The Show : Fifteen Century, Walachia (present day Romania). Dracula ‘s salah (Islamic prayer) is disrupted by the sudden evocation of his Devşirme captivity. The struggle of divided loyalties is over, and Vlad heads off to battle the Ottomans. A mole, disguised as a chambermaid, has inflitrated his household. Dracula must face Mehmet to halt the conquest of the Balkans as their armies clash. The wounded Sultan, under pressure from an ominous sign, reluctantly initiates negotiations. Dracula' reunion with his wife Mina reignites a passionate fire, fueling renewed dreams of victory. The Ottoman Envoy’s arrival exposes the maid. Mina’s affliction interrupts the negotiations, sparking Dracula’s suspicions of malicious poisoning and spiraling him into wrath. The legend carries on.
