- "It's been months since the media has been talking about it, the Empire of Thetia officially opened its borders with the Eight Kingdoms a month ago. According to statistics, more than 200,000 people have visited the Empire since November. This is a colossal amount and the places of accommodation and tourism of Thetia did not expect this massive influx as soon as the borders opened. One month after this wave, they finally managed to keep up the pace, and more and more inhabitants are showing a strong interest in visiting the island. Our teams followed the Horn family from the town of Hornsey in the Vassethier Kingdom, who booked a week and a half vacation on Thetia. Father Peter, 40 years old, works as an engineer for the car company Astier. The mother Sabrina, born in Marnes, the capital of Duaples, works as a freelance translator and interpreter and finally, their two children Kendall the elder and Eliott the younger, both active on the Youtube platform. They gave us an appointment in their house, in full preparation for the departure".
It is currently 7 a.m. and it is in this house, located in the 15th district of Hornsey, that Peter, Sabrina and their two children Kendall and Eliott live. This family is passionate about traveling and has visited most of the countries of the Eight Kingdoms. Whenever everyone has free time, they travel around the world. Thus, she felt more than obliged to discover this new country, this new world that was the Empire of Thetia.
- "Welcome to our home! Kids, come say hello!"
Two youths quickly arrived from the second floor, almost missing falling down. They waved quickly before returning just as quickly upstairs, probably to continue packing.
- "They have been like this since last night because they have been waiting for this vacation for a very long time. When Peter told them that we were going to visit the Empire of Thetia, they jumped for joy".
- "Kendall! Don't forget your cameras if you want to film from time to time!"
- "Yes I know! It's the first thing I put in my bag that I will take on the plane".
After a few minutes, the family was ready to go to Hornsey airport, heading for the city of Bradford in the Kingdom of Rilan, located in the North-East of the Thetia Empire. After having their luggage checked in and checked out, as well as picking up their business class tickets, they left for the lounge reserved for their class to have breakfast before taking off. The Horns traveled with Edios Airlines, the main airline company that operated long distance flights between Edios and the countries of the Eight Kingdoms. Thanks to his work, Peter was able to get a discount on business seats and decided to give his family the benefit of it. As for the children, they filmed every nook and cranny of the lounge and explained where they were going for their future spectators. At 8:45 a.m., a female voice resounded through the airport, warning travellers on the Hornsey/Bradford flight to proceed immediately to the departure lounge.
Finally, settled comfortably in individual and spacious seats, the stewards and stewardesses brought them a brochure on safety measures that would be explained in a few moments, as well as a brochure on the city of Bradford. After almost 16 hours of flight time, the family finally landed at Bradford Airport at 1:25 am in the night. A tour bus was waiting for them and other families to take them to three different hotels, and the family's was the last one. Nevertheless, they had not yet arrived, as they still had 2 hours of bus ride left and the family could finally sleep in cozy beds.
The next morning, we meet the family at one of the indoor swimming pools of the hotel. Peter, explained to us that when they arrived last night, they had the surprise to be outclassed because of an error in the reservations. So, instead of a family room with three beds, they now find themselves in an apartment that is part of the hotel. Inside, there were three bedrooms that delighted the children, who could enjoy their own room, a kitchen, a private bathroom for the parents and one for the children, a dining room and a living room with a view of the Red Sea.
- "What do you have planned for today?"
- "When we arrived yesterday, the lady who took care of us informed us that a meeting about the excursions would be held tonight, so we will go with the children to see what we are going to do. Then, we are going to go to visit Haran in the afternoon because according to the weather, it will be less cold".
10:30 pm, the excursion meeting has just ended and we are waiting for the family at the entrance.
- "There were so many choices! It was so good! We are going to go to the Greenchapel National Park!"
- "As soon as Eliott heard the National Park, he begged us to go. He is a boy who loves animals!"
- "In addition to Greenchapel, we will visit Bradford, we will spend a day in the capital Thetia and maybe we will be able to go to the Singing Forest, but since the temperatures will drop, it will be difficult for us to enjoy the birds that will surely not show up because of the cold".
- "From what you've seen, what did you like the most? Do you think it looks like the Eight Kingdoms?"
- "Personally, after my wife will give you her opinion, but we notice that these people are from Edios, because there are things...I don't really know how to describe it, we are totally disorientated, but at the same time I feel like I am at home".
- "I couldn't agree more. In addition, the inhabitants are very open-minded and they told us that they don't notice foreigners, since we look alike".
Our teams continued to follow the Horn family during their stay on the Empire of Thetia, and smiles were the order of the day. Stars full of eyes, it was still time to return to Edios because work was calling. She vowed to come back, but this time in the summer, to enjoy the sea, the beaches and new excursions.
"In our next report, we will take you on the tracks of the royal family of Rilan, headed by Mrs. Cordelia Payne (Of Rilan)".
░ The Azure Castle, Ashton, The Kingdom of Kestle, Edios ░ Thursday, June 25, 1243 ░ At 2.13 pm THETIA KESTLE Cries of pain were echoing inside the castle of the Duke of Ashton. A woman in her early thirties sits on a chair with servants, her husband, and her close friends around her. Her husband was impatient, eager to meet his future offspring. Finally, the screams subsided, giving way to a baby's cries. The maids hurried to clean the child and take care of the mother. They cleaned her and helped her to lie in her bed. She was exhausted. Several minutes passed before the servants returned with her child, tied in swaddling clothes. One of the black-haired maids gently placed the child in her mistress' arms. Everyone stepped forward to take a closer look, and most importantly, everyone was anxious to know if it was a girl or a boy. - "So?"asked the husband in a hasty tone.
░ The Azure Castle, Ashton, The Kingdom of Kestle, Edios ░ Monday, June 25, 1246 ░ At 7:14 pm THETIA KESTLE The last three years have been intense and emotional for the Kestle family, as well as the royal family. The children had grown up well, a little too fast for the parents' liking. Lowis was now eight years old. The little angel was just 1.5 meters tall; his hair was getting longer and longer and he refused to let the servants cut it off. At the age of six, as with all noble and bourgeois children, it was the beginning of education. Lowis had Pierre-Marie Sylvestre appointed as his tutor. He was a man in his thirties, with black curly hair, a face marked by time and eyes sparkling with passion. He was originally from the Kingdom of Duaples, located in the South of Edios. He was one of the best tutors in his country, and it was King Harlan VI who recommended him to Hughes. This man was strict but never c
░ The Azure Castle, Ashton, Kestle Kingdom, Edios░ Tuesday, August 10, 1248░ At 10:10 amTHETIA KESTLEI was with Lowis in the library of the castle, watching him draw and I had fun copying exactly what he was doing.He was really good at drawing, I was a bit jealous because I didn't really know how to do the things that Father and Mother asked me to do. However, the most surprising thing was that I was never reprimanded, even if I didn't meet their expectations, unlike Jane. When she was with her tutor, for example, and Father decided to join them with me behind him, the atmosphere was constantly heavy and everyone was shouting and arguing. Whenever that happened, I would slip away without anyone noticing and only come back when the tension had subsided.- "Brother, I can't do what you're doing!"I said in a pained expression- "It's normal, you're still little Theti
░ The Azure Castle, Ashton, Kestle Kingdom, Edios░ Thursday, September 17, 1248░ At 3:17 pmTHETIA KESTLEAngela and Keith had been living with us for less than a month and everything was going well. I loved learning with them, they had a strong culture about the world as well as books, which interested me the most. What I liked the most was that they took the time to explain everything to me in the smallest and most detailed way, even if it could take hours or even days. According to Angela, it was very rare for a child to start learning before he was six, if not seven, and I was only five. Keith constantly reminded me to cherish my intelligence and maturity because only a few children were able to process and assimilate theses or math methods so quickly. One day, I overheard my two tutors talking to my parents and telling them that I was a prodigy and that later on, many families would send them requests to
░ The Azure Castle, Ashton, Royaume Kestle, Edios░ Friday, September 18, 1248░ 10:36 amTHETIA 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
░ The Azure Castle, Ashton, Royaume Kestle, Edios░ Sunday, September 20, 1248░ 12:45 pmTHETIA KESTLEFor the past two days, I kept thinking about the conversation I had had with Keith. 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
░ The Library of the Peak, Beddon, The Kingdom Kestle, Edios░ Wednesday, January 4, 1251░ 11:20 amTHETIA KESTLE- "Today I plan to talk about a new concept after jealousy, envy, perseverance and perfection. 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
