A small blonde managed to slip into the armory while people were unaware of his movements. He got into some armor he had carefully, and secretly, made before moving out, his identity concealed. He managed to get to the gates of the kingdom (His original plan had failed) before someone caught him.

"Your highness." He pretended to not hear them before they grabbed his shoulder. "Nice try." He pulled away from their grip while striking them in the gut. He took off as a hiss followed.

The blonde gulped as he ran from the group of Knights following him. He had lost them twice, yet they never gave up. He spotted a forest up ahead and gulped. Would he make it?

One way to find out.

He darted forward as the Knights followed closely behind. He gulped before a voice filled the air.

"Wretched pests. Disappear." He ducked on instinct as a light filled the air. He waited before the voice returned. "So there are smarter individuals. Huh." He got to his feet before pulling the helmet off, hoping to not be seen as the enemy. He then spotted the person, floating down and landing in front of him. "Alright. Enlighten me. What were you doing, pointing your men at my territory?" The blonde bowed instantly.

"They weren't my men. I was escaping a nearby kingdom and they chased after me. I'm terribly sorry for making your people feel threatened." A gentle hum followed his words.

"Who are you then? And why would you flee the Kingdom of Liones in full armor?" Now that he worded like that, the blonde realized how stupid his plan sounded. He came up from the bow, hiding his reaction to those words.

"Prince Meliodas of Liones. And... at the time of my planning, I was hoping to just get out without anyone knowing my identity. As you can tell, that didn't work exactly-" The other person hummed as Meliodas scanned them. A male with Brown Hair, Amber Eyes, and a rather fancy attire. The other male hummed.

"Alright... Your Highness... what exactly are you after?" He gulped hesitantly.

"The Sins... the Seven Deadly Sins. I wanted to find them to help stop the Holy Knights and their iron grip on the Kingdom." The other male went quiet before a quarterstaff floated beside him.

"Come with me. I may know what you seek."

Meliodas followed the other male as they arrived at a large tree in the center of the forest. The Quarterstaff picked him up and carried him up as the other male flew up with ease. They got to the highest platform before he called out.

"Ban! We have a visitor!" A soft voice followed.

"Why?" Meliodas's eyes quickly caught sight of a White haired boy. The Brown haired boy smiled.

"Could you get me the info for the Sins?" Ban gave this look before nodding and vanishing. The older male smiled at him.

"I almost forgot... King Harlequin of the Fairy King Forest. Nice to meet you, Prince Meliodas." He nodded before Ban returned with two rolled up papers. He dropped the one to the ground before unrolling the other, revealing a large map of the world. Harlequin hummed as he scanned it. "Let's see... Sins of Greed, Sloth, and Pride have known locations. Greed got grabbed and is in a Holy Knight Prison. But that's nothing with the right team. Sloth is in the Giant's Land, though navigating there will be a little trick in a small form. Pride is hiding in Thief City, but that's hardly a challenge to get to. Gluttony and Wrath have been mentioned to have known locations, but I know nothing about that. Lust is nowhere to be found. So there's that..." Meliodas paused.

"Wait... what about Envy?" A smile slid onto the Fairy King's face as Ban dropped the map and unrolled the other paper. "Wait..."

"Let's try this again... King Harlequin of the Fairy King Forest and Serpent Sin of Envy." Meliodas shook his hand as Harlequin hummed. "Well, like I said, Greed is not the hardest, so we have time. Ban, could you race over to the prison and give Elaine the word that I'm on my way to get her out of there?" Ban nodded. "Good. Then we'll follow after you before heading to Giant's Land." Ban raced off as Harlequin's Quarterstaff picked him up again. "Alright! Let's go!"
