We have come to understand that Dracula's first inviolable edict, sacrosanct to all vampires under his rule since 1094, has been violated, and the target a child of our own congregation.
Neither we nor you can allow this to stand.
We demand the death of the one who did this, as is custom. We demand that it be slow. That it be agonizing. That every one of your people understands fully what happens to those who break the first law, so that none might follow in their footsteps.
Should this matter not be resolved before the Ascension of Our Lord in May, our hunt will become a Crusade. Pentecost will see all water in this city, from the Mississippi to the sewers to every drop of rain, run Holy.
Make them suffer,
Agafya Sanda Cristea
[ So that's a thing. Trevor looks at the ground as Alucard reads, exhausted and god, he does not want to give this letter to his boyfriend. But Agatha is right. Dracula's law preventing children from being turned before they could understand what it entailed is the only thing that kept the Belmont family's questing against the night at the only-mostly-ridiculous level it was at. And it was the lack of that law that resulted in them turning to the desperate, horrible measures they took.
If Alucard cannot keep Dracula's first law obeyed, he cannot rule the city. No matter how he feels. ]
The phone call. [ He repeats, quiet and subdued and maybe a little surprised. Because it's a hell of a day when that letter would somehow not be the most troubling news that one recieved. ] What news?
