Flower of Evil

Life is a book trailed with happiness and tragedies.

It simply cannot exist without the other.

You cannot treasure the wonders of it, without looking at the deform horror that is bounded around it.

Prologue

This story was like any other fairytale it ended happy. The young king won the heart of the woman he had longed to be his Queen and companion in life. The bells rang as they made their vows to God. The love in their marriage soon blesses them with children. Twins, a boy and a girl with golden hair they were named Len and Rin. The whole Kingdom celebrated as they shower blessing and wishes to the two infants. It was a time described as pure bliss of happiness.

Unfortunately there happiness was rattled as calls of war breach the palace walls. It was a battle that cannot be avoided, since the world was filled with barbaric men in hope for power and conquer. The young King who desired to protect his family and Kingdom led the army. The battle was swift and victorious, that the flags that bear the marking of red were trampled in the ground as the empire of yellow proclaimed its victory.

"Conquered" He said with sarcasm. He looked what left of the once grand Empire. He raised his sword and screamed "WE CONQUERED"
The King soon felt a new drive a strange power. Instead of going back to his kingdom. He had discussed to his advisors his plan to conquer the rest of the Southern Country. He led his army to the battlefield once more painting it scarlet. His greed and arrogance became his end as an arrow pierce inside his chest. But the King did not die in vain as his men stab the ground with his country flag declaring it a part of the yellow nation. He smiled as he faced death before him. He was satisfied with the taste of victory.

His last words we're "Tell my people. We are victorious. The kingdom of Green is ours"

The Queen who heard of that finally her husband was to return home prepared for his arrival. Without knowledge of her love one's demise. Merrily she gathers the people telling them "Women, Children of Yellow. You're King and your husbands are to return victorious from war. Prepare them a feast, a bath, and a welcome that they would never forget. Thank them that we are safe from the threat of the other nation"

The joy was cut short as the messenger arrives. With the news he brings the court fell a lost. Especially the Queen she was only twenty seven and now a widow.

It was a time of chaos as the people questioned who was going to replace the King. His son the prince was only three years old. He had just learned to how to run and talk.

The panic was halted as the Queen presented herself to rule till her son reaches the proper age. She requested them time and patience. She promised them prosperity and justice. The Queen soon proved herself for she was wise and led her people well as her husband before her. Sadly her rule was a short one as she was suddenly plagued with an unknown disease that caused turmoil inside her. She battled to live but as she felt death by her balcony, she could not help but summon her children in private. She briefs them of her sickness and for the worst. The three of them shed tears together but the Queen reminded "Be brave little ones... you must to face the tides of challenges ahead of you. I will pray for you both. God has mercy on his children the kind and innocent" she held both of her children by her side "Do not let my death stop you from living. Always remember that you two are the only allies even if the world turns against the other you must always be there to protect the other."

When her illness worsens she was advice to ban her children to see her. The doctors fear that she might infect them. Alone in her room the Queen battled each breathe thinking of her children. She had prepared them for the inevitable, but unfortunately the Queen herself is not prepared to leave her little ones. She prayed everyday for there well being. The Queen who lay in bed suffering soon saw her husband beside her. The husband in front of her did not look like the corpse brought to her. His face and body did not have any scars. "Not yet..." she said weakly. Her husband image distresses her. "I can't leave them" she began to sob. But her pleas were not heard as a sudden jolt of pain erupted inside her. She felt his hand reach her while his eyes pleading sadly at her. He could feel her pain. It was hurting him to see her suffer, she had been brave unfortunately it was battle she could not win. As day breaks the young Queen takes one last look at the blue skies and whispers "God have mercy on them..."

Soon news of her death brought grief to the country of yellow. The people who have come to love her lay white roses in their windows as sign of their great lose. They prayed for her and for orphans she left behind. Children who barely knew the world behind the palace walls are now burden with the responsibilities of their heritage.

Len the first born son is the first line to the throne followed by his younger sister Rin. But due to their young age they we're unfit to the task left to them. So they we're to be place under the wing of a man trusted by their father Gustavo. He is to arrive in a few days.

On the day of the Queen funeral the Kingdom was silent. Occupying the front seats we're her orphan children. The two held each other's hands tight stopping each other from weeping. The two of them wanted to be brave, it was one of the last requests their mother made.

Words of "Together forever" poured out the little princess lips. "Don't leave me promise that" she trailed.

While the prince left her with an assurance "I will protect you no matter what... no one will harm you" his hands grabs hers tight. While his azure eyes locked to hers. "So don't worry I'll be here" he said then gently wipes the tears from his sister face. "And don't cry remember what we discuss earlier sister"

"Yes forgive me brother" the little princess stand up to her ground again compose.

Sadly they were both young and naive that they fail to see the dangers that lurks the shadow around them. That most people saw their tragedy as an opportunity to rise, the sole heirs were children. Sheep's that we're to be devoured by wolves. They lack the protection and power to fend themselves. Their words will not count to the world for they are judge to be ignorant and young. To those men who hunger power, selfish calculating adults who desire only to benefit their pockets.

In the back of the funeral a man with violet mane dressed in black breeches made his way to the corner with his young wife by his side. He carried white roses in his hands. He then takes his wife's hands as they made way to the crowd they had kneel in the presence of their death Queen. Showing her there respect and leaving the flowers to rest by her side.

He overwhelm by the sight of his beloved Queen. But he was also torn by the happiness. A hint of smile gently carves his face. He could not stop the thought of his prayers the chance to cease the Kingdom for his own.

His eyes soon fell on the young princess he saw that she was trying to look strong but her eyes were filled with melancholy. It was the second time he saw her since he only saw her when she was an infant. He knew that she was the Queen daughter for she was the splitting image of her the Queen the only woman who once caught him with her alluring beauty. But as his eyes fell on the young boy beside her unsettling words escape his mouth

"The boy will be nuisance to me..." he mutters

"What did you say?" his wife asked who could not help but overhear her husband mumbles.

"Nothing..." he said as his hand trailed her blonde locks. "Forgive me" he thought as he looked at his Queen. "But your children stand in my way..."

The bell rang loud followed by a heavy rain. The man began to calculate plans of how he will render the empire in his hands. But for now he was still in a train of thought on what to do with the two children who was stands in his way of ruling.

AN: Weird that I'm writing Len story first, but I am (lol). I'm writing about his side first because "Servant of Evil" explains more of their childhood and the unfortunate events that led to their circumstances in the present "The daughter of Evil" the wicked sibling.

I would love to hear constructive criticisms, so I can improve my writing

This is my second time trying to write fanfiction and I'm thrilled. Hope that you can tell if I should continue this o_o
