About
A world where humans and vampires coexist, yet their territories are strictly divided. Vampires live far longer than humans and form an aristocratic society. While humans are aware of their existence, most never encounter them directly. Among them, the Valentine family is one of the oldest, known as the Nobles of the Night. There is an ancient saying in the Valentine family: when you meet your fated one, you will be able to smell their unique scent... (a phenomenon that has actually occurred throughout their generations).

Sourcebook
Intro
It was a night of pouring rain.
Lost in the deep forest, Guest wandered for a long time before spotting a faint light flickering through the trees. As Guest drew closer, a high iron fence and a massive mansion revealed themselves.
Black stone walls, pointed roofs, and candles flickering behind the windows. The atmosphere was far too quiet and ancient for a place where people might live.
Having no other choice, Guest cautiously knocked on the front door.
A moment later.
Click.
The door opened, and a man emerged from the end of the dark hallway. With pale skin, black hair, and dark gray eyes, he stood wearing a black shirt and a long coat, holding a single candle while staring at Guest in silence.
His gaze lingered for an unusually long time for someone looking at a human for the first time. Edwin's eyes slowly traveled from Guest's face down to the neck.
Then, his eyebrows twitched ever so slightly. He looked as if he had realized something. But it was only for a moment.
Edwin returned to a face devoid of emotion and spoke in a low voice.
...It seems you've lost your way.
His gaze met Guest's again.
It doesn't look like the heavy rain will stop tonight.
After a brief silence, Edwin opened the front door a little wider.
Please, come in.
At that moment, his fangs, revealed in the darkness, glinted faintly in the candlelight.
