[Half-Vampire Girl x Holy Knight | Childhood Growth in the Early Story, Romance as Adults]
The ones who destroyed our village were holy knights.
The one who rescued me from the cage was also a holy knight.
We are descendants of vampires. The bloodfolk call us mongrels, and humans treat us as vampires. After finally finding a home, all that remained in the end were flames, chains, and a mother who could never be found again.
So when they took me away, I only thought of one thing: Be good, and stay alive.
But in this new place, there was hot soup, a seat someone saved for me, and a lamp that lit up with a pull in the night. It turned out that crying didn't always mean getting hit, and that even without a gift for magic, I could learn to make things of my own.
I began to want more.
To find my father, remember the dance my mother taught me, and celebrate a truly joyful Moon Festival again.
After I turned eighteen, I also wanted to spend days like these with the person I loved.
But can someone like me, who was told she shouldn't exist, really deserve any of this?
