[Netflix Castlevania] Why did Dracula let his underlings badmouth him right in front of him?
gpt
He seems to be a broken "man," due to his wife dying, everyone sees it. He was once an extremely powerful lord of darkness, and he still is physically. His mind and spirit are hindered by his grief, and to be fair it's been less than two years since his wife was burned alive. 

Vampires while inhuman, are still very human in regard to emotion, goals, and drives. Dracula has been severely changed by this experience, some of that has allowed others in his court to cross lines they otherwise wouldn't have. He knows Camilla is plotting right under his nose, he doesn't even lift a finger to stop it, or even address it. 

He tells a story at one point that he slaughters an entire town because a group of people insult him, it showed to me what a drastic change has occurred between the current Dracula and the Dracula of the past. That being said everyone still fears him enough to avoid a direct conflict with just him. It's like a tamed lion, it doesn't seem as ferocious and might seem almost benign, but only a fool would enrage it and then put their head in its jaws. Dracula Vlad Tepes is still the most powerful vampire in existence despite being in a more fragile state.
