Author's Note: This is not the first fanfic I've written, but it's the first one that I'm actually posting on here. Constructive criticism is appreciated, but please don't be too harsh. Also, I know there is a really huge, complicated plot, written by Mothy-P, but this story is based on my interpretation of the videos I saw, along with some random stuff I added. So yeah, it's not going to be exactly the same, but I hope you enjoy it! ^-^
Daughter of Evil: Chapter One
"Your majesty."
I glanced up, straightening against the back of my throne. Standing before me was my devoted servant and twin, Len. He bowed and awaited my approval while I smiled, amused by his refusal to say anything more without my consent. I grinned at him and asked eagerly, "Yes? What is it?"
"Meiko Sakine has requested a meeting with you, your majesty," he replied.
"Who?"
He repeated, "Meiko Sakine. You had her older brother executed a week ago, my lady."
"Hmm," I thought for a moment and suddenly remembered the young woman with short brown hair. I responded, "Ugh, yes, I do remember her. The one who wouldn't quit screaming during the execution?" I sighed, "Very well then, let's get this over with."
Len nodded and opened the large doors of the throne room. Meiko Sakine was led into the room, followed by two of the palace guards. Their boots made loud, echoing steps on the yellow and black tiled floor.
I held my head high and demanded, "You wished to speak with your queen?"
Meiko bowed hastily and nervously tugged at her frayed red dress. She stammered quietly, "yes, your hughness, I – I was wondering if I might borrow some money -"
Shocked by her audacity, I exclaimed, "You dare ask me for money?! You are still indebted to me, as you have been for the last half a year!"
Meiko's head snapped up and she looked me right in the eyes.
"Please - My brother, he - I can't run the shop without him! If I could just afford to hire someone- I could have my debt repaid in a few months -"
"ENOUGH!" I shouted. "Your brother deserved what he got, and anybody affected by his absence will not be pitied! He was conspiring against me, and I'll have you know you're lucky I didn't kill you as well!"
Her eyes filled with tears as she yelled, my brother was right about you!"
Rolling my eyes, I ordered, "Take her away."
Meiko ran forward as if she were going to punch me, but my guards held her firmly in place.
"To the dungeon, majesty?"
I sneered, "Let's not waste our time on an insignificant, worthless peasant. Just get her out of here."
By now the tears were running quickly down Meiko's face, and the guards began to drag her away.
"You'll pay for this!" She screamed, struggling against their strong grip, "I swear I'll get revenge!"
"Good luck with that!" I called mockingly as Len shut the door behind Meiko and the guards. As he turned to face me once again, I noticed he was frowning slightly.
"Len? What is it?" I asked.
He hesitated, but obediently answered, "with all due respect, my lady, that was a bit harsh."
My eyes widened, and I exclaimed, "Her brother was plotting against me! I heard he and some others were going to sneak in and set the castle on fire!"
He nodded, almost bowing, and replied, "I'm well aware of that, my lady. I'm simply worried about what will happen if this goes on."
"Oh, what on earth do you mean, Len?" I sighed.
"The citizens are upset. They're not satisfied with the way your majesty is running the country."
My eyes went from wide to narrow in an instant, and I demanded, "What exactly are you implying?"
"There's a chance of an uprising, a rebellion," he answered, "What will you do if that happens?"
"Hmph." I stood up, holding my head high and replied, I am perfectly capable of keeping my country in order."
Len bowed deeply and said, "Of course. I was merely expressing my concern over your safety, my lady. It is my duty to ensure your safety no matter what."
DONG!
"Ah, it's snack time!" I exclaimed when I heard the sound of the clock striking.
Len bowed, replied, "Yes, my lady," and left to prepare my snack.
*O*O*O*O*O*O*O*O*
Later that week, I sat at my round table with the yellow and black lace table cloth, sipping my tea. I nearly dropped my tea cup when I heard a knock at the door.
"Enter."
Len stepped through the door holding an envelope. He said, "My lady, a letter from the Blue Country has arrived.Shall I read it to you?"
I raised an eyebrow. "The Blue Country? Didn't the Blue Country trade with the Yellow Country long ago?"
Len nodded and answered, "Yes, but ties were cut between the two, long before we were even born."
"Hm. Could the people of Blue be trying to resume trade with the Yellow once again?"
Len replied, "Since the prince has recently come of age, he has more of a say in what their government does. It's very possible."
I curiously peered at the letter. "Well then. Let's see."
"Yes my lady." Len opened the envelope, unfolded the clean white paper, and read:
'Dear Queen Rin Kagamine of the Yellow Country,
It has recently come to my attention that our countries were once trade partners, but the partnership dissolved due to a gradual distrust between our rulers. Now that both our countries are under new rule, I see no reason why we should not resume the agreement we once shared. I would be delighted if you would send me a response letting me know your opinion on the matter. – Sincerely, Prince Kaito Shion of the Blue Country.
As Len set the letter on the table, I smiled and said, "Lovely. Len, write back to the prince of Blue at once. Tell him that I look forward to doing business with him, and that I would be pleased if he would accept an invitation to the palace in order to discuss the issue further."
He bowed, replied, "Yes, my lady," and exited the room. As I watched him go, I smiled to myself. The Country of Blue…I wonder what it's like…
So, was it any good? I am aware that I really know next to nothing about government and trade and all that, so correct me if I screwed up anything, please! Also, I'm sorry if the chapters are too short. I really can't tell, because while I'm writing, it feels like forever, but once I go back and read it, I'm like 'That's really short… T-T ' So yeah, let me know what you think, review, PM, it really doesn't matter to me, but please please don't be too harsh; my feelings are easily smashed! Also, I'm not sure how often I will update, because I don't often have access to computers (I'm doing this at school right now XD) But I promise you I will keep writing and post it all eventually! ^-^ Have a wonderful day!
