"Meliodas! What are you doing here?" I scold as I get up from my throne and walk towards him, the commandments staying behind me.

His gaze never left me, "I'm tired of never being with you. It's been one thousand years since we've spent any time together, and we still never seem to catch a break! I'm tired of this!" He signals to the commandments and my crown. "I'm tired of fighting a war not worth fighting!"

A small smirk appeared on my face as I threw off my crown, "I couldn't agree more, darling. But I am afraid there are a few things we need to take care of." I turn around to the commandments. "And don't tell me you imbeciles don't agree! All of us are tired and I'm sure many of you would like to settle down! For Demon's blood stop acting like sad fuckers and stop living in Meliodas's fathers shadow. You no longer follow him! You follow me!"

I place my hand out and a red glow shines on everyone, "As the Demon Queen, I release you from this eternal prison, to live your life the way you wish, to forget your criminal past and restart your future." The glow disappears, breaking the contract that sold their souls, finally returning them. "Now leave this place and never return. I'm finished here. This three thousand year war is over! The demon race is free and will no longer torture the souls of other races."

"M'lady are you sure?" Zeldris asks for the group. "You want us... to live... freely?"

"Yes, Zeldris! I can't believe you find that so hard to believe." I chuckle softly. "Now get out of here. I don't want to see your faces for at least another thousand years!" I laughed again.

The now free and good commandments vanished to where ever their desires took them. I turned to Meliodas, "You know that you are the best wife a guy could ask for?"

I hugged him softly, "I know, honey, I know."

"You're lucky I didn't kill those guys. I thought they would defy you!" Meliodas growls.

I chuckled, "Calm down, my love. They always wanted to be free. I remember asking them after your father died. And they were honest with me, this was my plan all along I just didn't realize it would come so soon. Thank you for the push, Meliodas." I pecked his lips and he returned it.

"I know you probably will hate me for this, but we need to return to the Boar Hat. You need to explain everything to everyone and I think it's time I tell them..." Meliodas looks down.

I held his face in my palm and made him look at me, "Whenever you are ready to tell them. I'll always have your back." He smiled and kissed me again.

He sighing and smiled at me, reaching his hand out to me, "Well, Liz... you ready to go?" He smiled giving me his signature grin.

I gripped his hand and smiled, "As ready as I'll ever be." And we jumped through the portal together, back to the ever so lovely tavern, the Boar Hat.

We landed softly on the bed to my surprise which I'm sure Meliodas was trying to imply something, but I'm not in the mood.

That little perverted man.
