Chapter 44: Currency System (2/2)

He looked at the source of the voice that woke him up, ”Hmm, what is it?”

”We have arrived,” replied Nico

”Oh, where is everybody?” asked Jake as he noticed they were the only ones in the carriage.

”Outside. We are waiting for you,” smiled Nico.

”Oh, is that so. Let's go”

Jake stood up adjusting his tie and clothes as he walked out of the carriage.

Immediately, he noticed a huge white hall with a wolf statue in front of it.

”So, this is the Capital Hall,” commented Jake.

”It's beautiful, right?” asked Nico who was beside him.

He got his reply in the form of a nod.

Uncle Todd, who was among those waiting, teased Jake, ”Glad, you could join us, sleepy”

He faced the teenagers, who were looking around, ”Now, listen! We are almost late. I have nothing to say to you, i have said it all, just remember to not disgrace my house name.”

”Yes, sir!” chanted the teens.

Most of them placed their attention somewhere. They were looking at the other nobles, who also came in carriages, as they entered the hall.

To them, the situation felt dreamlike. They never expected to ever be here at all.

As he just came out, Jake finally got a good look at all the teens. Back in the carriage, Jake couldn't get a good look at them and he also wasn't interested in doing so.

However, now that he had the time and space, there was no harm in doing it, was there?

Glancing, Jake noticed that most of them wore black suits, with the exception of a few like Andrew and Nico, who wore colored suits.

The females were dressed in beautiful long dresses and braided their hair.

For example, Jaya wore an ornate blue dress that flowed from top to bottom. It had a v-neckline, which gracefully revealed her beautiful skin. The corset of her dress covered her stomach where the continuous flow was broken by a light rope belt worn quite high around her waist.

Below the rope, the dress opened slightly, revealing her gorgeous and smooth legs.

Her sleeves were short, with a circle spot opened on both sleeves. Also, Her purple hair was braided in a french braid style.

Together with her beautiful figure, she looked very attractive.

She walked together with Lola, who wore a similar dress as hers, but her black dress was more tighter, highlighting her petite stature. Also, her black hair was braided into a ponytail style.

In their respective dresses, Lola and Jaya caught the stares of the crowds, even the nobles, who could all agree that their beauty was definitely rare.

”What are you all staring for? Let's go. The celebration is about to start,” shouted Uncle Todd.

He was followed behind by Gavin and the trio, as they entered the large hall….
