-->"I'll protect you... For that, I will even become evil!"
''The Daughter of Evil: Cloture of Yellow'' is the first {{Light Novel|s}} in ''The Daughter of Evil'' series of the ''Music/EvilliousChronicles'' franchise. It was written by the Japanese producer Akuno-P (Music/{{Mothy}}) and illustrated by Ichika, released in 2010. In 2014 PHP made a re-release of the novel with several revisions from ''mothy'' which expanded on several scenes.
The novelization of the ''Story of Evil'' song series, the story concerns the tyrannical Princess Riliane Lucifen d'Autriche, whose cruel and petty reign promotes political conflict and sparks a revolution among her citizens. The story centers around her long-lost twin brother turned servant, Allen Avadonia, [[BigBrotherInstinct who has sworn to protect her]] -- it also focuses on his foster sister, Germaine Avadonia, who has sworn to dethrone her.
The story is set in the Evillious equivalent of UsefulNotes/{{France}} and draws inspiration from the French Revolution while beginning a saga that hints at a much deeper story for the franchise on the whole.

!!The light novel provides examples of:
* BittersweetEnding: In the end, Germaine and Allen are able to succeed in their goals; Riliane is deposed and her people have a [[spoiler: marginally]] better future without her, while Allen [[spoiler: saves his sister by taking her place.]] Both these victories ring hollow, however, because [[spoiler: Germaine had to kill her foster brother and realizes she hurt a lot of people to achieve her revenge, while Lucifenia loses its freedom to Marlon. And, well, Allen ''dies.'']]
* BookEnds: [[spoiler: Allen's]] first and last line of dialogue is: "Oh, it's snack time."
* TheCaligula: Riliane, during the course of the novel, who taxes her subjects into starvation during a famine and executes innocent people left and right.
* DeathSeeker:
** Gast Venom states he's fighting to find a good location to die, [[spoiler: and eventually decides to make the palace of Lucifenia his final battleground. He does not hold back in battle, though, and he comes close to killing Germaine before she gets the upper hand.]]
** The revised edition of the light novel suggests Leonhart secretly wished to die for his sins as well, with him cryptically discussing how it might be better for him to step down and later forcing Allen to kill him in the duel.[[note]]Allen was prepared to let him live with his sword arm crippled, but Leonhart attacked him a final time and Allen stabbed him in the course of trying to protect himself.[[/note]]
* DeclarationOfProtection: Allen's declaration is that he will protect Riliane even if it makes him evil.
* {{Deuteragonist}}: Germaine is the second protagonist for this novel, focusing on her leading the revolution.
* DisguisedInDrag: Allen dresses himself up as a girl in order to pull off [[spoiler: the swap that saves Riliane from execution.]]
* DisproportionateRetribution: Princess Riliane's response to the man she loves rejecting her in favor of a girl from another country is to completely destroy said country, and she regularly sentences people to death for minor "crimes" such as spilling water on her dress or just looking at her the wrong way.
** In the manga we get to see a scene where she threatens to cut Allen's head off because he was winning at tag.
* DwindlingParty: They were a small party to begin with, but the Three Heroes get subjected to this early on; first Leonhart is killed, then [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere Elluka leaves,]] and [[spoiler: Mariam is finally killed in the Revolution.]]
* DyingAlone: Riliane fears this will happen to her as the Resistance breaks into the palace and all her other servants have fled.
* FalseConfession: Allen tells Kyle that [[spoiler: he's the one who killed Michaela, even though he doesn't know who actually did it.]]
* ForegoneConclusion: From the songs. [[spoiler: The revolution is successful, and Allen pulls a switch with Riliane and is executed in her place.]]
* FreakOut: After Leonhart's death, Germaine spends multiple paragraphs mentally ranting against Rilliane.
* FreudianTrio: The Three Heroes of Lucifenia, with Leonhart Avadonia as the Id, Elluka Clockworker as the Ego, and Mariam Futapie as the Superego.
* FoodPorn: Riliane's candy castle in the first chapter. Actually a plot device--it's so elaborate and extravagant (while the common people are suffering a famine) that it enrages Leonhart into taking action against her.
* KangarooCourt: Such is the norm for the Lucifenian justice system once Riliane is in charge, with citizens beheaded for the most ridiculous of crimes.
* LaResistance: Germaine starts building one after her father's death, and it eventually grows into a complete revolution.
* LastDisrespects: Elluka Clockworker attends the funeral of Leonhart Avadonia, apparently just to call him an idiot, and leaves.
* LoveAtFirstSight: Allen falls in love with Michaela on first sight.
* MeaningfulEcho: Allen's statement of: "If it's to protect you, I'll even become evil" is echoed by Germaine's: "If it's to overthrow the queen, I'll even become evil."
* MoralEventHorizon: In-universe, the "Green Hunting" was such a brutal and devastating event that it led the Lucifenian people to rise up and decide that Riliane must be punished for it.
* MurderTheHypotenuse: The whole reason Elphegort was invaded and the green haired women were massacred in Story of Evil was because Riliane wanted to be sure she killed said hypotenuse, which she succeeds at.
* MyMasterRightOrWrong: Anyone in the Lucifenian court who took Rilliane's side in the revolution, most notably Mariam and Allen.
* OffWithHisHead: Rilliane gives this order several times throughout the novel for people she's angry at or doesn't like. In the end, [[spoiler: Allen gets put to the Guillotine in her place.]]
* OverlyLongScream: In the novel Allen's scream when he [[spoiler: sees Michaela die]] takes up an entire ''paragraph.''
* PrincessesRule: Riliane. Justified, as she refuses to accept the title of Queen out of respect for her late mother.
* TheMole: [[spoiler: Chartette dons a disguise and starts feeding information to the growing rebel group in Lucifenia, even though she still spends time drinking tea with Riliane. It's only after the revolution hits the palace that she severs all allegiance with Riliane.]]
* RoyalBrat: Riliane in particular, making outrageous demands such as having a miniature castle made of cake served at her birthday party.
* ShoutOut: [[spoiler: Riliane and Allen's TwinSwitch is to ''Literature/ATaleOfTwoCities.'']]
* SketchySuccessor: Queen Anne was actually quite competent and fair, with Lucifenia becoming prosperous under her reign. Once she died and her daughter Riliane took over, it all went right down the drain.
* TakeAThirdOption: Allen attempts to do this in the duel with Leonhart in the revised version of the book, injuring his sword arm so that he can never raise it against Riliane, and then encouraging him to escape. [[DeathSeeker Leonhart refuses.]]
* TwinSwitch: A major plot point when [[spoiler: Allen switches places with Riliane to save her from the guillotine.]]
* UnreliableExpositor: Ney provides some character exposition in the beginning through gossip, although, being hearsay, a lot of it is questionable. [[spoiler: Especially once it's revealed she's a spy for Marlon.]]
* UnstoppableRage: The entire Lucifenian revolution is the product of Germaine's anger over losing her father.
* WhamLine: From the final chapter:
-->'''Prim:''' [[spoiler: You rest for a while, my lovely daughter... Marlon's thirteenth princess, Ney Marlon.]]
* YesMan: Minis, but it's important to note that the rest of Rilliane's court is like this as well out of fear she'll behead them.
* YouKilledMyFather: Germaine's and Allen's adopted father Leonhart rebelled against Riliane's rule and snuck food out to the hungry people, but was caught and killed for his efforts. Germaine swore to avenge him, and later led the successful revolution against Riliane. [[spoiler: [[TwinSwitch Well, mostly successful.]] Then again, Allen ''was'' the one who actually killed Leonhart, so...]]
** [[spoiler: Before his death, Germaine pleads with Allen to escape with her, but Allen plays this card so the execution would continue.]]
* VillainousBreakdown: Riliane experiences a breakdown in the face of her incoming capture.
