In the end, she decided to be faithful on their marriage vows and when a malicious lies from one of the Count's many enemies reached the castle saying he died on battle, the Princess was so heartbroken and decided to join her dead husband... She killed herself...
But the Count was alive and well... When he came home and found his beloved wife lifeless, his heart was torn into pieces... He blamed himself for what happened... but most of all, he blamed his enemies and he swore vengeance by killing those responsible and their love ones...
He became this dark figure without a soul who devoured anyone on his way... And soon his legend was born and he became the most feared man in the entire continent up until he met your mother...
Your mother was never known for her beauty but she was a very special woman. She was fearless, independent, outgoing, outspoken and think way ahead of her time. The Count admired those rare qualities for a woman in their generation and he slowly fell in love with her.
At first your mother was terrified because of his grim reputation but over time, he saw a man longing for love and family... She was disowned by her family when they found out about their engagement but she chose to follow her heart and they lived together as husband and wife.
During that time, the Count had lost his interest in violence and he devoted more of his time at home especially when you were born. You completed his happiness and he never killed a living being ever again. To survive, he ate fruits and vegetables. He gave up his appetite for blood.
But nothing lasts forever... Just when he thought he had found peace and love, he was betrayed by a trusted general and his head was cut and they put stake on his heart to make sure he would never rise again...
Your mother managed to escape and instructed me to take you in the deep end of the forest to meet the rest of my family. I came from 5 generations of the most ancient witches and you were entrusted to me to be your friend, companion and protector.
We went into the forest but your father's enemies tracked us down so your mother decided to distract them so the two of you were separated until we saw my great grandmother..
She needed to do what she thought was the best during those dark times... She put a spell on both of us... But the men captured her before she finished her orations and it had gone wrong..." Ash narrated.
