Choosing a Side (1)

This voice was music to Ace's ears as he stood up. However, before he could take a step, an exhausted voice rang, "Fellow Brother, please wait!" 

Ace had heard this voice when he was about to ascend the staircase; it belonged to the Atlas family young man named Klay. 

He turned around and saw Klay and his sister Kaley coming toward him despite their extremely exhausted state. Their eyes were filled with reverence, and Kaley was even blushing and glancing at Ace with adoration. 

"How may I help you?" Ace impassively asked. 

Klay wasn't seemed as aloof as before, nor did he mind Ace's giving them the cold shoulder. He knew if it were him in Ace's shoes, he would do the same.
