00:11As a vampire, time should have meant nothing.
00:14But over 4,000 days of darkness is enough to drive even the most elegant noble man.
00:19My skin has turned a translucent pale from extreme bloodthirst.
00:23The silver suppresses most of my power, leaving me unable to move.
00:28Until I met her.
00:29Rumor had it that the Earl of Blackwood once had a lost daughter.
00:33After she disappeared, the Countess, overwhelmed by grief, adopted another girl to fill the void.
00:39Half a year ago, when the Blackwoods finally found their true heir, Evelyn, and sent someone to fetch her from
00:45the countryside.
00:46Their carriage stopped here for a brief moment.
00:49Her red eyes collided with mine as I opened them in the darkness.
00:53Give me something to eat, or let me drain your blood.
00:58Evelyn handed over half a piece of black bread.
01:01You think I'm a beggar?
01:03I want what they have.
01:05I pointed at the roasted chicken in the coachman's hand nearby.
01:08I haven't entered the manor yet.
01:10The Blackwoods don't keep idle hands.
01:12This is my own ration.
01:14The Blackwood family was wealthy enough to rival nations.
01:18A few years ago, at a banquet in the Earl's Domain, I had seen the adopted daughter, Chloe.
01:24At that time, the Countess had wept publicly, lamenting her agonizing longing for her lost child.
01:30But now, the only food his biological daughter has is black bread.
01:35You are a lady!
01:36Have some dignity!
01:37The maid struck the black bread away harshly.
01:40Eating such filth brings shame to this house!
01:44This bump here isn't even fit to be Miss Chloe's cat!
01:47The Earl and Countess knew where she was three years ago.
01:49They didn't fetch her because she looked filthy.
01:51If not for a marriage alliance, who'd bother fetching an orphan from the stables?
01:55She reeks of mature.
01:56Even silk can't wash off the stench of the gutter.
01:59Evelyn clutched her sleeves tightly.
02:06Horsey.
02:08Want to see them punished.
02:11Evelyn froze.
02:12The earth around the coffin exploded.
02:14Several vines with poisonous thorns burst from the ground.
02:18Coiled around the ankles of the three servants.
02:21Shall I go faster?
02:23The vines spun wild, and screams and retching echoed across the wilderness.
02:28Evelyn's tears turned to laughter.
02:31What is your name?
02:35When I've saved enough money, I'll find the best priest to grant you eternal rest.
02:41The holy silver spike has me pinned.
02:43Just live.
02:44All I ever wanted was to live.
02:47Don't waste your breath.
02:49I'll come back for you.
02:51But she didn't return for half a year.
02:53Then she appeared once again in the storm-swept wilderness.
02:56She looked terrible thinner.
02:58Drenched in mud.
02:59Wearing nothing but a tattered rag of a dress.
03:04The sacred silver spike has trapped your soul.
03:07To be free, a life must be traded for a life.
03:11I stole this blood-placked from the convent.
03:13If you agree, I will give my life to you.
