[Alucard goes. He goes as a wolf, carrying the rose in his mouth. He flies as a bat, holding onto the enchanted flower with all his might. He walks as a man through Targoviste in the earliest hours of the morning, and then he is a bat again.
He watches everything unfold as a bat, tucked safely away under a roof. And...it works. The Belmont curse works, and Alucard flies home ahead of his mother to let his father know that there will be no need for revenge.
It does not stop Dracula's anger. Lisa has brought a man of God who sought her death to the castle. That alone begins a nightmare of a fight, and so Alucard retreats from it. Waits until his mother finds him and asks what her son did to free her.
The creature said to only lie to Dracula. It said nothing of telling his mother the truth, and so Alucard shares all. Even that he must lie to his father's face about the three years and three days.
By the end of it, well. There's no denying the pain on Lisa's face, but she brings her son into a tight embrace. Kisses the top of his head and tells him that she understands. That in the longest possible terms, it was the right thing.
A week later, Alucard lies to Dracula about the three years and three days. His wrath is muted by Lisa only minutes later who is able to share the truth.
The month goes by.
Alucard arrives at the estate. He has four travel bags, two slung over each shoulder. Clothes and food and supplies. Two bags of books to hopefully lift this curse.]
