Chapter Two:

Meliodas turned his head looking for a certain silver haired princess. A lot had happened and he needed to assure that she was okay. He looked around but to his dismay she cannot be found anywhere.

"Elizabeth?" he whispered a slight thumping was beginning to form in his chest.

a little while longer his heart begun to pump harshly in his chest. What if she was kidnapped again? What if she was hurt? What if…

Anxiety, worry and a little anger filled out Meliodas' mind. Where was she? Why won't she stay right where he told her too? If anything happened to her, all hell would break loose. Not only figuratively, literally. He barely controlled himself when he fought Galan, and he do not want to know whatever would have happened if he did not.

His pace quickened as his search for Elizabeth was becoming futile. His mind finally stopped when a flash of silver caught his gaze. She was with Merlin. Her eyes were red. Was she crying?

"Elizabeth!" he shouted. The princess' attention was now on him. She wiped her left over tears and went up to him.

"Meliodas-sama, you were looking for me?" she smiled her usual smile but the Sin's captain knew that there was something off about her.

Looking a little worried he gathered his composure. "Are you okay, Elizabeth?" he asked. Again he was just greeted with a smile.

"Yes, I am, Meliodas-sama"

"What were you discussing with Merlin?" he inquired.

"It is a matter between the princess and me, Captain." Merlin interrupted leaning from Elizabeth's shoulder. "It's a girl's matter so don't go asking too much, have some delicacy, Captain."

A certain look was seen in the captain's face. "Oh-ho? Is that so? Is that 'bout these?" he reached up and groped Elizabeth's breast (A/N: as always) "Did they get bigger?" He knew that it was a lie. He knew but he didn't ask.

"Me-Meliodas-sama!" Elizabeth moaned.

"You perverted store owner!" Hawk came in tackling Meliodas to the ground taking Elizabeth behind him. "I just turned around for a second and you do this?!" Hawk continued to scold Meliodas while Diane approached Elizabeth.

"Are you okay?" Diane leaned down to Elizabeth. Worry was seen clearly in her voice. "You just disappeared, the Captain was worried."

"Uh, yes, I was just took a walk to catch some fresh air." Elizabeth replied in her usual tone. "I thought you were busy giving instructions to the knights so I just kind of slipped off."

"Ne, Elizabeth." Diane whispered sitting down beside the princess hugging her knees.

"Yes?"

"Don't disappear without saying goodbye, ne?" Sadness was eminent in the giantess' eyes. "I don't want the captain to feel the same way as I do, so don't go anywhere not without saying anything to him, okay?"

Elizabeth smiled and nodded. "Don't worry, I won't."

"Of course, I'd be saying a proper goodbye." She said.

"Eh?" Diane was now confused.

"Diane, I think I need to..." she looked towards where Meliodas was. "…go home"
