Y/n's P.O.V
Finally a day of peacefulness, honestly the fighting was beginning to make me upset. I want to continue traveling with everyone without having to worry about anything. Now that we found a fifth sin we have a bette5 chance at saving Liones! Well if Gowther even agrees to it.
"It's nice to meet you Sir Gowther! I am the 3rd princess of Liones. Will you consider joining our cause to save Liones from the holy knights?" Elizabeth asked politely and as usual Gowther looked like he had no emotion. I wonder how and why he's like that.
"No." Gowther suddenly spoke and it shocked the other sins but them he continued speaking about this wasn't his first time meeting Elizabeth.
"Oh that's right! She was always around the king!" Ban chuckled as he began drinking more of his ale, and it's pretty funny when he gets drunk. I wonder what Meliodas and Cain Barzad are talking about?
"Y/n you alright?" Hawk asked calmly as I kept looking at the bar. Meliodas and Cain were on the other side...
"I'm fine, listen...I'll be back!" I quickly made my way over there but kept myself hidden so they wouldn't see I was listening in.
"Meliodas are you projecting N/n onto
Y/n?" I heard Cain ask Meliodas but he stayed quiet...was it true then? All this time...was I just a replacement? No...this has to be a misunderstanding.
"Anyways...goodbye Meliodas!" I made my way back to the others right as Elizabeth began to bring food outside for everyone to eat. Meliodas isn't an evil person...he's kind.
"Yo Y/n~! Sit next to me!" Meliodas whined as he sat down to begin drinking a lot of ale like Ban. I want to forget what I heard earlier...even if it's for a little while.
"Don't get drunk okay? It'll be a hassle if you do!" A smile returned to my lips as I talked with Meliodas who agreed with not drinking too much.  I love how considerate he can be...Being so close to him...I felt true happiness.
"Hey Gowther! Ten years ago when we were framed for trying to overthrow Liones I was wondering if you-" Meliodas had gasped when Gowther used his power on his neck, perhaps to read his memories of that event?
"I know what you want to ask...the one who knocked you unconscious was the boar sin of gluttony Merlin." I wonder what was her reason for doing that to Meliodas...they're comrades so it had to be important for her to do such a thing like that.
"Hey guys! Gowther recognized King by his body oder!!" Ban shouted drunkenly and despite that he kept drinking. I wonder how Elaine ever put up with him, he's definitely a handful.
"Along with bone structure and tone." Gowther added and sure enough everyone but Meliodas and I begun to smell King. Poor guy!
"Y/n can you please go make me some food? I feel bad asking but the others barely left me any and I hate my cooking!" I nodded to Meliodas' request and began walking into the bar. It was actually good for me because now I can think about what happened before.
'Meliodas are you projecting N/n onto Y/n?' Cain Barzad's words...I can't get them out of my head. Why is it bothering me this much? I know I'm jealous but...I also feel hurt.
"I should hurry up with the food.." I mutter softly to myself as I quickly made some food for Meliodas then walked out of the bar...and Gowther kept staring at me.
"Is Y/n angry with the captain even if she loves him?" Gowther blurted out and my eyes widened in shock. How did he know that just by looking at me?
"W-What are you talking about?" I stuttered out as I carefully handed Meliodas his food and he didn't stop looking into my eyes with a curious gaze. I don't think I can even get the courage to tell him what's wrong with me...would he even tell me about his time with N/n?
"Y/n's heart rate accelerates around the Captain and despite that she's angry at him for some reason. She feels guilty about i-"
"Stop Gowther!" I blurted out and tried to walk away but Meliodas held onto my hand...he wanted me to be there by his side.
"Let's talk~ Why are you angry at me? I wanna know what I did wrong so I can fix it." Meliodas continued to smile even if I can tell he's feeling guilty. I can see it in his eyes...
"Before that um...I was wondering what kind of person N/n was. Liz as well..." I mutter softly to him so the others wouldn't hear our discussion.
"N/n was more like a tsundere than you are so we'd fight alot. Liz was the complete opposite of Elizabeth, really strong willed so I'd end up fighting with her too. The one thing you both have in common with them is that you're both strong." Meliodas smiled even more as he pushed his food away to put his sword in front of us.
'It's not that N/n wanted you to fight! She wanted you to live!!' That's right...I told him that yesterday. That's what I felt when I held the sword that day...
"Really I am?"
"And~ You both had big breasts!" As always Meliodas began groping my breasts. That damn pervert...!
"Tell me is that some sort of greeting?"
"For perverts!"
Once we finished celebrating finding another sin we all went into the bar to plan our next move. Why do they need me and Meliodas' sword...?
"The sword they took was one of the objects used to sealing away the demon clan." Meliodas spoke firmly as he begun telling us more of why the goddesses sealed the demons away. Even so...not all demons are bad. Same for the goddesses, not all of them have good intentions.
"Why would Hendrickson and Dreyfus want to resurrect the demon clan in the first place?" Elizabeth questioned and I thought about the true reason for that. It couldn't be something silly...maybe a war?
"A sign!! I think I'm getting a sign!!" Hawk suddenly shouted and I immediately ran to him as I used some of my magic that gained back in Vaizel.
"Is this helping at all Hawk!?" I shouted and he slowly nodded but kept gasping in pain.
"Why would they want Elizabeth too though?"
"It's simple~ She's our back up in case Y/n won't cooperate. Y/n is the last key to breaking the seal!" Once I immediately turned to look behind me I saw a mage!
"Get away from Y/n!!!!" Meliodas screamed as he tried running towards me but it was too late...the mage took me away. I shouldn't be scared...I know that Meliodas will come for me. He promised me after all...!
