Castlevania: Rondo of Blood (1993 Video Game)

Atsuko Honda: Annette

Quotes 

• Count Dracula : [enters Annette's room]  Such a fine girl. Surely the blood of a beautiful woman will quench the thirst in my body.

  Annette : [holds out a knife to herself]  Stay away from me!

  Count Dracula : [chuckles]  What are you afraid of? In exchange for your blood, you can gain eternal life and beauty for me, can you not? Please, it's a simple matter. I get what I need, and you benefit as well. And then together, you and I shall reign over this world.

  Annette : If it means becoming... a savage, I... I would sooner kill myself.

  Count Dracula : [places his palm on Annette's cheek]  As you wish. However, what exactly makes me a savage? If my existence itself makes me savage, is that not the result of this world? Are not all the people of this age savages as well? If so, I should be a shining beacon for what this world wants me to be. The one to lead them, do you not agree?

  Shaft : My lord Count!

  Count Dracula : What is it?

  Shaft : There are intruders in the castle.

  Count Dracula : I see. Destiny can be quite fun at times. They've likely come to interfere. I hope you'll be in a better mood later. Mua ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

  [leaves the room] 

  Annette : Save me, Richter...

• [the player has rescued Annette in Stage 7] 

  Richter Belmont : Annette!

  Annette : Richter!

  [the two run over to each other and embrace] 

  Richter Belmont : You are hurt?

  Annette : No, are you?

  Richter Belmont : Nah, I'm fine, I'm overflowing with the blood of the vampire hunter, after all. I need to let a little out once in a while.

  Annette : [lets out a soft giggle]  Oh, well then...

  Richter Belmont : You head back to the village without me. I'm going on ahead. It's time to end this 100-year blood feud.

  Annette : You mean...?.

  Richter Belmont : Yeah, I'm gonna kill him myself.

  Annette : No, don't! It's too dangerous!

  Richter Belmont : But this is my destiny. Besides, his blood is calling to me. The path up to here is safe. Now get going.

  [runs off] 

  Annette : Richter, wait! Richter! Come back... Come back in one piece... Please...

• [the player rescues Annette when playing as Maria in Stage 7] 

  Maria Renard : Annette!

  Annette : Oh, Maria!

  [the two run to each other] 

  Annette : Are you all right, Maria?

  Maria Renard : Yeah! I'm just fine because I have the same vampire hunter's blood flowing in me as that man Richter! I think he's fighting someplace else right now.

  Annette : Richter's coming...

  Maria Renard : [looks down]  Oh, my, looks like you hoped it wouldn't be me to save you.

  Annette : Oh, no, that's not what I meant. Thank you very much, Maria. Come on, let's go home.

  Maria Renard : Not yet. There's still something I have to do. You go back without me! I'm gonna beat that vampire to a bloody pulp! See you!

  [runs off] 

  Annette : Maria!

  [watches her run off] 

  Annette : For Heaven's sake, she can be a reckless as Richter.
