"Apparently, the Aprasion army that's lead by the Wrath Sin, Meliodas, can't find the girl."
"Seriously? It's been like, what? Two weeks since the sins disbanded and started to fight one another?"
"Yeah, and some villagers are starting to get scared. You heard what happened to the village out there in the West, right?"
"Heard they were raided by some army called the Lakmi. Must be lead by the Sin of Greed, Ban."
"Whoever this girl is better go through hell for what happened to those villagers!"
Yeah, I want to go through hell. Now, I wish I truly had instead of my soal being sealed away. Sighing, I chug another glass of beer as the man who was talking about the raid continued to talk even more.
"Though, did you hear about the Livius army that's lead by the Sin of Envy, Diane?"
"What about it?"
"Apparently their siding with the Dafi army that the Sin of Sloth, King controls."
"Dang, though why are they siding together"
"The Aquinas army controlled by the Sin of Gluttony, Merlin, seems to be starting to advance to the Livius army, and so their leader also saw that the Aquinas are also going to attack the Dafi army, and so now they are both joining teams until a winner comes out."
"The Kian army led by the Sin of Pride, Escanor, and the Belial army lead by the Sin of Lust, Gowther, seem to both be staying still. Both are not even making a move yet."
That's good, at least two of them are staying still. Pulling out five silver coins I placed them down onto the table and made sure that my hood was covering my face before I walked out to the empty and silent streets.
I continued walking until I finally arrived at the new house that I got and pulled out my key and inserted it inside and turned it to the left and pushed open my door and walked in, though I took out my keys first.
Looking around the rather empty house I sighed and walked in. Walking down the small in size hallway I got to my door and opened it and threw my hood to the floor and yawned.
"Today was rather tiring. I never thought that gathering information could be so tiresome." I whispered to myself and plopped down onto my bed, a creaking sound is heard whenever I turned my position on the bed.
This is... to say... not how I wanted things to turn out. Why do they even want to fight to get me? Love? Bullshit, I don't believe it for a second. Though, Meliodas has gotten control over the demon army while I'm here, their new queen, laying down on a crummy bed while looking up at a peeling ceiling. Very royal-like.
"My queen, I have returned." Hearing the familiar voice of Estorassa I quickly got up from my laying position and faced the open window that showed Estorassa with multiple cuts littering his skin.
"What happened to you? Wait, don't answer that. First, we have to heal your wounds and then I can pack up for us to leave this place." I rambled one sentence to another, both barely complimenting each other in terms of similarity.
Pulling him down onto the bed gently I grabbed a piece of cotton from the pillowcases and shaped it and grabbed my smallest pocket knife and imbedded the cotton on the small pocket knife and grabbed some alcohol and ribbed off a piece of my clothing.
"Tell me who did this to you and I will make sure they pay dearly." I darkly offered Estarossa making him smile and laugh. "I'll be fine, my queen. I know you can defend me whenever you please but right now I carry some important news." Estarossa stated as he sat down on the nearest chair from me and leaned closer towards me.
Glancing over at my amateur work of cleaning a wound I sighed and looked back up at Estorssa with my eyes shining with curiosity. "So, what's the news?" I questioned him. Clearing his throat Estarossa looked up at me with an anxious smile.
"You will have to defeat the Wrath Sin, Meliodas. He's trying to take back his crown and finally find you. Since he is of royal blood from the demon race this means he's trying to become king the demon race, meaning that he is threatening your position as their new queen." Estarossa informed me, his eyes glazing over with anger at the thought of his fake brother.
I hummed and laid back down onto the creaky bed as saw Estarossa pull out a piece of paper and doing something. "You know, you really have to go and reclaim your position as their new queen, and since they barely even know you I think that he has already done a good portion of the introductions and impressions." Estarossa commented as he looked back up at me and back down at his paper.
Getting up from my laying position I walked over towards Estarossa and peered over his shoulder to see my figure with some decorations on it, more specifically, armor.
"What's this for?" I questioned him, plopping down onto the ground and looking up at him. Estarossa looked over at me and smiled, handing over the piece of paper that he had. "This is a new armory that I was working on. I thought you would need something new than your current one." Estarossa answered me and looked back at the paper with pride in his eyes.
I furrowed my eyebrows and looked over at him and pouted, "What's so wrong with my current one?" I questioned him and saw amusement light upon his orbs. Clearing his throat Estarossa looked back at me. "I think it's too revealing, my queen. Besides, you're going to need some protection than the one you have now to be able to take down seven armies who are after your heart." Estarossa answered me, but he seemed to glare at the small cut that I got from running away from Ban.
I smiled, "I do think it's true. For some reason, a good 45% of my power was sealed away or something once I blacked out. So now I do think that we have to add as much protection as we can to my outfit." I agreed with him and glanced down at the half-done drawing and chuckled.
"My queen, if I may ask, where is your outfit right now?" Estarossa questioned me, his gaze now away from the piece of paper and now to me. I sighed, "It's in the closet, though be careful with it. I only have this white shirt and black pants with me right now." I warned him, but he only nodded his head happily and walked over to my closet, and pulled out my outfit.
"I'll be back, my queen, I just have to find the right materials for this." Estarossa quietly stated as he looked over the revealing get-up and shook his head. "Seriously, what's up with strong people and wearing very revealing clothing?" Estarossa whispered to himself and shook his head more.
"You know... I think it would be fun if we toyed with them a bit." I said randomly making Estarossa look up at me from him expecting the outfit. Estarossa raised an eyebrow and gave me a confused expression, tilting his head a bit.
"I mean, I could go inside their circles and cause some drama and stuff to be able to find out their weakness while I try to make an army." I suggested as I looked over at Estarossa to see him giving me a skeptic look.
"So... what you're proposing is that I can not always be by your side?" Estarossa asked me as I quickly looked away from him as he tried to get me to look at his face, though I shall not fall for those puppy dog eyes!
Yawning, I waved away for him to go if he wished and I went to go to sleep while Estarossa sighed and got on top of the bed and snuggled with me as I heard him sigh.
"This is not what I thought when I was resurrected, you know?" Estarossa whispered to me. I nodded, "Me too, man, me too."
It appeared we're are going to have to change location, I just hope that this will not be the last peaceful moment that I and Estarossa will ever have.
