"H-Holy knight? With Gilthunder?"

You stammered as your pupils grew to a large extent. Your mother's words were not only surprising, but it brought the whole room to a state of silence. You tried to process her sudden announcement that took unlimited conditions to understand.

"Yes. Sir Lance Silver. He trained vigorously with Gilthunder just a few years back, thus inheriting each other's magical capabilities during the sessions," Mrs. Silver explained, a mature tone laced in her audible regret.

You shook your head and glanced at Meliodas. His expression was difficult to read, but you were able to reach out to his misunderstanding. He shared eye contact with you and lifted his straight lips into a comforting smile.

"It's sorta weird how I don't remember Sir Lance since I associated with Lil Gil for quite some time-"

"Before he started attacking your ass, that is," Ban interrupted with a bit of sarcasm.

King whacked him in the back of his head and coughed. "UH- ignore Ban Mrs. Silver. Please continue with the information."

Your mother nodded and sighed before beginning another piece of unknown knowledge.

"(Y/N)'s father originally was gifted with dark magic before Gilthunder made him lose that path and helped him with the fundamentals of his own talent. They were mutuals. Lance.. you see.. soon realized what was becoming of his friend.."

Mrs. Silver paused to re-adjust. "Lance quit being a Holy Knight after realizing what would become of them soon. He tried his very best to leave that life behind, so he tried to by acquiring the job of a merchant. That's when he met me.. a normal resident of Liones. We settled here in Cain Town and had (Y/N).. deciding it was best to keep the possible danger for her future a secret."

She looked at you. "We wanted you to have a normal life, hun."

You quivered as each word that escaped her lips slapped you. Everything is now so clear. Your powers were no mistake, and now that you learned of the murder of your father and return of your mother, you couldn't help but let revenge boil in your blood.

"We didn't know she would inherit a different power than her father's though.. but dark magic may be in her," Mrs. Silver concluded.

"(Y/N)? Are you okay?" Diane asked with concern, placing her hand on your shoulder.

You rubbed her cold hand and nodded. "I'm fine, just.. it's just too much. Well, everything makes sense now. But why would someone go after dad?"

You recalled his warm smile, tired eyes, and short bustles on his chin when he attempted to grow a beard. You loved to rub your cheek on them as a kid, and was always in awe by his strength whenever work was accomplished around the house.

Your mother shrugged. "I don't know. I quickly returned here after his death to see you gone, and that's when I knew you found out."

Merlin pushed back her long coat. "Pardon me, but I believe that because he was labeled as a traitor, he was wanted dead. The castor for the spell is likely to be an old associate."

You clenched your fists. "It's not Gilthunder.. right?"

Meliodas crossed his arms. "Who knows, it's unlikely."

Elizabeth spoke up. "U-Uhm... I-I'm wondering, what is to be done now?"

Everyone peered at each other for reassurance. A reply was needed in the midst of confusion.

Meliodas placed a hand on his hip and the other hand up to in the air to symbolize pride. "We will destroy the rebellious holy knights of course.. restore peace in the kingdom.."

"and most importantly, avenge (Y/N)'s dad!"
