Chapter 15: Past Comes Back to Bite
Walking through Liones Hadrian smiles and waves at the people who greet him
"Uhm, Sir Holy Knight?" A child asks tugging Hadrian sleeve
"Yes, what's wrong?" Hadrian asks squatting down to the child's height
"Is it true that you were a Holy Knight when you were 4?" The kid asks curious
"I was" Hadrian nodded
"Was it fun?" The child asks
"That depends. It definitely was fun but the reason it was fun was because I had the Sins who were practically my family" Hadrian answers
"So it was fun because you had your friends?" The child asks curious
"Yes, I was incredibly young when I became a Holy Knight but it was worth it because i saw the smiles on the people's faces when i helped them alongside my comrades" Hadrian says patting the child's head
"I want to be a Holy Knight and help people too" The child says as there eyes beam brightly with excitement
"You can help people as a Holy Knight but you can also help the Holy Knights by providing armour as well as other sorts of gear. It doesn't even have to be directly helping the Holy Knights, everyone around you is helping Holy Knights in some way. The farmers help the population which also includes the Holy Knights to remain fed, the builders help them have a home. It's all about what you do that can help many people" Hadrian says as the kid beams with a giant smile on there face
"Thank you so much! Have a good day!" The kid waves as the child runs off.
Hadrian chuckles and stands back up, he then notices the people around him giving him a knowing smile
"That was really nice of you Sir Hadrian" A young lady thanks
"No problem, just because your not a Holy Knight doesn't mean you don't help us" Hadrian shrugs
"I can see that. We-We would like to apologize for what happened to you and the Sins 10 years ago" The lady says and the people nod in agreement
"The evidence was stacked against us. And besides you only knew what you were told so I can't really blame you" Hadrian replies
"Thank you, even after everything that happened to you Sins, you still came back to save us" A man says
"There was a reason the Sins were formed. We were only doing our job" Hadrian says before continuing towards head to his destination
Upon reaching his destination Hadrian knocks on the door, once the door opens Hadrian sees a beautiful lady with black hair wearing black panties and a jacket barely covering her breasts
"Merlin" Hadrian greets with a smile
"Harry, it is good to see you" Merlin replies
"Oh hey Hadrian" a voice greets and Hadrian internally sighs
"Hello Hawk, care to explain what brought your attention to Merlin?" Hadrian asks slightly irritated
"I got a reward from Merlin, see" Hawk says gesturing to the familiar item on his ear
"Ah, you got Hawk that huh?" Hadrian asks surprised
"Yeah, we both had it so why not give Hawk one for saving Meliodas" Merlin shrugs
"But didn't you take his power?" Hadrian raises an eyebrow
"Uhm, yeah" Merlin says slightly embarrassed
"So out of curiosity, who was the kid you were with earlier?" Hadrian asks curious
"That was Arthur, he's the wielder of Excalibur and the King of Camelot" Merlin explains
I think I've heard of Arthur back when I was in my birth world back when I was stuck with James and Lily as well as my twin sister Hadrian thought
"Fair enough" Hadrian says
"Oh yeah I forgot, Meliodas says he wants the Sins to meet at the Boar Hat for a celebration" Hawk remembers
"We'll go" Merlin says before Hadrian could answer
"Ok then, I'll see you later" Hawk says before leaving
"And what made you answer for me?" Hadrian asks raising an eyebrow
"Because you have to and I won't let you say no" Merlin states firmly
"Since when did you boss me around?" Hadrian asks curious
"Since always" Merlin says lustfully as she grabs Hadrian's collar and kisses him
Hadrian smirks internally and reciprocated with his arms around her waist, they soon separated and Merlin caresses Hadrian's face
"You have grown Hadrian, I so wish I saw you grow up to the handsome man you are now" Merlin says before she wraps her arms around his neck and jumps up wrapping her legs around his waist forcing him to hold her by grabbing her ass
"I've missed you Hadrian" Merlin says lustfully before making out with Hadrian
As they begin to grind themselves on each other someone knocks on the door ruining the moment.
Sighing they both separated
"Come in" Merlin called out and Meliodas walks in
"Hey Captain" Merlin greets
"Hey Merlin, how are you today?" Meliodas asks curious
"Not bad, is there something you need?" Merlin asks curious
"No, not really. Just wanted to check if there is any specific drink you want" Meliodas shrugs
"Why would I need a specific drink?" Merlin asks confused
"Because I've got a bunch of drinks and I thought we might bring them out for easier access" Meliodas informs her
"I see, just get me my regular wine" Merlin replies
"Ok then, oh and Hadrian remember to bring your A game" Meliodas says with a smile
"Sure" Hadrian nods
"You drink now huh?" Merlin asks raising and eyebrow
"Sometimes, I don't drink as much as Meliodas, King and Ban but I do occasionally. After dealing with all those idiots I definitely need a drink" Hadrian says cheekily making Merlin giggle amused by Hadrian's comment.
Sitting on the wall at the edges of Liones, Diane in her miniature form looked at the scenery in thought.
It's been a long time since I was last here Diane thought with a small smile on her face
So many memories, the Captain, Merlin and the Sins. And Harry Diane thought and felt her heart flutter at the thought of him.
Harry was always there for me even when he was a kid, and now here he is as an adult. The look he gave me when he saw me naked that day Diane thought with her face reddening significantly
The look on his face made me feel hot and bothered, he also grew up to be an incredibly handsome man. But Merlin has him Diane thought disappointed.
Diane's then widen remembering Harry's comment "Then I shall wait before attempting to enter your pants"
Are Harry and Merlin in an open relationship? Diane thought causing her heart to beat faster at the thought.
Diane's eyes then widen in shock
"Oh no, I forgot that were going to celebrate at the Boar's Hate Tavern" Diane exclaims before jumping off the wall and onto the rooftops.
Sitting around in the Boar Hat tavern all of the Sins that were found on the journey are enjoying themselves and having a laugh
"Sir Hadrian, your drink" Elizabeth says handing Hadrian he's drink
"Thanks Elizabeth, you have certainly improved since the first time i met you here" Hadrian replies
"Uhm, thank you" Elizabeth bows before running off to get more drinks for the Sins
"It's odd isn't it?" Merlin asks appearing behind Hadrian
"And what is odd?" Hadrian asks curious
"How much she has grown. You saw her when she was barely a year old and here she is at the age of 16" Merlin answers sipping her wine.
"I guess so, but one thing that is funny is how out of everyone here. I'm the only one who actually fucking aged" Hadrian stated making Merlin laugh into her hand
"I guess so, King can change between his child form and more… Peculiar form" Merlin agrees
"Wah! What the hell! A power level of 28,319!?" Hawk exclaims shocked
Hadrian notices Hawk staring straight at him
"Damn, he's that powerful?" Ban says impressed and shocked
"Odd, Hadrian was at a power level of 27,983 during the battle of Liones" Gowther says fascinated
"Hey, I trained the past month after returning from Camelot" Hadrian stated
"Why do you need more power man?" Ban asks confused
"Because you saw how Hendrickson was, well I wasn't there but I heard you got your ass kicked. What happens if there is a more powerful opponent?" Hadrian asks looking at his comrades
Like the Ten Commandments Merlin, Meliodas and Hadrian thought simultaneously
"Then we'll have you there to help us" Ban says slapping Hadrian in the back
"I hope you don't regret saying that" Hadrian sighs
"Should I remind Ban should that ever happen?" Gowther asks tilting his head
"Sure, whatever" Ban says shrugging it off
Just then everyone was engulfed in bright blue fire
"Wah!? What's going on!?" Hawk exclaims shocked and afraid
"Interesting" Merlin says before everyone's vision was filled with blue fire.
The fire soon reduces and everyone is launched across the area before sliding ground, several Sins including Hawk and Elizabeth groan in pain.
"Ow, that hurt" Diane complains
Hadrian groans and picks himself up and soon freezes in shock.
In front of him were the shocked faces of Lily and James Potter
"Shit" Hadrian curses
Omake
"Uh, King you fat bastard!" A 8 year old Hadrian groans dragging King across the ground
"Don't fat shame me" King demands with tears shooting out of his eyes
"Hmm, don't be like that hehe" Diane giggles as she rolls around the floor
"I hate you guys sometimes" Hadrian shakes his head
Hadrian then gets King up to his room and returns to take Diane to her room
Lifting Diane up she snuggles up to Hadrian's neck and smiles
"So nice" Diane sighs relaxed
Once reaching Diane's room Hadrian puts Diane on her bed and was about to leave before Diane grabs Hadrian and holds onto him like a pillow
Damn it, this isn't good Hadrian thought until he saw Merlin looking at him with a smirk
"Merlin, yes come help" Hadrian whispers hopeful
"Why should I? I think this is kind of cute. And I wouldn't mind sharing if it's with pretty girls like this" Merlin whispers the last part into Hadrian's ear making his body shiver causing Merlin to chuckle in amusement.
"Help! Please?" Hadrian asks hopeful
"Oh no, this will be more interesting if I don't" Merlin smirks much to Hadrian's horror.
