The Eighth Deadly Sins

Harlequin

My eyelids flutter open from the slight light coming through the windows, the light glares right into my eyes. my arms, head, and chest are bandaged. I groan and slightly begin to recall the previous events. Captain meliodas and I had a battle but who won? i try my hardest to remember but i can't. "so your finally up?" a voice from beside me pops up. i turn slowly just now realizing the second person in the room. "king! what happened and where am i?" he props himself up on one elbow and looks at me. "you and meliodas had quite the battle, and now your at the boar hat, both your injuries were bad so you've both been passed out for a while." "the boar hat?" "yeah it's the tavern the captain owns" "oh," i turn my body and lay flat on my back looking at the ceiling. "hey what are you thinking about?" king asked floating above me. "mm nothing important" "well do you feel better?" "yeah i feel fine how long was i out?" " you've both been out for 10 days, but you seem to have awoken before the captain." "hmm" "what?" "oh nothing" i reply giggling. i lean up slowly and groan from the soreness. "so tell me what happened" after king finally got everything explained. i started thinking back to the message i got from the gods. i mean can i really release them? who knows what they're planning. I look up to king deciding wether or not i should ask the question that's bugging me. "what's up resha?" "king i need you to tell me why the seven deadly sins betrayed me." "resha they're was so much," "i know king but i need to know please Harlequin." "well daniel was a spy from the other nation," "right, but he had stopped giving intel," "that's what we all thought but he hadn't he was still telling the rmkness kindom everything. so meliodas told the king of leones, he didn't want to hurt you so he didn't say anything, he thought the king was just going to talk to daniel but instead," "instead he had him executed," i finished the tears threatening to spill now. kings small body quickly wrapped around me holding me tight. "resha don't cry" "thank you king," i reply pulling him closer to me. after a moment king pulls away quickly. "so resha uhh do you want to uhh go downstairs and get some food" "yeah i'm starving!" i get out of the bed slowly  and feels my legs wobbling underneath me. My knees buckle and i feel myself begin to fall, but i never reach the ground. kings arm wrapped around my waist and held me up thankfully. "thanks king," "i like it better when you call me harlequin" he whispers i think more to himself than me. "okay harlequin than let's go get some food."

After we finally made it down the stairs king sets me on a barstool and let's me go. "okay so what do you want to eat?" "hmm are you making it?" "it seems so" "hmm then eggs, bacon, biscuits and gravy!" "alright coming right up your majesty." "aww thank you my good sir," i reply giggling. king gets everything cooked and done quickly. after he's done he makes two plates he slides one in front of me and one to the seat next to me. king flies over the counter and takes a seat next to me. i bite into the eggs and smile. "harlequin this is amazing!" "thanks resha," he replies smiling. "harlequin i could live for days like these, with you," i reply smiling and digging into my food.
