The Servant of Evil

"I will protect you, so just be somewhere, smiling."

- Allen Avadonia

The Servant of Evil is a song released by Akuno-P on April 29, 2008. It is the second song in Story of Evil and serves as a response to The Daughter of Evil.

Plot
The song takes place in Lucifenia, where the servant, Allen Avadonia, serves the Princess Riliane. He reveals he is her twin brother, separated from her due to "selfish adult reasons." The servant promises that even if the rest of the world turns against her, he'll continue to protect her. One day, he goes to visit the kingdom of Elphegort, and he falls in love with Michaela. However, Kyle Marlon has also fallen in love with her and the jealous Riliane desires her death. Though Allen states he will always grant her wish, he wonders why his tears won't stop falling. Sometime after the event, he serves Riliane brioche for a snack and sees her laugh innocently.

Posterior, the Lucifenian Revolution starts and Allen realizes Riliane will be killed. Despite acknowledging this might be just fate, he still swears to protect her. He has her switch clothes with him, stating that because they were twins, no one will notice. As the princess, he is arrested and Riliane escapes. Following his imprisonment, he is executed, and Riliane watches in the crowd as he says her favorite line. During the last few moments of his life, Allen wishes:


 * "If we could be reborn, I would like to play with you again."

Composition
In its initial release, the song utilized Kagamine Rin and Len 's VOCALOID2 voicebank, but later updated the vocals with the ACT2 version. Rin as a background vocal until the execution and she sings during the last prechorus with different lyrics.The instruments used in the original song included electronic organ, bass, piano, musicbox, drum, cymbals and a sound effect for the guillotine.

The original version uses a scale of D flat, tranposes into the scale of B flat for the chorus, a tempo of 120 bpm, a meter of 4/4, and range from about F4-A5. The song uses the following pattern:

C (Instrum.); V - PreC - R - C; V - PreC - R- C ;(Instrum.); V - PreC - R - C; V - PreC - C; Coda (Instrum.)

The song starts with the chorus and the instrumental version of the chorus. The songs repeats the sequence of a verse, pre-chorus (climbing verse to the chorus), recitative (short speaking portion) and a chorus, four times. In the middle of the two sequence is the instrumental variation of the first two lines of the chorus. After the last chorus, a coda (an addition that brings a song to a close) follows abruptly and the song ends with the instrumental chorus. Interestingly, the song structure parallels the Daughter of Evil.

Another rearranged version of the song with an updated PV was released by mothy, titled "The Servant of Evil ~velvet mix~" in celebration of Len's second anniversary. The instruments used in the remix are flutes, music, drums, organ, strings, piano and a bloodier sounding guillotine.

Regret Message
Regret Message recounts Riliane's actions after The Daughter of Evil, detailing her repentance and efforts to cope with what she has done by means of the titular message to Allen for his sacrifice.

The Daughter of White
The Daughter of White details how Allen managed to manifest next to his sister after his death, ultimately preventing her death at the hands of Clarith.

Conceptualization and Origin

 * The Lucifenian Revolution is based on historical events of the French Revolution, as Lucifenia itself is based on France and Riliane on Marie Antoinette.
 * 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, "His significance of existence", is a reference to Allen's dedication to Riliane's happiness, cherishing her above anyone else.
 * Riliane and Allen's switch may be a callback to A Tale of Two Cities.

Curiosities

 * When text appears on the third bridge, Allen is instead referred to as his representative Vocaloid Len.
 * Another odd thing about is that Allen quips, "I am no prince, I am your servant" meaning that he must have revealed that they were twins when they met.
 * Several of the lyrics during the song mirror that of The Daughter of Evil.
 * Preceding each chorus, quotes are shown relating to the scene depicted, colored to indicate the character speaking; these quotes are later seen in The Daughter of Evil: Clôture of Yellow.
 * A manga adaptation of the song was serialized, albeit a non-canon spin-off; a canon prequel to the song's novel adaptation was later released, titled "Servant of Evil ~ Opera Buffa! ~".
 * The song's final line is referenced in Wooden Girl ~Thousand Year Wiegenlied~, begun by Michaela but left incomplete as she dies.
 * The song was rearranged by mothy shortly after the release of Kagamine Len ACT 2, titled "The Servant of Evil (Modified Version)", a revised track to improve the smoothness of sound quality while keeping it close to the sound of the original ACT 1 song.
 * Another rearranged version of the song with an updated PV was released by mothy, titled "The Servant of Evil ~velvet mix~" in celebration of Len's second anniversary.
 * Both the song and its prequel were also rearranged as a single song titled "The Daughter and Servant of Evil", an instrumental track included in Four Melodies of Evil ~The Daughter of Evil Novel Music Collection~.
 * The Daughter and Servant of Evil, along with another arrangement by Travolta, titled "The Servant of Evil Arranged Version", was included in The Daughter of Evil: BGM Collection for Reading in promotion of The Daughter of Evil: Act 1.
 * The Servant of Evil is featured in the 3DS game, Hatsune Miku and Future Stars: Project Mirai.
