Okay, so, I’m thinking that even if Sylva couldn’t really visit after Amatus was 7 or so due to everything, they kept in touch
Mostly through letters - between Sylva and Amatus, and between Sylva and his caretakers - because if written vaguely enough they’d be harder to track than phone calls
(Sometimes, those letters came with pictures, so Sylva could still watch her son grow even if she couldn’t see it)
(He looked so much like Ravus)
And Sylva, she loves and she misses her son. So, she keeps all of these letters and all of the pictures and everything that she had of Amatus’ (including some of his stuffed toys and the baby clothes he outgrew and pictures he’d drawn her and little gifts he’d given to baby Luna) in a small chest hidden in her room and she takes everything out sometimes, when she wants to feel closer to him.
It’s well hidden, under false floorboards under the bed and hidden by magic, because Sylva is a paranoid soul - she would be, when two of her children are marked for strife and death - and this is Amatus’ safety and so it is as hidden as she can make it
Which is so well hidden that the chest is not found until half-a-decade after her death.
And that is only by complete accident (there was an incident and there was serious water damage and some of the walls and floors had to be stripped down and they found it then)
The chest is found, probably by Nifs, and they look inside and there are letters and pictures and a child’s things and a birth certificate for one Amatus Fitz Fleuret and the most recent letter was dated just weeks before the Manor fell and they realise that it’s likely that this child still lives
The news is all over Eos by the end of the week
