MY DARK GODDESS [MeliodasxElizabeth Fanfic]

SIN 1: Second Demon Prince

Elizabeth's POV

I am weak, not just because I'm a princess who never wields anything heavy, I am born weak. All of my friends are becoming stronger while, I can't even take another step. Sir Meliodas always cheers me up and that makes happy! But I wonder why my smile can't even reach up to my ears.

"Elizabeth! Could you pick up some fresh vegetables? It seems that I can't get out" Sir Meliodas asked me while wrestling up with Sir Ban and the other sins are watching happily.

"Sure!" I cheerfully accepted. I knew my smile was fake because it changes Sir Meliodas' expression. I quickly took a basket and was about to head the door when he suddenly asks me.

"Elizabeth, are you okay?" he asks me seriously. I turned to him and said-

"Yes, I'm... perfectly fine so don't you worry about me" I laugh softly and genuinely smiled to convince him more. I quickly turn the doorknob but Sir Meliodas walks up to me and suddenly gropes me! I squealed the heating of my face makes me want to cover my face from the sins who just sighed.

"Are you sure? I don't think you're saying the truth? Nishishishi~" He said to my ears and that blush me even harder. I was about to say something when Diane walks up to us in her human form and tied Sir Meliodas up. I was gasping for air and smiled at her apologetically she just winks at me and said-

"I think you are troubled. Go get some air and relax" She smiled and wacks Sir Meliodas' head who still smiling at me agreeing to her statement.

"But Sir Meliodas-"

"Oh don't ya worry about him, He's fine! Now go!" She said to me and tied Sir Meliodas harder. I smiled shyly and quickly took off. Hawk was about to come with me because he seems I was depressed over something but I politely declined and runs to the forest at the back of the tavern.

----------

I looked into the forest and quickly look some fresh vegetables, but I couldn't find any, so I dig deep into the forest and was able to find a garden full of vegetables. I was amazed because it seems there are no people who are taking care of it. As I was about to pick I first ask permission to have some.

"Pardon for my intrusion, I will take some of the vegetables.." I quietly asked. I put my basket down on began to pick greens that I find edible.

I traced back to my thought, "The how's and why's of me being weak and couldn't do anything when there's trouble". No matter how hard I try I always end up shouting Sir Meliodas' name to help me. The guilt swells within my throat just having him hurt because of my problems. I winced when I suddenly pricked my finger on a fragment of broken glass. I stared at it for a moment embracing the pain it has given as I was pitying myself making my chest hurt.

"Don't cry... Don't cry" Tears welled up on my eyes as I was rubbing my finger on a handkerchief and comforting myself. That made me cried even more not because I was pricked but because of me being unuseful and weak to the sins. Maybe I was never meant to have them on my side, maybe I'm just a nuisance and they're just obligated to protect me because I'm a princess? Is that it?

I brushed that thought away because the sins I know are full of good people and they treated me as their friend. I'm just drowned by my insecurities that's all, I am the problem. I ended my thoughts and heavily sighed to calm myself.

I pick and pick without even noticing there was a person behind me.

"Hn, And I thought my older brother is going to protect you with his life. It seems he's taking a day off. What a slacker."
