░ 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 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 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 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
░ Empire of Thetia░ Sunday, June 23, 2019L'HEBDOMADAIRE : Culturen°9620Letter from the Empress Odessa KestleDear ThetiansI hope everything is going well in your lives. 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
░ Empire of Thetia░ Sunday, June 23, 2019L'HEBDOMADAIRE : Culturen°9620MOVIE SECTION"You Smell Like a Dead Rose" by Allan Pham adapted by Tom French into a serieThe latest bestseller of the famous writer Allan Pham will be adapted by the well-known film director and producer Tom French. 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 Imperial Palace, Thetia, Midona, Empire of Thetia░ Monday, June 24, 2019░ At 7.59 pmODESSA KESTLEOnly one-minute left. 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
