It's Over... An Intense Situation Of Black And Gold

Spring tried to calm herself as much as possible, but inside she was very nervous, leaning against the corner of the wall.

Quietly peeking once!

She only looked once!

Spring immediately stepped back!

Then she fled the place at top speed!

She didn’t even care whether she had found Young Master Naiye to tell him Miss Qingliya’s invitation!

Spring ran back in one breath to Miss Qingliya Whitewing and her personal maid Ming.

Then she gasped nervously, breathing heavily!

“Ha! Ha! Oh my god…”

“Spring, what’s wrong? Why are you so nervous?”

Maid Ming looked at Spring’s ‘escaped from death’, overly terrified appearance and furrowed her pretty brows.

She picked up a glass of water and gave it to her slowly.

It was obvious Spring had failed.

Seated gracefully at the table, Qingliya Whitewing calmly and elegantly ate her little pastry.

She was wholeheartedly focused on her food.

Only then did Spring come to Miss Qingliya’s side and answer with a very dejected face.

“Sorry, Milady, I failed.”

Spring had expected Miss Qingliya to scold or punish her, perhaps by forbidding her from eating dinner that night.

But Qingliya just waved her hand gently.

And she waved several more times, as if enjoying the sensation of freely moving her arm.

“It’s fine; if you didn’t find Young Master Naiye, it’s okay—it’s just one dinner.”

“Um… I did find him, but…”

Spring’s tall, fleshy body began to tremble; she was too afraid to speak.

She only answered after Qingliya turned her head.

“Young Master Naiye… was with Miss Nia and Miss Xiya…”

Qingliya’s hand froze!

She dropped her arm behind her and continued quietly tasting her pastry; after finishing the little cake in her hand,

she finally heaved a helpless sigh.

“Forget it, don’t go interact with them—we’ll have dinner ourselves. Ming, you go instead.”

“Yes!”

Maid Ming bowed gracefully, sighed in disappointment, and left to start preparing dinner.

The three of them had been looking forward to having dinner with Young Master Naiye.

All three agreed strongly with Young Master Naiye’s philosophy toward food.

They all agreed that Young Master Naiye was a companion with whom one could enjoy fine food.

But upon hearing the command, the guard knight Spring showed a very puzzled look and sat back at the table.

After picking up the tea and pastry, this time she didn’t happily shove it into her mouth.

Instead, after cautiously glancing at Miss Qingliya a few times, she finally dared to ask.

“Milady, didn’t the previous tribunal already resolve the dispute between the Skywing and the Blackwing?”

“Why do I feel like their conflict has actually… become worse?”

Qingliya picked up an exquisite sandwich.

It had ham, vegetables, bacon, cheese, tomato, and so on.

“The Skywing Knight Family is vast and substantial, with many factions; everyone together is like this sandwich—it has everything, but it’s all squeezed together to share the cake.”

However, Qingliya’s next move shocked Spring!

The young lady suddenly opened the two slices of bread and dumped all the vegetables, ham, and so on out!

She poured them onto a plate, holding only the two pale slices of bread in her hand.

The two slices were empty, and they were separated—even drifting further apart.

“These two slices are Nia and Xiya, two who should be working together like partners, but instead have grown more hostile. The previous tribunal only pinpointed one family conflict and momentarily relieved some pressure.”

Qingliya not only understood the feud between Nia and Xiya, she knew the family’s situation intimately.

“Why? I remember the Sky Wing and Black Wing only had different philosophies, right?”

“Different ways mean no common ground! Often that’s enough for people to choose entirely opposite paths.”

Qingliya Whitewing used a very simple sandwich as a demonstration.

It had ham, vegetables, bacon, cheese, tomato, and so on.

Plop! Plop!

But such a simple example sent chills through Spring!

She again asked cautiously.

“Miss, for our Whitewing…”

“We will stay like this, whether it’s the family or ourselves! This is their problem… don’t meddle.”

Qingliya answered with rare seriousness; she clearly understood the nature of this top-level power struggle.

She would rather be a gluttonous young lady than get involved.

Besides, her pursuit of food was not yet complete, she wouldn’t waste time getting involved.

Qingliya had to admit that since Xiya awakened and sought to seize power and walk her own path, she had completely opposed Nia.

Nia was also very ambitious; her ultimate goal, after all, was the position of Knight King.

She wouldn’t hand over the family’s power to anyone.

The most unfortunate part was that Xiya Blackwing was partly coerced by her own Blackwing family and had to confront Nia head-on for power.

That’s why Qingliya believed Xiya was unsuitable.

Part of her consciousness even existed simply to oppose Nia, who had once been her consort.

Even Nia had to admit the pride within her heart.

“……”

Qingliya, rarely, concentrated her mind on thinking rather than food.

It made her a little uncomfortable…

—On closer reflection, her mother’s teachings.

【Whitewing, sit properly in your place; focus on what you desire】

“Here, eat this—don’t think about anything else.”

Miss Qingliya reassembled the vegetables, ham, bacon, and so on from the plate back into the bread slices.

She handed it to Spring; the female guard knight looked at the sandwich with a slightly sour expression, not at all her usual eager look for food.

Even after putting it back, the vegetables and ham inside were in disarray, a chaotic mess…

Spring closed her eyes and swallowed the sandwich in a few bites.

She forced herself to forget the matter.

In the auction hall corridor, before anyone noticed, it seemed there was no one left here.

Almost everyone had left, as if they were fleeing.

As if this ordinary auction hall, just sold for five million, had been cursed…

And Naiye Lycoris stood right at the center of the atmosphere causing this dread.

“……”

“……”

“……”

Naiye was, at this moment, in the midst of a tense situation!

On his left stood a Golden Knight with gorgeous golden beauty and a strikingly mature appearance; she was also the captain of the Sky Wing Knight Order and the head of the Skywing Knight Family.

To his right was a woman with a waterfall of jet-black long straight hair, whose noble, elegant, and mature appearance matched that of the Golden Knight opposite her!

She was also the second-in-command of the Sky Wing Knights Order, the leader of Blackwing, Skywing’s collateral bloodline.

The two of them each bore a pair of beautiful golden wings and a pair of striking black wings, respectively.

It seemed almost destined, subtly, that the two were enemies.

At this moment she shot a gaze full of anger and hatred past Young Master Naiye and stared straight at Nia Skywing.

She did not hide her hostility at all.

And Nia, though her face was calm and she wore an elegant smile, returned Xiya Blackwing’s gaze with cold and fierce golden eyes!

She was equally uncompromising.

At this moment, the terrifying, oppressive aura generated by the two swept across the entire auction hall.

The whole auction hall seemed to be left with only the three of them…

And Naiye’s very calm expression revealed that he was thinking of something.

【It’s over…】
