Release Notes
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Charlotte, a young human girl, is abducted by Count Meier Link, a vampire nobleman
who is known to not harm humans needlessly. Charlotte’s father hires D to find her
and kill her humanely if she turns into a vampire. At the same time, her older brother
also hires the notorious Marcus brothers for backup.
The two parties (D and the Marcus brothers) race inexorably after Link. However,
Link hires the Mutant Barbarois; a group of lethal mercenary body guards. They consist
of Caroline, a shape shifter; Benge, a shadow manipulator; and Mashira, a werewolf. As
the story progresses, Link’s abduction turns out to be an escape by him and Charlotte,
as they are lovers. Through the journey, D talks to Leila and tells her that she can
have a life that someone like him could never have, the life of a normal human. They
make a pact, if either one of them survives, the survivor can bring flowers to the
other's grave. Near the end of the movie, Link goes with Charlotte to the Castle of
Chaythe, where Countess Carmila, Link’s patron, waits for them. Carmila, a ghost of
a vampire who died long ago, reigned supreme within the Castle of Chaythe when vampires
were all-powerful and unchallenged. However, her bloodlust was so strong that Count
Dracula, D’s father, killed her in disgust. It turns out that D’s reasons weren't
monetary and that his main reason for preventing their marriage is to stop them from
bringing another dhampir into the world. After going to the Castle of Chaythe, D fights
Carmila, who plotted to kill Charlotte and return to life. D, along with Leila, let
Link leave for the City of the Night with Charlotte's body.
In the final scene of the movie, D arrives at Leila’s funeral, watching from a distance.
Leila’s granddaughter greets him and invites him to stay with them for a while. D
declines, saying that he simply came to “repay a favor to an old friend, who feared
no one would mourn her death.” The girl thanks him, and D replies by smiling gently
at her, and leaves.
