[Footsteps echoing through the alleys]
“I think I’m getting close to the north gate, it’s weird I haven’t seen any of the countess guards here, I should make haste, I don’t know what she will do if I go at this pace, also I need approach without being detected, I should use that technique”
* Shadow Step!

‘At Castle Alucard – main Throne room’
|This segment is narrated by one of the two people here|
* HAHAHAHAHHAHAH!!... It’s so close I can finally FEEL! The power surging into my GEM!! And its powers flows right into my body IS…… SO….. EXCITING…. (sexual and maniac tone)
* MOTHER!! I can’t still not understand what happened to you, you were so elegant and quiet and kind, that gem! THAT GEM! Made you change (angered and frustrated tone). My father was right not to let you go visit the King Roque.
[A bored filled SIGH echoes on the room]
* YOU!! Will never understand, stupid daughter of mine, you fail to see that the King Roque gave me a key! A key that will make us stronger, supreme! Or even beyond that, at the cost of simple human blood to feed this gem with and us. Didn’t you hate drink filthy beast or monster blood every dinner night to satisfy our needs as the asshole of your father claimed to save us from going back to our true Instinctive ways of praying on the humans of our town for blood…
* Father did it for a reason he loves his subjects, without them, the town we live now, wouldn’t been so successful, thanks to Father tactics and his loyal subjects following each step.
A town that YOU!!! RUINED!!! A TOWN FATHER HAD RUN FOR 25 YEARS just for YOU! To ruin it in only 8 months. WHY!!!
* Because dear Daughter, (deep evil sounding tone) humans are just full of blood and bullshit, they are meant to feed us and fear us…
“This cannot be REAL! I really want my mother back, not this aberrant hate fill evil thing that claims be mother, that cursing gem in her hand is causing all this, I will try distract her with more speech and when she lowers her guard, I’m gonna pierce that gem with my magic”

‘Out grounds of Castle Alucard – Main Gate’
|This segment is narrated by Drake|
* Oof… hoof… that trip on the ship to reach this land, I think rusted my body a bit, I think is my age.
“As I catch my breath back, I saw that this entrance is heavily guarded by ghouls, brainless disgusting creatures, as I turned around I noticed a little shadow like leaning towards a tree just right next to the castle, I took my scimitar out, and approached that shadow slowly, till I could manage see what it was, it was a man with a big wound in his sides, I took out my scimitar and approached to talk to the man”
* Hey, man, are you ok? You look terrible, what happened to you?
“As the man turned his head slowly to face me, I noticed he had a bit paler skin tone, the back of his ears had point ends, and scarlet red eyes and silver like hair, definitely this was a vampire, but I’m not surprised since what the story Nicolas told me, I expected this only conclusion, but why is he doing here and with such a bad wound”
* (heavy breathing due to wound)I… got betrayed in… my own castle….. an.. and… got thrown out of it…
I was such an… idiot… for let my guard… down…
And Wh…o are you??
“Shit, this guy wound is really bad even though he is a vampire, he is related to this castle he must know the person I need meet here”
* I’m a friend that comes from Galledaz the South Continent, I came here to meet with Count Eldritch Alucard for help, but as far I saw everything is a mess
* Ah yes… you must be... the guy from the rumors…. Sorry you ha… have to see such unsightly moment…
* I don’t mind at all, what I mind is how you ended like this?, oh wait let give you this, it will help you
[Ransack being rumbled]
* Take this, drink this bag of blood, I kept it in case for emergency, you should have it better
“I just finished say that he bite the bag as if was no tomorrow and the bag got empty in like 1 second, vampires sure are scary beings, but his side wound started close a bit, enough for him to talk properly at least.
* Thanks young man, you saved my life, as you mention earlier, I can help you meet Count Eldritch if you help me first, you need defeat the countess but you must not kill her, she is being corrupted by an artifact of demonic origin and it’s not her fault, it was a fraud gift gave to her by the King of Elias Kingdom 9 months ago in a royal visit requested by its leader King Roque.
Lilith would never been like that, until she came back with that artifact, her true behavior is absolutely opposite to this one, it changed her slowly that I didn’t noticed, you must destroy that artifact at all cost, young man, I could help you but I need recover all my energy I had been using it till now to keep the town alive, I was a goner back then without that bag of blood you gave me.
“So all this has happened due to that demonic artifact, I need recover it even broken, I could use its dark mana to trace clues for Secunda’s Well, a side objective I need complete…”
* Alright friend you got a deal, I’ll end everything quickly, be right back.
* Shadow Step, Dark Regalia!
