Plot Summary
Note: Improved Summary Pending until full translations are acquired. 473 years later, while waiting for his wife and daughter to return home, Gallerian Marlon has just finished reading a book called Daughter of Evil, given by the mysterious playwright named Ma. Gallerian tells Ma that the whole story that he remembers is quite dramatically different than the one Ma given him, although Ma insisted that the book was telling the truth.

Gallerian then reveals that after Lucifenia gained its independence, his ancestor, Kyle Marlon, has ceded his throne to one of his brothers. Elluka and Gumillia were involved in an incident with "Lemy the Ripper", affiliated with Julia Abelard and the criminal organization known as Pere Noël. Germaine and Chartette Langley traveled eastward and Gallerian suspects that Germaine may be connected to Julia somehow.

Gallerian asks Ma why Abyss I.R. is collecting the Vessels of Sin. Ma merely replies that if all of them were collected, a wish will come true. Seeing that he is wealthy already, Gallerian had no use for them. Ma then leaves and while Gallerian was taking a nap, one of his servants informs him that his wife and daughter were killed by a giant octopus while crossing the sea.
