-Chapter 56-
~Elizabeth's Pov~
The people in the room were in utter shock with my answer. Hawk was the first to snap out of the shock. I did explain the other day how my sisters treated me. I couldn't help but feel that way after all these years. Miss Diane...Lady Merlin...Sir King...Lady Elaine...it was them...it was only them I cared about who were outside the Demon Clan. I started thinking about a question while the other three in the room started to calm down from the shock. The game was, to be honest. That was just what I was going to do.
"Well this turned more interesting" Estarossa soon chuckled getting Zeldris to glare at him for a second. Gelda sweat-dropped still in some shock from my answer to Estarossa's question. Hawk was the only one in the room who understood why. "What did you mean about reincarnation?" I then asked Estarossa, my pure interest then and there being that. Zeldris soon went slightly pale while looking at me before closing his eyes. He was letting his older brother take the controls to answer this.
"You see people who have purest souls or special, high ranking souls they will be reincarnated time and time again. They would only remember their past lives if they were dying or if they are just that powerful" Estarossa then explained getting my eyes to most likely to light up once again. I had heard folktales about things like this before but I never knew it was real. Gelda shook her head slightly, smiling at me. Hawk was pointing out that my eyes did indeed light up. I rubbed the back of my neck slightly.
"Why do you hate your family so much?" Zeldris then asked, it had become his turn. Hawk was then looked at me worried while Gelda soon gave me a worried look as well. I kept my smile on my face trying to think how to put it all into words. "Since I was born...I've been alone. My mother died only some days after I was born, my father never bothered with me and my sisters...I don't even remember if they've ever talked to me before or what they even look like anymore...I've been near death so many times from flu, cold and more...they never cared or lifted a finger to help me" I then explained.
Gelda looked at me in shock along with Zeldris. Estarossa only closed his eyes in thought. Hawk whispered my name worried but I only smiled at him, showing I was 'fine'. But was I? Was I really fine with how they treated me? "I heard you love reading, what books are you enjoying at the moment Elizabeth?" Gelda asked to change to the mood, using her turn. My eyes must've lightened up yet again with her question. I was a huge bookworm after all. I couldn't help that part of me. It was just who I was.
"Well I'm currently reading 'Thy Lands Folktales', I've been enjoying it quite a lot. I've always enjoyed reading folktales" I answered getting Gelda to smile at me. I could see a light in her own eyes hearing my answer. It was easy to see, she was also a bookworm. I knew that look from seeing myself when I found and enjoyed new books. "I haven't heard that title in a while" Zeldris spoke with a small chuckle. I remember...Derieri told me that Zeldris used to read that book quite often. It made me wonder, did Zeldris like reading?
"You was reading about history and war tactics the other day weren't you? It's rare to see someone pick up them kinds of books" Estarossa then asked getting Zeldris to go slightly pale. I noticed Estarossa had slowly opened his eyes, looking at me for his answer. What was these two looked scared and confused about? It was a couple of times they've acted like this since we sat down at the table. "Since I was a kid I enjoyed reading all types of books. I always go for history or war books first because the information could be useful one day in the future and because they are normally the longest books to read" I then answered.
Zeldris and Estarossa both had shock in their eyes for a second but it vanished after they blinked. Gelda was soon catching on about them being shocked and confused about things. "Derieri told me you used to read the book 'Thy Lands Folktales' as well Zeldris, is that true?" I soon asked getting Gelda to look in some shock. Zeldris rubbed the back of his head, letting out a sigh of defeat. He nodded while taking a small deep breath. "I used to love reading folktales, that one was my favourite so I would read it over and over again" Zeldris then explained.
Gelda's eyes light up even more than before. She then asked me if she could borrow the book when I finished. I nodded in reply getting her slightly excited. "What do you think of sword fighting Elizabeth?" Zeldris then asked while he and Estarossa were then watching me closely. Gelda was confused but it was easy to see she was going to use her question to find out what was going on. You could tell by her face. Which I was thankful for. "I've always loved sword-play since it almost looks like a war dance. Though I was never allowed to touch a weapon before and even now I still haven't" I then answered.
Hawk gave out an 'ooh' with my answer. He was stating he never thought of it as a dance before. I only smiled at him. "It's what I always have thought. I think it's because I read so many books" I giggled getting Hawk to ask for me to read some books to him sometime. I nodded in reply getting the boar to look excited. Gelda leaned back in her chair, getting it to squeak slightly. It got us to look at her. It was her turn. "What are you two really up too with these questions? You keep looking worried, confused and shock" Gelda then asked harshly and loudly.
Zeldris went slightly pale while Estarossa sighed. Estarossa slowly moved his hands together looking at both me and Gelda with a serious face. "We know Lady Elizabeth's past reincarnations" Estarossa and Zeldris then answered getting me and Gelda's eyes to widen in shock. M-my reincarnations? I had reincarnations? When was this? Gelda nearly shouted 'what' in shock along with Hawk at the same time. "Estarossa pointed it out to me as we were in the infirmary...her answers confirm it" Zeldris then mumbled.
I gave out a confused and quiet 'eh'. Estarossa soon took a deep breath. "In the past...many...many, long years ago...you have been our older brother's lover. The reason I wondered was that you look so much like her...and the fact our brother wouldn't ever move on from her unless...you were her" Estarossa then explained getting my eyes to widen even more than before. Hawk shouted 'what' yet again in confusion. Gelda sat there in utter shock as well. Zeldris had some sweat build upon his face.
"W-what was my name?" I soon asked as my hand went down onto my stomach. Estarossa and Zeldris looked at each other, it seemed both of them were agreeing to tell me. Estarossa leaned back in his chair. "Liz. Liz Knight" Estarossa then answered getting me to lean back in the chair. My brain trying to process what I just heard. Gelda was looking at me worried before she clapped her hands getting us to look at her. "Enough questions for now. We can carry on later but that is enough. Let's work on keeping Lady Elizabeth calm and happy" Gelda then spoke, sounding like a leader.
Zeldris slowly nodded, Estarossa sighed and followed. Both brothers agreeing but there was one thing I couldn't help but wonder...did Meliodas know I was this reincarnation of some Liz? Did he know?
