Chapter One

"Yo Ban, hurry up with that order or I'll have to cook it myself!"

"Cap'n, if I let you anywhere near this kitchen there will be no more orders for food!" Ban replied with a sing song voice. His ever present grin decorated his features as he shouted back, head popping out from the kitchen. Meliodas' only response was to chuckle as he served more ale for Elizabeth to deliver.

It was days like this she loved the most about travelling with the sins. Where the most exciting thing that happen was when a customer tried to pick up a fight with the blonde bar owner. Don't get her wrong, she loved going on adventures and defeating people who had harmed others, but there was something special about spending a peaceful day serving beer with Lord Meliodas and the other Sins. She felt like she belonged, like she was a normal girl having fun with her friends.

"Hey Elizabeth, you coming or what?" Diane told her while grabbing her arm and dragging her out of the tavern.

"Hmm? Sorry where are we going, Diane?" Asked Elizabeth not really having paid attention to what Diane had said due to being submerged in her own musings.

"To town silly!" Diane shot her a big bright smile, closing her purple eyes in glee. "I asked the Captain to let us go together into town to pick up the supplies for the Hat, since I'm small right now. It's been a while since the two of us had one of our girl talks." Diane beamed at her, while Elizabeth smiled softly. With that the two of them walked, chatting calmly to a small village a few meters away from the Boar Hat.

….

Once they reached the town entrance, they decided to split up in order to gather the supplies much more quickly. Elizabeth went towards a small square that held a market where they sold fresh fruits, and vegetables. Each stall brimmed with vibrant colours and friendly faces.

Elizabeth hummed to herself as she leaned over a crate of tomatoes, trying to pick the best ones out for the sins to eat.

"Watch out, Miss!" shouted a random passerby. The young royal turned towards the voice, but was met with a black object that crashed onto her. The silver haired princess closed her eyes, bracing herself for an imminent collision. She heard an ugly 'squawk' and felt a sharp pain at her right cheek.

"Get off her you damned bird! Shoo!" Screamed the stall owner, using her wrinkled hands to scare off the large crow. Elizabeth opened her eyes once more touching her fingertips to her cheek. A small blood droplet tainted her porcelain fingers.

"Elizabeth, are you alright?!" An alarmed Diane came rushing to her, holding her by the shoulders and examining her whole body.

"It's okay Diane. A bird just crashed into me is all. Nothing to worry about." The princess smiled at the reduced giant, effectively calming her down.

"Uff, thank god. The captain would have my butt if you got hurt!" Diane exclaimed, relief spreading over her. Elizabeth on the other hand, blushed pink at what Diane had just said. But before she could reply, the giantess said, "Let's go back, we don´t want any more bird attacks happening today, besides we already have all we need."

….

Meliodas was wiping the bar's tables happily, today had been a good day, he had fun with Elizabeth running the bar and they had earned lots of money. She was just full of joy today always smiling politely to the customer's, but even more brightly at him. Hers was a smile he would always protect, no matter the cost. It was the one thing he couldn't live without. That thought always kept him up at night. He depends too much on her, he couldn't fathom going back to a live without her. He was desperately in love with her he knew, but he would never admit it, the last time he was in love his wrath was unleashed. He swore all that death and destruction would never repeat itself, and he was a man of his word.

The blonde Sin was snapped out of his reverie when he heard the Boar's Hat door opened. In came his trusted comrade and next to her the woman who had recently become like oxygen to him, both carrying bags brimming with food and drink. They set their bags down and a small cut on Elizabeth's pearl white skin caught his eye.

He immediately walked over to her grabbing her chin softly tilting it to the left so that he could examine the injury better. His brows furrowed taking in every detail of her face.

"There's no need to worry Lord Meliodas, a bird crashed into me earlier and made this tiny cut. Please don't trouble yourself." The silverette felt the blood travel to her face due to the proximity between her and the sin of Wrath. Her eyes looking at the bar wildly, so as to not make eye contact with the handsome Captain. Her heart hammering away in her chest.

"Okay, if you say so. Just be sure to take care of yourself." I wouldn't bare seeing you get hurt. However those last words never left his mouth. This girl would be his undoing. He just knew.

…..

Far away, a dark crow landed on his master's hand. The shadowed man grabbed the silver hair at the crow's beak, placing it inside a small wooden box. He stashed the box away pulling out a handkerchief he wiped the animal's claw, tainting the white material red. He hid this away as well.

"You've done well my loyal servant. With this our plan will be set in motion."
