Daughter of Evil, Servant of Evil

Chapter 4: Kagamine Len and Rin

        Rin’s POV

          The next day when I woke up, I heard the clashing of swords and people screaming. I ignored it at first, thinking they might be doing a rally until I heard Meiko’s voice. “BRING FREEDOM TO OUR COUNTRY!” and that’s when I jumped out of my bed and looked down from my balcony.

          My eyes widen in fear. Why am I down there? No wait. . . Len? I wanted to go down but my feet were frozen. Why is Len dressed up as me?

          “It’s fine we’re twins anyway, no one will notice” I heard his voice in my head. I turned to my bed to see his clothes “Wear these and run away”

          “I pray for my sibling to be free” I heard him say in my voice then his head got chopped off. Voicelessly I screamed “LEN!”

          I sat up breathing heavily and clenching my blankets. The sun was shining outside and I could hear the morning chirps of the two birds Len gave me yesterday. I put my right hand on my heart and calmed down.

          Thank goodness it was a dream, I said to myself. “Rin?! Are you alright?!” Len hysterically scared banged the door open. Len really is here, I smiled at him to soothe him and said “I’m fine Len, it’s just a nightmare, that’s all”

          He sighed of relief and got his composure back. “Sorry for my hysterical emotions a while ago young mistress” he bowed to me. I jumped down from my bed and lightly hit his head making him say a small “ow” which was cute.

“Stop with the formalities Len, I’m still your sister, excuse me. Just address me like you always do” I opened my right eye to look at him. I might get used to this ‘big sister’ thing, “Now go while I dress” then I closed the door.

Len’s POV

          “One two three, one two three, one two three, one two three” Luka counted beside me, guiding Rin in her dance.

          Rin was going around the ball room with Teto as her Yellow gown fluttered gently. Books were placed on her head to keep her chin up with a straight back and broad shoulder, just as how a queen should be.

          “Len, do you know how to cook?” Luka suddenly asked me while clapping the beats. “Of course” I bowed to show respect and it already became a habit. “Do you think you can go buy ingredients to make brioche? I’m sure you’re familiar with that” she raised an eyebrow at me and I just smiled.

“Of course I am, I’ve been practicing to make that while I was taking my lessons” Luka just smiled at me. “Good, the young mistress will have brioche for later and I was thinking if you would make one for her? She misses you a lot”

          I answered a yes and left the room.

          I put on my regular clothes and a beret because one: I don’t want to get my clothes dirty, and second: people will surely give me glares that I’m showing too much pride that I’m from the castle.

          While Len was preparing Rin’s snack in the kitchen, Rin was being impatient with the people’s complaints. Papers and letters from them keep sending to her and her desk is piles up with them. “Is there no one who can settle those people down?” she asked tapping her finger on her throne. “I believe I could help you with that, your majesty” a man in red stepped forward and bowed to the princess. “Lion?” she asked.
