A couple of days had passed since the Demon King and Supreme Deity had their "special" meeting. While the Supreme Deity had it out with some members of her race, not a word came up about it in the Demon Realm. This was mainly because he did not have subjects that were openly nosy. Not to mention, he also appeared terrifying to most so not many would even dare speak about something of that matter so casually, not even his sons. Nevertheless, the Demon King was just as lost as the Supreme Deity as to what his next move should be.

As he sat in an office-like area of his oasis, he thought and communed with himself as he held a quill in his hand, slowly tapping it on his desk. He didn't have a thing to decree at the moment, not a soul to defend, almost as if he was useless. Not that he really cared about that. Not nearly as much as how he should follow up on his last interaction with his ally leader. As he looked around at the intricately textured and detailed walls in the area he was in, then, looking down at what was in his hand, he thought up a "clever" idea. 'How about I write this woman instead of meeting her once more? I'd rather not get her pregnant and have to raise more nuisances once over,' thought the Demon King, nodding to himself as he sat up and got a scroll of paper to give life to his thoughts.

Following, the Demon King laid out the paper in front of him and got a jar of ink to dip his quill in. His writing began,

My Dearest Queen,

I am addressing you at this time regarding the knowledge of what the desire of your heart is. I know not what to make of what we shared with one another when we afore met. As you said, it appears truly too late for you, and I Rhitta. That is, to be together publically. I've been thinking that maybe you and I could still be together but just keep it between you and me. I must be honest when I say I have never loved another the way I, have you. Although it may appear unbelievable, I truly mean every word which I rather not proclaim openly as I'd appear hypocritical and I don't care for refutation from my subjects. Please, take as much time as you desire in responding, Rhitta. All I ask is that you are honest. Well- "Father," Zeldris asked as he opened the door to his father's quarters, interrupting the Demon King's thoughts.

"Yes, son," the Demon King replied, trying to appear unbothered. "Pardon me, but there's something I need to ask you," Zeldris replied in his deep and cold undertone while gazing upon his father, noticing he wasn't in his usual intimidating attire, and an odd sight to see. "Alright but close the door first, Zeldris," the Demon King's heavy voice resounded. "Let me guess, you're going ask about where I went the other day," the Demon King continued as Zeldris closed the door behind him. "Well, father, I know where you went but I don't know how your meeting with that damned goddess-" "Watch your mouth, son," the Demon King interrupted in response, lightly warning Zeldris. "What's wrong with me saying that about the leader of the Goddess Race, Father?" "It's disrespectful, Zeldris. She is the queen of a powerful race that we now are in league with," the Demon King replied.

Zeldris's response was an inquisitive, confused, and slightly sore gaze directed at his father. The Demon King sat looking at his son, not indignant, but with one eyebrow raised in genuine concern. "Okay now, tell me what did the two of you do?!" Zeldris exclaimed. "Boy, you do ask a lot of questions," the Demon King replied somewhat sharply. "It was that bad!?" "Zeldris! Hush" the Demon King boomed in response. The king cleared his throat as he and his son were silent for some moments before saying "No, it was not bad at all. We engaged in a real mutual exchange and we now better understand each other. Which has now led to the further establishment of the armistice between our races."

Zeldris sighed before replying simply "Whatever you say, father." He began to head for the door causing the Demon King's posture to subtly relax before his son abruptly turned, saying "Oh, and I have another question, why are you writing, father?" The Demon King looked around, groping for what his response should be. "Uh-son, well, I'm just following up with what the Supreme Deity and I discussed. It's not a matter that you'd need worry about," the Demon King replied. Zeldris nodded, then left without a hitch.

The door clicked behind Zeldris upon leaving and when it did, the Demon King fully exhaled before he went ahead and finished the letter he was writing,

Well, although I adjure that you take your time, if you'd rather sooner than later that you give me a chance to "take things to your bedroom", try to get back to me as soon as possible. Signed, Yours Truly.

The Demon King slightly grinned with cockiness upon writing his last remark before reading over what he wrote. Once he did, he requested for his eldest son, Meliodas, by way of Chandler, to deliver the contents of what he wrote and sealed to the Supreme Deity knowing that same woman very well might be his son's mother-in-law one day. Yet, he didn't care. After all, Meliodas at this point had little to no interest in his father's affairs considering their history yet respected him enough to drop by, every blue moon- or at least do something small he may ask now that peace has been established.

*Brittania, an open grassy plain, 3000 years ago, technically after the Holy War*

Due to their parents shifting their hostile gazes away from the relationship of their children, Meliodas and Elizabeth have been enjoying each other's company muchmore than before due to not having to look over their shoulders to make sure no harm would come to them while together. Not that they did not already strongly enjoy one another's company, it's just now they had more time to because an era of 'peace' had come upon the world.

The couple were gazing at the sight in front of them while sitting closely to one another, conversing about various affairs in their lives.

"So, where do you think we should go next?" Meliodas inquired his lover in an upbeat tone. "I honestly don't mind if this is what we remain doing for a while. I mean my homeland seems to be coming along fine without my presence, the human, fairy, and giant races along with their realms appear to be fine, so, why don't we just spend more time here?" Elizabeth replied in her soft and sweet-sounding voice while shifting her gaze toward Meliodas.

Meliodas managed to express a slight grin before looking downward while allowing a hint of sorrow to be expressed on his face and in his eyes. Upon realizing what Meliodas was trying to communicate, Elizabeth lightly gasped before saying "u-Meliodas, I apologize. I did not think about the Demon Race or your loved ones there either." "It's fine, Elizabeth. I'll sort things out with them when the time comes but don't worry about that. Plus, I want to work on showing your mother I'm not that bad," Meliodas replied, keeping his upbeat tone, yet sounding negligibly serious in a way.

"Meliodas, you have no need to try and go out of your way and show my mother out of all people how good you are. All that matters is that we accept each other," Elizabeth replied. "Oh, I know that very well but it doesn't hurt to try. It might make things easier for you in terms of acceptance within your race and to me, that's worth it, regardless of what any of my race may say," Meliodas answered with a smile. Elizabeth felt a great warmth come over her cheeks upon her lover's last response, causing a smile to touch her lips.

"Thank you-" Elizabeth stopped as her gaze gradually pivoted behind Meliodas. Meliodas kept his gaze on Elizabeth as there stood Chandler, his own advisor behind him. Surprisingly, he did not have a hint of murderous intent, as he was sobbing. Meliodas slowly and in a somewhat exaggerated matter turned his head to look at his advisor, while Elizabeth was staring, with one hand covering her mouth.

"Prince Meliodas, it's a delight to see you alive after all that has transpired," Chandler managed to utter between tears. "Why are you here?" Meliodas replied, coldness and seriousness now in his voice. "Oh, the Demon King wrote something and he requested me to give it to you so you could deliver it to that goddess's mother," Chandler replied, practically spitting the end of his statement. Meliodas took the scroll from Chandler while eyeing him. He then began to soften his facial expression to confusion, as he looked at the scroll, at Elizabeth (who was just as lost as he was), then back at Chandler almost satirically before asking "Why exactly? That does not even sound right," Meliodas said. "Young Master, I do not know, I'm only following the orders I've been given," Chandler replied. "Alright, you're dismissed," Meliodas replied as Chandler then took off.

There were a few moments of blank staring between the couple as they were clueless but nevertheless, they shrugged it off as Elizabeth led them to the Celestial Realm.

*Goddess Realm, the Celestial Palace*

"Mother!" the princess of the Goddess Race called out with a relatively unwelcome presence by her side. The sweet voice caused her mother to back away from the conversation she was engaged in with one of the archangels, preferably Ludociel, who had a partially jarring gaze at the couple's presence. "Hello dear," the Supreme Deity said with a warm smile and underlying tone of jubilance at the sight of her only child, "Meliodas," the queen replied, turning her attention to address her daughter's lover in a slightly darker, more stern tone.

Meliodas nodded and let a slight grimace appear on his lips in respect to the Supreme Deity's acknowledgment of him. He continued to ignore Ludociel, whose disdainful gaze he could feel looking down upon him. Elizabeth looked at her mother, then Meliodas, then back at her mother in quick glances somewhat surprised by their interaction, before saying "O-oh, well, Meliodas has something to give to you."

"Oh really?" the Supreme Deity replied, looking with amusement at Meliodas. Elizabeth whispered a "Yeah" under her breath as she nudged Meliodas to present the letter he had in hand to the Supreme Deity. Somewhat hesitantly, after making eye contact with Elizabeth, Meliodas began: "Yea, I have no clue why but the Demon King sent for me and had this given to me so I could give it to you." "That's a bunch of nonsense if I've-" Ludociel started with his crossed before the Supreme Deity interrupted. "Quiet," the queen of the Goddesses spat while raising one of her hands into Ludociel's face, almost pushing him away by his forehead. Ludociel frowned but he figured not to say anything else only for the sake of respect to the Supreme Deity.

"My apologies Meliodas but why would your father want to give something like this... to me," she said while accepting the scroll from Meliodas. As the Supreme Deity was handed the scroll, she opened the seal and began to skim over the contents of the text, a sweet smile grew on her lips, and she also slightly moved to the right to make sure the text was out of the sight of Ludociel, who may have been trying to 'investigate,' already having some prior knowledge. This caused Meliodas to chuckle slightly with both amusement and confusion. On the contrary, an expression of slight disgust grew on Elizabeth's face, and Ludociel and they sort of side-eyed one another, causing Meliodas to ask "Well, were you expecting something from him?" "Oh... no," the Supreme Deity replied while narrowly dragging out her statement, suggesting the opposite of the words she was speaking.

"So why don't you tell him?" Elizabeth replied in an oddly stoic tone, sharply. At that, the Supreme Deity's gaze swiftly changed from loving to spiteful, as she sharply motioned to her daughter to stay quiet. "About what?" Meliodas inquired with concern, as the mother and daughter in the room were sternly staring down at each other. The Supreme Deity sighed as she slightly turned her back. "Whatever, I thought you must have already told him as you do everything." "Is that a bad thing?" Elizabeth replied to her mother, although she remained silent as she tried to focus on the letter.

"What's happening?" Meliodas asked with great confusion. "Weeelllll," Elizabeth drew out, tempting her mother, "the other day-" "I kissed your father!" the Supreme Deity blurted, figuring it might take away the embarrassment she would feel either way. "Well isn't that good, they're getting along?" Meliodas asked with odd innocence. "No, Meliodas you don't understand the type of kiss," Elizabeth replied. Meliodas only responded with a confused look. "In the good words of my fellow clansmen, specifically Sariel and Nerobasta, my mother here apparently got together with the Demon King to meet the other day to share a very intimate moment with him, so, she slipped him the tongue- or rather a-" "Okay, Elizabeth that's enough!" the Supreme Deity replied. "Why are you acting like you regret it? You seemed like you couldn't care less about us talking about what you did just yesterday, so, why now?" Elizabeth replied with slight indignation.

The room then came to a point of awkward silence after Elizabeth's last comment. After a few moments, Ludociel whistled while turning his body to head for the exit of the area he was in as he did not feel the need to be involved in the interaction, despite not being told by the Supreme Deity to do so. As the Archangel exited, Meliodas with a blank expression asked "My question is... why would you want to?" "It's complicated and I'm not explaining anything to any of you as I am not entitled to," the Supreme Deity snappily replied in response. "No need, I'll just ask your daughter," Meliodas replied calmly and laughingly while lifting off to leave the realm, avoiding any clap-back from the Supreme Deity. Of course, Elizabeth followed as she didn't necessarily want to be there any longer as well.

On the other hand, despite slightly failed attempts to hide it, the Supreme Deity was practically beside herself with excitement due to the letter- a love letter the King of the Demons sent her. Though she hadn't even really read his message yet, the same feeling of helplessness she felt after the same man held her close began to swell up again, invoking both negativity and the warm feeling only caused by intimacy. Though as conflicted as she had ever been, the Supreme Deity still lost herself in the pleasant words her love interest wrote. Although being a full-grown adult, the attention she felt being dispelled upon her made her feel as if she were a little girl despite never experiencing that stage of existence. How so very odd this phenomenon was to her. Though being a 'god,' without her innate abilities, she still really wasn't as deity-like as she herself had once thought and even her own creations.

Emotions only seemed to be fabricated so long before to her, but at this moment they were very real- especially as she read the last line of the letter. The queen felt her cheeks steam once more but she didn't mind. Admittedly, the Supreme Deity sure did like the whole idea presented by the Demon King but still felt some type of shame within herself.

Sure she felt intense emotions for the Demon King but she would never want the news of that to get out or for that to negatively impact their children more than she and the Demon King had already done. The queen of the Goddesses was for some odd reason all over the place within herself and felt inadequate to deal with these affairs properly at the moment. So, she came to the conclusion to sit on her thoughts for some time.

'If he loves me, he'll wait for me. Maybe not this time around but perhaps next,' the Supreme Deity figured as she began to walk to her quarters, finally finding some sense of tranquility within herself in all of the madness.

Despite having sent a letter, the Demon King too felt he would know what the Supreme Deity's answer would be as well. They both knew they could enjoy one another's presence as long as they exist, except not in the way the initial hope of the two began ages prior.

After all, considering they were two of the only gods in creation, they were on one another's wavelength.
