Feedback: Yes
Licorus still remembered when his little brother, Eduardus, was disowned. In fact, he'll never forget it. When he went to sleep one night, he had two strict but loving parents, two little sisters and a little brother. When he woke up the next morning, his parents were stoic and he had two sisters. None of them knew what happened to Eduardus, and their parents wouldn't tell them.
It might sound clichéd, but Licorus felt as if he had a hole in his heart where Eduardus had once been. His little brother had always looked up to Licorus, and he felt as if he had let Eduardus down.
He watched his sisters cling to each other as the result of the tragedy. He vowed silently that he would do everything he could to protect them. He might have failed where Eduardus was concerned, but he wouldn't fail Hester and Alexia.
