░ The Imperial Academy, Hornsey, The Vassethier Kingdom, Edios░ Wednesday, January 24,1257░ At 12:30 pmTHETIA KESTLEIt had been three hours now since the youngest Kestle had been in the office of the Headmaster of the Imperial Academy, Count Patrick Jones-Rutherwan. His family had been vassals of the Imperial family for generations now. Before he was the Headmaster, he had studied at this school, and had started as a teacher. Then, he was hired by important families to become the tutor of their children. He worked as a tutor for twenty years before returning to the Academy as a teacher. Eventually, he rose through the ranks and ended his career as the Headmaster of the most prestigious school in Edios.He, who had taught many children of various intellectual abilities, was surprised to learn through his assistant that the young Thetia Kestle, the one who is at the heart of the gossip of the King's cou

░ The Azure Castle, Ashton, The Kestle Kingdom, Edios░ Monday, February 19, 1257░ At 9:20 amTHETIA KESTLEThese last few years were difficult for me. Despite my alliance with my uncle Hezekiah, Thetia's popularity was still intact, as if all the effort I had put into destroying her had done nothing. For example, I had tried to make her out to be a thief, a liar and a bully on the lower class, but nothing worked. On the contrary, a year ago, a wave of hatred was unleashed on me and for a long time, I couldn't even attend the balls, the cake party. I had to stay cooped up within four walls all day, while my sister was having fun. I felt like she didn't even realize what I was doing to her. No matter what I did to her, I felt like fate would protect her forever. It wasn't fair... why could anything good happen to me? What did I do to deserve all this? Even the behavior of my so-called friends had changed drastic

░ Everster, The Kestle Kingdom, Edios░ Tuesday, April 24, 1257░ At 6:20 pmTHETIA KESTLEThe big day had finally arrived: it was my birthday! I was finally a sixteen-year-old adult. For the occasion, I had organized a party to celebrate it, since one did not turn sixteen every day. I had obviously invited my family, the Imperial family, the families of the Duchies and people I used to attend regularly at balls or closed circles to which I belonged. In total, there must have been approximately one hundred guests. Since the beginning of the year, I had been busy organizing it and deciding what I was going to wear, not to mention my gifts. Despite the pressure Hezekiah was putting on me to succeed in destroying my sister, I decided to put this agreement aside, to at least enjoy my birthday. However, Hezekiah must not have appreciated this action on my part, because a few days before my sixteenth birthday, I recei

░ The Azure Castle, Ashton, The Kestle Kingdom, Edios░ Thursday, April 26, 1257░ At 10:15 amTHETIA KESTLEOn this sunny morning, the Kestle estate was still asleep. Two days after Jane's birthday party, the Duke and Duchess had stayed behind to oversee the dismantling of the belongings and ensure the safe return of the guests. Lowis, had returned to Dracoris with his fiancée, Ana Sofía, who was more than happy to have met her future husband's family. Duchess Mary had been especially warm and welcoming, which made her less anxious during the evening. Ana Sofía had had the opportunity to chat with Jane and Thetia, and, she now understood, why it was said that the two were the perfect opposites, they were. Lowis may have apologized, and even though she didn't know the whole story about the relationship between him and Jane, it wasn't hard to notice that his attitude changed when he talked to Thetia, and when he talked to Jane. Everyone could see it. Still, she had fun and was able to

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
