"10 years ago, it wasn't just the Seven Deadly Sins. If we're going to do this, we're going to do this right. We need to find Armella." 10 Years Ago a group of Holy Knights Of Liones were banished for killing the Holy Knight Grand Master and trying to take over the kingdom. The group of seven, known as the Seven Deadly Sins, went their separate ways as they fled their enemies. What the stories don't include is the Holy Knight Armella that fought along the Seven Deadly Sins with nearly as much power and strength as them. She was family and she ran to prevent herself of being used as bait against her family members. Now the princess Elizabeth is gathering the Sins to stop the Holy Knights from starting the Holy War. Will they succeed or will they fail and the world be plunged into darkness? And just which member of the Seven is willing to risk it all to get Armella back? The Captain, Meliodas The Dragon Sin Of Wrath, Ban, The Fox Sin Of Greed, Diane, the Snake Sin of Envy, or King, the Grizzly Sin Of Sloth? And where are their other three members? Merlin, the Boar Sin Of Gluttony, Gowther, the Goat Sin Of Lust, and Escanor, the Lion Sin Of Pride? Okay. I obviously don't own the Seven Deadly Sins characters and plot line. But I do own Armella.
