It was a dark, starry night as Lioness ballroom was filled with the most extravagant people in all of Britannia. Everyone was laughing and spreading their wealth around, unaware of the fuming third princess that tried to hide in the shadows. "Why do I have to be here, I have work tonight! I don't care if Sir Meliodas gave me a day off to attend this stupid ball, I want to go to my real home." Elizabeth ranted to her oldest sisters, Margaret and Veronica. "Well, maybe if you didn't sneak out last night when we were all under attack, maybe you will have a little more freedom." Margaret tried to say nicely, but was slowly giving up as they have gone over this thousands and thousands of times.

"Why don't you go try and find a suitable sutor? After all, you are going to inherit the crown." Veronica says with ease. At that moment, it was like Elizabeth's world froze, she was going to be queen? "What do you mean, Margaret is taking the crown." Elizabeth says wearily as she gotten ready to do something, anything. "No, I am going to marry Gilthunder so I cannot accept the crown. And Veronica is going to be a holy Knight, so father has chosen you to be queen. He even set this ball up for you to choose a suitable sutor that would be to your likings. Isn't that wonderful?" Margaret all but sighs as she and Veronica finally made their way to their fiances and father.

'So that is the game you want to play, then so be it. Game on.' Elizabeth thought in fury as she made her way up to the stage. She just stood there, looking out into the crowd as she watched everyone ignore her, visibly disgusted that she was even around people like them. Her gaze went to the windows as she checked the sky, clear blue with stars scattering the dark, velvet looking night sky. 'Good, I'm going to need that if I'm going to signal them. Hopefully Meliodas could get here soon before I snap fully.' She thought as she took a few deep breaths before facing the large, obnoxious crowd.

She took one more deep breath before raising her voice, gaining the attention of all of the people in the ballroom. "I would like to thank everyone for coming here today for me to choose a suitable sutor. And I am so happy to let everyone know, that I am already married and have kids. But I would also like to sing everyone a song, a song that is very close to me and a song that I wrote myself. I hope you enjoy everything about the performance I am about to show you." Elizabeth finished her little speech, trying not to laugh at all of the shock faces of the women, the disappointed faces of the men, and the fear that spread across Bartra's face. 'Good, he should be afraid. After all, you should never turn against the Demon Queen.'

She closed her eyes and brought forth some of her powers to create the music for the background, happiness shining brightly as she stole a glance a her so called family. All of the candle lights started to flicker, just like Elizabeth's emerald green dress she chose to wear that night.


She lives in the shadow of a lonely girl
Voice so quiet you don't hear a word,
Always talking but she can't be heard,

Everyone froze as they heard a faint demonic voice criss crossing the 'innocent girl'.


You can see there if you catch her eye,
I know she's brave but it's trapped inside,
Scared to talk but she don't know why,

All of a sudden her appearance turned into a woman with silver hair wearing a black crown made of Purgatory fire. Before changing back into her emerald dress.


Wish I knew back then
What I know now.
Wish I could somehow
Go back in time and maybe listen to my own advice.

Black wings appeared onto her back and stayed there.


I'd tell her to speak up, tell her to shout out,
Talk a bit louder, be a bit prouder,
Tell her she's beautiful, wonderful,
Everything she doesn't see,

Her arms was suddenly covered in inky black substance, turning into claws.


You gotta speak up, you gotta shout out,
And know that right here, right now,
You can be beautiful, wonderful,
Anything you wanna be,

She gave everyone a fear-chilling grin, showing her canine-like teeth.


Little me

Yeah, you got a lot of time to act your age,
You can't write a book from a single page,
Hands on the clock only turn one way,


Run too fast and you'll risk it all,
Can't be afraid to take a fall,
Felt so big but she looks so small,

Wish I knew back then
What I know now.
Wish I could somehow
Go back in time and maybe listen to my own advice.

I'd tell her to speak up, tell her to shout out,
Talk a bit louder, be a bit prouder,
Tell her she's beautiful, wonderful,
Everything she doesn't see.

Her dress changed into a black ball gown as a black crown adorn her head.

You gotta speak up, you gotta shout out,
And know that right here, right now,
You can be beautiful, wonderful,
Anything you wanna be, oh,
Little me

Little me, yeah

Tell you one thing I would say to her

I'd tell her to speak up, tell her to shout out,
Talk a bit louder, be a bit prouder,
Tell her she's beautiful, wonderful,
Everything she doesn't see.

You gotta speak up, you gotta shout out,
And know that right here, right now,
You can be beautiful, wonderful,
Anything you wanna be,
Little me

I'd tell her to speak up, tell her to shout out,
Talk a bit louder, be a bit prouder,
Tell her she's beautiful, wonderful,
Everything she doesn't see.

You gotta speak up, you gotta shout out,
And know that right here, right now,
You can be beautiful, wonderful,
Anything you wanna be,

I'd tell her to speak up, tell her to shout out,
Talk a bit louder, be a bit prouder,
Tell her she's beautiful, wonderful,
Everything she doesn't see.

A black opal ring appeared on her wedding finger.


You gotta speak up, you gotta shout out,
And know that right here, right now,
You can be beautiful, wonderful,
Anything you wanna be,

Little me

Elizabeth turned and flew to the window, before turning back, leaving one sentence that made everyone fear her even more. "Don't mess with the Demon Queen again."
