Ahmya fiddled with her fingers ending her link with Duke. After Duke got over his shock of seeing in her a weird all white goddess assassin looking form/outfit (his words minus a few in a dialect she didn't understand) told her that Daniel was still in the forest and never left. 

"Fanfreakintastic," she mumbled.

She looked passed all the giant, fairies and humans to the Light of Grace, maybe if she snuck in she might find him... Shaking her head she headed to where Drole and Gloxinia were.

She watched a few giants run away from their King as she neared Gloxinia.

"Hey hey hey," King smiled at his friend and greeted her back. He recalled something he overheard the day before.

"So about who you mentioned earlier...Kirito,"

"My husband thinks I'm in some remote cult village being served tea," she shamefully giggled before she was hovering crossed-legged.

"Hopefully that child of ours won't dig to deep into it," King got the message and turned around for her to play with his hair.

Hundreds of questions swarmed King's mind. Ahmya was married and had a child. She was also lying to them about fighting in this war.

But why...

"Why," he turned around. "Why lie?"

The  disheartened look appeared left just as quick as it appeared before there was a miniature smile.

"Hell and Heaven don't interfere with such... inferior wars, they'll let it play out. Dear old dad refused to help the demon clan and allowed me and Kiri to choose, we chose to stay out of it," he nodded his head understanding so far.

"That's when I asked Meliodas to help Elizabeth and then he joined Stigma, not what I had in mind but we support Elizabeth, if Kirito finds out that I've been helping, who knows what he'll do. He's loyalty lies to me and the demon clan I don't want him to fight people he cares for, especially Lio, but I'll fight for Elizabeth she wants peace and accepts demons as equals, that's why I love her, " there was distant look in her eye King noticed.

"But I will not hesitate to kill anyone I see fit, it's how I was raised and as soft as I am I will stay true to that,"

"3000 years and you didn't change..."

Ignoring the peculiar statement, Ahmya let the King talk to his sister, standing off to the side to watch the clouds. She closed her eyes and let herself drift but kept her magic in not wanting to startle any unprepared soul.

***

Ahmya entered the room bowing on one knee to her father who was sending her the 'I know' look. Ahmya had come for one reason, she had to tell her father the truth, face-to-face. Standing up.

"My King I ask permission for Daniel and myself to take a furlough from the kin,"

***

It kinda went downhill from there for them. The kin, Taro, Shane and Duke where ordered to protect villages under Satan's protection while Daniel and Ahmya helped Elizabeth and Meliodas.

Of course, they were all hiding this fact from Kirito, who turned himself into a housewife and Akari who was learning how to be a normal human girl in a normal-ish human-ish village instead of learning how to be a demon warlord in hell.

Deep tranquillizing breaths.

She took a deep breath before her ear twitched catching the conversation of Gloxinia and and his sister. She straightened up and looked at the fairy with the intent to kill.
