The novel takes place in the Evillious equivalent of the [[FantasyCounterpartCulture Victorian Era]], primarily in Elphegort, showcasing startling new information for the series as a whole both on the criminal organization Pere Noel and the Sloth demon. While the primary focus is on the viewpoint of the protagonist, Hanne, the narrative is punctuated by thoughts from the personal monologue of Margarita Blankenheim. It’s preceded by the Story of Evil series, and in the ''Deadly Sins of Evil'' series proper, LightNovel/EvilFoodEaterConchita. It's followed up by ''LightNovel/FifthPierrot''.

''Gift From the Princess Who Brought Sleep'' is the third light novel in the ''Deadly Sins of Evil'' series, as part of the Franchise/EvilliousChronicles. It was written by Music/{{mothy}}, illustrated by Ichika, and released in 2014.

* ArtMajorBiology: Margarita, using relatively primitive technology for the period, somehow [[spoiler:turns a poison into an airborne disease complete with antibody-like structures, yet it is still considered a poison rather than a bacteria/virus.]] Of course, without this we wouldn't have most of the key points of the story.

* HateSink: Kaspar, being a greedy, hedonistic playboy who treated his wife as both a [[TrophyWife status symbol]] and a [[GoldDigger meal ticket]] as well as ''openly [[YourCheatingHeart cheating on her]]'', is clearly not meant to be liked, and this allows Margarita to be a bit more sympathetic in murdering him.

Some of it is relevant and necessary and some of it is...not.

* HateSink: Kaspar, being a greedy, hedonistic playboy who treats his wife as both a [[TrophyWife status symbol]] and a [[GoldDigger meal ticket]] as well as ''openly [[YourCheatingHeart cheating on her]]'', is clearly not meant to be liked, and this allows Margarita to be a bit more sympathetic by comparison--especially after [[spoiler:she murders him]].

* TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou: [[spoiler:''We'', the audience, were every bit as affected by Eve's hypnosis as the characters were. We thought Margarita was really who she said she was, we thought Mikulia turned into a murderer, we thought Platonic existed--but the doll tricked us just as she tricked everyone else...]]
