Hey guys! Here's the next chapter of Kingdom Fall, Kingdom Rise! And Reader Review Responses:

Guest- I will along with a few other couples.

Chapter 3

"When did you regain your memories, Sloth?" Wrath asked his comrade as the duo left the country.

"Way before you did. It was about when I first touched my sword as children." Sloth looked at the gray blade that rested in its sheath. "It was really hard to watch you become engaged to that woman."

Wrath froze. "I almost did what?" The former king looked ready to pass out right there.

"You almost did." Sloth reminded him. "But you didn't. You can still marry Lust."

The color slowly returned to Wrath's face. "Let's just focus on trying to find the others. We'll need them."

Sloth nodded. He tried to focus on the other rulers but he couldn't.

Not all of their powers had returned, but they were able to travel short distances and sense other rulers. Of course there were limits there, too. They couldn't tell who they were sensing.

Sloth prayed it was Greed. He was barely able to handle it when he regained his memory as a child; He had almost lost his sanity. Any other woman couldn't help him. Even as a child he knew he would have to find Greed to keep himself calm. Looking at the Northern King next to him, he knew Wrath felt the same about his lover.

The two arrived at some country with extravagant buildings. They wandered around looking at people, who might even remind them of someone.

Nothing.

A small girl ran up to the two men. "You guys look like another man I saw! Are you cosplayers?"

"Cosplayers?" Wrath looked at her, his sharp blue eyes staring at her.

"Oh you aren't?" The girl turned red. "Sorry then." She turned and ran away.

After sharing a look, they continued on.

Francis Bonnefoy, Pride, watched the two men walk away, or more specifically, the one that was Wrath.

He remembered Envy's prophesy. The part about Lust's death came back to him when he saw Wrath. Then he sensed some other woman on that man.

Lust, almost like his little sister, was fragile. Learning that her lover had betrayed her would most likely destroy her. He wouldn't have done this, but Wrath needed to pay for what he had done.

The rapier was in his hand in a split second, and the Frenchman started walking after the other kings.

The alley had been dark and cold. While Wrath was thinking, Sloth walked ahead before stopping.

"We're being followed." Sloth said. He unsheathed his sword and looked around.

"Alright," Wrath also pulled out his sword and positioned himself for battle. His eyes widened. "Wait. That's-"

He was cut off when a blade almost sliced off his head. He turned to see a familiar face.

"Pride-"

"Traitor." Pride spat at him. "How dare you betray Lust. She loved you!"

"I didn't betray her!" Wrath shouted. "I didn't wake up until yesterday!"

"And what about killing her?" Pride kept attacking. "You stabbed her! You could have stopped yourself, but you didn't! You killed her!"

"Shut Up!" Wrath shouted. The ground split and the wind started to pick up as he charged. "I didn't- I didn't want to kill her!"

"So you did kill Lust." Pride smiled as he dodged the weak attacks. "Killed her then went to another woman."

"Pride!" Sloth finally spoke up. "Stop accusing him of killing her. We all know he did, but remember what Envy had said after? Wrath killed himself after because of that."

"So you're going to side with him now?" Pride glared at the albino.

"Well, look at him!" Sloth pointed to Wrath.

Pride stared at him, trying to understand what Sloth was showing him. Some of his anger seemed to fade away, and now he could see.

Wrath was destroyed. The once proud King, who would defeat armies and if wounded, would return the next day with no sign of injuries , wasn't there at all. All Pride could see was a Wrath who was utterly lost without Lust, the one woman who kept him grounded. The one who kept him sane. Looking at Sloth, he could see the same weariness, only it was better hidden.

"Well," Pride sighed as he put his rapier away. "I can forgive you for now. But, I expect another match when we find Lust. I want to what she thinks of you now."

Wrath stood up and, giving Pride a extremely cold glare, sheathed his sword. "You know this place better than we do. Where can we stay?"

Pride was about to respond when someone interrupted him.

"I believe we can help Ludwig, Gilbert, and Francis. Or rather, Wrath, Sloth, and Pride. I am right, da?"

The three men turned to see two people at the end of alley. One, a large man was smiling, while the other, who looked like a young woman, stared at them all with a strange look.

"And who are you?" Sloth asked, wary of people who knew their names and real identities.

"My name is Yao Wang." The smaller man said. "I was also the former Celestial Fox."
