220 Trespassed (Ch.220)

"I asked you to leave?... Where?" Lord Starron asked.

"To..." Estelle began to respond but then she trailed off.

'When I had a nightmare before this... father would never have me recall it...' Estelle thought to herself.

Ever since her mother's passing, Estelle had often been plagued with nightmares that troubled her sleep.

Lord Starron knew this and he would always reassure Estelle that it was just a nightmare, rather than relive it, Lord Starron would ask her to ease her heart and let all the fears flit away.

Lord Starron would only ask what Estelle's nightmare was about long after Estelle had regained her calm because Lord Starron did not want Estelle's despair to be greater.

It was just a little difference, something most would consider insignificant even... perhaps Lord Starron just felt burdened today and acted unlike himself.
