Chapter Text
“Oh dear the Great Vampire King who rules the Vampire Kingdom, I did not acknowledge that was your beloved brother. Therefore, I am begging for your mercy, your highness!”
Choi Youngsoo was a feared vampire hunter. Most of the vampires know her name; know how skilled she is. She always succeeded in eliminating the bad vampires who have the intention to kill humans during nights. But now, she is on her knees with two vampire butlers beside her. Begging to be freed in front of the Vampire King because of her error whereas she had mistaken the Vampire King’s brother as one of those human predator vampires. She is not safe anymore, she thinks while gulping hard.
“I am afraid that I can not grant that wish of yours, Miss Youngsoo. Not when you had the audacity to kill my brother,” the Vampire King replies.
“It… It was an accident! I will do anything!” Youngsoo then answers, tone desperate. “I will even give you my male offspring to atone for my sin if you want to!”
The Vampire King is impressed at the offer. Grinning, he says, “Interesting, you indeed killed a male from our party after all.” Youngsoo anxiously watches the Vampire King drumming his finger on his throne. Heart beating faster each second. Her eyes never leave the Vampire King’s figure, seeming in the middle of considering what she had said.
Time keeps going. Youngsoo is getting more anxious as the Vampire King finally opens his mouth after somewhat feels like century when in fact it was not even an hour.
“Very well then, I will accept your offer,” responds the Vampire King. “We shall meet the boy once he has reached the age of eighteen, because that is the time where human’s blood would be rich in taste.”
Youngsoo almost could not hide her tears. She is grateful that there is a big chance she will be released. She was about to show her gratitude until the Vampire King spoke up again.
“But under two conditions; our kingdom will watch over your generation to ensure whether any of them will actually bear a male child or not. Then once they do, we shall bring him here and make him our twins’ bride.”
Youngsoo’s eyes widened at the statement. Becoming a human bride for the vampires is equal to getting killed slowly. The human bride would be the vampires’ blood supply; they would drink their blood until their bride died. Youngsoo thought the Vampire King would just slaughter them immediately, but turned out she was wrong. It is painful for her to imagine how her male descendant would have to get his blood sucked every day rather than get sucked once but in full force so he would never face it again.
“Now, Miss Youngsoo,” Youngsoo snaps her head at the time the Vampire King called her name. “You shall lift your right hand and make the vow.”
It is a critical situation, Youngsoo knows. But she is not able to waste more time or else the Vampire King would get more irritated, maybe even go berserk at her. Making her leave no choice but to not think properly; she is getting dizzy with her own decision.
“I-” Youngsoo notices she is not in the safe place to be groggy and indecisive the moment the Vampire King is practically boring his eyes on her, so Youngsoo lifts her hand and begins to vow.
“I… I, Choi Youngsoo, solemnly declare that, will sacrifice our male descendant to the Great Vampire King, Vincent, in order to atone for my sin under the great Vampire King’s brother name; Matthew.”
Vincent—the Vampire King—claps his hands once Youngsoo has finished her sentence despite the nervous look she had on her face and mouths;
“Fantastic.”
