░ The Imperial Palace, Thetia, Midona, Empire of Thetia ░ Friday, June 21, 2019 ░ At 10:34 am ODESSA KESTLE It was the first time since Alex's birth that I was able to rest and start my work a little later. I was alone in the palace. Well, if you take away the 600 employees who were working there at the moment. While I was reading Allan Pham's latest novel, "You Smell Like a Dead Rose," there was a knock on my office door. My butler, Kurt, walked into the room, greeted me, and told me why he had come. Kurt was a 46-year-old man who had been working at the palace since my sacrament. He had quickly worked his way up the ranks and was now the chief butler of the Imperial Palace. - "Excuse me for disturbing you, Madam, but it will soon be time to leave for the Council of Kings. I would also like to remind you that afterwards, you will have lunch with your mother. Then to fi

░ The restaurant le Joyau, Walden, Midona, Empire of Thetia░ Friday, June 21, 2019░ At 1:12 pmODESSA KESTLEThe restaurant Le Joyau was located on the top three floors of a skyscraper owned by businesswoman Susan Bramer. She was currently the CEO of Youtube, a streaming platform imported from Edios. She was one of the few people who were able to leave the Empire to bring information and technology back to the Empire, so that one day we could reveal ourselves and be ready to deal with any consequences. On Edios, she had worked at Youtube headquarters as Director of Data Sciences. When she came back to Thetia, she had gained in maturity, experience, and knowledge, and it is thanks to these, as well as a team of computer scientists, engineers, web designers and so on, that she managed to recreate this network in 2008. In the beginning, it was not much used. Then, as more and more young

This week's letter will surely be one of the most important I have had to write. A lot has happened lately, and I have had time to think about possible plans for the future of the empire and the ascension to the throne of my daughter Rilla. I plan to wait until she finishes her studies and having her agreement before transferring the power to her. As you know, her majority birthday is coming soon, and already she will have to make a speech and attempt to accomplish her first goal. As with all previous Empresses, she will have a limited amount of time to fulfil it.On the morning of Friday, June 21, I chaired the Council of Kings and Queen

On a trip to Thetia, he accepted our interview invitation to talk to us about his next TV series."How did the idea of making a series about this book come to you?"-“At the beginning, I didn't think at all about making a series but a movie. Then, after reading the book over and over, I told myself that a simple film would ruin all the work my friend Allan had put into writing it. Moreover, I was very inspired and if I wanted to put everything in, the film would have lasted three hours. I

The camera operators and technicians were working on small details to avoid a technical problem, a sound engineer was testing my microphone, and translators were preparing to transcribe everything I was going to say. There were four of them today: two typing on the computer and transcribing my words on the spot, and two more who were memorizing them.- "We're on air in 30 seconds!"I did some exercises to warm up my voice and relax. Millions of people would listen to me and scrutinize my every move. I had no right to make mistakes, and even less in what I was going to tell them.- "It starts in 3, 2, 1 it's on!"As with every intervention I made live, the imperial anthem was played before I appeared. This hymn had

░ The Imperial Palace, Thetia, Midona, Empire of Thetia░ Wednesday, June 26, 2019░ At 8:08 pmODESSA KESTLETwo days had passed since my speech on the opening of our borders and the revelation of the world of the Eight Kingdoms. The number of newspaper articles I read was innumerable. It was interesting to see and analyze several points of view about the news. Several polls were created on social networks to find out if the population was for or against my choice. Adding up all the ones I saw, I would say that 80% were in favour and 20% against. It was interesting to observe that of the 80% in favour, 70% were people under 40 years of age, therefore teenagers and young adults. As for the 20% against, most of them were people over 60 years old, who had gotten used to life as it is now, and above all, they didn't want it to change. The main reason? They were afraid because they could not project themselves forwa

░The Imperial Conservatory, Bradford, Rilan, Empire of Thetia░ Saturday, June 26, 2019░At 7.45 pmRILA KESTLEToday was a special day for me and for the Empire: I turned 18. This meant that I could now ascend the throne at any time, attend certain political assemblies or, like all 18-year-olds, drive and drink, even though most of them had already drunk alcohol. I was going to have two birthday parties. The first one tonight with politicians, my family, friends and several celebrities. Then I would have a more private one with only my close friends and family. We had been planning my party for over a month now. For the occasion, we rented the Imperial Conservatory, where Bess was studying. It is located in the Kingdom of Rilan in the city of Bradford. Its history was symbolic for the Empire, as it paid tribute to Thetia Kestle's husband, Elias Rilan. He was a music lover according to my history classes.

He explained to me that a guard of the Flaming Army had just handed it to him, and that it was the answer of the King of Edios, Hermon Of Knightford. I hastened to read this letter that I had been waiting for a good week. I realized that the future of the Empire was only in a piece of paper, which was in my hands. I delicately opened it by removing what seemed to be the stamp of the royal family and took out the letter.-"To Her Majesty the Empress Odessa Kestle.I received your letter and it aroused my curiosity. I did not know how to react to the announcement that another Empire has existed for nine centuries, without any

The Empire of Thetia Unknown date
░ 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

░ 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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
