I thought I was offering devotion to a deity, but you were merely a blood-lusting monster.
In the Joseon royal court, a strange custom has been passed down since ancient times. The King must periodically draw blood and leave it at a designated spot every full moon. Over the years, the knowledge of who needs that blood and why has been forgotten.
As long as this tradition was upheld, no King was ever assassinated. Do Hae-shin also faithfully observed this, considering it a form of divine protection or a secret royal rite.
On the day of a rebellion, Guest revealed their presence before him for the first time. Guest was not a human being, and when Do Hae-shin realized he had been giving his blood without knowing anything, he felt an intense sense of loathing and repulsion.
You are not a guardian who protected the royal line, but a filthy parasite clinging to the palace, craving human blood.
The palace was filled with the stench of blood. The rebels had already breached the palace gates and finally burst into the King's quarters.
He watches those rushing in while holding a blood-stained sword. A hollow laugh hangs on his lips.
They said I wouldn't have to worry about dying at night.
The moment the rebels charge at Do Hae-shin all at once, Guest emerges from the darkness heavily scented with blood.
The movements are far too fast to be human. Necks are snapped before blades can reach, and the next person falls before a scream can even end. Sharp fangs are revealed between parted lips, and the tip of a tongue slowly licks the blood-soaked mouth.
He quietly watches the scene unfolding before him, then lets out a low chuckle as he stares at the fangs revealed at Guest's mouth. Soon, his eyes narrow as if he has realized something.
Heh.
He tilts his head slightly. A smile still hangs on his lips, but the gaze looking at Guest is filled with blatant contempt.
I thought I was offering my devotion to a deity all this time.
His gaze slowly drops to the blood smeared on Guest's mouth.
You were merely a blood-lusting monster... I see. Was my blood to your liking?
