Hero Artoria Pendragon
The two-day story of the Gawain brothers was almost the same as the story of King Arthur.
The important story of how they became vampires was, after all, that they had been given blood by the Ancestor, Artoria.
And, as for how the hero Artoria Pendragon became the Ancestor Artoria Pendragon, it seems to be because she drank the liquid inside the Holy Grail.
That holy grail appears in the famous [Holy Grail War] from F*te.
Well, the original is the one that appears in the stories of King Arthur, the Last Supper of Christ, and many other stories from the Western world.
Therefore, the Ancestor Artoria became immortal after drinking from the Holy Grail.
At a time when Artoria was active as a hero during the Crusades, Western countries were busy fighting against foreign races.
Crusaders were threatened by a poison invented by such a foreign race.
If you drink the poison, your body will burn when exposed to sunlight and you will have an involuntary desire to drink blood.
This poison showed great results on the battlefield.
Soldiers infected with poison can no longer fight while the sun is rising.
Also, when soldiers are injured and bleed during battle, they want to drink the blood regardless of who it is.
It is especially often used in siege battles, where the enemy simply uses trickery to drip poison into the castle's well.
With that alone, allies will suck each other's blood and self-destruct.
After that, once all the soldiers in the castle have become lesser vampires, all you have to do is destroy the castle during the day when the sun is shining.
Lesser vampires that are exposed to sunlight burn and disappear.
This is very convenient because there is no need to cremate dead soldiers.
During the Crusades, the hero Artoria, who was afraid of the poison of these foreign races, searched for the legendary Holy Grail, which was said to instantly cure any illness, and drank the liquid inside.
As a result, the hero Artoria became the Ancestor of the immortals.
After that, the hero Artoria continued to give her own blood to the poisoned Crusader soldiers.
The effect is to become immortal and no longer desire blood, just like Artoria.
However, if a patient is given the blood of an immortal who has been cured of a disease other than Artoria's, it will deteriorate slightly.
They become more vulnerable to sunlight and more willing to drink blood.
And among those who were originally turned into lesser vampires by poison, even after drinking Artoria's blood and being able to live without drinking blood, there are many who cannot forget the taste of blood.
After the Crusades subsided, such people would be branded as heretics by the Vatican and punished.
So, what happens to vampires who do no wrong and are not punished? They become ordinary European aristocrats.
By the way, the head of the Vatican, the organization that subjugates vampires, is also a vampire who holds a title.
Furthermore, dhampirs such as Mylene are the children of these surviving noble-ranking vampires.
Once you become a vampire, it becomes difficult to have children, so they don't use birth control.
When they realize they have had children, they are forced into the Vatican and educated by vampire hunters.
Dhampirs like Mylene are different from normal children, so they end up being treated as creepy and placed in an orphanage.
Well, even if they are placed in an orphanage, they are usually managed by the church, so the Dhampirs are protected and sent to the Vatican.
Well, even among the nobles who hold titles, there are many who don't follow the rules and drink human blood, so the current situation is that there is a shortage of vampire hunters.
So, what about Vlad Dracula Tepes, also known as Drake?
Drake and his duagthers have a grudge against the Vatican because many of their subordinates were killed by the Vatican.
Well, looking at the current situation in Pennsylvania, no matter how much Drake was credited with the Crusades, the Vatican also had to subjugate the Drake family.
Vlad Dracula Tepes' reputation as the Vampire Prince and the Impaler had already spread throughout Europe to the extent that the Vatican was unable to erase it.
In fact, even on Earth, when we think of vampires, we think of Count Dracula, so he must have been quite notorious back then.
So, after being rescued by the Ancestor Artoria who happened to be passing through Pennsylvania, the Drake family turned to the Ancestor Artoria's home country, the Kingdom of Britain.
The Kingdom of Britain was not Catholic under the Vatican, but Protestant under the Church of Britain.
The country is also in the hands of survivors of the Knights of the Round Table who have become vampires.
By the way, the head of the Vatican is the Pope, but the head of the Church of Britain is the Queen.
The Queen, who is of Artoria's blood, is currently the temporary head of the Church of Britain, but the original head of the Church of Britain is said to be Attoria, the Ancestor, the hero, and the true Queen of the Kingdom of Britain.
Well, since she is the main character in the story of King Arthur, there is no doubt that Artoria is the queen.
Even so, the Ancestor Artoria apparently told the Drake family to rely on the Kingdom of Britain if they were in trouble.
Using those words as a bargaining chip, Drake and his daughters won the patronage of the Kingdom of Britain.
However, Duke Dracula is labeled a heretic and wanted by the Vatican.
The Kingdom of Britain gave Duke Dracula a new title of knighthood and changed his name to Drake.
And to the Drake family, who worship the Ancestor Artoria like a god, was given the mission to find Artoria, the hero and the Ancestor.
Well, in reality, they just didn't want to leave the Drake family in Britain, where they were being targeted by the Vatican, but the Drake family was happy to take on the task.
In the beginning, they also have them take on the mission of attacking a ship from the hostile Kingdom of Castile.
This was the new information I had learned from Gawain brothers.
