THETIA KESTLE
On top of a mountain covered with a thick layer of snow, stood the Castle Annagrazia, the royal palace and residence of the Di Angelli family on Edios. Built after the victory of conquest of the Di Angelli Kingdom, north of the capital Larmerelli, it almost blended with the landscape. In the center of the capital, the famous Cattedrale Bianca had been built, which is a replica of the one in Carrassina, the capital of Hiviro, right next to the Biblioteca Bianca, where the holy books were kept.
The Di Angelli religion was based on the prophet Menelao Di Angelli. Thus, as her family name indicates, Fabiana and her children were the direct descendants of a prophet, and therefore their influence was not to be taken lightly. They were the voice of the Divine and they carried out his wishes
░ The Azure Castle, Ashton, Kestle Kingdom, Edios░Saturday, January 20, 1257░ At 3:15 pmTHETIA KESTLEI was over the moon since my return from Hornsey. No sooner had I set foot in my own home than I bombarded my parents with requests to enter the Imperial Academy. To my surprise, they agreed. However, even if the situation had calmed down, I would still have to be accompanied by soldiers, which was one of their many conditions. In addition, my mother was going to ask the Empress if Archie could take care of me when I arrived. I was so happy! I was going to be able to spend more time with my friends who were already at the Academy, and I was going to be able to learn lots of new things about this world and its history.-"Hello Keith!"I called out to him as I entered the library of our castle. I must have snapped him out of his thoughts, because I saw his shoulders twitch a lit
░ The Imperial Academy, Hornsey, The Vassethier Kingdom, Edios░ Wednesday, January 24,1257░ At 12:30 pmTHETIA KESTLEIt had been three hours now since the youngest Kestle had been in the office of the Headmaster of the Imperial Academy, Count Patrick Jones-Rutherwan. His family had been vassals of the Imperial family for generations now. Before he was the Headmaster, he had studied at this school, and had started as a teacher. Then, he was hired by important families to become the tutor of their children. He worked as a tutor for twenty years before returning to the Academy as a teacher. Eventually, he rose through the ranks and ended his career as the Headmaster of the most prestigious school in Edios.He, who had taught many children of various intellectual abilities, was surprised to learn through his assistant that the young Thetia Kestle, the one who is at the heart of the gossip of the King's cou
░ The Imperial Academy, Hornsey, Kingdom of Vassethier, Edios░ Friday, February 9, 1257░ At 4:00 pmTHETIA KESTLETime was flying by so fast! I had been at the Imperial Academy for less than three weeks now. After the treasurer of the Student Council gave me a tour of the girls' dorms and explained how it worked, I went on my own to meet all my teachers. It seemed normal to greet them, it was common courtesy. They were surprised to see me, but they appreciated my initiative. I shared my room with Oriane, who before my arrival was all alone. She had told me that her father, as a security measure, did not want the Princess to share her room, because one could never know the real intentions of people. So when Oriane told me at lunch that I would be staying with her, I was particularly surprised. This implied that the Emperor and Empress had great confidence in me, and I was very flattered.Every Friday I h
░ The Azure Castle, Ashton, The Kestle Kingdom, Edios░ Monday, February 19, 1257░ At 9:20 amTHETIA KESTLEThese last few years were difficult for me. Despite my alliance with my uncle Hezekiah, Thetia's popularity was still intact, as if all the effort I had put into destroying her had done nothing. For example, I had tried to make her out to be a thief, a liar and a bully on the lower class, but nothing worked. On the contrary, a year ago, a wave of hatred was unleashed on me and for a long time, I couldn't even attend the balls, the cake party. I had to stay cooped up within four walls all day, while my sister was having fun. I felt like she didn't even realize what I was doing to her. No matter what I did to her, I felt like fate would protect her forever. It wasn't fair... why could anything good happen to me? What did I do to deserve all this? Even the behavior of my so-called friends had changed drastic
░ Senia's Inn, Tijano, The Kestle Kingdom, Edios░ Tuesday, March 20, 1257░ At 7:00 pmTHETIA KESTLELast night, I said goodbye to the Imperial Academy. I had been hesitating to pursue my education for several days. I had requested an appointment with the Headmaster and the teachers at the Academy to get their advice on how to handle the situation. In addition, I had spoken to Keith and Angela, and both of them admitted that they had suspected it for some time. They could see that, when I would attend the sixth and fifth grade classes, I wasn't enjoying them. I found the classes too simple, when normally a teenager of my age would not understand them. Maybe I was far from normal at that point. I must have worried the teachers because Archie came to see me to talk about it and that's when I told him that I was going to leave the Academy. Of course, the school Headmaster was disappointed that I did not finish my
░ Everster, The Kestle Kingdom, Edios░ Tuesday, April 24, 1257░ At 6:20 pmTHETIA KESTLEThe big day had finally arrived: it was my birthday! I was finally a sixteen-year-old adult. For the occasion, I had organized a party to celebrate it, since one did not turn sixteen every day. I had obviously invited my family, the Imperial family, the families of the Duchies and people I used to attend regularly at balls or closed circles to which I belonged. In total, there must have been approximately one hundred guests. Since the beginning of the year, I had been busy organizing it and deciding what I was going to wear, not to mention my gifts. Despite the pressure Hezekiah was putting on me to succeed in destroying my sister, I decided to put this agreement aside, to at least enjoy my birthday. However, Hezekiah must not have appreciated this action on my part, because a few days before my sixteenth birthday, I recei
░ Everster, The Kestle Kingdom, Edios░ Tuesday, April 24, 1257░ At 11:45 pmTHETIA KESTLETime flew by at a bewildering pace and the time for the ball opening approached. Many young men had asked me for a dance, which I accepted out of respect. Unlike the other girls, I did not have a partner, because the only partner I wanted was Prince Harlan VII. As I was chatting with some guests, I saw them waving to someone behind me. I turned around and came face to face with the Prince. I hurried to greet him so I wouldn't appear to be rude. He seemed to be elsewhere, tired, without much energy. His trip to Duaples must have tired him out a lot. Especially since I had heard that the King of Duaples had put a lot of pressure on him when Anastasia had been assaulted by a girl at the Imperial Academy.-"Happy birthday Miss Jane. I'm sorry I didn't bring you a present, I arrived from Duaples yesterday and
░ The Azure Castle, Ashton, The Kestle Kingdom, Edios░ Thursday, April 26, 1257░ At 10:15 amTHETIA KESTLEOn this sunny morning, the Kestle estate was still asleep. Two days after Jane's birthday party, the Duke and Duchess had stayed behind to oversee the dismantling of the belongings and ensure the safe return of the guests. Lowis, had returned to Dracoris with his fiancée, Ana Sofía, who was more than happy to have met her future husband's family. Duchess Mary had been especially warm and welcoming, which made her less anxious during the evening. Ana Sofía had had the opportunity to chat with Jane and Thetia, and, she now understood, why it was said that the two were the perfect opposites, they were. Lowis may have apologized, and even though she didn't know the whole story about the relationship between him and Jane, it wasn't hard to notice that his attitude changed when he talked to Thetia, and when he talked to Jane. Everyone could see it. Still, she had fun and was able to
