Where Death Slumbers

Synopsis

In his home at Castle Carbunculus, Lord Ruthven reveals to Noé and Vanitas that he believes that Charlatan was making an attempt to kill Lucius, the future Grand Duke of Oriflamme. Vanitas requests an audience with the queen whom he believes may be dead or no longer exist as she has not been seen for some time. Ruthven explodes in a rage and bans Vanitas from his castle and casts Noé and Vanitas back into the human world, confirming Vanitas' suspicions. Dante tells Vanitas that a Chasseur, one of the Church's anti-vampire unit, abducted a curse-bearer which had slipped into Paris and took it into their headquarters in the catacombs. That night, Noé and Vanitas steal the uniforms of two guards and enter the catacombs through floor of Notre Dame searching for the Chasseurs. They encounter Roland Fortis, who sees through their disguise and traps Vanitas in a cell and then blinds Noé with a flash grenade. Fortis injects himself with a green serum to enhance his abilities and prepares to kill the vampire, Noé. (Source: Wikipedia)
