There Are Four People In The Lycoris Three Flower Pillars? Right, I Didn't Expect That Either!

The next day, Naiye took Eir and prepared to leave the Dragon Palace.
After last night’s release and Naiye’s affection, Eir had finally recovered a lot.
She was finally going to leave the Dragon Knights.
Obviously, she still had many attachments, but Naiye did not stop her from feeling nostalgic.
Now the Silver Knight Eir had become a strikingly beautiful, aloof beauty in temperament who was pleasant to look at and not off-putting.
But to Young Master Naiye, she didn’t look as good without dragon horns.
Her previously indifferent arrogance hadn’t disappeared, it had simply been restrained a lot in front of Young Master Naiye.
Mainly, it made people feel less uncomfortable to look at her.
She now held a medium-sized suitcase, standing behind Naiye, her soft, full skin pressed close.
After all, in reality, she could only rely on Young Master Naiye.
“Naiye! Do you really want to? To make a magical dragon-shaped knight?”
“Yes, jealous?”
Eren, who came to see them off, still looked at Young Master Naiye with a skeptical gaze.
He knew nothing about magical technology, and he seriously doubted whether this could be made.
As for why he asked, the truth was Eren was also very interested.
But Naiye generously admitted he wasn’t sure he could build it either.
Eren glanced back; there was no one behind him.
He was actually puzzled—shouldn’t Grandmother Eiru be the one to send Naiye off?
Why did she let him be the one to come, and alone at that.
But Young Master Naiye couldn’t care less.
“Alright, if… it really gets made, remember to let me see it.”
“Okay, I will!”
Young Master Naiye turned casually and waved; Eir, with a hint of complaint, shot Eren a final glare.
She still couldn’t let go of Eren having snatched her position of captain……….
Of course, she didn’t know her name had already been recorded on the Dragon Obelisk, if she pursued her family’s name and recognition.
In that sense Eir had succeeded, but the cost was unexpectedly high, and Eren couldn’t say as much.
The reason Grandmother and Young Master Naiye took Eir away from the Dragon Knights was also to save her.
Eir was a female knight deeply persecuted by the class stigma of dragon bloodlines; this mark had been deeply engraved in her heart since childhood.
Like most Dragon Knights, she unconsciously felt inferior in front of Eren.
When the hard-won captain position was taken by Eren, her first reaction was to cry, not to resist.
Because she couldn’t oppose it instinctively, to put it in Young Master Naiye’s terms.
[ Eir is surprisingly weak ]
Her strength was quite good; at least at the current stage Eren couldn’t beat her unless he went all out. She was now stronger than Dark Knight Weiluxika; taking her back could give Weiluxika good practice.
Grandmother Eiru clearly wanted to do away with the family’s bad habits as much as possible; raising Eren and letting Eir leave were based on this purpose—this was decided when she met Naiye’s grandfather.
But it was very difficult for her generation to deal with it, so she passed the hope to and cultivated the next generation, namely Eren Dragonborn.
Eren, a male knight, still held his own in the Auriel Kingdom, where female knights were on average superhuman.
When Young Master Naiye saw he was the new captain of the Dragon Knights, he felt it wasn’t so simple.
Just the fact that Eren was currently, even in decades, the only male captain of a knight order made that clear.
People didn’t particularly mind because his strength was indeed formidable, and he had the backing of the Dragon Mother Knight Eiru Dragonborn.
“Grandfather was right! Your Dragon Knights deserve to be criticized, but—Eren.
“You’re not that bad; I hope you can forge your own path. Goodbye!”
Young Master Naiye finished with a line that seemed philosophical and profound but was actually complete nonsense.
But Eren knew this was clearly aimed at him and his family.
So he smiled and waved farewell to Naiye.
Then it was Eir’s turn; she took a deep breath and cast one last glance at the Dragon Palace.
Without looking back she left, blending into the backdrop of Naiye Lycoris.
Finally she parted ways with the Dragon Knights.
This time Naiye didn’t choose to ride Xiao Bu, that huge mount Direhorn, back.
He went back on his own.
On the way, he also received a message from Dark Knight Weiluxika.
[ All is well; training status is good. ]
Looks pretty good, let’s head back.
“Eir Dragonborn? You’re Eir Lycoris now?”
Having received Young Master Naiye’s message, Dark Knight Weiluxika, waiting at the manor in the Academy for Naiye’s return, listened in astonishment to the recent events.
Weiluxika of course knew Eir; when she was a child before becoming a knight, she remembered when Naiye had just selected her there were three people present back then.
One was of course Young Master Naiye, another was a little black-skinned, white-haired girl she remembered vaguely.
But the third she remembered very clearly, because that was the first knight she ever saw: the Silver Dragon Knight Eir Dragonborn.
In fact, Weiluxika, who knew nothing about knights, only had the desire to become one after seeing the heroic, awe-inspiring Eir!
So she was truly surprised!
What Young Master Naiye said next surprised her even more.
“From now on she’ll be your junior; you are to teach her Lycoris’s rules!”
The knight senior she had admired as a child has now become her junior!
Thinking of this, Dark Knight Weiluxika actually felt particularly happy.
“Mm, the fourth member of Lycoris’s Three Flower Pillars is finally assembled, that’s nice.”
“Young Master Naiye, I never thought the Three Flower Pillars you mentioned having four people would actually be true; I really didn’t expect it.”
“Right, I didn’t expect it either. Show her to a room.”
The Dark Knight led the newly arrived Silver Knight inside, and Young Master Naiye came to the naturally beautiful courtyard and immediately flopped into a nearby reclining chair.
His whole body relaxed completely.
In the past few days he had been tormented by Eiru, or forced by her demands.
It left Naiye physically and mentally exhausted; more importantly, Eiru’s body was far stronger than his.
He simply couldn’t hold up.
“Huff huff huff~ but…….”
Naiye reached out, looking at the back of his hand, and the adorable yet mature and gorgeous aura of Eiru surfaced in his mind again.
He was glad to remember Eiru again.
Young Master Naiye fell asleep.
Inside the house, Eir, who had quickly settled her luggage, was receiving instruction from a senior much younger than herself.
“Aside from planned or unexpected matters, Young Master Naiye’s life is fairly regular, and his life, relaxation, and work are well separated—look for him in the proper time slots.”
Life is very regular?
Eir doubted that very much, because life in the Dragon Palace these past days had been like this.
Naiye had been in Grandmother’s room almost day and night.
Either snacking and reading novels, or when Grandmother had free time they’d intertwine together.
Occasionally they’d call her over; once the two even bullied her together.
But Eir had to admit that Grandmother’s mood in those days was very good, and the previously heavy, oppressive pressure had been released.
Almost all Dragon Knights could feel that Grandmother’s intimidation and oppression weren’t as terrifying anymore.
“If, during work, you’re assisting Young Master Naiye and there’s something you don’t understand, you can ask—but at crucial moments, if you don’t understand anything at all, just stay quietly by his side.”
“Um… that, do you understand magical technology?”
“No, I don’t.”
Weiluxika decisively and openly admitted she didn’t understand, because she mostly did odd jobs.
The only person in the entire Lycoris family who could actually get hands-on was Dr. Emira; even Young Master Naiye’s steward, the Dark Elf maid Cassia, only understood the basics.
Eir suddenly felt she would be the same, unless she specifically asked Young Master Naiye.
