Maryann Janiquel Franx: Origin III

MaryJane's P.O.V

We were allowed through the gate to the middle city after a series of checks.

It was my first time being in the middle city, and I'd always wished to see it. Although I didn't facially show it, I was quite impressed...

Unlike in the Lower city, the buildings were properly organized and spaced apart and none was below two floors! Apart from school, I'd never entered a building that had more than one floor!

It was quite fascinating.

But the anxiety made my stomach churn and I was ready to turn back when mum's hand fell on mine. She squeezed it tightly and smiled at me...

I forced a smile back knowing it was already too late to turn back and in a short time, we arrived at the mansion. No one had even bothered to tell me the groom's name, but they escorted us in hastily and I couldn't help but feel a little suspicious.
