Yui looked at the blonde woman in the eye deeply, in a curious manner. The woman replied, with a smile, '' I am…Christa…'' though she didn't seem as if she believed this, Yui could tell.

''Why is it that you don't seem convinced of your own answer, then?'' Yui shyly asked. ''Is your name really Christa?'' It wasn't an accusation, Yui was embarrassed by how she had treated Christa previously, so now she was back to being timid.

''It really is hard to explain, Yui, and even if I did tell you the whole story… Well, you would be the first one to know besides your-'' Christa stopped herself abruptly. She instead said, '' All right, Yui, I will explain. But you have to promise- no, swear that you will not tell this to anyone-not even Alex.'' Yui considered Christa's conditions, and after about two long minutes of pondering whether she really wanted to know, she said, ''I swear that whatever you tell me, Christa, I won't repeat to anyone. Not even to Alex.'' Christa seemed weary of Yui's answer, clearly not expecting the child to want knowledge about a past that was so long ago erased to prevent Yui from suffering, to not contradict Beatrix's wish of remaining a nobody for Yui.

''All right…Where should I start?''

''Um, from… the beginning?'' Yui suggested. Obviously she didn't know that vampires were centuries old. So Christa interpreted Yui's answer as : the beginning of how….um,well Christa still didn't know where to begin. So she just began where she thought proper.

''About five centuries ago, on a winter night of January, a lady who married a duke from one of the wealthiest families in the country gave birth to a child who would herself become the bride of a man from a wealthy family as well. The woman was rapturous about her new life as a mother, for she viewed parenting as a blessing from God. However, she did not know she had given birth to a girl who would develop a demon's heart, literally. This was because the girl's father was a demon himself, and so his genes were inherited by the girl.

''In fact, the girl's father was the Demon Lord, lord of all the demons from the underworld which Christians refer to as hell. The girl, receiving much love from her mother but too much pressure from her father, grew up to be a conceited , selfish, cruel, and very greedy woman. She married her way up the social ladder, by seducing the Vampire King and getting him to marry her, despite her relationship with the King's brother, which, of course, the King did not know about during his time married to the woman. The woman…had three children. They were born as vampires, of course, but they weren't one bit demonic, as Cor- th-the woman, was.'' Unfortunately, Christa realized too late that her slip of tongue had startled Yui, leading her to realize whom this story was about. But Yui, surprisingly, didn't say anything. She just expected Christa to explain in detail later. All Yui wanted right now was the answer to her one question, and she knew that if she waited, her patience would be rewarded.

Christa resumed on narrating, ''Where was I? Oh, yes, so, well, the woman had three children but they weren't demons as she was. Unfortunately for the woman, she wasn't the first bride who gave birth to a child who was supposedly the King's. Instead, the second of the King's three brides was the first one to give birth to his first male child. The first child of many more to come.''

Yui smiled, sure, it was somehow unusual for a man to have three wives but the idea of the male child having many siblings to play with sounded beautiful to her. Christa seemed to read Yui's thoughts and so she quickly added,

''Which was- how do I put it- well, not a tragedy, but an unfortunate event since, while the Demon Lord's daughter gave birth to three children-they were triplets- the first bride gave birth to…um, three children as well. The third bride gave birth to one child, a male, also. The Demon Lord's daughter was jealous of the second bride for giving birth to the first child, since she wanted one of her own sons to be the next in line for the throne, or the successor of the King. Being taught herself to always be the best, she put a lot of pressure on the eldest of her sons, so that one day he could be the next King for being the best of all his brothers.

''At the same time, she harassed the second bride, accusing her of giving birth to an useless child who would never succeed at ruling the entire population of vampires. This caused the second bride to put herself pressure on the oldest of her children, thus neglecting her second son while she mainly focused on the eldest, refusing to let Cornelia's eldest child become King for being the best of all the King's sons.

''This was a mistake, I mean the neglecting of the second oldest of her children, because he grew up thinking his mother did not want him, so he, vengeful, decided to hire a vampire hunter to kill his mother, who, in the son's eyes, did not deserve to live. The mother laid, bleeding, on the garden of the mansion where the King's sons inhabited. When the now grown-up man walked over to where his mother was, on the grass, which was wet with the crimson liquid of blood, the mother said:

'' 'You have always thought…that I…have been hostile to you….because-I-I…hav-haven't been affectionate…to you….or paid much…attention to…you…but the truth is…I love y-y-you…My son, I refused….to be….affectionate….and kind….to you….so that w-w-way…you would gr-grow up…..to be a-a… strong man who wouln't….let others use you….like they used m-m-me… I always knew….your br-brother….would never make….it as king….he….wasn't built for it…but y-you always showed such ….solemnity….responsability…integrity….an-and leadership…I know you will make it….Goodbye, de-d-dear…'

'' Those were her last words, or so her son thought.

''The compunction that filled him for ordering the murder of his mother made him shut his doors, and taking his mother's words to heart, never let anyone use him or take advantage of him by acting hostile. The son's heart darkened with regret, and he never forgave himself for killing his own blood. He promised himself he would be the best of his brothers, and he would take aversion to anyone who was kind to him, thinking they only acted that way because it was to their own interest to befriend the possible successor of the Vampire King.

''Nevertheless, the mother didn't die, not completely, anyway.'' Christa paused the memories that came flooding back to her and sighed deeply. ''Yui…this may bother you somehow, but listen very carefully. Do you remember there were three wives?'' Yui nodded reluctantly, and tried to interpret where this was leading to answering her one simple question.

''All right. Well, this may sound weird, but I am both the second and third of the King's brides.''

Author's note:

Okay, so I know I wrote for the summary of this fanfic that Yui will be found by a Sakamaki or Mukami,right?
