The executioner's son - The Seven Deadly Sins

un-needed revenge

3rd POV

Gedeon appeared in an abandoned house inside the necropolis, his mask no longer distorted, he looked over to a window to see Harlequin looking out the window whilst floating on his pillow, the fairy took notice of the holy knight and turned from the window to face him,

"Meliodas has made his move. Diane is with him and they are on their way to Ban, which they have somehow found the location of, Gilthunder, thinking Meliodas was about to die, told him you died and are now in the necropolis itself meaning they will come here mostly likely in the next three or so days." Gedeon informed, "I assume you have not gained access to the necropolis yet?" Gedeon asked, earning a hum from Harlequin,

"So they will be coming this way soon? Good to know. I have a score to settle with Ban and it'll be interesting seeing those other two." King spoke monotonously as he let out a yawn, "And unfortunately, no progress in getting into the necropolis. I'm guessing you'll be wanting me to move on soon?" he asked,

"Two things, no, you stay here for as long as you feel the need and I don't mind you fraternizing with the sins, heck I would turn a blind eye if you joined them. I've read your files. I know you are close to Diane and your captain." Gedeon explained, earning a raised eyebrow from King, urging the demon to explain, "Honestly I don't care if you betray the kingdom as long as you don't get in my way. I know what it is like to try and dislike someone you can't help but enjoy spending time with. *sigh* If only things could have gone differently for me. Anyways I'm going off topic. As I said, go ahead with joining them. It doesn't affect me. You have fun. Don't mistake me for a good person. I have my reasons for wanting you back with the sins." Gedeon spoke just as monotonous as King,

"Hm. Interesting for you to come out and say you have an ulterior motive. That is usually something you would want to hide. I never did trust you, you always seemed off to me. Like you don't belong among the holy knights." King spoke, slight curiosity in his voice, a slight chuckle coming from Gedeon,

"Why you would be right." Gedeon waved a hand over the bottom of his mask using magic, the mouth part of the mask and bellow disappearing as Gedeon bared his teeth, showing King his fangs causing the fairy's eyes to widen,

"Y-you're a Vampire! I thought they were all killed!" King exclaimed, Gedeon letting out a hearty laugh,

"Half vampire but yes. My mother was Gelda of a thousand temptations." Gedeon revealed causing King's eyes to widen,

"I heard of her! The captain defeated her! She was one of the strongest of them! Even stronger than the ones me, Gowther and Diane fought! But wait, if that is the case, wouldn't you want revenge on us?" King questioned in concern,

"No. It was what happened that awakened my powers, I would most likely have been the next vampire king after Izraf. I am effectively the king of the vampires although I have no vampires to rule over. They are all completely extinct. I should hate Meliodas and at times I do but I just can't seem to bring myself to hate him. Though revenge is something that interests me, something I will take. Now, I shall be going, you have had your warnings. I have someone to meet.

---------With Meliodas---------

"Captain, what was he talking about? And is it just me or did he hesitate when he finished speaking?" Diane questioned the demon as she walked side-by-side to Hawks mama,

"Gedeon is a master manipulator, he'll say anything to split us apart and as for his hesitation, I can't really be sure, he was always a ruthless person. It could be that you're a giant. He's always gotten along better with giants and fairies than he did with other humans. Even then, he never really showed hesitation or mercy to anyone so I'm at a loss. Unless..." Meliodas trailed off, knowing his line of thinking didn't seem likely, 'there's no way he's changing, what could a few hundred years without being in the demon realm really do to him?' Meliodas thought to himself,
