PROLOGUE
Even though Jongwoon was a prince, there wasn’t much to do. The vampires of today are all modernized and co-exist with humans. Being a person from a royal family just meant to carry on the royal bloodline and the only thing that distinguished them from the other vampires was because of the pure blood flowing in their veins, this meant they held a higher position to the rest of their kind and were stronger but were of no means invincible.
The royal family of today had only one task to do which was capture and kill the rogue and other vampires who threaten their existence in this world. Humans are not aware of their kind, they are closer but they can’t give their identities out. All vampires are classified in terms of strength and power, and royal family keeps an eye out to all the vampires and what they are doing
The royal family rules are strict, they will spare no one, excuses aren't meant to be entertained and not even the King’s son would be spared.
If you fail your mission, you have to be punished. There’s an accessory which is more like a shackle and when you wear that, your whole body is on fire and you feel like someone is pricking you with thousands of needles all together. The pain is severe and you can’t even be in your senses, it drives you insane.
The accessory drives your power away, the inhumane strength, the ability of sight and your hearing. Everything goes away and you feel like a puppet. All your senses are pulled away except one thing which is pain.
It is easier to get tortured then to be shackled, 1 hour of that accessory feels like a whole year has passed.
The king had to show fairness and because of the so-called fairness, not even his sons were spared.
Jongwoon’s older brother had run away and Jongwoon had no choice but to face the responsibility which was shoved his way. But Jongwoon couldn't allow the same fate to be pushed to his younger sibling, as a result he begged his parents to let Ryeowook live a normal life.
His parents agreed but this burdened the poor soul who had gotten triple work to do. Jongwoon learnt very quickly, if he wasn't quick he would suffer.
He became cold and cruel but he was still the loving person and the sweetest to his close friends but that all changed 5 years ago.
Now, Jongwoon was cold, cruel and the saddest thing which his friends saw. He no longer cared about himself and he no longer put on a smile anymore.
