The truth and photography.

The first photo held Dr "Jack" steward, the psychiatrist along with his wife. a nice blonde women at relativity the same age

They looked like a happy couple.

The second. Arthur homewood, or the recent rather Lord Godalming, and his wife.

Both the men had moved on From Lucy, yet to someone who really read between the lines it was evident there was funny going on behind the scenes.

Integra couldn't tell if the women were merely beards or genuinely lovers who were dragged in the polycule. it was however important for the two to marry form the "HELLSING ORGANIZATION" as that was during a rather repressive time for queer people

The third photo held her Great grandfather "Abraham Van helsing."

van helsing was an old Dutch man by the time of his second outliving his first wife. his marriage to the relatively his younger Miriam amarsterige was mostly a marriage of convenience . A protestant woman that he had to bed in order to keep the bloodline of the hellsing family tied with Dracula's chains.

had with them their young daughter. Integra's paternal grandmother. lucy whilemmia helsing

This remarriage was after the **** of van helsing's first wife. And long after her great Uncle.

she was holding their one and only daughter

Both looked equally happy.

Well, the age difference was rare in the upper levels of society that didn't do matter.

From reading Miriams diary It was easy to see that this was more of a marriage of convenience with her being most likely on the ace spectrum but being in a well-off family that didn't want their daughter to be a spinster. but she decent when it came to medicine and the human body ( for the time period ) and was hoping to be helsings apprentice. she was marrying for the security, knowing her suitor was not long for this world but needed company

Photo held A husband and wife presumably their children.. Both of them were smiling.

The husband was well dressed, with shining white hair, on his belt was a kukri blade.

She recognized her younger grandfather, Quincy harker. And this was obviously the very famous Harkers..

the harkers along with that damn cowboy Quincy all smiling, along with his son John. The boys would meet again in their lives several times each there was a photo as they grew older visiting at least once a year.

The boys would later meet again smiling in a rather grim circumstance.

John Morris in his Yankee "doughboy" uniform, and her grandfather in his British uniform.

They were shaking hands, smiling and crying as the need for trenches were over. That One was dated 11, 11, 11 armistice was signed.

There was several other photos. Depicting the multiple families or rather large cost continental family. Though not in blood, they were definitely united by a common foe They defeated, and a common secret of his life.

The Back of the book held a signature of all of the family members. Some neat. Some in sloppy. The Album was heavily encouraged by mina as she was a photography nerd. Along with her fascination with trains

Its Seems this boy was telling the truth, She had almost every one of these photos copies with her varies collections of Hellsing items, deep in a vault deep below the Manor.

Who says Batman is the only one who can have a cave.

Along with a flash drive in a safety deposit box, It could be released to the public upon her ****.

"And I just thought Quincy was just an exotic American stereotype to get an audience. " Integra joked with a smile and a bit of a sarcastic remark.

She definitely believed him now. But it was fun to tease. And her teasing was not unfounded.

It was at the height of the Western genre. The last of the frontier being colonized. 1880s were a atime of change in amarican history.

The British empire had yet to truly topple into the eagle mating spiral **** that it practically has. With England only barely holding Ireland's counties and Scotland. And whales. No British Raj, and all that years of **** and stealing of Indian wealth in the trillions as estimated was all for not.

(When the reds can do even more easier, better stronger..)

As a daughter of a Indian woman whose mother was alive during the partitioning, She knew at least off hand what atrocity the British empire could commit. She's still remembered the stories and her mother was meticulous in her diaries.( Also in a safety deposit box.)

Thankfully Julius was able to break her out of her rather morose thinking.

"Ha, yeah! Not too many Even remember him, he keeps on getting left out of the adaptation "

Integra smiled, letting down her guard this rare occasion.

"Can you blame them? If I told somebody on the streets that Dracula was killed by a a damn cowboy Texas,with a bowie knife and and a real estate agent with a kukri blade. I'd be committed, Not only that, but

That same damn cowboy organizing the fight against Dracula with a Winchester rifle at his side, likely high drinking original Coke and wearing Levi's .

It was now julius's turn to giggle "i know right!

it sounds absolutely bonkers , speaking of I do got some of the artifacts from that adventures"

He said showing off the weapons that she just mentioned.

Pulling out of Bowie knife,

A Winchester rifle,(How he hid that she would still not know until far later)

the Kukri blade great grandpa Jonathan used to keep the no life king down, hacking at his throat trying to saw the head off.

and American leather bound whip. Also Quincy's. Also was dropped from the original script.

Honestly, These weapons made her actually believe him fully.

Not even the other descendants of the harkers had those weapons. Sure they had photos but not the Bowie knife. Or the Winchester rifle. Or his whip.

Those were in America with Quincy.

They lost touch with the family during World War I, and especially during the blitz in WWII. Most assumed Quincy's family went with the rest of the millions that died in the trenches.

That actually allowed for an avenue of conversation.

Later

This was nice, their conversation was really nice. It felt like hours had passed. And a few drinks and refreshments were had.

For the first time in a while, integra felt like she could just be herself, a 22-year-old British woman with a family friend. A regular personShe didn't have to worry about betrothals or high society bullshit. It was refreshing like a cold glass of water during the scorching hot summers.

With having a long legacy like this? The Legacy of the ones who fought Dracula, It was nice to actually share it as a commonality with someone. And not just the vampire himself.

It was was there that the two began to talk more stipulations for his contract if he were to sign at the Hellsing manor.

Alucard felt something disturbing, as he watched his 72-in plasma screen TV

As if, something would irritate him once he learned about it. He didn't know what but he did know to be on
