No. [Alucard shakes his head. Finally, his hand has come to grip the hilt of his sword.] They know which ship you went looking for, don't they? They'll assume that I am returned.

[Death is something he wants to avoid if at all possible right now. Hector's made it inevitable, unless he decides to retreat and at least give Alucard a window to at least acquire a small crew.]

So they would kill for themselves, instead of in my mother's name. The only reason they have ever stayed in line is because of my father's power, and as you have made clear, that is already on the decline. Propping him up just....gives them time to pretend to be clever about rebelling.
