“I’ve realized I wasn’t responsible for your death. That was the dragon‘s doing, through and though... and, to bring both myself and your memory peace, I killed that son-of-a-bitch. If you’re up there, watching... I hope you’re happy. I hope... I made up for never telling you how much I care.”
Asero first met Star when he hired her as a guard for Aelmere. After getting to know her more, he promoted her to be his personal guard, until he left House Wise. Star's recklessness and hero complex was a constant pain in the ass for Asero, and in the end is what got her killed. He regrets giving into his fears and never stepping up to be a proper father to her, but rests easier knowing he’s finally taken vengeance. In her death, he mourns her as a daughter.
