The Queen of Wales had just received a call from her daughter, saying that she and Yang Chen, together with a complete entourage of 'Zero', landed and were on the way.
The closer they were the more tense she became...
Would they accept it? Would Yang Chen explode in wrath?
She could only face the consequences of her actions, but she wouldn't back down.
...
'Catherine'
The Queen had been combing her hair when she received his message...
'God, not now!' How much she had wanted to bear his voice in the last days, but not now!
'L-Love, is something wrong?' She imagined he was still enraged and didn't expect him to contact her first.
'I don't know... Is there? Aren't you hungry or could it be that you finally decided to drink blood from someone else?' He could feel her apprehension even from the distance...
Catherine bit her lips tightly to the point they almost bled. Of course, she was starving! But how could she say it?
'Not yet, I can do for a few days, no, another two days, I can manage for another two days!' She said hurriedly, one day to explain, another to settle and then go away! A few more days without his blood? Fuck that!
'Another day? Why would you want to wait another day, Catherine? Listen, I won't force you to drink... But you must understand that you're no longer human. This is necessary...'
She smiled lightly in happiness at his consideration, 'I know love, thank you for understanding, I love you with my life~ And I'm sorry... For disappointing you, but I promise I will work hard! I will definitely become a complete Nosferatu!'
Alucard sighed but a smile covered his face, only for a brief moment, he noticed his other draculine walking towards him before she straddled his lap as her full butt rested on his crotch.
The Count lifted an eyebrow at her behaviour but Alcina then moved his shirt aside with delicacy and sank her fangs into his neck, sucking his blood.
'Sorry Master, but upon remembering that 'stew'...' She explained and received an understanding nod from her Master who caressed her head in pity.
'Very well, I'll be going there tonight Catherine.' He said and prepared to leave for his car once Alcina stopped but...
'No! Don't come!' Catherine's mind technically spoke by itself as she forgot to not 'send' that thought through the 'network'
'...'
Alcina's eyes opened flashing in red but sweat started to run down her forehead once she felt her master's ominous presence expanding and contracting in space...
'Is he there now...' His cold voice asked Catherine, and the Queen naturally sensed it with apprehension!
'They are coming. My daughter and him! please trust me, I'll settle everything myself!' She tried to reason with him, making him trust her.
'...'
'Love, trust me. I'll just let everything be as clear as water...'
'Very well, Draculine, I'll leave it on your care... But if I ever know-'
'Nothing will happen, I promise! I'll contact you when it's done and we will spend the best night ever!' She would prepare a lot of things for him, some nice lingerie, some honey~ It would be his best night yet!
'I'll solve this by myself!' She thought with determination, once this was over, there would be no more guilt.

Alucard sighed and finished his contact with Catherine.
"Alcina, tell Ruoxi that something important came up and I won't be able to go with her now, but I'll pick her up tomorrow afternoon."
"Master, should I go?" Alcina sighed and asked.
"You can catch up to me if you want." Having said that, his body disappeared as he 'walked' back to Buckingham.
Would he leave his woman to reunite with her ex 'owner' without him being there? He would have lived for more than a millennium in vain if he did!
He trusted Catherine, a vampire female that tasted his blood would never be able to betray him, and even if she did, it would be for his sake... But he didn't trust that Hades bastard!

Alcina walked to the parking lot where Lin Ruoxi waited for Alucard impatiently, it had already been a few minutes.
Upon seeing Alcina, Ruoxi knew something happened.
Alcina neared the Lambo's window and crouched down nearly her whole body just to look at it.
"Lady Lin, my master has an urgent matter to attend to and won't be able to go with you now. He said he would pick you up tomorrow afternoon if you're okay with it. He also said that you could take the car if you wanted~" having delivered the message Alcina turned her heels to depart.
Lin Ruoxi's mood soured right at that moment... But then she caught up with some of her words!
"Wait! Why do you call him master!? Is that some kind of play?" Who was that woman exactly?
"Who knows?~" Alcina only snickered and walked back.
When the countess got inside the building, her body disappeared, consumed by the shadows as she followed her master, even if one step at a time...
