The Demons Wife [Meliodas]

028

Y/N's P.O.V

Gilthunder has sliced off Henderickson's arm as he shields us from the grandmaster, "Gilthunder... You traitor!!" Henderickson yells. 

"I'm no traitor. I was never on your side, to begin with," Gilthunder says glaring at Henderickson. 

"YOU!" Henderickson attacks Gil, but Gil recounters it quickly sending Henderickson backwards.

"Meliodas, Y/N. Please, leave the rest to me. You both have no idea... How eagerly I've awaited this these past ten years," Gil says and we both nod letting Gil take over. 

Meli looks at me before rubbing his face and stands up. He looks down at me and helps me up, "You okay honey?" He asks and I nod, "You always were soft," He chuckles and I look down only for him to kiss my head. 

The mage turns to us, "Why?! How long did you know about this?!" She asks.

"You mean about Little Gil?" Meli asks and looks up a little, "When we were reunited in the Forest of White Dreams," Meli looks at Margaret, "I just realised it was Margaret," He holds his hand out to her, she takes his hand and stands up, "Little Gil is not the kind of guy who'd abandon justice to save his own ass. Right, Margaret?" Meli says.

"Meliodas," She allows tears to fall, "I don't know... What to say... For saving him... For saving Gill..." Margaret says.

"Answer me! How did you know we were keeping her captive?!" The mage says.

Meli rolls his eyes and I turn to her, "I'll tell ya, 'Your eyes will judge the wicked. Your mouth will speak the truth. Your heart will be filled with justice. And your sword will crush all evil. I haven't forgotten the Knights Creed since the first day I heard it," I tell her, "Gil just said that earlier."

"So what? It's just the instructions to the Knights!" The mage says getting frustrated.

"But it's something else for Gil," I giggle, "It's a code between the three of us, something we told him to tell us when he or someone was in danger or unable to do something due to being stopped," I looked at Meli who nods. 

"When he recited that incantation in the Forest of White Dreams, I figured it all out. I knew that somebody had been taken captive," Meli says. 

"You're lying about knowing this whole time! You two were battling to the death!"

"Little Gil put his life on the line for the woman he loves. Putting my life on the line, was my way of being a good buddy," Meli looks at me tucking some hair behind my ear, "And, I knew if it was the other way round... He'd do the same for me." 

Meli and I jump out of the way, when Gil and Henderickson get close and the two battle it out a little more till their battle ended, and just Gil, Margaret, Meli and I were standing together. 

"Sup?" Meli says looking at Diane and King. 

I turn around looking at them, I feel my legs shake a little but I force myself up. 

"C...Captain, Y/N, Gilthunder, Princess Margaret? What happened here?" King asks.

Diane picks Meli up, "WAAAA! Captain, you're a mess!" She says.

"I'll explain later, for now... We have to rescue Elizabeth!" Meli says.

Diane puts Meli down and I start zoning out till our environment keeps changing and the mage yells. 

Arthur's mage appears behind her, "So it was you... It was you!! How dare you pull that stunt... and humiliate me! You unslightly mage!! I'll mop the floor with you!" The mage attacks the covered mage.
