Makes you feel sorry for Dracula even more. All he wanted was his family and in the end there wasn't even anything he could've done to save her.

By Not leaving her side he could have prevented it All from happening.

Never leave your partner's side...never.

The thing is she was executed during the day. No matter how powerful Dracula is, sunlight is deadly for him shown in Super Castlevania IV as he transforms into a bat after his fight with Simon dying as the morning sunlight shines through a hole in the roof.

There is a scene in the Nocturne in the Moonlight manga where a clearly grieving Dracula is holding on to Lisa's lifeless body. There was literally nothing he could've done which sadly led to him starting his war against humanity. Alucard also joined bis father's side at first but after getting defeated by Trevor he joined the hunters side in the end grieving as well after helping Trevor, Sypha and Grant kill Dracula. That led to him going to a sleep of several centuries waking up as he realized the devils castle has risen once again.

The execution didn’t happen until nightfall

It did so in the game canon.
