THETIA KESTLE
On our way back from our trip to Breddon with Angela, a servant came to meet me with a letter signed with the King's seal. She gave it to me but I did not feel like opening it directly, I wanted to wait for my family to be with me. The same maid took me to the dining room, where the other members were. As for Angela, she told me that she was going to take a rest.
- "Dear Thetia Kestle. You are invited to Prince Harlan VII Vassethier's cake party on Friday, January 11 at 2:15 pm. A Royal Family carriage will be sent to you to ensure your trip is as smooth as possible. Please accept, Miss Thetia Kestle, my most respectful greetings. On behalf of His Majesty King Harlan VI Vassethier".

I am Thetia Kestle, daughter of Duke Hughes Kestle of Duchess Mary Vassethier".- "The pleasure is mine Miss Kestle, I thank you for accepting my invitation. I am Prince Harlan VII Vassethier. I hope with all my heart that you will have a wonderful time this afternoon. But please, sit down".I did as he said and sat down. I noticed that he was looking me up and down very attentively. Not knowing what to do because of the stress, I started to play with my fingers, waiting for him to ask me a question to fill the silence. I didn't dare to look him in the eye, for fear of appearing rude. Suddenly, I heard him laughing softly.-"Don't be so nervous Miss, everything is going to be fine. I invited you to the cas

░ The Azure Castle, Ashton, The Kingdom Kestle, Edios░ Monday, March 13, 1251░ 12.26 pmTHETIA KESTLEIt had been two months since my afternoon with the Crown Prince. We had exchanged several letters in the meantime, and in one of them I learned that our study session had to be postponed to this month, because a new conflict had erupted in their kingdom, and the King had gone with his son to settle the problem. I thought that father would also have to leave, since he was the leader of the royal army of the King of Edios, but apparently the situation would not get out of hand and the King would be able to fight back against any attacks. Just before he left, Harlan VII had written me a nice letter, full of thoughtfulness and prose. Since he didn't know how long he would be gone, he tried to ask his father if he could visit me in Ashton once. However, the King refused his request, as he had no idea how future eve

░ The Azure Castle, Ashton, The Kingdom Kestle, Edios░ Wednesday, March 15, 1251░ At 3:40 pmTHETIA KESTLETwo days after my sister's jealousy tantrum, I still hadn't spoken to her and neither had she. Our parents were exasperated by our behavior, but I warned them that it wasn't my place to apologize, but rather my terrible, jealous sister's. Knowing her, she was far too prideful to come and apologize, so she would never do it.She would wait a few days, a few weeks for the matter to settle down and come back as if nothing had happened.Today I received two sad news. First, Angela and Keith were going back to Hiviro for a while to see their family and friends. They really deserved a break, as they had been working diligently for three years to ensure that I would have the right culture for later on. I had heard rumors that the King was putting a lot of pressure on them to get my educat

░ The Azure Castle, Ashton, The Kingdom of Kestle, Edios░ Wednesday, June 30, 1255░ At 10:15 amTHETIA KESTLEFour years had passed. I had been twelve years old for five days. I had only four years left before I reached adulthood, before I was engaged to a man I didn't know, with whom I would have nothing in common, who would surely not help me blossom and make me smile every day. Most marriages in the nobility were marriages of interest, mostly political. For example, Angela had told me that the King and Queen met for the first time, two days before their wedding. Fortunately for them, they quickly found common ground and mutual, sincere interests to truly love each other. One could also refer to my uncle, Hezekiah Kestle. He had married Fabiana Di Angelli so he could get revenge on my father. He used her and was used by her, without perhaps even realizing it, too blinded by his illusion of revenge and jealou

You are open, your enemy could take advantage of this opening to stab you with his sword, injure you or kill you!"my father kept shouting.It had been a week since I started my sword training, and the only thing I could say was that it was very hard, much harder than I thought. My father was one of the strongest knights Edios had ever known, few people had ever won against him in a fight. He even proudly admitted to me that the King had lost a friendly duel against him when they were younger.Nevertheless, for a beginner, I thought I was doing pretty well. I received many compliments from the other knights. No one expected a twelve-year-old girl to be able to handle a sword so easily. My father insinuated that it was norm

░ The Azure Castle, Ashton, The Kingdom of Kestle, Edios░ Monday, July 12, 1255░ At 3:00 pmTHETIA KESTLESince my brother had returned for the summer vacations, we had spent the last four days together. The morning after he arrived, he asked me to follow him to his workshop, which Mother and Father had built for him while he was in Dracoris. It was located in one of the castle's towers, at the top to be precise. It was Lowis who wanted it to be high up, so that he could practice painting and drawing landscapes. He asked me to sit in a certain way, and for several hours, which in the end began to be interminable, he painted me in the quietest silence. I didn't dare to speak to him because of his concentrated look. It was very difficult not to be able to move for many hours, but I knew that the final result was going to be breathtaking. Once finished, he refused to show it to me. He wanted to add a few more tou

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. They had been ordered directly by King Harlan VI, that they were forb

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
