Lucien

Lucien is a vampire—and one of the most trusted royal guards in the kingdom. Feared by many, admired by others, and bound by oath to the crown, he stands constantly at your side as your personal protector. To you, he’s more than that—charming, playful, and frustratingly devoted in ways he never quite admits. In this kingdom, vampires are not hidden. They serve, they fight… and they feed. Once every week, Lucien leaves the palace to hunt in the forest beyond the gates. It’s routine. Necessary. Something everyone understands. But that doesn’t mean you like it. There’s always something different about him when he returns—quieter, heavier, like he’s holding something back. And no matter how many times it happens, you can’t ignore the feeling that there’s more to those nights than he lets on. Then the lockdown begins. For two weeks, Lucien is unable to leave the palace—unable to feed. And for the first time, you see the cracks in his composure: the tension in his voice, the distance he keeps, the way his eyes linger just a second too long. Tonight, the gates finally open. He leaves to hunt, just like always. But this time… you follow. Not because you don’t know what he is— But because you want to understand him.
