Queen Auriel And The Will Of The Four Great Knight Families!

To put it plainly, Fire Lina actually very much hopes Naiye will support her, or……..
that nothing unexpected happens because of Naiye.
This time the alliance between Lycoris and the Dragon Knights surprised everyone!
No one expected Naiye Lycoris to ally with the Dragon Knights so quickly!
Even less did anyone know what had happened behind the scenes.
Now more people are watching Naiye Lycoris and Eren Dragonborn, the two young masters in the female knight kingdom.
Fire Lina and Ice Tina even thought Naiye had been unusually quiet these past few days.
Is he hiding from the spotlight?
But that was overthinking, because Young Master Naiye didn’t need to hide from anything; he was just constantly shaping ideas in his mind.
On the other side, Eren Dragonborn of the Dragon Knights.
His life was completely different from Young Master Naiye’s quiet, leisurely existence.
After formally allying with Naiye, Eren also officially became the commander of the Dragon Knights.
These days he was overwhelmed handling the Dragon Knights’ internal affairs all day long!
For the first time he felt that this work was truly exhausting!
Facing the older sister Fire Lina’s questioning, Naiye’s answer remained as calm as it had with Ice Tina earlier.
“Yes, Lycoris has allied with the Dragon Knights.”
As if this matter were something perfectly ordinary.
“…….”
Fire Lina’s eyes, rimmed with striking eyeshadow, stared at Naiye.
“Why? Did Eren give you something?”
“No, not Eren—it’s Eiru, the matriarch of the Dragon Knights. The Dragon Mother Knight knew my grandfather and father long ago.
“I’m merely, as the current head of the family, continuing this and deepening it into a political alliance.”
Young Master Naiye still answered Fire Lina’s questions very calmly.
He even explained the cause and effect clearly; the specific details were of no concern to others.
Fire Lina’s burning eyes continued to fix on Naiye, hoping to see something different.
“Just… a political alliance? You have no desire for the Academy?”
“Just… an alliance.”
Elder sister Fire Lina began to press aggressively, but Young Master Naiye answered her with extraordinary calm.
He showed no cracks in his response.
“……..”
“……..”
Fire Lina was very suspicious!
Fire Lina was extremely sharp and practical; two families forming an alliance wouldn’t just do nothing.
In fact, not only Fire Lina but the majority believed the same.
But Fire Lina remained constantly vigilant; she knew clearly that the Academy situation was favorable to the Elemental Knights.
Provided there were no other interfering factors.
Fire Lina suddenly smiled, a very amicable smile.
“Naiye, I’ll give you some of my family’s top-tier Elemental Stones; tell me what I should do, okay?”
Don’t assume Sister Fire Lina is reckless just because she’s fiery.
In reality she’s very pragmatic, and not some fool who clings to face at the cost of suffering.
She knew what was useful, and deals can be especially useful at times.
“No thanks, I don’t need it.”
Of course, Young Master Naiye refused immediately, but she wasn’t discouraged.
With Ice Tina looking helpless, elder sister Fire Lina opened her enticing chest and warm embrace.
She hugged Naiye and whispered warmly and seductively in his ear.
“If you say that, Big Sister will be angry. I only came to see you because I worry about your health.
“Don’t be ungrateful!”
Big Sister Fire Lina had been so gentle a moment ago, then suddenly turned fierce.
True to Fire Lina, she used both kindness and coercion; she’ll use whatever she can.
Ordinary people might be startled by her sudden behavior.
But Young Master Naiye, long accustomed, remained completely unmoved.
However, he did have needs and things he wanted to know.
Naiye looked up at the head of the nearby Magical Automaton knight.
If it were modified into a dragon form, what would be best?
“I can tell you something I’m about to do that you’ll be very interested in! But I want one of your Fire-Element Energy Stones, the highest grade.”
“What is it?”
“The Sky Wing Knights’.”
Fire ignited in Fire Lina’s eyes! She smiled lasciviously and in satisfaction.
Her expression was as if she was going to devour Naiye on the spot!
He nodded—deal!
“But before that, there’s something I want to ask you two.”
“What is it? You’re actually asking us?”
Ice Tina stepped forward; it was indeed rare for Young Master Naiye to come ask them.
“Since the dueling stand, my Dark Knight Weiluxika has been contacted repeatedly by Silver Moon Knight Rena Silvermoon—what’s going on?”
Initially Naiye and Weiluxika didn’t make much of it, but afterwards Rena kept approaching Weiluxika, very enthusiastically.
Those unaware might’ve thought she had taken a liking to Weiluxika and wanted to snatch her from Young Master Naiye’s side?!
Fire Lina and Ice Tina exchanged a glance, roughly guessing what was going on.
“So you didn’t know, Naiye? I thought you didn’t care at all about Rena’s actions.”
After the elder sister spoke, Ice Tina stepped up to continue answering.
“Naiye, you know Silver Moon Knight Rena Silvermoon, Crimson Moon Knight Eo Crimsonmoon, so do you know the Dark Moon Knight?”
“I don’t know her. Do you?”
Not only did he not know her, he was completely unaware.
The two sisters shook their heads; elder sister Fire Lina crossed her arms and answered.
“No—right now no one knows her, because there is currently no Dark Moon Knight!”
“No? Why is that?”
“Naiye, do you understand the composition of the Three Moons Knights? They only follow the directives of faith—they are the knight order of the Three Moons Goddess.
“Their recent approach to war has been minor skirmishes because the Three Moons Goddess’s directive isn’t focused on the Academy war!
“Rather, they lack strength because the Three Moons is missing one Moon—namely the Dark Moon Goddess and the Dark Moon Knight!”
So… Young Master Naiye already had a rough idea.
“The Dark Knight Weiluxika very much fits the standards of a Dark Moon Knight; if she is willing, she could become the Dark Moon Knight, lead the Dark Moon order, and be the chosen of the Dark Moon Goddess!
“Then the Three Moons Knights will be complete! That’s also why Rena has been trying so hard to woo Weiluxika.”
Elder sister Fire Lina continued speaking at that point.
“Naiye, I want to warn you! I can sense a desire for power deep in the Dark Knight’s heart—becoming a Dark Moon Knight might not be a bad choice for her!”
Naiye nodded, thinking carefully.
It’s normal for the Dark Knight Weiluxika to pursue power; otherwise Young Master Naiye wouldn’t have trained her into a knight.
The matter of the Dark Moon Knight was indeed unknown—it’s a core secret of the Four Great Knight Families; apart from the four families and Queen Auriel, basically no one else knows.
But Naiye suddenly had another thought, more precisely a question.
“Why did the Three Moons Knights become one of the Four Great Knight Families? Don’t they worship the Three Moons Goddess? I thought everyone worshiped Queen Auriel?”
Facing this question, Ice Tina took it upon herself to answer, since she was part of the Student Council.
“Naiye, your Lycoris has no faith, so you understand even less. Actually Queen Auriel does not require faith; her demand of people is very simple.”
“Battle?”
Naiye guessed, because that is Auriel’s principle.
“No, it is will! The Three Moons Knights and the Sky Wing Knights both worship their respective deities, but these mean nothing to Queen Auriel.
“What matters is that Queen Auriel tests everyone’s will, and those who accomplish their goals—Queen Auriel will realize their wishes!”
This is the eternal will of our Auriel Kingdom!
