Servant of Evil

This story is adapted (or maybe inspired) from the song "Servant of Evil" sang by Len Kagamine. You want to song, find it on youtube. make sure you find the one with english subtitles but it is already cry worthy without the subs.

INTRO

"Dong...dong..." Goes the sound of church bells. It is 9am in the morning and a busy one. But at that moment, Rin and Len, a pair of twins were born.... 

Chapter 1

4 years later...

"Hey, Len! Come here and look at this!" says Rin with excitement.
"What is it Rin? I'm trying to find some ants here." complains Len.

Len walks towards Rin's direction. In her hand, there is a beautiful headpiece made of daisy's and grass. He was amazed on what his sister had made. He kept on admiring the headpiece.

"Len, if you like it so much, then I shall give it to you then." says Rin with pleasure.

Len hugs his sister tightly and the both of them walked back to their home. To their surprise, they found a number of strangers in their home. After squeezing through, the both of them managed to see their mother. Their mother is very ill but they are still as cheerful as always.

"She won't be able to support her children in that condition." says a woman at the corner of the room.
"Might as well give her children away to someone that is capable." replies a man.
"I agree on that motion. Being bedridden, there is no possible way she is able to take care or her twins." debates a woman.

Suddenly, the doors of the small cottage flew open. Everybody in the room made room for the King to walk in. 

"What is the King doing here?" "There must be trouble." "This is not going to turn out good." Whispers the crowd.

The king makes way to the bedridden woman, mother of the twins, Rin and Len. The king then says " How are you doing today? Today, i have come to lighten your burden. You have a very cheerful and beautiful daughter and I shall take her to the castle and make her my daughter and Princess of the kingdom."

The woman is so ill, that she can only her pockets of the words thrown at her. At that moment, the King's secretary gave her a scroll and a feather pen already dipped into ink. She needs to sign the agreement about giving her daughter away. She knows that she want's the best for her daughter, so she signs the agreement. After signing with her weak, shaky hands, the pen fell from her hand. She breathed her last breath. The King has taken Rin away from Len forever. One of the gentleman from the crowd took pity of Len so he took Len into his home and made him his son.

From then on, they were apart.

Chapter 2

Two decades had past. Rin grew up to be a beautiful princess and Len became the most handsome bachelor in town. 

One fine day, Rin was walking down the streets of her kingdom when she met Len. At that moment she had a flashback of her childhood, the moment where destiny divided she and her brother. She was sure that he was her brother, he looks exactly like her. He must be her long lost brother.

She patted Len's back, he turned his head and his eyes widen. He finally found his long lost sister. Finally, they were united after 2 decades of being apart. Finally, they were together once more. From then and there, Len made a promise to always protect his innocent sister, never leave her sight, will always make sure that her lovely smile will remain on her flawless complexion, even if he had to become evil, he would do it. For the sake of his sister, forever and always. From that day on wards, they spent every single minute of the day together.

The King had passed away due to an unknown illness and Rin had become the heir to the thrown. She has become the Queen and she made Len her Royal and Loyal servant.


Chapter 3

The Queen and her servant was travelling in the neighbouring kingdom. On the way to the kingdom's castle for some business, Len saw a beautiful girl in green. She was the most beautiful thing he has ever seen. Her hair was wavy and long, her skirt follows as she walked, she looks so flawless, nothing about her is imperfect. 

Once the business with the royals of the kingdom is finished, The Queen ordered her Servant to erase the beautiful girl from this world. Although the servant loves the beautiful girl, he shall attend the queens orders, because they are twins. If evil run through the blood of the queen, he too is evil, because he will do whatever it takes to protect the queen, his beloved sibling.

That night, the servant lured the beautiful girl into a dark alley. The beautiful girl expects a surprise, a very big surprise.

"Come, I have something to show you," says Len.
"Why do we have to come to this dark alley? I'm scared," whimpers the girl.
"You won't be scared anymore," says Len as he takes out a knife.

In that split second, he stabbed her from behind. As the beautiful girl falls to the ground, tears start to well up in his eyes. He asks himself "Why won't my tears stop flowing? I am following orders from my dear Queen, after all. " He returned back to the neighbouring kindoms's guest room, tears still flowing from his eyes.

"I have erassed the girl from this earth as you ordered, my queen" says the servant as he bows.
"You have done well, my servant. You truly are my sibling." replies the Queen, with a glare of evil in her eyes.

They journey back to their kingdom the following day.

Chapter 4

The king of the neighbouring kingdom found out that one of his citizen was murdered and the mastermind behind it all was the one and only Queen Rin. The King ordered that she would be executed at once. 

"Here, I'll lend you my clothes. After you are done changing, immediately start escaping. Don't worry about a thing. We are twins after all. No one will be able to tell the difference." debates the servant after receiving the news. 
"I trust you, my dear sibling. " says the queen obediently.

Len writes a note while the queen is changing. He placed the note inside the bottle and place it into the cloak the queen will be wearing when she escapes. Then, he looks at his enviroment and brushed his hands against his sibling's clothes and quickly starts changing.

The queen is now the servant and the servant is now the queen. The servant fled into the woods behind the castle while the queen is brought to the town square to be executed in front of the residents there. Finally the time has come, the bell sounds signal the end of the queen. Without bothering about looking at the crowd, he was forced on his hands and knees and his head placed on the mechanism. Before the blade was dropped onto his neck, he whispered "I love you, Rin. May we meet in the next life." In a split second, his head came rolling down the steps and blood flowed from between the blade and the wooden planks holding his body in place. 

In the forest, Rin felt a chill go up her spine. Her hand was cold so she placed them in the pockets of the cloak her sibling told he to wear. She felt something smooth and realized it was a message in a bottle. She forced the cork out of the bottle and knocked the piece of paper out. The note read:

Dear Rin,
                
              By the time you read this, i would be beheaded already. I just want you to know, although i am no longer in the form of my body, i will always be by your side. Fate divided the two of us when we were still young but fate also brought us back together. Fate, such a delightful thing isn't it? For now, all i can say is, don't be afraid to be yourself. Just keep smiling, be the cheerful person you used to be. I will always be by your side, protecting you from harms way. If you miss me, just think of me and i will appear by your side. I'll lend you my shoulder to cry on if you are sad. I already promised myself that i would protect you no matter what. I will always be there. I hope in the next life, i would be able to be your twin once again so that we may play together like we used to. Until then, take care. 

From your sibling and servant,
Len Kagamine

Then, tears rolled down her eyes as she read he brothers final words of advice. She charged through the woods, not knowing which way to go. As she saw a bright ray of light at the end of the road, she ran even faster. She didn't feel the uneven forest floor beneath her feat anymore. She was in mid air, falling and falling... Her life flashed before her eyes, and when she sees the image of her brother in her mind, she felt her spine crack into two. That was the end of her. She joins her brother in the afterworld, together forever.
