Carter returned to the City of Ghosts. Its outside had become magnificent. No longer the crude walls made by Undead and a flimsy steel gate. It had a proper white stonewall running around the valley and a huge wooden bridge acted as both the gate and the defensive entrance.
The steel gate inside had been changed as well. It was now more glamorous with the sigil of Dracula in the middle of the gate.
As Carter approached, the vampire saw him and lowered the bridge down.
Delilah had made many of her lieutenants into vampires. Only the loyalest and strongest were picked. The rest still suffered the ugliness of the Pale Undead.
The Guard Commander, a vampire, came to greet Carter with his forces.
"Your Highness!" The Commander and his Undead bowed down at him.
"Louis! How is the territory lately?"
