The Trial Of The Skywing Family!

As noon approached, the entire Sky Wing Knights suddenly convened an extremely important trial assembly!

Everyone qualified had to attend, no exceptions!

The order was absolute! The Sky Wing Knights themselves even led everyone here!

They had just finished a joyful, elegant banquet last night, how could things be so solemn today?

Many nobles were puzzled, but since it was a compulsory order, they all came to the trial.

Those of high status sat in the elevated seats above, able to overlook the entire assembly.

For example, Young Master Naiye, his face still icy, sat in the first seat closest to the Sky Wing throne.

After a busy and solemn procession.

Two rows of Sky Wing Knights, their resplendent wings and full armor gleaming, stood guard on either side of the assembly.

All the nobles were stunned! Yet no one dared utter a sound.

Everyone sensed the severity of this trial and clamped their mouths shut as best they could.

Finally, Nia Skywing appeared.

She wore dazzling, solemn garments, and the golden wings behind her fully unfurled!

Her delicate, beautiful face was now unbearably majestic and cold, like a lion king surveying its subjects and domain.

She said nothing; she came to the highest throne and sat down.

She was not the judge.

On the other side, Xiya Blackwing slowly stepped forward.

The black wings spread behind her were even more striking; she came to the very center of the tribunal beneath the throne.

There was no one else, only the two of them.

Those with insight already knew what was happening.

They appeared to be conducting a trial, but in fact they were issuing a proclamation!

The two most important figures of the Skywing Knight Family had united to make an announcement; the people below were no more than chattering ants!

And the ants wouldn’t even be allowed to chirp!

Bang!

Xiya struck her hammer heavily to quiet the assembly, then shouted loudly!

“Bring the prisoners forward!”

Three people were escorted up by the Sky Wing Knights; they couldn’t even stand and were forced to kneel at the very center of the assembly.

All eyes watched them, and the three prisoners all had black wings behind them!

At this moment they looked up at Xiya and the Golden Knight in utter panic and boundless fear.

They were drenched in sweat and couldn’t form a word, their mouths wouldn’t cooperate!

From the moment they were brought in, it was clear what this trial was about.

“We now announce the crimes: embezzling funds and supplies during wartime! Secretly trafficking information, deliberately plotting so that some knights suffer crushing defeats in battles that should have been victories, conspiring within the family to sabotage the Skywing Family!”

At those words, the assembly gasped!

But everyone, knowing better, said nothing further and watched the forthcoming judgment.

“These are the deeds you three have committed! Regarding the conspiracy, there is an echo crystal as evidence!”

Xiya tossed out a mana crystal, which immediately played back a recording.

【The three inside plotted words of sabotage—the conspiracy was driven by one person, while the other two hesitated and did not dare to be certain.】

Many people glanced at the bored Young Master Naiye sitting above, listening to the trial.

They thought to themselves: so this was the real reason Young Master Naiye was invited?!

“Do you have anything else to say!”

With anger, Xiya struck her hammer again and loudly questioned the three below.

Secretly skimming profits could be tolerated, but harming one’s fellow knights was another matter.

And sabotaging the family! That amounted to treason, even if it was only a conspiracy without concrete acts.

No fool would tolerate that!

“……..”

What words? They couldn’t speak a thing! And by now nothing they could say would matter.

From the start this trial had already determined the outcome—no amount of quibbling would help them!

Bang! Bang!

Xiya struck her hammer once more and then bluntly read out the verdict!

Every gaze in the hall was fixed on the three prisoners at the center!

The atmosphere was unbearably heavy and oppressive, as if one could not catch a breath!

The three below, faces beaded with cold sweat that soaked the floor, could do nothing more.

From the outset it had been clear: this trial was merely a proclamation!

Bang!

“Do you admit your guilt!”

Xiya’s final question effectively sentenced the three members of the Blackwing family.

“…!!!”

What more could the three prisoners say?

They could only collapse in terror, bowing their heads at the feet of the Sky Wing Knights’ commander and the Blackwing judge, begging for mercy!

At this point, the Golden Knight Nia Skywing, the commander, rose.

The prosecution was over; next, as leader, she would issue the sentence.

“Fine! Seeing your sincere admissions, the latter two were only accomplices and did not take part in the final sabotage!

“The two of you will only be punished for the crimes read at the beginning!”

At those words, the two accomplices immediately broke into joy!

Those who understood knew this was merely for show.

Both the punishment and the leniency served a single purpose.

That purpose was to temporarily stabilize the family factions and to make an example of the offenders!

The two accomplices could be lightly punished, but the ringleader……

“As for the ringleader—already harboring treasonous intent! Imprison them and execute by beheading immediately!”

Commander Nia Skywing’s calm, majestic voice resonated in everyone’s hearts.

“Seeing your sincere repentance, only you will be punished for this grave crime, and your family will not be implicated!”

“…!!”

This person, with black wings, was naturally of the Blackwing family.

Not implicating the family seemed like leniency.

In truth, it was because they could not move against the family—after all, Xiya Blackwing and many others of the Blackwing family were present.

Moreover, the condemned was of a collateral branch; it was unlikely they would sever themselves.

At least, it appeared that way…

“……..”

The assembled Blackwing family looked up anxiously at the Golden Knight above and—at their own leader, Xiya Blackwing.

With the two leaders united, what could those under them possibly do?

Everyone in the assembly praised the verdict; only a few remained worried, their mood unexpectedly heavy.

Finally, Nia nodded regally to the judge Xiya.

Xiya returned the salute meekly, then picked up her hammer again.

“The trial is concluded! Carry out the sentences for the three!”

Bang!

The three were taken away, and the ringleader was specially escorted by the Sky Wing Knights to the dungeon.

Most of the young noblewomen present did not show surprised shock at the sight.

Instead, one by one they reviewed the trial with relish.

For those unaware of the inside story.

Having sinners tried within a family was quite satisfying.

Those who understood the background left with the majority, tense and cautious.

The trial carried out by Nia and Xiya could be said to have been very successful.

And there was no delay whatsoever, they executed it directly!

This is a family internal trial!
