Tristan gets separated from his parents when the Kingdom of Krois is destroyed by the Emperor Clive (Juclecia's father). His mother (Ladrinne Morei Rune Sirat) escapes back to Sirat thinking her husband and child died, and it's unknown what happens to his father. Young Tristan somehow ends up in the garden at Ecritian Palace and meets Estell, who reveals her true, loveable tomboy personality when with him. For a short and peaceful time, Juclecia and Tristan plays with Estell in the old garden. This gets Tristan out of the long depression of loosing his family and home.
