~Elizabeth's Pov~ 

I was dragged inside the castle by Veronica. I was scared. I had no memories of this place. Of any of the royal family. My so-called family. "Elizabeth. You don't have to be scared here" Veronica spoke as she had taken me into a giant hall filled with many people. They were smiling saying 'welcome home' and things like so. I only stepped back in fear. "Ellie" Veronica spoke worried as a female stepped forward with a smile on her face. She had long, slightly wavy, indigo hair. She was wearing a short-sleeved, long black dress. 

Her eyes were a light hazel colour as she had a kind smile on her face. "Don't you remember your oldest sister?" she soon asked as I only stayed quiet. I wasn't sure who I could trust. Meliodas said there were seeds by the Demon Clan. That they were most likely Holy Knights like Gulia and that Gilthunder. "I'm Margaret, your oldest sister" she spoke walking up to me with a sweet, kind smile. Veronica had a worried look on her face while people were saying that we were to hold a party throughout the Kingdom to welcome me home.

Home? Was this really my home? Merlin, Diane, King, Ban, Gowther, Escanor, Hawk and Meliodas weren't here. When I was with them, that felt like a home. They felt like a family to me. "We truly welcome you home. Princess Elizabeth" I heard a male voice behind me as I turned around to see an unknown male smirking at me. He was wearing a set of full-body armour which was covered by a robe. He had short white light-coloured hair and a goatee. His turquoise eyes were staring at me as all I saw from him, was darkness.

"She is struggling with her memory. How about we take her to her room to rest?" I heard Margaret asked as I felt her hug my arm. It felt as if it was a protective hug. I-I just wanted to go back to the others yet I was scared to speak up. I was scared to run away. Something about here, something just made me feel scared. This unknown male who has spoken to me, it felt as if I shouldn't be near him. That I had to get away from him. "Hendrickson, when can Elizabeth see our father?" I heard Veronica asked as she stepped forward, staring at the man.

Hendrickson. That name. I heard it somewhere. All it brought was more fear. "First we should let her eat. We are unsure if those monsters treated her well after all" Hendrickson replied as I felt rage build up. I knew he was talking about the Sins. My hands turned into fists but some reason I kept quiet unlike before. Veronica had guilt show on her face hearing his words as he walked past to the centre of the room. "TONIGHT WE FEAST IN THE RETURN OF OUR THIRD PRINCESS, ELIZABETH" he soon shouted, people, starting to cheer.

This felt wrong. This felt even worse. I wanted to get out of here, even more, hearing that people were looking toward him. "She needs rest Hendrickson" Margaret soon snapped loudly getting everyone, even myself, to look at her. She had a serious look on her face as Veronica was looking at her with relief. "She has been through too much. She has no memories, she looks pale and weak. Let her go rest. As the Crowned Princess, I make this an order" Margaret soon spoke, loud and clear. I was in shock along with others.

I only heard this Hendrickson laugh slightly. "Understood. We shall hold the feast tomorrow night" he then replied as Margaret was soon dragging me out the room with Veronica following. Both looked annoyed out of their minds. Veronica was mumbling under her breath as I had the feeling, someone was watching us. "He is trying to take control while father is so badly ill. I can't stand him" Veronica spoke as we started walking upstairs. Margaret still pulling me along. My own thoughts were on the others.

"Father asked him to look after the Kingdom. We are stuck listening to his orders" Margaret only spoke. The seed. The seed that Meliodas spoke about. Hendrickson was that seed. With him wearing such armour, he had to of been a holy knight. "I-I don't want to be here" I whispered, stuttering at first shocking the two females who lead me to the top of the stairs. Both had worried looks on their faces, along with pure guilt. "I understand you hate us all Elizabeth. I hated the idea of locking you away. I tried to stop father" Margaret spoke.

She turned me to face her fully. "Now us three sisters are together. We can save Liones from Hendrickson" she soon spoke as Veronica walked over putting her hand on my shoulder nodding. They didn't know. They didn't know that we were being watched or they were testing me. I wasn't sure who to trust here. Even my own told older 'sisters'. I wasn't even sure if I was able to call them that. "I-I want to go back to the Sins" I whispered, stuttering once more. They both had hurt in their eyes after hearing me speak.

I didn't want to stay here. I wanted to go back to them. "Elizabeth. As long as Hendrickson wants you here....we cannot send you back" Veronica soon informed me. Even more guilt on her when she spoke. I was confused as Margaret closed her eyes, sighing slightly. Veronica soon had worry in her eyes. There was something else going on. "Elizabeth tomorrow we will be taking you on tour of the castle. Do not leave your room unless it is one of us taking you out" Margaret soon spoke with a smile.

It was friendly as I had a feeling she really was trying to protect me but I wasn't sure why. They may have been my so-called sisters but they all locked me away. They all let knights beat me up. They all never bothered to check on me. "Margaret is right. Please, Ellie. We need you to trust us" Veronica spoke as we all started walking again. I-I wanted to get out of here.
