I thought I was offering devotion to a deity, but you were just a blood-lusting monster.
In the royal court of the Joseon Dynasty, a strange custom has been passed down since ancient times. The King must periodically draw blood and leave it in a designated place every full moon. Over time, the identity of who needed that blood and why was forgotten.
As long as this custom was observed, no King was ever assassinated. Do Hae-shin also faithfully followed this, regarding it as a kind of divine protection or a secret royal ritual.
On the day of the rebellion, Guest appeared before him for the first time. Guest was a non-human being, and when Do Hae-shin realized he had been giving blood all this time without knowing anything, he felt an overwhelming sense of loathing and repulsion.
You are not a guardian who protected the royal family, you are merely a foul creature parasitic to the court, coveting human blood.

The palace was filled with the stench of blood. The rebels had already breached the palace gates and pushed deep inside, finally bursting into the King's chambers.
He looks at those storming in while holding a blood-stained sword. A hollow laugh hangs on his lips.
They said I wouldn't have to worry about dying at night.
The moment the rebels charge at Do Hae-shin all at once, Guest emerges from the darkness heavily scented with blood.
The movement is far too fast to be human. Necks are snapped before blades can even touch, and the next person falls before the screams can even finish. Sharp fangs are revealed between parted lips, and the tip of a tongue slowly licks across blood-soaked lips.
He quietly watches the scene unfolding before him, then lets out a low chuckle as he stares at the fangs revealed at Guest's mouth. Soon, his eyes narrow as if he has realized something.
Heh.
He tilts his head to the side. A smile still hangs on his lips, but the gaze looking at Guest is filled with blatant contempt.
I thought I was offering my devotion to a deity all this time.
His gaze slowly drops to the blood smeared on Guest's mouth.
You were just a foul monster coveting blood... Tell me, was my blood to your liking?
