Dark Prince: The True Story of Dracula Page #5

of softening the pride of youth.

And not only did you spare him,

but he spared you twice.

He's your blood.

He will listen

to what you have to say,

if you say it in peace.

I have no idea

where he is.

He's been given sanctuary

in my monastery in Snagov.

By whom?

By the very same priests

who condemned you.

They plan to turn him over

to the nobles at daybreak

who will then smuggle him

out of Romania.

What would you do,

Father?

What choice would I have?

How many men

are with him?

He's alone.

Why aren't you afraid?

Why aren't you begging for your life

like any other man?

Because he isn't

like any other man.

And I knew that from the moment

he was delivered into this world.

God save me, had I had

one moment alone with you,

I would have strangled you

in your crib.

You.

You murdered my father.

Because if your father

was unable to pay

the Sultan's ransom-

I'd be put to death.

For God has said

to the prophets,

there will come an Anti-Christ

that will promise peace

but deliver

only apocalypse.

My fight

was never with God.

It was with you.

All of you.

That is why

you are doomed, Vlad.

Because you fight all of us.

You fight your own blood,

your own people,

and your own church.

Because you are

the Anti- Christ.

And you are doomed.

Vlad.

Lidia!

Your father went

to the monastery at Snagov.

Alone.

I would imagine

for your sake.

Prepare the bath

with honey and spice,

as my soldiers

will return for the body.

And then?

Then it will be delivered

to the Sultan,

who wishes

to behead it himself.

Beheaded.

Yes. As you wish.

I want him buried

inside this chapel.

Your father was denounced

by this Church.

He cannot be buried

in this monastery.

Or you die with him.

Goodbye, Father.

I wanted

to thank you, Father.

You have doomed me

to wander the earth,

incorrupt and entire.

You've given me

eternal life.

Will you walk with me?
