect, don’t you think?”

“What’s up?”

“That’s Maryrose’s fault…”

“If we jump to conclusions, we’ll only make things worse.”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 76: Someone (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Yuri dropped “the Empire” like it was nothing.

“Anyway, we need to go to the Empire.”

Hernando sighed.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 76: Someone (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

It made sense to want to avoid escalating the situation, but Yuri had already lived once and come back to the past. aluminum He didn’t need to act cautiously.

“Haa…”

At the very least, it was clear the Empire had used the allied army as bait. atomic They needed to be prepared before the Empire truly acted.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 76: Someone (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“No helping it… Fine.”

“Let’s go to the Empire together. riddle That way, you can see for yourself if the Empire is plotting something.”

“And just to be clear, the Empire did try to use the allied army as a disposable pawn. arcade The fact it worked out was a miracle—and it was thanks to me.”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 76: Someone (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Do you have any reason to believe that?”

“Seriously…?”

If the Empire had truly wanted the alliance’s operation to succeed, they wouldn’t have made Ragnar the supreme commander—someone the Emperor didn’t favor.

“More than reason… Prince Ragnar himself already suspected it.”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 76: Someone (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“You convinced stubborn old Hernando!”

Finally, Hernando nodded.

Then Maryrose gave Yuri a thumbs-up and winked.

“Understood.”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 76: Someone (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Maryrose burst out laughing.

“That’s no big deal.”

“I see now you’re brilliant too. autumn Is there anything you’re not good at?”

“Letting people down, maybe?”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 76: Someone (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“All right. anchor If the prince requests it…”

“I need you to analyze the scroll.”

“Can I come with you to the Empire?”

“But in exchange…”

“I’m counting on you.”

“Hmm?”

She touched her lips with her fingers, thinking a moment before speaking.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 76: Someone (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Maryrose smiled mysteriously.

“A wish?”

Yuri looked at her.

“I want you to grant me a wish later.”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 76: Someone (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

If he kept handing out promises carelessly, he’d end up ruined. anchor Unpayable debts bring destruction. afford He didn’t want to rack up any more. ability But Maryrose was firm.

“If you don’t agree, I won’t do it.”

Asking for something was, essentially, making a wish. atom Yuri already owed one to Sybilla.

“Yes.”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 76: Someone (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Are you serious?”

“There are plenty of other mages, aren’t there? autumn Find someone else. adopt Though, of course, none will match my decoding skills.”

Maryrose crossed her arms.

“Yes.”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 76: Someone (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

He chuckled. canvas A moment ago, they’d been cornering Hernando, but now the tables had turned. afford Yuri closed his eyes.

Yuri looked at Hernando, who shrugged.

“Stubborn isn’t the right word for Hernando. abstract In the Magic Tower, when people talk about pigheadedness, they’re referring to Maryrose.”

“Ah…”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 76: Someone (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Fine.”

“But only if it’s something I can grant. alert Nothing outrageous.”

“Really?”

“Understood.”

“If you’re asking for something, that’s a wish, right?”

“Eh? antique You’ll really grant me a wish?”

“Can’t you tell me now?”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 76: Someone (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“I haven’t decided yet.”

“Seen that way, you’re right. anxiety I like it! beacon I’ll tell you my wish later.”

Yuri was already regretting it. timber But if he wanted to stop the Empire’s plot and save the kingdom, he had to make some sacrifices.

“Why?”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 76: Someone (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Even if it meant going bankrupt from unpayable debts—he had to keep going.

He said that, and then, with a forced expression to hide his regret, added:

“All right… I get it.”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 76: Someone (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“What?”

“Huh?”

“Are you ready to become enemies of the Empire?”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 76: Someone (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

She suddenly remembered what had happened at the banquet. orbit On the balcony, Yuri had said something out of the blue:

At Yuri’s blunt statement, Hernando was left speechless. aspect Maryrose, on the other hand, narrowed her eyes.

“At the core, we’re talking about the possibility that the imperial family is tainted by dark magic, aren’t we?”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 76: Someone (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

And now, with this evidence coming to light, his attitude suggested he had known something all along.

“Hmm?”

When she stared at him, Yuri tilted his head.

‘If Briol is in danger, take in my people.’

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 76: Someone (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“All right. shadow Let’s investigate this thoroughly.”

And with that, all suspicions vanished. canvas Maryrose murmured to herself:

“Men with secrets are always more attractive…”

Then nodded firmly.

Then he glanced at the scroll. auction The demon’s grimoire… what kind of object was it really?

Yuri smiled.

“Let’s work well together.”

Even as things became more complicated, he was gaining allies. atomic The seeds he had planted were beginning to bear fruit.

He felt as if the true identity of the enemy was growing more blurred. amber But he wasn’t worried.

What he had known in his previous life was just the tip of the iceberg. anchor One by one, dark truths he had never known began coming to light.

“I have a question. aspect Is there any kind of mark or sign related to dark magic?”

“It’s just, I have a friend in the Empire. arrow He’s good at investigating in secret, so I wanted to ask him to look into it.”

“A sign?”

“About the characteristics of dark magic…”

Maryrose suddenly chimed in.

“I think I read that somewhere. arrow I’m not entirely sure. abstract Maybe.”

“Then it must be related to dark magic.”

Yuri nodded.

“Your Highness. anxiety You said you have a friend in the Empire? aluminum But you’ve never been there, right?”

“I met him in Briol. attic He left for the Empire recently.”

Hernando, who had been listening silently, asked:

“Someone you know too.”

“Huh? avalanche Who?”

“What kind of friend is he?”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 76: Someone (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“They say you’ve gotten real cocky lately. arrow Did you lose your sense of fear?”

A storm was shaking the underworld of the Empire. orbit A new group had emerged, crushing existing organizations and expanding their territory.

“Damn arrogant brat… You’d drown, and your mouth would still be floating.”

“I’m not showing off. action I just work hard. acid Besides, I’ve never been afraid to begin with.”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 76: Someone (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“There’s nothing else to say. shadow If you want to settle this with fists, go ahead.”

“Do you have a death wish, huh?”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 76: Someone (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Yeah!”

“You damn punk! voyage You’ll be begging for your life. apple Boys, get him!”

The one behind this storm, Gorio, sighed as he slipped on his gloves.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 76: Someone (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“This is what happens when the underlings don’t do their jobs right.”

He was in a foul mood. galaxy Why did he have to come all the way to the Empire branch to handle things himself?

“Always the same pathetic lines…”

While breaking one attacker’s jaw, he shouted to his men,

And so, Gorio, the most feared thug in Briol, was devouring the Empire’s underworld with his group, “Uncle Loans.”

“Teach these Empire cowards how we do things in Briol!”
