#another lifetime

☦️• I am going to do a short Wallachia history lesson:

📍The correct title for Vlad is Voivode, which translates to warlord. The closest matching to nobility title is Prince. The title Earl is much lower than Prince. Vlad would have been quite offended as nobles are often.

📌• The Ottoman Turks had a posthumous title for Vlad III Drǎculea:

Kazili Voivoda= Impaler Prince

Kazili Bey=Sir Impaler

As for wife, the only one known is Hungarian princess Justina (Ilona is mentioned too, not sure which version of first name) Szilagyi and relative to King Matthias Corvinus. The first wife is not known actually, though the name may have been Elizebeta.

Not historically accurate about that first wife was Polish princess Antassia, according to Vladdocs. Also, Katerina Siegal is not historically accurate, but it makes a great romantic tourist attraction. It's like where Siegal was from, ill feelings about Vlad still existed. He boiled people alive, but let's sell coffee drink containers with his face and name on it.

His first wife may have not even been an official wife but a concubine. Wallachia had it that as long as the male was of Nobility, then the female part didn't matter. Children would come from commoners and still be eligible to the throne. One eligible candidate was a fishmonger. Another fact is that female lineage was not considered necessary in Europe. England is an exception where the maternal side was recorded.

♟️

On we go now: you are not his wife as wives are for political gain and possible heirs, and you definitely don’t travel with him. So you are considered a concubine to others, but you are what they call a courtesan. A big difference and a woman was allowed to be trained in weapons and wear pants when the situation warranted it.

⚔️● An extremely dangerous mission is about to be taken, and Seras isn’t as fine-tuned at precise shots like a professional (military grade, not police grade) sniper would be. In 24 hours, emerging from the thick English fog is a figure at Hellsing’s main entrance door. A lone figure stands at the door and waits to be allowed to enter.

A young woman (insert your age) steps in quietly and is escorted to Sir Hellsing’s office. Alucard and Sir Integra are in conversation about the treacherously possible mission. Someone in the parliament is a vampire’s ‘stooge’ and interfering with Hellsing’s government funding.

Walter doesn’t even knock but opens the door to the couple talking, actually for Integra,as Alucard had already heard the soft foot- falls of your feet. Though he silently notes you are quite silent for a human. But then isn’t that how snipers are supposed to be?

Sir Hellsing nods her head once to acknowledge you to take a seat. You, of course, choose a chair that puts your back to the wall yet faces everyone in the room.

Never can be too cautious?

“Welcome (f/n) (l/n,” I presume your trip here was uneventful..”

You shrug your shoulders, “A couple of muggers are reconsidering their choice of employment..”

Your eyes flick to see the tall, slender man, dressed in red and with sunglasses, grinning with amusement. You just shrug your shoulders a second time. It had been mentioned that one of the employees was known for over gesturing displays of violence while monologuing.

“Red” must be that person..

“That’s only Alucard,” Sir Integra states, then blows smoke towards the ceiling. “You will soon get used to his antics..”

Your eyes squint for a moment. Just moments ago, his hair was short compared to the long, flowing mane of someone long ago.

“Do I know you, Alucard? Have we passed in a street once and now we are actually meeting?”

The Unholy One softly laughs, “perhaps it was my doppelganger as the Germans call it..”

You shrug for the third time tonight in the office, “No guess not, I now remember facial hair too, and you have none.”

Sir Integra turns her head to Alucard and raises an eyebrow. Has that bastard been testing the sigils again?

She suspects he goes ‘tom catting” in London, and now her concern is that he is appearing as Vlad. The sigils keep him from accessing that level of powers but…It would cause Alucart to be in large amounts of pain, but then the Shadow King loves pain, the Sadomasochist that he is.

“(L/n), Walter will show you to your room..”

“Miss (L/n) is not doing an interview?” Alucard’s black eyebrows rise up.

“No Alucard,” Integra states matter of factly. “An interview was not required. Hellsing has already hired (L/n). Hence, no need for an interview.”

“And then no need for a gun shooting score either..?” his lips form a slight sneer, as if he doesn’t approve of this decision.

“Alucard, there is no need to lose your pretty little head over me and my professional abilities..” You say out loud to remind him, with a hint of being annoyed.

Alucard rises up and cards his long gloved fingers through his untamed mane of hair and then places his large red hat on his head. He flashes a crooked smile, with what appears to be pointed canine, and proceeds to phase through the door of the office.

You mumble under your breath,” I am sure we have met before, but I'm not sure the time or place..”

Now you realize Alucard is more than he seems. You have encountered many strange and spooky incidents, but being able to go intangible is a dangerous ability in your mind.

Your rifle can't take him down if needed…

As now, Alucard is puzzled by your comment of having seen him before. Wouldn’t he have remembered how you look if even a glance?

So begins his quest to who you are. He slowly gets details as you were so impressive at your skill level and ability to stay calm in the confusion. You even came up with a “scenario” that the parliament leak, by saying he was a serial killer. Alucard was willing to add his personal touch to the situation. The ‘mole’ was tried for his crimes and began losing his mind to insanity, so he was committed to Broadmoor (new and improved 2019).

His hellfire eyes watch how you move with such confidence. There once was a woman so confident that she made sure the Boyars continued to support him, as Vlad, when on a campaign in 1460. Your hair is as beautiful as his first wife. You seem part carbon copy but also distinctly different from what he began to remember.

He was raised when reincarnation wasn't believed..

You are now a permanent resident at Hellsing now for six months. You are starting to think “your” prince never existed. He was just a dream that would never be found. Then, one night after an intense conflict with two master vampires, you are injured.

Nothing too serious like being bitten..

This early morning, you began to dream once more, and it seemed so real that you began talking in your sleep. The words you are speaking are the same dialect from long ago.

“Prinţul meu întunecat unde ai plecat? Nu pot trăi fără tine..” [My dark prince, where have you gone? I can not live without you..]

“Sunt aici.” [I am here..]

Alucard is sitting on the bed next to you. When you began speaking his first language. There was no doubt who you were in the past.

“Pisicuță” [little tabby cat]”, his hand now bare (think glove inside out sigils on the inside of his hand) and grasps your hand gently to place a kiss on it.

Alucard’s features change, to long wild looking ebony hair and facial hair that is unmistakable but minus the armor. Vlad has returned but for a short time as his original form causes pain due to the sigils.

“Cavalerul meu s-a întors la mine în siguranță și sunet [My knight has returned to me safe and sound]” as you slowly wake up to see Vlad stroking your cheek.

"M-am întors la tine. Am fost pierdut pentru tine pentru o lungă perioadă de timp, dar acum sunt găsit de tine din nou.. [I have returned to you. I was lost to you for a long time but now I am found by you once more..]” he whispers in your

~sfârşitul deocamdată [the end for now]

♟️♥️♟️♥️♟️

📍I'm a fan of tropes no matter how cheesy they are. I don't know if this was written in detail in a previous ask or in general, but the question is:

What would Alucard do/react when he comes across a young woman that was a reincarnation of a gentle beloved from a past life?

Alucard's doubt and call of coincidence of her in the modern age is erased once she does something like gently caressing his face or calling him an endearing name only they know?

In my reincarnation take, memories can be so deeply buried in the mind due to the many ages the soul has lived it is difficult to remember a particular life - but I'm sure our No Life King can spur them

I know this is a long ask, no rush and please take your time with this. I hope all is well with your shoulder!

===•===

🤔Hmm...not sure I get your use of cheesy. Cheesy means I shouldn't take this ask seriously? Well..I will do what I can as my understanding of reincarnation is different from yours…

🌏My Hellsing universe is not canon either. It is one that has different details like Chateau Sanguine and Slenderman is the front desk part of the year. It's his vacation so he can terrorize Hyde Park. Dr. Pine is the resident doctor at Hellsing etc.

As for details, a little reminder of 2,000 words max. So this may not be what or how you wanted written. I make no apologies for that. You are 'free' to ask another Hellsing writer this question… I am also including the ask on reincarnation Alucard discovering a family member. There will also be the Psycho-biographical considerations about Vlad the Impaler, also known as Dracula by Dr. Peter Dan. It will not be part of the 2,000-word limit.

🗝️Some Concepts on Reincarnation

•You are back on earth from not learning your lessons so that your soul no longer needs to return continually. It's about the higher of the body, mind and soul. Undertaking the journey is believed to ensure the pilgrim's release from the cycle of reincarnation. Lack of memory is so your spiritual path starts with a blank slate. Hopefully one doesn't make the same mistakes in this current lifetime.

📍 (main content starts here)

⏳Alucard will never be able to do reincarnation as he is trapped to spend his undead time forever on earth. Perhaps if that one human finds him and is worthy then he would be released by the cycle of true death.

There's a definite curse right there..

• Also he is formerly Christian so reincarnation is not a concept he deals with remotely in his long period of existing. This is most often Hindu and Eastern counties kind of concept. Perhaps he traveled farther than Europe but all indications are that he only went far from his castle. Bram Stoker leaves these details out.

•All assume that Alucard understands reincarnation due to Copula Bram Stoker's Dracula. The movie diverges substantially from the book in this nature. So I use some history and historical theory that Vlad did some form of alchemy more likely. It is why the alchemy aspect of the Sigils work so well. Alchemy was part of the dark arts used on Dracula to become the tamer version of Alucard.

👁️

•At first Alucard has so many memories stashed in his brain that even he can't always remember. Killing someone isn't even considered an excuse to form a memory. Also his living years were chaotic and full of deadly incidents.

Bad memories stick more than good times…

• Perhaps your death was extremely violent or of great despair. His cruelty made you mad or run far, far away from him. This is a strong emotional marker in an undead mind. So at first he would only subconsciously recognize his reincarnated lover by scent. Even humans are affected by scent we just don’t register it the same or understand what an ‘invisible- like pheromones' is) Scent is often the trigger when a flashback kicks in. Ask the person who resides with a violent drinker. The smell of the breath is an easy trigger.

Smell forms memories in another part of the brain…

•Perhaps he would take time to search out someone's soul he has consumed and obtain more clues. Blood is the currency of the soul. There he encounters a multitude of trapped souls stuck in limbo and reside in Vlad's form of living hell. That does take time so for a year he would simply watch and listen.

A unique behavior, certain words you repeat etc…

•He would choose a location he is comfortable with that you also travel through. Plays and more classical music halls. A loud nightclub or noisy cafe (if even they are open at that time) is not conducive for such a serious encounter from even if his self created shadows are being used

•Remember Alucard is not supposed to be loose and strolling in London even. Shadow King can only bend time so much until questions arise. Sir Hellsing can command him not to see you ever again or the sigils will inflict such pain he can not function or worse gets the pints of blood taken low and a private room in the deep reaches of the basement of Hellsing.

📍(More on this at the end)

• Besides, Alucard doesn't fit in much just due to vampire abilities. That is not taking in the factor of his vibrant hellfire colored eyes.

Even his meer movements betray him..

•Perhaps you are being 'pulled' to a beautiful London park, over time, on a full moon. The Vampire King is troubled and not even sure he will let you know he still exists. Part of his self destruction is that he doesn't deserve you, once he places a name and face to both your pasts. Besides, no human in their right mind would choose a monster.

Especially the King of monsters.. All Father.

•Should he deem himself worthy of your time he would use honorifics such as 'dear lady' or 'Miss.' in the beginning of the meeting. You would have to let him know he can use your first name in the future. He won’t touch you unless you let him know that is appropriate. He believes he is a polite monster at least. . Unholy King still isn't convinced you are the reincarnated person from another time period. He needs to verify how you knew him and you to him...

Alucard would get to know you, so those dark, buried memories may not return from that lifetime…

How much do you now remember of that past life?

Do you have good ones reappearing and not one of his war atrocities you remember? He is torn inside.Alucard respects you too much to ‘rifle’ through your mind.

Could you love him again in this time period? Would you even try once you knew the truth of who he is and what he is?

Perhaps he fears more that you would give your life for him out of feelings of true love. The Shadow King is greatly concerned that it is he who brings danger, disaster and even death. Father Anderson is not above using a lost love to inflict pain on Alucard.Once more his arrogant banter is replaced with self loathing. He's not sure he even remembers how to Love. Let alone deserve your love.

A monster who judges himself unlovable…

Most likely it would be a pet name from the past that opens many doors but not necessarily in a positive light. Then a soft caress of a hand, his face is too high for your hand if he is still guarded with you and being touched. Alucard wonders if your mind will be overtaken by his reawakened memories. You have grayed and distant feeling memories from your dreams.. If the dreams are in color, the images are like a movie put together wrong in editing.

So much blood and screams caused by those damned by his pale unnatural hands and vicious mouth...

“ Franțe membru (blood prince) is that you?” then you see a tired look upon his pale face.

“Blood Prince…blood in more ways than one draga mea,” he would softly reply with a far off looking gaze.

.”Y/n”to be with me, is to walk with me, you must die to your breathing life, and be reborn to mine. I, the Vampire King,and I have found that I can still love because of you iubire de o viață (love of a lifetime) but I love you too much to condemn you to such an existence. You will never be a free vampire in this day and age or should you try to escape Hellsing, I am your executioner. Turn away and never look upon such a monster as me…”

The cursed blood prince dissolves to nothing but shadow and darkness so that he can not be followed by you…

Now for the second scenario:

If you worked at Hellsing then you may or may not get approval from Sir Integra. You would stay if on working at the Hellsing organization, the history comes forth then you could probably stay in Alucard’s trapped life in the manor.

If it was revealed you had remembered and known he was a long lost love before being hired then you would be fired. Sir Integra’s thoughts are that the past life of you two will influence Alucard to disobey specific commands and therefore you can no longer work and reside at Hellsing.

In the end Alucard is property of Hellsing organization. He is a tool or a weapon and so relationships are not deemed necessary for that part he plays.

“The gun” can’t jam’ due to sentiment from long ago…

Notes:

I get my history from @vladdocs on Tumblr gets his information from which is actually history based.

Youtube: Corpus Draculianum

Sadomasochism, deriving pleasure, often of a sexual nature, from the infliction of physical or psychological pain on another person or on oneself or both. The term is a portmanteau of sadism—deriving pleasure from inflicting pain—and masochism—deriving pleasure in receiving pain.
