𝐑𝐄𝐁𝐎𝐑𝐍, seven deadly sins

THREE

CHAPTER THREE

AFTER THE CROWD OF KNIGHTS caught the two angels, they moved them to a more appropriate setting. The king's chambers. Elizabeth and Jol sat on the king's bed with their hands on their laps. Surrounding them were the Seven Deadly Sins and the Royal family. They were both trembling were they sat, both looking at the ground with guilt written on their faces. Elizabeth was the first to speak. "We were just playing in the garden, father."

The king frowns at his daughter. "You know you're not supposed to go in the garden unless I or one of your sisters or a knight are with you."

"I know the father."

Jol pouts, looking up from the ground and extending her arm in front of Elizabeth.

"It isn't her fault Mister King Sir!" she exclaims. "We just wanted to play princess and knight!"

Veronica peaks out from her father's legs, holding on his royal robe. "And what were you doing in the royal garden anyway?" she asks suspiciously.

"Well...I ...uh.." Jol stumbles, wracking her brain to find the right words. She pursed her lips, waving her arms in weird motions. "Um...I clapped my hands and BoOM!" The others in the sweatdropped at Jol's explanation making her blush on the spot.

Veronica scoffs, clenching her father's robe tightly. "Liar, you can't do that!"

"Can too!" Jol shouts!

"Can not!"

Elizabeth frowns, glaring at Veronica. "Sister, don't be mean!"

Ban snickers in the corner of the room, crossing his arms. "This is the funniest thing ever." Immediately after saying that, he was punched in the arm by Meliodas and shushed by King.

Jol suddenly jumps down from the king's bed and glares at Veronica while pointing accusingly at the older princess. "Watch me, you purple grape!" Jol taunts, offending Veronica and making Margeret giggle. Jol then puts her hands together, quickly rubbing the. Just then, the ground below her swallowed her and she slid down to who knows where. Ban blinked confused. "What the hell just happened?"

Elizabeth's mouth set in a thin line. She had faith that Jol would come back to prove her statement true. Even when a minute past, Elizabeth still waited. The others in the room grew inpatient, with Ban saying to Meliodas, "Ten bucks that she doesn't come back," The youngest princess shook her head, refusing that nasty thought. Another minute past, this time Elizabeth staggering in her spot.

"Here I am!" Elizabeth beams hearing Jol's voice and seeing her with a handful of berries? Jol grins, licking the light coat of berry juice around her mouth. "Sorry, I got lost!"

Elizabeth ran to her friend and hugged her tight. Jol snuggled into her embrace and took the opportunity to look over Elizabeth's tiny shoulder and stuck her tongue out to Veronica. Veronica blushes from embarrassment, looking away while crossing her arms.

"Please continue with the story." The King asks.

Jol and Elizabeth walked back to the bed, hand in hand. "Ok! Uh...then I and Princess became close friends!"

"P-Princess??" Elizabeth blushes.

Jol nods cutely, "Of course! You're my Princess and I'm your shining knight in armor!"

Jol quickly grabbed Elizabeth's hand stood up on the bed pointing up towards the ceiling imitating a worthy holy knight. "I'll protect you no matter what! I swear it to the scared holy twee!"

"Are you even right to be a holy knight?" Veronica asked putting her hands on her hips.

"Darn totting I am!" Jol puts her hands on her hips. "To prove it I'll be a holy knight, like with the other girls!"

Ban chuckles,

"This brat really is courageous."

Jol looks over at the immortal man and her eyes start to shine in amazement. She floated up to Ban and Meliodas making some in the room gasp. She points at sword on Meliodas' back. "Your sword is really cool Mister!"

"This old thing? Nah." Meliodas says, grinning. "It's nothing special."

"You all look so cool! Like big old knights!"

"Thanks squirt." Jol beams, floating over to Elizabeth. "Aren't they awesome Elizabeth?"

"Super cool!" Elizabeth said nodding eagerly. The king let out a hearty laugh, picking up his tired daughter and bringing her close to his chest. The king looked over to Meliodas and asks: "What should we do with her?"

"We should look for her mother, who knows how long she's been gone?" King suggests stuffing his hands in his pocket.

Meliodas picks Jol up in his arms and twirled her around making her giggle. "In the meanwhile, she could sleep with Elizabeth since they seem close already."

"Can she father?" Elizabeth asks, puckering her lips.

The king shrugs, bouncing his daughter up in his arms enjoying her contagious giggles and laughs. "I don't see why not, what do you think girls?"

Margret quietly agrees.

"As long as Veronica and Elizabeth agree I'm ok with it." She looks over at Veronica and gently elbows her, she yelps in response. "Uh, yeah! A-Another girl here will be fun." Even though she is a poopy pants.'

"What's a sleepover?"

Meliodas looks at Jol, shocked. "You never heard of a sleepover?"

"Elizabeth is my first friend ever, other then the animals near our home, I don't really see a lot of humans." Jol answers in a sad tone.

"Hey, why did you say human like it's a bad thing? Aren't you a human too?" Ban comments, pinching her cheeks. Jol whines, shaking him off and put her little hands in her brown cheeks, squishing them. "No, momma says I'm a flower!"

"A flower?" Margret asks.

"Yeah! Momma says I'm a gift from the goddesses and Scared Holy Trwee in the Fairy King's Forest." Ban flinches at that name, along with the king and Ban. Jol continues, "That's all Momma will tell me, but soon I'll find the twuth, and then I'll figure stuffy out!" After the little dew drop said her encouraging statement, she let out a cute yawn letting her head drop on Meliodas shoulder. "I'm tired...." Elizabeth soon yawns after her, snuggling into her father's chest. "Me too..."

The king looks at his tired daughters with gentle eyes. "You've been playing a bit, I guess a nap is in order."

Veronica stomps her feet, stubbornly. "B-But, I'm not tired father!"
