#valtague

Omg so I haven't drawn manga pages in a while but I sped run these for Valeria and monty 😭 I'll explain some context because without it, it'll look like monty lost his shit for no reason ( he's also very easily triggered by some things, unmanaged BPD tings ), if you remember, i did mention briefly that bc of all the trauma he went through, Romeo's personality is fragmented ( basically, DID ) and the main two fronters are Romeo and Montague ; Romeo thinks that Montague is just his "cold and calculated part" while he's the emotional Part. He sees Montague as his "other self" who's just a dumbass who doesn't understand how important the things he wants are ( being human, being seen as human, finding love like in Romeo and Juliet ), meanwhile, Montague sees Romeo as intelligent but extremely emotionalTo the point of destroying his own self ( that means, too quick to judge, too quick to anger, too quick to cry etc.. ) so he considers himself the "leader" and perfect balance. He gives too little attention to emotions and thinks they're an inconvenience

Montague was basically Formed to deal with the highly stressful situations ever since Romeo's childhood, and he was the main fronter for years after their mother's death.

So, the one who created the society and came up with it was Montague ( what he cares about is ultimate power and immortality ),And he was highly infatuated with Valeria ( it's one sided ).

So when Valeria opened the box, when all those stressful events happened, basically the amulet went out of whack and monty barely managed to handle it, especially the series of betrayals and everyone Just leaving him behind. He secluded himself even more and it was even harder to control what was going on with the amulet

Vlad's soul ( remember i also said Romeo was Vlad Dracula's reincarnation, specifically my own version btw!! ) is also within the amulet Basically like the crimson stone ( castlevania ), and he operates without montague or Romeo's knowledge, to lead Romeo to his fate ( becoming the dark lord ),

While Dracula ( Vlad's own corrupted self ) incites Montague further to only care about the power. So all of them constantly battle between what is best and what isn't, knowingly and unknowingly

That is to say, Romeo / Montague both didn't take Valeria's "betrayal" well and directly were quick to assume she was an ill intentioned coward. All those feelings festered for MONTHS. So the moment she says "it's not that bad😜" he's instantly triggered because YES it WAS that bad and he absolutely hates when someone dismisses his feelings

So he turns into his vampire form by accident, just like he turns to diamond when highly emotional. Valeria doesn't react much, she knows a lot more than he thinks she does, and kind of WANTED him to activate the amulet's potential during her time away.

( the amulet feeds on the souls of people, as well as their blood. So if Monty were to die, it'd revive him through someone else's soul ー and it would drive him further into becoming the dark lord [ by controlling death ] )

So in the last panel, he's just wondering if she can tell that he and Montague are two ( or more ) separate sides of the same diamond 🫡 cause montague wouldn't react So emotionally at all skfkskdk

Summary: Everything about her leaves an impression - from the slightest touch to the way her perfume lingers long after she's gone. She burns hotter than any fire, shines brighter than any ruby, a gem more precious than any Montague had purloined thus far. He'd pushed himself to be content with short meetings and conversations about business, but with time he'd grown curious. Could there be more?

With Valeria, it was always hard to tell.༺═────────────────═༻
