"So, this is really the body of the almighty Dracula?" Seito asked.
"It seems to be." said Chris.
"But why did he looks just like Itsuki? This can't be just a coincidence right?" Seito asked.
"That's an interesting opinion." said Chris.
"Chris, I'm just curious, what is actually happened 11 years ago, Sky never let me knows." Seito asked.
"Then what make you think I'll tell you?" said Chris.
"Ehm… you can have Marumaru with you at the plane when we back to Japan." said Seito.
"Alright, although I can't tell you the full detail but…"

Chapter 23 – What Exactly Happened 11 Years Ago!
11 years ago.
"Hey Chris, have you heard that the body of the Ancient Vampire Vlad III Dracula had gone missing?" said Sky.
"Yeah, have seen that notice from The Alliance Official Quest Board." said Chris.
"Rumours said that the body is one of the precious 'collection' of the leader of the 'Trinity' from the 'Kingdom'." said Sky.
"You mean that legendary 'Kingdom'? Interesting…" Chris asked.
"Want to accept the quest?" said Sky.
"Nope, don't really want to get involved with that 'Kingdom." said Chris.
"Yeah, it is certainly not something we want to mess with."
That's what they said but what happened next is certainly not anything they will expect...
The next day, they received a mysterious sealed letter with a golden emblem on it, they carefully open the letter, and without knowing it, they found themselves in the middle of a big chaos, they are surrounded by dead bodies and their body are covered with blood as if they have just experienced a fierce battle.
"Where is this place?" Sky asked.
"From this weak and dull aura, we are probably at a Null Dimension." said Chris.
"What is happening right now? Why are we even here?" Sky asked.
"I don't know." said Chris.
"Weird…Ah! Chris! You are injured!" said Sky.
"I do realize it, not a big deal, let's walk around, maybe we can get a clue of what happened." said Chris.
"Okay… wait a sec…Why do you sound like a boss?" Sky asked.
"Because I am." said Chris.
"I thought I was supposed to be your superior." said Sky.
"You 'was'…" said Chris.
"Chris…you are so mean…" said Sky.
"Shh…I heard something…" said Chris as he get alerted all the sudden.
Suddenly, some small portals appear in the air, many little ugly green creatures came out of the portal.
"Those are goblins! What are they doing in this Null Dimension? They are not supposed to…" said Sky.
"I don't think we have time for this, they look super aggressive." said Chris.
"Yeah, let's get serious." said Sky.
Later, all the goblins had been eliminated leaving the duos badly wounded. Chris looks at all the dead bodies around them, most of them are little children…
"I do hear them said… Dracula, right?" said Chris with a rather weak voice.
"Yea…"
"I swear… I will get my hand on that…Dracula…"…

Back to present.
"Then, we did some investigation and found out, someone spread the rumors of the bloodline of Dracula, they said, the bloodline of that ancient vampire master had been born in this Null Dimension, so in order to prevent the revival of the evil vampire master, all the 'justice' people from every dimension, especially for the Gospeler who had a rather disturbing plan towards that 'bloodline' thus resulting them to run some weird ritual testing to every boy that has the similar age as the bloodline. Usually, due to the special nature of the Null Dimension, a normal dimensional portal cannot be used here except for dimensional connectors but the Gospeler used some 'special method' and caused a serious dimensional link outbreak. Some low lives take the opportunity to sneak in through this rare occasion of the outbreak of dimensional link...Thus caused more damage." said Chris.
"So, that's the reason…my mother died because of this?" Seito asked.
Chris nodded.
"Wait! Does that mean… Itsuki is that Bloodline of Dracula?" Seito asked.
"I don't know. But I wouldn't reject that possibility." said Chris.
"And that's why he gets targeted by all the assassin and killer?" Seito asked.
"I don't think that's the reason, still remember when does Itsuki's parents get killed?" said Chris.
"When he is ten years old…Ah!... Then why is he gets targeted by the killers?" Seito asked.
"I'm not sure about it, but I think his butler is a bit suspicious." said Chris.
"Mr. Shuiichi?"
"Yes… Uhm, Yuki, you have been quite quiet since just now, are you alright?" Chris asked.
"…(*whispering at herself*)…Ah…Look at those well build muscle…What a sexy dead body…" said Yuki as she appreciating the dead body in the coffin.
"Uh…" Chris softly patted Seito's shoulder as a sign of empathy.
