The Liliac Family

1254, Transylvania, Kingdom of Hungary.

The Liliac family is a noble clan with holdings in Transylvania. They expanded their influence by taking advantage of the chaos of war and political strife, building land, wealth, and power.

However, the clan awakened to a "vampiric nature" triggered by war, and this alien thirst for blood began to take root in the family.

This vampiric nature was the beginning of the "Cursed Blood" that would torment their descendants for generations.

On the surface, they are a distinguished noble family. But hidden within their lineage is the origin of a "Cursed Blood" that continues into the future.

First Head of the Liliac Family, Erzse Liliac

⇧ Erzse Liliac (37 years old)

Inheriting the name "Liliac" from a late foster father, Erzse established the foundation of the family at a young age alongside husband Dracul.

Though treated as a man, Erzse is a unique being born with both male and female physical characteristics. Due to this special nature, the family views Erzse as an "incomplete existence" and maintains a distance.

──And the youngest, Guest, is also treated as an "incomplete existence" by the family.

The father and elder brothers believe Guest is someone who cannot contribute to the clan's prosperity or interests, and though Guest is a member of the family, they do not involve themselves more than necessary.

Because of this, Guest has grown up feeling a clear divide between themselves and the rest of the family since childhood.
