Elizabeth POV

Once we were outside, Ban moved Y/n to his shoulders and we started off in the direction of the boars hat.

She fiddled with Ban's hair as we walked and I silently waited for him to yell at her or even throw her off but, he didn't.

"So Y/n" said king, floating up so they were at eye level, "what have you been up to the past ten years?"

"oh ya know." she said, suddenly seeming a lot more shy, "playing music. Helping people. The usual. what about you guys?"

"Ban was in prison, I run a tavern now, Diane was in the woods, and King was just bumming around pretty much."

"So we're still searching for Gowther, Merlin, and Escanor?" she asked and meliodas nodded.

"Why are you bringing us back together miss Elizabeth?" she called over her shoulder, catching me off guard.

"It's princess actually." I found myself saying, "and I need the seven deadly sins help to save the kingdom."

"Eight actually." said meliodas.

"What?" I asked, confused.

"Eight deadly sins." said King, "only for some reason, no one remembers the eighth."

"Must have been Gowther trying to protect her troublesome ass." muttered ban before Y/n smacked the top of his head.

"Language!" she said disapprovingly, "Also My lady, I find it quite admirable that you are risking yourself for your subjects. The people must love you."

"I certainly hope so." I nodded, "I am only trying to help."

"well you've got my stamp of approval!" she smiled, shooting me a thumbs up.

not that it matters I found myself thinking.

"so Y/n," I began, trying to disregard the intrusive thoughts with conversation, "who are you?"

"I am the rabbits sin of silence." she said.

"How is silence a sin?"

"being a bystander and not helping those in need is what the sin actually is but silence sounds better and makes just as much sense."

"Oh." I nodded, "I see. So your powers are getting people inspired enough to act?"

"Not exactly" laughed meliodas.

"What do you mean?"

"Well," began Y/n conversationally, "I can get people to act just not because I've inspired them, although that would be a lot nicer. I can control peoples minds when I sing, that's what I was doing back there, altering bits of peoples minds to help them."

"really?" I said doubtfully, "isn't that bad?"

"No." said meliodas, "she is just being modest. She can't just control peoples minds but heal all wounds, emotional and physical. She is quite possibly the strongest sin, even more powerful that gowther or merlin."

"oh stop it captain, I'm not all that- diane!" cried Y/n, interrupting herself and vaulting off of Ban's shoulders before sprinting off towards the shadow of a seated giant against the dark sky.

"Man I missed the little rascal." laughed Ban, scratching his head.

"Me too." nodded king, "she makes us a family instead of just friends."

"come on, let's go catch up with her." smiled meliodas, "We don't want to miss their reunion.
