Talk:Story of Evil/@comment-4134422-20120413032213

Kinda, but mostly because the one he loved died.

It's curious how mothy shows the scenes in both novels: In the 1st one Allen, a night after Riliane ordered him to kill Michaela, thinks that killing her is equal to betray her, as he would be "bearing a heavy cross". When he gets to the well... nothing but a scream.

No, literally. The paragraph IS a scream.

In the 2nd he gets to the well a holds Michaela in his arms (she was about to die) and confessed that even that he just saw her twice (3 if you count when he came to check after knowing her location), he loved her, while Michaela thought to herself "just like Kyle... he, he... how foolish", wanting to meet Clarith and tell she loved her... Allen's screams was the last thing she heard.

Of course Allen never knew it was Ney who killed her, just that she told Riliane:

He entered a room where Rilane and Ney where talking and Riliane made him come in, saying that it concerned him. Ney said "I'm sorry Allen... I couldn't keep quiet". That's when she ordered him using the "wish on a bottle".

Unfortunately it's never shown how Allen told Kyle about Michaela per se, only this scene with Germaine:

After "Riliane" was arrested (and after her eye wound healed which was made by Gast), Germaine went to visit "her" and when she was about to leave she realized it was him. Then the book shows the scene when the twins traded places. Allen told Germaine that Kyle visited him before, having realized "she" wasn't Riliane. Then he says that upon "confessing" to him he "killed" Michaela, he beated the cr** out of him and left.

That's it.

About Red Praeludium, well... if you would be under the influence of a demon and someone tells you that you were next to the love of your life's killer... what would you do?

That kinda sums it up, don't you agree?

I wanna leave the Story Overview open for now. Since the novel is still under (unnoficial) translation, there's a lot of information yet to cover. And for what I've read up to dat, there's still not much going on:

-Prologue-

"Rin" thinks how her heart is healing little by little after these 5 years. Yukina gets to the monastery.

-1st chapter-

Yukina got to a town in the Retasan territory, near to Belzenia's entrance gate. Met Lily. Entrance to Belzenia denied. Stayed on an hostal. Discovered why Lily hates to be called by her name. Access granted (after 26 days)... just when Lily recieved a report that the Marlon army is coming.
