The war against those vampires was still ongoing.

I sighed to myself.
I don't have enough proof to understand Lucia's reason for not getting adopted. And even if I did ask the said person about the word family, she would often hold a sad face.
...I couldn't bear to see that painful look on her.
So I kept quiet on asking her about it. But when I think back on it...Lucia hasn't been adopted and from what I recall.
Lucia stated these words. "I don't remember being anywhere else other than living in the orphanage and going to church with Headmistress Catherine."
'Was it possible?' I wondered to myself. 'The way Lucia said it...it sounded like she was placed in the orphanage since she was a baby.'
...The more I think about it, the more my head hurts.
I should get some sleep.
