~Chapter 6~Camelot~
~Meliodas's Pov~
I was holding Elizabeth's hand walking behind Merlin and Escanor. Merlin was explaining Camelot to Elizabeth about being the first Kingdom to agree to all races to live somewhere since the very old days. King, Ban and Diane were walking behind us. Elizabeth was looking around while listening to Merlin. This place was the same as ever. Loud, filled with joy and many different types of people. "King, Ban why not just ask?" I heard Diane ask in a harsh whisper behind us. I turned my head looking at the three.
King and Ban kept quiet seeing me as Diane sighed. "Elizabeth is a very powerful Goddess, right Captain?" Diane asked as I nodded. She soon was asking Elizabeth about healing spells and was asking about how to save people who'res soul was damaged by a Demon. Elizabeth started thinking about the answer as Merlin looking away, with guilt in her eyes. Seemed they were asking about someone they knew. "It is possible to save a person under those conditions, I would have to see them to figure out how" Elizabeth answered.
Ban's and King's faces and eyes lit up with full hope. They were both soon shouting 'really?' as loud as they could. Elizabeth nodded slightly confused. "So who are you both wanting Elizabeth to save?" I soon asked as King looked at the ground with guilt as Ban had fear and sadness on his face. Diane soon sighed. "They are speaking about King's little sister. The Goddess Clan told us to give up and kill her ourselves" Diane soon answered/explained. Elizabeth had worry on her face as I saw the fire in her eyes.
I sighed. "Seems you already agreed" I spoke getting everyone with us to look at Elizabeth. She looked at me with her smile. I loved her smile. I always wanted to see her with it. She soon was hugging my arm with her free arm. "You know me too well" she laughed as I chuckled. Ban eyes lit up even more as Elizabeth asked where King's sister was. Ban and King looked at Merlin who sighed. "My magic tower, I tried to help her myself but had no luck" Merlin answered as Elizabeth soon informed Ban and King she would try to help.
Both were thanking her. She always liked helping those she could. She loved to help others in any way or form she could. We headed toward the castle as I pulled Elizabeth gently to be closer to me. I noticed her smile grow slightly as I did so. I only smiled more myself as Merlin was soon explaining some of the rules about Camelot. She also asked me to stay behind her and Ban to stand next to her when we get to the throne room. She wanted to surprise Arthur. Both myself and Ban nodded in agreement. Elizabeth looked slightly confused.
"Merlin and King Arthur are pretty close" I explained as she nodded slowly. She soon smirked asking 'how close' gaining Merlin to blush ever so slightly. I saw pure jealously on Escanor's face. I held back a smirk as Diane was giggling herself seeing Escanor. King sighed as Gowther was answering with 'much like yourself and the Captain'. "GOWTHER!" Merlin snapped loudly as she was causing guards and maids to look this way as we were outside the throne room. Ban moved to stand next to Merlin as she opened the doors.
Trying to control her flushed face. We all walked inside, myself behind Ban and Merlin. I had Elizabeth walking with Diane and King. Both talking to her. I prefer if everyone got along. I needed Elizabeth to trust them. She was one to read people easily, she was able to look into one's heart and mind even. She rarely used that spell unless it really was needed. "Merlin, you're already back?" I heard Arthur as many guards and maids in the room were whispering. Mostly about how Merlin was Arthur's favourite.
"Yes, this time having a surprise for you Arthur" Merlin spoke as I heard Arthur walking over asking if it was the 'giant green pig'. I noticed Gowther was holding Hawk back who looked annoyed as Merlin only laughed. "Wrong, ain't that right...Captain" Merlin then spoke as everyone in the room but us lot froze up. I chuckled while walking forward, through Merlin and Ban. Arthur looked a bit more mature from when I last saw him two years ago in the battle with the Demon Clan. "SIR MELIODAS!" Arthur shouted in excitement.
He rushed over grabbing my hands, asking question after question. Childish but I had a bad feeling he had gotten that from me. People were asking Arthur to stop and act the like 'king he was'. The thing what made Arthur great was that he didn't care about his status. He cared for his people a lot more than he cared for himself. "I would've prefered to stay in retirement than to come back to a war zone you know" I spoke with a laugh as Arthur soon moved his hands away from mine. He was saying 'sorry' for dragging me back to the fight.
"Sir Meliodas, as much as I want you to be happy just like Merlin...the Goddess Clan hold too much of a threat this time. They have already started their attacks on Liones. I wish to save them but we don't have the right training to do so yet. We have people in training but they are nowhere near ready" Arthur spoke sounding like a true leader. I was in shock hearing how mature he was able to sound. I heard someone move forward as I turned my head to see Elizabeth looking at us.
"May I ask, what information do you have on this attack on Liones or what you have of the Goddess Clan?" Elizabeth asked as Arthur was slightly confused but smiled saying Merlin will give her all we knew. He informed her that she had it all written down in her tower. Someone soon came forward asking who Elizabeth in a rude way and tone. "Meliodas Don't!" Elizabeth only spoke as I was in front of the knight my sword Lostvayne aimed at his throat. I was glaring at him as everyone was going pale but Elizabeth.
"Talk toward her or about her again and I will cut out your tongue" I spoke harshly as I heard Elizabeth sigh. Merlin was asking me to stand down trying to hold the fear back in her voice. She was soon asking me not to force us to make me. "Meliodas it's fine I should've introduced myself first, it's my doing so please forgive him" Elizabeth then begged the only one, not in fear. I gave out an annoyed 'tisk' as I pulled my sword back still glaring at the knight who then fell on his knees. He was all talk.
"Be grateful my wife is so forgiving" I spoke harshly putting Lostvayne back in its scab on my back before moving back to stand next to Elizabeth. Arthur was soon asking 'when' I got married. Merlin sweatdropped slightly. "I married Elizabeth before becoming a knight in Liones" I answered as Arthur was looking at Elizabeth welcoming her to Camelot. Merlin soon moved to stand next to him. She soon was whispering in his ear as he went slightly pale. His eyes soon lit up fast with excitement.
"SERIOUSLY?" Arthur shouted looking at Merlin who laughed slightly looking at Elizabeth causing me and her both to raise an eyebrow. "Big Sister, will you please trust me and my judgment. Arthur is my pupil I took in when he was just a boy like you did with me so long ago. Will you trust him and help me teach him" Merlin then spoke as Elizabeth was in shock. Everyone around us in shock as well. The knights and maids were shouting 'big sister' in utter shock. The others were saying 'how do you think we felt?'.
"I will always trust you and your judgment Merlin. If you believe Arthur can handle my training then I will gladly help out as long as Meliodas doesn't mind. He does get jealous so easy after all" Elizabeth answered as I looked at her. She smiled at me in return as I moved closer to her, pulling her to be in front of me. My arms going around her waist. I started muttering under my breath about her being right as she soon was going 'see'. "Captain I will kill you here and now" Merlin muttered harshly.
I stuck my tongue out at her. "Captain please don't piss off the mage!" Ban nearly shouted in fear as I felt Elizabeth kiss my cheek. I look at her as she was smiling at me brightly. "Fine, you can teach him" I mumbled as she thanked him. Arthur thanked both myself and Elizabeth. Merlin was glaring at me still as I only hugged Elizabeth tighter mouthing 'mine' to her. This only made Merlin even more upset. Though I was very territorial with Elizabeth I had to admit pissing off Merlin was kinda fun. It was hard to upset her normally.
Even with the fact Demons are very territorial of the ones they mark as their 'lover', 'pet' or/and 'object'. Elizabeth ended up having all three marks on her making me worse than a normal Demon. Though I didn't mind. Meant I got to have Elizabeth close as this more. "I still want that knight punished" I spoke as Merlin soon was agreeing with me. Elizabeth sighed asking us both to be nice to others. Us both unable to say 'no' to her. Everyone in the room in utter shock how easy it was for Elizabeth to control both me and Merlin.
"Well, it's getting to the afternoon. Lunch is soon to be served we should talk about a plan then. Liones only has the castle left all the towns have been wiped out. The people captured" Arthur then informed us as Elizabeth disagreed with him right off the bat. Merlin raised an eyebrow as I only moved my head into her neck, kissing it. I felt Elizabeth grab my arm to control herself. She was easy to tease. "If Liones is in such danger we should move there right away. The Goddess Clan are a lot more powerful as you all seem to think. They are most likely holding back their power as it is" Elizabeth spoke as I was able to tell she was struggling to keep herself from stuttering.
No one else seemed to notice. I started to kiss down her neck to her shoulder. Her grip on my arm getting tighter as I did so. Elizabeth was a great leader figure. She was able to understand others along with inspiring them. I learnt how to be a leader from her mostly. My old self-used fear and killing others to put them in place. "The Goddess Clan will most likely wipe out all of Liones. They will kill off every member of the royal family to put the people in fear. If we don't hurry it will be too late to save Liones all together" Elizabeth then explained.
I had a feeling the others were in shock. I soon pulled my head back. "Once those stupid Goddesses see me or Elizabeth they will turn around running for the hills. If the Archangels are there, then they might try and fight but will lose very easily. We will keep me hidden for long as we can. Elizabeth will lead the Seven Deadly Sins in a charge to save Liones" I then nearly shouted shocking everyone but Elizabeth. She leaned her head back on my shoulder whispering 'I love when you take charge' into my ear.
I let out a quick cough as her alone was able to tease me so well. She was the only person who could. "Captain is this wise? You were so scared of the Goddess Clan seeing her before" King asked behind me as Merlin had her eyes closed thinking. She was trying to find a way to disagree with my idea. "Elizabeth can handle it. If not, that is why your six will be by her side. Plus midday huh? Escanor will turn each of them Goddesses to dust" I then replied as Merlin sighed soon agreeing with the plan.
"Don't worry a thing Captain. As long as I can hold my axe, they won't touch Lady Elizabeth!" Escanor nearly shouted with a proud laugh. Though his pride was able to drive anyone nuts or upset, I found it fun and entertaining. I knew Elizabeth would also but I also knew she would use him for experiments. I had to warn him but I was way too interested in what Elizabeth would do to him.
