I'Ve Been Caught By The Tyrant Traps
EP 19
After 20 days of travel, Estelle, Imbrius Einer, and Jasper finally arrived at the capital of Celestria.As they approached the Sylvan mansion, Estelle's heart raced with mixed emotions. The grand estate loomed before them, its beauty and grandeur unchanged since her departure 11 years prior
Estelle Sylvan/FL
*sighing*We're finally here
Imbrius Einer/Master
*eyes scanning the mansion* Indeed. The Sylvan estate, as grand as ever
Estelle Sylvan/FL
(As I stepped out of the carriage and onto the grand driveway, I couldn't help but feel a sense of unease. The Sylvan mansion, with its towering spires and lavish gardens, seemed to loom over me like a ghost from my past. The same grandeur that once filled me with pride and joy now felt suffocating, a reminder of the family that had abandoned me)
Estelle Sylvan/FL
* voice laced with disdain*And the same fake smiles, too
Kai/Butler
*bowing*Welcome, Lady Estelle! It's a pleasure to see you again!
Padraig Sylvan/FL 1st bro
*smiling*Sister! Long time no see! You look... well
The trio was greeted by the Head Butler, who bowed low, and Padraig, Estelle's older brother, who wore a wide smile. However, instead of warmth, Estelle felt a chill run down her spine. The overly enthusiastic welcome from the two men seemed insincere, like a thin veneer hiding ulterior motives
Estelle Sylvan/FL
*forced smile*Padraig. Head Butler. It's... good to see you too
Jasper's eyes narrowed, his gaze fixed on Padraig, his expression a clear indication of distrust. Imbrius's eyes, too, held a hint of skepticism, his face a mask of calm.
Jasper Wollter/2nd ML/FL bff
*eyes narrowing*Where is the rest of the family?
Kai/Butler
Ah, they're... indisposed. But they'll join us for dinner, of course!
Jasper Wollter/2nd ML/FL bff
*whispering to Estelle* Indisposed? More like hiding something
Estelle Sylvan/FL
*whispering back*Let's play along, for now
They exchange a skeptical look, their eyes reflecting their distrust of the overly warm welcome
As they sit down for dinner, Estella's family gazes at Estella with a mix of surprise and disdain
Jasper Wollter/2nd ML/FL bff
*eyes widen in disbelief*
Jasper Wollter/2nd ML/FL bff
Unbelievable. Not a single one of them seems to have missed her. The nerve!
Jacques Sylvan/FL dad/Duke
I never thought you'd survive this long, Estelle, especially in the North... with him *glancing at Master, feeling a mix of shock and hurt*
Imbrius Einer/Master
I hold no grudge against Estella, Jacques
Imbrius Einer/Master
She's like a daughter to me*protectively, feeling a deep affection for Estella*
Jacques Sylvan/FL dad/Duke
(How dare he! Estella is our family's shame! And now she's grown so far away from us, under his influence...)
Jacques Sylvan/FL dad/Duke
*feeling a pang of regret and hurt*
Jacques Sylvan/FL dad/Duke
Estella, you will choose a suitable noble at the lady-in-waiting party
Jacques Sylvan/FL dad/Duke
If not, I will choose for you*coldly, trying to maintain his composure*
Jasper Wollter/2nd ML/FL bff
*outraged*I can't believe your family!
Jasper Wollter/2nd ML/FL bff
You're unbelievable! I pity Estella for being born into this family,
Jasper Wollter/2nd ML/FL bff
But I'm glad she lived her life with us, not with people like you *anger and annoyance evident, feeling a deep disdain for Estella's family*
Keoua Sylvan/FL 2nd bro
* face reddens*
Padraig Sylvan/FL 1st bro
*Expression turns stony*
Jacques Sylvan/FL dad/Duke
*Eyes narrow*
all feeling hurt and angry but trying to maintain their composure
Keoua Sylvan/FL 2nd bro
We didn't treat Estella wrongly! I don't regret it! *defensively*
Jasper Wollter/2nd ML/FL bff
You don't regret abandoning your own sister? You're pathetic!*disgust and anger*
Estelle Sylvan/FL
*eyes plead with Jasper to stop*
Jasper Wollter/2nd ML/FL bff
*But continues, feeling a need to speak the truth*
Estelle Sylvan/FL
Please, Jasper, don't. It's not worth it. They're not worth it..*feeling a mix of hurt and frustration*
Estelle Sylvan/FL
Jasper, stop. Don't waste your words on unnecessary people*calmly, trying to intervene*
Keoua Sylvan/FL 2nd bro
*shouting*You're just as guilty, Estelle! You're a disgrace to our family!
Keoua Sylvan/FL 2nd bro
*anger and hurt in his voice, feeling betrayed by Estella's words*
Imbrius Einer/Master
*Glare at Keaou, their faces stern, feeling a deep disapproval for Estella's family*
Jasper Wollter/2nd ML/FL bff
*Glare at Keaou, their faces stern, feeling a deep disapproval for Estella's family*
Jacques Sylvan/FL dad/Duke
Enough! Let's eat in silence. Estella will soon get married and leave our lives*coldly*
Estelle Sylvan/FL
*Feeling a mix of hurt and resignation*
The dinner continues in tense silence, Estella's father's words hanging in the air, hurting Estella but she remains silent, feeling a deep sadness and regret

Don't waste your time on such dumb people Estelle you have people who loves and is willing to protect you now, so cut your ties with the Sylvan immediately and go back to the north and accept his offer to be your father
