When he woke up in that underground chamber, his doubts resurfaced. That thing about her eyes changing colours didn't leave his mind, but he thought to give her the benefit of doubt. After all, she was his saviour…but then, just like the incident with his mother, only he received injuries back then.
The young lady was uninjured despite receiving the same attack and being thrown into the cold river during winter. Even a little child would have realized that Esther was special at that point. Not only that, during that short stay underground, she served him and treated his injuries like with the skills of a physician and an apothecary. How was she capable of so many things at a young age?
Wasn't it easy to guess if someone were to put together all the seemingly outrageous experiences they personally witnessed the 'specialness' of Esther?
