Getting spoiled in a woman dominating world-Chapter 423: Annihilation of a Noble House [2]

"I need an explanation."

Looking at the holographic image of Eldora, Charlotte replied "I have already said it in the first tribunal... the one that happened when Brandon awakened his ether."

"If anyone wants to kill him... then you will have to step over my corpse first. It was a warning to all of you."

The representatives shifted uncomfortably in their holograms, hearing her sharp tone.

"And Maevrith still dared to try to kill him," Charlotte continued, her green eyes narrowing. "So I had to act first."

The woman from the Lionhearts faction leaned forward in her panel, "But why would you destroy the facilities with the military?"

"You’re using your power for your selfish desires. This isn’t justice... it’s vengeance. You’ve overstepped, Fleurdys. The Lionhearts will not stand for this abuse of authority!"

Charlotte turned her gaze to the Lionhearts’ screen, "That day, you all decided that Brandon should not be killed by any of you."

"I thought that meant the government would protect him. Maevrith breached that promise and still attacked Brandon, who should be protected by the government."

"So I just took ’government actions’ against her. If the system fails, someone has to enforce it."

Eldora’s hologram flickered "Don’t twist the words, Charlotte," she said coldly.

"This isn’t enforcement. This is unilateral vigilantism. You mobilized military units without Council approval. You demolished assets belonging to a Great Noble House. Do you have any idea the precedent this sets?"

Charlotte’s expression remained unchanged, "The precedent is that no one touches my family. Maevrith crossed the line. She sent an SS-rank bitch to assassinate Brandon in a rupture zone. She failed. Now she pays."

Eldora’s face hardened further "Charlotte, you remember what happened to your sister, right?" she said, her tone shifting to something almost condescending.

"She also selfishly used her power and killed the world leader at that time. For that, her core was destroyed, and she became a normal human. Are you following in her footsteps? Do you want the same fate?"

Charlotte’s gaze narrowed further, a dangerous glint flashing in her green eyes.

"You’re talking as if you were the one who broke her ether core."

"She broke it herself so she could take better care of Brandon as a normal human. Don’t get arrogant and talk shit, Eldora. Killing you isn’t that hard either."

The chamber erupted in outrage, and the holograms flickered with static as voices overlapped in a cacophony of fury.

"YOU DARE TO THREATEN THE WORLD LEADER?"

"AT THIS POINT, YOU ARE JUST FOLLOWING YOUR SISTER’S FOOTSTEPS!"

"MISS ELDORA, I ASK TO CONTAIN CHARLOTTE AND REVOKE HER STATUS AS AN EMPYREAN!"

The Lionhearts representative slammed a fist on her table, "This is treason! You’ve gone mad with power, Fleurdys. The Council will strip you of everything!"

The Crimson Aegis woman leaned in, "You think you’re above the law? Above us all? Your sister was a monster, and you’re becoming one too. We demand immediate sanctions!"

The Whispering Veil’s hooded figure spoke in a low hiss, "The Veil seconds the motion. Containment. Revocation. Before she destroys the balance we’ve fought to maintain."

Other Great Noble Houses chimed in "Arrogant!" "Dangerous!"

Eldora raised a hand on her hologram, silencing everyone.

"Charlotte Fleurdys. Your actions against the Vernhail House are a direct violation of international accords. You have threatened the World Leader. You have abused your Empyrean status for personal gain."

"The Council will convene immediately to decide your fate. Any further military mobilization or ether usage outside defensive protocols will be considered an act of war."

Charlotte leaned back in her chair, clearly unbothered "Do what you must," she said quietly.

"But remember this; I didn’t start this. Maevrith did. And if you side with her and if you protect her after what she did to my family... then you’re next."

The holograms erupted again as everyone began to shout.

Eldora’s image flickered "Session adjourned."

The screen went dark.

Panel by panel, the holograms winked out, and Charlotte sat there for a moment, stretching her arms.

She doesn’t really mind if she gets stripped of her title or if she is no longer affiliated with the government.

They can’t force her hand when she is the strongest awakener on the earth...

...right?

Kneeling in front of the throne, Eldora glanced up at the naked woman sitting on top of the throne "Your Majesty... Charlotte is acting too rashly; should we do something? She is becoming a liability."

The woman rolled her eyes and uncrossed her legs slowly "Is she getting arrogant, unaware that there are beings above her in this world?"

"Hmm..." A faint, amused hum escaped her throat. "Seems like she needs to learn her place. And fear."

"I will personally look into it later."

Opening the door, Brandon stepped into the dimly lit bedroom and saw Ravene lying sprawled across the wide bed on her stomach, completely naked, with one leg bent at the knee.

Brandon paused for a second, just looking at her, and closed the door softly behind him.

The mattress dipped under his weight as he sat beside her.

His hand slid over the plush curve of her ass cheek and squeezed gently at first, then firmer, kneading the soft flesh as his thumbs dug in just enough to make her skin dimple.

Ravene’s body responded instinctively, and Brandon leaned down, pressing a slow, open-mouthed kiss to the upper swell of one cheek, closer to the crease where thigh met ass.

Ravene rolled lazily onto her back, her breasts shifting with the motion as she looked up at him.

"Husband..." A slow, sultry smile spread across her face when she saw him hovering above her.

He moved to sit against the headboard, and she moved and cuddled into his arms, kissing his cheek.

"Aunt Rave..."

As she sat with her back pressed on his chest, he hugged her closer, one hand splaying wide over her stomach while the other slid up to cup the underside of one breast.

Sighing into his arms, she murmured "Did you see the news? Research facilities of House Vernhail are getting bombed by the military."

"Hmm, I did. Charlotte is really mad this time."

Ravene giggled faintly "Maevrith did it to herself, she deserves it."

With a nod, he replied "Hmm... Charlotte said she is currently investigating the researchers to find out where Maevrith is hiding."

Brandon’s hand wandered lower, and his fingers trailed down her stomach, teasing the soft skin just below her navel before reaching the space between her legs.

He cupped her pussy gently at first, pressing his palm flat against her mound, letting her feel the warmth of his hand.

Then, slowly, he parted her lips with two fingers while his middle finger slid along her slick folds.

"Mnghh..." Ravene melted instantly with a soft moan.

Her thighs trembled, spreading wider as she rolled her hips in tiny, helpless circles to chase his touch.

"Hnngh~"

He dipped lower, pressing just the tip of his finger inside her before sliding in fully, curling upward to stroke that spot that made her gasp.

"Fuck..." she breathed in a shaky voice.

He added a second finger, stretching her gently, and pumped slowly while his thumb kept circling her clit.

"I was thinking," he murmured against her ear, "about what happened in Japan... and the fight."

"Aaangh?~" Her head rolled back against his shoulder as his finger hit a sensitive spot.

Her walls fluttered around him, clenching greedily as more juices dripped down his knuckles and wrist.

He licked the outer curve of her ear, then nipped the lobe lightly "I need to get even stronger. Also a way to store more ether in my body... I almost died without enough ether to heal myself."

"Hnngh~ d-don’t worry... Haangh~" she tried to keep speaking through the pleasure. "When you get Elize’s skill... everything will be easier..."

Her words dissolved into another moan as he scissored his fingers, stretching her wider.

"Nnngh... S-She has such a powerful skill that it’s a cheat code..." she gasped, biting her lower lip to try and control the sounds spilling from her throat.

"Haa... when you can copy it, you’ll become even stronger..."

"Hnngh~ you know already," she continued, "innate skill matters more than just hard work. Like... look at my skill. I’m S-rank, but I can’t defeat my p-peers... haa..."

Her back arched sharply as he curled both fingers at once, stroking that spot relentlessly "As for your ether problem..." she panted, words slurring with pleasure.

"when you reach SS-rank... your ether core will widen... so you can store more ether... Hnngh~"

He thought about her words and she turned around, kissing him "Worry about the future later; now, pleasure me more, Husband."

Looking into her lust-filled eyes, he smiled "As my wife wishes."
