Even I Sometimes Stare At Her Beauty In Trance

"Sect leader, it's the Gracious Flower Sect…" Elder Ryan spoke as the group walked forward.

Sect leader Kalm looked forward towards a big group mostly consisting of beautiful females, while the men in the group didn't dare to keep their heads up.

"Should we wait for them to pass through?" Elder Stolz suggested.

"Hmm? Why is that sect allowed to take their disciple with them?" Ace questioned loudly.

"Umm… Elder Ace, that is the Gracious Flower Sect, one of the top 4 Sects in the city, being the strongest, they don't have to participate in preliminaries, so their disciples are allowed to watch the tournament with their elders" Elder Ryan answered softly.

"Gracious Flower Sect… sounds familiar…" Ace muttered.

"Of course it sounds familiar… they are in the top 4 after all" Elder Ryan answered.

"No… I wasn't talking about tha-"

"Brother Ace?" As they were talking, a girly voice was heard.

"You are… Maya, right?" Ace spoke, remembering the girl he talked with when he first arrived in the inner city.

"Yes, I am Maya! How are you?" Maya exclaimed as she left her group and rushed towards Ace, a middle-aged woman followed behind Maya, and seeing that, the whole group followed them while the elders of Inferno Sword Sect lowered their head, not daring to make eye contact.

"I am doing fine, what about you? Are you here to participate in the tournament?" Ace questioned, completely ignoring the people of the Gracious Sword Sect.

"I am but wait… how are you here? If you want to participate, shouldn't you move towards the registration hall?" Maya questioned.

"Hmm? Why would I participate, I am an elder here" Ace smiled and Maya's eyes widened in disbelief.

"You… you are an elder…?" Maya questioned in disbelief.

Ace smiled in reply and Maya's shock increased.

"Maya, won't you introduce us to your friend here?" The middle-aged woman behind Maya questioned.

"Oh, I am sorry, Sect leader Fianna, he is my friend, Ace Vorste, that is his Wife, Maeve Vorste, and the girl he is holding must be Gracie Vorste.

Brother Ace, she is Sect Leader Fianna, my master and the Sect Master of the Gracious Flower Sect" Maya introduced.

Sect Leader Fianna was a perfect example of a matured beauty, she had blue colored hairs, thin eyebrows, juicy looking lips, and a well-carved face but that wasn't what gardens most of the attention towards her.

It was her bust, she possessed a huge rack and her curves were unhidden even though she wore loose robes. It wasn't very simple to control the desires building inside when you look at her.

"Nice to meet you" Ace nodded but Sect Leader Fianna completely ignored his presence and walked towards Maeve.

"You are really beautiful, Mrs. Maeve" Sect Leader Fianna complimented.

After listening to the compliment, the few males within the Gracious Flower Sect raised their heads and their eyes widened when they saw Maeve.

Even after a while, their eyes never left the girl and their expression turned lustful.

*Whoosh*

*Thud*

"Hmph! Filthy men! How dare you ogle at her like that!?" Sect leader Fianna roared, the wind blew and one of the men's bodies flew back and clashed with a wall.

"And you! How can you not do anything when someone is glaring at your woman!?" Sect Leader Fianna questioned Ace.

"Hmph! He must be scared" Another woman snorted while others in the group had a mocking smile.

"Hmm? Why would I do anything?" Ace shrugged.

"Yo-" Sect Leader Fianna's eyes widened but before she could refute, Ace continued.

"Can you not see how extremely beautiful she is!?" Ace questioned pointing towards Maeve.

"I, her husband, who lives with her and sees her every day, even I sometimes just stand at a place and stare at her beauty in trance.

How can someone, who has never seen her before not stare at her?" Ace questioned while Maeve had a bright smile on her face.

"You mean to say that you won't do anything if someone stares at your wife?"

"Well, it is not like I won't do anything, I more precisely, it is that I can't do anything. She's an empire toppling beauty; it is natural that people will stare at her.

There is an option of making her cover her face but why would I do that?

She's mine!

My pride!

My Love!

Why would I hide her?" Ace answered and Maeve's smile widened. Even Sect Leader Fianna had a slight change in her expressions.

"Then what would you do if someone tries to seduce her?"

"I'll kill him" Ace replied and the temperature around the place suddenly dropped.

"What if the other party is stronger than you?"

"I will run away with her, get stronger, return, and will kill him" Ace answered and Sect Elder Fianna smiled.

"I like what you said and I hope you always remain like this. Congratulations, You are the first man I am not disgusted by" Sect Leader Fianna complimented.

"Well, I am awesome, yeah" Ace shrugged.

"Well, we'll meet in the tournament" Sect Leader Fianna smiled and turned around.

Only when she left did the other elders sighed in relief while Ace didn't even bother answering her.

"Should we go? I don't want to be late," Ace spoke and others looked at him as if he was a god.

Not many dared to talk with Sect Leader Fianna so blatantly, especially men. She is a popular Man-hater. Many tried to woo her but they all disappeared without a trace.

"Yeah… I think we should go…" Elder Ryan nodded and they continued.

…

The group entered inside the cabinet assigned to the Sect.

"It is bigger than I thought…" Ace muttered as he looked around.

The cabinet was about the same size as the carriage, the wall facing the stage was made of transparent glass, giving the best possible view. Sofas were aligned in front of the wall and even refreshments were provided but the most eye-catching item was a blue-colored crystal that had a size of a football.

"That's a betting crystal!" Elder Ryan exclaimed.

"You are allowed to bet?" Ace questioned.

"Though not many elders do it, the bets are allowed"

"Does the normal audience have the right to bet?"

"Well, they are the main source of income, so, of course, they are allowed to bet. Are you interested in it, Elder Ace?" Elder Ryan questioned.

"Hmm? No, I was just asking" Ace replied and sat on the sofa with Maeve sitting by his side.

Ace used one hand to hold Gracie while his other hand moved towards Maeve's waist, pulling her even closer.

"Ace!" Maeve hissed lightly as she looked around.

"What? Can't I hug my wife?" Ace questioned innocently to which Maeve rolled her eyes.

"Pwapa!" Gracie exclaimed as she pointed towards the stage.

"It will start soon, princess~" Ace answered while kneading Gracie's cheeks.

…

Inside another cabinet.

"So, was that the guy you were talking about?" Sect Leader Fianna questioned.

"Mhm… what do you think about him, Master?" Maya questioned.

"He has a wife already" Sect Leader Fianna replied.

"I don't mind being a second one…" Maya answered.

"If you had told me that you want to be a second wife earlier, I would have beaten you until you forget about him and find a better man, but now that I have met him, I don't think you can forget about him let alone find a better man…" Sect Leader Fianna answered honestly. She wasn't joking when she said that Ace was the first man who she wasn't disgusted by. Let alone disgusted, she was even impressed by him, but the latter didn't even bother looking at her more than required.

"So… does that mean master allows it?" Maya questioned.

"Even though Sect Leader Fianna do, do you think you can make him notice you?" Another woman questioned.

"Mhm, Elder Aurora is right, that girl, Maeve, she is really pretty" Sect Leader Fianna nodded.

"Yes, and the way that Ace spoke, it was clear how much he loves her, I don't think he will have another woman beside her, you think you can beat her?" Elder Aurora questioned.

"I don't think I can beat her in beauty, but beauty isn't the only thing women should have. What about power? I am pretty sure I can beat her in that area" Maya answered. She was confident about her strength.

"If you say it like that, I think your chances are pretty good" Elder Aurora nodded and Maya's face brightened.

"I won't say that for sure" Sect Leader Fianna interrupted, pouring cold water on Maya's imaginations.

"What do you mean, master?" Maya questioned.

"I don't think that girl Maeve is as weak as she pretends to be…" Sect Leader Fianna answered.

"Hmm? What are you talking about, Sect Leader Fianna? Surely you can't be saying that she is stronger than our Maya, are you?" Elder Aurora questioned.

"I can't say for sure, but I am certain that she isn't weak. When our group walked closed to them, everyone, even their Sect Leader looked uncomfortable due to our aura. The only two that were unaffected were… Ace and Maeve.

Forget about uncomfortable, it looked like they weren't bothered by it at all.

That isn't something any normal person can do. I refuse to believe that a man like Ace will choose a girl just on the basis of beauty"

"Do you mean she is stronger than me?"

"Maybe" Sect Leader Fianna replied.

"…" Elder Aurora turned silent.

"…"

"It doesn't matter! I won't give up on him, no matter what!" Maya exclaimed after a moment of silence.

"Sect Leader Fianna... you said that Ace wasn't bothered by our aura's either, does that mean he's stronger than that us?" Elder Aurora questioned.

"Well, we will know about it in the elder's fight"

"What!? Elders have to fight too!?" At the same time, Ace exclaimed when Sect Master Kalm revealed about the elder's fight.
