Unlimited Melizabeth Works

The letter O is for... the word "Obsession".

Meliodas overused his powers in order to break through Melascula's Cocoon of Darkness but in exchange of that, he sacrificed all the emotions he had left, once he heard that Melascula was going to kill Elizabeth personally while he was still trapped, he didn't cared about anything else than stopping her to do so.

Thanks to that, he managed to have back his powers to the fullest enough to use his Assault Mode now. However the countdown of the 3 days has already started since Elizabeth woke up, now all Meliodas cares about is to break the curse on her no matter what he must do in return, he firstly cut ties with the Seven Deadly Sins as a kind of empathy due to their previous comradeship.

Thus Meliodas turned back to the Demon Clan he betrayed in the past and came to negotiate with his younger brother Zeldris for the sake of possessing all the Commandments and becoming Demon King. Of course that they didn't agree, but then Estarossa entered, him too, wishing to participate, until...

"―Are you... Elizabeth?!" Estarossa asked with widened eyes and a shocked voice, as if he didn't believe that the reincarnated and now awakened goddess was just in front of him.

"!" Elizabeth still hides behind Meliodas' back as he told her to just in case but she was shocked to hear her name being called by someone she never met. "H–how do you know my name? This is the first time that I've ever met you..."

'It's him...! He's the one who killed Meliodas back then... but it's strange... I get the feeling I've met him somewhere before that.' Elizabeth thought, both confused and perplexed over the fact that she felt familiar about a man whom she never met before, was it because she was famous to the Demon Clan for making their previous leader switch sides? But if so he shouldn't have recognized her immediately if they never met before...

"...Who knows? I don't really understand myself." After a small moment of silence, Estarossa brought a hand to his forehead under his bangs to try and calm down the internal turmoil full of questions that was going on in his mind.

But then he finally spoke again which got him the attention of all the persons in the room, "Forget it, I changed my mind. I'm gonna pass on the whole game of fight for the Demon King's throne. ...But in exchange... give Elizabeth to me." He finished with an arrogant and expecting smile, probably thinking that it was easy to decide.

Elizabeth was shocked and so was Peronia but Chandler was more happy than anything, with that no one would turn around his young master!

"..." But Meliodas just frowned further silently as he looked at Estarossa.

For some reason him and Elizabeth knew each other which wouldn't be improbable, maybe the two met onto the battlefield. But what catches more of his attention is the hungry glint inside Estarossa's dark eyes which is strongly present when Elizabeth is in his field of vision. And Meliodas didn't like it at all.

Yes, even if he doesn't have his emotions anymore, he didn't like the way Estarossa was looking at Elizabeth. It wasn't jealousy or anything, it just didn't sit well with him. Because the look in Estarossa's eyes wasn't the one Meliodas always had for Elizabeth, it was much darker and with madness in it. If Elizabeth were to be 'entrusted' to that guy... who knows what he would do to the princess. As long as he could break the curse on Elizabeth, he originally thought that he didn't care about anything else... but it seems that he was wrong about that. But more than anything―

"After all this time, I didn't come back just to fight amongst brothers... so let me make two things perfectly clear." He grabbed Elizabeth by her arm and pulled her protectively behind him before extending his other arm, acting like a barrier between the demons and her, "The one that's going to become Demon King is me. And I'm not handing Elizabeth over to anyone."

'That's right. No matter what happens, this alone won't change.'

With emotions or not, no matter what happened it didn't change the fact that Elizabeth was only his and his only, his to protect, his to possess and his to love. That's why he would never let her fall into the hands of that brother of his, he would never let anyone touch her, to hurt her. All of her, from a single strand of hair to a single drop of blood―belonged to him after all.

He knows that once he absorbed all the Commandments, he wouldn't be able to stay in this world anymore, he wouldn't be able to stay in the same place as she does anymore, neither he would be able to stay at her sides anymore but until then... until he finally break this 3,000 years long curse, she would only belong to him and only him.
