Chapter 1 Theatre

Many years ago, enjoying the night opera performed by Cecilion was the most popular form of entertainment for the people of Avalor. It was always full house at the theatre, each time this famous Opera actor performed. Everyone was attracted by his indescribable handsomeness and talent. However, the applause, love and cheers from human beings didn’t make Cecilion happy. He was a Blood Demon, and it was hard for him to open his mind to humans. He had always tried hard, to conceal his true identity and blend in with human society.

As long as Cecilion could remember, his kind had been living away from human beings. The oppression of Lord Lava against the Blood Demons meant a dark future for them. As such, some demons decided to leave the Despair Place and came to live among humans. They were eager to seek forgiveness from the God of Light, live normally and integrate into the human society. But the fact was that they not only suffered hostility from the human society, but they were also hunted by the Abyss. When Cecilion became an adult, he was the only one left amongst his kind.

In order to hide his true identity, Cecilion lived in Avalor as an Opera actor and tried to cover up all abilities and characteristics related to the Blood Demons. He was gorgeous and elegant on the stage, surrounded by thousands of passionate people. But at night, Cecilion spent his nights alone, night after night.

The lonely days continued, but that was until Cecilion made an unforgettable performance. When he went to the center of the stage to take a bow, he saw Carmilla . And this beautiful lady was looking at him too. At that moment, the two lonely souls instantly fell in love.

Although Cecilion always warned himself against having needless contact with human beings, he could not resist his love for Carmilla . So, in the face of love, he decided to follow his heart. In each of his performances, Cecilion would sing a song for Carmilla and they never ceased eye contact with each other. When talking about his past, Carmilla chose to keep it a secret. Even when Carmilla had doubts about his lifestyle, he still said nothing about it. However, they swore to be loyal to each other.

As the flames of love grew stronger, without the knowledge of others, they met more frequently. But Carmilla ’s father, Earl Ansaac knew everything about what they did. In his eyes, Earl only thought of Cecilion as a humble opera actor. He felt Carmilla should get married to a more powerful man. When this couple's love grew deeper, Earl Ansaac violently interrupted the relationship between the two, imprisoned Carmilla , sealed the Opera house and exiled Cecilion.

Soon after, there was a rumor that Earl Ansaac was about to marry off his only daughter, Carmilla , to Baron Tawil, a General of the Imperial Army. At this time, Cecilion was so tempted to knock down the guards and take Carmilla away. However, he knew that he couldn’t bring happiness to her, as she would become a fugitive on the run. After careful thought, he realized that the love between a blood demon and a human could never be true and he thought it best to give up.
