A/N: I'm so sorry for the delay! School's been heck! I'd get home and be too exhausted for anything at all, even thinking! But since it's been a few weeks, I'm starting to get into a routine! I also found out that I'm at a secondary 5 level English! I'm just doing classes for credits. Anyways! On with the story! I also, sadly, don't own Alucard, or any of Hellsing! You know, Integra's a lucky woman to have a man like that at her disposal!

When Seras woke up, she looked around the room, smiling. She was in Alucard's home. She looked at the form beside her. He lay there very still. But deep in sleep. She untangled herself from his arms and got out of the bed, walking over to the dresser and pulling out a red gown. She put on a pair of black underwear and a matching bra before putting on the gown. When she turned around she spotted his red eyes watching her. She nearly jumped out of her skin. "Ach! Alucard, would you mind telling me if you wake up next time?" He chuckled. "Why would I give away my position? It's mesmerizing just watching you dress, my draculina." She sighed and walked over to the bed grabbing her pillow and hitting him with it while he laughed. "Pervert. Come! I want to see the rest of the palace!" He sat on the edge of the bed and ran his hand down his face before standing up. Seras almost began to drool at his naked form. He began dressing again and put on his vest and over shirt, along with his dress pants and boots. He walked over to the door and held out his arm for her to take. "Let us be off." She smiled and ran up beside him, wrapping her arm around his own.

They passed many rooms on the way, many were sitting rooms, a conference room, guest rooms. Servant rooms, bathrooms. He walked down the stairs and into the main foyer. She spotted large double doors to the left and right. To the left of the stairs was a large dining room, with a table that could fit at least 30 people. The door beyond that was the kitchen. To the right of the stairs was the living room. It held three large black microfiber sofas and a large fireplace. There were bookshelves covering one entire wall and a small matching black microfiber recliner with a goose neck lamp right next to it. Seras walked over to the bookshelves. "You have so many..." Alucard chuckled and shook his head. "This, Seras, is only a small selection. Follow me." He walked out of the room and she quickly followed.

Between the stairs in the main foyer, behind the thrones, was another pair of large double doors. Through these doors was a long hallway, with more rooms. He arrived at the last door on the right and opened it. Inside was a library that could rival the Library of Congress. Seras ran in and smiled widely. This could keep her busy for ages! He walked in and looked around. "I've been collecting. There are books here that date back to the 1800's. Handle them carefully." She nodded and he grabbed her shoulder. "We still have one more place to go." She cocked her head to the side and he smiled at her walking out of the room. Once they left the room, they continued down the hall a few steps before coming to another two large double doors. He opened it and inside, was a ballroom. There were windows lining the walls from floor to ceiling adorned with red curtains. There was a raised platform at the complete opposite of the room which was used to the stage. There was a large grand piano with golden decorations. Seras' heart leaped into her throat and she thought she was going to cry. He remembered that she played the piano. She walked into the room, her high heeled shoes clicking across the white tiled floor. She spun around and looked up at Alucard who hadn't moved from his spot in the doorway. "You approve of our home then?" Our home. Blood tears began to fill her eyes as she tried to hold them back. She ran up to him and grabbed him tightly around the waist. "Yes, Alucard! I love it! It's more than I could ever dream of!" He held her gently and smiled lustfully.

He led her out of the room and they walked back down the hall. They were both pretty hungry after all of their 'activities'. The bedroom, and on the floor in the ballroom... on the piano as well... Seras decided that after some food, she will take a long hot bath. Alone.

Once Alucard brought her to the kitchen through large white doors in the dining room, she stood in shock. It was huge. She was so lost in thought that she never noticed the blood pack held out right under her nose, until Alucard coughed softly. She jumped and politely took the pack. "Thank you, Alucard... Every room is so big! I'm afraid I might get lost." He chuckled, and smiled at her "Seras, you can materialize. Visualize the room you wish to go to. It's very simple." She puffed her cheeks at him and drained the blood pack. "Well then, take me to the bathroom, I'm in desperate need of a hot bubble bath. And you're not invited." He raised his brow and stared at her curiously. "Every woman needs her space. But this is my home, and I may enter the room if I want to." She stuck her tongue out at him, and he simply grinned, walking out of the kitchen, beckoning her to follow.

Once he showed her to the bathroom and showed her how to use the knobs and everything, she started filling up the tub with bubbles and bearably hot water. Then she turned to Alucard and stared at him. "Shoo." He almost choked on his spit at the nonchalantly cute face she gave him as she said that. Her big red eyes staring at him expecting him to obey. He leaned against the wall and crossed his arms, smirking at her as she glared. She may be small, but she's fierce dammit! She hissed at him and went to jump on him but he dematerialized through the wall chuckling. "Have a nice bath, my dear. I shall be back to check on you in one hour if you are not out by then." She puffed out her cheeks as she undressed and slid into the hot bath. She sighed in contentment, and dunked her head under the water, only to come back up with bubbles on her head. She sat limply in the water with the water just below her bottom lip, and a large mound of bubbles on her head, deep in thought. She must look ridiculous right now, but she's damn happy, and she won't let a perverted vampire king ruin her peace and quiet! At least for another hour.

The hot water soothed her aching muscles and bones so much that she nearly fell asleep. Until she nearly jumped out of her skin when a black mass popped it's head out of the water between her legs, red eyes staring at her. She squealed and dove out of the water. "Alucard!" She fumed. He chuckled and stepped out of the bath. "I told you I'd come check on you." She growled, staring at him "I will need a few hours of girl time sooner or later!" He pouted at her. "Oh come now, I will allow you to your time, I'm just enjoying my freedom." Seras sighed, she understood, and she wouldn't reprimand him for it. She walked up to him and hugged him tightly. "Do you think you could introduce me to the local town? I might like to go on a shopping spree." He raised his brow and smiled. "My fortune is not small, especially after a few centuries, it might have increased. I believe a few million would hold you over, right?" Seras' jaw nearly dropped. Few million? She didn't even know what to do with a thousand! He politely handed her a card, that already had her name on it. He smiled. "And please don't worry about the amount. I will show you the town. My home, is yours." She smiled and dried herself off, dressing back up and running out of the room, and stumbling to a stop in the hallway. She gasped. The first time she came through here, she saw Alucard's ancestry, the kings in the family. She never noticed the other side of the hall with the queens. And the last one... a frame, with her name below it, all it needed was the painted picture. She jumped when she felt hands run down her arms. "I've hired a painter to come in a few hours. If you wish to go get something nice to wear for the portrait, be my guest, I shall accompany you." She almost burst into tears right there. Her face is going to be a part of history. And that's all she could think about the entire time she was getting ready to go out.

Almost half an hour of walking later, they were in the town. She had stopped at a store that had many beautiful dresses in the window. She sighed and smiled at them, all Alucard had to do was drag her inside. "Choose any. The price is no matter, choose a dozen if you wish." Seras gasped slightly and looked around, finding the perfect one. She tried it on. It was red to match her eyes. A strapless dress that fanned out slightly at her waist, the skirt having a layer of lace flowing down to the floor. There was a black sash that wrapped around her waist and tied to a bow in the back. On her arms, black gloves stopping above her elbows. Around her shoulders, a black see-through shawl. All that was missing was the make up, and the hairdo. Alucard smiled as he waited patiently in a chair. The dress was exquisite, and that was the dress she chose. The price doesn't matter. She just knows that she'll be spending hours just getting ready for the painting.

When Alucard invited the painter in, he greeted him. "Good evening. My wife shall be along in a little. She is just getting ready." And as if on cue, she walked down the stairs in her lovely gown. She wore ruby earrings and red lipstick to match. Her hair was done up in a small bun with an onyx hair clip. Alucard smiled and walked up to her, pulling out a large red box and opening it, revealing a large onyx choker. It started with a simple choker with onyx gems, but fanned out over her shoulders and chest in a web-like fashion. She gasped when he put it on her. Almost crying again and messing up her make up. "Alucard... You spoil me..." He smiled and bowed. "My bride shall be treated like the queen that she is." She sniffled and started fanning her eyes. "No! I don't want to mess up my hard work...!" He laughed and placed his fingers under her eyes wiping the tears threatening to fall, gently as to not mess up her make up.

A few minutes later and she was sitting on the throne, posing, as the painter worked. Alucard stood behind the painter for no longer than a minute to observe his work, and not long enough to bother him. He was outlining in pencil first. More minutes passed and Seras was already bored. She knew it could take an hour or more, and she was also getting hungry. Thankfully he was working fast but he was also putting in a lot of detail and making sure everything was perfect.

In the end, everything was worth it. It took almost an hour and a half to get every detail right, and to get the paint the right color. When he was done he nodded and Alucard inspected it before paying him. "You did wonderfully, Thank you for your time." The painter nodded and looked up at him. "You must let it dry at least over night." He nodded and a butler showed up to show the painter out. Seras stood and walked over to Alucard as he stared at the picture. When she spotted it she couldn't take her eyes off it it. She sat on the throne elegantly, both hands folded on her leg crossed over her lap, slightly turned to the side, looking straight. She was at a loss for words. "Alucard..." He nodded, knowing exactly what she was about to say "Yes, my dear. You truly are that beautiful. And soon, this painting will be hanging on the wall, for generations to come to simply stare at your beauty." He gently ran the backs of his fingers against her soft cheek. "Come my dear, let us retire before the sun rises. You need the rest." She nodded and wrapped her arm around his own, following him up the stairs to the bedroom, leaving the painting to dry in the foyer.

A/N: There you go! The next chapter finally done! I'm sorry if it isn't as good as the last ones, or if it seems rushed, I'm honestly trying not to fall asleep as I type. It's exactly midnight, and I need to sleep! I hope you enjoyed! Reviews are appreciated! Until Next time!
