Leon, Mathias, Sara, and Elisabetha in my style <3

[phantasixum]

I was contemplating on posting this one here, but I decided I should :).

Princess Elisabetha of Romania, great-granddaughter of Emperor Alexander II of Russia.

Don't mind me, I'm just thinking about how much wrath games!Lisa probably rained down upon games!Dracula in the afterlife once he finally kicked the bucket. If nothing else, she'd have most certainly disowned him for his treatment of Alucard, because even setting aside my own (very violent) AU he's such a godawful father in the games.

Show!Dracula just does his thing and eventually relents thanks to ✨ nostalgia ✨ after their initial fight and during their final confrontation, but not only does games!Drac refuse to EVER quit while he's ahead, he actively rubs it in whenever he's making Alucard suffer (I'm counting DBD under the games umbrella).

Both versions of Dracula's character tried to kill exterminate humanity, and I'm sure that both versions of Lisa know this, but only one Dracula went out of his way to torture their son (even if show!Dracula had killed Alucard, he wouldn't have drawn it out).

It's no wonder that games!Drac reincarnated, it was his only way to escape Lisa at her most irate (I know that Lisa is implied to be Elisabetha's reincarnation in the games, but I also like to imagine her and Lisa meeting in the afterlife and becoming besties, so for the sake of argument we'll say that she helped Lisa throw this chanclas at Dracula's head).

🎲 Mathias x Elisabetha

A kiss while one or both parties are crying

And what else could they get :')

~

Must you leave me already? Elisabetha so yearned to say, clutching the hand of her departing husband - but a cough cut off her words.

She should not burden her dear Mathias with her woes, not when he already fretted under the orders of the Church. It was up to her to endure, to place her faith in God that everything will flow according to His plan.

But she was no longer strong enough to quell the dread sinking its claws in her.

"It will be a short expedition, my delight," Mathias reassured, moving away the longer hair from Elizabetha's face, his fingers so hot against her pallor. "I will be by your side before you can notice it."

And how Elisabetha wished she had her former strength, to believe him without a struggle! But then, why were his eyes shining in the candlelight?

She hadn't been able to lift herself in a long while. She lamented the gradual loss of her body, how her husband was forced to bow down to her to kiss her goodbye, again, and again.

Unlike him, Elisabetha had grown too weak to suppress her sobs. It was clear to her, as if God Himself were announcing it: it was a farewell kiss.

Castlevania characters that deserve better:

• Leon Belmont

• Sara Trantoul

• Elisabetha Cronqvist (since we don't know pretty much about her other then being Marhias' wife)

• Rinaldo Gandolfi

• Lisa

• Rosaly

• Hector (he deserved to have a better life, but I'm also glad that betrayed Dracula for being against his plan)

• Shanoa (she lost her adoptive brother that was her only family and to be vassel of Dominus)

Hey, did someone want a continuation of this?

Ehh, it's been sitting in my drafts for a while, and I'm not 100% happy with it, but it did provide a nice exercise to try and write Elisabetha. Eventually, I'll write a third and fourth to this, and it'll be Leon meeting Gabriel, and then they all meet Marie.

Gabriel wakes before the sun. It was a pattern that was engrained in him since he was a child, getting up to clean the knights and paladin's armor and weapons. Yawning, he sits up in the very comfortable bed.... Only to hear the sound of clothes tearing. His eyes widen, and he quickly stands, tearing the clothes more. In the mirror, Gabriel saw the gown Lord Mathias had offered him, was torn apart.

"Great..." Gabriel grumbles. He needed something to repay Mathias' kindness for even offering the gown in the first place, but he figured that it should also work as a repayment for destroying the clothes too. Turning to his armor, he leans over and rummages through his many pouches.

"Where are they? I know they're here somewhere... Aha!" He pulled out the medallion. It was beautifully carved, with five slots filled with glowing green crystals. He had packed an extra Life Gem Medallion in case he needed it. This counted as a time he would need this.

Oh, he hoped that Mathias wouldn't be offended with the item. Gabriel had never interacted one-on-one with an Orthodox, much less a knight for one of their churches, but he knew that many fellow followers of Christ didn't approve of the Brotherhood's usage of magic... Or working with other gods.

"Well, I guess we'll see when I greet him for breakfast," Gabriel shook his head, standing up and looking back at his armor set, gathering it up to clean and put back on.

Elisabetha was walking through the estate, trying to find their new guest. Mathias had stepped out by the time the sun was up to grab Leon, leaving her alone with their guest. She figured she should at least let him know breakfast was ready if he wanted some. As she passed by the washroom, a deep, yet soft, masculine voice could be heard behind the door.

Ah! That must be him, She thought to herself. She knocked gently first, not getting an answer. Gently, Elisabetha pushed the door open.

"Sir Knight? I apologize for intruding, but there is.... Some..." Her words trail off as she looks at the man before her. He was dressed from the waist down, leaving his chest bare. Elisabetha has seen many physically impressive knights in her life, being married to Mathias for so long, but none had caught her attention like this one.

He was broad and muscular, with a light tanning on his shoulders and chest from having been out in the sun so much. A light dusting of freckles dusted these tan portions of his skin. His hair was short, but it looked so soft, especially with it dusting his chest, down his stomach, with a trail going lower... She whips her vision back up to his eyes. Oh, they were such a deep blue, like a pond, hidden within the shadows of the forest.

"My lady?" His voice was soft, though the accent wasn't one she could place.

"My apologies, Sir Knight." She quickly shut and stepped away from the door. Her face was hot and crimson as she hurried away back to the dining room to wait either for their guest, or for her husband's return. Elisabetha looked down at the tea and tarts on the table, before covering her eyes. How could she do that? She didn't even know his name!

At least she better understood the state of her husband last night.

The sound of boots stirred her from her thoughts, and she looked up at the source. Elisabetha felt her face get hot as the Knight in question stood by the table. Though his body language was off. Most of the knights she knew would be happy to sit at the table and enjoy a light breakfast while waiting to speak with Mathias. This one was... Quiet. Awkward.

Almost shy.

"Sir Knight, you are more than welcome to sit at the table and help yourself to the food," She started.

The man only nodded, but still hesitated, before finally sitting down. There was a noticeable creak from the chair, not being used to the bulkier armor of the knight. She did smile softly as he prayed before sipping at the tea.

"Dear knight," she started, "I fear my dearest Mathias never told me your name. And I take it he never told you mind. I am Elisabetha Cronqvist."

The man seemed startled by her voice at first, before his voice rumbled out, "It is good to meet you, Lady Cronqvist. My name is Gabriel... Gabriel Belmont."

"Belmont?" Elisabetha questioned, frowning as she received a nod from the man. "Are you by chance related to Sir Leon Belmont?"

Gabriel looked at her strangely. His blue eyes looked troubled, yet curious.

"I fear I am not. I.... I chose my last name. It was not given to me." He stated, and Elisabetha felt like she overstepped. Luckily, a servant bringing them more tea interrupted the awkward air.

She studied the knight further, from his awkward drinking of the tea, to how small the tarts were in his hands. The mood was less awkward and tense, and she relaxed, filling the air with some soft talking. Every so often, he would add something, but she did most of the talking.

However, something on his left hand caught her eyes. A small gold band on the fourth finger... His eyes seemed to follow hers, and he smiled a dreamy smile, before talking about his beloved wife, Marie. It made her feel ashamed of both herself and Mathias for lusting after a man, who was very happy with his wife.

But something about Gabriel continued to draw her in. He had this undeniable endearing charm about him, one that had definitely made her husband smitten at first sight... Though something told her that the rainstorm last night had something to do with it.

Aw, well, Gabriel would be waiting for Mathias to come back with Leon to learn more about why they needed help from a differing Brotherhood. All the more for Elisabetha to learn more about Gabriel, before Mathias got the chance to.

Imagine if Elisabetha was a little chubby if you will…

[castlephantom]

Imagine if Dracula went in the afterlife to see Lisa, but he also sees Elisabetha.

That would be chaos and drama.

I'm curious on Alucard's view on afterlife for thinking Lisa and Dracula would be in remotely the same place.

Clearly he thinks every soul goes to the same abyss no matter what you did in life.

Though if that is true, I'm not sure if Dracula would be resting in peace when he risk meeting every person he ever hurt.

Leon: Hey, Mathias. Remember me? Remember what you did to Sara!?

And the list just get longer as time goes on
