The dark throne

Chapter 16

Third person POV-

-5 months later-
(SORRY)

After months of suppression Elizabeth had managed to escape the kingdom she once viewed as her home, and she still did, but not the way it was right now, run over by demons.

She had affectively been thrown off the thrown and then thrown in prison along with everyone else of the royal family.

It was incredible what plans the human mind can come up with after months in isolation as Elizabeth had experienced.

She knew they couldn't afford for her to die for some reason, and she would use that to her advantage, but she had to be patient, so she laid down on the ground, not her bed, in her dirty cell.
A guard would do a check routine in about an hour, and Elizabeth was fairly sure she could fool this particular stupid guard into thinking that she was either passed out or dead. Really it would be no wonder if she was either when you look at what they had been feeding her.

When the guard noticed her on the ground and couldn't get in contact with her he freaked out and immediately opened the cell door to go in and inspect her.
Seeing this as her only chance Elizabeth immediately got up, roundhouse kicked the demon in the face making him fall up against the wall, then she stole his keys, ran outside and locked him in the cell.

The hard part was far from over though, as she now had to find a way to get out of the kingdom and find help.

She knew that the demons had taken control of everything and everyone, even the formerly honorable knights, but that also meant that there was still humans walking around in full sets of armor.

Knowing this Elizabeth quickly dressed up in one of the armors standing did decoration in one of the halls. It was heavy and would no doubt do no good for her fatigue which was already low due to her new diet of mostly moldy bread and and water.

After escaping from the castle grounds it was easier to get out than she had first expected.
She merely threw herself in a cart of hay and hid until she was out.

Those series of events are the reason Elizabeth is now walking around in the wilderness.

She knew who she wanted to find. Meliodas.
since he was the demon king he would probably be able to help her with her demon problems back in Liones.
But she had no idea how to find a portal to the demon realm...that is until she spotted a gray demon in a forest nearby.

Elizabeth was starved, dehydrated and tired beyond compare, which might partially be the armors fault.

'If a demon is here...that means that a portal must be close' Elizabeth thought, remembering that Meliodas told her that due to the demon clan practically going into hiding they never ventured too far from the portals.
But she was too scared to approach the demon as her fear for demons had definitely spiked after being treated so horribly by them when they took over Liones. So she just made sure to watch the demon while being hidden in the thicket, then she would follow it back to the portal when it went there.

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoO

Hours went by as the demon was out seemingly collecting berries and other food from the surrounding forest, as good like that didn't grow in the demon realm.
Elizabeth was still hiding in the wide thicket, making sure to never every her eyes from the demon.

Then finally it seemed like the demon was done, but it still didn't make a move to walk on a certain direction. Instead it slowly glanced around it to see if anyone or anything was around, then when it confirmed it was alone it grasped the amulet it had around its neck.
