His scheme works: Erzebet assumes she has been rejected on account of the age gap between them and, blinded by yearning and sadness, succumbs to the mad delusion that the blood of virgins will keep her forever young and beautiful. Droves of young women are subsequently brought to the castle, never again to re-emerge. Erzebet becomes visibly more and more demented and obsessed.When she finally realizes she has been the victim of political conspiracy, spearheaded by the father of her beloved, it is already too late.
