April replied to the patriarch.“It was suspected that the entirety of that base was submerged deep in the ocean. And it wasn't just Alexa Dove having that suspicion. It was also Madam Hannah Whiteridge. While I was in her body, there were thoughts about picking up the sounds of whales, and a somewhat moving body of water. She had also caught sight of the ocean depth while there, but not even she was paying too much attention to her own guts.”Hearing those words, Benjamin immediately closed his eyes, trying to recall if either of his three hosts - Andrew Tyrone, Chad Hornet, and Veronica, had this suspicion as well. With his incredibly high retentive memory, Benjamin got his confirmation after thoroughly recalling his time in those three hosts. Veronica and Andrew had suspected this as well. They were both convinced that the entire huge vase they were in was submerged deep in the ocean.But none had a stronger conviction of this suspicion than Veronica herself. And considering how e

Prime Butler Herbert stood up to call out a list that was being displayed to everyone on a huge holographic screen in the air.“To the names I will start calling, you're expected to take a stand in the aisle of defense!”“From the major settings of the Thirteen Seats of Wisdom, I call forth the following elders to take a stand on the aisle! Elder Joseph, Elder Penelope, Elder Biscroft, Elder Junior, Elder Cheyenne, and Elder Herlene!” Six members of the 13 Seats of Wisdom had been called forward, and they had no choice but to answer the call.All six old men and the women glanced at each other as they rose to their feet and walked towards the aisle as Herbert had commanded. Before they even knew what they were being called out for, there was already shame and humiliation washing over them.These are the parties who supported Veronica Whiteridge, after all. Now, they could only grind their jaws in absolute regret, after hearing that not only did Veronica deflect from the family, but

The crowd in the grand hall kept whispering louder as Elder Herlene was clearly showing hostility towards the significant partner of the heir apparent.Elder Herlene wasn't hesitant to remind April of her place. Despite her position as Madam, she was still considered very new to this family. In comparison, Elder Herlene has been in a significantly high position of power within the prime estate, and thus, believed that she still held more authority than a newly installed Madam who hasn't gathered enough trust from the people of the prime estate.“Madam April, don't forget your place. Honestly, following the customs of this estate, a fledgling integration to this family, such as yourself, shouldn't be sitting in that panel. As an elder of this family, I speak with pure concern for the laws of this family, hoping it would continue to be upheld unfairly.”The old woman scoffed, getting braver by the seconds, while forgetting that she was currently standing as a defendant of a crime yet t

Some of the relatives who didn't have gorgeous women to use as a bargaining chip to curry favor in the future, were even hoping that Benjamin was, at least, sexually fluid, as they had attractive young men, both pretty and handsome.Most of these plotting minds were fully locked in on Benjamin's expected high libido to have him hook up with multiple partners, even if he had declared an outsider like April to be his woman.This brings a recall back to the time April had started out her days as the Madam of the heir apparent's quarter, where the leading subordinates of the maids, housekeepers, butlers, and even chefs came together to disrespect April. Back then, they were confident that once Master Benjamin found himself surrounded by gorgeous women, he would gradually forget April, turning her into one of his intimate partners who could be easily discarded.Yet, the presence was only solidifying something unexpected. The young, hot-blooded Benjamin actually possesses an extremely loy

Back to the present,April could tell that there had been a falling out between Elder Biscroft and the rest of his faction, but she couldn't give a damn. There was still an ongoing trial.“Elder Herlene, you and the others are standing on business that you're not in cahoots with the enemy? You thought this case would be about Young Madam Veronica. Well, in that case, I guess I have no choice but to present the evidence.”With a snap of her finger, the holographic screen switched to show CCTV footage of something creeping along the fences from the main gates, and through the man-made forest that leads to the main mansion.Everyone gasped and murmured among one another, wondering what this living shadow was.And then, they saw this shadow morph into a curvy woman in the dress of the maids in the main mansion, grabbing a cleaning cart and easily blending into the moving subordinates going about their daily chores within the humongous building.“Holy shit! Did that shadow just morph into
