Yeah, pretty sure this is about Bonaparta and the twins' mother.

I think Bonaparta wrote about himself as the King of Darkness becoming a smaller and smaller darkness was his way of apologizing to the twins mother for what he did to her and the kids. He was giving up his dark objectives/plans and going to live a quiet life, and that's what the story is symbolizing. He wrote her forgiving him (the darkness) likely for his own selfish desire for forgiveness from the woman he loved (I doubt she ever did forgive him). I do think the mother carried a bit of darkness in her from the experiences Bonaparta put her through.

The servants of darkness locked away were the people he gave poisoned wine to (eternal sleep) in the Red Rose Mansion, where he sealed off the area (Room of True Darkness, door that must never be opened). All his wicked plans and ambitions died in that room with those people (or so he thought), and he wanted no one to try open that door again (I take that to mean try and recreate the awful ideas he put an end to. And look how many characters in the series tried to mimic his plans, with horrible results). He knew his thoughts and plans were evil, and he never wanted them to be put into action again. He thought he'd shut the door on that darkness forever. Bonaparta counted on the idea that, if that evil did present itself in the world, there would be light to combat it, and he never wanted to see that horrible struggle again (terrible war).

He didn't know their exact identities, but he predicted the roles of Johan and Tenma.
