Kiane, Great Britannia

I couldn't lie to you.

Recap: King has officially joined the seven deadly sins, he is set to find the killer and help Diane regain her lost memories. He also awaits the news that Arthur Pendragon is King..

King: Uhm.. Pardon??
Diane: I was just wondering, you seem familiar.. And if you're familiar I just want to know where you're from.. I might just be being stupid but-
King: -You're not stupid!

King said with a hint of pink, but he was determined to see this through (as shown also on his face).

King: I.. Mean.. You're very intellectual in your own ways.. I mean from what I've heard, not that I.. Have known you before like.. Your wholeee life or anything but. uh. I feel like I'm talking too much..?? Ahahaha...

Diane laughed at Kings flustered-ness.

Diane: If it's a difficult question to answer, I can respect your privacy!
King: Well, it's not a matter of privacy.. It's a matter of, well...

King thought about it.

King thoughts: Protecting you and proving to myself that I can win your heart again. I feel this is selfish and quite ignorant of me, I wish to tell you every moment of it.. But I must be patient. There must be a way to bring your memories back, I'll find you Diane. I will find you.

King smiled at Diane.

King: I don't think I'll be as useful to you as you might expect.. I'm just from the fairy kingdom, so nothing too-
Diane: -FAIRY KINGDOM?!

Diane shook King.

Diane: I would love to go, can you take me sometime?? Ahh!!! I've heard so much from the captain and Ban, I can't help but feel envious. To grow up there, what a blessing that must be!!

King laughed at her enthusiasm.

Diane: What?? *pouts*
King: Ahaha, sorry..

King wiped the tears of laughter from his soft rosey cheeks (munchkin)

King: I just didn't expect that reaction, haha.
Diane: What reaction were you expecting??

Diane nudged King.

King: Something practiced, probably. You've always been good with mannerisms so I.. Uh. UHHH I MEAN-
Diane: -Always been??
King: Aha!! Always been, I mean from the short time that I've known and heard about you, mhm!

Both King and Diane jumped when a certain someone started calling out for them.

King: Oh, aha.. It's just Meliodas..
Diane: You mean captain now, aha!
King: I completely forgot! Forgive me.
Diane: I'm just messing with you, hehe

Diane jokingly punched Kings arm. He had to hold back the tears as he bit into his lip.

Seems her strength has improved since the last time he saw her!

King and Diane rushed downstairs.

Elizabeth saw King and Diane. King looked at her and she stared right back.

Elizabeth: ..King?
King: Princess Elizabeth..

Elizabeth gasped as she ran over to hug King.

Elizabeth: I heard all about it, you poor soul..
King: MELIODAS?!
Meliodas: Sorry, I can't keep a secret from her, ehehe.
Diane: What secret?? I wanna hear!
Meliodas: He has Hives-
King: I DO NOT. It's just mild, but it's about my Diane.
Diane: You know princess Elizabeth??
Elizabeth: Please Lady Diane just call me Elizabeth!!
Diane: Then just call me Diane, hmph!

It seems a good and fair trade! King stared at Diane. Elizabeth watched as he stared. She looked to Meliodas.

Elizabeth: I'm guessing you're keeping it secret??
King: She wouldn't believe me either way.

King looked at Elizabeth and smiled, a tear running down his cheek. Elizabeth held his hand as she cried too.

King: Aha, why are you crying?
Elizabeth: I just.. Feel your pain. It must be so hard to go through something like this.
King: I appreciate your understanding.
Diane: Is this about your Diane??

Diane hugged King.

Diane: It must be hard for you!

King stayed silent and hugged her back. He wanted to stay like this a little longer. He longed for her touch, he longed for her embrace, her attention.. Everything, just for her to look his way.

King: Diane...

Diane let go and King let her slip from his grasp.

Diane: I promise to help you, King. You're a valuable friend and comrade!
King: Mhm, thank you Diane.

Elizabeth ran off, Meliodas chased after her.

Diane: I wonder why she suddenly ran off??
King: Perhaps feeing overwhelmed seeing me again.
Diane: Why would that be?
King: Uhm.. It's been a while?? Maybe she thought I was.. Uhm.. I'm not sure actually..
Diane: Hmmm..
King: Probably the fact I don't have Diane by my side, as she was always with me.
Diane: Diane knows Elizabeth too?
King: Well, Ofcourse. She is my maid after all! I.. Mean.. Partner.
Diane: Maid?? Are you secretly rich??
King: Uhm.. You could say that, I suppose.
Diane: You have a lot of secrets don't you?
King: I.. Uh..
Ban: *Yawnnnnn* Diane and.. pudgy pig!
King: PUDGY PIG?! YOU SLOB.

King chopped Bans head off. Diane gasped. King didn't even flinch.

Ban: Ouch, rude.
King: And you'd be one to know.
Ban: Yeahh~~~ whatever you say.

Diane told off Ban for King. King had a flashback of this happening before..

Diane was standing up for Harlequin before, against King Gloxinia.
