Even after Alucard had allowed her to lay the first strike, Hakuei remained still for a few seconds, just gauging the other's stance. His sword had a longer reach than hers, which was something she would have to be careful about, but she had already sparred with her own brother. Hakuryuu preferred to use polearms, which had yet an even longer reach. However, she reminded herself, the dhampir had different abilities.
She had no plans of immediately using Paimon until he forced her hand. The ornate white feather fan was placed at her hip, tucked against her side, until she needed her.
People tended to underestimate Hakuei due to her gentle appearance. In contrast to Kouen whose talent was war and practically thrived in the battlefield, or Koumei who was considered lazy but hid a most cunning mind perfect for strategy, or even Kouha who enjoyed the thrill of the fight, Hakuei was the gentlest of the five dungeon conquerors among the Kou family. Even Kougyoku seemed to revel in fighting more than the other princess.
People also tended to forget that she had lived through a horrific rebellion that ended in the death of two of her brothers and her father, the current emperor's older brother. They tended to underestimate her bravery, which was precisely why Ryosai had even thought to...
The raven-haired woman's sandaled feet shifted slightly on the ground before she flew across the distance between her and Alucard, bringing her sword upwards to catch across his chest, though she anticipated his retaliation far before it would even connect and was already planning her next course.

His opponent moved quicker than he expected, not thinking she would be able to cover the distance between them so quickly in just a few seconds. To any normal foe they would have halted, enough for Hakuei to deliver her one and final strike, but Alucard was no normal opponent. At her charging figure, the dhampir took a quick step backwards to avoid the swing of her sword, not even raising his own blade to deflect it. No, he had something else prepared for her.
Sword held to point at the woman, the man took one step forward, almost as if he was preparing to spear her where he stood. But if she were to try and defend herself, she would find that the dhampir had simply disappeared into thin air, his blade nowhere to be seen as well.

He reappeared right behind her, as if he had phased right through Hakuei, flicking his sword upwards for a surprise back slash.
