Arc 1: Act 3: the cursed princess and the cute brawler

"Love can be a curse and a blessing, you just need the correct girl or boy to know which is which."
-MigyTheWorld

================================

As the love struck princess looked at the boy clad in assassins garb she could not help but be curious of him, his genuine bright smile, his glistening gray hair, and his deep crimson eyes sent chills down her spine.

"PRINCESS WHERE ARE YOU!?" A female voice called frantically for the young princess.

"Alicia I am over here." She called out.

"Ah princess I am... PRINCESS THE MARK ITS GONE! BUT HOW!? WHEN?!" She asked with vigor And happiness in her voice.

The young princess then looked at the direction that Alucard jumped through, her eyes became happy and her face went red.

"Lets just say, an angel was bumped into me." She said in a happy tone.

"What?" Alicia asked curiously.

"Its nothing... let us go home." Irina smiled.

"-smile- As you wish princess." Alicial smiled in relief knowing that the princess' curse was now lifted.

A few hours later
(Castle corridor)

"Why do you look so troubled princess?" Alicia asked with a worried expression plastered over her face.

"Its just... I have never been able to present myself to my mother, father, and older brother before, due to my mark, I was never allowed to go outside, I love them Ofcourse but its just too overwhelming." She said with a hint of nervousness on her voice.

"You dont have to worry princess, I am sure they will be thrilled that your curse is gone now." Alicia reasured her.

As they opened the door they were greeted by the youngest staff member of the magic knights academy and one of the strongest magisters in the kingdom, Magister Caroline Arc Magia.

"Ah Irina darling, right on time, Magister Caroline said she maybe found a cure for your curse, is'nt it grand." The queen smiled with glee.

Queen Saphira Arilè Von Baristinne is the daughter of the neighboring Kingdom, she was at first forced to marry the son of the previos king but after she was saved from harm she fell In love with the prince and happily married him.

"Indeed this cause for a grand celebration." The king said in a happy tone.

King Auden Von Baristinne is a kind and gentle king, able to calm any sort of situation and turn into a friendly banter, he is a kind king that is beloved by his people.

"Oh... well that does sound great but..." she then proceeded to remove her hood to reveal he clean and curse free face.

"It was already removed earlier today." She smiled happily touching her face that Alucard wiped

"HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE!?" The king and queen asked in shock.

"I am curious as well princess, who is the one responsible for lifting such a high level curse?" Caroline asked.

Irina then had a look of love in her face, her eyes became starry, her face gained a reddish tint, and her body became jittery.

"It was a boy, he had gray hair, beautiful red eyes -the same colour as a strawberry-, silky smooth skin and he was wearing assassin like clothing, he so had this big satchel and 2 shinny daggers we're strapped along his waist." She gave a VERY detailed explanation.

"Gray hair, red eyes... Princess this boy you speak of, by any chance is his name... Alucard Voltemier?" Caroline asked.

"YES! HOW DID YOU KNOW MISS CAROLINE?!" She asked in a shocked and happy tone.

"He is actually staying and working in my shop and he is also striving to be a top ranked adventurer." Caroline smiled.

"Very interesting, Magister Caroline I would be delighted if you could bring this boy to us." King Auden smiled.

"Unfortunately sire he left for the adventurers guild and has not returned to the shop since, I am afraid that he would be exploring the town for awhile." She replied.

Before the conversation could start again a bright red light flashed in one of Caroline's pocket, she then took it out to reveal a small glass orb, this orb was used to communicate with people who are far away.

"Hello miss Caroline, are you there?" The voice called out.

"Alucard?" Caroline asked.

"Yeah its me, hey I forgot to mention that I will be going to Edelgard mountain, I will be back before dinner." He anounced

"Ok but be careful, the-" she was cut off by Irina taking the orb from her hand.

"H-HELLO SIR ALUCARD!" She yelled nervously.

"Hello... Irina is that you?" Alucard asked

"YES IT IS ME MY KIND HEARTED KNIGHT!" She said excitedly.

"Oh hello... wait why are you with miss Caroline... and with that said miss Caroline where are you right now?" Alucard asked.

"Princess if I may... *gives orb to her* thank you princess... I am currently at the palace Alucard, where are you right now?" Caroline asked.

"Right now I am at the edge of the forrest -ruff- hey cut it out, that tickles." Was heard from the boy.

"Um Alucard what was that?" Caroline asked.

"It was my new friend." He replied with a cheerful tone.

"And what is this new friend you speak of?" Caroline asked.

"I dunno actually, it looks like a wolf cub, it has black fur with red trims, one gold eye and one silver eye, and a little stubble of a horn on its head... why do you ask?" Alucard asked.

"... Ok Alucard listen to me, put the pup down and lea -growl-" was heard from the other side of the ball.

"Ummm I think I know what you were going to say miss Caroline and I just want to say... RUNNNNN!" Alucard screams.

"See ya at home Alucard." And with that the red smoke that was inside the orb vanished ending their conversation.

"WE NEED TO HELP HIM!" Irina said with a nervous tone.

"You are right get the guards and go ge-" the king was then cut off by Caroline.

"There is no need your grace, he may not sound and look like it but Alucard is very strong, Wolf class monsters are not going to be a problem for him." She reasured the royal family.

"A-Are you sure about that Miss Caroline?" She asked nervously.

"Yes, in the mean time let me check you for any lingering side effects." She then left the room with the used to be cursed princess.

Hallway

As the two girls were walking towards the castle's medical ward Caroline could not help but look at the girl, ever since she laid eyes on Alucard she has not calmed down since.

"So... you have fallen for him have you not?" Caroline asked the princess.

"... Yes..." she said with a red face.

"You did not even try and deny it, you truly have fallen for him dont you, but the question is why? you only met him a few hours ago." Caroline asked.

"Its his smile and kind personality that made me fall for him, when I was in the town I bumped into him, he saw my face and was not afraid or revolted, he showed kindness towards me, a girl he does not even know, a girl that had a curse placed upon her." She smile gaining an even deeper shade of crimson on her face.

"I see... if I did'nt know better I might have said you already thought of your futture together, hahaha." Caroline playfully smiled.

"..." Irina did not reply.

"Dont tell me..." she did not get to finish as Irina exploded in glee.

"Alucard and I will form our own country were we will be king and queen, we will have 3 children 2 girls and a boy, we will have a grand wedding where all of my relatives and his family will ne there and the one to wed us is moms trusted advisor miss Ilya... wait is miss Ilya and A-A-Alucard related?" She asked.

"Wow you got off topic quick, but yes miss Ilya is Alucards beloved mother, she is also the one that... aaaand you are no longer with me sre you?" Caroline asked the young princess

'Miss Ilya is the mother of my beloved knight Alucard... thank you goddess of good fortune for your blessings.' Irina thought to herself

"Princess shall we continue our walk?" Caroline asked the daydreaming princess.

"Oh very well, I am sorry for wasting your time miss Caroline." Irina said with an apologetic manner.

"Its no problem princess, now come let us see just how well Alucard has done." And with that the two went to the medical ward to see how Irina was doing and how was her curse lifted.

Meanwhile at Edelgard mountain

"Dang it these things just wouldn't quit! -slash- this will take forever!" Alucard said while fending off the pack of Stag wolves.

Stag Wolves
These types of wolves are amongst the Wolf class monsters, they are pack bound and normally hunt for food and shelter as a pack, the most defining feature of these wolves are the giant stag beetle like horns sticking out of their lower jaw, these are used to capture and rip apart prey.

Danger level: Alone: 4/10
                             With pack: 9/10

As Alucard was jumping from tree to tree he could feel a foul aura nearby, deciding to give it a check he took out his two trusty daggers love and hate, and jumped to the far south side of the forrest.

Upon arriving there he could feel the foul aura got strong, with caution in mind he approached the aura carefully only to see a giant orc with bronze armour, and a giant mace creeping up on a crying girl that, Alucard had enough of the foul aura and decided to jump down from the tree line.

"HEY PIG FACE!" Alucard yelled gaining the attention of the monter.

The orc king then turned around in anger, but once he saw Alucard and his demon like aura the monster began to sweat a river in fear.

"I-I-I... IM SORRY!" The orc started to run, but unfortunately for him Alucard was not as forgiving as those idiotic protagonists from anime who lets the bad guys go, no Alucard charged his mana into his dagger and slashed the air, it sent a powerful razor sharp air current towards the orc and was cut in half vertically, the terrified orc soon dropped down his body now lifeless and in two.

Alucard then looked at the girl, she has beautiful white hair, shining green eyes, but the features that stood out the most were her snake like tail and her scaley arms, she was a lizard beast man... well beast woman.

"Hey are you ok, are ypu hurt anywhere?" Alucard asked but the scared girl only backed away.

"Please dont hurt me, I did nothing wrong." The girl coward in fear.

"Its ok I am not going to hurt you... here you must be hungry." Alucard offerd her a honey bread that he made himself.

"..." she eyed the bread and took a bite and was amazed at the taste.

"Wow... th-thank you kind stranger, my name is Eliza Filzatore, I am a student from the Magic knights academy." She gave a small bow and smiled widely.

"Hello Eliza, I am Alucard Voltemier, I am a new adventurer, my adventurer class being Assassin and transporter, its very nice to meet you, hey if you dont mind me asking why were you here?" Alucard asked the girl.

"Well I am actually looking for a rare flower, it has multi-coloured petals, and it has a rose shape to it, its rare because of its beauty, but it has no medical application." She explained.

"So why are you looking for it?" Alucard asked.

"... some girls at my school destroyed the only flower I grew for my sick brother, he is a flourist but he got sick and is in constant medication, I was going to give him that flower but -tears- they, they destroyed it. -sniff-" she cried.

"No need to cry... is this the flower you were looking for?" Alucard fished it out of his bag.

"YES! HOW DID YOU FIND IT!?" She asked.

"There was a field of them 3 clicks due north, I found them while I was running away from a pack of stag wolves, hey can you go back on your own, do you need me to come down with you?" Alucard asked.

"No its ok, you have done enough for me, and I may not look it but I am a great mage brawler." She smiled widely.

"Ok i'll take your word for it... now I still need to find a rare herb." He was about to leap away.

"What kind of herb?" She asked.

"It can be anything really, just as long as its rare." Alucard said with a smile.

"Then I think you will benefit from this." She then took out a flower that was incased is blue ice, the flower was a pale red color and was in theshape of an orchid.

"Whats is it?" Alucard asked in curiosity.

"Its called an ice comet flower, it only grows in extremely cold temperatures, it ccan be used to heal a no. of illnesses, but its most famous application is for the sickness known as Dragon fire fever, an illness that was thought to have no cure, a dried flower can cost about 50 platinum coins, but a fresh one can cost about 100 to 150 platinum coins." Ahe explained.

"Wow... thats alot of money... are you sure about this, If you sell it you can be rich in a heartbeat." Alucard said hesitantly.

"Yeah I am sure, besides I have no need for money, I just really wanted this flower." She gave Alucard a reasured smile.

"Then I will gladly take it, and since we both found what we came here to find, I will escort you down this mountain, so lets go." Alucard said with a smile.

"Sure!" She smiled

Wolf king's trail

"So Alucard, what made you decide to be an adventurer?"  Eliza asked

"Oh, its because all my life I have been sheltered and made fun of because I am weak, I got tiered of it so I convinced my family to let me go and become an adventurer." Alucard said with a determined smile.

"Wow... well I think your plenty strong already Alucard." Eliza said with a slight blush on her face.

"Nah, unlike my father I who can carry 30 tons without a sweat I can only carry 21 without breaking, haha." Alucard laughter.

"-BUT THATS STILL INHUMAN!- O-oh well... that is very impressive." She nervously laughed.

"Impressive... well still not compared to mom though, she became a Mage saint at the age of 12, me on the other hand the only magic I can use is Void magic." Alucard looked down sad.

"-VOID MAGIC IS THE RAREST MAGIC ANYONE CAN HAVE!- w-well I am sure your plenty stong already." She reasured him.

"I sure hope so... but still I will work hard and keep at it, so that someday my family will recognise me like my older sister Catherine." Alucard said with a determined smile.

"Then I will be cheering for you." Eliza said with a smile on her face as her lizard like tail swung side to side.

"And I will cheer for you too Eliza, keep at it and I am sure you will be a great Mage Brawler." Alucard told the white haired girl.

"Thank you... hey do you maybe wanna keep in touch?" Eliza asked taking out a communication orb.

"Sure thing." Alucard said as he did the same.

The two then exchanged orbs and poured mana into them, the orb that Eliza was holding glowed red, while the orb Alucard was holding glowed blue, it ment that the mana flow between the two orbs were now connected.

"Here you go, and if those girls still give you problems then you can contact me immediately." Alucard said as he handed her orb back to her.

"And if you need help with other things you know who to call." Eliza said as she handed him his orb back.

Time skip
City square

"Well I have to go back home now... see ya around Alucard." Eliza said as she ran towards ber home.

"Bye see ya!" Alucard waved as he too went back home.

As Alucard was walking home he felt a malicious presence following him, he took sharp turns in hopes of loosing his assailant but he was persistent, so Alucard decided to confront him.

"Hey who ever is out there you have been trailing me for the past 7 mins. what do you want?" Alucard asked.

"Pretty good for a human." The voice said, a boy about the same age as Alucard came out of the shadows, he was a demi human, he has horns and a pair of goat like legs.

"Thanks, now tell me what you want." Alucard asked facing his stalker.

"I want you to give me that communication orb, it has the manna of my sweet sweet Eliza." He said as he began to drool.

"Ahhh I see a stalker... well I think Liz would like me giving her mana flow away so... no." Alucard said.

"What did you call her?!" The boy asked hetting very upset about the nickname.

"... Liz, I gave her a nickname since I know quite a fee Eliza's, and Liz seemed to fit her very well so-" before Alucard can continue he was attacked by the boy, but before he can land a hit he was sent flying by a seift kick to the gut effectively knocking him out.

"Whoops... better call Liz and ask if she knows this... guy." Alucard said as he grabbed his orb and channeled Eliza's Manna, after a few seconds the orb turned green meaning she answered the call.

"Hello Alucard, what's up?" Eliza asked clearly confused about the call.

"Hey Liz, sorry for calling you, but I was in a fight with this guy and I accidentally knocked him out cold, he seemed to know you so maube you cam get him?" Alucard asked the lizard girl.

"Well what does he look like?" Eliza asked.

"He has horns, and goat legs... he also has blond hair." Alucard said as he heard her groan on tbe other side of the call.

"I will be there in a few mins. Alucard, and do me a favor tie that guy up and if he wales up... knock him out again." Eliza said as she hung up the manna flow.

"...ok?" Alucard said as he began to tie him up.

A few mins. later

After waiting for about 5 mins. Eliza finally arrived and she had a look of annoyance and irritation in her face upon seeing the goat beastman.

"So Liz, do you know this guy?" Alucard asked.

"-sigh- Sadly yes... he was my Fiancé." She said in an embarrassed tone.

"Oh... wait 'was' your Fiancé?" Alucard asked confused.

"Yeah... my father and his father arranged for me and him to get married and at first I did kinda like the guy-" she began.

"I sense a 'but' coming up." Alucard said to Liz.

"BUT I found out that he had like 3 other girls beside's me and my father found out about it so he cancelled the wedding, but at that time he said that he fell in love with me and began following me ever since." Eliza said in a sad tone.

"Hey whats wrong?" Alucard asked worried about the girl.

"Its just... I thought I found the one, but it turns out I have found the worst one, It hurts." She said in a sad tone of voice.

Alucard then took out his red handkerchief and gently wiped of tears that trickled down her cheecks, Eliza looked at Alucard with a confused look on his face, but was greatful none the less.

"Hey dont worry about it, as a wise man once said 'Love can be a curse and a blessing, you just need the correct girl or boy to know which is which', maybe this guy is not the correct one for you, but I know the correct one is just there somewhere waiting for him to meet you." Alucard said with a kind and gentle smile.

"Thank you Alucard... well I gotta go back to the academy to bring this nutcracker back, and sorry for the inconvenience." Eliza said in an apologetic tone.

"No worries, it was kinda fun getting to know you more, well see ya around, and dont forget to call me sometimes if you meed anything." Alucard said aa he began to run back to 'Heavens Regalia'.

Eliza then began to wave and as soon as Alucard was out of sight she began to drag the guy back to the academy.

"'I know the correct one is just there somewhere waiting for him to meet you.' And I think that someone maybe you... Alucard." Eliza said with a smile and a blush on her face.

Heavens Regalia

As Alucard walked up the door he was greeted by Caroline cleaning her inventory.

"Ah Hello Alucard, you were gone for awhile." She said as she placed her duster on the counter and greeted Alucard.

"Sorry about that miss Caroline, I went to the forrest and got you this." Alucard said as he took out a sphere of Ice and inside was the Ice Comet Flower.

"THAT IS AN ICE COMET FLOWER, WHERE DID YOU GET THIS?!" Caroline asked clearly shocked upon seeing the very rare herb.

"A new friend traded it to me... so do you like it?" Alucard asked.

"Yes I really do... thank you Alucard." Caroline smiled.

"Well we should probably eat, we have a big day tomorrow." Caroline said heading to the kitchen.

"Wait 'we'? Were are we going?" Alucard asked.

"I requested you to go with me to the academy tomorrow." She said behind the kitchen door.

"For what, my knowledge of magic is very limited." Alucard said.

"What types of spells do you know?" Caroline asked preparing the meal for them to eat.

"Well IMPACT is one of my best spells, and so is BOOST and ACCEL, but the rest are all sinple spells." Alucard said while scratching the back of his head.

"Thats ok, besides I requested for you to be a bodyguard since we will be entering the forrest tommorow." Caroline said as she gestured for Alucard to come sit and eat.

"A bodyguard, yeah sounds like good training and a better chance to make friends." Alucard said as he began eating his meal.
