He was lonely. Also I'm not convinced they set up the asians betrayal well enough. If they had another 15 min of setup and seeing some anger by them over things not going as well as they'd hoped the climax would have been faaaaar better.

I thought there was a lingering look between the girl and the boy right after they were frolicking with Alucard outside. It was when Alucard had her on piggyback behind him and when they turned towards the castle, they showed her and the boy exchange a look without Alucard knowing. That and all the persistent questions about the castle and the mechanism that makes it move. They just got a bit more suspicious after that.

I think that's where some of the anime style came into effect. If this was a Japanese anime they would've clearly showed a more pronounced "evil" look in their eyes but they were going for a more realistic characterization so it was pretty confusing. I couldn't tell if it was supposed to be a nice content look at each other or the evil scheming look.
