"You have to understand Chastity, I didn't want to use you." Zeldris reaches out to the girl who quickly moves her arm away from his reach. He could see the hurt on her face, the physical and mental pain she's in. He see's it all.
"Was any of this real?" She blinks, trying to fight back the tears. Her voice, now strained, in pain. To her surprise, Zeldris reaches out to cup her cheek. Fresh tears now streaming down her cheeks, she flinches at his touch.
Her bright golden eyes met his soft gaze. The painful look etched across her face sent a sharp pain throughout his body.
"I meant everything, all of the time I spent with you, all of it."
"Is that the truth?" She pressed further, "or just another lie? Zeldris I can't trust you... as much as I want to I can't." She chokes back a sob, making his hearts feel as if they're being tugged on. "What were your plans after you used me? You said you wanted to marry me Zeldris. Did you just want to throw me away? Kill me after you gained your position as king?"
"No."
"The plan was to place you in purgatory and keep you there, wasn't that what father said?" Estarossa smirks, glancing around the room as he cracked his fist.
"I'd break every damn bone in my body before I let them or him take you away from me. She will never set foot into purgatory," he growls, his fists tightening at the thought of losing her.
The pain behind Chastity's eyes is a sight that'll haunt Zeldris forever. "Did you ever truly love me?"
"I've always loved you, everything I do is to protect you. The only thing I ask for is your trust." He tries to wipe her tears from her eyes but they kept coming, falling down like a waterfall. He gently wraps his arms around her. "We'll finish this conversation later, I promise."
"Sorry to interrupt this sentimental moment but back to our previous conversation." Meliodas scratches his head, awkwardly wanting to remove himself from this. "I will be demon king with Elizabeth by my side."
"No, I'll be demon king," his hearts continue to beat faster as he pulls Chastity even closer to him. Almost wanting-ly suffocating himself with her pleasant scent. 'She smells so good, well she smells good all the time, this time it's flowers.'
'What is she doing to me?'
"And Chastity will be by my side."
"Counting me out again I see?" Estarossa's throat felt tight and heavy, a bit afraid of what may happen once he says what he's about to say. Chastity closes her eyes, tiredly rubbing her eyelids while yawning.
'She wasted a lot of energy without attacking, she needs to rest.'
"No offense Estarossa but I don't think you should be demon king," Chastity spoke, stretching her arms out, trying to regain some of her energy. "You're far too just of a man to hold that position."
