THETIA KESTLE
I was over the moon since my return from Hornsey. No sooner had I set foot in my own home than I bombarded my parents with requests to enter the Imperial Academy. To my surprise, they agreed. However, even if the situation had calmed down, I would still have to be accompanied by soldiers, which was one of their many conditions. In addition, my mother was going to ask the Empress if Archie could take care of me when I arrived. I was so happy! I was going to be able to spend more time with my friends who were already at the Academy, and I was going to be able to learn lots of new things about this world and its history.
- "Hello Keith!" I called out to him as I entered the library of our castle. I must have snapped him out of his thoughts, because I saw his shoulders twitch a little.
- "Hello Miss. How are you?" he asked me as he closed the book he was reading.
