Meiyu Canster, A Sky Wing Knight Who Does Not Belong To The Sky Wing Knights

After President Meiyu’s victory on the dueling platform, a holy light from the sky shone upon her!

Then, to everyone’s astonishment, pale blue wings appeared behind her!

All the Sky Wing Knights knew this legend!

It stems from the origin of the Sky Wing Knights!

In fact, this is the source of the Sky Wing Knights’ bloodline—the archangel under the Goddess of Light acknowledged her!

It acknowledged Meiyu Canster as a truly powerful Sky Wing Knight!

But ironically, Meiyu Canster is not a member of the Sky Wing Knights—she is a lone knight who severed her bloodline!

To be honest, when Nia Skywing saw this scene she almost couldn’t help but curse!

Because this almost declared Meiyu Canster the strongest and foremost of the Sky Wing Knights!

Even though she didn’t use any Sky Wing power, her calm, exquisite technique defeated the previous Student Council president move by move!

But if she were willing to return, the entire Skywing Knight Family would be ready to accept her as their clan leader!

Except for Nia, who was then the closest to the positions of clan head and commander.

But one thing that made Nia Skywing very glad was this.

President Meiyu Canster had absolutely no intention of returning to the Skywing Knight Family.

Even though from the start to now the Skywing Knight Family had persistently tried to lure and persuade her to come back.

This even included Nia herself having talked to Meiyu.

“The story’s over, that’s how it happened. Do any of you have questions?”

It was a simple heroic epic: an unknown nobody slowly rising step by step into the path of legend.

A harsh childhood gave her painful early years, but she didn’t break—those bad times hardened her disposition considerably.

The Auriel knight who saved her life showed her the meaning of existence and the path of living, leading her to become a knight.

She wanted to become the Knight King; her wish was very simple.

She wanted to prove herself! She had her own dignity and honor!

Many people assumed President Meiyu’s strength came from the Skywing bloodline.

But the truth, as Young Master Naiye could attest, is that Meiyu has neither used nor can she use Sky Wing power.

“I had no idea about what happened before Meiyu became Student Council President—did President Meiyu tell you this?”

Xiya asked with great curiosity, her expression showing considerable admiration.

“Yes, she said this was the first time she’d told anyone that memory—she’s settled her past.”

“…………”

Nia’s expression grew heavy; she wanted to ask something but couldn’t bring herself to.

“……”

Young Master Naiye knew what she was thinking—she was genuinely wary of whether Meiyu Canster might return to the Skywing Knight Family.

Because if President Meiyu returned, she would pose the greatest threat to Nia.

“So you two, what is your family’s stance? I want to be clear.”

Young Master Naiye asked in a teasing, relaxed tone to the two graceful, noble, and alluring Sky Wing Knights.

Naiye actually knew how the two felt—surely they had different inclinations.

Within the Skywing Knight Family one could guess the debate: they wanted to invite her back but couldn’t bear to beg on behalf of the family’s dignity.

Especially since it was her grandmother Laiaer who personally severed the bloodline.

He simply wanted to understand the inner attitude of the Skywing Knight Family toward Meiyu.

“I’ve always been aware of the rift with President Meiyu, and I’ve tried to bridge it.”

This was said by the blonde, golden-winged Nia—she sounded sincere, at least she’d tried.

But this was the situation after their first conversation.

At first, Xiya thought Nia genuinely tried to get President Meiyu to return, but as she listened and watched Nia, it seemed not like that at all.

“But that was at the beginning—I’ve never really hoped Meiyu Canster would return to the Sky Wing Knights. I was just putting on appearances.”

“You go see President Meiyu every so often, but you never actually allowed her back?”

Xiya asked in surprise—she had already suspected this.

It wasn’t just Nia; Xiya herself had reached out to President Meiyu, but the whole exchange was ordinary—Meiyu showed no desire to return and said she wouldn’t meet again.

Except for Nia—she would contact President Meiyu at intervals.

What was stranger was that President Meiyu only agreed to meet with Nia, yet still showed no intention of returning.

Many assumed Nia Skywing’s insistence meant she truly wanted President Meiyu to return to the Skywing Knight Family.

After all, Meiyu was currently the strongest knight—no matter what, they’d want to bring her in.

Even if they used the shameless claim that blood is thicker than water to pressure her to return.

“Heh~ Xiya, then I’ll ask you.”

Nia made an exaggerated dismissive gesture.

“I’ll ask you seriously: why should Meiyu Canster return? We owe her nothing!”

“…………”

Xiya was left speechless.

She was no fool; any sane person knew the Skywing Knight Family sought President Meiyu only for her superior combat ability.

It had nothing to do with her grandmother or mother—besides, it was her grandmother who had severed the bloodline.

She personally owed the Sky Wing Knights nothing.

All that talk of blood being thicker than water and that these people are your winged family is complete nonsense!

In the Auriel Kingdom, strength always comes first!

And Meiyu Canster—alone—stands above others in battle!

There was indeed ongoing debate within the Skywing Knight Family.

Half wanted her to return—such power and shared bloodline would be a great boon if brought into the fold.

The other half was completely opposed, fearing Meiyu’s combat strength and support would be too great to control.

“Xiya, I’ve said my piece—Young Master Naiye is waiting for you.”

Nia said it in a deliberately teasing tone.

Instantly, scarlet and aquamarine eyes turned toward her.

“Uh… about my stance…”

Xiya hesitated—after hearing Meiyu Canster’s life story, her thinking had changed.

Her original view had indeed shifted somewhat.

“Alright, actually I originally hoped she’d return—after all, for the Skywing Knight Family she’s an immensely powerful knight; her return would be a huge help.

“But now… we truly owe her nothing. Our family has no right to demand she return—after all, her surname is Canster, not Skywing.”

After answering, Xiya Blackwing shook the black wings behind her and sighed helplessly.

In truth, earlier the Black Wing Knights, including her, had hoped President Meiyu would return to the family.

The motive was simple: support her as clan head to overthrow Nia and thus control the family.

Many subconsciously thought Meiyu was isolated alone—if she returned with a family faction supporting and loving her, she’d surely repay that loyalty.

Now that they thought about it—how arrogant they had been…

Such a simple thought couldn’t be hidden at all.

The funniest part was that many members of the Sky Wing Knights hoped for Meiyu’s return for exactly that reason.

She’s the Student Council President! The strongest knight!

There was no need for hypocrites to call themselves family.

Young Master Naiye’s body was slight; not wearing clothes, he felt somewhat cold.

Shivering, he squeezed into Xiya’s bedcovers.

Nia, not to be outdone, squeezed in as well—warm and proud—her well-trained body against Naiye made him much more comfortable.

The Sky Wing Knights’ wings, like shadows, disappeared once their bodies were fully covered by the blanket.

As the three of them squeezed under one blanket, about to start some new activity, Young Master Naiye suddenly said this:

“Nia, you and Meiyu keep meeting, making everyone think you’re working to mend the rift between her and the Sky Wing Knights, but in actuality—you two made some kind of deal, right?”

“…………”

“…!!”

Under the warm, dark blanket, the beautiful aquamarine and ruby eyes of the two girls widened simultaneously!

Nia had just squeezed in but her head popped back out again in struggle.

She glared at Naiye and Xiya with displeasure.

Young Master Naiye could just ask President Meiyu directly—she couldn’t be fooled.

But Nia wanted to hide it from Xiya to prevent her from opposing the plan.

In the end, Nia had never trusted Xiya, and Xiya had never trusted Nia.

This political couple was absolutely the worst pair.

Under Xiya’s meaningful gaze, Nia sighed.

“Alright, I’ll tell you—you’re on my side anyway, but you must swear to the Goddess of Light! Don’t tell anyone else; it’s only between us!”

Xiya hesitated—she always felt Nia was hiding something.

Young Master Naiye tugged at Xiya’s black garter stocking and nodded at her.

Though coerced a bit, Xiya still spread her black wings and raised her hands to the sky.

She made the Sky Wing prayer gesture and swore to the Goddess of Light.

“I swear to the Goddess of Light that I will not reveal what I am about to hear to anyone, or the Goddess will inflict the harshest punishment upon me!”

After the simple oath, Nia finally began to speak.

“The agreement between her and me is simple: I’ll help her deal with Fire Lina, and in many Academy matters she’ll favor the Sky Wing Knights.”

Xiya Blackwing blinked, finding nothing further.

“That’s it? Isn’t that essentially helping Meiyu become the Knight King?”

“Yes—she’s too strong. In two years she’ll firmly hold the Student Council President’s seat, so I’ll activate my backup plan and take another seat.”

“Even so, Fire Lina’s wars and duels still make things hard for both of you—this agreement is so fragile, yet it was reached.”

“Yeah…”

Nia answered dejectedly, burying her head into the soft white pillow.

Her cute raised hips swayed, but her body betrayed displeasure everywhere.

This was said by Young Master Naiye, yet it shocked Xiya?!

The Fire Elemental Knight Fire Lina was indeed praised as the knight with the most Auriel knightly will, yet she simultaneously left everyone powerless in both war and duels?!

Especially President Meiyu—she wins every duel without fail!

In war, Fire Lina has already proven herself unstoppable; otherwise Xiya wouldn’t have agreed to cooperate with Nia to fight her!

“Meiyu is indeed the strongest in combat, but no one is invincible. Nia can stand toe-to-toe with Fire Lina—so why has she never once challenged the Student Council President?

“What truly inspires awe in Fire Lina is her blazing will—approaching a hundred duels, she keeps rising again and again despite defeats!”

Naiye clarified Fire Lina’s terrifying combat ability and indomitable spirit.

Although Meiyu stands alone at the top, Fire Lina closely follows her—and beside and even behind Fire Lina are Nia Skywing, Rena Silvermoon, and possibly soon Eren Dragonborn trailing right behind!

This is the eternal struggle of the Auriel knights! It’s also why the Student Council President’s seat is technically only a five-year post.

But the reason there have only been three Knight Kings in three thousand years.

Is that holding the Student Council President’s seat for over a year already counts as a long tenure!

Xiya was a bit dazed—she realized she’d underestimated the eternal struggle.

Even though she was a Black Wing Knight, her will seemed noticeably weaker…

—Is this the gap between Nia and me?

Xiya looked a little down as she gazed at Nia sprawled on the bed, showing off her plump behind.

When she looked at Young Master Naiye, he mercilessly—nodded.

—You’re not as good as her.

“…………”

Xiya’s eye twitched, even though she knew it in her heart.

But having it pointed out like that was really… painful!

Xiya also buried her face in the pillow and, like Nia, revealed a perky, upright rear.

Naiye lifted the blanket.

Then he wouldn’t let such a good opportunity slip by.

He lifted the blanket and hugged the two beauties from behind!

The large, warm blanket covered the three of them.

The next day.

Thanks to Naiye’s efforts, Nia and Xiya finally reconciled—albeit temporarily.

The three went to the dining hall for breakfast again; this time the atmosphere wasn’t so terrifying.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Young Master Naiye finally enjoyed a breakfast leisurely.

Croissants, vegetable salad, fried eggs and ham, and mushroom soup.

This time the three simply enjoyed breakfast normally; it felt very pleasant.

After breakfast, Nia and Xiya left—they had their own duties to attend to.

The task of seeing Young Master Naiye off was entrusted to Qingliya Whitewing.

At the gate, Qingliya carried her black handbag filled with who-knows-how-many bombs; behind her were the chubby guard knight Spring and the bespectacled maid Ming.

They accompanied Naiye to the carriage at the roadside.

Before departure, Naiye Lycoris bid her a solemn, polite farewell.

But Qingliya stopped the formal farewell.

“No need for such formality, Young Master Naiye. I must thank you for giving us such excellent magical technology—it’s a tremendous help to many disabled people, and I will strongly support it.”

“Thank you very much, Qingliya.”

The white-haired, red-eyed bomb-loving young mistress waved her hand once more.

“We’ll see each other again soon. I’ll visit you shortly, or we can go eat street food together.”

“Alright, I’ll be looking forward to it.”

Naiye answered from the heart; his interactions with Qingliya had indeed been joyful and sincere.

Finally, Young Master Naiye turned and sat in the Sky Wing carriage that had brought him here.
