The danger and drama come to a head as Duzell and Ishtar escape from Mil Seii in the breathtaking climax of their darkest and most exciting adventure yet! Will the villainous Lassen and his evil cohorts Sharlen and Hume succeed in their quest to usurp the throne of Pheliosta from Ishtar? And what of Lailis and her former lover, Duzell? Is a romantic reunion in the cards? All the stops have been pulled out as the Mil Seii story arc concludes, and the world of Vampire Game will never be the same.

St. Phelios
A revered monarch and the Kingdom of Pheliosta's namesake. Phelios is famous for defeating the Vampire King Duzell in an epic battle that cost Phelios his life. As they died, Duzell vowed that they would meet again, leading people to believe that Phelios will be reborn into one of his heirs.

Duzell
Feared throughout the kingdom of Pheliosta, Duzell is a vicious vampire king who once slaughtered hundreds of men in a bloody battle for the kingdom. He was defeated by Phelios, but before he died he promised to return and once again face King Phelios in battle, next time emerging victorious. Now, 100 years later, he has been reborn as Princess Ishtar's pet cat.

Ishtar
A precocious princess who finds herself in the center of a century-old prophecy, Ishtar is the granddaughter of Phelios and the heir to the kingdom of Pheliosta. Although Ishtar is expected to live the life of a lady, and marry a proper suitor of royal blood, she would much rather spend her time infuriating Sir Keld and Darres by ditching her magic lessons and pretending to be a knight. It was on one such excursion that Ishtar found her pet kyawl, who just happens to be the reincarnation of the vampire king Duzell. Ishtar not only is aware of this, but is, perversely, more than willing to help Duzell in his search.

Darres
The captain of the royal guard, Darres is also Ishtar's noble, but rather dimwitted, bodyguard. Although Ishtar frustrates Darres to no end, he does care about her and deeply respects King Phelios. Perhaps Ishtar's most closely-guarded secret, however, is that she also cares deeply about Darres.

Sir Keld
Princess Ishtar's caretaker and instructor, Sir Keld may have been a great knight at one time, but he's now a laughingstock. Nicknamed the 'Old Fart' by everyone in the castle, Sir Keld, at the very least, means well.
