Story of Evil
Rin POV
Twins, supposed to be together from birth right? Due to selfish adult reasonings, my future with my twin was ripped in two. We were born into a royal family and blessed by the church together but my twin brother Len was taken away to study. I still remember that day, I was on my knees crying, watching the carriage with my only sibling in it get further and further away from me. I knew in my heart that he was doing the same. I stayed to become the new princess. But how could one act on what her heart says is right if half is missing? As I grew up, more pressure was put on me to become the new queen but after the sudden death of my mother, I was a wreck. I had no choice but to become Rin, the new queen of the Yellow Kingdom. I became selfish, believing that nothing could make me happy but myself. The problem was that no one could make me happy besides myself. I spoilt myself with clothes and furniture and I took so much money from the peasants, I.. I guess they hate me.
One day, a cloaked young man came to the castle to become a servant. As this boy presented himself to me, he pulled back his hood to reveal the same smiling face as me. I stared at him and forgetting all my etiquette, I jumped at him to give him a hug and I refused to let go. It was my long lost twin Len. Len was startled but returned the hug. I loosened my grip on him and we softly touched heads together, a gesture we did when we were young. I laughed and hugged him again.
"You came back." I whispered to him.
"Of course I did, you're my twin." He laughed.
I squeezed him hard and sat back on my yellow throne.
"My queen of the yellow kingdom, my twin, would you spare a place for me in your ranks of servants?" Len said in utter surety.
"You could be my personal servant, the other one died not that long ago." I smiled at my twin.
"I would like that very much." Len returned the smile.
He was whisked away to learn about the castle while I sat on my throne, grinning. Just looking at Len reminds me of all the fun we had. One of the memories that meant the most to me was the time when we were out at twilight. Len found a large devil that wanted to eat us so he gave it a snack. The devil then told Len a legend of the ocean we were near. It told him that the old tradition of writing your wish on a piece of parchment, put it in a glass bottle and let the waves wash it away was true and that the wishes did happen. I smile to recall that for days Len would throw bottle after bottle containing the same wish every time into the ocean but I never found out what it was. I should really ask him some time. When Len came back, he had changed into some better clothes and his smile was brighter and I knew, from now on, Len could make me happy too.
Len POV
It has been a few years since I first came to this castle to work and Rin and I have had a lot of time to enjoy each others company. I feel whole again now, when I was taken away to study with my father, I felt as if half of me was missing, because it was. When I was grabbed and put into a carriage by my father, I opened the curtains at the back at saw Rin crying on the road. I started crying then, thinking I would never see my twin again. We are both much happier now. I finish handing the last letter from the yellow queen to the green king and leave the castle, eager to get home. On my way out, I see a beautiful woman with beautiful flowing hair of green. She smiles at me and goes back to the blue man who she seems to be walking with. I couldn't help but stare after her beautiful figure. It was then I knew that I had fallen in love with the princess of the green kingdom, Miku. I knew it was her after seeing her with her father at a few meetings of the kingdoms in which I attend along with Rin. I shake my head, knowing it was impossible. I hurry back to the yellow kingdom and sit in my room for a while. Soon, I hear church bells that signal 3 o'clock which is the time the Rin wants her tea. I run to the kitchens to fetch her some tea and biscuits and bring them up to her. I knock on her door but get no answer. I knock again with the same result. I open the door uninvited even though the queen hates it and see Rin in her bed, crying into her pillow. I put the tray of tea onto her table in the middle of her room and go over to her. I can see a photo frame with the prince of blue's picture in it, that has been thrown across the room and broken. I gently embrace Rin and ask what happened.
