"Ah ha ha ha ha. Now, kneel to me!"

The Prince of Evil is a song released on April 10, 2010. It is part of the Seven Deadly Sins Series, describing the epitome of Vanity, and is the first song in Story of Evil.

Plot
The song takes place in Lucifenia, a country stated to be of unspeakable inhumanity, and ruled by a fourteen year old prince,Alexiel Lucifen d'Autriche. The song goes on to list how he has a maid that shares his face, a horse named Innovator, and all the treasures of the world. He acquired these treasures from stealing money from the peasants in his kingdom and he expresses an intent to destroy everyone in his way.

On top of this, the song reveals he loves Michaela, the green haired queen from another land. However, instead of him, she chooses Kyle. Fueled by rage, he orders the destruction of the man's kingdom and all the men in it. Many houses are burned down and many people suffer, but Alexiel is only concerned with snack time.

Finally, all the citizens of Lucifenia conspire to take down the princess, though it would be hard. They are led by a Swordswoman wearing Shining armor, and are not stopped by the soldiers due to the tolls of the war with Marlon. They finally surrounded the court, all the servants having, to all appearances, already fled. The "prince" does not put up a fight and is finally captured. He's scheduled to be executed at three o'clock. At that time, he looks upon the crowd and simply says "It's time for my snack" before the guillotine kills him.

Conceptualization and Origin

 * The Lucifenian Revolution is based on historical events of the French Revolution, as Lucifenia itself is based on France.
 * The phrase "of Evil" (aku no) is commonly used to characterize the songs' themes such as "Story of Evil" and "Deadly Sins of Evil"; the creator of the Evillious Chronicles, mothy, also uses the name "Akuno-P".
 * The song's English title, "The Prince of Lucifer", is a reference to Lucifer, the patron demon of Pride.
 * The song mentions The Prince of Evil owning a horse; the horse is often the representative animal of vanity.

Curiosities

 * Several of the lyrics during the song mirror that of The Maid of Evil..
 * Allen's pose in the original song PV is similar to the Evils Court depiction of the Master of the Heavenly Yard.
 * Although the original PV portrays MEIKO as the knight, this was later changed in the novels due to lack of sense making.
