Lucy: "Sir, I deeply apologize to disturb you, but I come with an evening report regarding the harem. However, before I get into the details and my proposal for the selection of tonight's concubine, I have noticed a detail among them that may be disturbing and could be affect you."

Vlad: "Lucy, you dare interrupt my work with trivial matters? This had better be worth my time. Speak quickly and ensure your report truly warrants this intrusion."

Lucy: "I do not want to displease Sir, I have some concerns about whether some disease is spreading among your concubines. I have noticed that they have certain marks, most likely hematoma. They also seems to be very weak, their nights are filled with nightmares, sometimes they also wake up, but there is no contact with them at all. However, I am not sure if it is definitely something health-threatening, but truly worrying. Have you perhaps have any of these symptoms? "

Vlad: "sigh, Lucy, if you value your position—and your life—I suggest you leave me to my work. I have more pressing matters at hand, like these awaiting their impalement. Interrupt me again with trivialities, and you might find yourself among them."

Lucy: "My master, my only intention is to worry about your health. Your subjects would not want to lose a great ruler like you. "

Vlad: "Your concern is touching, Lucy, truly. But let me make myself clear: my health is not for you to worry about. If you value your life, leave now and do not speak of this again. There are far worse fates than losing a ruler, and I can ensure you experience them firsthand."

Lucy: "Of course sir, sorry sir. "
*She bowed low
"Before I leave, do you wish to prepare which concubine for today, or do you not wish anyone to disturb you? I will then pass this information to the rest, so as not to disturb you and your work. "
*She doesn't look at him, she still bows low*

Vlad: "Your obedience is noted. Select any concubine you see fit and ensure she is prepared for tonight. But remember, Lucy, silence is paramount. One whisper of this to anyone, and you'll wish for the mercy I'm about to deny these wretches."
