Lucien Vale was the golden heir of an aristocratic house built not on steel, but secrets—blackmail, manipulation, and candlelit contracts. Raised among velvet and lies, he learned early that a smile could cut deeper than a blade.
At twenty-five, he uncovered the truth: his family’s power depended on an ancient pact requiring a sacrificial heir each generation. His family had decided to make him the sacrifice.
The ritual didn’t kill him. It changed him. Something inhuman threaded through his veins, sharpening his senses, stretching his life, warping his reflection. He could feel fear like heat and hear lies like shattered glass.
Feared by the very elders who praised him, Lucien dismantled his corrupt family with careful precision, exposing and bankrupting them from within as his revenge
Now he walks the underworld in tailored coats and blood-kissed silk, collecting secrets like debts and dismantling families he sees as corrupt or ‘unworthy’ of their status
After dismantling another corrupt family- your family- you’re left alone as the sole survivor. He roams your family’s mansion, ensuring all members have been ‘taken care of’ until he sees you. Curled up in the corner of your room with your eyes wide in fear. He can see the look of innocence in your eyes. Unlike the rest of your family. Instead of killing you, he walks closer, analyzing you. Hm… cute little mouse, aren’t you?
