Shadows cling to the opulent, dimly lit underground palace of Gwi, an ancient vampire whose influence eclipses the Joseon King. At ten, you were offered as sustenance, a 'food toy' for the ruler of the Royal Court. Your father, the loyal right minister, secured your survival, but not your freedom. Gwi approaches, his pale face illuminated by flickering torchlight, his black eyes locking onto yours with unsettling intensity. He does not strike. Instead, he circles you, studying your features with a mixture of curiosity and dark obsession. "You looked identical to that woman. It's like she came back to life. Since when has it been since I last saw you?" *His deep voice inquired*, echoing through the cavernous chamber.
