'They haven't figured it out..have they?'

I gulped. A hard, wide gulp that was clearly visible through my thin neck.

I sighed and tucked a strand of my h/c hair behind my ear, confused and still wondering to if Merlin had mentioned my name or looks to the sins, or if they were just merely remembering me from the kings' mentions before.. did they think of me as a traitor too? Or merely a comrade in arms? Or just a fighter looking out for them? Either way.. I wasn't prepared for anything that was about to come my way..

"LET THE FIGHT, BEGIN!"

And with that, both contesters charged at each other.  King, without his weapons. And the old man, with his dignity and booze in the air.

"I won't let this stop me!"
King cried, charging at the man with his guards up, hoping to land an attack: he blocked, vigorously countering his weak muscles, and punched me on the top of his head.

Well it wasn't exactly a punch.. more of a, bonk.

King fell to the ground, sweat-dropping in disbelief.

The host declared the winner; and with no surprise I wasn't king. He trudged back over to us, frown covering his whole face.
"Sorry captain.."

I pouted and watched them compromise with each other over literally nothing.

"Hey..old Uhm fart?"

He flinched at the name.
"M-my name is actually k- Uhm..harlequin.."

I nodded; though I was positive his name was king..

"Well uhm, harlequin?"
"Yes?"
"You're going to be fine. It was a good match.. I guess"

He scoffed, before looking up at me; still on his pillow.

I looked down onto the green material.
"Oh- do you want it back?"

"No it's fine don't worry!"

And after a long conversation with harlequin, and lots of side glances from ban, Diane and meliodas, The next contesters we're finally announced.

"And the next contesters are.. Baaan and Meliodith!!"

Both meliodas and ban entered into the platform. They faced eachother, pride smothered their faces.

"Capta - I mean Meliodith- go get em!"
Diane cried

"Hey ban! If you screw up and lose I'm gonna tell Elainee~!"
King shouted

I looked at ban.

Who is Elaine?

Just as if he knew I was glancing, he turned to face me. His usually cold, still face staring back at me.

"Oh that's right"

My attention turned to Diane.

"You can cheer too Elizabeth"

Diane took off her navy blue bow she had above her breasts, and revealed a tiny.. naked.. girl, with silky blue hair.

Diane and Elizabeth caught me looking.

"Hey watch it!"
Diane pleaded

"O-oh  I'm sorry!"

A slight warmth spread across my face, I glanced back at Elizabeth. She was pouting softly; looking up at me with the same warmth that was on both mine and Diane's faces too.

I looked away, back to the fight that was going to come.

Pent-up feelings that became a rioting chaos, for the Vaizal fighting festival.
