"How's the taste, m'lord Rintoine?"

Alena Avadonia, born Alanrice Lucifen d'Autriche, is a princess of the Lucifenian Royal Family. To protect her sister, Prince Rintoine ,Alena returned to the palace as her twin's chamberlain. She is dubbed The Servant of Evil by Gastina Venom.

Early Life
Alanrice was born in EC 485 along with her twin brother, Rintoine, as the heirs to the Lucifenian Royal Family. In EC 491, when they were children, Alanrice conceived the idea of escaping through a secret passage past the fireplace in their room. She told Rintoine about her plan, saying that it was a secret. The twins escaped, passing through the Forest of Bewilderment before arriving at the shore of a beach. While there, Alena treated Rintoine's wound after he fell and cut himself.

While there, they dug up a small black box on the beach; inside the box was a small mirror that released a demon, which chased the twins. When confronted by the demon, Alanrice showed kindness to it and gifted it her snack. The demon thanked her kind gesture by telling her how if you wrote down your wish, put it in a bottle, and placed it on the ocean, it would come true. When it was getting dark, Alanrice wanted to go home, but Rintoine told her not to be afraid and to just hold his hand. When she did so, she felt at ease and told her about the secret of the ocean he learned.

Due to the incident, Alanrice was adopted by Lolita Avadonia, which the young princess agreed to since it would deter unnecessary conflicts over the line of succession. Adopting the name Alena, the former princess lived with Lolita and her foster brother, Germanus. Alena remained shy at the Avadonia household until Charles Langley had been kidnapped by a group of bandits, prompting Alena and Germanus to enter the Forest of Bewilderment to save him.

She began speaking with her new brother for the first time and later saved him after he too was caught by the bandits. Together, they managed to defeat the thieves and free Charles. Afterward, Lolita scolded the two and struck Alena, although Germanus would be praised for the rescue while Alena avoided the attention, letting her brother take all the credit.

When she was thirteen, Lolita sent Alena back to the palace to work as a maid for Rintoine after the death of Queen Alaina. Having lost his memories of Alanrice, Alena's identity remained incognito to her brother and almost everyone around her.

Reign of Evil
On Rintoine's fourteenth birthday, Alena and Charles spent the day cleaning the palace's Heavenly Yard along with six other servants. By three o'clock, Alena noted it was time for Rintoine's snack and spoke with Charles about how they needed to finish cleaning. When Charles reminded her she needed to prepare the prince's snack, she told him that Neyro Futapie had switched roles with her for the day.

Lolita arrived and checked on Alena's progress and the former princess asked how her foster brother was doing. When she learned he got in a fight, she asked if he won and the two continued chatting until Charles interrupted them. Alena became nervous once Lolita mentioned that Rintoine's horse, Joseph, was missing. Just then, Neyro shouted and the three quickly ran to him, learning that Rintoine had escaped from the palace.

Following Joseph's tracks to the Forest of Bewilderment, Alena along with a group of servants and the Lucifenian Royal Guard frantically searched for the prince. Lolita told Alena not to stray too far or she would get lost, but Alena reminded her she had been in the Forest before. Alena went ahead and found Rintoine on the beach of an anonymous coast and sighed with relief. After Rintoine noticed her, Alena told him how Lolita was worried about him. Rintoine had a tantrum because his plan to execute Lolita failed and Alena apologized.

As they were about to leave, the servant noticed he had a scratch on his hand and attempted to apply ointment to it. Surprised, Rintoine slapped her; Alena ignored it and continued to heal his wound. Alena became lost in her thoughts and was astonished when she saw she was still holding the prince's hand. Embarassed, she quickly let go and apologized again, prompting Rintoine to laugh. She suggested they head for the port town since it was faster, and reminded Rintoine to not forget Joseph at the shore.

Alena followed behind on foot, lying about her ability to ride a horse, until they reached the port down and signaled for the Royal Guard to come and take them back to the palace. That night, Alena attended the ball held in the Hall of Mirrors, tired from cleaning and searching for her brother, and was approached by Marius Futapie who was concerned about her exhaustion. Reading her thoughts, Mariusnoted Alena's concerns about her and her brother's roles and asked if the fact they had such an obvious resemblance would cause problems.

Marius noted how people had been suspicious of the similarity but that Elluki convinced them that it was a mere coincidence and that Rintoine was unlikely to remember who she was. Alena felt relieved to see Rintoine in such a good mood as she brought the food into the mirrored hall and spotted her foster mother guarding the entrance. Neyro told Alena they still had work to do, although Alena believed they did everything, and they then began moving Rintoine's gigantic birthday cake into the hall for the guests to see. As the furious Lolita left, Alena attempted to call out to her and stop her from leaving her post.

Alena and another maid, Asan, were responsible for cleaning the Hall of Sounds for the day and entered after Rintoine sentenced a politician to death. Alena watched as Rintoine returned seething and yelling for Minisa, noticing Asana looking around suspiciously. Asana suddenly assailed the prince and Alena instantly hit her to protect her brother. Using the sword she was cleaning, Alena disarmed Asana and watched as the guards seized her.

Three days later, Alena saw Rintoine storm into the kitchen demanding to know who was stealing food from the palace before learning from Neyro Futapie that it was Lolita. After dinner, Alena was ordered by Rintoine to meet her in his room. He congratulated Alena and complimented her swordplay; Alena told him she was taught by her mother since she was young, neglecting to mention her father was Lolita. Because of hir skills, Rintoine entrusted her with a message she wrote and put in a bottle: Assassinate Lolita.

Shocked, Alena paused and asked why he told her in such an odd manner, her brother responding that someone told him about it when he was young although he couldn't remember that it was Alena who told him that. Hearing his reasons for wanting to kill her foster mother, Alena finally told him she couldn't defeat Lolita with his swordplay and Rintoine replied that he had a plan to counter this. After hearing his scheme, Alena retired to her room to rest.

By the afternoon the next day, Alena still remained undecided. Neyro entered the Servant Room to take a break and told Alena that he overheard a conversation between Marius and Lolita about how Lolita made Alena Rintoine's servant so that she could assassinate him. Feeling cheated and used by her foster mother, Alena left before Neyro could finish, her mind made up.

Outside Rintoine's room that night, Alena overheard her brother and foster mother speak before he offered her some drugged wine. Three o'clock the next morning, Alena confronted Lolita in the Heavenly Yard and drew her sword, telling her drunken guardian that she must die. Dueling her, Alena found herself cornered when Lolita finally succumbed to the Chronic Anesthesia from the wine. Collapsing, Alena prepared to deal the final blow when she saw a familiar hand mirror fall from her hand.

Lolita, saying it was a belated birthday gift for Alena, told her it was a reproduction of the one owned by Rintoine. Alena asked why her mother wanted to kill her brother and ignored it when his foster mother appeared to be playing dumb. Stabbing her through the chest, Alena killed the Commander of the Royal Guard.

The Merchant of Aceid
Soon after, Alena was sent on an errand to Aceid, capital of Elphegort to meet Keela Freesis for her generous donations of food to the starving Lucifenian populace. Before leaving, she met Gumillio, Elluki's apprentice, who criticized her for not using honorifics since he was older. After Alena apologized, he asked her to deliver an "amazing spring onion" to her friend,Michael while in Aceid.

Baffled, Alena continued on her trip to the neighboring capital but asked the driver to stop hours later, unable to take the bumpy roads to the city and wishing she could burn the Forest of Bewilderment instead of going around it. The driver gave her medicine to cure the maid's nausea, telling her he often had passengers suffer motion sickness. Seeing a crowd in the streets, Alena approached them and heard the sound of a beautiful singing voice, seeing a handsome man with green hair that she instantly fell in love with. When he finished singing, the crowds cheered him and Alena learned that he was called Michael.

Alena went up and asked him if she was Gumillio's friend before delivering him the "amazing spring onion" that Elluki's apprentice gave her. When she was about to leave, Michael revealed to her that he worked at Keela's mansion and would lead her there. On their carriage ride, Alena and Michael spoke about their lives as servants before she pointed out his shell necklace given as a gift. When they finally arrived at the Freesis Mansion, Alena waited for Keela in the other room, seeing Michael and Romhycin cleaning.

Gastina Venom interceded and told Alena about Romycin's clan. Alena noted the katana she wielded and Gastina asked if Alena had heard about the Lucifenian Resistance before introducing herself as a mercenary and advertising her mercenary company, in case the Lucifenian monarchy needed her. Alena became nervous when Gastina asked if Alena had killed someone, noting the darkness in her eyes, but was invited to meet Keela before she could respond.

In the next room, Alena offered gifts to Keela for her charity to Lucifenia and the merchant gladly accepted them before showing one of her collectibles, a sword that Gastina had been interested in. Curious on Keela's reasoning, Alena inquired if she supported Lucifenia for business reasons; Mrs. Sfraz agreed and added that it was also because Princess Kyla asked her to do so. Asked if she knew any information on the state of affairs in Lucifenia, Alena answered appropriately.

Michael entered soon after and offered them brioche and tea. Alena took a taste and complimented Romycin's cooking. Keela commented on Alena's obvious feelings for Michael and told the servant he was very sought after. As Alena was about to leave, she joined Michael and her driver in a few jokes before departing for Lucifenia. Hearing Michael as he waved goodbye, Alena poked her body out the carriage window and returned the farewell, hoping to see him again.

The next day, Alena reported his discoveries about Keela to Rintoine and the other ministers. Elluki praised Alena's work and Rintoine asked her what the day's snack would be. Alena responded brioche before Minister Minisa gave her report about Marlon. Seeing the "very amazing octopus" given to Elluki, Alena asked what made it amazing, although the court mage only told her everything about it was very amazing. Afterward, he watched as Riliane discovered that Kyla had withdrawn her engagement to him, falling in love with a man with green hair.
