The Story Continues

'I have to keep moving,' a girl said as she stumbled through the forest thinking of the mission her farther gave to her 'I have to find the Eight Deadly sins, farther trusted me,' this girl was Elizabeth Liones the third princess of Liones.

"I heard there is a sin nearby," a man yelled out scaring the girl "if we find one, we will be paid loads for our help to the Holy Knights,"

"Yea, that way the knights will also leave our village alone," another man said.

'No, I can't be caught now, I just got out,' Elizabeth thought as she saw a cave entrance 'I should hide in there and wait until they pass,' as she went into the cave making sure that no-one heard her.

She had stopped near the entrance waiting to hear to see if the voices were getting closer, as they got closer Elizabeth without thinking headed into the cave only to stumble upon what seemed to be a house. There was a wooded door and door frame that prevented her from going deeper. Out of desperation she knocked on the door.

"Hello," a man with a short beard peeked round the door he seemed to have lived in this cave and never left the cave "how can I help you?"

"Hi, erm, is it possible for me to come in?" Elizabeth said scared for his response "you see, I don't want to be found by the holy knights,"

The man looked at her troubled "why? What have you done to get their attention?"

Elizabeth gulped hoping what she said next would allow her to enter "I am looking for the eight deadly sins," she closed her eyes ready for the man to close the door in her face.

"Okay," he said as he opens the door to allow her in as she stood there amazed that he let her in.

"Thank you, sir," as she entered, the house was not like on the outside, it was very well done, there was many decorations in the very large room, even a giant blue box hidden in the corner, she had expected there to be a fire pit a tatty bed and nothing else, but even the beds looked like something someone would have if they were, not rich, but not poor, there was actually five of them "are you the only one here?"

"Yes," Elizebth looked sad with the man response "but, that doesn't bother me,"

"It must be lonely," seeing that the man was dreaded in with a red vest and a black trench coat going down to his legs and wearing black trousers with what looked to be an empty sword case, but she could see that the sword was hanging on the wall, it was black with a nice red pattern going along the blade edges and a red handle.

"Heh, yea it is," the man paused as if he was thinking of something "would you like something?"

"Yes," she said as her stomach began to growl.

The man laughed at the girl's embarrassment, and he went to a cupboard and pulled out some food, he placed the meat on the fire pit in the center of the room, as the meat sizzled the two stayed in silence.

"Mister," the man looked at the girl "I don't think you told me your name,"

The man paused for a second, as if he tried to remember it, "you know, it is not right to ask someone's name without telling them theirs," the man said looking at the food waiting for it to be ready.

"Oh, sorry, my name is Elizabeth Liones," the man looked at her for a second as he looked at the food that was almost done, "what is yours?"

The man had handed her a plate with some food on it, "here, it might be not what a princess is used to but here you go."

Elizabeth was shocked, how did he know she was a princess "how did you?"

"Your name," the man said, "there is only one family with the name Liones, and that is the royal family of Liones,"

"I see," the girl looked down at the food as she was about to eat it.

"Recommendation," the girl look at him with a mouth full "don't tell people your name if you are running from the Holy Knights, it will make their job way easier to find you," the girl looked down in sorrow, he was right, she was way too careless when talking to him, she wanted to know his name, so she was so open to telling him hers. The man laughed, catching her attention "your lucy I am running from them too,"

"Why what did you do?" she said in shock, the man was so nice, what could he have done.

"Now, why would I just willingly tell you that?"

"You wouldn't,"

The man sighed "how about this, you tell me why you are looking for, erm, what was it again,"

"The eight deadly sins,"

"Yea, you tell me why you are looking for them, and then I will tell you why I am running,"

"Okay," the girl looked as if she was struggling to answer, "my farther, King Bartra, wanted me to find the sins to help free my kingdom," the man sat in silence as she continued "the Holy Knights have taken the kingdom and have made it so that innocent lives are going to be put through suffering,"

"Okay, but if I am correct, the sins are criminals, there is no way that the sins would help you reclaim the kingdom that they tried too over through, am I wrong?"

"Maybe, but my father promised me that they are not criminals of Liones, so if they were to help the king have control again, my home will be free," the man looked down at the floor as he finished of the meat "so, please can you tell me yours, I could try to help you,"

"Well, I guess a deal was a deal, okay I will tell you," Elizabeth waited eagerly as the man looked at the ceiling of the cave, "I should start at the beginning, I was actually a holy knight of Liones," this caught her off guard, "me and my friends were framed for a crime that we never committed,"

"What was the crime?"

"The death of the grand master,"

Elizabeth was shocked, "are you?"

A Smile grew across the man's face "allow me to properly introduce myself, I am one of the eight deadly sins, this sin of despair, the ape sin, (Y/N),"

Elizabeth was in shock, this was the ape sin, one of the eight deadly sins, "please Sir (Y/N), please can you help me reclaim Liones from the Holy Knights," standing up hoping that he would agree.

(Y/N) just smiled "you will better believe I will, it is about time the gang got back together,"

"Do you know were any of the other sins are?"

(Y/N) just stood in silence, "nope," Elizabeth fell to the floor at his response, "but I am sure we can find them,"

"Yea," Elizabeth said then see realized something 'depending on what my response was I going to be kicked you out,' Elizabeth gulped at the thought? "But now that I think about it, how are we going to find clues on the other sins were abouts?"

"I thought you might ask that, I regularly head to the nearby village to see if I can find any information,"

"Wait why would you go to the nearby village? Isn't too dangerous for you,"

"This is why," (Y/N) said holding his wanted poster, Elizabeth looked at it and saw that it looked like an old man that looked to be in his fifties, but (Y/N) looked as if he was in his twenties, "they are looking for the man in the poster, and now that I don't look like him, and haven't for quite some time, I am able to walk in there and no-one will know that it is me,"

"That is impressive Sir (Y/N),"

"By the way princess, don't use sir for me,"

"But that-"

"You have no need to call me sir,"

"o-okay, then you can call me Elizabeth,"

"Now hold on, I can't-"

"I insist,"

"Okay... Elizabeth,"

The two had headed off to Cain's village, it was not very popular with the tourists, but there was one thing that had caught (Y/N)'s eye as they entered the village, and that was the new building on the cliff. But (Y/N) was here a day ago and there was no construction of the building. This was when he told Elizabeth to head back to the cave handing her a key to the house.

"Why are you telling me to head back," Elizabeth asked in her new outfit that (Y/N) had so she could get out of her damaged clothes, it was not great, but was better than what she was wearing.

"I am going to investigate that building," (Y/N) whispered to her.

"shouldn't I come with you?"

"No, but I will come back, okay,"

"Okay," Elizabeth said as she headed off to the cave.

As Elizabeth was out of sight, (Y/N) began to head up the hill to visit this new construct to investigate the building, "now then, let's see if the rumor is true."
