Getting spoiled in a woman dominating world

”The Grand Magister of Etheric Sciences, Ravene Morcelle personally?”

Eh? Brandon was dumbfounded to see her enthusiasm ”I mean.. I have known her since childhood and she is like my Aunt.”

Hearing this, Astrid’s eyes trembled ”Lady Ravene... you know her?”

She jumped from her chair and hurriedly sat on his lap as she grabbed his shoulders ”C-Can I meet her? Your Aunt? I am a big fan of hers.”

Before Brandon could reply, Astrid continued in full burst of excitement.

”I’m a huge fan! Do you even know how incredible she is? The amount of research she has contributed to the field of ether studies—her discoveries on the nature of condensed ether alone changed the entire way we understand its properties!”

Brandon shot a glance toward Clarisse, who just sighed, already used to Astrid’s behaviour.

Meanwhile, Astrid continued, completely oblivious to anything else around her ”Her theoretical models on etheric convergence were groundbreaking! Groundbreaking!”

”I mean, before she came along, everyone believed that structured ether formations were fixed! But she proved that with the right conditions, you could actually alter the nature of existing etheric constructs... do you have any idea what that means?”

Brandon, still slightly overwhelmed, hesitated before responding, ”Uh... that you can manipulate existing ether techniques rather than just creating new ones from scratch?”

”EXACTLY!” Astrid all but shouted, tightening her grip on his shoulders.

”And not just that! Her work completely rewrote the way we approach etheric artifacts and spell formations!”

”Before, modifying an existing ether formation was considered almost impossible because of the way ether stabilizes once it’s formed... but Lady Ravene proved that, under the right conditions, you can reprogram etheric constructs!”

”You can reshape them, refine them, even merge them with other formations!”

Brandon could only blink again, now feeling like he was the student and she was the professor.

”And don’t even get me started on her work in applied ether synthesis—oh my gods—”

Astrid suddenly stopped and her breath hitched as if she’d just realized something. ”Wait—WAIT—you grew up with her?! You’ve known her since childhood?! You... you’ve been around her while she worked?! You—”

Her gaze quivered as she clutched his shoulders tightly and shook him ”Tell me—TELL ME—have you ever seen her research notes?! Have you read them?! Have you seen her private theories before they were published?! HAVE YOU—”

”Calm down...”

He grapsed her hands and stopped her from shaking him.

Astrid suddenly collapsed onto his chest, as if the weight of what he just said was too much for her to bear.

”Haa.. Haa...”

Clarisse finally let out a sigh. ”Astrid.”

”President, do not interrupt me,” Astrid murmured against Brandon’s chest.

Clarisse’s eyes twitched in frustration ”You’re practically suffocating him.”

”I need this moment...” Astrid muttered.

Brandon, unsure of what to do, slowly patted her back ”Uh... there, there?”

Astrid dramatically turned her face up and her expression was utterly serious. ”Brandon Kael, become my boyfriend.”

He blinked ”Wait, what?”

”What? You get me as your girlfriend. The beautiful Astrid Valgard... you can kiss me whenever you want. OH MY GOD! MY FIRST KISS WAS TOTALLY WORTH IT.”

Brandon shook his head helplessly ”No, why would you think I would accept you as my girlfriend? I barely even know you.”

Astrid pouted upon hearing this ”Why? I would let you do all girlfriend things with me.”

She reached out and removed the blazier as she hurriedly unbuttoned her shirt ”You can even have sex...”

As she spoke, she opened her shirt, showing her chest.

Wha-

(〇_〇;) Clarisse was totally dumbfounded ’This crazy bitch...’

(๑° ⌓°๑) Brandon looked at her cleavage and the thin pink lace bra she was wearing as he asked with a thoughtful look ”...D cup?”

Astrid pouted her lips in anger ”E cup, idiot.”

-_- Clarisse shook her head ’No,. No.. why is he actually considering it? They both are crazy?’

”Astrid!”

Clarisse stood up from her seat and spoke ”Astrid, put your uniform back in order and sit down properly.”

Seeing her getting scolded, Brandon laughed in his mind.

Astrid let out a dramatic sigh but quickly did as she was told, rebuttoning her shirt and slipping her blazer back on.

”You are ruining my moment, President.”

Clarisse’s lips twitched ”Ruining your moment? You just tried to seduce him out of nowhere.”

She huffed, flipping her vibrant green hair over her shoulder ”I wasn’t seducing him. I was making an honest proposal.”

Brandon raised an eyebrow ”I would believe it more if you didn’t just throw out the offer five minutes after meeting me.”

Astrid gasped, placing a hand over her heart in mock offense ”Are you doubting my sincerity?! Brandon, how cruel.”

He simply shook his head again with a sigh ”No, I’m doubting your sanity.”

Astrid tapped a finger against her lips playfully ”My sanity? I prefer the term ’passionately enthusiastic.’”

He gave her a deadpan look ”You literally started unbuttoning your shirt to me.”

She huffed ”And? You got a good look, didn’t you? You even guessed my cup size wrong. Tch, I’m disappointed, Brandon. You need to train your eyes better.”

Brandon stayed silent on that as he did take a good look at her chest.

Clarisse finally decided to put an end to the nonsense. ”Astrid, control yourself. You’re acting disgracefully, even for you.”

”Alright, Alright.”

Astrid got down from her lap and sat on the chair beside him.

Looking at her, Clarisse could only sigh internally ’Good thing the other members are not here...’

She then glimpsed at Brandon ”Brandon, for now, let’s go to Admission Hall and get your photo taken.”

With a nod, Brandon stood up, and Astrid also stood up to follow them.

However, Clarisse shot her a look and uttered ”And Astrid, you stay here.”

Ehhhh? Astrid pouted her lips and sat there obediently.

”Come on, Brandon.”

As they stepped out of the hall, Clariss muttered ”Sorry for that, Brandon.. she is quite enthusiastic.”

With a chuckle, Brandon shook his head ”No, it’s okay.. I don’t dislike it.”

”Mhm...”

They finally reached the Admission hall and got his photo taken.

---

Stepping out, Brandon looked at his photo in his ID card and Clarisse, who was walking beside him, asked ”How is it?”

Slipping the card in his pocket, he casually replied ”I am handsome as always...”

Clarisse couldn’t help but chuckle upon hearing this, and Brandon blinked as this was the first time he saw her smile, and she was even giggling.

A bit later, she looked at him and spoke ”You can go now. If you have any other problems.. do not hesitate to come to me.”

”Mhm...”

---

In the evening, Brandon walked back to the restricted Research Labs in the Academy wing, and the two women guards who were standing outside stopped him.

”You are... him. But you can’t enter now.”

Brandon tilted his head and spoke ”But Miss Ravene asked me to come and meet me here.. because she said she has to do some tests on me.”

Hearing this, both of them looked at each other, and they know yesterday Brandon was here for research.

With a nod, they let him in.

Walking through the facility, some researchers shot him curious glances.

Soon he found Ravene’s room and knocked on it.

A few seconds later, the door opened, and seeing Brandon, a smile appeared on her face ”Kael...”

”Aunt Rave..”

He entered and closed the door behind him.

Without hesitation, he pulled her into his arms and leaned forward, taking her lips in a deep kiss.
