Celine: Tell me why, Laurencin
Laurencin: …I was about to be killed. Barne: He’s lying, Celine! It was Cin who nearly killed Egul! Even though Egul told him to stop!
Laurencin: …it was just self-defense. Barne: What-… Celine: D-don’t speak of horrible things like killing and whatnot But it’s a fact that Egul was more badly hurt, Laurencin
Laurencin: They called me a devil’s child over and over again It got really annoying So…
Barne: Uh B- But Celine!
P7.
Barne: Cin doesn’t smile at all! He doesn’t talk with anyone either! He doesn’t get along with us! He doesn’t have a human heart in him!
Celine: Let’s make attempts towards reconciliation Please say that you won’t fight again
Barne: I won’t…
P8.
Barne: Wait! Wait, Laurencin!!
Laurencin: What Barne: What’s with that attitude of yours!? You made Celine cry!! You’re not even sorry, are you?

Laurencin: Geez Ciel~!
Ciel: Yes?
P12.
Ciel: Um…Cin I’m sorry…I…just wanted to stop you guys, so…
Ciel: …will you tell me what exactly happened?
Egul: Cin’s had a fit again
Egul: At times he’d just be disturbed by nightmares at night and call out for help
Egul: I felt sorry for him and tried to wake him up But he…
Egul: He thought that I did it Even though he was actually grabbing his neck himself!
Ciel: …Cin You
Ciel: Your back…
Unknown speaker: …will you try to not be afraid of him? Unknown speaker 2: …even if you ask me… They’re already afraid of Cin, especially the children And If he keeps that up, won’t he die one day?
Unknown speaker: It’s okay. I’ll protect him.
Ciel: That’s Very pretty!
P14
Ciel: Hiding it Is such a pity Laurencin: I don’t have a choice, do I Everyone’ll put up an ugly face if they see this

Laurencin: You do things like Celine Ciel: Yes! I want to be like her!
Ciel: She’s someone who loved us homeless children even more than our parents did, taught us and protected the weak! Kid: Hmm Ciel: You remember, don’t you?
Ciel: I want to protect these children like she did ….I want to become a mother
Laurencin: I don’t understand Ciel: Eh? Laurencin: Aren’t mothers creatures that’d abandon their babies under the cold sky without a second thought? Even Celine didn’t know how her parents were truly like, did she?
P17.
Laurencin: What good comes out of comforting each other in a place like this? I’d prefer it if this wasn’t such a kind place, so I’d never think of returning again If not, then there’ll always be more people like us People… Who think that children can be happy even if they’re abandoned should all just die
Ciel: Cin…
Ciel: …then, will we end our lives without ever knowing love? We can’t give anything unless we learn
Ciel: No, humans are meant to live out their lives, embracing what they’ve learnt and what they’ve been given
Ciel: Celine taught that to me So I want to teach that to the children, I want to protect them
P18
Ciel: The same goes for you too
Ciel: Cin I think
Ciel: This is what they call family

Box: So nobody was suspicious Of the strangely graceful handwriting Of her going out every weekend.
Box: Of where the "letters from her brother" came from-
Letter: -so, I don't think I'll be able to get back soon, even though I really want to spend new year with you...
It'll be a while before the snow melts, but stay healthy.
Noel: -geez!
p30.
Letter: -to my beloved sister[Noel] Hiver Laurant
Lyrics: -[Misfortune]- ...ah...a sister not marrying, waiting upon her brother, one never to return-
Noel: Geez...Brother Hiver... Just when are you going to come back...
Lyrics: ...ah...a winter night sky waiting upon a love, one never to change...
Box: -eventually
p31.
Box: Letters Diaries Pocketbooks She wrote down memories of her brother on every piece of paper found in her home
Box: Memories Speech traits Smell Hair color The feeling of his hand patting her hair His gentle eyes and smile A song he liked Everything about her brother His past His future
Savant: That is a fantasy meant to separate her brother from death Every single letter and word are his cells. Her brother is right here Wanting others to know of her brother's existence She gathered up the overflowing papers in one pile and made a book out of them Titling it Fantasy Story[Roman]

Savant: ....a lie Is an inconvenient truth
Savant: Truth Is a convenient lie...
Savant: There are many who, unable to bear the pain of losing loved ones, close their hearts off
Savant: Still, if where their hearts lie is the world of truth to themselves
Savant: That is salvation
Savant: An illusion, gentle and sweet like a mother's breast...
p89. tankoubon ver.
Savant: The raw stone found by the youth on that day
Savant: Passed on from one person to another, each time spreading misfortune Shedding blood And at last, was presented to the museum
Man: She was A <<woman>> too much for me....
p90 Savant: Why did she end up with the name Queen Slaughter?
Savant: Simply because people wished for it, no other reason
Savant: Perhaps Queen Slaughter finally arrived at her place of rest
Savant: But now that she's become a sleeping princess within a glass case, she's just a beautiful jewel After that, blood ceased to be shed for her
p91
Left alone, she drew
Drew a world where nothing is lost
An arm from the knight Love from the lady A treasure from the boy Light from the girl
Wife from husband Husband from wife
The world from existence Existence from the world
It's a given that nobody wants to be deprived of anything
And such an endless story became her truth
p92.
Savant: Fantasy Story A story polished and refined each time it comes in contact with people, with desire
Savant: Fantasies will always Continue to exist by absorbing someone's desire
Savant: Just like how a red diamond that should've been simply beautiful Came to be called Queen Slaughter
p93.
Savant: She herself withered, yet the story left behind is eternal, never to decay
Savant: Gathering all the fantasies of ones who knew death, loss and pain
p94.
Savant: The story still continues to wander
Lyrics: Locked glass A jewel sleeping peacefully Within dreams of days past...
p95. Layon: No irregularities...
Layon: I'm tired I just want to quit this boring job of being a museum security guard...
Lyrics: Shadows closing in Melting into scarlet darkness The robbers are in the room...
p96. Robber: One minute Robber2: Alright
Robber: ...this seems kind of normal Robber2: What Robber: The queen herself and the security surrounding her don't seem any different from a normal jewel. Is this really "Queen Slaughter"?
Lyrics: Punishment awaits failure
Robber2: Don't let your guard down just because of that! Robber: I get it! Robber2: Maybe the queen's just getting her beauty sleep.... Robber: S-stop it! ......
Robber: ...alrighty Sleep tight just a bit longer, my queen...
Lyrics: A life-risking mission
p97. Lyrics: They won't let their targeted prey escape...
Robber: Dammit... We're gonna make a run for it!
Robber2: Ah, hey
p98. Robber2: Hey, wait up...!
Manager: Who's in charge of this floor?
Layon: It's me.
Manager: ...you. You're fired!! You don't have to come again!!

Etoile: Shut up!
Etoile: Geez!
Etoile: I hate dogs who're nothing but noisy!
p100.
Flambeau: Hey
Flambeau: I've told you to stop using the backstage as a shortcut You haven't even paid your passage fees yet
Laurencin: Hehe

p101. Laurencin: Hiver! What happened to "her"?
Laurencin: Haha
Laurencin: Hahaha Hey, we did it! Hey!
Hiver: ...shut it.

p107. Man: Uwaah...!
Laurencin: ?
A slightly rough kiss...
-ah...
p108. "She" is released into the world again...
p109.
Savant: If there are fantasies that desire order, then there must be ones that desire chaos It's completely up to the story to tilt towards either life or death Be reassured. Fantasies will always exist right next to you, and grant you eternal rest In exchange for an instantaneous blink
Savant: Personally, I'd prefer the jewel to be a queen rather than an ordinary stone Though that might bring about tragedy, the audience is happier if it makes the story more exciting
Savant: The red diamond is an eternal shine, after all
Narration: A miracle nurtured by mother earth. A gemstone said to be the world's largest. 30 carat, red diamond...
Savant: ...whoops. The song is nearing its end. I'll excuse myself now.
Narration: A trail left behind through changing owners. Its specialty is a reserved place in the ranks of the dead.
Savant: Me? I'm not someone worth introducing.
p19.
Savant: If the opportunity arises, we may meet again! For now Au revoir!
Narration: 30 carat... Queen Slaughter

p112. [no text]
p113. ...reality
...fantasy
...the world of stories...
The end in form of death, inescapable so long you have life The pain of those left behind
Dying flames[lights]
The <<present>> is blue[life] eventually leading to purple[death](Should we add a translator's note here to say that blue/life and purple/death have the same pronunciation?)
p114.
In the end, is there really a roman in that world that makes birth worthy?
Is there a story in that world that leads to my birth?
In that world
p115
p116.
Ever since a certain time Twin dolls were offered to lie at the sides Of infants who died before they were born Their souls were named 'Winter'[Hiver]
Ones who continue to wait. Beloved ones never to return. A spring that will not dawn on either of them. The name of the soul in continuous slumber...
Only pained screams Call out the name of 'Winter'[Hiver] in desperate seeking
Like an unyielding snowfall.... -
Serialization ver. p1.
Savant: ...a fantasy is born of humanity's desires or perhaps desire itself.
p2.
Savant: Though it is fragile And merely an illusion shown by weak hearts If it can bring salvation to those who have a hard time accepting reality, who can blame them? No matter what ends await them.
Man: It wasn't me. The gem "The Queen" tempted me...
Savant: "The living gem" was born like that.
p3.
Savant: Facet cut. Brilliant cut. Every time the gem changed hands, it was further refined. Like a blooming flower The girl grew into a "Queen". Someone gave queen slaughter this name "Angel"[Michele]
p4.

No matter what, the one that isn't shut in a case, but worn by somebody Be it the gem, or the woman Is much Much livelier Don't you think? The red diamond is an eternal shine after all.

Hiver: The ones named "Hiver"... Are they someone's fantasy? Or is this all reality...
p24.
Text: Since sometime ago For infants who died before they're born Twin dolls of life and death are laid beside them And their souls are named "Winter"[Hiver]
Those who continue waiting. The beloved ones never to return. A spring that will never arrive for both. The name of the soul in continuous slumber...
Eventually, pained cries will be the only ones Continuously shouting the name of "Winter"[Hiver]
