You are still Zeldris. No one stops you on the way to the palace. Strange.
A blinding light. Estarossa's face floats in the air. Some kind of royal announcement. You breathe a sigh of relief. If Estarossa is announcing something, then he isn't torturing y/n.
The relief doesn't last long.
"Fellow demons," Estarossa says, "the royal family wishes to extend an invitation to watch the execution of the human who has so selfishly chosen to keep Prince Zeldris trapped on Earth. Come to the palace to watch as she receives her just punishment."
The floating head disappears. Your fists are clenched so tightly that your knuckles have turned white. Darkness sparks around you again. You look back at your comrades as you manipulate the darkness into a set of wings. They nod.
You take off. The palace is in sight. The rest of your team follows behind you. A flash of gold armour up ahead. Escanor must have arrived early. And who's that behind him?
It appears he's called in the cavalry.
Maybe this isn't as hopeless as you thought it was.
As you approach, you realize your father had been prepared for such an attack. Red and Gray demons scramble up the sides of the building to get outside and face their foes. Escanor and the gods and goddesses intent on helping y/n ready their weapons. You draw your sword as a scream rings out from within the palace.
Y/n.
You land. A battle rages around you. You shout for Monspeet and Galand to control the crowds and get the civilians as far away as possible. Merlin offers to assist with her teleportation abilities. You nod. Gowther joins the ranks. Good.
Where's y/n?
You can barely see through the smoke.
You land and cleave a few low-ranking warriors in half.
Where is she?
There.
On the dais near your father's throne.
She's naked and tied to a stone slab, which reminds you of how you found her the night you met. Except the night you met her she wasn't covered in cuts and bruises. The night you met you were ready to leave as quickly as possible. Scare her into a "no" and leave. Easy. Or so you thought. Now, you still want to leave as quickly as possible but you want to leave with y/n in your arms so you can take her somewhere safe.
