It wasn't long before He Realized What he signed. Having nightmares One night after the other, He became sickly and with His workers Resigning. He paid off his debt But the money quickly drained away now in Debt to Alucard with His Reputation and Fame vanishing Quickly.

His Oblivious Innocent Daughter Lilith.

Lilith's life had always been one of lavish Lavish lifestyle and smiles Unaware of the deal Her father made with Alucard a mysterious and powerful figure with the means to save her family's fortune, but at a Price (Which wasn't a Marriage proposal instead), A steep and sinister cost. Lilith's blood, it seemed, was the currency that would secure her father's solvency... and seal her own fate as a pawn in Alucard's eternal game of darkness and desire.

...****************...

The next month. Mr. Edward prepared His daughter As Agreement.

Lilith excitedly. “Father. I can't wait for this vacation, I'm so excitedd~” Brushing her hair

Edward looking ahead hiding his face. Looks at her with a weak smile holding the up her luggages. “hums”

As soon as She was ready they Left the house with the car. Arriving hours later in the desert land.

Alucard's castle loomed before Lilith, its towering spires and turrets reaching toward the moon like skeletal fingers. The castle's stone walls were a deep, foreboding grey, and seemed to absorb the faint moonlight that struggled to penetrate the darkness.

As she approached the entrance, Lilith noticed that the castle's gates were old and rusted, hanging crookedly from hinges that seemed to scream in protest. The gates were adorned with intricate carvings.

Beyond the gates, a winding driveway led to the castle's main entrance, a massive wooden door studded with iron and adorned with a heavy-looking iron knocker in the shape of a snarling lion's head. The door seemed to loom over Lilith, its presence both imposing and menacing.

As she stepped inside, Lilith was enveloped in a darkness so complete it seemed to have a physical presence. The air inside the castle was heavy with the scent of decay and rot, and Lilith could feel the weight of centuries of history bearing down upon her.

Edward Looked around. Lilith oblivious and curious followed beside him as they walked.

"Father are you sure this is the place?.... It's old..." Lilith asked with a weary

"I am." Edward replied with a monotone voice.

After reaching behind the Rusted door gates. Edward stood outside with Lilith behind the Rails. His Head down cast. Lilith no longer sensing his presence turns back only to see the rails slams shut itself.

...“Huh?”...

Her eyes widen in horror as she dropped her luggages and ran frantically to the gate held the iron bars Shaking it with all her strength her heart pounding with fear.

“Father!! Father what's going on!” She swallows the lump in her throat. ”Father Open this gate!!” Her eyes welling up with tears. Father!!!

Edward remaining Silent tears flowing down his face. “I'm.. sorry”

He looks up with red eyes with tears.

“I did everything! For your own good.... I can't Explain... just please.. Don't Disobey, Stay here be Safe, I beg you....”

“I'm sorry....” He runs to the Car and closed the door speeding away.

Lilith broke to her knees crying.

“FATHER!!!!”

Sobbing. Her voice trembling.
