Drogo and Nicolae

Drogo and Nicolae is the friendship and sibling relationship seen in Mystery Spell.

## Overview

Drogo and Nicolae is a recurring relationship consisting of Drogo Bartholy and Nicolae Bartholy. The two do appear to love each other very much but don't seem to be as close as they are with their other siblings which is mostly seen in their own story routes.

Drogo and Nicolae argue the most out of the siblings and have constant disagreements. In Drogo's route, the arguing isn't personal but in Nicolae's route, Drogo makes it spiteful in contrast to how they were in his story route. Their disagreeing started in Drogo's season 1 where Nicolae was opposed to Drogo dating the player and was intervening between their relationship since he banned them from being together.

Nicolae wasn't doing this out of spite though and didn't want them to be unhappy, but was doing it since he wanted what was best for Drogo and the player and believed that Drogo dating the player wasn't a good thing and would be dangerous since he was a vampire and would often lose control due to his blood lust, and because their father Viktor Bartholy would be mad, which made Drogo want to rebel against him and date the player in secret. Nicolae was furious when the player accidently caused a car crash with her powers, which Drogo had encouraged her to use, and he believed that Drogo was a bad influence on her and scolded them. And when Nicolae found out about their secret relationship, the two of them began to actually fight out of anger, a fight that Peter Bartholy had to break up.

In Nicolae's route, Drogo simply didn't like the player and wanted Nicolae to break up with and fire her since he hated her, which caused Drogo and Nicolae to fight a lot since Drogo often disrespects the player out of contempt. Their arguing felt more personal as they would often call each other out on personal stuff rather than focusing on the problems in their relationships like they would in Drogo's route, where their arguing was mostly Nicolae scolding Drogo due to his recklessness. In Drogo's route, Nicolae eventually became okay with Drogo dating the player, especially after she became a vampire herself and the two didn't seem to bicker as much which shows that they can overcome the hatred of one's relationship. Drogo never came to like the player from Nicolae's route however and the two were never on good terms. Despite Drogo hating the player, he would help Nicolae out with stuff that involved protecting the player because Nicolae asked him to, which shows that Drogo will put aside his feelings to help Nicolae out.

Nicolae is more of a father figure to Drogo than he is a friend, which is what Drogo needs, so Nicolae can't be the friend that he probably wants to be with Drogo a lot like he can often be with Peter. Drogo and Nicolae also have completely different personalities which could add onto their spats.

In Peter's story route, the two get along perfectly fine when they do interact and both equally care about the the player, which makes sense though since the two don't really have anything to argue about there. But the two will occasionally argue which is mostly disagreements about common threats to the Bartholys and the household and how they should handle them.

The two fight together against enemies a lot and stick together, and often go hunting together which shows that they really do things together sometimes, but the two don't actually seem to hang out outside of the Bartholy Manor since they don't seem to have a lot in common, and their relationship is mostly on display at their house.

Drogo and Nicolae don't seem to be as close to each other as Drogo is with Peter and Nicolae is with Lorie Bartholy, but the two do love and care about each other, even when there is animosity between them. The two do fight a lot, like a father would with his teenage son, but that only means that they care about each other enough to bring these issues up and work through them.
