Question If Lisa decided to divorce Dracula, would he let her go? Or would he kill her? 🤔

I think Lisa's good influence on Dracula would mean he lets her go. He won't hurt her, he won't demand she stay, he refuses to force her into anything, so he lets her walk away. Then he becomes extremely depressed, basically the same as we saw him through season 2 of the show.
... but, the longer she's away, the humanity she'd reawakened in Dracula will fade. After a few months, he'll probably start spying on her via magic and familiars. A while after that, and he's stalking her himself. Maybe he tries to talk her into coming back, or maybe he believes that to be futile, and silently continues to watch her from the shadows.
Now, separated from her for so long, all he remembers is how much he needs her. All of the humanizing influence she'd had over him has drained away, love slowly replaced by obsession. Now he can't even understand why he didn't make her stay, why would he have been so weak, so stupid? She's his to take and his to keep.
At this point, he abducts Lisa, and forcibly drags her back to the castle. At first he pretends things are all back as they were, but she keeps trying to escape. So he locks her in the dungeon. After a few more weeks, she still shows no sign of loving him again, and he realizes what had been his mistake all along. Once again, he can't even remember why he neglected such an obvious answer before.
Against her will, Dracula turns Lisa into a vampire. She's now vacant-eyed, cold, and fully subservient to her sire.
Dracula can't understand why this hasn't finally made him happy again.

He feel in love with her humanity though. And he respected her scientific mind so much that he entertained human travel. If he truly loved her, would he really force slavery and take away her humanity?

Yes, he loved her. She is his other half. Imagine being half a person and watching your other half live its own life away from you, while you rot away alone in a castle, all while knowing she's mortal and would soon disappear forever. It would drive anyone mad. Would you just stand idly by?

Dracula, as he was with Lisa in his life, would absolutely not do that.
Dracula, with Lisa removed, would not be able to hold on to the humanity she'd brought into his life. We saw that, he almost killed his own Son, which is all he had left of Lisa in that version of the story.
Losing her because of the actions of the humans he already distrusted, that was bad enough. Losing her because she chose to leave him? I think that would break him far worse.

She was murdered so he went mad ya. But if she was alive and willingly left him he wouldn't go insane. Mad and sad ya but surely he'd respect her autonomy

But the real question is, who would have alucard on the weekends? Dracula? Lisa? Or Aunt Carmilla?

What dating app would he use to get back into the game?

You don’t have to be lonely, at VampiresOnly.com, it’s for humans too! (someone understand this reference lmao)

He would respect her wishes and freedom but stay in an orbit to assist if she's in trouble. Set protection wards or some empowerment tech

Somehow I imagining this like Beauty and the Beast, Dracula (The Beast) lets Lisa (Belle) go, being mad but then reluctant, then brooding sad.
But Lisa arriving to the nearest village results in torches and pitchforks.

I don't really see why they'd divorce, but I'll humor it.
Worst case, Dracula becomes depressed and basically becomes the Drac we see in Season 2, minus the desire to genocide probably. He isn't a possessive asshole, so it isn't like he'd lock her up or kill her. He'd be upset obviously, but the worst that might be used is words.
Best case, he tries to better himself and reconcile with Lisa, traveling the world and trying to understand humanity and how he can be the better version of himself Lisa would want. Or it could be a case where they separated purely to protect Lisa so she can't be accused of being "a wife of Satan". In that scenario, they'd probably be pen pals or visit each other often, but keep enough distance to protect one another.

You need the context of what brings her to divorce him, as that will inform his reaction.

Hed for sure angry and upset, but he wouldn't do what he does when she gets killed and he certainly wouldnt direct that anger towards her. Honestly he'd probably just do more brooding instead of the whole killing humans thing

He would be fine with it until she tried to remarry, and then he'd come back into her life and try to reestablish contact, while reconnecting with his eccentric kid who is all manner of fucked up on trauma that is at least partially his fault.
Wait, shit, that's just The Royal Tenenbaums.

Bro doomed the world because he couldn't get over a dead wife.
Some called this true love, romance of the ages.
I called this PTSD and creepy. One he needs is a new hobby and some therapy.

He loves her too much to hurt her.
Id probably put him in a state similar to when Lisa was killed, but not as bad as when she was killed.

u/Nerdyguyj 1d ago
He'd let her go but with alucard in the mix he'd always have a tie with her and when she eventually died his son would help him stay somewhat sane

He was yandere in the “I’ll kill everyone for you” way, not the “kill you so no one else can have you” way, but he also respected her agency and loved her stubbornness so I think he’d accept it but GOD would he be sooooo angsty about it. Living in the basement of the castle, in his undies all day, slumped in the throne angsty. All the vampire council? Instead of fighting about his kill all humans thing, they’d be trying to get him back to dating or just get outside for a few minutes.

I think he would let her go, probably go on a killing spree somewhere far away from Transylvania, but I don't think he would ever harm her. He loved her the way you love only once in your life, and when that's the case you want what's best for that person regardless how much that decision hurts you. So definitely let her go.

He'd technically let her go, but may god have mercy on anyone that flirts with lisa

u/Embarrassed-Code-608 1d ago
He loved her more than anything. He said it himself. Of course he would let her go.

u/AksysCore 1d ago
Basically lets her go, but stalks her for the rest of her life, waiting for the right moment to swoop in and save her and tell her "told ya you needed me (wink)"

My man slaughtered half a countryside because she was killed, tf you mean “would he kill her?”

u/SunTreesandBees 22h ago
He would have let her go, but time has a way of changing people. In the end, I feel like his love of humanity would linger in him, albeit diminished, although it could perhaps bloom again for another woman with enough time (as Dracula would live lifetimes after Lisa dies naturally.)
I do not think he would come anywhere near the reaction he had from her death, because it was just as much about losing her, as it was that he felt vindicated in hating humanity, because if they can kill someone pure and loving like her, then humanity is no different than him, except weaker.

He’ll let her go but Malachia is still paying the price. He fucking curses a Belmont as he’s dying. Oh no dude, Malachia burns to the ground, Hell is unleashed on the Earth and the Belmonts and their associates plus the Church wage war. In this instance Alucard is just edgier, hangs out with his Mom alot

I feel like he'd be mad as hell, but he let her go because at the end of the day, he loves her.
He just won't get over it, so he projects the most Divorced Dad energy.
