Dark Prince: The True Story of Dracula Page #3

---

the world forever.

You had never

known another woman,

and yet you were sure

at that moment

you were meant to spend

your life with this one?

Not just my life.

All eternity.

Don't go

to the nunnery.

Your place is with me.

You're mad,

aren't you?

I knew

the moment I saw you...

as if God himself

ordained it.

Or the devil.

Surely he was the one

who loosened your tongue.

To win your heart...

I will accept help

from any source.

Will you walk with me?

I will walk with you.

You've given me back

my life.

Vlad Dracula,

after considering

your request,

I have decided

to grant it,

and bestow upon you

money and arms.

I order you to raise an army

of your fellow countrymen,

and to wage battle against

the Turk and all who support him.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

I will not fail you.

I must remind you,

young man,

your own father

tried and failed.

He once told me greed was

a stronger force than any army.

But I've learned there is

another even greater force.

And what's that?

Fear.

Stop! Stop!

You! Let him go!

Thank you.

Not that I needed it.

You needed it.

Are you hungry?

Bread.

We've got

fresh bread!

Mercy! Mercy!

I've done no wrong.

I've done no wrong!

Mercy!

Thank you.

Tell me,

who is that man?

Prince Karl.

Whatever happened

to the old Prince,

Vlad Dracul?

What happens to every

Prince of Romania:

killed...

by those who would benefit.

Come.

Those people,

what was their crime?

They committed no crime.

Then why?

Because that is the way

things are done here.

Take him away.

- Not any more.

- Friend,

talk like that

will get you killed.

What is your name?

Bruno.

Bruno.

Come with me.

We have much to discuss.

What do you want?

Guards!

Tell me.

Whatever you wish,

it's yours.

I'm the Prince,

and can make it so.

Guards!

Who are you?

Guards!

No.

Please, no.

I lived here once.

I am Vlad Dracula,

son of the great

Prince Vlad.

And in the name

of my father,

I hereby reclaim

the throne of Romania.

My only allegiance

is to you, the people.

My will is to end

Turkish oppression

and the betrayal

of those who benefit.

What I do will bring

justice and freedom

to all Romanians now!

You priests,

you're privy

to the thoughts of your flock.

What do the people say of me?

Not the common man,

people of wealth

and influence.

What do they say?

They respect you.

In spite of my friendship

with the King of Hungary?

A Papist?

No man of property

speaks ill of me?

Not in our experience.

You.

What did you hear?

I have heard that you

are a man

who is vindictive.

And you believe that?

I believe what I see.

A skeptical priest-

how refreshing.

Then you must have seen God
