Melody's P.O.V
I yawned as we waited for the gates to open. I was riding side saddle on a horse to Arthur's right. The gate then opened to reveal Hendy!
"I am one of the great holy knights of the kingdom of liones, Hendrickson. I have been informed that you are the king of a southern kingdom. However, are you not forgetting common courtesy by arriving without even sending a messenger?" Hendy scowled.
"I do apologize for my rudeness. I had some business to attend to in the area, and wanted to stop here on the way..." Arthur explained.
"While leading an army...?" Oh Hendy you have no idea.
"I didn't think I would be granted an audience without doing something like this..."
"What?" Merlin the clicked making the army vanish. "...You got us on this one."
I then begun fidgeting.
"I am the king of Camelot, Arthur Pendragon. I am indebt to the king of liones, and came here to repay him. Please grant me an audience with the king. Please stop fidgeting. I know you don't like being kept waiting." Arthur then asked me as I stilled watching.
"Unfortunately, the king has suddenly fallen ill, and is resting... I am afraid I will have to ask you to leave for today." Hendy tried to get us to leave when I felt Meliodas, Ban, Diane and Gowther.
"No way." I murmured quietly smirking under my hood, "So that's why they don't want us here."
I turned and smiled as I watch Arthur's reaction. I know Merlin heard me but I'm unsure about the rest.
"Then we have all the reason not to leave." Hendy looked alarmed for a minute there. "This person can cure the king of his sickness. Please, take us to the king!!"
"We appreciate your kindness, but the kingdom's finest mages are treating the king with everything they have. Please, leave."
"I see..." Arthur murmurs taking his helmet off, showing that adorable, dorky smile of his. "That won't do!!" I then let out a giggle at Arthur's antics.
"I beg your pardon?" Hendy asked.
"Sir Hendrickson, it seems that... you have some matter on your hands that is forcing you to deny entry to any outsiders. Then we shall lend a hand in solving that problem!!" I laughed harder before squeaking and moving my hands in front of my face as Merlin made a rock fly at me.
"I'll stop!" I squeak.
"No need to fight you two. It's alright for her too laugh, you know that." He said directing the second bit at Merlin.
"You just saved my life." I murmured. We were then granted entry.
I walked beside Arthur as Merlin hovered. Me and Merlin still had our cloaks up for obvious reasons.
"Lord Arthur... Earlier, you said... you have some matter on your hands that is forcing you to deny entry to any outsiders... What did you mean by that?" Hendy asked.
"Oh, that was just a hunch!! I've always had good instincts." Arthur laughed.
"A brat with no sense of humour... There is no way you'd agree to lend a hand in solving that problem without knowing anything about it. What are you after?"
"Not telling."
"Gowther..." I murmured getting lost in thought. That was rewrite light I felt just now.
"No annoying comment?"
"Hey, you alright?" Arthur asked and I looked at Hendy.
"He's gunna try and kill us." I laughed.
"Hey, hey... What's all this about?" Arthur asked as what I said came true.
"Foreign messengers are assassinated all the time... Even if that messenger is a king." A woman then teleported behind Hendy. I recognise her magic though.
"Hendrickson, we've collected the last piece... Oh... What's going on here? Should I lend a hand?"
"No... More importantly where is the piece?"
"It's locked up in the underground dungeon. Or would it have been better to take it directly to the ritual chamber...?"
"The seven deadly sins have already entered the capital. Prevent them from taking the piece at all costs."
"They're already here? How... I'll do it."
"Elizabeth?" I questioned to myself.
"Well then, take care of yourself, little boy and scrawny magician." She said and a dagger appeared lodged in the wall behind where she once stood.
"You have quite the fast arm. Girl." Hendy hissed at me.
"A teleportation technique. Was that a Liones magician?"
"There's no need for you to know." Hendy then hit Arthur.
"Arthur!" I yelled.
"Great holy knight Hendrickson...!!"
"...Arthur Pendragon. It seems you're not just a king in name."
"So this is the great holy knight of liones... Maybe I was too quick to judge you."
"We'll back you up, sir!!"
"Your opponents are behind you." They turned to me and Merlin.
Time skip
Once done with them we went to help Arthur. Merlin put out the fire on his shoulder while I drew my sword. I didn't need it for those other guys but Hendy was always an interesting opponent to me.
"Pain." I hissed and a cut appeared on his cheek.
"So it is you. Sins of love, Melody."
"Pain." I said again a little louder pouring a little more magic into it. This continued for a little while as the cuts got bigger and bigger while he was immobile when suddenly everything went dark.
----------------------------------------------------------------
I awoke to the feeling of being moved around. I opened my eyes to find myself in Arthur's arms in a dark hallway.
There were a group of holy knights and a beat up guy.
"You're awake." I looked up at Arthur's goofy face as tears fill my eyes. "Hey don't cry."
"I'm sorry. I'm so sorry." I cried out shaking.
"Don't be." I felt a hand on my head and looked up at Merlin. "You did very well, especially seeing who you were protecting." She whispered in my ear as I turned bright red. I then hid my face in Arthur's chest embarrassed.
"What did you say to her?" king asked.
"Simply the truth." She smirked.
"You're so mean Merlin!" I complained.
"What did she say to you?" Arthur asked looking down at me in such a cute manner. My face turned even more red.
"Sorry Melody's not available. Please come back later." I said shoving my head into the bit where his neck meets his shoulder.
They spoke and I wriggled out of Arthur's grasp.
"If I feel up to it." Meliodas said when Arthur asked him to the grand holy knight master of Camelot. "So Merlin, Melody. Are you gunna join the seven deadly sins again?"
"If I feel up to it." Merlin said teleporting us away.
