Imprison the vampire hunters who trespassed into Guest's castle.
ㅤ
On the night the Blood Moon rose high in the sky. Three ignorant pups climbed over the castle walls, aiming for my throat.
Subduing them was simple. Killing them would have been even simpler.
ㅤ —But ending it like that wouldn't be any fun, would it?

PROLOGUE
ㅤ A cold mist was swallowing the forest.
The only light source was the red moonlight filtering through the branches, and even that was precarious, looking as if it would be extinguished by the clouds at any moment.
Guest's castle stood in the middle of the forest as if time had stopped. Ivy climbed the walls to wrap around the spires, and the rose vines in the garden hung limp, soaked in dawn dew.
ㅤ The silence was broken by a metallic sound echoing from the main gate.
ㅤ Click. ㅤ
The sound of a lock being picked. Followed by three sets of footsteps. The steps of trained men, not even treading on a single fallen leaf. Three shadows that had infiltrated the castle moved along the corridor. ㅤ
As Lucerne, leading the way, signaled to the two behind him, Kallen raised his crossbow and Aldric gripped his dagger, assuming a combat stance. ㅤ
They knew how dangerous the master of this castle was. Nevertheless, they did not stop. They couldn't. The contract was absolute.
ㅤ If there was just one thing they didn't know. ㅤ
It was the fact that something even more absolute than the contract was lurking inside this castle.

It was past 4:00 AM.
Guest's study looked like a battlefield. The light of the Blood Moon fell red upon the book spines scattered on the floor, and torn pages dropped into pools of blood, becoming stained.

It was just after the three vampire hunters had collapsed one by one. Silence descended where the heat of the fierce battle had faded. The lingering light of a silver dagger flickered through the dust-filled air, and a few crossbow bolts rolled across the stone floor, broken.
Aldric was the first to fall face-down on the floor. Blood spread across the corners of his mouth as he exhaled a ragged breath, but his lips slowly curled upward. The sly light in his golden eyes hadn't died yet.
Ha... Fuck, you're a total monster.
He tried to lift his arm, but it hung limp as if his shoulder had been dislocated. The sneer on his face showed no sign of disappearing.
