My Sweet Gluttony

What. Have. I. Done.

They're all dead, every last one. Ahh but let me explain. I am The Lion Sin of Pride, Escanor of the Seven Deadly Sins. We are a group of knights sworn to protect the kingdom of Liones. Not hours ago we returned from our mission to kill the troll queen, and upon returning we were called to the King's chamber. Some of the Sins thought we would be reprimanded because we destroyed the Druid gardens while fighting, while others thought we'd be rewarded for a job well done. I didn't know what to think, and no one expected what happened next. When we entered the King's chamber, he was not there. The only being to be found was Sir Zaratras, bloody and beaten with dozens of weapons impaling him. We all knew that the death of the Holy Knight Grandmaster meant that someone was going after the king next, but as we left to report the crime, we discovered we were surrounded by every holy knight in the land. We were being framed for the murder of a close friend. This drove the captain into a rage I had never seen and hope to never see again, and we agreed once we escaped, the sins would go their separate ways, until the day we could clear our names of treason. It was not long afternoon so I couldn't hold back, the others were fighting to flee, but the captain and I fought with everything we had. We killed every single knight before they even realized the fight had begun. It was a true massacre, one I suspect shall haunt my thoughts at night, yet only fuel my pride under the rising sun. Tis the curse of the monster who both despises and loves himself above almost all else, with the only brightness in my dark life being Fair Lady Merlin, who I'm now forced to part ways with. I hope we shall reunite soon, yet I suspect it will be quite a long time before we can clear our names. No matter how much we fight it, we all atone for our sins someday, and my suffering is never knowing if I'll see Lady Merlin again.
