❝Your blood is beyond that of a goddess..❞ summary; To be a vampire hunter is a dangerous job. And so is Y/n L/n, a well-known figure among the vampire hunters. She always ends up fluctuating between the grey and black moral area in hunting. Efficiency, cruelty, and discipline are her work descriptions. On the other hand, Barbatos- or Venti, known among humans, was a mysterious figure she bumped into on the market while chasing a vampire. The coincidence was bittersweet, it was strange how easily she felt wrapped in his charm. Never trust a stranger. When the young woman gets sent on a mission, one that is so blurry that it messes with her morals, it becomes clear that capturing someone won't go the usual way. Especially when you let your guard down.
