(Young)Zeldris POV

"Meliodas, wait. I can't run that fast" I tried to say when me and Meliodas were on our way to training. "Then you should become faster, Zeldris. I can't alway wait for you. One day you have so do it yourself because I won't he here then" Meliodas said and waited for me. When I finally was with Meliodas he patted me in my head and lifted me up.

I must admit that I like to be the youngest of us three but sometimes it can be boring because Meliodas or Estarossa is almost never home. "Well, Zeldris. You turn 16 soon. Anything you want for your birthday?" Meliodas asked and I was shocked that he remember that I'm turning 16 soon. "I wish that you and Estarossa could be home for once. You two are out on mission all the time. And I hate it" I said.

"I can see what we can do. But I can't promise anything" Meliodas said and opened the door to where we usually trained. But now we were not alone. "There you are prince Meliodas, Prince Zeldris" Cusack said and looked over to us. "Where is Chandler? And who is she" Meliodas asked Cusack while pointing to the young girl. "That is Diamond. One of the new soldiers. Your father asked me if I could train her a little bit" Cusack said.

"Hey, I'm Diamond. It's a pleasure to meet you prince Meliodas and prince Zeldris" she said and bowed to us. "It is okay. You don't need to do that every time if you are trainer to become a soldier" I said to her. I must say this, she was kinda cute. "But why are you training her and not the general for the soldiers?" I asked and looked over to Cusack. "She is young but good. If I must say, she is better than you Zeldris" Cusack said.

What did he say? "Did you just say that my brother is a weak demon? Well I guess you are right" Meliodas said and pushed me. I wanted to hit Meliodas back but I can't do that now that there is a girl here.

Is my brother okay? He usually hits me back after I assault him. "But I have to go now. It was nice to meet you prince Meliodas and Prince Zeldris" Diamond said before leaving with Cusack. Now was my time.

"Are you okay brother?" I asked Zeldris and felt a punch in my side. "There you have for saying bad things about me" he said and got his sword out. "You like her, don't you" I said getting my sword out. "Why would I ever like her. She looks weak and I don't have a plan on getting a girl friend because one day I will take the throne and when I have that I can look after someone" Zeldris said and I laughed.

"Am not blind brother. You love her and you just meet her. If not you would have hit me earlier. And I won't blame you, she is cute" I said getting on my brothers nerves. "Now I know what I wish for to my birthday. You and Estarossa to shut up about her. I know that you will tell him" Zeldris said and started to attack me. He is right, I will tell Estarossa.

"Les talking and more training. Your weak little brother" I said and began fighting against him. After training we were walking back to the castle to get some food and take a bath. "If you won't take her I will" I said while we were walking back. "Take her if you want. I won't stop you, but I think you are a little bit to old for her, maybe Estarossa will try" Zeldris said and that hurt I must admit. "But what is the real reason" I asked getting serious.

"You don't have anything with that to do. And can't you just be a nice brother now? Don't irritate me and I will be nice back" he said throwing me far away from him. Lucky I have my wings.

Meliodas pov

"Estarossa. Could you train with Zeldris today. I need to fix something" I asked Estarossa. "Why can't you. I don't want to get weaker because of him" he said and I could feel my anger. "He is stronger than you and he need to know how more about other stuff too. I am stronger than you but you have better magic then me. So please" I said while Estarossa got up on his feet.

"The only person who can be stronger than me is you, not Zeldris" Estarossa said and walked away. Well, now Estarossa was gone and would take Zeldris with him. Now I need to get Diamond here without any of my brothers noticing her. Who can i ask or get to do it? "Cusack" I said to myself and ran out of the room to find Cusack. "Oh, Lord Meliodas. I why aren't you training with your brothers" Chandler asked.

"I am doing something for Zeldris. And since I found you and not Cusack. Could you sneak a girl in the castle and not say anything to Estarossa or Zeldris?" I asked and saw how disappointed Chandler was. "Who is this girl you want to come" he asked. "Her name is Diamond. She is training to become a soldier. Zeldris have fallen for her and I want to suprice him" I said. "But what will Zeldris say then? What if he doesn't like it" Chandler said.

"He have been alone his whole life. I want that to stop. That is why, if he likes it or not. He can't be out fighting before he has control of himself. That can take a while befor happens. So what better than to get him a friend for his birthday" I said. "When did you become kind to anyone" Chandler said. "Do it or I'll get father to make you do the worst job here" I said and Chandler walked away. "Okay my lord" he said while he was walking down the corridor.

Diamond pov

I heard a knock on my door. Who could it be, I didn't invite anyone over because I wanted to rest since it was Friday. But I walked to the door and opened it. "Can I help you?" I asked the old looking man. "Sorry to disturb, but are you Diamond? The young soldier under Cusack's trainign" the man asked and I nodded slowly. How did he know that? "Well, my name is Chandler and I am here to take you to the castle. Prince Meliodas ordered me" he said.

What would Meliodas want with me? Have I done something wrong? "Could you give me a few minutes. I just want to take my backpack with me" I said and Chandler nodded to me. I walked inside and grabbed my backpack and filled it with some clothes, just in case something happens. When I walked outside I saw that Chandler wasn't alone. "Cusack, what are you doing here?" I said and saw that he smiled at me. "Zeldris asked if I could get you. But I guess that Meliodas also wants you" Cusack said and turned his back to us and walked away. "Cusack, Meliodas said the he wanted to suprice Zeldris" Chandler said.

Why would Meliodas want me to suprice Zeldris. I don't even like him. No way, could Zeldris like me? "Chandler, you can tell why Meliodas wants to suprice Zeldris with me" I said and started walking.

"I was walking in the corridor so I could join the others at training. But then I saw Meliodas and started to talk with him. When I talked with him he said that he and Estarossa would leave soon and they could not take Zeldris with them. Meliodas didn't want Zeldris to be alone and since you are close to the castle training you would be a good friend for Zeldris.. that is what Meliodas told me" Chandler said. "So Meliodas wants me to be a friend to Zeldris. I can do that" I said and looked up. It was the castle.

"Now you have to get to your room here. I will get a maid to follow you to your room and that" Chandler said and walked away then a young girl came walking towards me. "You must be Diamond. My name is Alice. But you can call me what ever you want, and I will be your maid here" she said. And showed me where my room would be. "Here is your room, it's right next to Prince Zeldris so it will be easy to find" she said and opened the door. "Wow, it's bigger then my home" I said and heard Alice laugh in the background. "I'll leave you alone for a bit so you can change and that" she said but I can't be alone here. "Wait. Can you stay? I want to talk" I said and she walked to the door just so she could close it.

"Can you tell me something about Zeldris? Or about anyone here. And how old are you?" I asked. "I am not that old. I am only 10 but my father work for the king and then I got to live here for a while. Or until my father is dead. And for Zeldris, he is kind and want to be the best for those he care about. He may be cold but yea. Estarossa, he is one that don't really care about anyone. Meliodas, he want what he can't get but also live his younger brothers even if he is mean to them all the time" she said.

"But you must be someone special if Meliodas and Zeldris want you here" she also said. I can't be that special. Before I could ask about one more thing someone was knocking on my door. "Yes" I said and the door opened. "Zeldris?" I say and he walk into my room. "Alice, you can leave. I want to talk to diamond. Alone" he said and Alice did just what she was told to, walks outside and closed the door. " what do you want Prince Zeldris" I asked getting nervous. "I want to get to know you" he said and after that we just talked for the rest of the day.

———————200 years later———————

Diamond pov

I have known Zeldris for 200 years now and I have become his girlfriend. But I don't really like him. I only uses him to get closer to becoming one of the Ten Commandments. So far it is working. "Diamond. Can I talk to you" I heard Meliodas say and I turn around to see him. "What's wrong" I ask and walk towards him.

Meliodas pov

Now I have the chance to say that she only used my brother to become stronger and get what she wants. "I know what you have been doing. Using my brother to get what you want and become stronger" I said. Knowing her secret. "So you figured it out. What a smart boy you are. But Zeldris will never believe you and as long as I am here he will only listen to me and not you or anyone. And soon zeldris will become the end demon king and kill you guys. But I'll make a deal with you. If you can kill me after I get my commandment you win, but then I only want one thing in return. That you seal the others and betrayed the demon clan before you do it" she said.

Is she joking? I can't betray my own people. But I can't let her destroy my brother and the demon clan. "Okay its a deal. But if you hurt my brother before that I will kill you and don't do anything of the deal" I said and walked away from her.

"Nobody hurts my brother except me. I am the only one who gets to do it"
