04x09 - The Cursed Lovers

[bunniefuu]

Even if she tells me to search
for magical power befitting a king…

All I sense is

the Demons' magical power
and the presence of brainwashed Humans.

Orlondi!

Stop complaining, and keep searching!

Forgive me, Lady Merlin!

Where?

Where are you?

Is your body okay?

Yes.

Since my soul is tied to my body
by a forbidden technique,

it's nowhere near what it was before, but…

By the way, Diane, what's the situation
in the Fairy King's Forest?

Well, a lot happened,
but everyone is fine!

That's right.

King and I went to Britannia
, years in the past,

and we ran into the captain back then,

as well as an Elizabeth
who looked just like you!

This is a tale of ancient times,

when the human and non-human worlds
had not yet split.

The Ten Commandments,
the Demon Clan's elite troops,

have been released
from a , -year-old seal.

Their rule extends over all of Britannia,
and a dark age approaches.

After a deadly struggle, the Kingdom
of Liones drove back the Ten Commandments.

The counteroffensive to liberate Britannia
was about to begin.

Standing in that vanguard is the pride of
the kingdom, a legendary order of knights.

They're called the Seven Deadly Sins.

Another cup!

Gowther, you haven't been drinking at all!

Are you saying that
you can't drink my alcohol?

For the twelfth time,
I don't drink alcohol because I'm a doll.

Gowther, shush!

Not to mention, if you get drunk now,
I doubt you'll make it to tonight's party.

It's just that,

I want to fix this rift between us,
even a little bit, you know?

But I can't figure out what to say.

So you're getting help from alcohol?

Gowther, has your tongue
become sharper than before?

All I wanted was to have
a heart-to-heart talk with you for once!

By the way, the likelihood that you'll
recall this conversation one hour from now

is less than %.

Let me just say this one thing.

It's not as though
I've forgiven you for everything!

After all, you…

I know.

Now, now, King.

I don't like you.

But I did the same thing as you, and…

I keep misunderstanding.

I'm sorry.

King doesn't like me.

It's only natural.

I did a terrible thing
to someone dear to him.

It's all right.

King is kindhearted, after all.

I want to become a good doll.

If I can do that, maybe King
and the others in the Seven Deadly Sins

will come to like me.

Gowther, I do like you.

Thanks, Escanor.

Well, let's tend to King together.

Okay.

King, hold on tight, please.

I'm going to drink some more!

Such impudence!

To make me serve as your caretaker,
how dare…

Oh, dear, that was dangerous.

Whenever I remove these glasses
Merlin gave me, trouble ensues!

Are you all right?

You've had a bit too much to drink.

Lady Merlin, can I head back now?

What? It got dark all of a--

Who are you?

You're…

No!

I'm alive?

Arthur, where are you?

The cries of the people dancing
in the wind make our souls burn,

and the crimson blood
mixed with their tears stirs up justice.

We are the swords gathering
for justice, love, and our bond.

We are the Seven Deadly Sins.

Jeez, Meliodas!

You're drinking too much!

-Come on! Have some wine, too, Master!
-Are you going to be okay?

-You're drinking so much!
-Of course.

Why would anyone be interested in my poem?

Oh, Captain. I haven't seen Merlin yet.

She's probably absorbed
in one of her sketchy experiments.

I hope that's the case.

Would you mind if I went to…

Sorry I'm late.

Did you think that I was absorbed
in one of my sketchy experiments?

Well, you were absolutely right.

Lady Merlin, you've arrived.

Allow me to pour you a drink.

Thank you, Princess Elizabeth.

All seven of us are finally together!

All right, Captain!
Let's have another toast.

Yes!

Now then…

Once again,
to the Seven Deadly Sins' reunion.

Cheers!

-Cheers!
-Cheers!

All right, we're going to drink
like there's no tomorrow!

Hey, Gowther, I've been wondering
about this for a while,

but how did the Gowther who created you
end the Holy w*r?

Gowther ended the Holy w*r?

That's news to me.

I'm not sure what you mean by that,

but the Holy w*r ended
when the Goddess Clan

sacrificed themselves
to seal away the Demon Clan, right?

Then was he the one
who built the Coffin of Eternal Darkness?

No.

That was a product built by Dabuzu,
the great Giant craftsman.

I'm sorry.
I can't talk about it right now.

I don't know if I should talk about it.

I don't know if you'll understand
if I tell you, either.

Oh, I'm sorry.

I never meant to trouble you.

So, Gowther, where did you pick up
that cross-dressing habit?

That started years ago,

-when Bartra made me dress up like a girl!
-I wonder why,

but I can't get what Diane said
out of my mind.

An Elizabeth who looked exactly like me
was with Meliodas , years ago?

That's right.
I remember what Mr. Cain mentioned.

Liz was her nickname, you see.

She had the same name as you,
Princess Elizabeth.

She was Meliodas' girlfriend.

Is such a coincidence possible?

Besides Liz, there was a woman
named Elizabeth who looked just like me.

Why are you in such a daze?

If something's on your mind,
you can tell me.

See, they look like
they're having fun, King!

All right!

Wait, Diane…

I want to talk about something
when we're alone later.

Oh, sure.

-I'll bring some more alcohol.
-I'm a doll…

So you finally made Elizabeth mad?

Merlin?

I've written a new poem,
so would you like to…

I think I'm a little drunk.
Let's do that next time.

What?

You and the captain can outdrink everyone,
and you're drunk after a drink or two?

Don't lie!

Always the annoying drunk.

Ban, you're being rude!

I hope you haven't forgotten.

We still haven't defeated
all of the Ten Commandments.

What?

Zeldris of Piety.

If you carelessly provoke him,
you'll definitely be in trouble.

The one who wields the magical power
lent to him by the Demon King.

He called himself
the Demon King's surrogate.

The Demon King's surrogate?

So he's basically the most powerful Demon?

Our current goal is
to save the Holy Knights

and the residents of Liones
who are under his commandment's spell.

And to liberate Camelot!

Fighting can wait until later.

It's as the captain says.

We need to put together a detailed plan
and carry it out as a team.

That's all I have to say.

Well, good night, Merlin.

Yes.

All right! The night is still young!

Did Zeldris do this to you?

While you were focused on your search,
he caught you off guard, didn't he?

That's not like you at all.

What are you talking about?

You and I go back longer than anyone else.

It was completely obvious to me.

One more thing.

Your goal isn't to rescue the people
in the kingdom, liberate Camelot,

or defeat Zeldris.

It's to protect Arthur, isn't it, Merlin?

Meliodas, please.

I can't lose him.

To me, Arthur is hope itself.

Do you remember?
We always used to come here.

No.

So, Meliodas, I told you how
when Sir Zaratras cast that spell,

I saw you and myself years
in the past, right?

Liz passed away years ago.

Such a strange coincidence.

Mr. Cain told me about her.

Liz's full name was Elizabeth,
just like mine.

-You two are complete opposites, though.
-He said…

her appearance and voice
were identical to mine.

More than one coincidence can occur.

I heard that Diane and King had a similar
experience during their training.

They saw you with a girl named Elizabeth
who looked exactly like me.

Was that a coincidence, too?

I know what I'm thinking about is strange.

But if what I'm thinking is true, then--

Elizabeth, you look a little tired.

That's not all!

What are you doing here?

One of the Demon Clan,
who was sealed away , years ago…

Is it possible they would mistake me
for someone else the first time we meet?

Meliodas, if you know something,
I want you to tell me.

I have the resolve to accept anything.

Now then…

I can't think of anything!

I'm sorry.

You're right.

It's such a ridiculous story.

I'm heading back to the tavern now.

I…

trust you more than
anyone else in the world, okay?

I have the resolve to accept anything.

I don't, though.

Lady Elizabeth! Lady Merlin is…

She has a high fever.

It's beyond my capabilities.

I'll try anyway.

The princess has such power?

Lady Elizabeth's magical power is similar
to the Druids', but not the same.

It's like something out of a fairy tale.

Such a dark magical power,
like a pitch-black sea.

Now here's an unexpected guest.

You're one of the Ten Commandments…

I was wondering who would dare
interfere with my magical power.

It's been a while, Elizabeth.

How do you…

Such a pathetic woman.

What do you mean?

So you're still going to make
my older brother Meliodas suffer,

cursed Goddess Elizabeth?

Older brother?

You're…

Meliodas's younger brother?

I'm a Goddess?

For , long years,

you lose the memories
of your previous life each time you die,

and you meet Meliodas every time
you're reincarnated, multiple times.

The number of times
is not merely or times.

Reincarnated?

Then the woman
who was with Meliodas , years ago…

Of course, it was you.

Why are you so delighted?

It's like a dream.

What I was hoping for is actually true.

I was always with Meliodas.

You don't know how--

…much that's making him suffer?

What?

I'm making him suffer?

How?

Meliodas has always been by my side.

I want to remember.
All of the time that I spent with him.

All the words he whispered in my ear.

I see. Then remember everything!

And when you do,
you'll realize how sinful you are!

What happened?

It seems I was careless and was captured
by Zeldris's magical power.

If Princess Elizabeth hadn't
broken through the magical power,

it would've been bad.

Allow me to express my gratitude.

Elizabeth did…

I should thank you, too, Escanor.

Oh, no, I didn't do anything.

Elizabeth, are you all right?

I'm fine.

Just a little tired.

Elizabeth?

I'd like to get some air, alone.

Captain, what did you do to her?

There seemed to be some commotion
up there, but did something happen?

What's wrong, Elizabeth?

Do you have a headache?
Or do you have the runs?

No, that's not it.

It's just…

I'm so happy!

So I'm the reincarnation of the Elizabeth
from , years ago?

You've already talked to the captain
about this, right?

Yes, but he tried to brush it off.

Maybe there's a reason
he doesn't want you to remember?

A reason?

You have to remember, no matter what!
I'll support you all the way, okay?

Hey, Captain.

Sorry, but can you let me out
of this mission, just this once?

Yes, no problem.

What?

The one making the dimensional distortion
is most likely Melascula.

But if we defeat her…

Elaine is at her limit.

Even if we don't defeat Melascula,
she'll still eventually…

So I want to at least be with her
in her final moments.

Ban, I know how you--

Do you really?

What it feels like
to let the woman you love die twice?

Trouble! Meliodas!

Let me go, Diane!

What's wrong, Elizabeth?

I must let them know now!

-Barzad has been bitten by a werewolf!
-Your Highness?

Barzad? Who's that?

What's going on?

Oh, Meliodas!

I was told by the Order
that Barzad's in critical condition!

Don't tell me you…

Let me have a look.

Princess Elizabeth, do you know who I am?

It's been a long time, Merlin.

I almost didn't recognize you,
you were so young, and now…

Are you still living by yourself
in Belialuin?

What's this?

Elizabeth.

Elizabeth? Your eyes are…

Will she be okay?

Merlin, do you know the cause of this?

It must be the effects
of having interfered

with Zeldris's magical power
when she broke the curse on me.

So now Elizabeth is under that curse?

No.

Elizabeth's memories
have started to return.

What? Her memories?

You mean from her previous life?

That's amazing!

Previous life? What are you talking about?

King, you'll definitely be surprised.

Elizabeth has been reincarnating
many times for the last , years!

What? No way!

Elizabeth told me that she wants to regain
her memories of her previous life, and--

Watch what you say, Diane!

What?

But why?

The captain's the mean one!

He intentionally ignored
what Elizabeth was telling him!

It's over now.

It won't take long
for her memories to return.

Once she regains all of her memories…

Elizabeth will die in three days.

ALL ABOUT ORLONDI

Orlondi, you're now a flying eyeball
who serves Merlin,

but apparently you used to be a Vampire.

What a rude pig!

I am Vampire royalty,
born to the Mother of Chaos!

Yes, that damn Merlin
bosses me around for now, but one day--

Merlin!

Next time on
The Seven Deadly Sins: Wrath of the Gods,

"The Life We Live."

Lady Merlin, please give me
something to do for you!
