i hope estelle somehow takes in the kid and he ends up like her personal wizard or something. that'd be cute....... i feel like his hair and eyes are distinct enough that he'll be relevant later on...
Poor Estelle. She thought her dad was going to turn into her mom. Her dad who infact
Took her from the abuse. Bathed, clothed her, gave her the noble's life, cherishes her, has guards around her 24/7, gives her so many permissions, made her the sunshine. Would turn around and beat her.
Oh, my poor little baby girl Estelle. You have gone through so much.
@Emilysara
No kidding, right? That's how much of a trauma it was for her. Even though he did so much for her, her fear took over her reasoning and she feared for the worse. It will take much longer before she is truly healed.
Also, I love Iris. Excellent choice for your avatar
Interestingly enough, the whole recurring abuse PTSD thing is part of the reason that some of the darker elements of the story (or the big flags that things are about to get much darker in the future) don't seem as jarring to me as they'd feel if some other cute/fluffy series took that turn.
aahh Illial is honestly so pure. poor child just wanted to return her kindness. and he gave her a bird's feather something that he just picked up because he literally has nothing
and she gave him a pair of gloves. i know he'll remember her kindness forever. maybe someday he'll be free from those old men? and then they'll meet again? i do hope he'll be free in the future
