However, even though being the Blood Clan Leader is not a desirable position, many within the blood clan covet it. Only the Blood Clan Leader can meet the Blood Ancestor and uncover more secrets of the blood clan. As for Monroe, she wishes for her child to compete for the title of Blood Child, hoping that once her child becomes the Blood Clan Leader, she can free her parents from the blood clan's forbidden grounds.
Monroe's parents are, in fact, the true masters of Weytings Castle, while Count Smithan is merely their steward. Although he is also a member of the blood clan, Monroe's parents do not wish to be part of it and do not want their child to be born into this world as a member of the blood clan. Thus, they have refrained from having children for many years. Monroe's birth can be considered an accident.
For centuries, Monroe's parents have deliberately avoided the various conflicts within the blood clan. However, sometimes one cannot escape the whirlpool; its allure can draw you in from afar. Fifty years ago, during a transition of leadership for the Blood Clan Leader, all high-ranking members of the blood clan were invited to celebrate. Monroe's mother caught the eye of the current Clan Leader. With Monroe's striking beauty, it was no surprise that her mother was equally captivating. Moreover, Monroe's mother's bloodline was exceptionally strong, classified among the highest ranks within the blood clan.
Since the moment he laid eyes on Monroe's mother, the current Blood Clan Leader has sought to possess her and have her bear his children. The combination of their powerful bloodlines would produce a strong offspring, allowing him to rightfully bestow the title of Blood Child upon his son. To obtain Monroe's mother, he first needed to eliminate her father. The Blood Clan Leader began undermining him through various means, but Monroe's father was an old vampire with formidable strength and managed to escape danger several times.
Eventually, they uncovered the Clan Leader's schemes and became more cautious. Yet in a clan, the position of Clan Leader is difficult to shake off; when a Clan Leader targets you, you may evade him temporarily but cannot escape indefinitely. Ultimately, during an outing, Monroe's father was ambushed and barely managed to return to the castle alive.
After Monroe's father was injured, they realized the gravity of their situation. Although members of the blood clan are immortal, there are countless ways to kill them. The Clan Leader merely wanted Monroe's mother to bear him children; if she could not conceive, perhaps this turmoil could be resolved. After much deliberation, Monroe's mother decided to have one child and then take medication to ensure she would never bear children again.
Thus, Monroe was born. Shortly after, her mother took the medicine and became infertile. They thought this would put an end to their troubles; however, upon learning of this development, the Blood Clan Leader flew into a rage and imprisoned Monroe’s parents in the forbidden grounds under baseless charges.
To escape the clutches of the Blood Clan Leader, Monroe had no choice but to publicly claim that she was Count Smithan’s daughter. For twenty-two years she lived peacefully under this guise as she grew up with revenge burning in her heart. Yet she knew that with her current strength, avenging her parents was impossible.
In time, Monroe devised a comprehensive plan for revenge: if she could bear a son and ensure he became a Blood Child, then when he ascended as the next Blood Clan Leader, she could unlock the forbidden grounds and free her parents—revenge would soon follow.
