When: First starting the Game Summary: Richter reaches Dracula's throne room at the end of the events of Castlevania: Rondo of Blood. The two of them banter, with Richter telling Dracula that he doesn't belong in this world, and Dracula responding that it was humans who brought him there in the first place.

version (original) - [transcript]:
Richter: Die monster. You don't belong in this world!
Dracula: It was not by my hand that I am once again given flesh. I was called here by humans who wish to pay me tribute. Richter: Tribute!?! You steal men's souls and make them your slaves! Dracula: Perhaps the same could be said of all religions... Richter: Your words are as empty as your soul! Mankind ill needs a savior such as you!
Dracula: What is a man? (throws his wine glass to the floor) A miserable little pile of secrets. But enough talk... Have at you!
version (new) - [transcript][video]:
(Richter rushes to Dracula's Throne Room and points straight at him)
Richter: Dracula. Die now, and leave this world! You'll never belong here! Dracula: Oh, but this world invited me. Your own kind called me forth with praise and tribute. Richter: Tribute? You're a thief. You steal men's souls, their freedom... Dracula: Freedom is always sacrificed to faith, good hunter. Or are you truly here by choice? Richter: All I'm here for is you. To hell with your heresy! You're nothing but a blight on mankind. Dracula: Ha! Mankind. (throws the wine glass) A cesspit of hatred and lies. Fight for them, then, and die for their sins!
(Richter rushes to Dracula's Throne Room and points straight at him)
Richter Belmont: Death to you! The world is not yours to exist in! Vlad Țepeș Dracula: It is not by my own power that I am resurrected. It is the greedy humans who call me back. For might is the one and only justice in this world. Richter Belmont: Of all the self-serving claptrap! The same basic faith drives all people to seek, to come together, to move forward. Vlad Țepeș Dracula: However, is it not true that greed has driven the humans' development and that faith has led them? Richter Belmont: People cannot be ruled by power alone. The honorable, the loved can truly rule humanity! Vlad Țepeș Dracula: Foolish drivel. (throws the wine glass) I shall prove to you which one of us is right...with death!
(Vlad Țepeș Dracula: Playtime is over. Give me power...!)
(Vlad Țepeș Dracula: Impossible! How could I...) (dialogue at 2:53)

However, one night 4 years later, under the bright glare of the moon, Richter mysteriously vanished.
With no idea of where to begin her search, Maria Renard set out to look for him. It was then that fate intervened.
Castlevania, the castle of Dracula, which is rumored to appear only once every century, suddenly and mysteriously materialized.
Meanwhile, powerful forces were at work in the life of a man named Alucard.
The very same Alucard who had previously teamed up with Ralph C. Belmont to destroy his immortal father, Vlad Țepeș aka Count Dracula.
Alucard, in order to rid the world of his own cursed bloodline, sealed off his powers and entered into what was supposed to be an eternal slumber.
But now, that sleep has been disturbed and Alucard is aware of the evil that is once again arisen in his homeland.

And perhaps none but that bright and glaring moon can say who will triumph.

Take these with you.
(Alucard obtains the Holy Glasses from Maria) Alucard: What are these? Maria Renard: If you wear them, you should be able to see through the wicked illusions that surround you. Alucard: I see. We hope that he will be able to make it through all of this alive.
When: After wearing Gold Ring and Silver Ring Summary: Alucard finds Maria in the center of the Castle. She had confirmed that Alucard was right and that Richter was behaving strangely - but - she couldn't accept that he was doing this with his own free will. They agree that he must be stopped, but she insists that he not harm him. She then tests his strength to see if he's up to facing Richter.

Alucard: So you are the one who was controlling Belmont. Shaft: Yes. I am the dark priest called Shaft. This world must be cleansed in the forge of chaos. Alucard: Why did you make Belmont lord of this castle? Shaft: For centuries, vampire hunters have defeated evil with holy power. But if two vampire hunters were to fight each other... Alucard: But Belmont's power is supreme among vampire hunters. None other could defeat him. Shaft: Exactly. That's why I removed him as a threat by making him into lord of this castle.

So I converted him, brought him here to lure the rest, to force them all to fight and die. Alucard: But you never planned for me. And now you've failed. Shaft: Ha! Your human soul is frail as his was. You'll take his place-- I'll tear that soul apart!

The one who guides this world into destruction and chaos. Alucard: Why did you set him up as the lord of this castle? Shaft: The vampire hunters' holy power has allowed them to annihilate the wicked since ancient times. And yet, what if they were to turn on one another? Alucard: The power of Belmont overwhelms that of others. If the forces are of the same nature, you cannot defeat them before anything else. Shaft: Exactly... So I had him manipulated and appointed him lord, eliminating those who would interfere with the ritual. Alucard: But that is as far as you'll go. Shaft: We will see how it goes. As the final sacrifice, your mortal half shall be offered!

Alucard: 無事だったようだな。
Maria Renard: アルカード！よかった、貴方も無事だったのね。 Richter Belmont: すまない。俺のせいで、また実の父を…。 Alucard:: 気にするな。自分の宿命ゆえに、奴を倒さねばならなかっただけだ。 Richter Belmont: そう言ってくれると助かる。 Alucard:: だが、良く覚えておいてくれ。この世界に破滅をもたらすことができるのは奴じゃない。人間、自分自身だと言うことを…。 Richter Belmont: 分かった。肝に命じておこう。 Maria Renard: アルカード。 これから、どうするの？ Alucard: 俺の身体に流れる呪われた血は この世界には不要だ。人目につかぬ方がよかろう。 Maria Renard: ････････。そう。 Alucard:: では、さらばだ。もう、二度と会うこともあるまい。 Maria Renard: ････････。アルカード…。 Richter Belmont: いいのか、マリア。追わなくても…。 Maria Renard: ････････。ごめんなさい…。
やっぱり、彼を放っておけない。 Richter Belmont: いいんだ。だが、自分の選んだ道だ。決して後悔をしないようにな。 Maria Renard: ありがとう…。それじゃ、元気でね。
(Alucard arrives outside the ruins of his father's castle)
Alucard: It seems that you're safe. Maria Renard: Alucard! Thank goodness that you're all right. Richter Belmont: I'm sorry. Because of me, you destroyed your own father again... Alucard: Never mind about that. It was my fate alone; I had no choice but to defeat him. Richter Belmont: Hearing that from you means a lot to me. Alucard: However, you must never forget this: the one with the power to destroy this world is not him... Humans themselves possess this power. Richter Belmont: I understand. I'll remember your words. Maria Renard: Alucard. What are you going to do from now on? Alucard: The cursed blood that flows within me has no place in this world... I should find a place where I don't attract attention. Maria Renard: ...I see. Alucard: Farewell, then. We shall not meet again.
(Alucard takes his leave) Maria Renard: ...Alucard... Richter Belmont: Are you sure about this, Maria? Aren't you going to follow him...? Maria Renard: ...I'm sorry. I can't just...leave him like this. Richter Belmont: It's all right. But this is the path you've chosen. I want you to live without regrets. Maria Renard: Thank you... Please, take care of yourself. Richter Belmont: Yeah... You too, Maria. Take care.
