Elizabeth and Elliot managed to get out of the castle. The tunnel leads to an old storage room outside of Liones. With no one following them, the two managed to relax.
"Alright, no one is coming, we can relax now" Elliot sighed in relief as he threw himself on some old sandbags. "Seriously, acting all loyal and respectful towards your father is really tiring, Elizabeth."
"I imagined you would be reacting like that..." Elizabeth sweatdropped at his friend's sudden change of attitude "But I know you weren't lying that you will betray the kingdom and become a criminal, Elliot..."
Elizabeth was about on the verge of tears since she is sad that Elliot did this to himself.
"Heh, you're always been like this, ever since we've been little kids." Elliot chuckled as he remembered how a crybaby Elizabeth was, and she still is "Don't worry Elizabeth, this was my decision, and I know how we can restore Liones to its former glory."
Elizabeth stopped crying as he looked at Elliot with a hopeful expression "Y-you do?"
"Yep, we're going to find the legendary Seven Deadly Sins." Elliot revealed causing Elizabeth to recognize what he was exactly meant.
"The legendary Seven Deadly Sins? If I recall, they were banished as criminals..." Elizabeth was thinking if Elliot's idea was good, and honestly, she did like it.
"I suppose you don't believe in that crap..." Elliot deadpanned because it was silly that the Holy Knights were to believe it was that easy to struck false ideas in their heads. The Seven Deadly Sins were considered heroes of Liones, and their strongest force. It was honestly silly that they betrayed the kingdom all of sudden.
"O-of course not, I truly believe them as heroes, and they would never murder Lord Zaratras." Elizabeth had a resolute expression on her face.
"Yep, you're absolutely right." Elliot said.
"B-but, how do you plan to find them?" Elizabeth asked curiously.
"I... actually don't know. I only have the location of Fox Sin Ban; he is currently in Baste Dungeon." Elliot said while recalling the moment when some knights spoke of how many times Ban was executed, and survived all of the attempts.
"S-sir Ban is in Baste Dungeon? But it's impossible to break him out with just you alone!" Elizabeth exclaimed in worry.
"Don't worry Elizabeth, I'm not going alone. If I recall correctly, there is a tavern not too far from this place, maybe I can recruit some people there." Elliot said causing Elizabeth to sigh in relief.
"That sounds like a good idea. Then it's decided, right? We're going to that place to recruit some people and save Sir Ban!" Elizabeth now had a clear picture of what they must do.
"Yep. We're leaving at morning though, so be prepared." Elliot said causing Elizabeth to nod.
"Um, Elliot there was something I wanted to ask you, about your eye-"
"Alright we're going to sleep here tonight, you take that old couch right there Elizabeth while I use these sandbags, bye!" Elliot rapidly evaded the question as he immediately fell asleep.
"Eh?! Elliot wait..." Elizabeth tried to say something, but Elliot was already asleep. He always tries to change topics or evade the question completely when someone asks him about his eyes 'Why are you so reluctant on not telling us, Elliot...' she thought as she slowly fell asleep.
[Somewhere far away from Liones]
"U-um, so why did you pick this rusty armor in the first place?" Elizabeth asked curiously as she was getting more and more tired while walking with that rusty armor on.
