"Mhhm! Mhhm! To the Vorste Empire!
Now-"
*Whoosh*
With a wave of a hand, a bottle of a thousand-year-old wine appeared in Ace's hand,
"-Let's celebrate"
He then grabbed Maeve's waist and pulled her close, placing her on his lap.
Maeve smiled playfully and snatched the bottle of wine from his hand, popped it open, and without any grace or class, started gobbling it up.
"Haa!? What are you doing!? Don't you know that the first sip is for the emperor!?" Ace snapped.
Maeve's luscious red lips parted from the head of the bottle, with a mouthful of wine still in her mouth. Looking deep into Ace's 'raging' eyes, she slowly gulped the wine down and smirked.
"Oh yeah? Then from now on, I am the Emperor" Maeve stated she started drinking again.
"Haa!? You dare say that!?
You dare rebel against this emperor!?
Soft, I have been too soft on you!
I shall correct my mistake and punish out those pesky thoughts of rebellion from your naughty little mind!"
Ace declared as he snatched the bottle back before 'forcefully' sealing Maeve's disastrously perfect lips with his own to drink the rest of the wine she had in her mouth.
"Hmm, Delicious~"
Ace nodded in satisfaction.
*Whoosh*
With another wave, the wine bottle disappeared and Ace tightened his grip around Maeve's toned but soft waist.
"It's time for this Emperor to punish you!"
Ace whispered softly as he placed his chin over Maeve's shoulder, his lips just an inch away from grazing Maeve's left ear. The soft breath sending shivers all around Maeve's body and her smile broadened.
"Oh? How will you punish me?" She whispered back. Her voice was so enticing that any man would have felt his body going limp with just listening to those bewitching words.
"I will punish you… err… punish you with… umm…"
"Hmm? Are you perhaps getting soft again, your majesty?" Maeve chuckled, her voice, still as enrapturing as ever.
"Haa? No! Not at all! Once this Emperor declares that he will punish someone, even if it is you, he shall never go back on his imperial words.
It was just that your punishment is too wicked to be stated out loud. Thus I shall personally impart you your sentence and oversee your repentance."
With that said, Ace, with Maeve in his grasp, fell on the bed, before turning and rolling on the top, his hands were placed on either side of her head as he looked deep into Maeve's icy blue eyes with incomparable love.
Maeve chuckled as she questioned, "Are you sure you are not rewarding me instead, Your Majesty?"
"Hum! Hum! Soft, too soft! I have been too soft!
To dare think of my punishment as a reward-"
Ace then closed the distance, their lips brushing past each other before he slides towards her left ear and whispered.
"Just wait and see how 'overbearing' it gets~"
With that, he sealed her juicy lips yet again.
Maeve too closed her eyes, enjoying the kiss but didn't move her hands, since this was, after all, a punishment.
But before Ace could start with the actual enjo- 'punishment', his movement paused as he sensed someone entering their courtyard. His delightful expression turned into an annoyed one as he glanced at Maeve.
"Looks like heavens favor you but don't you dare rejoice, for once this Emperor takes care of this hindrance, he shall reappear and grant you your punishment!"
…
Adler, a disciple of Inferno Sword Sect was right now walking into the courtyard of the most popular Elder in the entire Sect, Great Elder Vorste.
Though many, especially females, would jump at the opportunity to visit Elder Vorste's courtyards, as the one who has experienced it a few times in the past, Alder had an unwilling expression plastered on his face.
What others didn't know was that this Great Elder Vorste had a weird temperament, normally, he would answer in a normal mood, but sometimes, he would be fuming for an unknown reason, as if he interrupted him in between something very important and somehow annoyed him.
*Sigh*
With a sigh, Adler forced his nerves to calm down, as he moved his hand to knock on the door-
*Whoosh*
But before he could knock, the door opened, revealing Ace, who had an annoyed expression plastered on his face.
"What is it?"
He questioned.
And seeing that, Adler sighed.
'I interrupted him again… this time he looks more annoyed than the last time as well…'
To his fortune, though Ace was annoyed, unlike others with some status and power, he never vents his frustrations onto innocents. But be that as it may, those Soul Piercing look in his eyes was still as nerve-wracking as it could ever be.
"Umm… Err… Elder Ace…"
"…" Ace stayed silent, signaling him to continue.
"Elder Ace, Sect Leader Kalm expects you to be in the Sect hall in 30 minutes," Adler explained.
"You can go, I will be there" Ace replied after a sigh before closing the door.
Adler, who was left behind sighed in relief. Even though he knew nothing would happen to him, standing under that gaze was… terrifying.
He then turned around walked towards another elder's courtyard to inform him of the same news. Of course, since it was urgent and too sudden, the first Elder he informed was the Great Elder Vorste.
