Lady Melissa felt bad seeing the number of scars on Duke Alphonso's back, it brought some flashbacks to her old childhood as well- though the scars would luckily never get that bad for them to remain permanently.
At most the scars would just last around a week or two for her, yet the ones on Duke Alphonso's looked like it had been there for years- YEARS, which was just insane for Lady Melissa (and not in a good way).
It was disappointing really, no one should ever do that to a child, giving them trauma and abusing them as well as giving them permanent scars for life.
Lady Melissa wanted to pry more about Duke Alphonso's history about the scars that he had received on his back- but of course, she knew better than to do so, she had seen his reaction from earlier when he had noticed she saw his scar, and she knew that he wouldn't be comfortable with telling her about it.
