"She must have been a wonderful woman," Madeline had often wondered how Lucy had turned different compared to the rest of her family members who were conniving, while she was humble. Now she understood it was because Lucy had been brought up in another person's shadow who wasn't related to Lucy's family.
"She was," agreed Lucy with a smile. After a few seconds, the vampiress said, "So are you, milady. Forgive me for my words beforehand. People might perceive you to be...ignorant, but I think you are amazing the way you are because they don't know you." There was a hint of admiration in Lucy's eyes for Madeline, and Madeline didn't know how to receive the generous compliment, and she smiled.
"You too, Lady Lucy."
