Aku no Monogatari
I found a draft for this on my laptop, so I thought I'd finish it. Just a warning, there will be death. If you aren't familiar with the Story of Evil, it's a series of Vocaloid songs, beginning with Daughter of Evil (Aku no Musume). -Rin

Prologue
Long ago, there was a kingdom called Giallo. It was ruled by a just, benevolent King and beautiful Queen. Under their rule the kingdom prospered. The King and Queen had always wanted children, and soon their wish came true. All of Giallo rejoiced at the birth of their twin sons, Feliciano and Lovino.
But not long after the princes' birth, an awful disease swept the land, killing many, including the King and Queen. There was nothing the royal doctors could do. The princes, only two years old, could not take the throne, so a group of regents were chosen to rule the kingdom until they came of age.
These regents were concerned solely with their own political agendas. As part of someone's plan to further his own career, the Prince Feliciano was sent away. However, the Commander of the Royal Guard took pity on the boy and took him in.
Years passed, and Prince Lovino turned fourteen. Finally, the prince was old enough to take the throne. Shortly after he began his rule, a new servant was hired, calling himself Veneziano. Lovino recognized him immediately. The prince and his twin were together again, though Feliciano could never rule. He had lost all right to the throne when the regents sent him away.
Despite their happiness, all was not well in the kingdom of Giallo. Lovino had never been taught how to run a kingdom, for the regents hadn't cared about him. Giallo was in the middle of a famine, and while the castle was filled with luxury, the peasants had very little food.
Lovino was unaware of his people's suffering, and continued to live happily in the castle.
