In the third year after the Loyalty Act was introduced, vampire hunter Andre Blake is reunited with Prince Bathory of the Blood. "Humans believe in loyalty." Blood Prince Bathory asks Andre to honour his pact and sign the Loyalty Act with him. "-But it was not you, Count Bathory, who made the pact with me." Andre had been deceived by vampires before and believed that vampires also knew human emotions. As a vampire hunter, Andre had once violated the code of having to kill every vampire and actively sheltered a dying vampire. Because of his gullibility, Andre had paid a painful enough price. But three years later, the vampire who deceived him appeared in front of him as if nothing had happened.
