(Picture Of Daisuke Vladimira Tepes)

After Rose showed the Cross students the magical door in the library, it was already time for dinner. Rose had so far made friendships with Yui, Yuki, Zero, and the night class students in one day. She felt rather happy, don't get me wrong, she was always happy and content with her brothers, but it was nice to have other friendships as well with different people, especially females. " Rose Chan?" Yuki asked shyly, Rose turned her head to Yuki and gave a 'hmm' in response." How many brothers do you have?"

Rose stopped walking right in front of the dinning room doors and put a finger to her bottom lip, while she was mentally counting in her head." 29, I believe." Rose said as if it were nothing and she walked in to find that she and the Cross students were the only ones that were not seating. She took her seat in between Kaito and Iori, while Yuki sat between Zero and Kaname in front of Rose.

While everyone began eating, Yuki asked Rose," Can you tell me their names, from oldest to youngest?" Everyone seemed to quiet down and Seiji smirked while he sipped his wine.

" Did she ask about our brothers, Imouto Chan?" Iori asked as he looked at Yuki with a bored expression, Rose nodded while she sipped her dark wine.

She cleaned her mouth with a white napkin that had a drip of red on it. Rose cleared her throat and said softly," Well the first born is Hajime, the second son is....Stefan I believe.Right?" She looked at Seiji for conformation and Seiji nodded." The third son is Vasile, the fourth son is Mamoru, the fifth son is Akihiko, the sixth is Daichi, the seventh is Eiji, Hiroki is the eight son, the ninth son is Kazuhiko, the tenth is Kenji, the eleventh is Katsuro, Masanori is the twelfth son. Then there's Naoki the thirteenth son, Sadao the fourteenth son, Tadashi the fifteenth son, Takehiko the sixteenth son, Yasuhiro, Yoshio, and Velken the seventeenth, eighteenth, and nineteenth son in that order. There's Sano the twentieth son, Kyouya the twenty-first son, Lucian the twenty-second son," Rose was cut off by her brother Cedric.

" Never play Poker with that Bastard, he's a cheater." Cedric mumbled, making his brothers and sister chuckle.

" As I was saying, Seiji is the twenty third son, Satoshi is the twenty fourth son, then Daisuke is the twenty-fifth son, Cedric is the twenty sixth son, Orochi is the twenty-seventh son, Iori is the twenty-eight son. Then Kaito is the twenty-ninth and last son. Finally there's me, the thirtieth child, and the only daughter." Rose said, while she looked unfazed and her brothers just sipped their wine. There seemed to be a tense silence, and Yui being stupid or naïve decided to break it.

" So basically the youngest ones live in this mansion?" Seiji ruffled his bangs, making Yuki blush, and he sighed in annoyance.

" No. We of the Vladimira Tepes family all live in this mansion, as I said before the elder brothers are either out working meaning that they are traveling or the are at our father's building working alongside him. The only brother that isn't doing anything is that retched buffoon Sano, and Orochi." Seji said all in one breath without looking tired.

" What exactly does your father do?" Zero asked, causing Rose's brothers to laugh. The brothers were all laughing and didn't even care to answer the question.

Rose shook her head at her brothers,and said softly, but loud enough for everyone to hear." Our father is Vlad Tepes the third, Prince of Wallachia. He is also known as Vlad The Impaler, Son Of The Devil Dragon." Rose wouldn't look at their guests' faces for she knew they would be afraid of her now.

" Your father.....is Dracula?" Ruki asked in stunned silence.

" I thought our last name would be enough to tell you that we are the offspring of Dracula." Seiji said impatiently.
