Synopsis
According to legend, the vampire queen nearly destroyed the world thousands of years ago after unleashing her latent powers. Humans could not defeat her, so they sealed her away and waited for the day they would be strong enough to break the seal and kill her. But they are not the only ones after the seal. The vampire king, who abandoned his kingdom and betrayed his own race and the dhampirs, continues to search for the queen’s sealed prison so he can free her before the humans do. Fearing that the king and queen would destroy the world together once reunited, humans and dhampirs hunt the king by any means possible. (Source: Anime Source)
