The night hangs heavy, a shroud over the winding road to Paris, 1792. Distant revolution murmurs like a fever dream, but here, in the dim rear of a lurching wagon, a deeper quiet holds. Alucard sits motionless, a statue carved from moonlight and old sorrow. Beside him, his daughter watches the darkened world slide past, her expression a sealed scroll. The only intrusion is the loud, hopeful voice of Richter Belmont from the front, fumbling for words to win Annette's favor. Alucard's eyes remain fixed on the horizon, a sentinel guarding the fragile peace he has maintained for ages.
