The Author's POV

Chapter 204

"Looking good Ren"

"Sharp"

With my tie still crooked, I headed towards the lobby of the Manticore building. With me, Leo, and Pram heading an hour earlier than the others, the lobby of the building was relatively deserted.

It was evident that everyone was still busy dressing up for tonight.

"Can't say the same about you guys though"

Pulling the side of my collar I took a look at Leo and Pram and shook my head. Leo's suit was too big for him, and Pram's suit was a bit too tight for him.

They looked ridiculous.

"Are you sure you guys didn't swap suits?"

If they swapped suits they'd probably look normal.

Leo and Pram's smiles instantly froze. Their faces turned red.

"Says the guy that doesn't even know how to put on his tie!"

"You! Is this what you say after we compliment you?"

Hooking my arms around them I laughed.

"haha, I'm kidding let's go get a taxi. The ride is going to take some time..."

The banquet was not held at the academy. In fact, It was located in a separate private establishment quite far from the academy.

[Le manoir vert]

The owners of the establishment were of french descent, and naturally, it had a french ambient because of it. The establishment was fairly popular, as most wealthy individuals in Ashton city knew of its name.

"Thank you"

—Clank!

Exiting the taxi, with Leo and Pram in tow, we headed towards the mansion. Observing the mansion from afar, I muttered.

"We're finally here"

After thirty minutes, we had finally arrived at our destination.

Sitting at the center of a small hill, the mansion looked spectacular. Built using white-colored brick, the house's visual perfectly complemented the greenery that surrounded it. The tall, rectangular windows by the side of the house added an overall posh and sophisticated look to the mansion.

At the roof of the mansion was a tall, dark blue sloping roof that was nicely hipped.

"Damn, this is fancier than I expected"

Recovering from his stupor, Leo exclaimed.

"I agree"

"Yup, I agree. How about we go in?"

I suggested, to which Leo and Pram replied with a nod.

Once again fixing my collar, I walked towards the entrance of the mansion. Out of spite, due to what I had said before, Leo and Pram did not help me fix my tie.

Petty bastards.

"Ticket please"

In front of the mansion, we were stopped by a tall bodyguard in black. He had a thick french accent.

"Here you go"

"Here"

Taking out our phones, we showed the guards our tickets. Scanning our tickets, the guard nodded his head and let us in. With a smile, he welcomed us.

"Welcome to Le manoir vert, we hope you have a nice stay"

"Thank you"

"Thanks"

Thanking the guard, we entered the mansion and walked through a long and expansive corridor. As we walked through the corridor, a nice lavender scent invaded my nostrils.
