Story of Evil: Chapter One
"Please!" In the Kingdom of yellow, a man kneeled before the Prince.
"I beg you, my Lord!" He exclaimed in a pleading voice.
"We are short of money and food…" He explained.
"She could see no way out of this situation!" He begged.
The man had short, chocolate brown hair. The Prince sat on his throne, his chin resting on his right hand's knuckles. His maid stood right next to him, standing tall and straight. The Prince frowned at the pleading man.
"We are hungry…" Meito Sakine pleaded.
"Even the cattle are dying…" He said, his hands were wrapped together, he was on his knees, and he looked as if he was on the verge of tears.
Rinto Kagamine said nothing, just closed his eyes, pouted, and sighed.
"She just wanted to…"
"Guess what?" Meito was interrupted by Rinto, he was now smiling devilishly.
Lenka Kagamine looked at him.
"You are booooring me…" He said, his eyes sparkling innocently.
"…with your complaints~!" He exclaimed happily, leaning forward in his throne, and putting his hands together as if he has just won a load of money.
Meito's eyes widened in disbelief.
"Is there something better than this, Lenka?" Rinto asked, getting off of his throne and strolling around the room.
"No, my Lord." Lenka said, staying where she was.
"This is the only audience granted today…" Lenka pointed out.
"I think it's because of today's execution." She suggested.
"Oh, you're right! I've forgotten about it!" Rinto gasped.
Meito balled his hands into a fist.
"H-how…?" Meito stuttered, shaking with anger and gritting his teeth.
"HOW!" He screamed in anger.
"How dare you? Stop your childish nonsense!" He exclaimed, still shaking with rage.
Rinto stared at him wide-eyed.
"What?" He asked, looking at the brown haired man.
"Were you listening to me?" Meito asked.
Lenka sighed, a sad expression on her face.
"Your people are dying." He stated.
"And you have ordered an innocent to be killed." He said with utter disgust in his voice.
"The people don't complain because you dismiss them with your jokes and kill the more daring. And, before my request you just…" He said, filling with rage again.
Rinto raised an annoyed eyebrow at him.
"Can you just say that I'm "boring you with my complaints"?" Meito yelled, his voice starting to grow louder again.
"This is not a game!" He screamed.
Rinto stared at him blankly.
"Wow…your girlfriend is going to be executed for less than this." Rinto said.
Meito's eyes once again widened with shock.
"And now, if you have finished with your annoying chatter…" Rinto started.
"…I think I should punish your insolence." He said.
"I sentence you to de-"
DONG~!
DONG~!
DONG~!
Rinto was interrupted when the clock chimed 3:00. Meito mentally sighed with relief.
"AH!" Rinto shrieked happily.
"It's tea time!" He yelled, his eyes sparkling as he cupped his hands together.
"What's today's snack?" Rinto asked Lenka, who looked at him.
"MY LORD!" Meito yelled.
"Please! You have to listen to me!" He begged with desperation.
"No, YOU have to listen; it's time for my snack, so I'm willing to forgive you." Rinto said.
"So, don't waste your luck…Guards!" Rinto commanded.
"NO!" Meito exclaimed, being dragged away by the guards.
"My Lord, please! You have to listen to me!" Meito begged.
"Take him out." Rinto ordered, shooing him off.
"She…she just…" Meito said, tears flowing down his cheeks.
"Meiko…" He mumbled sadly.
"Come on, Lenka! Let's get that snack! I'm hungry!" Rinto said, waving for Lenka to follow him as he made his way to the dining room.
Lenka followed, glancing at Meito. She made a sad expression at him.
"Yes, my Lord." She said, and turned her gaze away.
XxXxXxXxX
"Seriously!" Rinto exclaimed, as Lenka poured him a cup of tea, and set a plate of cookies on the table.
"I don't understand the persistence of the peasants…" He said.
"I'm so tired of their complaints…" He moaned, crossing his arms and making a sad expression.
"I thought that by removing that girl they would end, and…" Rinto stopped, noticing that Lenka was not responding, but just staring out into the distance.
"…Lenka?" He asked.
Lenka didn't respond.
"Are you OK? I mean, you are very quiet today." Rinto asked, putting his pointer finger on his chin.
"My Lord…" Lenka said quietly.
Rinto raised an eyebrow.
"Please." Lenka said.
"Don't worry about me." She stated with a smile.
"I'll be fine of my Lord is fine." She said, and Rinto stared at her, slightly blushing.
"Oh, Lenka, you made me blush~! Fufufu~!" Rinto exclaimed, smiling cutely and putting his hands on his cheeks.
Lenka always noted that Rinto had a very girly side to him.
"You're always so kind with me…" He said.
Lenka giggled.
"It's my duty as a maid." She said.
"No, Lenka, you are different." Rinto said.
"You're always by my side." He started.
"I feel safe with you…" He continued.
"…Hey, Lenka." Rinto said, leaning over to look at Lenka.
"What did you write on that piece of paper?" He asked her.
The blonde maid smirked.
"There's no need to thank me…Prince Rinto…" Lenka said.
Lenka made a mischievous look at Rinto.
"What does that face mean?" Rinto asked shakily.
"My wish." Lenka started.
"I asked that my Lord's banana grows REALLY big! If you get what I mean…" Lenka said, smiling to herself and putting her right hand on her hip, and pointing downwards with her left pointer finger.
Rinto was confused for a moment, but then blushed crazily until his whole face was red.
"**** ***** **!" Rinto screamed, with about three doki's on his head.
"I'LL CUT OFF YOUR HEAD FOR THAT!" He yelled, pointing at Lenka who was laughing so hard that tears started coming out of her eyes.
"Calm down, my Lord!" Lenka exclaimed, holding up her hands.
"I'm kidding!" She said to Rinto, who still had a doki on his head.
Lenka's expression softened as a soft breeze swept through the beach, causing Lenka's and Rinto's hair to flow the same way, the sand brushing against Lenka's dress and Rinto's pants, and the Ocean slightly turned it's angle, as if it wanted to follow the graceful wind.
"My only wish…" Lenka started.
"Is that I want my Lord to be happy all the time." She said, smiling softly at her prince.
Rinto stared at her.
"If that's what you want…" The Prince said, with a blank expression on his face.
"Then stay by my side forever." He said, suddenly hugging a surprised Lenka.
"Always be with me." He continued.
"Because I am the happiest…" Rinto said, smiling cheerily as he hugged Lenka.
Whenever Lenka is by my side…
Lenka's wish drifted down the sea, bobbing evenly with the water as it went into the horizon.

Somewhere outside the palace, a guillotine sat. Normally, for mostly many months at a time, it remained empty. But, today, a large crowd circled around it, and an isle was cleared in one section as two palace guards led a young woman in chains. The woman was wearing shaggy red clothing, and her hair was brown and short. Her hands were bound in chains, and she bowed her head sadly, her bangs covering her eyes.
The chains on her hands made the all too familiar cling sound as she made her way to the wooden stand. Somewhere in the crowd, Meito stood. His eyes were filled with sadness and disbelief that this was actually happening. The woman in chains, Meiko, looked at him, smiling softly, but sadly as she passed.
"The execution of Meiko Swinburne…" The executioner started to say, reading off a piece of parchment.
"Is now going to take place." He said.
"Charges," The executioner started with his ramble.
"Disloyalty and treason."
"Sentence: Death by Guillotine." He finished.
"No…" Meito mumbled, tears falling out of his eyes and onto the dusty ground.
He gripped his friends hand tightly, his own arm shaking from his tight grasp.
"Everyone is quiet…" Meito started to think in rage.
"Because HE is here…" He thought, with bitterness all in his imaginary voice, gesturing to the Prince and his maid, standing high on one of the platforms from the palace.
The Prince was sitting in an elegant looking chair, nibbling on an orange, with his maid by his side, standing tall and straight as always, her hands folded behind her back.
"I can't stand this anymore…" Meito said out loud, glaring at the Prince between gritted teeth and tears.
"MEITO!" Another voice yelled, his friend standing next to him grabbing him roughly by the arm as Meito let go.
"Please don't do silly things…" Ted Kasane begged through tears, fogging up his glasses.
He quickly removed them.
"You will die if you anger him." Ted begged through his blood colored eyes.
Meito gritted his teeth, but knowing that Ted was right, he let out nothing but a desperate groan.
"Oh!" The Prince exclaimed, still on his platform.
"There are a lot of people!" He said.
"Do you see, Lenka?" Rinto asked, pointing to the people at the guillotine.
"I wonder if the peasant we saw before is here!" He exclaimed happily, cupping his hands together with a wide and excited smile.
The maid didn't respond, but just stood there. Her mouth was slightly gaping, and her eyes were covered by the shadow of her bangs. Lenka, with a traumatized expression on her face, started to think.
I'd like to ask… "Why are you smiling?"
Don't you realize, my Lord?
That woman is going to die…
Meiko rested her head on the curved piece of wood, and the executioner put another plank of wood on top of it. Her hair covered her chocolate brown eyes.
And, yes, he is here to see it.
Meito buried his face in his hands, and Ted hugged him reassuringly, but he had tears pouring down his cheeks as well.
So…why do you smile?
"Executioner!" Rinto exclaimed, loud enough for everyone to hear.
Why?
"Go on!" He said, giving thumbs down.
"For the freedom!" Meiko screamed as the large blade fell down the two planks of wood, and-
SHACK!
"NOOO!" Meito screamed at the top of his lungs, grabbing the side of his head with his hands and shaking it rapidly as he squinted his eyes shut, not daring to look at the bloody mess.
"AAAAAH!" He screamed with hatred and anger mixed in his hoarse voice.
His shoulders shook as he buried himself into Ted's chest, and Ted gripped his shoulders and patted his head.
"Calm down, Meito…be strong…" Ted said, squinting his eyes shut as well.
"Now, we haven't got to worry about this threat!" Rinto exclaimed happily, shaking it off.
The maid stared at him blankly as he giggled.
"Hehe~!" He exclaimed.
A single tear dropped from Lenka's face.
Is it really you, my Lord?
"AAAH!"
XxXxXxXxXxX
Somewhere in the village, in the nearby graveyard, Meito sat there, alone. Three graves were in front of him, and he was trembling all over. Anger boiled inside of him. Anger and sadness were having a war inside of him.
Alone…
I'm completely alone…
And it's his fault…
The three graves had names on them. Lola, (Mom) Leon, (Dad) and Meiko. (Fiancé)
"I'll never forgive you for that…" Meiko mumbled, his voice and face twisted with anger and pure hatred.
He would get his revenge.
