Verdana Dubova

Verdana Dubova was the stout right-hand advisor and protector to King Lothian, King of Kyrnael. She was a strong and revered warrior, capable of killing most other warriors in the field of battle. Characterized by her strong feelings of hate and prejudice towards vampires due to her tragic past, her behaviour towards Countess Melyssia at the end of Three-sided Peace Conference on the argoship led to a confrontation with Alucard, which would grow to attract his especially intense ire for her. Not long after, she would find herself in Lord Valnataar's mansion, a suprise to both her and Alucard. The mansion would be where she met her gruesome demise.

## The Three-sided Peace Conference

During the gathering of the officials necessary, she, for the most part, maintained restraint and contempt to the likeness of the True Vampire Alucard, she however could not do the same to Countess Melyssia Alba Vanessia III, another obvious vampire to just waltz into the meeting no questions asked. Her emotions would boil suddenly to the point of drawing her sword at the Countess, without orders to do so by her present King, increasing the tension of the persons waiting. Quite suprised by the mortal knight's behaviour, Alucard offered words of peace and de-escalation, stating that "A fine day for peace such as this, should not be ruined by the feelings by those, who wish to bloody their swords for reasons none." She, however, would not budge to the night creature's words, but did heed the order of her King to stand down. Her thoughts would remain, in the form of glares of contempt and hatred to the Vampires present at the gathering. Suprisingly, she would offer no help when the Argoship started falling to the sea, which had lost its primary core power, due to the Wish of Gwenelyn during the events of the conference.

## The Confrontation

With the situation back under control, the Argoship managed to land safely back at port with minimal total casualties, bar the death of Gruumsh. During the commotion of the dozens of nobles deboarding the Argoship, she would try to sneak up the Countess Melyssia, weapon drawn. Alucard would catch eye of this, however, leading to him teleporting between Verdana's sword and the Countess' back. Alucard then jokingly asked what exactly she was doing - with no real vocal reaction she would shift her **silver** sword to the left side of Alucard's neck, threatening to kill him and the Countess and branding them as abominations, in need of culling. Alucard would not take her legitimate threats seriously, laughing it off and reiterating his previous statement on the importance of lack of bloodshed on days like this, to his suprise though, the mortal would not back down of the altercation and, even further, she pressed her sword to his throat, the silver in it burning him feverously. The knight insulted Alucard, stating that he would be gone in a second, and that he is of no real consequence in this fight, as she has killed many a vampire before him. She would then further press her sword into his neck, finally prompting a reaction from Alucard, where he would grab on the base of her neck in an attempt to scare Verdana into conceding. At this point Grey also drew his sword calling for Verdana to cease. Following this she immediately cut Alucard's head off with her silver sword. Seemingly satisfied with that and knowing the fact that her stunt has become quite public now, she walked away from Alucard's headless body and the Countess. Alucard would however not die of the decapitation by silver blade, his head laughed maniacally at the knight, before his form would collapse into blood and ichor, reappearing in front of the Knight's face. Now extremely agitated, Alucard stated his need for feasting on Verdana's blood until she was a husk of dust. She remained unsuprised and unthreatened though, sharing that she knows that the strike could not kill a Vampire that easily and that she didn't expect for Alucard to even be able to touch her, saying that he is yet one of the stronger vampires she will have the honour of killing. She, then walked away, unfased by the looming form of the angry vampire beside her, ending the confrontation. Countess Melyssia would not offer thanks to Alucard, though, further saying the he put on "quite the good show" for her. She then referred him to a letter of invitation to the realm of the High Society, before promptly walking away as well. Disappointed by the lacklustre reaction of the Countess and angered by the behaviour of the puny mortal, he would make a mental note of it to one day find Verdana, capture and maim her for her what she had done that day.
