Not far from the sacred tree, a part of the forest lies a field of roses. There you'll find a fairy who's sleeping comfortably onto a tree branch, long Onyx hair, Magenta-colored eyes, and Scarlet wings she was the beloved wife of our fairy king, Lilian. "Hey, it's almost noon you know." The Fairy King said, Lilian, opened her eyes and stretched her arms, and yawned. "Can I at least get an additional 5 minutes?" Lilian said. "No, you've been sleeping half the morning and I'm getting bored!" The fairy king said, "Alright fine, anything for you, Gloxinia." Lilian sighed in defeat, Gloxinia only smiled and hugged her.

Fraudrin stands before the Ten Commandments. He's using Dreyfus' body. "Hey, Fraudrin is that a human body you're inhabiting by any chance?" Melascula asked, "Indeed, using it has been quite easy." Fraudrin returned.

"How is it that we were the only ones that we're able to escape?" Gloxinia questioned him. To which he tells them that he didn't have enough blood from Elizabeth to break the seal. They talked about what happened after they were sealed, they were surprised that the humans are the ones ruling over Britannia.

"Hey, you were able to escape from being sealed right? What were you doing all this time?" Galand asked Fraudrin. "I have a lot of things to sort out, I've only been self-aware 10 years." He responded.

"And there was this meddlesome group called The Seven Deadly Sins standing in my way." He added, Zeldris smirked. "Meliodas, right?" Zeldris confirms, "Yes, and a certain Fairy Queen whom I assumed lost her wings, assisted them as well." Fraudrin said.

They all turned to Gloxinia who has his eyes widen slightly, then he smirked "I see, so my little Scarlet Rose is still alive." Gloxinia says and chuckled "Hey Zeldris, I want her to be at my side once I've captured her." Gloxinia said. "Fine but I'm not taking responsibility for anything she does, if she does something I'm displeased with, it's on you." Zeldris said "Fair enough." Gloxinia chuckled. "Just wait for me, Lilian." He muttered under his breath.

Elizabeth goes to the Boar Hat and asks Meliodas if he's going on another quest. "Sure am." Meliodas said, "Alright, so I start getting my things so I could join you." Elizabeth said, "No need." Meliodas answered. Elizabeth comments that he's acting strangely but then he lifts her skirt.

"Cut it out!" Hawks said and stuffed Meliodas into a barrel and started to nail him shut there. Elizabeth goes to talk to Diane about Meliodas, she mentions how Meliodas is acting strange. "Hmm...come to think of it do you remember that enormous tremor yesterday?" Diane asked, "Yes, everybody was so surprised." Elizabeth responded.

"Well after that happened, for a split second The captain seems as though something was bothering him, and that Lilian was terrified," Diane mentions, Elizabeth worries about them, Diane smiles and asked her if she's in love with the captain. Elizabeth says that she does but she can't tell him, "Why? Eventually, if you keep it to yourself it's only gonna burden you." Lilian says while floating down.

"Lilian! Are you alright now?" Diane asks "Yes, why wouldn't I be?" Lilian said, "Because yesterday you were..." Diane says then trails of. Lilian smiles then pat her head, "I'm fine I promise." She reassures, "Anyways Princess if you don't tell him eventually he might die." Lilian said with a sincere face and holding both of Elizabeth's hands.

"Lady Lilian, if it's alright with you, may you tell us what on what happened between you and the First Fairy King?" Elizabeth asks. Lilian hesitates but sighs "It's a long story." She says "We'll listen." Diane said, Lilian sits in between Elizabeth and Diane and began her story.

"It was during the Holy War, I and the fairy king joined stigma as representatives of the fairy clan. While he was away with the giant king I guarded the rest of our people, I was close to his sister so I'm a bit protective of her. But then the humans, the ones we trusted, betrayed us. They started killing off the other fairies and taking their wings, of course, I fought with them but they somehow got me and I was injured badly.

The fairies who managed to still be alive carried me to a safe place where they found a friend of mine who is a goddess. She healed me and I was able to fight again. But soon I found out I had this power in me that the demon clan wants, Meliodas along with my goddess friend sealed me to a place called Space Distortion Room. It was for my safety. From what Meliodas told me, the fairy king, my husband, joined the demons that's all I could say." Lilian finished her story tears were streaming down her face, her heartaches knowing her beloved was with the enemy.

Elizabeth and Diane looked at her in pity, they grab a hold of her hand as a way to comfort her. They pulled her close and hugged her, "It'll be alright." Diane said. "But I'm afraid that if I see him, I might join him because I love him. I'll betray the sins!" Lilian cried out.

"Hey don't say that! Whatever you'll choose we'll understand." Diane said and smiled, "That's right!" Elizabeth reassures. Lilian looked at them and smiled as well "You guys are the best." Lilian said and they all laughed happily. "Oh by the way Princess, you may call me Lilian. Lady Lilian is what they use to call me." Lilian mentions, Elizabeth got confused "Used to? But you're still the Fairy Queen right?" Elizabeth asked.

"True, but I'm no longer queen since the current fairy king isn't my husband." Lilian answers. "But-" Lilian cuts Diane off by raising her hand at her "No buts Diane," Lilian said and booped her nose, Diane pouted. Elizabeth was still having doubts "If that's what you wish La- I mean Li-Lilian." Elizabeth said, Lilian, smiles "Then you may also call me Elizabeth." Elizabeth says.

"If that's what you wish, Elizabeth," Lilian said and they all giggled once more. Lilian then notices a boy "Hey isn't that the younger brother of that Holy Knight Guila?" Lilian points out to Zeal, "Oh hey Zeal! What are you doing here? Where's Guila?" Diane asks. Zeal looked at her confused "Guila? Who's that?" Zeal asked, "What do you mean, isn't Guila your older sister?" Lilian said. Zeal looked confused again clutched his hair, Lilian, Elizabeth, and Diane looked at each other in worry. Lilian carried Zeal and they went to find Guila.

They saw her with Gowther, "Guila!" Diane called out. "Something's wrong with Zeal." Diane points out, Lilian puts Zeal down. "Who's that?" Guila asked "What do you mean? Zeal is your brother right?" Diane answered, "But I don't have a little brother." Guila says, Diane, Lilian, and Elizabeth were surprised.

Lilian glared at Gowther "What did you do Gowther?" Lilian demanded, "I manipulated their memories." Gowther answered. "Why?" Diane said, "It was both a necessary action and process for me, to build a relationship with Guila I concluded that Zeal's existence was not needed." Gowther explained, "Why would you want a relationship with Guila?" Lilian asked, "I want a very heart of my one, one that could comprehend emotions." Gowther answered.

Lilian, Diane, and Elizabeth were surprised, then Gowther explained how he attempted to learn friendship from Meliodas and Ban, but Gowther concluded that he observed another emotion. And that was Love. Then he decided to study love rather than friendship, Diane tells him that he can't just replace Guila's memories, that her memories of her brother are precious.

"Elizabeth, Lilian, bring the Captain or Merlin here." Diane said, "But Diane..." Elizabeth doubted, "No time for debate Elizabeth let's go." Lilian said "Right." The Princess responded. Then both of them went to get help, "I won't let you stand in my way." Gowther said and attempted to stop us, Diane stopped him but he used his other hand to shoot.

Lilian deflected it and continued running, "That's quite enough Gowther." Diane said. "If you keep this up, then we're gonna have a huge problem," Diane stated. Gowther agreed so he uses a spell to knock out any person with low spirits. Elizabeth faints and Lilian catches her, "Elizabeth?" Lilian said in worry.

"This is Gowther's..." Lilian muttered. The battle between Diane and Gowther continues, "If they do this now the damage would be severe." Lilian said to herself. "I have to get Meliodas and Merlin, but I can't leave Elizabeth like this," Lilian said and thinks for a while. Then she saw Meliodas and Merlin, both noticed them, and approached them. "It's Gowther," Lilian said so Meliodas can know who did this. "Elizabeth, come on snap out of it," Meliodas said attempting to wake her up.

Elizabeth awakens "Sir Meliodas, Lilian." Elizabeth said, "But how did I end up here?" She asks, "Gowther made the whole kingdom blackout." Meliodas explains, "This is bad, Sir Gowther and Diane are..." Elizabeth said and a wave of light emerges "Over there." Meliodas said and runs there along with Lilian, Elizabeth, and Merlin. "Diane are you alright?" Meliodas said, "Captain didn't think I'd see you here." Diane said, Lilian checks if Zeal or Guila had sustained any injuries.

"Good, no injuries," Lilian said and sighed in relief, then her gaze went to Gowther. Meliodas approached him and asked him if he realizes what he did. Knowing it will be alright, Lilian gazes away from them. Gowther restored Guila and Zeal's memories, "I meant you no harm." Gowther says. I and Meliodas smacked him in the head, "Right I apologies, if I had one I would say I'm sorry from the very bottom of my heart." He said.

Guila didn't blame him for what happened and thanked him for giving back the memories she had of his father then said Goodbye, "I got dumped." Gowther said. Then Slader appears and asked what happened, "Slader, One of The Roars of Dawn perfect timing. I have a favor to ask of you." Merlin announced, "The only orders that guy follow are from the King himself." Meliodas said.

Slader comes down and bowed to Merlin, "Your wish is my command." Slader stated. "Slader, what's up? Does Merlin have any dirt on you?" Meliodas asked, Slader, explained how amazed he was with Merlin's performance in the battle of Liones, and asked her if he can call her Big Sister, "Call me what you will." Merlin responded, "Now what is it that you wish?" Slader said.

"Gowther come here," Merlin called him, Gowther approached her and used absolute cancel on him. Turns out he was a doll, "Interesting." Lilian said Merlin entrusted him to Slader. All of us returned to the Boar Hat and discussed some things, "Captain, did you know about this? I mean about Gowther?" Diane asked, "Nope just found out today." Meliodas said. "So what he said about getting a heart was true after all, I had doubts about it," Lilian said.

Meliodas grinned, "No matter who or what he was, he still our friend isn't he? And one of the Seven Deadly Sins right?" Meliodas said, Diane, smiled "You certainly are a lucky guy, Gowther." Slader said. Meliodas asked if Slader could come with them since there missing two, Slader agrees and Elizabeth asked Meliodas if she could come too. "I told you before the battle for Liones is finally over so there is no reason for you to be put in danger anymore." Meliodas said, "I thought we were in this together! Am I the only one who felt that way?" Elizabeth said.

"Or am I nothing more than baggage laying you down?" Elizabeth asked, "Exactly." Meliodas said Diane and Hawk punched him and Elizabeth went outside. Slader went out and talked to her, "Geez sometimes you're words can hurt," Lilian said Meliodas sat up and looked at Lilian, "By the way Lilian, what are you gonna do once you face him?" He asked.

"No idea," Lilian said and Melidas only nodded, suddenly Lilian sensed something. Merlin's sacred treasure sensed it too. "What was that?" Slader asked once they were inside, "Our original plans have been changed we're going to Camelot, I've sensed a surge of a powerful being there." Merlin said, "Wait we're going now?" Diane asked and just like that, they are transported to Camelot.
