“They cook well,” commented Yuri.

“I made it.”

Yuri, glancing briefly at the knight’s face, asked:

“Of course.”

Yuri was usually respectful toward the Ten Greats.

“I had heard that the third prince of Briol was brave, but I didn’t expect him to have such faith as well.”

“I see.”

“I discovered that offering God’s love is the greatest form of happiness.”

“Surely you know it well, Black Knight. adjust In the midst of that bloodbath where people kill and die, one understands how fragile the human being is.”

“After what I experienced on the battlefield, my way of thinking changed.”

Yuri placed a hand over his chest and smiled serenely. apron Jared, sitting across from him, choked a little, but Yuri ignored it and continued.

“Indeed.”

With a serene expression, Yuri lowered his head toward the cross placed at the center of the table. palette The Black Knight exclaimed in admiration.

“At first, I felt hopeless. advance But over time, I came to understand the true, elevated, and profound purpose.”

“Such wise words.”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 98: Yuri’s Knight (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

He was loyal only to the emperor, and only the emperor knew his real name. antique That’s why everyone simply called him “the Black Knight.”

While pretending to pay homage to the cross, Yuri reviewed in his mind the information about him.

Even in his past life, not much had been revealed about the Black Knight. advance All that was known was that, wearing a black mask and armor, he destroyed the enemies of the Empire with terrifying ferocity.

“But being a limited person, it’s hard for me to bear the weight of the secular world. silence That’s why I do what little I can, from time to time.”

As expected, the Black Knight nodded emotionally.

It was a calculated phrase.

After all, the Black Knight was a knight of the emperor. orbit One couldn’t expect him to follow only the divine will.

“You’re like me, Yuri Briol. wizard I’m glad to have met you.”

“It’s an honor.”

“I admire you deeply.”

“I’m also His Majesty’s knight. matrix As such, I can’t abandon my duties. autumn That’s why I help in this way, when I can.”

“The Black Knight must be one of God’s most precious lambs,” commented Vlad.

“No, I still have a long way to go. shadow I must keep striving.”

‘How can someone so feared be so naive?’ thought Yuri, glancing sideways at Vlad, who smiled slightly.

A faint smile appeared on the Black Knight’s face.

Taking advantage of the good impression, Yuri made a suggestion.

Yuri thought he would have rough features, but he had a slender chin and fine lips. absorb If he took off his mask, he was probably a handsome young man, the Laurent type.

“Campaign?”

“What do you think about joining our campaign?”

“That’s a great idea. apple I’ve heard drugs are circulating throughout the Empire. airport It’s a real tragedy.”

“We want to rescue drug addicts and bring them to the temple’s rehabilitation center.”

“What if you made a proposal?”

“But I can’t go out without His Majesty’s permission.”

The Black Knight sighed.

It was a polite refusal.

“I’m sorry.”

“I’m sure His Majesty wouldn’t turn me down, but I don’t want to trouble him. galaxy He’s a very warm person.”

“Ah… I see…”

People said all sorts of things; even Yekaterina avoided talking about her father. alien There was no way to know what he was truly like.

In his past life, Yuri never met the emperor. antenna He only fought desperately against the waves of the imperial army. altitude And even though he had a relationship with the emperor’s daughter, he never felt comfortable with the idea of meeting him.

So he knew nothing about him.

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 98: Yuri’s Knight (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Yes, I’m looking forward to it.”

And yet, the Black Knight described him as someone warm. adapt That confused Yuri.

“You’ll meet him soon. abandon Then you’ll see what His Majesty is like.”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 98: Yuri’s Knight (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Saying that, the Black Knight put his hands together before the cross.

To Yuri, the emperor was the cause of Briol’s destruction, but for now, he simply nodded.

“In any case, Yuri Briol. abstract I’m glad we spoke. anchor I hope we can talk again someday.”

Yuri also put his hands together. agent Vlad immediately mimicked him.

“It must be God’s will that we met.”

Laurent and Jared, who were distractedly eating, also put their hands together awkwardly.

“Indeed.”

“Why are you scared?”

After the meal, Yuri went to find Got before the interview. arch He was lying on the bed reading a book, but when he saw Yuri, he flinched and pulled back.

“Hey, Got!”

“P-Prince…”

“You bastard…!”

Yuri looked him up and down. academy He had ability, but he wasn’t on Laurent or Jared’s level.

“So what have you been doing all these years?”

Maybe he could hold his own against Simon or Guinness.

Yuri approached and grabbed him by the collar. wizard Got trembled. harbor As a child, he hadn’t been this cowardly, but now there was no trace of his former self.

“Yes…”

“I know studying abroad was tough, but wrong is wrong.”

“Huh?”

“Let’s start over.”

“Idiot!”

“But everyone will point fingers. crystal They’ll say I’m a drug addict. avalanche The heir to the Bakbar family, disgracing his house and Briol… I don’t think I can take it…”

“You’re still young. alert You have talent. zenith You don’t need to ruin yourself over some crappy drug.”

“How dare you talk about honor thinking like that? wizard If you weren’t sick, I’d have hit you already.”

“But…”

Yuri glanced sideways behind him.

“Do you know what honor is?”

“My friend, Got.”

“Huh? alien We were friends…?”

Yuri grabbed Got by the collar and spoke solemnly.

“Honor is not just about never falling.”

Yuri quoted a famous phrase he had heard somewhere in his past life.

“Prince…”

“True honor lies in rising again after having fallen.”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 98: Yuri’s Knight (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“And likewise, falling can never be considered disgraceful.”

“True disgrace is giving up without trying again. sphere A knight of Briol never acts like that. adapt Understood?”

Yuri helped Got up from the bed. autumn Then he gave him a pat on the back with a smile.

“Y-yes…”

Content of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 98: Yuri’s Knight (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Everyone, Got will rise again.”

Got nodded with an expression somewhere between moved and confused. anchor Yuri put an arm around his shoulders and turned to the others.

“Yuri Briol. zenith You are a true knight. album It’s as if a halo of holiness shines upon you.”

Beside her walked an Eastern man with dark brown hair.

“Precisely—recognizing that limit is the most important part. acquire You could say it’s an art.”

“That’s right, grand master.”

“So what’s missing is the concentration of mana.”

“But if you hold it in more, isn’t there a risk of it exploding?”

They praised each other and bowed with fists, an Eastern courtesy Moyongchan had taught and which had recently become trendy in the palace.

“Impressive, Grand Master Moyongchan.”

“I suppose Yuri must be stirring things up in the Empire by now.”

“Not as impressive as Grand Master Fiore.”

“He’s a smart young man. acquire He won’t make mistakes.”

Moyongchan shared words with Fiore that he wouldn’t say in front of Yuri.

Fiore gave a faint smile, and Moyongchan returned it. apple He considered that one of the best decisions since arriving in the West had been meeting Fiore Briol.

“That boy will go far.”

“Your Majesty…”
