They all took their places, the place before Terzo stared at the ghoul in front of him " what do you know... of her? " He placed a picture of her on the table, this picture was taken right after the operation, so dried-up blood and fresh blood were seen on the picture

Orpheus hummed and stared at the picture before grabbing one of the books of family trees " she reminds me of someone- " he opened the book and began to flick through it, his eyes scowled as he looked for it.

" reminds you of someone? " he raised an eyebrow confused at that " yes.. it reminds me of Elizabeth Bathorii " he glanced up at Terzo, seeing his expression change rapidly 

" You mean that song my father wrote was not just some weird lady he fell in love with? " he raised an eyebrow, questioning this multi-ghoul in front of him 

Orpheus nodded and found the page, his tail swooshing " I have met this Elizabeth Bathorii before, Papa- " he sighed " sadly it was on her death bed " 

" The song is from just the legend Papa Nihil had written- " he turned a page and took a page out from a folder, it was the lyrics to 'Elizabeth' " It tells the story from start to finish, of how this Elizabeth Bathorii was first seen.

Terzo leaned in as he finally began to listen to the elderly ghoul in front of him. 

Underneath the moonlight of old Hungarian skies
buried in the blood-drenched earth
These barren lands of ice
She was an evil woman with an evil old soul
Piercing eyes emotionless
a heart so black and cold

" The first paragraph of the lyrics is just how this human had met her, which is also told in the tale. " he began to read from the book " Under the moonlight on a hill, stood a woman, overlooking the Hungarian town she lived by. The town had fresh snow that had fallen. But the town she overlooked was on fire, screams and cries and pleads were heard. The closer I got to the woman the more noticeable her features had gotten. Blood on her face and her green velvet dress. It still looked fresh. Her face was stone cold no signs of grief spread through it like she had no soul for the town. " he looked up at Terzo, raising an eyebrow " the chorus of the songs aren't important until I get to the last verse- "

Terzo nodded very confusedly how this folklore could relate to the girl in the infirmary?

Her pact with Satan
Her disposal of mankind
Her acts of cruelty and her lust for blood
Makes her one of us

Orpheus turned the page and began to read further " Seeing her again by an alter in the middle of the forest, her hand slit and placed on a pentagram of some sort. Was she a witch who praised satan below? Muffled noises were heard nearby as I squinted my eyes and noticed a human tied up and gagged. This woman dragged this man onto the pentagram and raised a ruby dagger, muttering words of an ancient language before burying the dagger in the man's chest, probably piercing the man's heart. Muffled screams before the man began to spaz, a light glow emitted from the man as the glow sunk into the pentagram. This made him finally realise, she was one of them. "

" so she was a satanist overall? but- " he was even more confused " Alpha I don't understand- " he begged his ghoul to help him understand as he only had a small walnut as a brain so he barely understood anything.

His ghoul sighed in defeat " you will understand at the end of the story "

Our ancient countess was refused her desires will
To bathe in pure fresh blood
She'd peasant virgins killed

" We crowned her our first countess, letting her sink into the blood of the people she has killed for a sacrifice of our dark lord satan. She rose from the blood of the virgin peasants she has killed and got crowned as our countess and as the next Prime Mover. "
