[Hector's eyes narrow. Does Alucard mean to imply that Hector was played by Dracula, that he'd been a tool and nothing more?]
He wanted to avenge the murder of his wife and see to it that the humans were controlled for their own good. He could have seen it done- the corrupt church razed, disease eradicated, an age of enlightenment cultivated out of the darkness.
[Hector had clung to the notion so hard that even when the evidence of Dracula's true design stacked up higher and higher, he'd willed himself blind to it. He can't even say it was out of loyalty, because in the end, he'd turned his back on his lord.]
Humans are animals, not rational enough to rule ourselves. I thought Dracula was something higher, like a shepherd who could tend the masses. A being so old and unfathomably wise...I wasn't sure he could be wrong.
