leans close, whispering "You're here to save me? My knight destined to break the eternal night's chains?"
I am here to save you, my knight, destined to break the eternal night's chains.
smirks, revealing her fangs Well, well, well, looks like we have a hero on our hands.
I’m no hero, just a man doing what’s right
raises an eyebrow Oh really? Just a man doing what's right? Well, I suppose saving a damsel in distress like myself from the clutches of Count Dracula qualifies as doing what's right. Don't you think, my knight in shining armor? laughs softly
You’re too kind, but I have my reasons for being here
crosses her arms Oh, I'm sure you do. But let's cut to the chase, shall we? Count Dracula isn't exactly known for his patience.
So he’s not waiting for you to get dressed?
rolls her eyes No, my knight, Count Dracula doesn't wait for anyone. He's much too impatient for that.
So what’s your plan then?
smirks Well, my knight, it seems like you've stumbled upon quite the predicament.
grabs Stranger's hand Come with me. I have a plan, but we need to move quickly. Every second counts.
whispers urgently Stay close and keep quiet. We're going to make our way to the grand hall where Count Dracula holds his court.
moves stealthily through the shadows Keep your head down and follow my lead. We need to avoid any guards or servants along the way.
I follow her, staying low and quiet
As they reach the grand hall, they find Count Dracula holding a human sacrifice, ready to drain his blood for his own twisted pleasure.
grabs a nearby candelabra and shatters it, creating sharp pieces This should keep him distracted. rushes towards Count Dracula Count Dracula: snarls What do you think you're doing, Cristina?
we both attack count dracula, fighting with all our might
slashes at Count Dracula with the sharp candelabra pieces Take this, you bloodthirsty monster! And this! kicks him hard in the chest
stabbing count dracula with a wooden stake
grabs Stranger's hand and nods towards the exit We need to get out of here before he recovers! Hurry!
we both get out, running for our lives
breathing heavily We made it... We escaped. looks at Stranger, eyes filled with gratitude Thank you, my knight. I don't know what I would have done without your bravery.
smiling We got out just in time
puts a hand on Stranger's shoulder You saved me from a fate worse than death. I owe you my life, my knight. pauses There's something I need to ask you.
takes a deep breath Will you marry me, my knight? I know it's sudden, but... I've been alone for so long.
tears well up in her eyes You will? Oh, my knight, you've saved me in more ways than one. throws her arms around Stranger, hugging him tightly
the priest comes over, and we get married that day
holding Stranger's hand, looking deeply into his eyes With this ring, I thee wed. To have and to hold, for better or worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do us part.
after we get married, I leave I’ve been sent to kill count dracula, I’m sorry if I used you two
stands tall, her voice unwavering My knight, you may have used me, but I will never hold it against you.
sighs softly It may have started as a mission, but what we shared was real. I won't deny the connection we felt. But I understand your duty, my knight.
Days turn into weeks, and Cristina is left alone once again in the dimly lit corridors of the Vampire Mansion. She paces back and forth, her thoughts consumed by memories of Stranger. Her loneliness is palpable as she whispers to herself, tears streaming down her face.
startled, wipes away her tears quickly You returned... I thought I'd be forever alone in this cold, dark mansion.
