THETIA KESTLE
- "Sir Keith! Sir Keith!" I shouted as I ran behind him.
When he heard me, he stopped and turned around. Once at his level, I caught my breath because with my small legs, it was difficult for me to follow him, he was walking too fast for me. He asked me what I wanted because he was on his way to the library to prepare and organize my math lesson for this afternoon. Mathematics was not my strong point, but I understood pretty much everything we were discussing. As with Angela, it was clear that he was very passionate about what he was teaching. In addition to math, he taught me his native language and I loved it! Discovering new cultures and languages was very interesting. Sometimes I would say a few sentences during meals and my family would applaud me, and that would put me in

I respected his opinion on peasantry, but it frustrated me that he was so closed-minded and didn't even try to put himself in his people's shoes. When he said that most people in this world felt the same way, I wondered if my family was a part of it; I hoped with all my heart that they were not. I hesitated to ask them, I was afraid they would find me strange. But keeping my doubts to myself was not the way to get answers.- "Is it true that most people think that peasantry is an underclass, that we can control at our ease?"My whole family stopped eating and looked at me surprised by my question. At the same time, I don't think a five-year-old child would ask this kind of question, especially during a me

Still with my eyes half closed, they washed me, dressed me and took me to the dining room, where the good smell of warm bread filled the room. Only my father was sitting at the table, my mother and my siblings were probably sleeping. As I ate my lunch, I saw Angela walk in and sit at the table.-"Hello Angela! How are you?"I asked her with a grin on my face.- "Hello Thetia, I'm fine, although a little tired".- "By the way, why did the servants wake me up so early?"- "I have something to do with it"Angela admitted;"since your education is progressing very quickly and to congratulate you, I have decided

This time we will focus on the theme of betrayal, with the most famous work that anyone knows: "The Betrayal of the Ocean" by Milton Barr".- "I learned about this book at the castle; it seems to be Mother's favorite. But it's tough for a child to grasp the meaning, according to her".- "Your mother is right. Nonetheless, if I consider your academic abilities, which are superior to those of the other children, I am sure that you can comprehend the sense of the word betrayal. But first, I'd like to know: "With what you've learned from your lessons with Keith and myself, what concept, what sense can you give to the word betrayal?"- "I'll say it happens whe

She gave it to me but I did not feel like opening it directly, I wanted to wait for my family to be with me. The same maid took me to the dining room, where the other members were. As for Angela, she told me that she was going to take a rest.-"Dear Thetia Kestle. You are invited to Prince Harlan VII Vassethier's cake party on Friday, January 11 at 2:15 pm. A Royal Family carriage will be sent to you to ensure your trip is as smooth as possible. Please accept, Miss Thetia Kestle, my most respectful greetings.

I hope with all my heart that you will have a wonderful time this afternoon. But please, sit down".I did as he said and sat down. I noticed that he was looking me up and down very attentively. Not knowing what to do because of the stress, I started to play with my fingers, waiting for him to ask me a question to fill the silence. I didn't dare to look him in the eye, for fear of appearing rude. Suddenly, I heard him laughing softly.-"Don't be so nervous Miss, everything is going to be fine. I invited you to the cas

░ The Azure Castle, Ashton, The Kingdom Kestle, Edios░ Monday, March 13, 1251░ 12.26 pmTHETIA KESTLEIt had been two months since my afternoon with the Crown Prince. We had exchanged several letters in the meantime, and in one of them I learned that our study session had to be postponed to this month, because a new conflict had erupted in their kingdom, and the King had gone with his son to settle the problem. I thought that father would also have to leave, since he was the leader of the royal army of the King of Edios, but apparently the situation would not get out of hand and the King would be able to fight back against any attacks. Just before he left, Harlan VII had written me a nice letter, full of thoughtfulness and prose. Since he didn't know how long he would be gone, he tried to ask his father if he could visit me in Ashton once. However, the King refused his request, as he had no idea how future eve

Our parents were exasperated by our behavior, but I warned them that it wasn't my place to apologize, but rather my terrible, jealous sister's. Knowing her, she was far too prideful to come and apologize, so she would never do it.She would wait a few days, a few weeks for the matter to settle down and come back as if nothing had happened.Today I received two sad news. First, Angela and Keith were going back to Hiviro for a while to see their family and friends. They really deserved a break, as they had been working diligently for three years to ensure that I would have the right culture for later on. I had heard rumors that the King was putting a lot of pressure on them to get my educat

░ The Azure Castle, Ashton, The Kingdom of Kestle, Edios░ Wednesday, June 30, 1255░ At 10:15 amTHETIA KESTLEFour years had passed. I had been twelve years old for five days. I had only four years left before I reached adulthood, before I was engaged to a man I didn't know, with whom I would have nothing in common, who would surely not help me blossom and make me smile every day. Most marriages in the nobility were marriages of interest, mostly political. For example, Angela had told me that the King and Queen met for the first time, two days before their wedding. Fortunately for them, they quickly found common ground and mutual, sincere interests to truly love each other. One could also refer to my uncle, Hezekiah Kestle. He had married Fabiana Di Angelli so he could get revenge on my father. He used her and was used by her, without perhaps even realizing it, too blinded by his illusion of revenge and jealou
