The dark throne

Chapter 5

Third person POV-

"E..liza...Beth?" Meliodas stammered.

His hearts were pounding loud enough that he was scared she'd hear.

'How? How can she-' he found himself thinking but quickly stopped.

'This is only a cruel coincidence' he tried to tell himself...but something deep within him told him otherwise.

"That's me" Elizabeth giggled, not having a clue of the inner battle the man before her was fighting.

'Merlin...she must've known' Meliodas though angrily.

"I'm sorry for asking you to come here, it's just because...well you're the very first demon I've ever met. I guess I was just a bit curious" she says a tiny bit embarrassed.
She really hadn't expected the king of the demons to be a short blonde boy.

He didn't look like her sister Veronica had told her demons looked when she was a child.

"Oh uh, I see...no wonder, we demons kinda retracted into the demon realm after the War" Meliodas said trying his upmost to act normal.
It was just too much...
He really needed to punch something, and then go into his room and have a panic attack..

"How is the demon realm like?" Elizabeth said, overly curious, she didn't even notice how eager she was getting herself.

"Hmmm, red...the ground is red and there didn't grow many plants" he started explaining solemnly, but then a smile crept onto his face..."but in recent years it's gotten better, it's still not like Britannia at all, but you can find fields of black and purple flowers that'll only grow in the demon realm. In the demon realm it's always night too, but it's not like a scary night...the sky is beautiful...I'll admit it's not perfect, but it's home"

"It doesn't have to be perfect to be amazing" Elizabeth said with a kind smile.
She enjoyed his interpretation of his home.
If at all possible she'd like to see it one day.

"That's a good way to see things" Meliodas nodded.

"I think I want to get to know you a little better, so...do you wanna take a walk with me?" Elizabeth asked shyly.

She was already good friends with some of the if the other guests, such as the fairy king, the giant queen, and the king of Castellio.

"Oh yeah..I'd like that" meliodas smiled.
He was loosing his inner battle, not being able to see her as anybody other than his Elizabeth.
He knew it was wrong, but seriously, how could he not?
From what he'd observed till now they were identical, in looks and personality.

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoO

"My older sisters Veronica would always tell me horror stories about the demon clan, about these creatures as big as mountains, and others with teeth sharp enough to bite you in half like you were a twig" Elizabeth told Meliodas, after all now that she'd met him she believed that was just false rumors.

"Oh yeah we've got those"

"Huh?!"

"The lower demons are like that, well not Exactly as big as mountains, I think that's a reference to albions, giant Gollums that the demon clan weaponized during the war.
We don't make them anymore"
