Demons, evil things, bloodthirsty creatures. It's a word that you've been called countless times until you're used to it. From the Socheon era where she was born until now, for more than six hundred years, she has endured loneliness and pain. Ever since she lost all the people she loved, Kang Ye Bin was her name. And she is what modern people would call a vampire.

She certainly wasn't born this bloodthirsty demon. But what can she do now? There's nothing more she can do. Living and accepting it (even though physically she would have died because her heart stopped hundreds of years ago) as someone had told her and now this woman was drunk. Got a seat at the counter bar in a women's only club with pale skin.

With golden brown hair and bright red lips It goes well with a face that, although it looks a bit pale, looks very good. Makes it not strange at all to make many people secretly look at it with interest.

“Look, can you believe that out of all the liquor I drank? This one is the best,” the owner, Kang Ye Bin, said to the familiar face of the bartender, Ki Hee Hyun, who shook his head slowly in disbelief. Of course, from the looks of it, the person in front of him He couldn't have been more than twenty years old.

Plus, from the way he drinks like someone who doesn't know how to drink, how can she believe the words he says?

“That's enough, Yebin, like you. If you say it's the first time you've eaten it, I believe it. Look at her condition right now,” was the answer from the brewer. Gently placing the sweet but extremely strong liquid in front of her made Yebin, who was staggering in a drunken state, smile faintly. Surely she wasn't familiar with these things.

Well, there had been nothing like this before, and this was also her first awakening after falling asleep during the era when Japan ruled her country.

"I'm just not used to drinking alcohol like this," replied the bartender in a deep voice. which received laughter and a gentle shake of the other's head in return. Those who accused her of not being good at drinking raised their hands in surrender. before turning to make a drink for the beautiful woman in a white dress sitting next to her instead

“Hey, do you want to listen to a story?” she turned to the young woman in front of her. With blurred vision from the effects of all that alcohol. Whoever said vampires weren't drunk was really lying. She saw the other person smile slightly. And unfortunately, she couldn't see the other person's face clearly even though she was sitting next to him just a few centimeters away. Because alcohol is definitely dangerous.

Yebin thought to herself before starting to tell her story to the people next to her.

"It's the story of a princess who secretly fell in love with the king's concubine..." she began before slowly closing her eyes to remember the past again.

She was born during the reign of King Sejong the Great. The fourth king who invented Hangeul, she was the only daughter of Concubine Young Bin. Kang Clan of Jinju And that became her last name after that.

Lee Yebin is the name she was called. As the princess of the father King Sejong the Great was most favored. To the extent that His Majesty ordered I will never give my princess to anyone. If that person is not talented enough Yebin's childhood grew up normally as An ordinary human being, really.

Everything seemed normal until The day her father intended to welcome a new concubine.

The daughter of Defense Minister Kim Min-gyeong, that's the name that the entire palace secretly gossips about. It is said that she is extremely beautiful. It is said that she is more intelligent than any other woman. It is said that she may have risen to the position of the royal concubine's favorite. Or even the new queen

Yebin never believed those words. In fact, she didn't even care who that Kim Minkyung was. All she cared about was that no matter what, she was still the daughter of His Majesty's favorite and beloved daughter. Until finally the day of the consecration ceremony arrived. It was strange that the only place His Majesty had ordered the ceremony to be held at the palace.

Instead of being the woman's home like the other concubines And it was even more strange that he called all his children and wives together to the throne room. In order to welcome a new concubine alone, at first Yebin did not understand why he had done such a thing. But the moment she met those intense, black eyes that she swore were the most beautiful in the world, she understood.

He did this to announce to everyone that this was His new woman, this was His chosen one. And the more I heard the sweet, soft voice that said simple words like

"I pay my respects to you. Mom Kim Minkyeong It is an honor for your high-ranking majesty and the family to serve Your Majesty.” Li Yebin was even more certain. Those rumors are true. What's wrong is that Kim Minkyung's beauty cannot be described in words.

Even the word superb was not suitable for this incomparable appearance. She knew that this woman could be the mother of the land. And this woman as well who had stolen Yebin's heart from the first time he saw him Even though she knows Her love was never possible. No one could dare love the king's mistress.

Even the king's own children. But no matter how she restrains herself can't conceal the love she has for the other person And the more you run away It seemed that she was meeting this royal concubine more and more often. Whether it's at the textbook room His Majesty's private park Or even an archery range for the royal family that she liked to go to. like today

"Very good. "Princess," a sweet, resonant voice that made the listeners gasp every time came from behind, along with the sound of clapping softly enough for her to hear admiringly, making Lee Yebin, who was in the same training clothes as the princes, look like a child. A small young man who borrowed his older brother's clothes to wear rather than being a noble princess like usual.

She didn't lower the bow she was holding, instead, she picked up another arrow and shot it quickly without taking her eyes off. The owner of that sweet voice

"His skill is very impressive..."

“Stop talking to me so formally, Mingkyung hyung, I'm getting bored with all those maids of honor and eunuchs.”

"But in my position.."

“Second rank concubine like you, what status are you still afraid of? My mother is actually a first-rate concubine, but you are not inferior and cannot even be compared to a daughter like me.” The person who was the daughter of a first-rate concubine said. while handing the bow to the female guard standing beside him to keep. She took a handkerchief soaked in water that had a faint fragrance and held it up, ready to wipe it, and would probably have wiped her face if it hadn't been touched by the slender hand of the second rank concubine.

In front of this, take it first.

"You'd better let me wipe it up," the newcomer said before grabbing the rash cloth and holding it up himself. The king's woman in front of her slowly Use the cloth to gently caress the contours of that beautiful, slender face. And Yebin himself unconsciously held his breath when he smelled that unique scent and looked at those sweet eyes that seemed to sparkle all the time in such close proximity.

"but…"

"No, but in exchange I will stop speaking officially to you. Is that okay?"

"Fine, do as you please." Finally Lee Yebin is still the same person. A person who, no matter what, would always have a soft spot for the tall woman in front of her. Because no matter what the Royal Concubine Kim Minkyung wants Lee Yebin could never be offended. And she suspected that she was definitely not the only one who had fallen under the charm of that sweet face because it looked like her father had just built a new concubine palace for the woman in front of her as well.

There is a place in the palace. They called it the king's secret room. that only the king had the right to enter It was a matter that everyone in the palace knew well. But because of that, it was the place she was most curious about and wanted to go to. When she was a child, she used to secretly stand and look at the entrance where two large royal guards were always guarding the entrance.

But as she got older, she stopped going there. Probably because there was something more interesting instead, but today was the day Lee Yebin returned to this place again. But this time, she didn't come to play like a child, but because of her father's orders.

“Take Minkyung for a walk around the palace,” her father ordered before giving her a royal badge for entering and exiting every room.

“Come, Princess Concubine.” The soldiers guarding the front door bowed to her and Brother Mingkyung as soon as they saw the badge in their hands. Before opening the door for us to walk into the narrow path alone.

“What do you think is going to happen in this room?” The younger man looked for something to talk about. Because of this narrow corridor, you still have to walk for a while before reaching the main hall. As those soldiers said

“I don't know.” The second rank concubine shook her head. while turning to look around with a childish expression that made the person walking in front secretly laugh.

“Come on, it's not fun. Just guess,” said the princess' favorite daughter as she looked back. Minkyung hyung stood still for a moment. Make a thinking face with that most adorable face before replying

“Alright… there might be a demon heart that was stolen to keep.”

“How is that possible? Demons aren't real.”

“Princess, how can you be sure? Demons really don't exist.” His voice was so serious that it surprised the person being asked. Lee Yebin raised his eyebrows slightly. While the other party let out a smile before saying,

“I'm kidding you. You can put on a serious face,” he said, raising his slender, beautiful hand to squeeze her cheek before pulling it and playing with it.

“Don't squeeze your cheeks,” the person being teased said in an indistinct voice because the soft hand still hadn't released from her cheek, causing the person who was exerting their strength to laugh before they could stop.

“Let's hurry up and go. It should be here soon.” The tall man said before taking her hand in his. After that, we came to a large black door. Yebin at that time never knew that The moment she opened that door It would be the moment that her life would change completely.

Add, the sound of the door slowly moving was so loud that it pierced the ears of those who listened. And even the person who opened the door, Yebin himself, couldn't help but frown. She had imagined that in this room there might be mountains of treasure. Or maybe it was a weapon from our ancestors that was still sharp and full of destructive power?

Or a textbook that makes people live longer. or the heart of the devil Yebin continued to think before shaking his head lightly. But the scene before her completely destroyed her imagination. Because behind the wide-open door It was just an open room that looked a bit old, with the most notable item being the painting of an ancient kingdom hanging on the right wall. with old scrolls only one

“That's all.” The disappointment in his voice was so clear that the older man let out a soft laugh. The noble child turned and scowled at her. while the hand still slowly Pull out the scroll and read it.

“Be careful,” she heard Mi Young mutter softly as she picked up the old barrel.

“I don't see anything written on it. I don't know why I kept it,” said the person holding it. Because the scroll inside was empty. She couldn't understand why her ancestors would keep this useless owner.

“Let's go, Minkyung hyung,” the poor kid finally spoke up after staying in the secret room for quite some time. Princess Kiminkyung nodded. She followed the small child. while he couldn't help but glance at the object that had been accused of That uselessness again, with those unreadable eyes

It was the middle of the night, but Princess Kang Ye Bin still couldn't sleep. And it has been like this for the past week. She tossed and turned. My head is full of the same old things. Of the only woman, Kim Minkyung, who must now be called Concubine Sinbin by royal appointment, this morning.

He is the person who is always on her mind. Whether while sleeping or awake Even though each day Yebin will always tell himself. that her love will never be fulfilled but after the events that happened the day before It made every situation change. It definitely made her think harder and feel guilty.

She remembers that day she walked Brother Minkyung back to the palace like always. After walking around the city together, just the two of them, all day, Mingkyung hyung doesn't like being followed. She prefers to do everything herself. And Lee Yebin is capable enough to protect both of us. Because of this, Father allowed us to leave without any followers.

Even though she knew that her personal bodyguard would secretly follow her from a distance, after that, the concubine invited her to sit inside. Ready to order the maid of honor to bring snacks and drinks to create intoxication that is hundreds of years old. According to the older person who said it was given to her.

"Don't you dare drink it? Princess,” said a sweet voice with words that clearly challenged her. The owner of the princess title raised an eyebrow. before smiling slightly

“If I get drunk, how will I go back? You probably don't want me to sleep here, concubine.” A soft laugh was the only answer Yebin received. Before the person in front of her slowly Lifting the bottle of terrifying colored liquid, he poured it into a small glass goblet. and handed it to her

So what can younger people do? In addition to receiving that glass She slowly sipped the black liquid. He accidentally made his face distort because of the bitter taste that burned his throat. Surprisingly, this liquor did not have a pungent smell. There was only a faint fragrance that she could smell. I was surprised that the woman in front of me was able to lift it up and drink it so easily.

“Yebin-ah, have you ever heard that it is said that the blood of demons can intoxicate people?” That soft voice sounded as clear as the other person whispering next to his ear. Yebin shook his head. She had never heard of such a thing before. As for your name, demon blood That might be the name of this liquor.

“At first sip it will be bitter. But if you keep drinking it, it will be sweet.” The owner of the drink continued to speak with his eyes urging her to drink it again.

"Let's try a little more," he didn't just say. But a slender, beautiful hand holding a dangerous glass was stretched out in front of her. And Lee Yebin couldn't deny that beautiful, pleading look on her face. She swallowed slowly. and was surprised by the sweet taste. When the glass was finished, the only noticeable thing she could feel was the heat in her body. and a faint fragrance that is increasingly clear

Following the ever-dwindling distance between her and the woman she couldn't touch in front of her.

"Brother...." He didn't finish speaking. The owner of the place's hot lips pressed close to hers. And whether it was because of the taste of liquor that lingered on his soft lips. Or because of the person who gave her the kiss? Yebin was intoxicated by the sweet and gentle taste.

and burned with guilt You shouldn't do this. And you should stop Even if I tell myself a hundred times in my heart But Lee Yebin couldn't stop himself any longer. Whether it was when the other party bit down on her lips before inserting the soft tip of the tongue into the mouth Or when you put your hot hand under the wide placket of your shirt.

And when the other party slowly withdrew his lips Then he got up and took off his robe and other clothing. He left without taking his eyes off her. It made Lee Ye fly. Decided to grab the drink again. Drink it from the mouth of the bottle without using a glass. Then let yourself be burned by the heat of the liquor. and from its owner

Until the liquor wears off Or until she and the royal concubine in front of her were exhausted. By letting go of that guilt At least for now

She must have been cursed. The royal ancestors would have despised her. And of course, if Father knew about this, She would definitely be severely punished. Not only her, but Royal Concubine Minkyung would also be severely punished. Accidentally it might even lead to death. Therefore, she tried to restrain herself.

Don't let me go to the other party, but it seems so difficult. She compares Mikkyung hyung to good liquor. When you haven't tasted it yet I didn't feel any longing. But once you've tasted its flavor, She couldn't miss it again, and in the end, she found herself in the same place again. In front of a woman who could cause her death without regret at all again.

“Climb up the window again and tell me how many times do you have to be careful?” That murmur was the first thing she heard, but Yebin just ignored her and walked towards the woman in the thin nightgown in front of her.

“Will Father come tonight?” he asked while secretly clenching his teeth. The person being questioned let out a soft sigh. before shaking his head in denial

“I don't know.”

“I think I'm being cursed.” How did she say that? Lu Yebin had always felt this way. Every time I get close to Minkyung, I get a hug. She felt like the person in front of her was hers. She was happy, but also filled with guilt as a citizen. You shouldn't follow your king. And as a child, you should not take away what is your father's.

“Why?” His voice sounded colder than before. And those pitch black eyes became darker as he asked this question.

“Because I love you.” Minkyung hyung didn't even change his expression, and Lee Yebin wasn't surprised that someone so smart already knew how she felt.

“Princess, do you think loving me is a curse?” Her voice was cold but contained dissatisfaction that the king's daughter could feel. She didn't answer anything.

“I think we should have enough before it's too late.” It took a lot of effort for Yebin to say these words, this was the best way. Even though she was almost tormented to death.

“Then let's go.” It was cold, not just in his voice, but also in his expression and eyes. The person who was chased away nodded in acceptance. before walking back to the place she had come from again.

The pain as if something was burning was something she had always felt but for the past few weeks. It felt very special. Yebin lost her appetite and her complexion turned pale. And the frequent coughing up of blood made both Mother and Father worried. Even though he had called the best doctor in Joseon to treat her, her condition was getting worse and worse.

Even the royal doctors gave up. She kept telling Mother that it was okay. She'll get better soon. Even though she knew that it was a lie, Yebin knew that she would never recover. And death is not far away, which is why she cut off relations with Minkyung hyung. and accept her fate alone

It was the middle of the night and she felt the burning heat subside. Yebin slowly opened her almost forgotten eyes to see a familiar slender hand gently wiping a damp cloth over her face and neck.

“Why did you come here?” She reached out and grabbed the slender hand in front of her. Grab it and hold it while trying to get up with the other person's help.

“Don't be afraid, you'll be fine. Princess, “The visitor didn't answer the question, just changed the subject and talked about something else.

“With a condition like this, come on. I'm not afraid at all. This is just as good as what I did behind my father's back. My father told me that I was cursed.” Lee Yebin snickered. The burning sensation on her neck was getting worse, but she wasn't paying any more attention to it than the woman in front of her.

“If you were to be cursed, the other person who would be cursed would probably be me, right?”

“No, I went to the ancestor's tomb. I beg all the spirits that I alone will bear this punishment. You'll be fine.” She saw the person in front of her shake his head, the look that said he felt guilty for sending it made her surprised.

“Stupid girl, do you think doing this will help anything?” A slender hand gently touched her forehead before pulling her soft, weak body into an embrace.

“You are not cursed, you are just changing,” a voice whispered in his ear. That says what Lee Yebin didn't understand.

“Change, change to what?”

“Something dangerous and ancient is locked in that scroll.”

“I don't understand.”

“Neither do I, but I can tell you that your throat feels like it's always dry, doesn't it? It burns when you're exposed to the sun. His skin became very pale. And still coughing up blood.”

“Yes, but you…”

“Bite me.”

“You must be joking, Concubine, why would I…”

“This is the only way, Yebin. This is the only way to save you.” Before the person in front of her pulled her closer, the sweet scent still did its job just as good as before. But what was wrong was that she felt something strange. A thirst for something she had never felt before rose quickly. She felt that something within her was calling to bury the sharp fangs.

onto this white neck, and then she didn't know what she was doing. Besides tasting that sweet taste Until the small force of the other party pushed her away. Lee Yebin's consciousness returned again. She looked at the image of the fang mark on the smooth neck with an indescribable emotion as she took control of the other person.

“We have to leave here, Yebin-ah,” that sweet voice said. After some more time passed

“Where are you going? This is my house,” she said in confusion. Surely who wouldn't be confused when in a situation like this? Suddenly I don't know what I have become. who drinks other people's blood as food This is definitely not what anyone wants to be. At least you

“Safe place” and after that we ran away together. Spending a few months traveling around small villages on the outskirts of the city, Minkyung hyung taught her many things. She once asked how he knew what was wrong with her and he just smiled. But he didn't answer any more than that. Minkyung hyung likes to say that she looks better than before because of her strange golden hair.

And he always likes to secretly come and play when she's sleeping. Ye Bin can be exposed to sunlight. But she doesn't like it. So she always sleeps during the day while Minkyung hyung goes out. And then came back with some strange things. And she made her drink blood at night, which of course Kang Ye Bin (She has taken her mother's last name since leaving the palace.) I don't like it. But there is no better option than that.

It was late in the day when Ye Bin was awakened by a rather violent shaking. She opened her eyes and saw Minkyung hyung, whose clothes were covered in blood, standing with a few men wearing all black clothes.

“Yebin, listen to me. You must go with these people. In a few days, I will come look for you,” Mingkyung hyung said in a tone that couldn't hide his worry.

“No, I'm not going anywhere,” she replied, before Mingkyung hyung sent his eyes to the people in black, who slowly bowed. before walking out of the small house where we were staying

“Yebin, do you love me?” he asked while holding her face. Yebin nodded. while the person asking smiled slightly.

“Then believe me, I promise. No matter what happens, I will come to you, okay?”

“So, have they met yet?” The sweet voice of the woman next to him asked, causing Kang Yebin, who was sitting at the bar counter, to shake his head. Now that she had recovered, she could clearly see the face of the woman in white.

"No, you're not coming." She gave a small smile. Before turning to look at the woman in front of him, he picked up a drink and took a sip while smiling at the questioning expression on the other side's face.

“And what will the princess do now?”

“Do you really want to know? Sleep with me first."
