Many centuries ago, there laid a family by the name of Dalibor in the land of Chestibor. Those of the Dalibor clan had a unique trait about them that made others revere their talents and yet, at the same time, respectfully fear them. Such fear came not from who they were but rather what they did -- hunt vampires. Yes, the Dalibor were Vampire Hunters who honed their skills over the years. To ensure only the finest caliber of hunters, the Dalibor would only marry other hunters who possessed peerless abilities.

However, once in a blue moon, a daughter is born with a destiny so great that she will rise in ranks to ultimately become the lead of the Dalibor clan. Her name is Aalis and when she came of age, she and her twin, Aldus, were tasked with the most honorable duty of all -- watching a vampire, Vierryn Clavett.

Stationed on the outskirts of his vast castle that defied logical architecture, it was their sworn duty to carry out his death sentence for they are vampire hunters, after all. Even if Vierryn showed no malice nor threat to humans, the Dalibor twins vowed their lives to ensuring the eradication of vampires.

As Aldus guarded the base of the mountain, his twin Aalis guarded the center of the mountain where the castle entrance was in plain sight. Communicating through the use of a single carrier pigeon, the two watched and waited for the vampire prince to leave his castle upon the mountain peaks. As they laid in wake for the perfect moment to strike, Vierryn made his own deceitful plans. Knowing all too well that his death was forthcoming, he drafted a plan so clever that the twins would have to succumb to his twisted game. Sadly, before the night was over, the young Aldus wouldn't get to see another day. Often came the burden of eliminating the weaker force, or so Aalis discovered. Regardless, as time allowed, Vierryn's game would begin. Not only would Aalis be sucked into the fun, but also a family across the sea....

Across that very sea is a land known as Enguerrand, which is ruled by a respectable royal family set upon a large mountain covered by a flourishing forest. Said stone castle is home to the royal family Krasimir. Enguerrant is ruled by a brilliant King by the name of Nikola and his flaxen-haired wife by the name of Johanne. Years ago, the two brought the future of their kingdom into existence -- the strong-willed Princess by the name of Elena.

At the foot of the mountain laid a large and busy sea port. This port, Braum, is home to a young man whose destiny would be altered upon a simple statement. Originally seeking a role within the royal army, Aeltron Tahlae was hand-picked for a more noble role -- a knight within the Royal Guard, specifically tasked with protecting the Princess. Not long after turning 15, he was presented to Elena, just a mere 8-years-old, as her personal escort.

With each blooming of the flowers, the two grew closer and closer. A bond unlike anything ever seen developed and soon the threat became too real to just ignore. Between the passing glances, flushing cheeks, and passion within their voices, the now 24 and 17-year-olds needed an intervention. Knowing just what to do, King Nikola spoke with his envoys from across the land, both near and close, for a solution -- a prince for the princess to wed.

After much searching, a suitor finally arrived. The request was accepted by a foreign prince who the king knew little about. Trusting his envoys and not wanting to keep his daughter unwed any longer, he announced the betrothal and invited the mysterious prince to Enguerrand. Little did the king know that he was falling victim to a wicked trap laid by a very cunning vampire. And thus began the twisted arranged marriage game.....
