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

Benjamin nodded his head.“If the spies we want to send in are to have the slightest chance at success, then the gadgets shouldn't just block out thoughts and emotions, it would need to actively create fake thoughts and give our false emotions that wouldn't stray too far from the realm of possibility. These gadgets would need to possess some sort of sentience in how they operate when giving outputs in terms of fake thoughts and emotional signals.”Prime Butler Herbert McKlin scoffed after he finished listening to Benjamin's explanation.“Goodness, Master Benjamin, that level of technology would take years, if not decades or centuries, to perfect.”Benjamin and everyone else in the room agreed to this. Hence, sending spies was out of the question. They're dealing with a part-psychic, and thus, had to avoid getting into more trouble.”Hunter asked his grandson again.“From your calculations, how long would it take before Norman strikes at us?”Benjamin had been making as clear of a ded

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

With all six elders on the aisle of defense, the five people seated on the judging panel didn't immediately proceed with the case that was expected to be presented. Unexpectedly, they began whispering to one another, seemingly having private discussions.Hence, the whispers in the grand hall became louder as everyone was wondering what other discussions the patriarch, prime butler, General, heir apparent, and the current Madam of the family, could possibly be having at a time like this.Seconds turned into minutes, and yet, the five occupied seats on the judging panel still haven't spoken a word to commence this case. No one was as f betrayed as the six elders standing on the aisle of defense though. They pondered among themselves, giving each other subtle signs of communication. They were wondering the same thing: why hasn't the case started? Seeing that they might have to take matters into their own hands, as this stance they've been called to take was starting to feel like a ses

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

Benjamin sat up straight as he replied to his grandfather with the same casual tone as the old man used to address him.“Fine.”He turned to April with the softest gaze.“Angel, are you okay? Are you good?”April reached out to caress her boyfriend's face as she nodded her head in reply, before switching to their private telepathic link.[You didn't need to do that, Little Demon. I could have handled Elder Herlene myself……But you were so freaking hot just now, standing up for me the way you did. You were insanely fierce. My heart is touched…..][.....and so is my pussy. I would be thanking you properly after dealing with everything in the grand hall.]Hearing the latter words of April's transmitted thoughts, Benjamin felt his dick hardening in response.[That's a promise, Angel. I will definitely be banking on your….. gift of appreciation later in the bedroom.]Everyone returned to dealing with the elders on the aisle of defense.Prime Butler Herbert sighed with a look of disdain as

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

“Madam April, you can't just throw these accusations around lightly! My colleagues and I are prestigious and righteous elders of this family! We were born to serve this family, and we grew up to aid alongside the patriarch!”Elder Joseph followed suit.“Exactly! Madam April, with due respect, you can't just lay down this kind of accusation without proof! We're definitely innocent.”Elder Penelope stepped forward as well.“I second this! Madam April, we've been serving this family and the patriarch for decades before you were even born! This is our reputation being put on the line here! We won't take this lying down!”Elder Junior followed up.“I, Elder Junior, have been, still am, and will always be loyal to this family! That won't change!”Elder Cheyenne followed up.“I second this statement! You can't throw baseless accusations at us! It's clear you have a problem with us, Madam April!”Elder Herlene had a devious smirk as she glared at April. She knew how she was going to frame thi

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

Everyone couldn't believe their eyes, asking around the same question.Since when did Young Madam Veronica and her parents know that creature? How on Earth could that creature have successfully inflated the prime estate without being detected in the slightest? Elder Herlene was a bit nervous, but was putting all her efforts to hide how incredibly nervous she truly was as she kept watching. But then seeing the footage come to an end, she shared a certain look with the other five colleagues, including Elder Biscroft.Simply put, these exchanges of looks read in certainty.[Thank goodness! We were not caught! We can still feign innocence in this matter, and get out of this case. No proof had been found against us.]Elder Penelope cleared her throat after receiving the signal from Elder Herlene to step forward.“Madam April, we have watched the video, but I'm still confused. How does any of this make my colleague and I guilty in any way?! As you can all see, none of our faces were invol
