Let me get this right. You're meant to be Dracula's fucking successor, and the best threat that you can manage is that I might get slightly less gentle medical treatment.

[ No wonder there's a power vacuum? God. And also shit, now he has at least the vampire's word that the other human is here by choice he has to deal with. The rest of that information. There's a power vacuum. And he's- basically the ultimate trophy.

There's not a single vampire in the city that's going to fucking kill him, is there? Not when keeping a Belmont trapped but alive is the best symbol of authority there is short of Dracula's stone.

(Which leaves the question of why Alucard threw him out? Because 'is not evil' isn't an explanation he's willing to accept yet. Stupid, maybe. Spoiled and woefully unprepared for the task he's been left with.) ]

That's just kind of sad.
