In the place where darkness ruled. This place was the dwelling of the vampires. They live here where the sky was always dark with two red moons.
The land was vast and wide, and it looked as if it was stretching to no end. Most of the lands had no trees or greenery making their existence a rare thing in this kind of place or accurately, this kind of world.
This place is Darknot, another dimension hidden from the real world that not many know about as the owner made sure of that.
And in this dimension, the vampires had created their own country and kingdom.
. . . . . .
In the country of vampires, at the mansion of the Blu family.
In the living room.
John`s father was there sipping on a glass of fresh blood as if it was wine clearly enjoying the taste which was apparent from his satisfied expression, but soon that mood was disturbed by someone.
One of his subordinates appeared out of nowhere.
"What is it this time?" The middle-aged man said in an uninterested tone as he swirled the blood in the glass slowly.
"We managed to put our hands on an information that may interest you, my lord." The man clad in all black attire said as he knelt on the floor.
"Speak."
"Yes. Regarding the person named Arthur Vane, we found that he had ties with the Rains, my lord."
Hearing the name of the man and what followed, John`s father`s eyes glowed faintly in a dangerous way while his aura leaked for a second making the man kneeling in front of him feel the air being sucked out of his lungs before going back to normal.
"What took you so long to get such information to me? I thought that you had killed him."
"We just wanted to make sure, my lord."
"So, you are sure of this?"
"Completely, my lord."
The middle-aged man smiled as the gleam in his eyes became clear while his pupils slitted, he was interest.
"What ties he has with the Rains?"
"From what we gathered, he is the lover or partner of their youngest daughter, Ava Rains. We saw her drinking blood from his neck directly."
The middle-aged man hummed a little as he nodded slightly. To vampires, the act of drinking from the neck is only for lovers or married partners as it’s considered an intimate act.
Normally, if you wanted to feed your slaved, you just get them blood bags or let them drink from an animal.
"But he is a human, right?"
"Yes, my lord. Until that incident with the young master."
"What happened?"
"After we managed to retrieve the young master`s body, we sent of us after him for a kill but we didn`t expect to find the youngest daughter of the Rains already there. We didn`t want any kind of conflict so we observed."
"And what did you see?"
"We saw her turning him into a vampire, but the shock was what came after. He had a beating heart, my lord."
Silence.
No voice, no sound echoed in the room as the middle-aged man who heard that was shocked.
Then after a second, that shocked expression disappeared and instead a bloody suffocating aura descended on the person kneeling in front of him.
"You knew of this from the beginning and didn`t tell me?!"
"We...wanted to...Agh!...make sure it`s accurate." The man said with difficulty as the pressure was crushing him.
It was so heavy like mountain.
But then as it appeared, it disappeared in the next second.
"Cough! Cough! We...followed him everyday until we were sure of what one of us had observed." He said with sweat dripping from his forehead and eyes that always looked down.
From the beginning, he didn’t look up at the monarch sitting on the couch at all, always looking down while delivering his report.
"You are dismissed."
Once he heard that, he immediately disappeared like air in the same way he appeared before leaving the middle-aged man all alone.
But then the door to the living room opened and a man with black hair and blood-red eyes walked inside, anger and bloodthirst was etched on his face.
"Father, I want my revenge on that fucking bastard! I will make him wish for death before I grant it!" It was John, the eldest and the young master of the Blu family, and the son of this middle-aged man.
John was in disheveled state as still some of his wounds hadn’t healed yet.
"What got you out of bed?" But despite his son`s outrage, the father was calm, so calm in an eerie way.
"I can`t just lay down in bed waiting for wounds to heal while that bastard is out there alive and walking. I.Want.Him.Dead!"
But his father was silent looking at his son`s angry expression.
Before he was so angry that some unknown bastard dared to attack his son and injure him to this point, but the anger wasn’t for his son, it was because someone defied the noble Blu family, one of the ancient families of the vampire race.
To him this was insolence, and utter disrespect, especially when it came from a mere human.
"John, your father is not in the mood to listen to you, go back to your room and rest well. Your wounds still haven`t healed, yet." Then from behind him, came the elegant voice of a mature woman.
Her beauty was like honey, so sweet but like a flower with thorns, so dangerous.
And hearing her voice, John immediately shuddered and cowered.
"Butــــ"
"You heard what I said, right?" John trembled again and didn’t dare look at her in the eyes.
"Yes." Then he excused himself and walked back to his room like the ’obedient’ son he was.
After that, the woman closed the doors before looking back at the middle-aged man was so calm through it all.
"Alfred." The woman said.
"Oh, Terra, good to see you back."
"And it`s not good to see you at all." Terra said with a mix of scorn and indifference.
She sat on the couch opposite him with quite the elegance of a noble woman before crossing her right leg over the left one emphasizing her thick thighs.
After all, she wasn’t wearing a dress, but a tight jeans and fit white shirt.
Her body itself was like a work of art, an hourglass with all curves in all right places with some taking more than others in certain areas.
"Blunt as always." Alred said with a smile on his face as his eyes devoured her enchanting figure without a shred of modesty, not even trying to hide it.
"So, what brought my lovely wife here~"
"Stop it with that disgusting tone. I only came for my daughter." The woman said with a frown of disgust as she tucked a strand of her dark purple hair behind her ears.
"Kares? What does she want?" Alfred asked with confusion as he knew that his daughter never demanded anything at all from him and always depended on herself.
"Ugh, don`t say her name with your filthy mouth." This made Alfred smile more making Terra want to go away immediately from this place.
"She is interested in someone." She continued.
"A man?"
"It seems so."
"Love interest or business interest?"
"Don`t know, maybe both, she just wanted you know, that`s it."
Alfred fell silent for a second before he said. "Did she tell you the name?"
And to this Terra shook her head.
"That`s it, I`m going." As she said so, she stood up and walked out without giving him a glance with her enchanting blue eyes that looked like the sparkling ocean.
While Alfred. The man had his eyes gleaming dangerously as if he was going to murder someone right now.
"So, my daughter is interested in someone, and it`s a man. Hehehe let`s see which bastard dared to make my daughter that interested in him." An eerie laugh echoed that sent shivers down the spine.

While on the other side, Arthur was in his mansion meeting with someone he hadn’t met for a long time.
"Long time no see, Arthy~"
