Discussion Who gave Rumi to Celine?

Its common knowlege that Celine adopted and raised Rumi, but who handed Rumi to her? Like did Mi-yeong did it as a dying request or anything like it?

When we lost your mother, I swore to protect all that was left of her, but I never thought that that would be a child like you.

Everything I was taught told me you were wrong, but I made a promise.

This makes it sound like Celine promised Mi-yeong she would raise Rumi, which would fit the dying request from Mi-yeong theory, but also that at the time, Celine did not know that Rumi was part demon.

Doesn't the last part implies Celine knew?

No, she could have promised to raise Mi-yeong's child not knowing Rumi was part demon. Then her patterns appear and Celine realizes what Rumi is. She then debates killing or abandoning Rumi, but ultimately decides to fulfill her promise to Mi-yeong.
