Chapter 11 – Touching Reunion
.
On the sunset, when they took a bath, Ban wondered as he stared to the scars on his body "say, Lucifer. What kind of life you've been going through, that make you having those scars?".
Lucifer raised his eyebrow "gruesome?".
"no, I just interested".
"well, it's long story, mostly I earned these scars from my training back on my homeland rather than my fight on the battlefield, but the most unacceptable and humiliating of all scars in my body", turning his back against him, Lucifer let it shown. In between his shoulder-blades, there was a tattoo fire-shaped number '666' and three pairs of red scars where his wings were supposed to "are these, when someone ripped my wings off of my back. It hurt as hell. Well, for a human, perhaps it felt like your spine was torn off of its place, considering the wings on my clan members are connected to our spine".
Lucifer didn't need to mention about how he was unable to get off of his bed, unable to walk, stand, or even to sit due to his temporary paraplegic, only able to lying on his bed with his daughters, Meliodas, and Elizabeth took care of him in shift. It left three pairs of long red cuts on his back and like the remainder of his Sin that day, number 666 was carved on his back, the number of how many lives that had been lost by his hand.
(Merlin and Iseult barely left him. Merlin always put the brave face and encouraged Iseult who barely stopped crying and always concerned about him. Elizabeth took care of everything, helped by Meliodas to care for them)
Shuddering at the description, Ban offered to wash his back in attempt to take a better look on the scars on his back and he cringed internally "who had given these scars to you? I swear it must have hurt like hell".
"my mother, as a punishment that I well-deserved", Lucifer shrugged "not the first time I've got beaten by her, though".
Even Ban thought it was too much as a punishment "for real, Lucifer? I mean, your mother? An abusive single mother?".
"childhood was a complete shit, but I don't focus on it. I only focus on getting stronger to protect the one and only thing I have to protect, my little sister. Despite the beating I've earned from my mother, I could be happy thanks to one thing in my childhood. I guess the fact that I have such an innocent little angel as my little sister, is what makes me can survive it", after drying himself, Lucifer shoved his shirt "but to think she's fallen into the freak of a Demon...".
Well, not the first time Ban heard him bad-mouthing about his little brother-in-law "is he that bad?".
In their way back to the campsite, Lucifer told him to gather the firewood "Nah, deep down, I know he's a good man and he can make my sister happy. I would never hand over my sister to the man I don't approve or I don't acknowledge. I was just shocked to find out that my sister ended up together with... that pervert".
Ban perked "pervert?".
Flatly, Lucifer explained further "the perverted, mischievous little Demon. How could you expect me to not think that way? After all, the first time we met with him was on the battlefield, and of all things to do, he did something that makes me wanted nothing but to slaughter him for what he did to my beloved sister".
Ban twitched his eyebrow "err, what did he do to your sister? That bad to the point you wanted to kill him".
Lucifer sighed in distress as he cut the firewood and started to make the campfire "...I could've sworn that he's our sworn enemy. The first time we met, he stole my little sister's underwear and bra. I could still remember their colors to this day, even. It was white".
When Tristan and Iseult were back, they were surprised to see Ban who toppled over on the ground and clutched his stomach, laughing madly. The clueless couple approached them and asked what happened before Lucifer explained what happened. Iseult facepalmed with a slight flush on her cheeks. Tristan had a tendency to bang his head to the tree bark nearby several times.
Lucifer pointed out as Tristan crouched himself on the ground in an attempt to hide from embarrassment as Iseult tried to comfort him that everything was okay "gladly, Tristan is not a pervert like his father and more like as a sweet cinnamon roll as my sister. Otherwise, I was gonna kill him before he asked for my beloved daughter's hand".
"then I was just gonna elope with him, as Aunt did", Iseult stuck her tongue out and leaned her head on Tristan's back "I don't see the problem of eloping with someone you loved. After all, Aunt and Uncle, just like you and mom, only love each other and tried to live your life with the ones you loved. Nothing's wrong with it, I think".
Lucifer smiled bitterly at that "...yeah, that's how Love always works, honey. It kills you slowly like a poison—".
"—but it's also your only salvation", Iseult tilted her head and smiled, "right? You always said that".
Lucifer smirked and sipped his ale "smart girl".
They arrived on the Capital Of The Dead and just like its name, the Necropolis felt like an empty, dead city.
Tristan squinted his eyes "wait, I can see the smoke of the smokestack from here".
Ban teased playfully "I wonder how could you see it with those ever-closed eyes?".
Lucifer blinked "are you sure it's not from the campfire?".
When Tristan shook his head, Iseult's face lit up in excitement "really?! Then, perhaps we can check on it! Who knows if it's an inn or tavern?".
Tristan hummed "good idea, maybe we can check and see if we can stay or not".
Iseult grabbed his wrist and dragged her husband "then, let's go!".
"youngsters are sure energetic~", Ban decided a walk around the village would not bring harm "well, I guess I'll take a look. Wanna join me, Lucifer?".
Lucifer declined politely, telling him that he would follow him later "I need to check the gate".
Ban squinted to his friend who walked away from him, he had no idea about what did he mean with this gate thing. Suddenly, he felt someone, or rather something pierce running through his chest and he puking blood. Ban looked behind as he saw a floating figure hovering above him, the one who had sent the spear running through his body.
King smirked smugly "yo, Ban. Long time no see you. Still, remember me?".
"ha? Who the hell are you, brat?".
"...what do I expect of you?".
Meanwhile, the couple who had long gone to the source of the smoke, just arrived and quite surprised to see a giantess near the tavern. Brunette giantess happily chatted with Iseult and offered them to drink and eat on their tavern. Iseult accepted it gladly, before asking her whether they could stay for a night or not. The giantess seemed hesitant before she told her to just come into the tavern and ask the Captain, the tavern's owner. When Tristan and Iseult came into the tavern, they were welcomed by a talking pig and a ginger-haired man who wiped the glass on his hand. Tristan went straight explaining (that he and his wife were the travelers who needed a place to stay for a night) to Escanor and Hawk, the talking—.
...Wait, a talking pig?
Looking down at the talking pig, Iseult's eyes lit up in the excitement of a child before she showed the very same reaction with Elizabeth's the first time she saw Hawk, caressing Hawk's body while lying her head and upper torso on it "TALKING PIG! So cute!".
Hawk's eyes lit up in delightful "oi, Escanor! Kick those two lovebirds out of their nest to here and tell them that this couple can stay!".
Escanor cleared his throat with slightly flushed cheeks, knocking the closet "um, Captain, ma'am, sorry to disturb you two but it seems like we have guests".
Hawk immediately apologized when he saw how Iseult blushed furiously and covered her face, while Tristan twitched the corner of his mouth incredulously. They were shocked when they saw who exactly the couple who just got out of the closet after Meliodas kicked the closet opened.
Elizabeth flopped out of the closet, rubbing her butt after repositioning her mini skirt "geez, I told you, it's cramped there".
Meliodas smirked suggestively as he reached out his hand to help her "but you don't mind at all from how you moaned inside~".
Looking straight to the struggling couple who interlaced their fingers as they had little wrestle, Tristan blinked rapidly "...father?".
Iseult blinked and tilted her head "eh? Father-in-law?".
Hawk gawked after he processed this and snapped its head to the couple "...wait, he's YOUR son and daughter-in-law?!".
Meliodas and Elizabeth turned their head to their guests and once the recognition hit their brain, they reacted as the parents usually should have when they unexpectantly met with their children that they hadn't met for a long time.
Meliodas jaw-dropped first "ah! Tristan, Iseult!".
Elizabeth instantly let Meliodas go, unintentionally pushing him to Hawk (which Meliodas grumbled under his breath and Hawk snickered) before Elizabeth wrapped her arms around Tristan's and Iseult's shoulders "Tristan, Iseult, my sweet children! Long time no see you two!".
Hawk still snickered "is this normal? This was the first time I saw her pushing you like that, which you deserve sometimes".
"yeah, she forgot me immediately when our son and his wife visited", Meliodas cleaned the dust off of his clothes "and shut your mouth before I turned you into roasted pork, piggy".
Ignoring the usual bickering between Meliodas and Hawk, Elizabeth ruffled Tristan's and Iseult's head "look at how you've grown so big. Oh, you have no idea how I miss you".
Tristan could have let out the crude joke about how his mother jilted him as usual, if not because of the fact that his mother remembered. It successfully turned the couple's faces deadly pale. The very first thing that came to their mind, Elizabeth remembered. She remembered. It only meant she would die in three days straight from when she remembered, or perhaps less than three days considering that they didn't even know for how long Elizabeth had remembered.
Iseult squeezed Tristan's bicep "Triss, get yourself together".
With pale face as sheet, Tristan shakily asked "...father, mother is...".
Ah. Right, they didn't know about it. Yet. Escanor and Hawk exchanged glances in pity. The latter even wondered how his beloved Merlin must have felt all along this time.
"Okay, so it's settled. Just like we've discussed, I will tell everything to Tristan and Iseult. Good luck for you later, Elizabeth", Meliodas lifted his thumb to Elizabeth who nodded her head before Meliodas grabbed Tristan's and Iseult's hands, dragging them to speak in the storage room where no one could eavesdrop "okay, now, please calm down and listen to me. Actually—".
Please wait for a moment...
Elizabeth patted Tristan's and Iseult's head as they hugged Elizabeth for... a half-hour "there, there, Triss, Iseult, please stop crying already".
A half-hour beforehand, to be more precise, after Meliodas finished his explanation, both Tristan and Iseult had barged out of the storage room, calling her 'mother' boldly and lunged to hug Elizabeth to give her a bear hug. Such a cinnamon roll couple, Meliodas and Elizabeth said. Cute, adorable, and lovely. Knowing that Elizabeth wouldn't die, they were really relieved to the point they were crying mess and wanted nothing but to hug Elizabeth.
Tristan sniffled, wiping his tears vigorously "how could I not cry? I'm so happy and relieved for you and dad, mom".
"me too... I'm so happy that from now on, we don't need to keep our distance...", Iseult hiccupped "no need to hold back ourselves and can just shower you with love and affection without a doubt...".
"oh my, you two are really adorable~", Elizabeth couldn't help but giggle to their antics. Deep down in her heart, she felt a tinge of guilt for how they had felt towards her but she could deal with it later. For now, they still had one more task to do "no need to worry about it anymore. We still have so much time together from now on".
"and to think that you two haven't changed at all...", Tristan rolled his eyes to his father and mother, remembering what they did on the closet when he and his wife just arrived here "at least, I'm glad that you two are healthy".
Elizabeth blushed furiously and Meliodas grinned cheekily at his remarks.
"speaking of which, because you are here, it means my older brother is here too, right?".
Iseult nodded "yes, Aunt. My father is in the village, but I wonder how my father will react?".
Knowing his father in law, Tristan noted "...I bet he's not gonna take this well".
Meliodas and Elizabeth nodded in unison "indeed".
Iseult was unsure now "so... who's gonna tell my father?".
Meliodas crossed his hands before his chest "it can't be me, obviously. I have a hunch feeling he will have my hide and use me as a sparring bag after I tell him. You know, to release his anger".
"Not gonna happen", Elizabeth wrapped her arms around Meliodas' shoulders protectively and hugged him from behind. She wouldn't want anything to happen to her lover "that's why let it be me who tells my brother. Now, how about we go to the village and—".
They heard the explosion from the village and rushed out of the tavern.
Meliodas snapped his head to their outlook "Diane, what's wrong?".
Diane explained that she also had no idea, suddenly there was a shooting star from the sky fell to the village "but this magic power... it can't be...".
"shooting star...", Iseult trailed off before she gasped "Oh, my!".
Tristan clarified "it must be father in law's magic".
"this magic presence, undoubtedly my older brother's... it seems he came in between two magic powers, like trying to stop the fight between two people", Elizabeth murmured "but who?".
Meliodas knitted his eyebrow "these magic presence... King and Ban".
"oh, no! What's gotten into him?", Diane knew King and Ban usually had a fight but never to this level where they tried to kill each other "King!".
Elizabeth spread her wings and grabbed Meliodas' hand, flying to the sky "Diane, wait!".
"let's go", Iseult also spread her wings and grabbed Tristan's hand, flying to the sky. Looking behind her shoulder, she called to Escanor and Hawk "meet us in the village, okay?".
After he made sure the location of the gate to the Necropolis this time (heck, sometimes the gate could shift somewhere but never left this village, always in this village), Lucifer felt it from the village, two different magic power clashed against each other. When he arrived there, he saw Ban was struck with a spear running through his chest.
Well, he knew his new friend was immortal but the sight of someone got stabbed in the chest and still alive, only spewing bloods from his mouth, to say it was unnerving sight, it would be an understatement.
Landing on the ground right in between Ban and King, Lucifer turned to him, folding his wings "yo, Ban. You're still alive, right?".
Ban wiped the blood from his mouth "yeah, regrettably, I'm immortal so obviously, yes, I'm alive~".
King squinted his eyes rapidly before shaking his head and rubbing his eyes. When he opened his eyes again, King thought he was just imagining a thing. King could have sworn he had seen wings came out of this newcomer's back but now, the wings were nowhere to be seen. Perhaps he had just mistaken it, yep.
(Bad luck, King. Actually, Lucifer has retracted his wings back into his body, that's why you can no longer see his wings).
Lucifer looked back and forth between King and Ban "so... care to tell me what happened here?".
Ban told him in annoyance "I don't know who is this brat, but he tried to kill me and keeps attacking me fiercely, which it's no use since I'm immortal".
"I suggest you stay out of my way, stranger", King floated down "this is the problem between old friends".
"...but he said you're his old friend", Lucifer pointed to King, turning to Ban "try to remember it. Don't tell me your immortality wrecked your brain and your memory failed you?".
"don't talk as if I'm an old man~ wait, I already am, in fact. Only my body isn't. And don't talk that way, I'm not senile~".
"Well, to be perfectly honest, my friend, I know someone immortal whose brain got wrecked due to their immortality. Two of them, in fact. One is having suicidal tendencies. The other one is having mental instability which caused by mental disorders named the Borderline Personality Disorder", looking at the total confusion on his friend's face (that he thought ridiculous, really), Lucifer cleared his throat "let my daughter fills you with it later, okay?".
"you really have such an acquaintance, Lucifer~ introduce them to me later, would ya? I'd like to meet someone immortal other than me. Perhaps, they can be my friend to drink like you~", Ban pointed his chin up to King "and? Would you be so kind as to lend me your hand?".
"nope", Lucifer deadpanned, walking away "like this kid said, this is your business with him. I'm just an outsider here. Good luck".
Ban jaw-dropped as his eyes widened "seriously, Lucifer!? You're just gonna watch us when someone tried to kill your friend here? What kind of a friend you are?".
Lucifer simply crossed his arms before his chest and stood to watch from the far distance "I'm quite the pacifist one, Ban. As long as it's unneeded, I don't want to fight. It's not like you will die, anyway".
"say the one who destroyed Baste Dungeon...", Ban twitched his eyebrow "well, true, but—".
"smart step", King snapped his finger and ordered the Second Form of Chastiefol, Guardian to catch Ban. After the Guardian caught Ban, King floated down "to satisfy your own Greed, as the price of your immortality, you killed the Guardian Saint of the Fountain Youth. But you don't know who did you kill...".
Ban drawled with sing-song tone "that's why, I said... who the hell are you? How could you know about that woman?".
"The Guardian Saint of the Fountain Youth, the woman you killed—", King grabbed Ban's collar "—is no one other than my little sister, Elaine!".
Ban narrowed his eyes, looking straight to King with an unreadable expression before Ban provoked King to try on killing him, the immortal. Lucifer watched the exchange with a thoughtful expression and he froze when the realization of what had happened here, hit his head. It struck him, remembering him of the old memory.
Meliodas bowed his head further "kill me, Lucifer".
Lucifer gritted his teeth "you are an idiot... This is not what my sister would want!".
Looking up with his teary-eyes, Meliodas cried out "I'm tired... I just want the pain to stop... I tried but just like I've been the one who survived, she's been the one who kept dying... I should have been the one who died instead of her... I should have done this sooner because I am the reason for her death... just kill me before I kill her again!".
Merlin cried out, hugging Lucifer from behind "Father, no! I beg you! Please, don't do it! Don't kill him! I can't lose him too after I lost Sis-Sis!".
When King used the Third Form of Chastiefol to petrify Ban's body, both King and Ban were shocked because not only Ban's petrification had disappeared, but also Lucifer who had been silent, interfered as he carried Ban over his shoulder.
King narrowed his eyes and growled, "...what do you think you're doing?".
"Sorry, I've changed my mind", Lucifer deadpanned and lifted his hand "from my perspective, we just know what happened from your subjective, we don't even know from Ban's perceptive. How about we try to see it objectively and let's listen to his story?".
"you really should step back, an outsider. Why would you even interfere now?".
After Lucifer put him down on the ground, Ban lazily scratched his nape "I think you said you are the pacifist one and don't want to interfere. What's gotten into you?".
"Ban, the reason of why I asked you to come with us after you broke out of the jail that day...", Lucifer stood and smiled "...because you kind of reminded me with my old self and my brother-in-law".
Ban opened his mouth, about to ask him what did he mean but King reached out his hand, pointing his Chastiefol behind Lucifer "if you don't want to step back, then I will just kill you along with him".
"the type of someone who prefers to use muscle rather than their brain, huh?", Lucifer knew that King was serious. Either he complied with his request to step back or he interfered, King would kill Ban no matter what. If it was needed because Lucifer got in his way, King even would kill him as well. It seemed he had no choice. From his weapon and the aura of the Fairy, Lucifer could recognize him as Fairy King, just like Gloxinia and Dahlia "oh, my... it can't be helped, I guess. You should be honored, Fairy King. Since my opponent is you, I guess I have no choice but to use this".
Ban and King were dumbfounded "huh?".
Lucifer stood and spread his wings. Three pairs of dark wings as dark as night came out of his back and his eyes turned into red "Seraphim mode : on".
King's eyes widened and he snapped his finger "Spirit Spear Chastiefol Form Eight: Pollen Garden!".
Just barely. If King hadn't used the Pollen Garden to protect himself from the shooting star that came down from the sky, he would have doomed. King shuddered when he realized just how massive magic power that came from Lucifer.
"oh? It seems you're not that weak, though I should say, you're still nothing compared to Gloxinia and Dahlia", the smoke dissipated, revealing Lucifer. Ban realized there was another tattoo on his back that appeared, precisely under his nape in between his shoulderblade. Tattoo in the shape of a red sword with six wings protruding from the sword. Not only that, but there also was the dark markings on his body that looked like his veins bulged and throbbed, just like the vines of the roses. Beautiful, but deadly. Lucifer could read Ban and King's mind, so he explained "oh, I believe you would like to hear my explanation. Even in the Goddess Clan, there's a special Angel that known as Seraphim. Seraphim is known as the strongest of our brethren who born with six wings and the mark on my back, the birthmark in shape a red sword with six wings protruding out of it. We are known as ones to protect our Gods, it's only fair that we're the strongest of our brethren".
King gulped "it can't be... I think the goddesses has been extinct?!".
"not all of us", Lucifer smirked devilishly "now, don't make me bored, Fairy King. Don't worry, I will go easy on you and I will not use my Sacred Treasure. Think of it as my mercy, otherwise, you will instantly die in my hand".
Before Lucifer's Ark hit King, Meliodas came in between them, using his Counter Vanish to dispel Lucifer's Ark.
King's eyes widened "Captain!".
Meliodas grinned, looking behind over his shoulder "yo, long time no see you, King!".
Before Lucifer and King could react, they heard someone screaming "older brother Lucifer! You have to stop right now!".
Lucifer turned his head and his eyes widened "...Elizabeth?".
"older brother Lucifer...", Elizabeth clenched her fist on her chest and exhaled. She smiled tearily before she lunged into him and hugged him "I missed you so much!",
Lucifer inhaled her scent, she was just like her original form, she had the scent of fresh Lily which she loved, she smiled brightly when she hugged him, soothing him. Lucifer snapped out of his Seraphim form, the markings on his body disappeared and his wings retracted back to his body as he hugged her back.
Wait. She remembered about him, it means...
With pale face as sheet, Lucifer broke the hug and grabbed her shoulders "Ellie, you...".
Elizabeth turned beet red and squealed in delight when Meliodas chose this moment to greet him as he crawled on Elizabeth's torso and groped her breast shamelessly "yo, Lucy dear! Long time no see you!".
Diane, Escanor, and Hawk who had gotten used to it (well, they tried to) only could facepalm. Ban had rarely lost at words but this time, he totally lost words. King blushed furiously after thinking he had to give his thanks to Elizabeth and the Captain for saving his life from Lucifer.
"yo, Meliodas...", Lucifer smiled with what you could consider as the gentle, warm smile "long time no see you too, but...".
Elizabeth turned slightly pale and stuttered about how her brother really should calm down. Tristan and Iseult instantly rushed to their side, they pulled Elizabeth away from Lucifer and Meliodas with the notion to 'retreat'. The Sins and Hawk had no idea about what happened but they understood what happened right away after Lucifer sent the blast of energy to Meliodas, which easily dodged by the Demon.
It only angered Lucifer further as he prepared another Ark on his hand "hands off of my little sister! No groping in public! And what I told you before to not call me that, you little freak!?".
When Lucifer successfully caught him, Lucifer grabbed Meliodas by the collar, violently shaking his body as Lucifer gave the load about how to be the gentleman and how to treat woman properly to his ear. Elizabeth tried to convince her older brother to stop, that she was fine, but Lucifer bought none of it and scolded Elizabeth about how she should have more dignity and not being too innocent.
Looking at how Meliodas couldn't fight Lucifer back and had no choice but to listen to his older brother in law's rambling, Hawk lifted its paw "I started to like this dude!".
When they started to calm down, King attempted to leave but realizing it, Diane stopped him and cried out "Harlequin, please don't go! You promised me that you will come back to me!".
King stiffened before looking back with deep frown at the sight of her tears "Diane, you remembered?".
Not giving him a chance to run away, Diane wrapped her arms to catch King in her arms and kissed him "I love you".
Everyone below gasped in shock. You could even hear the pin dropped here.
As Elizabeth, Escanor, and Hawk gasped behind him, Meliodas whistled "oh, boy".
When King fell backward, unconscious, Diane was shocked "eh? Harlequin!".
Ban totally lost it, he laughed it off "finally! Who knows they can finally be together?".
"Ban, it's not good to laugh at people like that", Lucifer waved his hand to his friend before trying to calm down the frantic Diane "Miss, calm down. He's only unconscious. I guess whoever got kissed by the woman he loved when they just reunited would collapse unconscious unless he's a shameless man like Meliodas".
Meliodas nodded his head and hummed with suggestive smirk "yup, I will kiss her back, torridly".
Elizabeth covered her blushing face with her hands, you could even see the steams coming out of her head.
"...I wonder if these two get along well or not", Escanor turned to the married couple, Tristan and Iseult "are they always like this?".
Tristan and Iseult nodded their head "yes, they are".
When they waited King to regain his consciousness, Elizabeth convinced Lucifer that she wouldn't die, she had remembered for, heck, a few weeks ago.
"...I don't know what to say", Lucifer hugged her and buried his face on her shoulder "I'm just so glad that we're not gonna lose you anymore".
Meliodas patted Lucifer's head "don't cry, Lucy Dear~".
Ban didn't know what happened, but he patted his new friend's back "don't cry, my friend~".
A vein popped in his head as Lucifer pursued them "Meliodas, get your butt down here so I can kill you!? And Ban, don't group with my brother-in-law now?!".
Tristan shook his head and sighed loudly "...kids. I'm surrounded by a bunch of kids".
"But you will not mind if it's our kid, right?", Iseult grinned seductively whispering near his ear "would you want a daughter or a son? I'd prefer a daughter, though~".
Tristan hugged her and rubbed his cheek against the crown of her head "as long as she's beautiful like you, I don't mind~".
Lucifer turned back to Elizabeth "oh, by the way... how did it happen? Any idea? What my daughter said about it, in case you have met her?".
Meliodas lifted his hand "good luck... or should I come with you?".
"no need", Elizabeth smiled to him as she dragged her older brother to come with her "we will come back right away. Also, I believe your comrades will want the explanation from you, Meliodas~".
"Cap'n~ I've heard so many rumors ever since I broke out of the prison, so I need your explanation...", Ban quirked his smile before he grabbed him by the collar "have you seriously eloped with the third princess of Liones!? How the hell Lucifer, Tristan, and Iseult are your brother-in-law, son, and daughter-in-law?!".
Meliodas lifted his hand "whoa, slow down, Ban. I'm gonna explain it, now sit down. As for King...".
From the corner of their eyes, they saw King had regained his consciousness and apologized to Diane. Diane shook her head, telling him that she was the one who should have apologized because she forgot everything about him in the past and had hurt him. In the end, everything was ended up well between the giantess and Fairy King who officially turned into the lovers now. Now, they only needed to explain his relationship with Elizabeth, also clear up the problems between King and Ban. However, they needed to wait for Lucifer and Elizabeth back.
That was when they heard Lucifer's scream "ARE YOU FRICKING KIDDING ON ME?!".
Meliodas facepalmed, fully knowing Lucifer wouldn't like this "told you".
Tristan nodded in understanding "to say father-in-law wouldn't like this, is an understatement".
Iseult only could smile nervously "...I'll try to ask my sister to talk with him later".
