░ The Azure Castle, Ashton, The Kestle Kingdom, Edios░ Thursday, January 11, 1258░ At 4:15 pmTHETIA KESTLESince last week, the Imperial family of Acora was on a diplomatic trip to Edios. They had arrived through the Azure Port in the south of my parents' Kingdom, and were greeted by the Emperor and his family, as well as the other four Dukes of Edios: my father, Amos Of Pellerisey, Alois Arberel and Claud Of Knightford. Upon his arrival, Emperor Cheng Lee was taken to the Hornsey capital to discuss diplomatic, political and commercial matters. As for his wife, Kang Yoona, it was the Empress and the women of the Dukes who took care to welcome him with dignity. Finally, Oriane, Archie and Harlan VII had the task of taking care of the imperial children, with the aim of making friends, which could facilitate relations between the two Empires.Historically, although Edios was known as the nation of renewal, it was primarily a nation known for its conquests. All the greatest conquerors

░ The Azure Castle, Ashton, The Kestle Kingdom, Edios░ Thursday, January 11, 1258░ At 5:15 pmTHETIA KESTLEThe Emperor and Empress had arrived this morning around nine o'clock with the Dukes and Harlan VI, and their children had arrived in the afternoon. The two sisters, their guards and servants, were waiting at the entrance of the castle to escort the guests to the hall. After introductions were made, they gave them a tour of their home, both the exterior with the gardens, the training grounds and the stables, and the interior with the library and the guest quarters. When they entered the library, Angela and Keith were working. Thetia's tutors greeted them after several years of not seeing each other. Yong explained to the two Kestles that Angela had once taught at the Imperial Academy in Acora and had been invited to a scholarly summit with the Emperor during his visit.Once the visit was over, the children moved to the lounge and the maids brought out the mignardises and cups o

░ The Royal Palace, Marnes, the Duchy of Amboise Auberjonois, Duaples░ Monday, February 04, 1258░ At 10:15 amTHETIA KESTLEAs I was sleeping peacefully, the sun's rays struck my face. When I woke up, I was a bit confused, because I didn't recognize the room I was in. At about ten o'clock in the evening the day before, I docked at the Port du Soleil, located in the north of the Duchy of the De Guignes Family. This was the first time I had left Edios alone. Apparently, Father and Mother had taken me when I was born, but of course I had no memory of that. I wasn't really alone, since my guard had accompanied me. Also, since I was visiting Marie Anastasie, her personal guard would constantly accompany us wherever we went. It was her who had invited me to spend a few days with her for the winter break.At the moment, it wasn't snowing, so I was disappointed. It was quite rare that it snowed on Edios, so when I received letters from Marie Anastasie, where she described the fabulous lands

░ The Gallery restaurant, Vorannes, the Duchy Of Guignes, Duaples░ Monday, February 04, 1258░ At 1:30 pmTHETIA KESTLEAt noon, I had lunch in a famous restaurant in the center of Vorannes, called The Gallery. It had been opened within the last month, but all the nobility was jostling for the opportunity to eat there. I had no difficulty in getting a place, since it was Marie Anastasie who had reserved for me. So, I let you imagine if the waiter had refused to take the reservation of the Princess of Duaples. He would probably have been fired. Beforehand, I had warned her that, if it wasn't possible to get a table, I would have gone to eat somewhere else. However, Marie had insisted and, stubborn as she was, I couldn't get her to listen to reason.The interior of the restaurant was more than sublime. There were paintings hanging on every wall. In every corner of the restaurant, plants had been installed and surrounded statues and sculptures. I could see why the restaurant was named T

░ The Palace Marie, Vorannes, the Duchy of De Guignes, Duaples░ Monday, February 4, 1258░ At 2:45 p.m.THETIA KESTLEFew words were exchanged during the short ride to the castle of the former Duke Olivier De Guignes. The butler had given me a blanket, because the weather was quite cool. Every time we passed a monument or an important place, he explained its meaning to me. Tim was a very friendly person, who managed to put me at ease and reassure me about meeting a family member I had never heard of before. In fact, I had never asked too many questions about my grandparents. My parents never talked about them or mentioned them. The only information the Kestle and Vassethier children knew was that they had passed away before Lowis arrived. However, it wasn't just my maternal grandparents that I had never met, my paternal grandparents as well. As it was, neither Lowis, Jane nor I knew anything about it. It was a big taboo subject in the family.- "We have just arrived, Miss," the butle

░ The Palace Marie, Vorannes, the Duchy of De Guignes, Duaples░ Monday, February 4, 1258░ At 4:15 p.m.THETIA KESTLEHe got up and walked towards the painting of his sister, which was hanging above the fireplace. He had explained to me that he often meditated in front of this painting. Sometimes he felt like he could hear the sound of her voice, so he would ask her for advice from time to time. The first thing he told me in front of this painting was that it was the last representation of his living sister. It was painted a few days before she left for Edios to marry Harlan V."Why did you object to this engagement? Although I am young and one day I will have to get married, I hope that attitudes will change and that parents will stop interfering in their children's love lives. I consider that marriage is a sacred commitment between two individuals who love each other, and not a political tool to perpetuate a lineage of only noble blood or to bring together several families or sever

░ The Azure Castle, Ashton, The Kestle Kingdom, Edios░ Unknown date░ Around 10:00 pmTHETIA KESTLEOne night when the full moon was watching the residents of the Azure Castle, two mysterious figures had crept into the garden. Only the light of the moon allowed them to see where they were going. They had arranged to meet in secret. No one knew about it, not the owners of the castle, not the soldiers making their daily rounds and not the servants who were in their personal quarters resting.A young boy was walking cautiously on the freshly cut grass of this morning. He had shed his soldier's garb for clothes that were less restrictive and much lighter to wear. Nevertheless, he still had his sword at his side in case things got out of hand. This boy, only a few years older than Thetia, was what could be described as a promising swordsmanship talent. The term prodigy did not fit his current abilities, especially since for a person specializing in swordplay to be called a prodigy meant t

░ 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
