"What is it, father?" Meliodas said gruffly as he walked into the throne room. Demon King frowned.
"Speak to me with some respect, Meliodas," the Demon King scolded. "I am your king." Meliodas looked down and nodded.
"Understood," Meliodas said. "I apologize for my uncalled for arrogance." The Demon King hummed satisfied with his son.
"Now to what I wanted to discuss with you," the Demon King began. "Your brother, Zeldoris, is indeed improving but not enough." Meliodas still had his head down but peeked through his bangs at him.
"You and Culsak will train him from this moment on," the Demon King ordered. "You are dismissed."
"I will do my best to train him," Meliodas said and turned to leave.
"Oh, and before you go," the Demon King added. "Be careful not to grow too attached."
Meliodas left the room and returned to the training ground. There he saw Zeldris charging at Gowther. What in the world are they doing?
--
Zeldris ran towards Gowther with a hellblaze growing in his hand. Gowther just simply weaved out of the way. Zeldris ended tumbling on the ground. He got up quickly and prepared to charge again.
Meliodas walked up to the bench and sat down to watch. Zeldris attacked again. His posture was sloppily and he was barely keeping his balance. Gowther was too easy of a time dodging his attacks. Meliodas sighed and rested his elbows on his knees.
"Zeldris," Meliodas called out. Gowther and Zeldris paused and faced the prince. "Clean up your posture. You need to keep your back straight, head up, and shoulders back." Meliodas' tone was harsh and cold. He wore a tight frown, showing only disappointment. Zeldris nodded, fear in his eyes.
Zeldris quickly fixed his stance and attacked. This time he managed to hit Gowther. Meliodas nodded in approval when Zeldris glanced at him. From this point on, Meliodas continued to watch Zeldris fight as he gave him small pointers as the sparring progressed.
The battle ended when Zeldris cast a spell that ended up knocking Gowther's head off.
