The Evil Girl
Rillianne Lucifen d'Autriche, princess of the kingdom of Lucifenia
Once upon a time, in a certain place, there was a kingdom that had obtained great luxuries. The one who rules over that kingdom is a young princess still at the age of fourteen ...
"Now, kneel before me!"
Once upon a time there was a certain
treacherous kingdom.
Ruling from the summit
Is a fourteen-year-old princess.
She had splendid furniture,
A servant who closely resembled her,
And a beloved horse named Josephine.
All this and more belonged to her.
"If there's not enough money,
Squeeze it out of the stupid commoners.
Anyone who defies me--
Purge them all."
"Now, kneel before me!"
The flower of evil blooms sweetly
With vivid colors.
All the pitiful weeds around you,
Ahh, they nourish you and rot away.
The tyrant princess's love was
A blue man from across the sea.
However, he was enchanted by
The green woman from the next kingdom.
Possessed by jealousy, the princess
One day summoned her minister.
In a quiet voice, she said,
"Destroy the Green Kingdom."
Though many homes were burned down
And many lives were lost,
The cries of the suffering people
Could not reach the princess.
"Oh, it's tea-time!"
The flower of evil blooms sweetly
With maddening colors.
Even though you're a very beautiful flower,
Aah, there are too many thorns to touch you.
In order to defeat the evil princess,
The people finally gathered.
Leading this rabble was
A swordswoman in red armor.
With all their expectations gathered, their rage
Enveloped the entire kingdom.
Worn out by the long war,
Her soldiers weren't any challenge at all.
Finally the royal palace was surrounded.
All her vassals had fled.
The lovely and delicate princess
Was finally captured.
"You insolent fool!"
The flower of evil blooms sweetly
With sad colors.
The paradise made for her,
Ahh, it was fragile and crumbling away.
Once upon a time a certain
treacherous kingdom
Was ruled from the summit
By a fourteen-year-old princess.
The execution was set at three p.m.
When the bells of the church ring.
What did that person called a princess think,
Alone in that jail cell?
Finally that time has come.
The bells ringing to signal the end.
Without looking upon the populace,
--She said this:
"Oh, it's tea-time!"
The flower of evil falls sweetly
With vivid colors.
Later when people spoke of this, they said:
"Ahh, she truly was an evil girl."

The Servant of Evil
Allen Avadonia, manservant/[Alexiel Lucifen d'Autriche, prince of Lucifenia]
Once upon a time, in a certain place, there was a kingdom that had obtained great luxuries. That the one who supported that kingodm's young princess was a servant with a face that closely resembled hers ...
You are the princess and I am a servant;
We are pitiful twins separated by fate.
In order to protect you
I would commit any evil.
We were born into a great hope,
Blessed by the church's bells.
But through the whim of adults,
Our future was split in two.
Even if the entire world
Should become your enemy,
I will protect you, therefore
Please keep smiling.
You are the princess and I am a servant;
We are pitiful twins separated by fate.
In order to protect you
I will commit any evil.
One time we went to the neighboring country,
And in the city I saw a green girl
With a gentle voice and smile.
I fell in love at first sight.
However, if the princess wishes for
That girl to be erased,
Then I will answer that.
What's wrong? The tears won't stop.
You are the princess and I am a servant;
We are maddened twins separated by fate.
"Today's snack is brioche!"
You smile so innocently.
Soon this country will come to an end
By the hands of the angry people.
If you call this punishment,
Then I will dare to defy it.
"Here, I'll lend you my clothes.
Wear these and escape right now.
It's all right, we're twins!
Surely no one will notice."
I am the princess and you are a fugitive;
We are mournful twins separated by fate.
And if they say you are evil,
Then within me the same blood flows.
Once upon a time,
A certain treacherous kingdom
Was ruled at its peak by
My darling sister.
Even if the entire world (Finally the time has come)
Were to become your enemy (With the bells ringing out the end)
Because I will protect you (Without looking upon the populace)
Smile for me wherever you are (You said my favorite phrase)
You are the princess and I am a servant;
We are pitiful twins separated by fate.
In order to protect you
I would commit any evil.
Should we be reborn,
Then let's play together again, all right?

Regret Message
"Rin"/[Rillianne Lucifen d'Autriche, princess of Lucifenia]
At a small port on the edge of town, a girl stands alone.
Since long ago, there's been a secret legend about this ocean.
"Put a paper with your wish written on it into a glass bottle.
If you let the ocean carry it, your hopes will one day bear fruit."
That glass bottle flows away
With the message that carries my wish
And disappears quietly at the edge of the horizon.
Even though you always did everything for me,
I was always just selfish and bothered you
Since you, who granted my wishes, are now gone,
Will this ocean accept my request instead?
My tiny wish flows away
With tears and a faint regret
That we always realize our sins after everything has ended
That glass bottle flows away
With the message that carries my wish
And disappears quietly at the edge of the horizon.
My tiny wish flows away,
With tears and a faint regret
"Should we be reborn--

Re_birthday
Allen Avadonia, manservant/[Alexiel Lucifen d'Autriche, prince of Lucifenia]
When I woke I was alone
In a room that was completely black.
I couldn't see anything, I couldn't hear anything,
Shivering alone in the dark.
In the ceiling was a large hole.
If one looked closely, one could see a giant mechanism.
From there, unexpectedly echoing,
Came a terrible faceless voice.
"Deeply sinful boy,
You will be here forever.
You cannot leave this room,"
--it said.
In that second I remembered everything,
All the many sins that were piled upon me.
I realized the reason and end that brought me here.
And that I could not return to that time.
Then I realized around both my hands were caught in red handcuffs
That were surely the color of someone's flowing blood.
Both my legs were in blue chains
That were surely the color of someone's tears.
The "lulila lulila" song that I heard,
Is it a lullabye someone is singing ... ?
How much time has passed?
I asked the unmoving mechanism.
Suddenly from out of nowhere I heard
A singing voice that soothed me.
That day, I realized
the true meaning of that song.
And so to that lullabye
I added new words to continue it.
From a crack in the mechanism
A tiny light fell.
That is surely--
--the message you sent me.
The mechanism began to spin and addressed me softly:
"This does not mean that your sins are forgiven."
However, with the words of "water" and of "evil,"
We changed them all into a song
The red handcuffs slip off and address me:
"From hereon you will be reborn."
The blue chains slip off and say to me,
"Today is your new Birthday."
Everything began to spin and went white.
I'll be coming to see you soon.

The White Girl
Clarith, a servant who became a nun
"I'm sorry for being alive," that was my favorite saying,
Always confessed in a small voice. My life was nothing special.
Everyone in my village had beautiful green hair,
But I, without any friends--unlike everyone else, had white hair.
Secretly, deep in the forest, where the towering thousand-year tree stands:
There, all alone, I made a wish to the gods.
Continuing to live in solitude--that's very sad.
I don't care who, but someone please become my friend.
I met her there right by the thousand-year tree.
It was when I helped her that everyone began.
Before I knew it, the two of us had become very good friends.
However, she and I were nothing alike.
She had green hair more beautiful than anyone else in the village.
With that gentle voice and smile, anyone would love her.
Why are you being so kind to someone like me?
Is it because you pity a woman lower than you?
She embraced my pathetic self and whispered,
"You're more wonderful than anyone else." My tears fell.
Even if everyone in the world were to look down on me and sneer,
As long as someone found me important, I'd be happy with just that.
We left the village and began living in the city.
Even though we had no experience in this life, if we were together it was fine.
The servants of an affluent merchant's lady--
In order to live, that was the work we chose.
That day, from his mansion, a blue-haired nobleman saw her.
His meeting with her was where everything started to go wrong.
He was the king of the country by the sea, and he loved her deeply,
Enough to reject the proposal of the neighboring kingdom's princess.
The horrors of war wrapped our country with the princess's order:
"All of the women with green hair--kill them."
Each and every one of them died,
Except for me, with white hair.
Even though I would have been happy to die in her place,
Why--why--?
"I'm sorry for being alive," that was my favorite saying,
Always confessed in a small voice. My life was nothing special.
At the church of a port city, I began a new life.
I heard murmured rumors that the princess died in the revolution.
I met her there right by the church.
It was when I helped her that everything began.
Before I knew it, the two of us had become very good friends.
However, she and I were nothing alike.
In a confessional one empty night,
By coincidence I heard her confession.
Ah, how could this be--
She is absolutely
That "Evil Girl"
At a small port at the edge of town, that girl stands alone.
I approach her from behind, taking a knife from my breast.
Aiming it at the princess's back, I raised it high--
I have to apologize to you for something I couldn't do:
In the end, I couldn't avenge you.
That girl is me from long ago, a very very solitary person.
Living on by yourself--that's very lonely.
That girl who couldn't do anything slowly improved her cooking.
The brioche she baked today was very well-made.
Back then, by that seaside, that illusion I saw for just a second
I wonder just who on earth that boy was?
♯♯♯♯♯
The Wooden Maiden ~ The Thousand-Year Wiegenlied ~
Michaela, a spirit who became human
"I'm sorry for being alive."
The girl who mumbled this,
Unlike the rest of the village, had white hair.
By the thousand-year tree deep in the forest,
She knelt and wished, "I want a friend."
I wanted to be able
To grant her wish,
But with this body, I could not.
At that time, she randomly appeared,
That capricious sorceress.
And so I, a spirit
Was reborn as human.
I still didn't know anything about the world outside the forest.
That's why I didn't understand--why was that girl crying?
Even though the peaceful tedium
Should be a wonderful thing--
That's why I didn't understand
Why are you crying?
The pair with different dreams, bloodlines, and values
Now meet
This thousand-year vow echoes to the end of the earth,
The wiegenlied that connects to that destructive fate.
Though I am different from you,
I was drawn to you.
Because I will protect you,
Stay by my side.
The spirit me was changed into a human me.
If I have this form then maybe I can understand you.
Living in a new town
Wouldn't shake my heart.
No matter where we are, if we're together
We'll be all right.
And slowly I started to understand the joys of living as a human.
This thousand-year vow will echo over the sky,
The wiegenlied that connects to that destructive fate.
Though there is some loneliness in how we've changed,
If I can see your smile, I'm fine.
At an evening dinner party
I met the king of a seaside country,
And from there the fate of destruction began.
Because he loved me, the flames of neighboring kingdom's princess's rage
Over her rejected proposal enveloped our kingdom.
The two of us were torn apart,
And now I understand my feelings for you.
This thousand-year vow will echo to you.
Even if I cannot return to being a spirit,
I've made this vow and I won't falter any more:
I love you.
If you should survive this
And we could be reunited,
Then let's live together peacefully in the forest.
I will be waiting here forever.
At the bottom of the dark well,
In the night sky is the beautiful moon,
And buried deep in my chest is a knife.
My golden-haired assassin has departed
For somewhere else,
Taking that ill intent into the darkness.
Your shining white hair,
Your clumsy smile--
Please, oh please,
Be alive,
And continue to live on.
If somehow I were to meet you, I have something I want to tell you.
If somehow I were reborn,
If I were reborn ...

handbeat clocktower
Kyle Marlon, the king of the Marlon kingdom + Yukina Freeis, the daughter of a merchant
At the top of the clock tower, sitting in a chair and smiling--
Are you a demon? Or my mother ...
The ticking seconds shake
The soul of normalcy.
At the top of the clocktower--
Is it justice? Or poison?
As you continue up the spiral staircase,
The sound of the hands echo,
Carving out time and discord in my heart.
Drowning in selfishness, with hands stained in sin,
This blade meant for atonement:
Who should I wield it against?
That day, with these hands, I painted
The portrait of a girl.
Those faint memories were
The beginning of my madness.
From a single woman it was born--
A strange malice,
And with seven nightmares, it destroyed everything.
However, because the truth path
Still hasn't disappeared,
The dramatic story "of evil"
Now comes to a close.
I won't falter any more, even if it is an unavoidable fight--
Even if I must turn a blade towards you.
At the top of the clock tower, sitting in a chair and smiling--
Are you a demon? Or my mother ...
Someone, someone, please tell me:
What is the true meaning of "evil"?
I have only one hope and more than enough despair
Within my lifeless heart.
Though there isn't much I can do,
I'll grasp those hands tightly,
Forever praying
For the continuing rain to stop.
The sound of the giant hand echoes with someone's sneering voice.
There's no longer anyone but madmen in the handbeat clocktower.
If someday the time comes when we can laugh at this anguish,
Then with these hands I'll write the true story.
I won't falter any more, even if it is an unavoidable fight--
Even if I have to turn a blade towards you.
At the top of the clocktower, sitting in a chair and rotting away--
Are you a demon? Or the person who was my mother ...

With vivid colors.

Ahh, they nourish you and rot away.

A blue man from across the sea.
However, he was enchanted by
The green woman from the next kingdom.

Once upon a time, in a certain place, there was a kingdom that had obtained great luxuries. That the one who supported that kingodm's young princess was a servant with a face that closely resembled hers ...
You are the princess and I am a servant;
We are pitiful twins separated by fate.
In order to protect you
I would commit any evil.
We were born into a great hope,
Blessed by the church's bells.
But through the whim of adults,
Our future was split in two.
Even if the entire world
Should become your enemy,
I will protect you, therefore
Please keep smiling.
You are the princess and I am a servant;
We are pitiful twins separated by fate.
In order to protect you
I will commit any evil.
One time we went to the neighboring country,
And in the city I saw a green girl
With a gentle voice and smile.
I fell in love at first sight.
However, if the princess wishes for
That girl to be erased,
Then I will answer that.
What's wrong? The tears won't stop.
You are the princess and I am a servant;
We are maddened twins separated by fate.
"Today's snack is brioche!"
You smile so innocently.
Soon this country will come to an end
By the hands of the angry people.
If you call this punishment,
Then I will dare to defy it.
"Here, I'll lend you my clothes.
Wear these and escape right now.
It's all right, we're twins!
Surely no one will notice."
I am the princess and you are a fugitive;
We are mournful twins separated by fate.
And if they say you are evil,
Then within me the same blood flows.
Once upon a time,
A certain treacherous kingdom
Was ruled at its peak by
My darling sister.
Even if the entire world (Finally the time has come)
Were to become your enemy (With the bells ringing out the end)

Regret Message
"Rin"/[Rillianne Lucifen d'Autriche, princess of Lucifenia]
At a small port on the edge of town, a girl stands alone.
Since long ago, there's been a secret legend about this ocean.
"Put a paper with your wish written on it into a glass bottle.
If you let the ocean carry it, your hopes will one day bear fruit."
That glass bottle flows away
With the message that carries my wish
And disappears quietly at the edge of the horizon.
Even though you always did everything for me,
I was always just selfish and bothered you
Since you, who granted my wishes, are now gone,
Will this ocean accept my request instead?
My tiny wish flows away
With tears and a faint regret
That we always realize our sins after everything has ended
That glass bottle flows away
With the message that carries my wish
And disappears quietly at the edge of the horizon.
My tiny wish flows away,
With tears and a faint regret
"Should we be reborn--

Re_birthday
Allen Avadonia, manservant/[Alexiel Lucifen d'Autriche, prince of Lucifenia]
When I woke I was alone
In a room that was completely black.
I couldn't see anything, I couldn't hear anything,
Shivering alone in the dark.
In the ceiling was a large hole.
If one looked closely, one could see a giant mechanism.
From there, unexpectedly echoing,
Came a terrible faceless voice.
"Deeply sinful boy,
You will be here forever.
You cannot leave this room,"
--it said.
In that second I remembered everything,
All the many sins that were piled upon me.
I realized the reason and end that brought me here.
And that I could not return to that time.
Then I realized around both my hands were caught in red handcuffs
That were surely the color of someone's flowing blood.
Both my legs were in blue chains
That were surely the color of someone's tears.
The "lulila lulila" song that I heard,
Is it a lullabye someone is singing ... ?
How much time has passed?
I asked the unmoving mechanism.
Suddenly from out of nowhere I heard
A singing voice that soothed me.
That day, I realized
the true meaning of that song.
And so to that lullabye
I added new words to continue it.
From a crack in the mechanism
A tiny light fell.
That is surely--
--the message you sent me.
The mechanism began to spin and addressed me softly:
"This does not mean that your sins are forgiven."
However, with the words of "water" and of "evil,"
We changed them all into a song
The red handcuffs slip off and address me:
"From hereon you will be reborn."
The blue chains slip off and say to me,
"Today is your new Birthday."
Everything began to spin and went white.
I'll be coming to see you soon.

The White Girl
Clarith, a servant who became a nun
"I'm sorry for being alive," that was my favorite saying,
Always confessed in a small voice. My life was nothing special.
Everyone in my village had beautiful green hair,
But I, without any friends--unlike everyone else, had white hair.
Secretly, deep in the forest, where the towering thousand-year tree stands:
There, all alone, I made a wish to the gods.
Continuing to live in solitude--that's very sad.

Before I knew it, the two of us had become very good friends.
However, she and I were nothing alike.
She had green hair more beautiful than anyone else in the village.
With that gentle voice and smile, anyone would love her.
Why are you being so kind to someone like me?
Is it because you pity a woman lower than you?
She embraced my pathetic self and whispered,
"You're more wonderful than anyone else." My tears fell.
Even if everyone in the world were to look down on me and sneer,
As long as someone found me important, I'd be happy with just that.
We left the village and began living in the city.
Even though we had no experience in this life, if we were together it was fine.
The servants of an affluent merchant's lady--
In order to live, that was the work we chose.

Why--why--?
"I'm sorry for being alive," that was my favorite saying,

Aiming it at the princess's back, I raised it high--
I have to apologize to you for something I couldn't do:
In the end, I couldn't avenge you.
That girl is me from long ago, a very very solitary person.
Living on by yourself--that's very lonely.
That girl who couldn't do anything slowly improved her cooking.
The brioche she baked today was very well-made.
Back then, by that seaside, that illusion I saw for just a second
I wonder just who on earth that boy was?
♯♯♯♯♯
The Wooden Maiden ~ The Thousand-Year Wiegenlied ~
Michaela, a spirit who became human
"I'm sorry for being alive."
The girl who mumbled this,
Unlike the rest of the village, had white hair.
By the thousand-year tree deep in the forest,
She knelt and wished, "I want a friend."
I wanted to be able
To grant her wish,
But with this body, I could not.
At that time, she randomly appeared,
That capricious sorceress.
And so I, a spirit
Was reborn as human.
I still didn't know anything about the world outside the forest.
That's why I didn't understand--why was that girl crying?
Even though the peaceful tedium
Should be a wonderful thing--
That's why I didn't understand
Why are you crying?
The pair with different dreams, bloodlines, and values
Now meet
This thousand-year vow echoes to the end of the earth,
The wiegenlied that connects to that destructive fate.
Though I am different from you,
I was drawn to you.
Because I will protect you,
Stay by my side.
The spirit me was changed into a human me.
If I have this form then maybe I can understand you.
Living in a new town
Wouldn't shake my heart.
No matter where we are, if we're together
We'll be all right.
And slowly I started to understand the joys of living as a human.
This thousand-year vow will echo over the sky,
The wiegenlied that connects to that destructive fate.
Though there is some loneliness in how we've changed,
If I can see your smile, I'm fine.
At an evening dinner party
I met the king of a seaside country,
And from there the fate of destruction began.
Because he loved me, the flames of neighboring kingdom's princess's rage
Over her rejected proposal enveloped our kingdom.
The two of us were torn apart,
And now I understand my feelings for you.
This thousand-year vow will echo to you.
Even if I cannot return to being a spirit,
I've made this vow and I won't falter any more:
I love you.
| Clarith: | Michaela: |
| Even if the entire world were to laugh at me in contempt, As long as one person thought I was necessary, With just that I'd be happy. |
Even if the entire world were to laugh at you in contempt, I will protect you, so therefore, You should always smile. |
If you should survive this
And we could be reunited,
Then let's live together peacefully in the forest.
I will be waiting here forever.
At the bottom of the dark well,
In the night sky is the beautiful moon,
And buried deep in my chest is a knife.
My golden-haired assassin has departed
For somewhere else,
Taking that ill intent into the darkness.
Your shining white hair,
Your clumsy smile--
Please, oh please,
Be alive,
And continue to live on.
If somehow I were to meet you, I have something I want to tell you.
If somehow I were reborn,
If I were reborn ...

handbeat clocktower
Kyle Marlon, the king of the Marlon kingdom + Yukina Freeis, the daughter of a merchant
At the top of the clock tower, sitting in a chair and smiling--
Are you a demon? Or my mother ...
The ticking seconds shake
The soul of normalcy.
At the top of the clocktower--
Is it justice? Or poison?
As you continue up the spiral staircase,
The sound of the hands echo,
Carving out time and discord in my heart.
Drowning in selfishness, with hands stained in sin,
This blade meant for atonement:
Who should I wield it against?
That day, with these hands, I painted
The portrait of a girl.
Those faint memories were
The beginning of my madness.
From a single woman it was born--
A strange malice,
And with seven nightmares, it destroyed everything.
However, because the truth path
Still hasn't disappeared,
The dramatic story "of evil"
Now comes to a close.
I won't falter any more, even if it is an unavoidable fight--
Even if I must turn a blade towards you.
At the top of the clock tower, sitting in a chair and smiling--
Are you a demon? Or my mother ...
Someone, someone, please tell me:
What is the true meaning of "evil"?
I have only one hope and more than enough despair
Within my lifeless heart.
Though there isn't much I can do,
I'll grasp those hands tightly,
Forever praying
For the continuing rain to stop.
The sound of the giant hand echoes with someone's sneering voice.
There's no longer anyone but madmen in the handbeat clocktower.
If someday the time comes when we can laugh at this anguish,
Then with these hands I'll write the true story.
I won't falter any more, even if it is an unavoidable fight--
Even if I have to turn a blade towards you.
At the top of the clocktower, sitting in a chair and rotting away--
Are you a demon? Or the person who was my mother ...
