Comments: Bună ziua! I here present you another idea that has been swirling inside my head since I have watched 'The Tudors' & Dark Prince: The true story of Dracula, eheh, and it won't go away because I have dreamed about it all those things and I just wanted to write it!

Notifications: Mind you, this story plays of in 15th century, then he's already a vampire.. blah..blah, but he has taken all the power over Romania and the Ottoman Empire.

Warning: It says M+ so you know it. Sometimes in this story it happens or whatever, it is not that long of a story because I hate to write really long stories because then you go on and on about something.. I try not to do that also and, this is lightly with Orthodox and all those things, I don't know many of them because I myself am not religious and one of my friends are Orthodox and they have explained some of it to me, sorry if some people here are religious but I don't need flames at it!

Chapter One

20th day of February,
In The Year Of Our Lord, 1579

Place in Bucharest, with Earl Vodă, in his house – shortly before sunrise.

Me and my ladies are currently making ourself ready for our departure towards Brașov. Proof of this is all the hustling in the great hall, there must be more then hundred people down the stairs, and most of them all need to go the same direction as us, and that is not all, even more people walk into the busy hall.

I am about to lift my suitcase when my door to my chambers are opened by some guards in armor and then someone steps into my room that I know all too well, there stands Lady Corina, Viscountess of Craiova and I see her wearing a frown on her beautiful, pale face.

"Lady Seras! You cannot sit like that, you sit like a farm girl! You will crop your gown if you sit like that again!" Her voice normally is light and soft but now it is heavy with chagrin. I looked down at my blue damask gown that fits perfectly with my eyes, I could not find any sort of crop in my gown, it is still perfectly straight.

"I have no idea what you are talking about, Lady Corina," I curtsy towards her and she does the same. "And now if you do not mind, I would like to go now." the guard are coming towards me and I slightly shiver when one of them eyes me hungrily, if Lady Corina hears of this she would castrate those men and I am against that.

I pick up my gown slightly and walk out of my chambers with Viscountess Corina, as I am walking everyone bows lowly towards me, knowing who I am. Even if all those pigs stare me up hungrily I will not allow them a painful dead, I am truly against that as the child of the head nun of the orthodox church in Bucharest and as the legitimated child of the Archduke of Sibiu.

I stop once we are at the front of the doors that lead outside where my carriage awaits me and Lady Corina. I hear whispers behind me and tried to ignore them, I do not care what people think of me, but if they go too far I will have them punished lightly, I am not one of them that stake a silver stake through their arch as I know some people did, I am against it and I will shame my church for such taboo.

I feel a guard hand me my fur coat and I lay it over my shoulders, tying the strings together and set my hat good atop my head. When I nod the doors are opened and I walk outside towards the carriage that will bring me towards Brașov.

When I and Viscountess Corina are seated with mine and her lady-in-waiting we start to move. I move the curtains lightly and see that we are moving faster than normally, perhaps an order from Lady Corina. She always wants to get somewhere fast and most before sunset because she hates to ride through the mountains of Transylvania at nighttime. We were told about creatures that swarm around the woods and they now call them 'Strigoi' it is Romanian and as I heard from the New World it stands for vampires, of course I do not believe such rubbish but Lady Corina is really superstitious.

I let the curtain go and finally notices that everyone is looking at me. I try to raise an eyebrow but fail miserably, they soon look away and turn towards the conversation.

I soon close my eyes, hoping when I open my eyes that we will be in Brașov.

Afternoon upon the same day

"Lady Victoria." I slowly open my eyes and stretch un-ladylike and yawn lightly.

"I am awake, what is it?" I was lightly irritated by being awakened from my slumber, I was still quite tired after being awakened at 5 in the morning.

"We are here M'lady." I shot up and shoved the curtains away, seeing the beautiful sight before me. It was still as I remembered even if I was born in Sibiu, I always came here as a small child because my mother lived here. I looked more around and saw a huge church, so beautiful and when I looked further away shivers raked over me, there in the mountains stood an intimidating castle, the castle of Vlad Tepes. He was famous in our history, there was written so many about him but he died almost a century ago, but still his successors lived there. The one who lived there now was the grand-grandchild of him, his name was also Vlad, but nobody ever heard of him but he did organize balls but never came. The Voivode was a great mystery to all of us.

The door was opened and I looked out of the door, I did not notice that we were still moving but now we were by a castle that I did not recognize, it must have been built somewhere in the 10 years that I have not set a foot in this place.

The first one to step out of the carriage was Viscountess Corina and then her lady-in-waiting and then I came. I stepped out and immediately chills came over me, but not chills of the cold air but of someone watching me. It was scary.

I stared to walk but still felt someone watching me, I stopped and eyed the guard they were all looking downwards, not meeting my eyes, then it could not be the guards. Who then?

I felt a hand on my shoulder and turned around, sighing in relief when I saw that it was only Lady Corina with a frown on her face.

"What is troubling you, dear?" I looked around once again and was let towards a shadowy figure in the woods, I shivered.

"Nothing. I am just cold, can we please go inside?" she nodded and we began walking again, soon consumed in the warmth of the fire blazing in the hall.

Everything was done right now, my lady-in-waiting packed out my suitcase and almost kicked me out of my chambers, saying that I was her work to do the clothes and that she needed to wash some of my clothes for later, and she was right about that one thing 'later', because I was going to a ball all of a sudden, it was shocking! I have never gone to a ball, my mother was always so busy with the church and I never saw my father because they did not see each other anymore.

But now back to the current issue, I was bathing in a bath with my lady in waiting washing my hair even if I objected that I could do it myself, she silenced me and kept washing my hair with soft fingers while I bathed in warm water.

After bathing I was carried out of the warm milk and dried off and smeared in with some sort of lotion from the New World to make your skin even softer. While I was being dried of my hair was braided and turned in a sort of crown on my head, smearing it lightly with something else from the New World to make it stand straighter.

I was clothed in braies and a hose before I was clothed in a low-cut chemise, making my generous bust stand out. I was given a hose and over that came my red-blooded cotehardie, it was tied at the back tightly and a slit was at the front to let my golden-like hose been seen. I was given flat sandals with golden-flowerlike decorations.

The finishing touch was a light smearing on my face and I was done, most of the things I was wearing now on my skin were from the New World, and I must say, they were beautiful and my skin was really as soft as they say it would get from that cream.

There was a knock on the door before it was opened and Viscountess Corina came inside, looking as beautiful as ever even for her quite old age. She gasped when she saw me and came towards me, taking my hands and kissing me on the cheek 2 times, I blushed lightly and looked away shyly.

"You look lovely, my dear!" I blushed some more and looked away again, trying not to blush.

"Thank you, Lady Corina." I curtsied and she did the same to me before again kissing me on the cheek and taking my arm.

"Come, come, we need to go before the ball starts without us down the stairs." I nodded and linked our arms together. Even if she was almost 12 years older than me, you could tell we were best friends, she was my wet nurse when I was little, she would always take care of me when my mother and father were not there for me, father mostly fighting in the war and mother at the church, she was more like a mother then me then my real mother.

When we came downstairs a headdress was set on both our head, we cannot let them show our hair, it was an forbidden act that men could stare at our hair, only if we were married woman and the husband gives his permission can we take in off where other men and woman are.

The door was opened and we immediately heard the music came to a stop, everyone turned towards us and they bowed, knowing who I am and who the woman next to me was, but one figure in the back did not bow but just smirked mockingly in my direction.

The nerve.

We both curtsied and walked towards the beginning of the room, there stood my father, Archduke of Sibiu, known by many names as a warrior who fought the Ottoman Empire. I fastened my steps a little and let go of Lady Corina her arm and let myself be lead towards my father, seeing him smile at me and I smiled back. I curtsied low and kissed his ring finger, still seeing the ring that resembled my mother.

"My daughter, welcome back." He whispered towards me and turned me around the room, I blushed all the while, hoping my braies would not be seen.

"Father! Set me down, please, your embarrassing me!" I half yelled at him, seeing him grin lightly before setting me down, I huffed and turned pink when my eyes scanned the room again and met the stranger again, I turned my eyes away fast and met the ones of Lady Corina, I smiled at her as I saw her coming towards me.

I walked towards her and gripped her hand tightly, slightly scared at the crowd in front of me, eying me up and down slowly.

"Father," I whispered softly and he turned towards me. "Yes, my dear?" I looked around the room again and could not find the stranger again, he was just gone, I shivered again but looked back towards mine father. "Can you start the ball again?" he nodded and clapped his hands together, getting everyone's attention.

"Shall we start the ball now for real, ladies and gentlemen?" I smiled brightly when I saw the ladies turn towards their partner and started a light pavane and some an coranto. I always loved to dance, I even learned all the most common dances but never did anything because I never came towards a ball.

I eyed all the dancers and felt sad that no men had the courage to ask me to dance, I would understand it lightly if they were scared for my father, but he is not that scary if I am in the room, he is just really overprotective for his only childe.

"Father, would you—"

"M'lady, would you care for a dance?" I slowly turned around, followed by my father and saw the stranger from before, he was bowing lightly with one hand stretched out and the other behind his back, looking me right in the eye. I looked towards my father, asking for permission to dance with this young men.

When I got a nod from my father I took the young men's hand and he led me towards the center of the room. I gripped his hand tightly and felt an shock run through my body and my eyes met his, it looked like he felt it to and his grip tightened around my waist, we started a slow bassadance, it was also one of my favorites, how he knew it, I did not know.

It seemed we could not stop with dancing, we first danced the bassadance then came the coranto and then we did the pavane, and then again the bassadance. It felt so special dancing with him, I did not know why but I also could not get my eyes of him, he seemed to have the same thing about me.

He turned me around and back into his arms and bent down low, his breath tickling my exposed neck.

"Tell me your name, M'lady." I gasped a little when his own long curly hair tickled my neck, he was close, so close.

"Lady S-seras Victoria, Duchess of Targoviste, M'lord." I whispered softly and felt him smirk in my neck before I was turned out of his arms and turned back again, feeling the hard planes of his chest against my breasts.

"Now tell me your name, M'lord." I questioned while looking in his eyes, never stopping our dance. He grinned down at me and turned me around again.

"You can call me Vlad." My eyes widened a friction before they turned normal again, remembering that the other one did not exist anymore. He just happened to have the same name as that men. I looked him in the eyes and moved my hand from his shoulder and twirled it around his hair, smiling brightly.

"It is a beautiful name, Vlad." I looked him again in the eye and saw his eyes twinkle with something.

"You think so, M'lady? Have you not heard the history about my name?" he questioned silently before turning me around again.

"Of course have I heard, but that men does not exist anymore, and I like the name very much. If I ever bear a son I would name them like that." My eyes lost focus and wandered off in those thoughts. I was shaken from my thought when he stopped dancing and holding my small frame. I looked at him and saw him standing before me before clapping his hands.

I instantly recognized the music and blushed while eying him up and down a little.

"Would you care to dance the La Volta with me, Lady Seras Victoria?" I felt like I could just faint there, everything had stopped and the guest were looking at us.

I nervously swallowed before nodding, I knew this dance out of my head, but it was an lovers dance not just for some people who just met.

I looked him once again in the eyes and saw him smirking at me, standing there at a high length, towering over me.

The music started and the violin began playing as I danced around him, looking him in the eyes all the while, he bowed lowly to me and I curtsied. He gave me his arms and I gripped it tightly, still looking in his eyes, I danced forwards and gripped his arms tighter, letting my fingers climb his arm lightly. Twirling around while he stood there, looking me all the while in the eyes.

I sprinted forwards and his arms gripped my waist and upper arms tightly while I gripped his face lightly, closing my eyes a little. We turned around a little, me gripping his face with both hands and almost nuzzling our noses, it looked like we were about to kiss. He led me backwards, his breath fanning over my face and gripping my waist even tighter while twirling around the room.

He titled me up and gripped my covered thighs while I gripped his neck tightly, slightly afraid. He turned us around and let me glide down, I stepped backwards fast and gripped his arm again, turning around and twirled back into his arms with my back against him. He picked up my hands and set them above my head while his hands glided along my arms along my breasts towards my waist before picking me up and twirling me on my back around. He let me down and I turned around, closing my eyes briefly before looking at him again, I danced backwards, half twirling before dancing back towards him, jumping on him.

He picked me up and twirled me around again, gripping my covered thighs and back, twirling me around many rounds that I could get dizzy. He let me glide down again and tightly gripped my waist, slowly letting bowing my back and turning around before bringing me up again and picking up my arms and twirling me around one last time before stopping and letting me fall against his chest.

I heard applause from everyone in the room but tuned them out fast, looking him into the eyes and feeling a spark flowing over my body, his eyes were so beautiful, they looked red but also orange, not a common color. My breath and his breath mingled together as we breathed our exhausting, I had a light blush on my face of the most sexual dance I have ever danced, definitely when he almost gripped my breast.

He had a smirk on his face as wide as it could while he breathed, slowly leaning in towards me as if he was at the point to kiss me. I leaned in also and our noses brushed together ever so lightly. I opened my mouth lightly, about to kiss him when we were interrupted by a loud cough.

I turned around instantly while he released me from his arms, stepping backwards lightly. I looked and saw Lady Corina looking at me with a mischievous smile. I turned around again at the exact moment that he wanted to grip my hand.

"I will say goodbye for now, Lady Seras Victoria, I hope to see you soon again." he kissed my hand slowly and then turned around, strolling away towards the doors.

And at that moment I felt like I could faint.
