The Empire of Thetia Friday, February 08, 1258
░ The Library of the Peak, Beddon, The Kingdom Kestle, Edios ░ Friday, February 08, 1258 ░ At 5:00 pm THETIA KESTLE Four days had passed since my return from Duaples. The conversation with Olivier De Guignes had affected me. In fact, I had nightmares that night about finding myself in the shoes of my grandmother Marie, imprisoned between stone walls, where her only friends were dust and insects. And to think that she had lived this punishment almost all her life... Her tormentor was punished in some way. He died at the hands of his own flesh, which hated him for the treatment he had given his mother. It was far from a judgment, it was an execution. My grandfather Harlan V had never been judged with the dignity of the criminal and tyrant that he was. Very few people knew the truth that Marie De Guignes was locked in a dungeon and threw herself from the top, giving herself death as the only way to escape. I now realized why my parents had never told me about their parents. On both

░ The Kingdom Kestle, Edios ░ Saturday, February 09, 1258 ░ Unknown hour THETIA KESTLE I didn't know how long it had been since the attack on my carriage. The last thing I remembered was a pain in my abdomen before I passed out. It was a brutal return to reality. I woke up violently and it took several minutes before I could breathe again. I tried to get up and move my arms, but I was tied up. The room I was in was dark and gloomy. There was a small window, but the amount of bars prevented the light from getting in. I heard droplets of water falling on a surface that was probably metal. The repetitive noise was beginning to get on my nerves. Honestly, it was the first time in my life that I was so scared. I was in an unfamiliar place, with strangers and the reason for my kidnapping was unknown to me. Although because of the situation with the Di Angelli's and Hezekiah, I assumed that this was the reason for my kidnapping. Hezekiah would demand a ransom from my family, but not in

░ The Kingdom Kestle, Edios ░ Monday, February 11, 1258 ░ At 10:20 am THETIA KESTLE Four whole days without news of my daughter. Last Friday, her soldier Andrew and Angela returned to the castle wounded and without a carriage. As I sat at my desk, reviewing important documents, I heard quick footsteps approaching the door. Without waiting to be summoned, a panicked servant opened the door wide and rushed into the room. "Your Majesty! Your daughter, Miss Thetia, has been kidnapped!" she cried breathlessly. Shocked, I rose abruptly from my chair and looked at the servant in disbelief. "How? When? Where is she?" I asked in a trembling voice. The servant, who had caught her breath, explained that a group of bandits had attacked the convoy in which Thetia, Andrew and Angela were travelling. I clenched my fists in rage. "How dare they do that!" I exclaimed angrily. "We must find them now!" I immediately sprang into action, giving precise orders to my soldiers and dispatching mess

░ The Azure Castle, Ashton, The Kingdom of Kestle, Edios ░ Sunday, June 25, 1259 ░ At 8:15 pm THETIA KESTLE All the nobility of the allied nations had come: the royal family of Duaples and the ducal family of De Guignes. The imperial family of Acora with all the children without exception. The imperial family of Dracoris who had accompanied Lowis and of course, the imperial family of Edios and all the great families of this same nation. The guests numbered in the hundreds. The streets of the capital were vibrant, festive and the mood was bright. The citizens had decorated the cobbled streets in the colours of the younger Kestle, to show their support for this new young woman coming of age. Thetia looked beautiful on her coming-of-age day. Her long dress was a fiery red and sparkled in the candlelight that decorated the castle's great hall. The puffed sleeves of the dress were made of light red satin, decorated with gold embroidery, pearls and precious stones. Her long hair had

░ The Imperial Castle, Hornsey, The Vassethier Kingdom, Edios ░ Wednesday, September 17, 1259 ░ At 2:15 pm THETIA KESTLE In a large room of the castle, Emperor Harlan VI was patiently waiting for his court to arrive. He had summoned the most important members of his kingdom to make an important announcement. All his allies had come, longing to hear what the Emperor was going to tell them. For a fortnight, Harlan VI had been preparing a grandiose reception for the occasion. He had commissioned the best musicians, the best cooks and had even recruited twice as many servants in order to finish in time. Everything had to be impeccable, he had no choice. Oriane and Lydia had taken care of the decoration and had carefully chosen the lunch menu. His family knew what he was going to say in a few hours. One of his children was much more excited and cheerful than the others. Nevertheless, he would have preferred to do it in a more intimate atmosphere and not in front of hundreds of people

░ The Imperial Castle, Hornsey, The Vassethier Kingdom, Edios ░ Wednesday, September 17, 1259 ░ At 3:00 pm THETIA KESTLE Angela could not believe her ears. Jane Kestle had just revealed to the Imperial family, her family and the entire court of the Emperor, that Thetia, the perfect young girl, had a lover and had no feelings for the Crown Prince. Harlan VII looked lost, sad and gloomy. He felt betrayed by the person he cherished, whom he admired every day and with whom he wanted to share his life. The tutor took advantage of the hubbub to go and warn Thetia and Andrew. She ran as fast as she could. It reminded her of a certain period in her life. She had to keep running to survive so as not to be killed. Without waiting for an answer to enter, she broke down the door and closed it with a loud bang. Both lovers gasped, anxious to have been caught in each other's arms. As Thetia was about to speak, Angela cut her off. "You must flee Edios! There's not a minute to lose!" the usual

░ The Kestle Kingdom, Edios ░ September 1259 ░ During the afternoon THETIA KESTLE The two lovers ran through the narrow streets of the villages and the dense forests around them, pursued by the soldiers of the imperial army. Their short breaths mingled with the sound of their footsteps, and their hearts beat faster and faster as they felt the soldiers getting closer. Andrew held his beloved's hand, fearing he would never see her again. His survival instinct had taken over. He had to survive! They were both exhausted and scared, but they knew they had to keep running if they wanted to stay alive. Who knows what would happen if they were captured. Andrew knew he would surely be executed, but what about Thetia? Perhaps the public would forgive her, perhaps she would be disowned by her own family and friends? However, he was sure she would stay alive. She was far too important to Edios and the imperial family. They had tried to escape from Hornsey to safety, but soon they were surro

░ The Azure Harbour, The Kestle Kingdom, Edios ░ Unknown date ░ Around 12 am THETIA KESTLE I was standing on the docks of the Azure port, located in the south of the Kestle Kingdom. This port was one of the busiest parts of the southern Kingdom. Ships of all shapes and sizes were moored at the docks, and the sound of shouting sailors and passers-by filled the air. As I approached, I could see the masts of the ships reaching for the sky, proudly waving the flags of various nations. The cargo ships were the most numerous, carrying goods such as spices, cloth, precious metals and prisoners. The docks were crowded with busy people, carts and crates. Merchants bustled around their ships, supervising the loading and unloading of their goods. Peddlers, craftsmen and thieves tried to sell their wares and services as well, while fishermen came to trade their freshly caught fish. The smell of sea salt, fish and ship's oil permeated the air. The cries of seagulls and the sound of the wav
