The black coach ran up the winding path to the villa; each horse hoof step echoed on the ground with a clomp. The windows were completely blacked out, and the coachman was an extremely tall, extremely pale man wearing the namesake hat and a trail coat. The coach came to a stop in front of the villa, and they got off the top and opened a large parasol before opening the door and letting out three veiled women, making sure the parasol was covering all three figures. All three women were clad in black, but one was extremely tall, and the other were much shorter. Before long, there was a knock at the door, and Alucard’s servant opened it up as the coachman tipped his hat and closed the door for the women, as the two shorter women unveiled themselves, revealing a pair of Japanese twins with almost identical, attractive, and strangely grayish faces. The tall woman, still veiled, paid no attention to the servant and instead looked around and waited.
After a few minutes, Alucard came out hand in hand with Stephanie. The two shorter women bowed to the couple, but the tall woman did not. Alucard smiled “Stephanie, this is my sister Alexia and her handmaidens The two giggled and one stepped forward and replied in perfect Romanian “I am Mariko” the other one chined in “And I am Keiko” Mariko replied “It is great to finally meet the lord’s bride” Stephanie blushed “Well we might be seeing each other but I don’t know about that” Keiko smiled “It’s only a matter of time” Mariko replied “Mistress Alexia wishes to examine Stephanie personally” Stephanie blushed and Alucard replied “Of course the bathing room in the east wing has been prepared for your arrival” Keiko replied “Of course we will take her there now if that is okay with her” she then took Stephanie's hand as she blushed. Stephanie had never been into women, but she couldn't help but be a little shy around other women. “Sure, that's okay with me.” Mariko then took her hand. “Don’t worry, Stephanie, we are gonna pretty you up, not that you are not beautiful already.” They then made their way to the east wing master bathroom.
The four women made their way to the large master bathroom as Keiko closed the bathroom door. Alexia, still veiled, looked at Stephanie and then took off her veil to show her face. Alexia was a stunning woman, just as pale as her brother and just as tall; she had the same dark eyes and dark black hair, hers going all the way down to her shoulders. Her face was gaunt but beauteous with large cheekbones on either side of her face, and a strong jaw, along with her minimal makeup, gave this noble woman a masculine edge. Her dress was elegant and minimalistic with a dark midnight blue main color and silver highlighting the edges and buttons. She stared into Stephanie’s eyes and spoke for the first time, “Yes, you are a woman, my brother was right.” She then addressed Stephanie directly, “Why do you wish to be a woman?” Stephanie replied because it’s what I feel inside, it’s who I am as a person, to be anyone else would be torture.” Alexia thought on this and replied, “Very well, Stephanie, but I must warn you, it is not an easy life being a woman in these days, even a woman with a noble title such as myself. Humankind has not been even in our modern times. Stephanie tilted her head and thought, “Humanity ?... She acted like she was not a part of humanity. Are we not all human?” Alexia continued

“The reason I am not yet married is because If I were to marry a man, I would cease to have my own rights or property, they would be an extension of his property, effectively making me... his property by all legal means, I cannot abide by this”. “So tell me, are you willing to submit to my brother as a husband? Are you willing to.. Be an extension of him and not a person of your own?” Stephanie replied, “I have known Alucard for a few months, and I know he would never treat me like that.” Alexia sighed, “My brother is kind, perhaps too kind at times, he would never mistreat you, but you are fortunate so few women are. If you want to be a woman, so be it; don’t say I didn't warn you. This is not easy,” She then turned to the twins, “Clean her and prep her, I need to talk to my brother.” “Yes, ma’am,” both of them said before Alexia left.
Alexia came into the study where Alucard was peaking out of the blinds. He quickly turned around to face his sister. “So what do you think?” Alexa pursed her lips and replied, “She has potential; she is unmolded clay. With the right training, she could make her a perfect wife. I do have concerns.” “What of them?” Alexia cleared her throat. “Well, for instance, the nature of her... heritage,” Alucard grunted. “Oh yeah, the son of the great vampire Lord Dracula marrying a brown woman would scandalize the council, well, I say let be, mad, I can take care of them.” Alexia shrugged, “Second is ..... You need heirs; this is a problem.” Alucard grunted, “I am looking into that. I am intent on making her a full woman; she would want nothing less. I will make it happen.” Alexia replied, “Lastly, there is the issue of... she is not turned yet.” Alucard sighed, “Yes, she is still human.... I will explain our existence to her eventually.” Alexia slightly frowned at the fact that her brother hadn't even explained the concept of vampires to the woman he was intended to marry... reckless. “You are so much like your father. I don't want you to be killed the same way he was.” Alucard, for the first time, raised his voice at his sister, “I am nothing like father! As for the humans that killed him, I will exact my revenge soon; they will regret killing him!” For the first time in a very long time, Alexia reflexively backed away from her brother. “Of course, brother, I expect nothing less.”
