Recap

"OPEN UP!!"

3rd Person P.O.V.

"THERE WAS A NOTICE FROM THE VILLAGE PEOPLE!!! WE ARE THE KNIGHTS GARRISONED AT BASE OF THE MOUNTAIN WHO SERVE THE HOLY KIGHT HIMSELF! WE HAVE COME TO CAPTURE THE RUST KNIGHT WHO APPEARS TO BE ONE OF THE ''SEVEN DEADLY SINS''!!" said a loud voice of a man outside the tavern.

"There are 5 troublesome individuals outside the tavern." (Y/n) said removing the hand from Elizabeth's head and turning her head to the door.

"Holy knight..." whispered Elizabeth with worry evident in her voice. Meliodas glanced her way.

"COME OUT QUIETLY!! IF YOU DO SO, WE WON'T UNSHEATHE OUR SWORDS!! ALL RIIIIIGHT!!! THEN I'LL GIVE YOU 30 SECONDS!!!" the male yelled once again.

"Don't need it," Meliodas said coming out of the tavern.

"That was fast" the knight said surprised before once again yelling "AND WHO THE HELL ARE YOU!?"

"I'm the owner." Meliodas stoot back unfazed.

"WHERE'S THE RUST KNIGHT!? BRING HIM OUT!!"

"Come on out," Meliodas called.

"Hah! Looks like you're pretty quick to understand..." the guy seemed satisfied with the answer he got.

"I would appreciate it if you didn't assume my gender." a monotone voice was heard behind Meliodas. Out came (Y/n) adjusting the shoulder piece that was bothering her."Nice to meet you I am the rust knight." she said sticking out her armor gloved hand for the knight to shake.

"Th-this little girl is one of the ''Seven Deadly Sins''!?" one of the other knights said.

"Like hell she is!!" the first guy said clearly pissed. He then lifted both Meliodas and (Y/n) from the collar of their shirts and exclaimed. "YOU BRAAATS...!!YOU'VE GOT SOME GUTS, MOCKING A KNIGHT!!" As the knight was screaming at their faces one of his subordinates noticed the silverette (if that isn't a word, it is now) exiting from the back door and alerted his superior.

"That woman is probably the rust knight!! Follow her!!!" "YES!!" they yelled and run after Elizabeth.

"Why wouldn't they believe I was the rust knight? I am older than Elizabeth and analyzing our combat ability I am more suitable for the position." (Y/n) wondered, titling her head to the side.

"Don't mind that now, come on we have to help her." Meliodas told the girl as she was taking off the armor pieces. They both run in the direction of the blue-eyed girl along with Hawk. When Meliodas went and saved her (Y/n) stayed hidden among the trees. As she was analyzing her surrounding the ground started shaking and she saw the cliff on which her three new companions were standing falling. She rushed at the bottom to catch them. She caught Hawk and one of the knights that had fallen before them. (Y/n) noticed the man that had caused the land to give away standing a few meters away from them looking pissed.

"WHAT'RE YOU ALL DOING ALIVE!!? DON'T CHANGE MY CONFIRMED DEATH TOLL!!" he screamed.

"Don't confirm it on your own." was all Meliodas said. "hey...you awake...?" he whispered to Elizabeth who was resting in his arms. "Yes...I am." she said back. "(Y/n) when I say take her and run to the forest." he said turning to the (h/c)ed girl. She remained silent and gave him a firm nod.

"WELL IT SEEMS I'M IN LUCK...!!" the man suddenly exclaimed loudly "THE SYMBOL ON THAT EARRING IS THAT OF THE ROYAL FAMILY. WHICH MEANS YOU ARE...CONFIRMED!! PRINCESS ELIZABETH!!"

Elizabeth touched her earring in surprise. "Princess Elizabeth?" wondered Meliodas, all the while (Y/n) stayed silent. The knight kept talking but no one really paid attention to him. "We're going!!" Meliodas said giving the signal to the rest. The two girls started running in the direction of the forest.

"CONFIRMED ACCIDENTAL DEATH!!!" they heard behind them. Meliodas rushed to save Elizabeth while (Y/n) skidded to a stop, turned around, and cast her spell.

"Lösen Kein-Eintrag." A blue shield appeared out of nowhere and protected the trio and pig from the powerful blast. The red armored knight has stunned as he witnessed that his attack was blocked by the petite looking girl. He watched wondering what she was since her hood was blown off the head by the wind.

"UWAAAAAN!!MOMMAAA!!" He was snapped out of his trace by Hawk's wailes when the creature run past him to go to his mother.

"A pig...? Well, whatever." he said to no one in particular. As (Y/n) dissolved her spell she wasn't expecting to see Elizabeth walking past her and towards the knight.

"Elizabeth! Hey, where are you going?" Meliodas' voice could be heard from behind them.

"I want be able to get away," whispered Elizabeth laud enough for the two individuals to hear. "You...you said that there is no way you can give up...didn't you?" wondered the shorter blonde. "...If I surrender to him quietly, he shouldn't take your life for no reason." Concluded the young female, her back facing the pair. However, the knight didn't seem to agree with he didn't bat an eye and swang his sword down in their direction. Elizabeth was frozen in place not expecting the sudden action. Luckily Meliodas pulled her out of the way. As for (Y/n) she simply slipped a little to the right and was out of the attack's proximity. Elizabeth was now laying on the ground with Meliodas on top of her and burst out into tears. During the time the silver-haired girl was sobbing and crying out her feelings, the knight was advancing towards them. He wasn't able to reach them since a certain (e/c)ed girl cut his way(?). He raised his sword to strike her along with the princess and 'younger' male only for the blast to be reflected him the moment he heard a feminine voice say "Lösen Einsweg."

"(Y/n) you have done enough, let me handle the rest." Meliodas told the girl while patting her head. He stood before the two girls with his broken sword in hand.

"A child...!! Do you plan on fighting me with that trash...!?"

"Meliodas are you really that...?" Elizabeth trailed off.

"Meliodas...?W...wait I remember seeing your face before...No...If that's the case, why do you not look any different from before...!?" the knight said in disbelief. Meliodas simply put his hand in front of him in what seemed to be a defensive stance, still not breaking eye contact with the man in front of him.

"Have you figured out...who I am?" he questioned.

"It...it can't be!! Truly you are...YOU AAAAAAAAAREEE!!!!" he screamed while swinging his sword down at the shorter male only for his attack to be reflected back at him.

"Seven Deadly Sins-The Dragon's Sin Meliodas!!!"

The knight was blown away by the force of the attack.

"Approximately hight 300.000.000.000 meters. Landing 100km southwest." were the only words (Y/n) had to say after the events of the day. Meliodas smiled brightly at her and turn towards the direction she had pointed.

"Told you didn't I? If I wasn't using trash, you would've been dead." He then turned his attention to Elizabeth, "Well, looks like with this, you've found the first one Elizabeth!"

The three then made their way back to the tavern.

"About the remaining 6, me and (Y/n) have got business with them too, so we have started looking for them. The bar serves as a way to gather information. If there was another server girl we would have more customers and more information. You'll come with us right?"

"Yes!!!... Emm is (Y/n) one of the sins too?"

"Negative. I am here for another reason. Aiding Meliodas overlaps with my mission." (Y/n) answered simply.

"Mission?" Elizabeth was even more confused than she was before.

"I'll explain later." Meliodas cut in with a small shake of his head.

"Now let us be on our way!!"
