The dark throne

Chapter 6

Meliodas's POV-

Going inside I then closed the doors behind my, not turning around.

My grin quickly turned to a glare directed at the woman sitting by a wooden desk twirling a feather pen around in her hand.

"Do you realize how angry I am with you?" I asked Merlin my voice under control since I didn't now if Veronica had left yet.

"I've got an idea of it, yes" she said, still not turning to me.

"What do you know?...how is this possible"

"What else..?" She said, finally turning to me.

Did she expect me to figure this out myself?!
Nuh-uh! No way!

My frown deepened and I felt the demon mark on my face grow ever slightly.

"Ugh fine...the answer is obviously reincarnation" she says rolling her eyes.

In a split second every ounce of strength I had in my body left, my eyes turned back to green, my demon mark disappeared and so did my cloak made of darkness, I nearly even stumbled to the ground.

So...in a sense... she was my Elizabeth...

My eyes watered, but I refused to cry...I hated crying...

"How did-"

Merlin quickly cut me off, apparently knowing what I was gonna ask.
"I don't know...it could be anything truly...A second chance gifted by the goddesses? or a coincidence?"

"Not the first one...no way... if my father hadn't killed her back then I'm sure the supreme deity would've..." I said, shocking myself by how I was suddenly able to speak so openly about the subject.
That day is something I'd rather not speak about most of the time, and when I do let something slip it's very very very minor.

"The arch-angels have the power to grant reincarnation...Mael perhaps? He was in love with her you k-"

"Yes I know! He never failed to mention that after her death, and that I was the reason she died! How she would've been better off being with him!" I said, going on a mini rant.

"Calm your breathing...In, count to 5..hold...and then out" she said.

I started regulating my breathing just as she instructed, and it quickly helped.

"I know, Mael can be a jackass, but he can also be a sir Pringle kind, and good man. A guy who'd do this" she still stood up for her theory, and she was right, it was likely that is exacly what happened.
But she misunderstood...this wasn't some kind of experiment, or a grand puzzle...none of this mattered.
All that mattered was that Elizabeth had in some way found her way back into our life's.

"Listen, everyone here will officially meet tonight...I know this is big, and I'm not telling you to avoid her, but keep yourself focused. We don't Exactly want to draw too much attention" she reminded me, and as an answer I nodded

I was about to go around to leave.

"Wait we aren't done here!" I shouted, remembering my anger.
"Why didn't you tell me!?"

"Oh well, I suppose it was too much to wish for that you'd just let sleeping dragons lay" she sighed.

Her and her philosophy...

"You and I both know that you wouldn't have come here if you knew...you love her to bits, and that's why you'd rather not be a part of her life anymore...Dud Mael's words really get to you that much?"
