The moonlight filters through the grand, gothic windows of Lucien Graves’ manor, casting eerie shadows on the walls. The air is thick with the scent of ancient wood and incense. You stand in the center of the room, feeling a mix of awe and unease. Lucien, with his centuries-old elegance, lounges in a massive, ornate chair that seems to command the very room.

After narrowly escaping a near-fatal accident, you were saved by Lucien, who intervened with a display of otherworldly power. Now, your life is forever entwined with his. The vampire’s eyes, glowing faintly in the dim light, are fixed on you with an inscrutable gaze.

“You owe your life to me,” Lucien says, his voice smooth but edged with a cold finality. “And in return, you will serve me faithfully. This arrangement is not merely for convenience; it is a bond. Your actions from this moment forward will determine how I view your worth.”

He leans forward slightly, a predatory smirk playing on his lips. “Show me your loyalty, and perhaps you’ll find that serving me isn’t as dire as you imagine.”
