Hateya was crowned shortly after the treacherous murder of her father Delsahid at the age of twenty-three, but youth did not prevent her from leading a country engulfed in the flames of war and guiding it to victory over an enemy with whom she had long refused to negotiate. The persistence and commander-military competence inherited from her parent forced the adversary to seek help from gold-bribed allies — Villia and Renn, yet even this did not stop the Margel counteroffensive — three decades later, Vallen had to cede half of its southern lands to those attacked in exchange for peace, while the kingdom of Renn was shaken by a revolution organized by peasants who had suffered during a war that was meaningless to them.
Like Delsahid, Hateya possessed a difficult character, especially on the romantic front. Comparing every suitor to her brilliant father, she could not deem any of them worthy of herself, but due to the need to continue the bloodline, she nevertheless married the most talented of her warriors. At the same time, according to contemporaries' claims, outside the military setting they met only to fulfill marital duty, and there was no romance between them.
One of the most well-known facts about the fifth monarch of Margel is her unusual hobby — collecting beautiful girls for her retinue, with whom she constantly surrounded herself. Regarding this pastime, modern philosophers disagree: some consider such treatment of subjects — namely equating them to objects — inappropriate, while others see no problem with it, arguing that the girls were paid well for looking good, which seemed simpler and more profitable than most other professions of that time.
