Out of The Vale - A Meliodas x OC/Reader Fanfiction

Chapter 7 - The Eleven Commandments

A/N: So sorry for taking long to update. I had some
personal things I needed to deal with. Also, I got many comments about Merlin being a demon or not and such, I wanted to clarify that in MY version she will be a demon for relationship reasons, but she doesn't exactly have a demon side. It's kind of complex but you will learn later on in the story. Thanks for the love <3

"It seems you all know your place now." I commented on their lack of respect earlier.

Zeldris stepped forward with a smirk, "Only wanted to test your reflexes."

"You had a very funny way of showing it," I glared, "More respect should be in order, especially for how long I've been gone."

Zeldris only smiles, coming up behind her and hugging her over the shoulders, leaning his head in, "I apologize, Your Excellency. You see, while you've been gone, I've been keeping the place in order for you since my traitor brother isn't here to help and father being dead."

I push him off me, "And I am very thankful, but now that I am back, you all should show respect for your queen."

The other commandments follow, "Yes, Our Queen."

"Glad we are on the same page.... Anyways, on to more important matters. It seems the 7 Deadly Sins have found out that I am the Demon Queen... which landed me quite in a predicament, cutting my trip with Meliodas short. And.... I don't think they are very happy. Merlin looked pissed that I told them."

Estarossa decided to pitch in, "Well maybe you should watch your tongue then."

I launched a punch at him, sending him into the wall making a crater, "Maybe I'll cut yours off if you speak to me like that again. What did I say about respect, young man?"

He coughed and then laughed, "Damn Liz, I get it. No need to be so harsh."

I just scoffed, not wanting to deal with Estarossa. He's always been so fucking annoying. "None of you seem to understand that I took their memories away so it wouldn't have to be like this. But since I have them back, they are confused by the sudden change in my heart. As your queen, your opinions matter most to me, but when you decide to attack me with your words, it will be the end of you. Do I make myself clear?"

The room went quiet, "Yes, Your Excellency."

"Very good." I reply. "Anyways, I wish to retire for the night. Zeldris, accompany me to my chambers." I start to walk off in the direction of my bedroom, Zeldris quickly following me as the others disperse to their rooms for the night.

"Did you need something Liz?" Zeldris seemed concerned. Our relationship was quite funny as we hated yet loved each other due to our connection through Meliodas. We looked after each other for a long time during the many wars we fought together and I helped him cope with the loss of Meliodas in the Demon Realm. Though, Meliodas knows his duties, he keeps them out of the realm as he hates being here. But he has a duty.

Zeldris put a hand in my shoulder, "It's just hard loving someone so much. Having people I love. I have never felt loved back, so knowing love his so hard and tiring. I don't get it. I wish everything could go back to the way they were, but when your father found out... and Elizabeth... everything changed. I just miss him, but I can't see him because the sins all hate me now. They knew me but never knew who I truly was and what I was. Poor King and Ban too, I watched those boys grow up. But sadly they may never understand the life of being the most powerful demon alive; being a devil. I'm frustrated Zeldris."

"I may not care for such people, especially those who associate with my brother. But I understand your frustration. I apologize for what we did back in the Vale... we just wanted to test you. We never meant to hurt you in any way." Zeldris smiled at me.

I smiled back, "Nevermind that. A good test is always welcome. Thank you for your kindness. I ask a favor of you, to teach those other baboons to respect the queen now that she's back. We have many things to do. I have big plans."

Zeldris smirked as he got up, exiting my room, "And oh boy am I excited. Fun always follows you, Liz." He closed my doors and I heard his footsteps fade away.

The next day, I awoke fairly early. Cleaning myself and dressing in my demon armor. A red and black chest plate, fitting my body well and not too revealing, similar to the trousers I also where. My boots suitable for the occasion and easy to run in. My look was fairly simple compared to others.

My large cloak flew behind me as I strutted you the throne. I took a seat and waited for the commandments to enter the throne room.

A few moments later, everyone had finally arrive. I stared at them and waited for a moment, but they said and did nothing. So I decided to speak up, "What are you waiting for? Kneel before your queen."
