Reign locked her eyes on River, not moving them away for a split second.
"Would you like to repeat yourself, Assessor (advisor)?" Reign asked calmly, as if she wasn't choking her twin.
She must've loosened her grip, as River stopped struggling and looked at Reign, the atmosphere still. None of them said a word, as they observed each other, as Reign snapped her head towards me, and I swallowed my words and stepped back, bowing my head.
Although the Council had adapted the modern society, the hierarchy was just as strict as before.
Along with mutual respect came inflexible authority, as Rei and his Conselheiro stood on top of the pyramid, while the Assessor stood below them, and the Councilors soon followed. The Knights below them all, nonetheless, their position was still above all the mafia leaders

I had recently been promoted to a Councilor, but my rank and jurisdiction was below both of them, and personally, I wouldn't dare to challenge Reign in the games of power.
"I had given Richard my word of honour, Assessor, and Rei never takes back her word of honour, River. If you as much as affect the course of action, brother, you know I can do much worse, don't you?" Reign asked River, her gaze zeroed on him.
