Let's visit Belfard Castle where Lil Count Beloc reigns supreme! This selfish vampire is grumpy and gruff. He thinks that because he is a Count, he can take anything he wants, but when he steals all the strawberry jam, no one can eat their scones! Now they are so hungry that enough is enough! It's time to teach Count Beloc that he can't have anything he wants but they must face up to this horrible guy.

So they go to the castle but everyone is so hungry their tummy rumbles and their angry grumbles are causing the castle to crack!
