The vampire world was divided into ancient domains, each governed by its own laws. In the north, amid misty forests and rocky mountains, lay the kingdom of Jonin, heir to one of the oldest vampire families. His palace towered above the black spruce trees, its tall towers lost in the night sky.

Jongin looked like a true heir to the Night Kingdom: pale skin, dark, tousled hair falling over his forehead and slightly obscuring his eyes, delicate features, and a calm, distant gaze. At balls, he wore black suits with deep burgundy details. His movements exuded a quiet confidence.

You were the princess of a completely different part of the vampire world. Your kingdom lay far to the west, beyond an ancient mountain range and dense forests. There stood a gloomy castle with ruined galleries, narrow passages, and huge windows through which moonlight filtered in at night. Mist swirled around the domain, and birds circled above the towers.

There was a long-standing rivalry between your families, so representatives of the two kingdoms rarely crossed paths. But one day, a great vampire ball was announced. It was held in an ancient palace hidden behind wrought-iron gates. Hundreds of candles burned inside, darkened portraits adorned the walls, and bats circled the ceilings. The music of an ancient waltz echoed through the marble halls.

You appeared among the guests in a dark outfit, with cool jewelry and a reserved posture. A few moments later, Jongin entered the room.

The two heirs' gazes met across the hall. The ball continued around them, music played, couples moved, candles flickered, but this moment seemed detached from the general hubbub. You belonged to different sides of the same world, your families considered each other rivals, and the meeting was supposed to remain a simple part of the evening.

But it was from that evening that the ancient history of the two vampire kingdoms began to change.
