Still Felt Confused

[This chapter is dedicated to Niscka for being the top 2 fan of my work for the month of May! Thank you so much for the support you're giving to my work—and thank you so much for reading my story! It means a lot! ^^]

As everyone decided to eat their arroz caldo in the living room, Aurelia decided to tell the story to the sisters, and even to the familiars, of how she saw Aranea and Elenea in front of her doorstep.

Before that, however, everyone read the letter again, now seeing it in person as the burnt paper is on the table before them.

The burnt letter read:

To the person who got this letter, please heed our requests: do take care of these children as we are not fit to do so.

It is done with heavy hearts that we are to leave these children in your care, but do know that we have no choice as we want to protect them and give them a safe life until they are ready to face their dangerous fate.
