It was always like this.

We were born in a Royal Palace, with all the furniture and wealth you could ever imagine.

But none of it belongs to us.

I wasn’t the heir to the throne, We weren’t. We were just children. Ordinary children.
![Page 6: Servant of Evil](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062305/5681649f550346895dd68974/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Well, though it would be really convenient if the ‘ordinary children’ part was actually true…

Little Girl“Leee~n…!”

Len“Hey, watch your step! You’re going to fa-”
![Page 9: Servant of Evil](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062305/5681649f550346895dd68974/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Little Girl“Eeeeeek…!”
![Page 10: Servant of Evil](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062305/5681649f550346895dd68974/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
I haven’t even finished my sentence when my twin sister, Rin, promptly fell face-first into the slippery marble floor.
![Page 11: Servant of Evil](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062305/5681649f550346895dd68974/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
I came up to her, and all she could do was to get up and show me a sheepish smile.
![Page 12: Servant of Evil](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062305/5681649f550346895dd68974/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Rin“Eh…. Hehehe…”
![Page 13: Servant of Evil](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062305/5681649f550346895dd68974/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Len“Don’t ‘hehe’ me. You know it is dangerous running in the hallway…”
![Page 14: Servant of Evil](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062305/5681649f550346895dd68974/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Len“And you’re also wearing those shoes”
![Page 15: Servant of Evil](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062305/5681649f550346895dd68974/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
When I mentioned ‘shoes’, I was talking about a pair of oversized, high- heel black shoes. Putting it on a little girl’s feet was by now the strangest idea I have ever thought of.
![Page 16: Servant of Evil](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062305/5681649f550346895dd68974/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
But Rin was wearing it anyway…
![Page 17: Servant of Evil](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062305/5681649f550346895dd68974/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Rin“But mom forced me to wear these. It’s not like I can refuse even if I wanted to…”
![Page 18: Servant of Evil](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062305/5681649f550346895dd68974/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Len“Oh, Okay then…”
![Page 19: Servant of Evil](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062305/5681649f550346895dd68974/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
One of the main problems of our family is the matter of our parents.
![Page 20: Servant of Evil](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062305/5681649f550346895dd68974/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Our mother was The King’s favorite woman. Our father? The King himself.
![Page 21: Servant of Evil](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062305/5681649f550346895dd68974/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Mother would always think of a way for us to be able to attain the throne. Well, not that we care much.
![Page 22: Servant of Evil](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062305/5681649f550346895dd68974/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Rin“Len, we haven’t gone out for a while. Mind going to the sea shore with me?”
![Page 23: Servant of Evil](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062305/5681649f550346895dd68974/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

Len“Well, I think a little bit of refreshment wouldn’t hurt much…”
![Page 25: Servant of Evil](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062305/5681649f550346895dd68974/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Rin“Now that’s the spirit! Let’s go there! I made sure that the guards are too busy and Dad is fast asleep”
![Page 26: Servant of Evil](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062305/5681649f550346895dd68974/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Len“Made sure, huh…”
![Page 27: Servant of Evil](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062305/5681649f550346895dd68974/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Of course she did. Rin was a very sly person actually. I’m almost sure that she put her cutest face in front of the guards and mixed sleepy herbs in Dad’s drink.
![Page 28: Servant of Evil](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062305/5681649f550346895dd68974/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
How should I know that, you ask? Call that a brother's intuition. After all I have been with her for eight years now.
![Page 29: Servant of Evil](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062305/5681649f550346895dd68974/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
And that means since we were born.
![Page 30: Servant of Evil](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062305/5681649f550346895dd68974/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Len“Thanks… but no thanks”
![Page 31: Servant of Evil](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062305/5681649f550346895dd68974/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Rin“Aww, come on, you’re no fun at all!”
![Page 32: Servant of Evil](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062305/5681649f550346895dd68974/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
I don’t feel really good refusing her request, but I just felt lazy all of a sudden. So, I didn’t even bother going to the beach,
![Page 33: Servant of Evil](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062305/5681649f550346895dd68974/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
But I know she’s not going to give up that easily. She’s my stubborn twin sister after all.
![Page 34: Servant of Evil](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062305/5681649f550346895dd68974/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Rin grabbed me on the collar, and started dragging me along the palace hallway, choking me in the process.
![Page 35: Servant of Evil](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062305/5681649f550346895dd68974/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Len“Stop it, Rin! I can’t… breathe…”
![Page 36: Servant of Evil](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062305/5681649f550346895dd68974/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Rin“Huh? Why can’t you? Just take a single breath in… and out…”
![Page 37: Servant of Evil](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062305/5681649f550346895dd68974/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
I know that Rin is clever, sly, and cute at the same time… but she is still my air-headed twin sister. I can only let out a choked sigh when she said that.
![Page 38: Servant of Evil](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062305/5681649f550346895dd68974/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Len“The collar… let go of it…”
![Page 39: Servant of Evil](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062305/5681649f550346895dd68974/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Rin“Oh, all right then…”
![Page 40: Servant of Evil](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062305/5681649f550346895dd68974/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Rin“But don’t you dare to run away, teehee!”
![Page 41: Servant of Evil](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062305/5681649f550346895dd68974/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
We snuck outside pretty easily. As Rin said, the guards were too busy on their patrol that they didn’t notice us.
![Page 42: Servant of Evil](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062305/5681649f550346895dd68974/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Rin“Well, this is the place…”
![Page 43: Servant of Evil](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062305/5681649f550346895dd68974/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Len“And I assume you also brought the glass bottle as well”
![Page 44: Servant of Evil](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062305/5681649f550346895dd68974/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Rin“Of course! We always did ‘it’ here, right?”
![Page 45: Servant of Evil](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062305/5681649f550346895dd68974/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Rin“Here’s the bottle and the paper…”
![Page 46: Servant of Evil](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062305/5681649f550346895dd68974/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
There’s a legend in this port, that if you write a message on a paper and send it to the sea in a glass bottle, the wish would come true.
![Page 47: Servant of Evil](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062305/5681649f550346895dd68974/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
That is, if the bottle didn’t break. But there was a ton of coral reefs here.
![Page 48: Servant of Evil](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062305/5681649f550346895dd68974/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
We fetched ourselves a piece of paper each, scribbled a wish on it and rolled them up.
![Page 49: Servant of Evil](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062305/5681649f550346895dd68974/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Rin gave me the bottle and I put the two pieces of paper inside it.
![Page 50: Servant of Evil](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062305/5681649f550346895dd68974/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Len“There!”
![Page 51: Servant of Evil](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062305/5681649f550346895dd68974/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
I put the bottle on the seawater and let the wave take the message into the sea.
![Page 52: Servant of Evil](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062305/5681649f550346895dd68974/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
We watched as the glass bottle drifted away, farther and farther into the horizon.
![Page 53: Servant of Evil](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062305/5681649f550346895dd68974/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
Len“I think that’s it”
![Page 54: Servant of Evil](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062305/5681649f550346895dd68974/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
Rin nodded in response, and we started walking back home.
![Page 55: Servant of Evil](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062305/5681649f550346895dd68974/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
This was actually fun. But the castle is a long walk to the center of the city and it’s dusk already.
![Page 56: Servant of Evil](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062305/5681649f550346895dd68974/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
I wonder if anybody had noticed that we were away all this time…
![Page 57: Servant of Evil](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062305/5681649f550346895dd68974/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
Suddenly I was grabbed by the collar roughly, and was pulled back before I could react.
![Page 58: Servant of Evil](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062305/5681649f550346895dd68974/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
I tried to scream, but whoever it is, though I’m sure it was an adult, covered my mouth with his hand.
![Page 59: Servant of Evil](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062305/5681649f550346895dd68974/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
I bit the hand, and the person- I was made sure that it was an adult man by his sound, shouted in slight pain.
![Page 60: Servant of Evil](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062305/5681649f550346895dd68974/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
I struggled harder, trying to get free, but instead he muffled me again, with a piece of cloth this time.
![Page 61: Servant of Evil](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062305/5681649f550346895dd68974/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)
But as I breathed air from the cloth, suddenly I felt drowsy and dizzy at the same time.
![Page 62: Servant of Evil](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062305/5681649f550346895dd68974/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
No, this is not the time for fainting…
![Page 63: Servant of Evil](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062305/5681649f550346895dd68974/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)
Rin“Le~n! Where are you…?”
![Page 64: Servant of Evil](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062305/5681649f550346895dd68974/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)
I would have answered if I could, but I can’t even open my eyes.
![Page 65: Servant of Evil](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062305/5681649f550346895dd68974/html5/thumbnails/65.jpg)
Sorry, Rin… I failed my role as a brother…
