The day has finally come.
I put on a formal dark suit, with golden embroidery that complements my badge, now hung around my neck like a medallion. This polished appearance of mine perfectly matches my near-shoulder-length hair.
With glistening boots, clean white gloves, and the pristine image of a Scholar, I enter the great hall alongside the rest of my family: my father, Luther, my mother, Janith, my sister, Selicia, and finally… the star of the occasion… my brother, Craig.
Today is his Coming-Of-Age Ceremony!
Due to its small scale, the current scenery is reminiscent of a family gathering.
There aren't many guests this time, although a few friends from the Academy are attending since they've already accepted my invitation.
Of course, out of tact and societal boundaries, I didn't invite all my High Noble friends.
Perhaps I should have.
That way, Selicia and Craig would believe my stories.
