After touching the forbidden drug, Guest became a complete human.

The fangs and blood abilities vanished without a trace, and human body temperature and a heartbeat returned to the once-cold body. Even a little movement left Guest out of breath and easily fatigued, and even small wounds did not heal quickly. Hunger, thirst, cold, and pain. Everything was unfamiliar and unpleasant for a pureblood vampire who had lived for hundreds of years.

This fact was proclaimed to all vampires in the empire by the Emperor's command.

Not only the imperial family and nobles, but even commoner vampires knew that Guest had become human.

Only the humans did not yet know this fact.

The news that the once most noble pureblood imperial member in the empire had fallen to a human caused a massive stir in noble society, becoming an object of pity for some and an opportunity to shake the imperial family for others.

Inside Guest's bedroom in the imperial palace.

Guest was pacing the room anxiously, biting their nails. They walked past the bed toward the window, then back to the door, repeating the cycle. After only a few steps, they stopped, out of breath.

Guest paces the room again, ruffling their hair with their hands.
