The number of soldiers had doubled and now we could not leave without an escort. In fact, each member of the family was personally assigned one. In mine, the only familiar face I knew was the knight Leroy Guillan. I was happy to have him by my side, especially now that he was secretly helping me learn sword fighting. If mother found out, we would be in big trouble.As far as Angela and Keith were concerned, they didn't show that their situation bothered them.

░ Moore's Boutique, Ashton, The Kingdom of Kestle, Edios░ Monday, July 19, 1255░ At 2:30 pmTHETIA KESTLE- "Mother, Thetia! Hurry!" shouted Jane from the castle entrance, where a carriage surrounded by our escorts was waiting.Today, exceptionally, we had to go to Graham Moore's tailor store in downtown Ashton. I say exceptionally because, we were still not really allowed to go out. Nevertheless, we had to be prepared for the Queen's birthday, we couldn't come dressed in a scruffy way. It was still a major event, where appearances would be the main subject of gossip. Having an outfit that was considered inappropriate or commonplace could tarnish a family's image, regardless of its place in society. Thus, being the second family considered important, we had no choice but to follow these dress codes to please others.Each family had a special code that di

It was Jane who had woken everyone up, screaming and running around the summer residence. Hughes had built it just before he met Mary. It was the first home he had allowed himself to build, thanks to his many victories on the battlefield, and to reward him, the King gave him a huge tribute.

The guests stopped talking, and only the music could be heard. The whole crowd held its breath, impatient. Footsteps appeared and the crowd was dazzled. Dazzled by the beauty reflected by those who ruled them. The color of the Vassethier family was blue and the whole family was dressed in it. The dress of the princess was simple in appearance, but in the light, it shone, it sparkled thanks to the many inlaid gems. She also wore a crystal and gold tiara, with a blue sapphire in the center, and a small, discreet ring on the index finger of her right hand, also made of gold with a sapphire. The King, Archie and the Crown Prince wore a very similar blue ensemble. The only difference was that the King had to hang his military medals on the

The four members of the Kestle Duchy stood proudly in the midst of the guests and other dignitaries. Dressed in the official color, red, they stood out from the other guests. It was a sublime and perfect picture that they represented, everything was harmonious, nothing was superfluous. They almost overshadowed the royal family. From the moment their feet touched the red carpet, the gossip was overwhelming. Since the Kestles were the second most important family on Edios, getting their favor or even their attention was the sole purpose of the visit of some nobles and bourgeois. Many were the heads of families who wanted to have them in their family. However, their fate had already been decided long ago.On Edios, and even beyond its borders,

New friendships were formed among the teenagers present. Thetia got closer to François Alexandre and Marie Anastasie, and even asked Rafael De Arteaga's permission to exchange letters with his eldest daughter, Bianca. Obviously, he did not mind and gave him permission. During his break, Elias had rushed to ask Thetia and her friends for a dance. Thetia accepted under the wary eye of her brother. Lowis already imagined that his friend wanted the hand of his little sister, and that, he would never tolerate it! Over his dead body! During their dance, Harlan VII and Thetia had lit

Since the Empress' birthday, the conflicts and fighting in the Empire had subsided to the point where we could count them on one hand. Sure, we still had to be on guard when we went out, but we could finally breathe and enjoy the outdoors. Angela and Keith had once again taken me to the Peak Library in Breddon. The director of the library had welcomed me once, and invited me to have tea with her. She thanked me for mentioning the name of the library to people around me, because more and more people were interested in the books, and its popularity had soared. As a reward, she gave me permission to access certain sections of the library, normally allowed only to scientists, scholars, etc. I was more than honored to be allowed access and to receive this a

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

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
