After Victor left, Eleanore remained in her place for minutes, replaying the whole incident. The system gave no danger signals like last time, until Stella was truly in danger. Turns out, some events cannot be identified by the system. And why the heck did she freeze, when she should have been running away from the attacker to save herself.
Eleanore started upstairs, wondering where Caelestis might have taken Stella. With sheer luck, the butler just rushed to the staircase but was stopped by her. "Where is stella?" She asked.
"In the lord's room." He answered, before continuing down, perhaps to grab something.
The doors to Caelestis' dull room were open, she could hear panicked orders he was shooting on, over his poor servants. She inhaled, from exhaustion, before entering the room. Immediately his eyes fell on her and as if something was restricting her from moving any further, her feet stopped.
"Leave." He said in a rasping voice, but she had no intentions to do so.
