Reima lands gracefully in-front of the Manor, almost immediately feeling that ominous power underneath him... Regardless, he wasn't currently here for that, he extends his Observation Haki over the manor to check for the people inside, finding a variety of Vampires and Slaves. An Elder seemed to be sitting on the top floor, but there was no sign of Ciaran, meaning that either this wasn't Vasile, Ciaran was being held elsewhere... Or she was well and truly dead.
Shaking his head of these thoughts he knocks on the door a couple times and waits, it opening a few seconds later by a woman in a maid outfit.
"Yes master?" she asks.
Reima momentarily thinks of Quelaag in a similar outfit but forces himself to focus, "I'm looking for Lord Vasile, is he present?"
...
"L-Lord Vasile?... Excuse me for a moment, I need to speak with someone." she says, shutting the door and speed walking towards the Elder on the top floor.
Reima taps his foot impatiently with his arms crossed, wondering if he really needed to go about it like this to find our where Vasile was... He knew the Elder Vampires definitely wouldn't talk, their heads so far up their asses they've become the new symbol for infinity.
If this doesn't work and the Elder doesn't talk, then he'd interrogate the subordinates... He could think of a few tortures that'd make even a Vampire cringe.
*Creaaak*
The maid opens the door again and bows, "Apologies for the wait master, I will lead you to Lord Roisin." she says, gesturing for him to follow her.
Reima follows with a nod, not bothering to even glance at the Vampires in the manor glaring at him the entire way.
The maid opens the door and Reima steps through as she closes it behind him, the vampire apparently named Roisin sitting behind a desk with a neutral look on his face.
Roisin "Come, sit." he says, gesturing towards the chair.
Reima could already tell this was a trap, but he wouldn't put it past this guy to do the villain troupe of explaining your plan before he kills you.
Upon sitting down a mechanism activates with a loud sound, *CLUNK!*, Reima finds his hand that'd been on the armrests locked in place by what seem like Dimeritium restraints...
Roisin grins, "I've heard much about you already... Did you not think I'd be aware of someone slowly freeing territory? You were too predictable, I saw through your actions and, have won as a result.
Reima slows his heartrate significantly which manages to make his face paler as he attempts to act terrified, "Ah, oh no... Please don't hurt me, I promise not to do it again..."
...
Roisin "Youknow, you are not as fierce as I'd thought... Maybe the reports about you were false, without your mortal magic you seem to be less than even a coward."
Reima "Ah, please, mercy... I'm but a weak human..."
Roisin raises a brow, "With those eyes? You're one of those Witchers." he states slamming a cat-school medallion on the desk. "I've met many before, and ended the same number, you are nothing compared to my power."
...
Reima was getting a bit tired of acting scared, this dudes monologuing is a bit too long...
Roisin sighs and slumps in his chair, "Regardless, I want to know what your plans were, who you are, where your allies are, and why you requested to meet Vasile... If you answer all of these satisfactorily, I'll give you a swift end." he states.
Reima "Ah... Please... I have a wife and children."
Roisin bursts into laughter, covering Reima's face in spit...
Reima somehow manages to restrain the urge of tearing the Vampire a new one and sighs, "V-very well... As long as you promise a quick end... I'm from Nilfgaard, I was taught that freedom under the Empire is the best situation the world could find itself in, and so, I wanted to extend this freedom upon other countries. I was so close, but you Vampires invaded... I needed to get rid of you before I could bring my plan to fruition. As for allies? I have none, I work alone. Lastly, I wished to meet Vasile to end him, I'd heard he was the leader of this city."
Roisin scowls at that, "That fool? Leader of anything? I can't tell if you're trying to be funny, or are simply unaware." he says, wondering when Nilfgaard started producing Witchers.
Reima "Erm, I really don't know lord... Perhaps you could enlighten me to the folloy of my plan before my end?" he asks as pitifully as possible.
Roisin grins widely, "Then, I will. Just to show you how foolish you were to challenge us. Listen, Vasile is a failure as an Elder, he is strong, but also mad. His actions endanger our race more than you ever could, making your actions counterintuitive... You will die based on a foolish assumption." he says, taking in the despairing face Reima had put on for him.
Reima "I-is Vasile e-even here?" he asks, trying his best to force out tears, but only moistening his eyes.
Roisin smirks, "No, I banished him days ago, none of us Elders have seen him since." he states.
Reima frowns, breaking his act with a sigh, "Is that so..."
Roisin raises a brow at the sudden change in attitude but doesn't worry regardless, deciding to see if the information Reima had provided was accurate. He walks up to a device on a table and activates it, causing it to start whirring and summoning a hologram of someone.
"HmmMmh?! What is it nor Lord Roisin? I've got a lot on my plate right at this mom-Ah!" she exclaims, pointing at Reima, somehow able to see through her blindfold.
Reima sends a glare at the woman, feeling as if she was the most traitorous scum on the continent... "Hello Phillipa." he says dully, causing her skin to visibly pale, even through the hologram.
Hm, bet most of you had guessed that Phillipa had allied with the Vampires.
If I missed anything please let me know, thanks!
