Thousands of years ago, Azura was just an ordinary human. He lives in a small village with his harmonious family. Even though their life is very simple, their family is filled with love and affection.
Every day, he tends his family's goats in a green field that is a little far from the village. At that time he was only 18 years old. His face is handsome and charming.
Secretly there was a girl his age always watching him from a distance. The girl hid behind the only big tree that was there.
At first, Azura didn't realize that a girl was watching her movements. Until one day, Azura caught the girl and greeted her.
"What are you doing here?"
Her round green eyes widened in surprise, she didn't expect that this time Azura caught her. The girl didn't answer, instead she ran away leaving Azura just like that.
"Hey... Wait, what's your name?!"
The girl didn't care about Azura's screams, she kept running by lifting her long dress that hung down to the ground. Her long black hair fluttered in the wind. Azura saw the girl running towards a hill not far from there.
On the hill, there is an old castle. Making Azura even more curious, why did the girl run in that direction? He wanted to follow, but he was afraid of the rumors circulating in the village. That said if the castle is inhabited by a vampire family. The family often kidnaps residents to make them their prey.
The next day. Azura tended her goats as usual. But this time he deliberately hid behind the bushes. He wanted to know if yesterday's green-eyed girl would come back to visit him.
Sure enough, not long after he saw a girl trotting down the hill. Arriving at his usual place, he did not see the figure of the young man he was looking for, only his goats.
"Looking for me, miss?"
A voice from behind him made him flinch, he immediately turned around and found Azura there. The eyes of the two met, for a moment the earth seemed to stop turning, and both of them seemed to admire each other.
After waking up from his stupor. The girl was about to run away again. But this time Azura won't let the girl escape for the second time. He tried to block the girl's steps.
"Where are you going, miss? Didn't you come here to look for me?" Azura said still spreading her hands, trying to block the girl in front of her.
Azura stared at the girl for a moment. His pale white skin was unlike that of an ordinary human. "Are you not human?" Azura asked again plucking up courage.
The girl kept her mouth shut tightly. Then with lightning-fast movements, he managed to pass Azura. This time Azura lost again.
He glanced smiling at the back of the girl who was getting away. "Next time I'll definitely know your name, you shy girl," he said to himself.
Knock... Knock... Knock...
The sound of a knock on the door woke Azura up. His eyes blinked and he immediately looked around. Turns out it was just a dream. Dreaming about his past.
"Come in!" His orders are for people out there.
A male servant appeared to enter the room. "Sir..."
"Apparently you are."
The man who just entered earlier is named Endruw, he is Azura's personal assistant. Apart from Endrew, two other people are now tasked with overseeing the clans in different places. Meanwhile, only Azura lived in the castle.
After Vivian's death, the castle that Azura lived in seemed uninhabited. Even though things were neatly arranged, the situation in the castle became very gloomy. There are no lights, and no sunlight, everything is dark. The only light Azura likes is candles. For him, candlelight is very calming. Apart from that, Vivian also liked candles.
Every day his mind was filled with Vivian. In fact, Herra's presence did not necessarily make his longing for Vivian quenched. The girl actually incised the wound. His words were sharp and painful.
"What are you doing here?"
"Sorry sir. I just wanted to check the blood supply for you."
"I still have enough bloodstock for me, so you don't need to worry about me." Azura rose from her seat. "Oh... Have you paid for all the farm animals belonging to the residents?" He asked Endruw again.
"Yes sir."
Azura nodded. "What about the plantations? Have you paid the salaries of the farmers?"
"Already done, sir."
Azura nodded again. "Is there anything else I missed?"
"Actually, em--" Endrew hung his sentence as if hesitating to say it.
"What's wrong? Say it quickly!" Azura demanded.
"I heard that there are human-sucking vampires that are getting more and more troubling. Yesterday, two residents bled to death. And they named you as the culprit. I don't know who blew up this slanted news."
"Oh, I see?" Azura didn't seem surprised by the news she had just heard. Because he already suspected it. Since his war with the Silvester family clan. He already suspected this would happen. "Now try to find out who breathed the untrue news." He then ordered, even though he had a hunch that it was the silver eye alias Mika who did it.
Azura knows who Mika's real background is. That man was just an adopted son of the Silvester family. But more than that, he also knows a big secret about the man.
"Yes sir."
"One more thing, you have to collect evidence that I'm innocent."
"Yes sir."
Azura waved one hand in the air, inviting Endrew to back off. Then he returned to sit on his old sofa. He took a deep breath and gulped down the remaining blood in a bag that was lying not far from there.

It's true, thousands of years ago, vampires were known as creatures that suck human blood. But after a massive revolution. The whole vampire clan made a deal. This is because the human population is decreasing every day, and it can threaten the balance of the world. For this reason, it is forbidden for Vampires to hunt human blood until the human population stabilizes.
Meanwhile, the Silvester family is the most educated and genius vampire family, they can make potions that make vampires no longer thirsty for human blood, and divert plants for their new energy sources. The last few decades of the revolution they carried out finally succeeded. Now the human population is stable again.
And on the other hand, some clans persist in drinking blood, but the blood is replaced with animal blood. Even so, the vegetarian Vampire clan disliked him and always wanted to dominate the other clans. They want to make all vampire clans be the same as them. With the aim of world peace.
However, their idea was opposed by one of the clans who also had quite several followers. The clan often even hunts for human blood. And it was the rebels who eventually became the enemies of the vegetarian vampire clan. They try to kill anyone who doesn't agree with them. Including eliminating the silver eye clan. And the only silver eye vampire left is Mika.
I don't know who is now trying to make Azura a scapegoat. Even though he is a vampire who is generous and lives side by side with humans. He didn't make any trouble, even the fresh blood of the animals he drank came from livestock from the breeders he paid for. He also opened up employment opportunities by making residents around his castle as workers on his plantations.
It's no wonder that Azura finally suspects Mika. But he doesn't have any proof now. Meanwhile, other clans seem to be affected by the incitement of the Silvester family, which is now led by Mika. All the Clans want to destroy it.
"Who?!"
Azura heard a noise from outside. He has a good sense of hearing. He immediately peeked through the window to check. "He..."
