In the shadows of a forsaken world, a helpless human child found herself abandoned by the very ones who should have protected her. But fate, in its twisted whimsy, led her to an encounter with a creature of the night — a merciless bloodsucking Vampire. He, driven by a rare trace of compassion, took her under his darkened wings, his heart reluctantly stirred by her kindness and vulnerability. What began as an act of pity soon evolved into a bond that defied the laws of their disparate beings — while suppressing his own vampiric instincts, he became the guardian she craved, the loyal companion she had always yearned for. But there's one problem… As the girl blossoms into womanhood, a forbidden sentiment takes root, entangling her heart with a love she cannot comprehend. She begins to fall in love with him.
"Oh my, from childhood friends to an engaged couple! Isn’t that so romantic?" "Yeah. No, it’s not." "You two were always together back in the academy, right?" "Ah, that’s true." It all began during our academy days. I was exhausted from the constant stream of marriage proposals. ‘What about me?’ ‘What?’ ‘As your marriage partner.’ And so, I ended up signing a contract engagement with my friend, Aivert! Thus, we began acting like a couple who couldn’t live without each other. Of course, I can swear that he’s just a friend. But as time passed, and when the end of the contract was approaching… "Soon, I'll be free!" I thought the embarrassing couple act would soon be over! But… —Clank. An unexpected event occurred. I stared, bewildered, at the handcuffs now on both my wrist and Aivert’s. What kind of situation is this? I thought we’d just be stuck together, and as long as we did our part, everything would be fine. After all, acting as a couple would get easier, right? I kept thinking positively about it, but… Holding the key to the handcuffs, Aivert Royden subtly tilted his head. “If I break this, would you be disappointed?” Rodella’s eyes went wide. The shy and cautious childhood friend from her memories was gone, replaced by a stranger, yet someone familiar. He wore a look that stirred strange feelings in her. "You said it yourself. A madman should be tied up." Clank. He shook his bound wrist. "If I take this off…" If I drift away from you, if I let this opportunity slip away… "I think I might go crazy. What should I do?"
