Fake princess true countess

"Ellie, a descendant of the bloodkin, was adopted by the Roland family after her mother died, having secured Dracula’s protection through a soul contract. Tracy, the adoptive daughter, stole the star-silver pendant and framed Ellie for a curse. Her three brothers chained Ellie to an obsidian stele, extracted her soul, and flogged her. Tracy shattered Mick, Ellie’s companion, into frozen fragments. Ellie awakened dark power and was cast into the Boneyard Wastes. On the night of the Blood Moon, Dracula laid siege to Roland Castle. Ellie emerged from the ruins in a black lace wedding gown and left with Dracula of her own will. Dracula revealed her bloodline heritage, and Ellie embraced her true nature, vowing to make those who harmed her pay. The three brothers searched Ellie’s room, found her diary and hidden letters, and uncovered the truth. Tracy was exiled to the Death Desert. To atone, the brothers endured soul-extraction pain in turn, walked barefoot through the Boneyard Wastes while facing a wolf pack, and flogged each other with iron chains. They then crossed the Dark Forest, offering their most cherished abilities to the Dark Wizard in exchange for a map — Miles gave up his paladin’s fire, Link lost his magic and his sight, Huff sacrificed his strength and muscle mass. They climbed the ice-fog ridge and crawled across a black ice bridge to reach Dracula Castle. At the Blood Moon altar, Dracula performed Ellie’s awakening ritual. Miles raised the wooden bat figurine Ellie had carved at age six, trying to reach her memory — but the mark had fully activated. Ellie banished the three brothers from the dark domain with a blood-oath seal, was crowned Empress of the Bloodkin, and became Dracula’s wife. The brothers, broken and exiled, walked the wasteland roads as beggars, but still kept each other upright as they moved forward."
