"They were after us. Hiding behind trees and bushes. One of them snuck up on Lance and another tried to get me but I knew there had to be more people" Prince Tristan explained to his father and the other sins.

"Lance fought the guy for a long time but then all of a sudden he had his neck being squeezed. I was so scared I didn't know what to do. My heart was going so fast daddy I was panicking, but I learned how to calm down.

Those big guys were demons dad.. I know I just had to think smarter then them but after I knew I was going to fight everything went black" he concluded, telling his story as if he'd seen it a thousand times on the big screen.

Meliodas sat in thought, reevaluating the situation. "Did they know who you were?" He asked Tristan.

"No. All they said was they needed strong kids. That Lance was just extra" the small one replied back casually, innocently.

"Strong kids for what?" Diane asks, leaning against King's chastiefol. "My guess is as good as yours." King mutters besides her.

"Scout the area, keep tally of how many missing kid reports are out there in Liones." Meliodas delivers his first order in six years.

"Zeldy, tell me what you did with this place" I examined the floor plan of Drakon Inc. The business I once demanded would be mine in what felt like different times.

"Revamped the whole system. No longer a part of the monopoly. I've turned this business into a crime center. After the commandments issue, I noticed an increase in gangs. Some based on race superiority and others on territory. If a commoner reports a battle we send a team best fit for the situation." My little brother explained.

Quite fascinating to know he has exactly what we need here.

"The sins will be considered the Elite team. I want to oversee all reports after they are written up." I began.

"Zel you did better than I could have. I'm only here for a while then it's all yours again to control. For now, I'm in charge." I ended, making sure I was clear with my intentions.

He knew the situation though. We had already spoken when Tristan was attacked. I want her blood on my hands and I need this to lead me to her.

Give me anything to prove how rotten of a Diety you are.

"Your office is still untouched. Only thing I did was update all the equipment in there. Always knew you'd come back" Zeldris laughed, his hand on the knob.

"Knew I could count on you" I smirked.

He opened the door to reveal the same cherry wood desk in front of the large floor to ceiling windows that presented the most luxurious view. My trusty seat still as plush as it was before.

"Is the mansion still around too?" I question.

"Converted to the girls dormitory for that new college in Liones we are sponsoring. King Bartra came to us personally after the work we did with this place."

Of course the place I brought Elizabeth to would be gone. "Do we have privileges?" I ask again, hoping I could see it once more.

"We can visit. We are known as founders considering it's called Drakon Manor. When we visit its normally to make sure the students haven't entirely wrecked that dormitory." I nodded in response.

"What happened to my bedroom?" My last question being the most important to me.

"Currently sealed off. I had a feeling you wanted to see that room again." He glanced my way to catch the slight grin I couldn't contain.

"Keep it that way."

After hours of learning the new information Zel had to give me about this place, I was able to sit down in my office.

I had only one call to make.

"Yo. I need you to come check out these reports."

I said to him, my mind concentrating on the reason I came here instead of all the nonsense running through my mind.

"~ssssss, Lan-"

"Now, Ban." I demanded before hanging up on him. I'm not taking any excuses, today it will be and is strictly business. From all the sins I call on.

I scrolled through the already made up records from the three months that had passed. I examined each case involving any sort of child.

Humph. Would you look at that..

Case #1058
Marie Holmes
Human

Child was last seen tending to her parents field in a yellow dress, brown long hair worn down, white shoes and a large lily behind her ear. Mother and Father both in the barn at time of crime.

Evidence of foul play at scene.

About 20 of them just like it. All races of children included but each child fought back whoever captured them.

I heard a knock on my office doors. "Enter" my voice loud enough for him to hear. "Cap'n you wouldn't even let me talk." Ban complained after the door had shut.

"Come see these cases." I groaned as he started over.

I gave him a few moments to notice the same thing. "Why so many? All of them combat trained? Why?" Ban questioned as he skimmed through the reports.

"They knocked out Lance, no thoughts of killing him but of capturing him because he was trained." Anyone could hear the raw anger pouring through his voice.

"Tristan told us they called him 'priority' so tell me what that could mean?" I want to know if I'm not the only one.

Throughout my life I've only had her until I had Ban. When I regained my memories the two of us sat in front of the campfire with vanya ale in our hands and I told him all about everything I remembered. All that I shared with only my mate.

"What does she want with them?" Ban questioned himself.

"Beats me. I think it's time the real training started for our boys. I need you to train them. Have them test each other the way you and I do. Under no circumstances can my Tristan be captured. Especially with his mom being raised by that woman this time."

He nodded. The rest of the night spent studying each case we could find.
