Holy knight Jude's POV

I don't know what sir Rou did to him, but what ever it was, blood was leaking out the door and Ban was screaming in pain, the guards standing next to me are shivering in terror, I don't quite blame them, this goes beyond what I do. I hear a knock coming from the other side of the door but the guards only flinched,

"Well? Are you going to open the door?" I spoke, annoyed they weren't doing their job, one of them quickly running to the door but hesitates before opening it, it is clear that they don't want to see the sight on the other side of that door, the knight eventually opened the door, the first thing I see is sir Rou but he is covered head to toe in blood, 

"Unfortunately I have gained no information of use to either of us. Though I think I'll come back for another session another day." He said, a joyful tone seeping through in his last sentence, did sir Rou take pleasure in torturing people? "Yes Jude, I'm not going to deny that, I do indeed enjoy a good torture session. In fact I take pride in my ability. I apologise for the mess but I must be going, I have other things to attend to and I can't just show up to a meeting like this. I bid you a good day." Sir Rou spoke, did he just read my mind? But only fairies can do that, so how? "I'll leave that for you to decide Jude. Good day." He spoke in a final tone, walking away, leaving me stunned and the two guards terrified of the mess left behind.

3rd POV

Gedeon teleported to his quarters in the castle and changed his clothing, he cleaned his mask and put it on the side of his head, he was going to need it again later on for a meeting with King. The sin of sloth joined the holy knights, his motivation behind helping the holy knights they didn't know and Gedeon intended to find out, weather he would tell the him or he would pluck it out of his head, he would find out. He teleported to where the meeting is to take place, to find king already there, the mask hiding Gedeon's shock, this boy, he was harlequin, the fairy king. 'fuck it, I'm showing myself now, I need to have a serious word with him and for that to happen, I need to reveal my identity,' Gedeon thought, by this point, King had noticed the boy, he took off his mask and looked King in the eye, the fairy's eyes widened,

"That can't be! I know you! You're Gedeon! I saw it! Meliodas killed you!" King shouted in pure shock,

"No, I used magic to temporarily stop my heartbeats, and I simply held my breath, I ceased all movement and due to the amount of blood, anyone would believe I would be dead. No I did not die. But that is not what is important, Harlequin." Gedeon spoke, the fairy's name coming out like poison, 'how does he?' "I was a close friend of Gerheade's, I used to visit the forest from time to time, I even developed a friendship with Elaine as well. You know, they wanted me to help looking for you, I did look for you for a long time, I just never figured out that it was you the whole time. Do you know how desperate they were to find you? I guess it's just too bad, since they both died in those flames." Gedeon spoke, with a sadistic smile, doing his best to anger the fairy, in which he succeeded, King let out an angered scream and attacked Gedeon with his chastifol, Gedeon's smirk just widened as he blocked the attack with a finger and a thumb, he put pressure into the weapon, making the blade crack and shatter,

"Is that all you can do? No wonder you couldn't protect your sister or your people." Gedeon taunted, King let out another angered yell as chastifol put itself back together,

"Spirit spear chastifol, fifth configuration, increase!" King yelled, the hundreds of knives dashed towards Gedeon, only for him to unsheathe his sword and deflect every last one of them in an instant before sheathing it again, making them clatter to the ground at King's feet,
