The Daughter of Evil - Volume 1 - Chapter 4.4

Chapter 4: Scene 4 
♦Allen ~ Five days ago, Lucifenian Palace’s “Riliane’s Room” ~

“Hahaha! I didn’t expect this dress is suitable for you Allen”

Riliane said in a teasing tone and while wearing my servant clothes.

I asked her to swap clothes with me. I copied her hairstyle and wore her dress.

“It’s like we would appear that we are like twins, Allen…”

Yes, we really are.

“But, even though your clothes look s very shabby, they’re surprisingly comfortable” Indeed. Servant’s clothes are more lighter and comfortable than those of Riliane’s clothes.

Therefore…

“If you wear this clothes,  you should be able to escape the palace”

After hearing of what I said, Riliane’s smile disappeared.

“Allen… What are you talking about?”

 “Riliane, if you were this clothes and escape through the channels(?), your horse – Josephine – is waiting for you outside. Ride on her and ran away to a place where the revolutionary army will not find you”

“That’s nonsense! If they knew I wasn’t in the palace, they would send out search teams to find me”

“It’s alright. It doesn’t matter”

I will show off the skirt in a circular way.

“The Princess is right here”

I will stay here and act as bait. If they capture me, the revolutionary army will no longer look for a mere servant.

“No! Absolutely not! Even if we look alike, you will eventually be exposed”

I gently hugged Riliane.

Although we differ in gender, but the difference is physically small. Her body is just more slimmer and thin… and warmer.

“It doesn’t matter. They don’t know that we are twins and you’re my twin sister. They will not recognize you”

“Ha…?”

“You may not remember it, but I have not forgotten about you. When I was brought here by Leonhart to practice fencing, as well as being your servant, I always, always…”

Riliane was confused like she couldn’t understand what I was saying.

“Why…? If you do that, Allen, you will die right? You will get killed right? Why Allen, why…”

“Riliane… You have been an evil girl… If you are an evil girl, then your evil blood also flows through me. If you are the Daughter of Evil, the I’m the Servant of Evil. So it doesn’t matter. I will take you place here while you live on…”

“……No… I don’t want that, Allen…”

Riliane said while sobbing.

“Do not cry. Riliane is already a woman and women don’t cry. Ah, yes, it doesn’t matter anymore anyway, because you’re no longer the Daughter of Evil”

I let go of Riliane, walked out of the room and closed it.

“…Allen! Wait!”

Riliane tried to open the door but it cannot be opened; I locked the door from the outside.

“Did you know, Riliane. There is a small device about the door, so it can prevent the door from opening from the inside. When were young, whenever we got into trouble, our mother the Queen would lock us in here to teach us a lesson, before forgiving us. Meanwhile, we hugged each other and cried…”

Riliane’s voice could be heard on the other side of the door.

“…… I have no idea, I can’t remember. Allen, please tell me… Please me more about our past…”

“……Good bye Riliane, I will go now. Hurry and escape through the channel(?)”

I left the door and walked away”

“Wait! Don’t go…”

Riliane cried in a weak voice, desperately banging on the door.

“Please, don’t leave me alone…”

All right, all right. Right now, I am the “Daughter of Evil”, I have to be a strong girl. So…

I should never cry.
