The Daughter of Evil - Volume 1 - Chapter 3.23

Chapter 3: Section 2: Scene 3 
♦Allen~Lucifenian Palace’s “The Servant Room”~

“……… It started”

Hearing the noises outside, Mariam whispered.

Only two people were in the servant room, me and Mariam. The other servants have already escaped. Ney and Chartette too.

“That brat Ney, leaving without even telling me… Sure enough we have a mother and daughter relation, in all aspects”

“……”

“Go, Allen. While you still have the chance. This is your only chance to escape”

“Like I said last time, although I said it to Elluka… I will protect Riliane”

Mariam sighed.

“Lady Mariam… what do you intend to do?”

“I will fight till the last minute….I don’t have intention to die, I want to test my limit(?)”

…..死ぬつもりはないわよ。でもね、できる限りのことはしておきたいの。”

Miriam grabbed something from the shelf, somewhat like a knife.

“I will let them see… The ambition of the three heroes. Goodbye Allen… Prince Alexiel. If we two alive, let’s meet again”

Mariam left the room.

“Mariam… a harsh but gentle person. If mother would still be alive, would she also be like her?”

“Are you still alive, Allen?

Next to enter the servants room was Gast.

“We lost the fight”

Gast said while looking out the window.

What does he want to say?

“I have received your favor so much. I came to say a Farewell”

“…… Do you intend to escape?”

“Don’t put on the sad face. I was originally a mercenary. I have no obligation to this country. Please convey to the princess that I do not need the money anymore”

I come up with a bag full of gold coins from the shelf and gave it to Gast. This was the money I earned from working in the palace.

“….What’s your plan? with this”

“I will use these to hire you again. Please protect the palace… Protect princess Riliane until the last minute!”

“Did you not understand what I said? I don’t want money. Particularly, a servant like you, why go so far as to…”

“The princess is… Riliane is my twin sister”

A long silence.

Gast looked at my face… No, he looked at my eyes, as if he saw something from my eyes.

He’s not taking his eyes off. I don’t know why but I’m also staring at Gast’s eyes.

“…… Hmm, HAHAHA, HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!”

Suddenly, Gast started laughing. Is something wrong?

(?)“HA HA HA, right, a twin sister? You, for your sister, the daughter of evil, also sold your soul to the Asmodin demon? You guys are downright evil. But in my opinion, the revolution was caused by the princess herself! HA HA HA!”(?)

“… Yes, I am the evil person. Maybe. The Royal Palace was overrun; it can also be said as retribution from god. However, even if this is retribution, it will not let it happen!”

Gast laughed. After a while, he returned to normal and said:

“Very well, I change my mind. From now on, you are my employer and I will fight for you and the princess… Anyway, I’m looking for a suitable manner of death. A knight dies while protecting the princess… Fair enough”

Gast pulled out his sword and confirmed its condition then sheathed it.

“Good bye, catch you later, Servant of Evil”

“… Thank you very much”

Gast looked at my eyes again then turned around.

“Hey, you were just like the old me”

He slowly moved towards the door, then he murmured.

“You are the same as me…. evil”
