Story of Evil
Summary: The "Daughter of Evil" stories, told through written format instead of through PVs. Fourteen years ago, the Kingdom of Yellow was blessed with the birth of the royal children, Rin and Len. At an early age, however, the twins were separated, and Len stripped of his title. Intent on staying by his sister, Len became a servant at the castle, vowing to do anything for his sister, the new queen.

Story One: Daughter of Evil
-----------------
"It's time for your snack, My Lady," Len smiled. He entered his twin's room, carrying a tray with a slice of cake and a glass of milk balanced on top.
Rin was already sitting at her table. "Ah, Len. For a moment, I thought you'd be late."
"Never, My Lady," Len chuckled, setting down the tray. He unloaded the plate and glass, setting the silently in front of Rin. He bowed, tucking the tray under an arm. "Is there anything else you require?" he asked his sibling.
Rin was quiet for a moment for a moment. "Yes, actually. Would you sit down?"
Len, a little surprised by his sister's directness, obeyed. "What is it?" he asked, leaning forward on his arms, smiling lightly at her.
Rin cleared her throat. "I want you to go to the Land of Green for me," she stated in a business-like tone. "And investigate some rumors I heard."
"What would those be, My Lady?" Len questioned, leaning back in his chair. His sister was known for her impulsiveness.
"That the Prince of Blue has been courting some woman there," Rin replied bitterly, expression miffed. "I want you to either prove or disprove these rumors. I'll have more orders for you afterwards," she instructed.
Len sighed, knowing that the Prince of Blue was the one subject that his sister would not budge on. "All right, Sister," he said with a slight nod. "I'll leave immediately."
"Good," Rin smiled, glad that she'd gotten her way. "Tell the stable boy to get you a fast horse. Come back soon, Len."
Len nodded once, stood, and left the room. Before he closed the door, he bowed his head to his sister, whispering a quiet "My Lady" before going to pack his few belongings.
-----------------
Rin tapped her foot in impatience. Len had been gone for five whole days. Not to mention that the servant that had taken his place was always late with her mid-afternoon snack – always! Honestly, was Len the only trustworthy servant in this whole place?
The door opened, and in entered her favorite servant. "Len!" she greeted exuberantly. "Any news?"
Len smiled at her half-heartedly, and set her snack in front of her – today, it was a scone, covered in a strawberry sauce. She took a bite, waiting for Len to deliver the news she had been waiting for – that the Princess of Blue had merely been curious about the mysterious Maiden of Green, and had not, in fact, gone against her wishes.
"The rumors are… somewhat true…" Len said carefully.
Rin's hands clamped into fists, and she set her fork down stiffly. "Explain in further detail than that," she stated angrily.
Len winced. He was angering her, and he knew it. Good. That meant that Len knew the extent of her dislike for that Maiden of Green.
"The… Prince of Blue has been courting the Maiden of Green," Len stated gently.
Rin stood up quickly, her chair falling to the floor behind her. "No!" she cried, slamming a hand on the table in front of her. "Len, don't you tell me that!"
Len's eyes widened, and he backed away from the Princess of Yellow. "Sister—"
"Len, I want the Maiden of Green gone!" Rin screamed. Before she knew it, the plate containing her scone was on the floor, shattered, and the pastry lay forgotten among the shattered remnants of the china.
"Sister, calm yourself," Len said soothingly, putting a hand on her arm.
"No!" Rin screamed, shaking her head stubbornly, wrenching her arm out of her brother's reach. Tears were streaming down her face. She knew Len would give in. He always did – he always gave her what she wanted.
Len winced. "I'm sure that if you spoke with the Prince of Blue—"
"I want her gone, Len! Get rid of her!"
Len looked at her pleadingly. Rin was astonished. Len was actually arguing with her – for the Maiden of Green? "For me, brother?" she whispered. "You won't even rid the world of her? Not even for me?"
Len sighed, and placed a hand on her wrist. "I… It shall be done, My Lady," he whispered quietly.
Rin gave him a small smile. Her brother was always so good to her.
Later that day, the war with the Kingdom of Green began.
-----------------
Rin sighed, annoyed. The servant was late again. Honestly, she probably should have sent someone other than Len to kill the Maiden – she wouldn't have to wait half an hour for her snack all the time.
The small servant girl entered, a tray balanced in her arms. She set it down, bowing quickly.
"You," Rin said sharply. The girl jumped about two feet in the air. "Why are you so late today?"
"I-I… well, you see, Your Majesty's manservant has returned… he was wounded, and I was asked to tend to his wounds—"
"Len's hurt?" Rin asked, her attention now fully captured.
The girl nodded reluctantly. "Do… do you wish for me to send him to you, My Lady?"
"I will go and see him myself," Rin said shortly, leaving the room. Her latest snack, another strange pastry that her chef had concocted, lay untouched.
-----------------
Rin covered her mouth, breathing in a quiet gasp. Len was lying on his bed. His shirt lay on the floor nearby. His chest was bandaged, from his navel to his collarbone. Most of the bandages were blood stained. His arms and shins were similarly treated, and he had a nasty welt across his back.
But what scared her the most was the fact that her brother, her servant, her Len, was crying.
She hadn't seen Len cry since the day that they had been separated, and he stripped of his title as Prince.
Len gained his composure after a few moments, and whispered something to himself that she barely caught – "Why won't my tears stop?"
Rin watched as her brother fell asleep, persevering the wounds he'd received in her name in complete silence.
--------------------
Rin watched as her brother continued about his work out in the garden, despite his injuries. Every once and a while, the small servant girl would run over and give him water, ask him if he was alright to work, and plead with him to rest. Rin scoffed. If her brother were unfit to work, he'd had talked to her about taking some time off…
Wouldn't he?
Shaking her head to clear it of these thoughts, she returned to her more pressing matter – the Prince of Blue. How could she make him fall in love with her?
Well, he had just lost his "lover", that stupid Maiden of Green. Perhaps she could comfort him, and that relationship would grow to something more?
Who was she kidding? Of course it would grow to something more – after all, she was beautiful, powerful, and rich to boot. She covered her mouth daintily with a hand and laughed. She looked at the clock. Nearly three o'clock. Len would be coming with her snack in less than half an hour. She'd run this plan by him when that time came.
Until then, she satisfied herself by drawing the Prince of Blue's likeness on a small piece of paper at her table. It was an almost perfect portrait – after all, she'd memorized his face the first time she met him. He was perfect, and he was the only man that she'd even consider to take as her King.
Soon, the kingdoms of Yellow and Blue would unite. Then, she'd make it her first act as queen to invade the Kingdom of Green, and take down the remaining family of the woman that had possessed the gull to try and take away her happy ending.
She laughed. This plan was so perfect; there was no way it could fail.
The door opened, and then slammed shut. She looked over, startled. Len was early today? He always ran like clockwork – just as she preferred it. What was he doing?
"Len? What's going on?" she asked quietly, terrified.
"They're storming the castle, Rin. The Prince of Blue's army. They're coming to kill you."
-----------------
"For crimes against the Kingdom of Yellow, we will now read the sentence our Princess, Rin Kagamine. Her crimes include, but are not limited to, the neglect of her country's needs, and the assassination of the Maiden of Green. Her punishment shall be retribution: she shall be rewarded for her evil deeds with death."
Two guards led a small, thin figure over to the guillotine. They forced them onto their knees, and stuck their head into the path of death. The Accused smiled once. "Three o'clock – snack time," they said, closing their eyes.
The clock struck, and the blade fell.
Out in the crowd, a cry of anguish was heard as their other half died.
Wow. This ended up… well, depressing. But I suppose the song is, as well… Up next, I'll do either "Daughter of Vengeance" (Meiko's side) or "Prince of Blue" (Kaito's side). Vote, or I'll choose at random. Look forward to the next chapter!
In all, there will be six chapters (not necessarily in this order):
Daughter of Evil (complete)
Prince of Blue
Maiden of Green
Daughter of Vengeance
Servant of Evil
Message of Regret
And there will possibly be an epilogue; I have an idea already for it.
Happy voting!!!
