The Daughter of Evil - Volume 1 - Chapter 2.25

Chapter 2: Section 2: Scene 5 
♦Allen~Lucifenian Palace’s “Servant’s Room”~

Returning to the palace, I found Riliane & Ney talking in the Servant’s Room.

“About what I said… please make it confidential.”

“Ah…… Good work. That guy’s less useful.”

I hardly ever see Riliane this happy. I wonder what they’re talking about?

“Riliane, Your Highness, what is it that are you doing? Why are you in the room of the servants?”

I asked aloud. Hearing this, Ney said with a rigid expression:

“I……I think I should leave. Goodbye.”

Then, she went out the room.

“Allen……Just, sit down.”

Riliane’s tone was evidently angry.

“Where have you been?”

“Oh, we’ve ran out of Spring Onions, so I went out and bought some.”

“Oh, Spring Onions? What kind of Spring Onions? The Spring Onions are still alive, right?”

A drop of cold sweat slided on my forehead.

“…… I don’t understand what you mean.”

“Then let me rephrase that for you. The ‘Green Girl’ is still alive, right?”

My breathing suddenly became stagnant.

“The Green Girl's…… named Michaela, right? It’s the first time I’ve heard of her. Allen…… what a pity, I never expected you’ll betray me.”

Riliane took out a parchment and wrote something on top of it.

“However, I’m very good-hearted. There's…… no way I would hate you. So I would give you another chance.”

She put the parchment into a small bottle and handed it to me.

“Look at what’s inside.”

Even I know what exactly’s written on it.

—— Kill Michaela ——

Leaving the room, I saw Ney with an apologetic face outside.

“O……Oh, Allen, I’m sorry…… but…… I couldn’t remain silent.”

“It doesn’t matter, Ney. I know you had no alternative. It would’ve been known by the Queen anyway. If I were you, I would’ve done the same thing.”

“So……what are you going to do now……? Are you going to follow the Queen…… and kill…… the 'Green Girl’?”

“I……I don’t know. Maybe…… See you later……”

“Allen……”

That day, I ended up with no answer.

However, Riliane shouldn’t wait for so long.

The Queen has ordered me to eliminate Michaela; I had to respond. And I vowed, as long as it’s for the protection of Riliane, I shall be the incarnation of evil.

But……

A sleepless night finally ushered the dawn.
