HELLSING THE BENEDICTION CHAPTER 4: SERAPHIM
It's the first of the month, and Benedict joins his Master, Sir Integra, for their scheduled meeting for tea, where his registration status and progress are discussed in great detail. The powers that be have Benedict on strict observation. They demand that Integra demonstrate complete control over such an unheard-of phenomenon as a trueborn vampire and prove that he is an asset to one day serve as a weapon to the country. Furthermore, he must show complete and unquestionable dedication to the Crown, the government, and the church. Almost like a Knight. But can vampires become such a thing?
Sometime later, a sleeping Benedict is visited by an angel with no wings.
Upon opening his eyes, he finds that he's somehow all the way upstairs in his attic kingdom, where the old antique mirror shows yet another reflection that isn't entirely his own.
40 years after the events in London, the reigning Regime does not posses the welcoming spirit as their predecessor. The weapons of Hellsing are heavily scrutinized and restricted due to pressures from the British Government and public. A breaking point of political tension being when news of the first natural born vampire to survive at birth is now an inhabitant of the England. Now he must be endeared to the Royal family to grant him a permanent registration and to be seen as an asset to the state, as there is no existing contract that cover the birth of a pure bred vampire.
