If you need a hero

Finding Clues

"Have you heard of that rumor ?" The king, Meliodas asks. Every knights nodded, Meliodas sigh and continue his speech, has his lover, the queen Elizabeth, was by his side. "So we made a pact with the king of the other country, whoever is able to save the prince will be able to marry him." Everyone nodded while also being a little shocked but not too much as it was pretty common for union like that, but for a prince to be able to marry a knight that was something new.

Everyone bow down to the king to make him know that they understood what he was saying. The king smile and dismissed all the knights. Everyone left the room and went different way to find some clues on where the prince could be. 

"Do you really want to marry him, Ban ?" A knight asks another, Ban shook his head. 

"Nope, I'm just helping the other looking for him." Ban answered. "And you Gowther, you need some help for it ?" Ban asked, Gowther looks at Ban for a moment and answered his question.

"Kinda, I guess." Gowther whispered before looking at the ground for a moment before looking back at him. "I have feelings I don't understand." Gowther explain. 

The king had already show a paint of the prince and Gowther just by seeing the paint felt something in his heart for some reasons. He has never seen a prince this pretty and something in his heart just couldn't help himself. 

"Need some help ?" Ban ask him, Gowther though about it for a moment but he admit that a little help won't hurt, he nodded and before he could say anything else he heard someone else calling him.

"I wanna help too !" They say. Gowther and Ban looks at them a moment, not expecting them to want to help them out.

"You sure Diane ?" She nodded, completely exited. 

"Friends help each other after all right ??." She excitedly answer. Gowther and Ban both smiled and thanks her for wanting to help them in this adventure. "No problem ! What are friends for after all !" Diane smiled as her friends smiled back, happy that she was willing to help.

Together, they went to different places, going houses to houses to question people. Going to different tavern and shops to continue questioning people about what they know or just eavesdropping their conversation. Ban was the one who was mostly doing this as he was the best at doing it, Diane and Gowther always end up being caught all the time. 

After some times they were able to collect as much information as possible BUT they still had no idea of the place where the prince could be. They went back to the castle as they sigh, not knowing where to start with all the information they collected. 

The sat down on a table with the notes they made to not forget any information and try to analyze it, trying to find a place or anything, any clues on where the prince could be. But nothing, absolutely nothing. Well until Gowther looks at some of the notes. 

"Here, they talked about an abandoned castle, we could try to look there ?" Gowther suggest. Everyone nodded, after all it was the only place they had that could be it. 

"Alright, we'll go tomorrow, it's already almost night." Ban suggest, the other nodded knowing the going at night wouldn't be a very good idea, since they wouldn't see anything. 

The three of them went into their houses, getting ready for tomorrow, preparing their bags. After preparing them they all went to sleep.

The next day, they all took their stuff with them, getting ready in their armors as they head out to the castle. When everyone was reunited they say goodbye to the king and head out to the abandoned castle to try and see if the prince was there and if it was, to deliver him.
