-Elizabeth's Pov- 

Lady Merlin and Miss Diane were the ones to take me back to the castle, they didn't let anyone come near me or even speak to me. The two of them had taken me to my room. Neither of them was asking about my time alone with Meliodas, about the Demon Clan or what else happened to me. Miss Diane sat with me on the bed, she had me in a hug as I was still crying and shaking. Yet I didn't know why I was. Lady Merlin made sure no one came into the room or bothered me by scaring everyone off. 

Miss Diane was rubbing my back, telling me everything was 'alright' now. I couldn't help but cry and shake. I didn't know why but when I saw Miss Diane in such a state but show she cared about me more than her own self...it just set me off. Someone...someone here really did care about me. I would hear Lady Merlin answer the door to my room, scaring someone off every so often. Miss Diane never left my side, keeping me in the hug. My head in her chest, hugging her back. 

"It's going to be all okay, I know it will" Miss Diane whispered as I felt one of her hands rubbing circles on my back. Everything in me felt different. Confused yet scared. I soon heard Lady Merlin sigh. "Prince Meliodas won't stay still for long, he most likely is already on his way will full power of rage" Lady Merlin spoke worried as I heard her pacing at the other side of the room. Her footsteps echoing around the room. Miss Diane was trying to calm me down still but nothing was working very much.

I just able to hear the door knock, I was a crying mess. Diane was whispering to me how everything was 'alright' and that I was 'safe'. "I've told you all to leave this alone. She's only just been saved" I soon heard Lady Merlin nearly shout as Miss Diane's grip around me got tighter. She was reminding me how she wasn't going to leave my side. Though she kept whispering these things...it didn't feel that way. I didn't feel safe or alright. I felt the opposite. I wasn't sure why but I just did. 

"Kings orders Lady Merlin" a males voice echoed through the room explaining my feelings. Hendrickson. A powerful Great Holy Knight. I've never liked him since when I was a child. I always felt uneasy, scared and as if I was in danger around him. "Elizabeth...wait for me...I'm coming" I heard Meliodas' voice in my head just like when I was first marked. My grip on Miss Diane slightly tightened as she kept telling how I was 'safe'. I never felt safe with Hendrickson around. I was shocked anyone did. 

He was meant to be a Great Holy Knight, in charge of protecting us but yet even I've heard what he's done to others. The rumours around him and to what he even admits to having done himself...how most people could stand him is beyond me. "Like hell, I would believe your words" Lady Merlin snapped loudly as Miss Diane was keeping me close to her, rubbing my back in some hopes to calm me down. That was when I was able to hear my so-called father mumble something outside the room.

Thanks to my own crying, I couldn't even hear fully. "Then wait for her to calm down, she's been through a lot. At least she needs time to calm down" Lady Merlin spoke sounding as if she was losing a battle at the doorway, sounding as if she was about to beg. Miss Diane's grip around me got tighter. "Time? How much time do we have until that Demon Prince bursts down Lione's door? We don't have time Lady Merlin!" Hendrickson snapped as I soon heard Lady Merlin being forced away from the door along with footsteps inside.

"Didn't you bastards hear Merlin? She needs time to calm down! She's bee captured for days and is finally home, she needs that time to go before I make you!" Miss Diane snapped loudly as I heard the door close. No one had left. Miss Diane let out an annoyed 'err' and sounded as if she was about to burst into a fight. Lady Merlin was soon asking for her to calm down, reminding her that she was the only thing keeping me slightly stable. Miss Diane stood down fast as I had a feeling she was looking at me. 

"Princess Elizabeth" Hendrickson spoke but I didn't reply, my shaking got worse along with my grip on Miss Diane. Lady Merlin soon snapped as Hendrickson to stop. I heard Lady Merlin walking over. Miss Diane whispered my name worried. "Princess, they only want to ask some questions" Lady Merlin soon asked as I felt her sit next to me on the bed, her hand going onto my back. I still was crying. I heard at least two males muttering how demons were known to 'have fun' with victims. 

Like us humans were any better. We did the same to even our own race. "Like I told you, she needs time. King Bartra please understand this, she's your own daughter. She needs time" Lady Merlin spoke in a begging tone. Miss Diane hugged me as tight as she could. She was whispering how she was sorry that she was so weak, that she couldn't save me before, that she let Meliodas take me but yet...a huge reason I felt scared was that he wasn't here. Because I was taken from him. 

"Again we do not have time, the Demon Prince could already be on his way here" Hendrickson snapped loudly as Miss Diane gave off another annoyed 'err' as the ground started shaking. Lady Merlin snapped at Miss Diane to stay calm but she wasn't listening to her at all. I felt her starting to shake slightly. "YOU FUCKING HEARTLESS BASTARDS!" Miss Diane shouted in rage as the shaking of the ground got worse than anything. That was when I heard the door get burst down hearing King shout Miss Diane's name worried.

"GET OUT THIS ROOM BEFORE I KILL EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU!" Miss Diane shouted as Lady Merlin asked King to calm Miss Diane down. King only replied with 'too late for that to work' in a fearful whisper. Hendrickson gave out an annoyed tisk while Lady Merlin stated she would stand by Miss Diane. "Only until tomorrow morning" Hendrickson snapped as I heard him leave with four other people. Miss Diane was muttering under her breath. "Merlin, I need a favour" Miss Diane spoke confusing all of us.
