Strike The Blood Natsuki

Sebagai pria bangsawan dengan gelar ksatria pedang agung yang cukup disegani pada banyak medan pertempuran, Lorant sering menjadi bahan pembicaraan gadis-gadis bangsawan.

Tubuh atletisnya yang dipenuhi guratan luka akibat perang, justru semakin membuatnya terlihat gagah.

Tetapi Lorant justru mencintai Benca, gadis biasa yang tinggal terisolir di tepi hutan selama delapanbelas tahun. Hubungan cinta mereka menghasilkan dua orang anak kembar, Lovisa dan Edvin. Lorant tidak menyangka kisah cintanya bersama Benca merupakan awal perjuangan panjang dan pertarungan mental yang kerap membuatnya frustasi. Selain harus menghadapi kecemburuan Ivett, wanita bangsawan yang telah dijodohkan dengannya dan berusaha mati-matian untuk melenyapkan Benca dengan cara apapun, Lorant juga harus menerima kenyataan, bahwa Benca adalah putri kandung dari bibinya sendiri, seorang wanita bangsawan kelas atas penganut satanisme yang sering melakukan ritual berupa mandi darah perawan, dan telah menculik Lovisa, untuk dijadikan korban ritual. Dengan segala kemampuannya, Lorant berusaha melindungi dua wanita yang paling dicintai dalam hidupnya dari cengkraman bibi sekaligus ibu mertuanya yang haus darah.

It was not until 20 years later that they forced me to sign a share transfer agreement by my hospital bed, along with a divorce agreement that left me with nothing. "After 20 years, we finally have our happy family. You never saw this coming, did you? The child you fought so hard to give birth to is my biological son!" Even my son, without any remorse, said, "Honestly, your illness is beyond help. It'd be better for you to just die." With a knowing, almost bittersweet, smile I replied, "For your happiness, I'm willing to do whatever it takes."
