Normal POV

It has been exactly a week after the incident. News broke out, through Liza, about the true ring master of all the brutal killings these past six years. Javelot Clout died in the hands of Arthur King Pendragion. Police went to the crime scene and saw Javelot all bloody and beaten up like how Jesus Christ's torture would look (A/N: it was very disturbing for me to write the Jesus part because it pains me). Arthur was sent to prison along with everyone who had come to see his execution . They were directly sent to jail, but with Merylin's supreme attorney skills, the case was closed.

As promised by Arthur, the injured party signed a contract years ago. Stated there that 'whatever happens to Lancelot Clancy, may his injuries be made by the officers or the victims, all the blame will go to Arthur King Pendragion'. In short, the family of the victims are part of the organization through helping build the Camelotus Empire. For that reason, Arthur's company went back to it's wealthy status. Through this, they will not do the killing physically. Let the higher ranks (The Sins + Arthur) do the dirty job for them. This way, the injured party will get their revenge but will not have blood on their hands.

In court, the Jury accepted Arthur's excuse for the greater good. Comparing Arthur's murder of Javelot and Javelot's killings of many innocent lives, his death was worth it. That was the statement of the injured party and the majority. It may sound unfair to take a life for a life, but that's how the world is. Everyone falls into the seven deadly sins. It's an unescapable fact that none can overcome. Call it inhuman or not, what's done is done. Javelot Clout is officially dead.

Dreyfusard's reaction to the crisis made his reputation go further down as the public points fingers him saying that he is also part of the master plan. Merylin did a good job to defend his reputation. The members of the 10 commandments had lost trust in Dreyfusard except for Galantes. The Lord of truth looked into the depths of Dreyfusard's eyes and saw no evidence of lies. He was telling the truth. The only mistake he made was forcing Javelot to marry Elizabeth without knowing Javelot's true identity. The commandments had to believe him. Galantes never lies about anything. Dreyfusard was relieved. He was innocent and he still had his title. He was off the hook for this time.

Meanwhile, in the Prinzesse's side, Balton didn't hesitate to go after an injured Elizabeth. He was enraged that this had happened to his daughter. Balton's heart sped up. He has lost a wife, a daughter, and now he felt like he was gonna loose another one. Balton felt guilty for he was blinded by a man, who was about to marry his daughter. How disgusting that would feel to know that your daughter was about to marry a murderer. From now on, He'll pay a close attention to every man that would court Elizabeth...including Meliodas and Zeldris. What Balton doesn't know was that those two we're never TWO at all.

This news was the talk of the country. That is why when Grimm informed Veronica of the incident, she immediately booked a fligth back to Japan. Veronica didn't care about leaving while class was still going on. None of that mattered to her. Finding out Elizabeth's situation was a shock to her. Veronica was scared that she might loose Elizabeth too. The two rushed straight to the private jet leaving for Japan.

Elizabeth's POV

"So that's basically what happened Mama.....Margarett Onee-san....." I narrated what had happened this past week. Here I am talking in front of Mama and Margarett's gravestones. Just like father said, he didn't take his eyes off of me for one second. There were a couple of guards in a far away distance from where I stood.
