-Elizabeth's Pov-

I don't think I had ever enjoyed or felt any more comfortable in a bath before. Meliodas and I were in the bath nearly the whole morning. As I expected, Meliodas couldn't really keep his hands to himself. He couldn't help but have his hands all over my whole body. He teased me quite a lot. My body though enjoyed it, loved it even. I was embarrassed with everything and with my reactions to him. I didn't know how to react to any of this. I wasn't even sure on how to have normal reactions to people. 

I was never really talked to or bothered with...well unless I was in danger or badly sick/hurt. The only reason I had two maids was that I was the king's daughter. After that bath, I was in a black sleeveless dress, my back being exposed with white leggings and black dolly shoes. Meliodas was wearing black bottoms and a dark blue shirt with a black vest over the top. While we walked out of the bathroom, the bedroom and through the hallways...Meliodas had his arm around my hips, keeping me very close to him. 

My face burnt up the whole time. Every maid, butler and worker we passed, all bowed going 'My Prince'. Meliodas paid no attention to them at all. He didn't bother with them or acted as if they were even there. We were talking, my voice still being quiet. I had learnt that Chandler raised Meliodas from when he was a young child, his mother being killed by humans. Chandler had taught him nearly everything he knew. It was easy to see he looked up to Chandler like a father. It made me wonder about the current Demon King...about Meliodas' father.

I didn't ask. I kept to myself. I didn't want to push or upset him. "Ah, Young Master!" I heard Chandler's voice getting myself and Meliodas to stop walking. I ended up moving closer to Meliodas out of my shy nature. I felt Meliodas moving his thumb up and downward, gently stroking me to keep me calm. "Yes, Chandler?" Meliodas soon asked as the demon soon walked to be next to Meliodas. A huge grin on his face. Meliodas looked at Chandler with an emotionless face. If anything looking bored. 

"I have come to update you about Prince Zeldris" Chandler then answered getting Meliodas to raised an eyebrow. Prince Zeldris? Meliodas' brother? He informed me only one of his brothers were fighting him for the throne. I was informed by my father and Lady Merlin that there were only three Demon Princes. I wonder why the third wasn't competing for the throne. "It seems he is still at the Vampire Clan territory, it seems his mate is one of the Vampire Rolya family" Chandler soon spoke, confusing me ever so slightly. 

"Seems I'm ahead. Chandler keep an eye out for any updates on my youngest brother" Meliodas then replied getting the demon to shout 'of course' sounding proud and excited. Chandler gave out a small laugh before calming himself down. "Though it seems the other clans are rushing to act out...they will become a problem sooner or later Young Master" Chandler spoke, shocking me. The other clans? Lady Merlin...Miss Diane...My own father and sisters...they only cared for one thing...

Making sure the next Demon King isn't crowned. "Make sure our defensives are secure. I also want no spies informing my brother of anything relating to Elizabeth" Meliodas soon spoke in a much harsher tone. I looked at Meliodas slightly shocked but kept quiet. Chandler was nodding. "I will make sure nothing spread myself Young Master" Chandler replied before leaving. Meliodas soon turned his head to look at me. He gave me a smile before kissing my forehead. I felt my cheeks start to burn up.

"I won't let anyone touch what is mine after all" Meliodas whispered as I felt his hand move down to my butt. My face burnt up even faster as I only heard Meliodas chuckle. He moved his hand back to my hip before we started walking again. "So is this Prince Zeldris your brother?" I asked quietly, knowing Meliodas could hear me. I wasn't very sure about where we were heading. I still wasn't sure about my way around the manor yet. "Yes, he is the youngest. My other brother is Estarossa" Meliodas answered.

I only nodded, not wanting to push my luck with anything. Meliodas had soon taken us into the giant dining room. The huge table in front of us was filled with so many different kinds of food. We ate while talking. The room just holding the two of us. Meliodas was getting me to try all the types of food while we were doing so. He ended up finding out I liked sweet things like cakes, chocolate once and awhile strawberries. I found out Meliodas enjoyed most foods. He was never fussed on what he ate. 

He talked and what shocked me was I laughed, I was smiling. I had never done so like this when people were around, only what I was reading books. Meliodas ended up teasing me, repeating how he preferred me with a smile on my face. I couldn't help but enjoy the long morning here. I had such a different mindset here than what I normally did. Was it the mark? If it was...I didn't mind it much. I enjoyed it. I had never smiled so much before. I-I couldn't help but just want to embrace the moment. 

I had soon learnt that Prince Zeldris and Prince Estarossa were his half-brothers. Each of the Princes all having different mothers. That was when I finally learnt more about the current Demon King. "My father left each of our mothers to die by the hands of the other clans. He is a tyrant that needs to be replaced. It's people like him I cannot stand". Meliodas' words echoed through the room. I saw by his face, could tell by the way he spoke...he hated his father. He truly hated him. 

Left their mothers to die. He did sound like a tyrant. To change the subject, I ended up hugging Meliodas' arm, placing my head on his shoulder. It got him to look at me with a much softer and better expression. I had only smiled at him to get him to smile back. He moved a hand onto my cheek before moving his head closer to mine. He had pulled me into a deep and passionate kiss. I couldn't help but enjoy it and kiss back. Meliodas soon pulled away, both of us breathing slightly heavier than before. 

My face felt boiling hot. Meliodas gave off a chuckle as he soon moved, using both his arms to pull me onto his lap. I jumped from the sudden movement as it only caused my face to get worse. I felt Meliodas had a hand on my leg while he moved his other onto my cheek once more. "Much better" he whispered before pulling me into another kiss. Both of my hands on his chest, gripping onto his vest slightly. Everything felt so much different from yesterday. Though it was different and I had no clue what was really going on...

I didn't mind. I honestlly didn't mind at all.
