Hello! This story is based off of 'Servant of Evil' by Kagamine Len.
This story was also inspired by Kaida-14Kage's fiction cowritten with Shimizu Hikaru. It's a really great story, so if you can, please read their story too :3 I thank them for allowing me to use their idea for my own fic.
WARNING: This was orginally my fanasty story for english. I had to add magical elements to it, so some parts of the story might be different from the song.
Please enjoy!
The Kindgom of Citrine, nicknamed the Yellow Country, is famous for its rare and beautiful yellow gemstones, Citrine. It is ruled by a kind hearted King and his very mysterious wife. Together they helped the country prosper and reach its greatest. They were really glad of course, especially the queen.
"Your majesty, isn't it wonderful? Our country is at it's highest, thanks to your hard work." The queen smiled sweetly, her delicate hands touching the king's briefly.
The man gave her a kind grin and patted her hands.
"No my queen, to OUR hard work. I couldn't have done it without you." He chuckled fondly at his wife., leaning back against his throne.
"To celebrate, we should call in the grand wizard. Maybe he will be able to tell us our future." The queen smiled again. The King frowned, stroking his beard.
"I don't know, dearest. The grand wizard is a fickle man, besides what fun will it be to know our future instead of walking down the road of decisions ourselves?" The queen nodded but held a pout.
"But your majesty, we must find out if our kingdom will forever be at the top. That way we can prepare ourselves." She argued, the King pondered for a moment before sighing.
"Alright, we shall consult the grand wizard." He turned to a guard and the latter nodded quickly before leaving the room.
The grand wizard arrived at the castle immediately, he nodded his head in respect.
"Your highnesses, it's an honor to meet you. Now tell me, how can I help you both." He said in a soft voice, the tone held wisdom and experience in it.
"Grand wizard, please tell us the future. Will this glorious country continue its reign?" The queen said with lust. The sorcerer stiffened slightly but merely nodded.
"Very well." He sighed and brought out a wand. He muttered words of German under his breath and waved the wand with flourish.
The King and Queen's eyes widen in awe as a ball of silver light was concentrated in front the magician.
"Your highnesses, my magic tells me that you will be blessed with children in a year!" The wizard looked up in excitement. The queen's hands found their way to cover her mouth as a shriek of happiness escaped her.
"That it wonderful news, my dear queen! Tell me grand wizard, what will my children look like?" The King laughed in bliss.
"Twins, your majesty, two handsome, young lads. With eyes of blue and violet and dark raven hair." The wizard's eyes drifted closed in concentration, his brows furrowing, and forehead sleek with sweat.
"But wait! That is not all." He yelled and the royal couple stopped their celebration.
"What! Is there more?" The queen leaned closer, waiting in anticipation. The wizard frowned before continuing in a sober voice.
"This country will prosper no more. Those children shall be your demise. And-"He was stopped by a loud thump. The queen was standing angrily.
"Nonsense! Grand wizard, why are you spouting such bad luck? Our country will never fall into ruins." She hissed and the king remained silent in his seat.
"But, your highness, I am only speaking the truth. Magic doesn't lie." The wizard held his ground firmly. The queen growled and pointed at the man accusingly.
"Nonsense! Your magic must be corrupted. It's full of lies. His majesty and I worked very hard to build a kingdom. It will not collapse!" The grand wizard narrowed his eyes.
"It seems I am not needed here anymore. Now excuse me, I shall take my leave." The man turned around abruptly and headed for the doors.
"Wait!" The wizard began turning but gasped as his abdomen throbbed painfully. He looked down in horror at the sharp blade embedded into his flesh. A soldier was standing in front of him, holding the weapon's hilt with an emotionless expression.
He dropped his wand.
"I'm sorry, my dear wizard. Your magic is tarnished and tainted with darkness. I cannot have you wander around the kingdom, telling people awful lies." The queen grinned was filled with madness and the wizard finally understood.
The soldier pulled the blade out with force and t he wizard collapsed onto the red carpet with a soft thud. He grunted as crimson began pouring out of the wound, wasting away his life without mercy.
"I see, that's your true colors, isn't it your highness, very well…." He forced a smirk on his face and lifted his hands. They trembled from blood loss but he didn't stop until his fingers touched his warm blood.
The wizard lifted his bloodied fingers and hastily formed a magic circle.
"W-what are you doing?" The queen hissed with a hint of fear. The man was a wizard after all.
"I shall curse one of your children. He shall be born with a birthmark of this design. That boy shall be the one to bring destruction to YOU and your evil kingdom!" He explained and then began chanting a spell rapidly under his breath. The queen's eyes widen as the air around the magician began stirring and glowing in red.
"Guards! Guards! Kill him! Kill him now!" She ordered. The soldier from before nodded quickly and lifted his sword.
However the spell had already been completed. The wizard smiled sadly; this way…the queen will not prevail. He looked up at the queen in triumph.
"You have lost, my queen."
Those were his last words the soldier's sword buried deep into his neck. And the grand wizard was no more.
"Q-queen! What have you done?" The King had finally regained his senses and looked at the bloody mess in horror. The queen smiled sadly and held the King close.
"Your majesty, it had to be done. The wizard was mad, it we didn't kill him, he would lie to our whole country. We can't have that, now can we?" She purred before signaling the guard to dispose of the dead sorcerer.
"I-I supposed, but what if his magic is true? Our sons will be cursed to ruin us?" He stuttered, placing his hands on his beloved's stomach.
"Don't worry your majesty, that wizard is a liar. Our children will not be our demise….I will see to it." She smiled wickedly, patting her own stomach.
A year later, the King stood outside his royal bedroom, pacing back and forth anxiously. Today was the day.
"Your majesty! It's over!" A maid emerged from the room, panting hard, but otherwise seemed really pleased.
"And?" He bellowed, rushing into the room after the maid.
"Twins, your majesty! Two healthy little boys." She said and rushed over to help the queen from her bed.
Twins? Boys…that sounds familiar….The king frowned, rousing through his memories. He swore he heard those words before….he was interrupted from his thoughts by a soft grunt.
"Dearest queen, are you alright?" The king exclaimed running over to his wife's side.
"I'm quite alright, your majesty. May I see them?" She looked at the maid and the latter nodded, bringing two bundles to the royal couple.
Inside the blankets, held two beautiful little boys. Their eyes were still shut and tiny tuffs of raven black hair can be seen on the top of their heads.
"They are adorable. They have your eyes, your majesty." The queen sighed.
"And your hair, my beloved." The king put a hand on one of the twin's head.
The queen frowned when she caught sight of something out of place near the elder boy's shoulder. She moved the blanket away and gasped when she saw the imprint of the soft baby flesh.
"Your majesty, this is…!" She looked up at the man in horror. She held up the boy for the man to see. To the right of the child's shoulder was a small birthmark that disturbed the smooth flesh.
A birthmark shaped like a magic circle.
"Oh no…what the wizard said was true!" The king shook his head sadly.
"No! We will not let this happen!" The queen said firmly. She looked around the room and glared at the maids.
"To all that is in this room today. Only the younger prince was born, the elder passed away, understood?" She declared and the maids nodded meekly, afraid of the consequences if they didn't.
"My queen, you're not saying…" The king frowned.
"We shall keep him hidden from the public eye and when he is seven…we shall dispose of him." She announced with dark eyes.
"Seven?" The king raised an eyebrow. The queen smiled and stroked the elder boy's head softly.
"I am the mother of this child. He deserves to see the world…even for a few years. I will not take that away from him."
The king looked away. He loved his queen dearly…
"Alright…the successor to my throne shall be the younger boy and the elder…is no more…."
"Brother! Brother!" The seven year old prince cried out as he watched his elder brother struggle against the guard's strong grip.
"What are you doing to him? He's my brother. I order you to release him!" He yelled with tears in his blue eyes.
The guard remained silent and did not yield to the young prince's command.
"NO! Brother!" The younger twin screamed in despair as he watched as his brother was dragged into a carriage.
The horses made a loud noise as the guard's whip hit their hide. They immediately began trotted away with the elder boy inside the carriage.
"BROTHER!"
"What are you doing, let go of me! You are making my brother cry." The elder brother hissed at the guard.
"That is none of my concern." The guard sneered and the boy only growled and began struggling more.
"Welll, it should be! Father is dead now and he is going to be your future king!" He puffed, trying to look strong and furious. It only made the guard laugh.
"That boy? King? Don't make me laugh. The queen is in charge now. That boy will be nothing more than a puppet!" The carriage stopped and the guard lifted the boy by the collar.
"What are you doing? Get your hands off me this instant!" The child growled, trying to tear the man's rough hands off him.
"Don't worry, I'll let you go soon enough!" He smirked and began walking.
The elder boy was an intelligent one. He remained silently as he examined his surroundings. They were in the woods and he could heard the sound of water close by. Were they near a river?
He flinched when the guard turned abruptly and began running.
"Hey? What are you doing?" He growled and the guard scoffed. The man stopped again and the boy gasped.
They were standing at the edge of a cliff and the rushing water from the river was loud.
"H-hey….w-what are you doing?" He gulped trying to keep his voice from cracking. He WAS only seven years old and a child's bravery also had its limits.
"Don't blame me for this, kid. Blame your mother!" The guard said the last line with emphasis and let go.
"Wha-"The elder boy's eyes widen as he was dropped. The water was getting closer and closer….is he going to die?
The guard watched as the child made impact with the water, a loud splash echoed through the forest. He stood there for a minute or two.
Satisfied that the boy wasn't coming up any time soon. He left.
