Captain?! W-what are you doing here? We were just in call for a few minutes ago. He was glaring at the Supreme Deity. A death glare to be exact.

I took a glimpse at the goddess tied in front of him, lying hopeless. Bruises, black eyes and stenched blood.... Oh Elizabeth... p-poor you.. I hold myself from crying so I bit my lip to avoid any uneccesary noise and maintained a high look. Just look at what they did to you Elizabeth... you look like a mess.. A complete mess. Anger flowed into my veins as Elizabeth cry. I was angry for what they did to my friend.... I think I can't handle this. I hold my sword tightly, enough to leave a red mark on my palm.

"Y-yes Supreme Deity." I took a deep breathe, and she wave her gigantic hand and soon captain's hands were tight shut.

"Irene take him in. Kera, after you punish him, cover his cell with the rope of justice. Let's see how long he'll last when he feels goddess light on his filthy skin."

I nod in approval and took him to his cell.

"....You piece of shit." muttered Elizabeth. T-that was the first time she ever cussed.

"Words, Elizabeth. I did not raise you to be a bad-mouthed little girl." she smirked, and snap her fingers. Elizabeth was gone. Where did she go?!

"Don't worry, she's at her cell... My.. my duty as a mother is really disappointing." She sighed.

"But this is the law. Of what happened to my sister, I can't let it happen to my daughter."

"But why are you doing this to her?" I asked.

"She needs to be taught, Kera. I only wished she should be like you. A warrior, and has a loving husband that serves the goddess clan very well."

"But what if this isn't what Elizabeth wants?"

"Kera, since did you ever defend Elizabeth? You know you've always been searching for a man who's a perfect suitor for her."

I gulp. "Nothing, Supreme Deity. I have confusions for the past few days but I know I will find a suitor for her."

"You should be. But do not confuse. I think I'll let my daughter live."

"Y-you will?" My face lighten up.

"Yes. But not that demon."

My heart dropped for a reason and my legs quiver. I gulp, and sweat started to drop from my forehead. Keep it together Diane.

"You should go now and do what I have ordered you."

"Yes your highness."

I kept a good posture while walking out and head to the prisoners cell. I think this is it, I have to call the others. I went to a room where I'm all alone and I do hope that there are no cameras in here.

I press the little button behind my ear lobe, "Hey, anyone on?"

"Where are you?" chirped King.

"What? King is that you?"

"She doesn't understand you, Gerald."

"W-wha?" All I could hear is Escanor and a chirping bird. Perhaps that is King.

"What did King said?"

"He's asking where you are."

"I don't know where I am.... I, I'm all alone. Captain is captured and the Supreme Deity ordered me to hurt him." I sobbed.
