I reckon during the time Hildegard disappeared in the war, either Elkin or his parents saved her and nursed, and that's why she finds his eyes familiar. Perhaps the parents died in a horrible way and so hildegard repressed the memories, or maybe she was found with them and after being "rescued" the kings men burnt them because it couldnt be known that northerners helped the sun knight?
