The dark throne

Chapter 10

Third person POV-

"So what now?" Elizabeth asked.

She was leaning up against meliodas, who was cuddling her while leaning his back against the frame of his bed.

"Mmmm" Meliodas hummed and kissed the top of her head.
He hadn't even heard her question.

Elizabeth blushed from the sweet act, but continued to push.
"Meliodas..what is this gonna lead to?"

"Whatever you want it to lead to.." he said calmly.
The last thing he wanted was to push her into doing something she was uncomfortable with.

"...I-..I want to be with you.." she said and rotated her body so that she could wrap her arms around him.
"But how? We're both the rulers of our respected territory..."

Meliodas thought about Elizabeth's words.
"I could retire from the throne?"

"Don't be silly, you can't do that..."

Meliodas then had a flashback to 300 years ago when he betrayed his family and entire race just to be with the goddess Elizabeth.
"Oh yes I can"

"Meliodas..." Elizabeth scolded.
She thought he was kidding with her.

"Elizabeth...ask me for anything..I won't deny you anything" Meliodas said sweetly and kissed her square on the lips again.

Once again Elizabeth's hands sought refuge in his wild hair, his hands however landed on her waist, and she made a little yelp from the contact there, causing Meliodas to chuckle into the kiss.

"You don't make sense to me" Elizabeth says when they parted, causing Meliodas to humorously raise an eyebrow.
"How can you say all that...and how can I like you so much, when we've only known each other for such a short amount of time?" Elizabeth continued.

"You're still taking about that?"

"How can I not? What we're doing right now...it's against everything I've ever been taught"

'Once again, another perfect fit between you and your past life' Meliodas thought.

"Does that makes it wrong?"

"...I don't know...it-it doesn't feel wrong" she whispered and snuggled into him.

"Then that's all we need to know"

Elizabeth thought about what to say to that, but she ended up just nodding.

They stayed like that for a while, just wrapped in each other's arms.

Meliodas finally felt whole again, but he was somewhat guilty...
If he ended up having to leave her again, it would break her heart. He knew that.
'I'll just have to find a way to stay with her forever'

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoO

After laying together for what felt like hours Elizabeth had fallen asleep for a short while.
So when she woke up she glanced out of the window to see how late it had gotten.

The sun had set.

"Ah! I- I should get going, my sisters are probably wondering where I am" She squealed and immediately sprung up to straighten her hair and her dress, all the whole meliodas looked on I bafflement.

"Yeah, okay"

"I'm sorry it's just-" She said, quickly getting frustrated, after all it's not like she could openly tell her sisters where she had been. They had already made it clear that they thought that Meliodas wasn't the one for her.

She then paused, thinking it over.
'The one? When did I draw that conclusion?'

She shook her head trying to escape those confusing thoughts. Then she caught her reflection in the body mirror standing in the corner of the room.
Her hair was a mess and so she quickly walked over to the mirror to try and fix it.
