"Hey." I said, approaching her while she hides her face in embarrassment.

"Don't hide it, you look beautiful."

"I-I do?"

"Yeah. How'd you do it anyway?" I grinned, while she slowly face me with a smile.

"I asked Merlin for help with my hair to grow fast. What are you doing here?"

"I.. I wanted to see you."

"That's sweet of you." She said, blushing. She turn around to face the gigantic statue of the angel Ylona. Her golden statue was of her standing in agony as tears were also carved.

"Angel Ylona.." She mumbled.

"Hm?"

"She is beautiful."

There was a tale where an angel named Ylona, part of the goddess clan who also fell in love with one of the demon clan. But Ylona didn't listen to any word they say. She followed her heart, and continued to fight. Back in the day, our ancestors were quite savages. Even a child could wield a sword, and to die in battle was higly respected.

So the angel Ylona who was sentenced to death and tortured her for 31 days, kept his lover sane. He declared war towards the clans, and single-handedly killed them. Thousands of angels, faries and giants died during the battle, all for the sake of one woman. That was the very first Holy War that occured and the main reason why both the demon and goddess were rivals. Her lover, who survived the war carved Ylona a statue of her own and made it look like how he last saw her in his arms.

"The tale said that the demon didn't die."

"Who knows, maybe he died of loneliness." I said.

"Enough is enough! What are you worrying about anyway?" I smiled, and pulled her in the middle where a circle of crystal light was formed.

"Dance with me, little goddess."

I stretched out my hand to her waist and held her other hand.

"Oof! I-I can't dance!" She cried.

"I can't dance neither, nishishi."

"This is weird, your temperature hasn't come down yet, it's been 3 days since your fever."

"Onee.." said Ellie, while Diane holds her hand.

"Hang in there Ellie, you'll be well in no time." Diane said.

"Merlin, I think it's best if we let Elizabeth heal Ellie." Said King, floating beside Diane.

"That will leave me no choice. Very well." I sighed, and Ellie's eyes brightened. She saw Elizabeth as her mother, which she really is, but sis-sis doesn't see that. She only see her nothing but a child.

"Ellie, you'll meet your mommy!~" Diane said cheerily, while King was happy for her.

"But only I can get in." I cut them out.

"Huh? Why?"

"Elizabeth doesn't recognize either of you. She only recognize me maybe because the Supreme Deity didn't erased her memories of my relationship with her."

"Erase? What?" asked Diane in a very confused tone.

"I heard the druids talking, about the Supreme Deity reviving Elizabeth and erasing all of her current memories with the sins, Liones and Meliodas. It's no doubt that we're not the only ones who wouldn't want Elizabeth and captain to meet."
