~Meanwhile ~
*Soldiers seem to be confused as they're  seeking for Dominic who he disappeared~

R: As it seems you didn't leave eventually...

Al: No , but I'll ask you to give the mask back to me otherwise they'll realise me ..

R: They already are suspicious about you ...

Al: I already know that...

*Ruby places his mask back to his eyes, as she's doing that she then unconsciously is staring at his eyes*

Al:Hmm.... I think you start falling for my eyes ..

*Ruby then feigned a smile to him and turned to leave, Alucard then grabbed her hand *

A:I do not mind if you're pretending to smile...but if you are not falling for my eyes...i am falling for yours

*Ruby tried to pull her hand but alucard pulled her closer , he then leans a bit *

Al: Green eyes....my favorite...

R: Colour?

*Says , thinking she already knew his answer*

Al:Eyes....

*Ruby lowers her head*

Al: But sure....green is not a bad colour...
*Smiled teasingly and let her *

R: I seriously do not care about your preferences...

Al: let's go...we can jump out of that balcony

R: Not with that dress

Al: Why not?

R: Alucard....

Al: We do not have enough time for you to change

----------------------------------------------------------------------
S:King... Duke Dominic has been disappeared from the room...

*Claude grabs him from his neck*

C: How is that even possible? Didn't we have someone placed to watch the door?

S:We did indeed , but he also followed your instructions sir and quit the door when we were about to attack him...

C: She just made her decision to make her life more difficult.... she'll have two Kingdoms chasing her... search the palace!

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Al: Let's go

R: It will be hard with that dress...

Al: come on hurry

R: There's no way I'm going to jump from that balcony!

Al: Alright....

*He then takes her sickle and throws it from the balcony*

R: You didn't....!

Al: You just saw me...now if you do not want to stay here without a weapon and fight against them then it'll be better to jump so you can take your sickle too...

R: Alucard! It's not a joke... I can't jump!

Al: You were doing that since forever what's the matter?

R: Pfff.... I'll throw your head from that balcony too!

*Three soldiers approached them*

One is charging for Ruby with his sword , Ruby grabs his hands trying to keep his sword away from her , just then Alucard draws his sword ready to deal with him and the others. He nods to Ruby to let her hands so he can take over . Ruby does as he says and Alucard immediately blocks him with his sword getting Infront of Ruby to cover her . The second soldier is attacking too , Alucard now is fighting against two trying to prevent them from hurting ruby *

R: That's why you shouldn't drop my sickle!

*The third one does as well but knowing that he won't make it, Ruby attacks to deal with him .She seems to handle herself well until the second soldier turned to charge for Ruby , he managed to scratch her to her flank... exactly where the wound was. As fast as Alucard noticed that she started bleeding he ran to their direction *

Al: Let me show you the art of killing..

*Alucard's eyes started glowing , the soldiers were unable to fight him as he seemed to be more powerful , in a few minutes he dealt with them...*

Al: Why you didn't tell me that you had a wound?!

*Says as he is carrying her to his arms *

R: Don't make me feel like i wanna hit you... because if you weren't insisting to jump from that balcony, nothing of this would have happened...

Al: How did you expect me to know that you can't jump because you are injured?!

R: How are we going to leave now ?

Al: shh...

*Says as he looks around thinking*

Al :Do you think you can walk for a while?

R: I can fly too if that means that we will get out of here safely!

Al: Alright..

R: No ...no ... don't say "alright.." again, because last time you did you throw my sickle!

Al: Yeah.... about that....

*He whistles and 2 sec after a horse arrived waiting for them down from the balcony*

Al: Soo......

R: Don't talk ....

*More soldiers are about to approach*

R: Just .... forget it!

*Says and jumps from the balcony landing straight to the horse's back, after two sec Alucard jumps too *
