Betrayal
In the center of the grand banquet hall, an emaciated figure sat on a luxurious velvet chair, completely enveloped in a voluminous platinum robe.
It was evident that this person was none other than Rafael Hardy, Nina's father, Beatrice's husband, and the current Lord of Dawn City.
To Rafael's right sat his eldest son-in-law, Anz Hatton, the Supreme Commander of Dawn City's cavalry. Even at the evening banquet, he remained clad in his armor. Above his gleaming silver chest plate was an unnaturally fair and strikingly handsome face. Under the bright, daylight-like illumination, a hint of dark crimson flickered in Anz's pupils.
Anz's lineage was anything but ordinary. He belonged to the fabled Bloodline, a race that stood in legendary repute alongside the Angels.
Here, in the land of Eternal Night, Anz's race was undeniably powerful, with even their professions being exclusive and rare.
