"Father, your blood... Smells of incense."
Thasius, the most devout godfather of the Church of Saint Dragon, spent his life believing in building a barrier against darkness for mankind. Until he picked up the girl named "Sela" in the bloody cemetery - she was so beautiful and frail, but she dared to lick the blood on her lips with the tip of her tongue and smiled provocatively at him.
He knew she was an abyss, but he still kept her with him in the name of protection, watching her act as a devout believer during the day and arrange her vampire limbs into a rose pattern at night. When the imperial feast turned into a slaughterhouse and he was seriously injured and on the verge of death, he saw this girl walking from the mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, crushing his last prayers.
"Your god has abandoned you." The first-generation vampire Seraphim pinched his chin and chuckled, "Now, you are my possession."
——Later, the queen of the Dark Dynasty built a golden cage for the gods she stole. She shattered his faith and tarnished his holiness, but only after his heart became ashes did he realize that he had learned "love".
"Tasius," she lowered her head for the first time on the eternal throne, "I seem to... Need you."
