(Meliodas, meanwhile, has caught the woman herself... all the while groping her.)

Princess Elizabeth (not seeming too bothered by the groping): I don’t know how I can ever thank you for saving me not once -- but two times!

(Lizzy just nods.)

Hawk:
I’m telling you, lady, just feel free to haul off and punch him.

Scene 9

INT Outside--- Moments Later--- Day

Lizzy:
So why are you looking for the Seven Eight Sins, anyway?

Princess Elizabeth: I want to ask them to help me stop the Holy Knights.

Hawk:
Are you serious?! Why in the world would you do that?? The Holy Knights are the kings' men -- they're the Knights that protect Liones! Real heroes!

Princess Elizabeth: But what if they were the ones who were trying to start a war in our country? The other day, except for the king himself, the entire royal family was arrested, and is being held by the Holy Knights.

Hawk:
So does that mean... the King isn’t really sick in bed?

Princess Elizabeth: That’s just a cover story the Holy Knights are using. I don’t know what they can accomplish by driving the nation to war. But now, they are drafting the people of the kingdom. They are taking men wherever they can get them. They're preparing for war everywhere you look... soon, their reach will extend all the way out here.

Hawk:
That’s not good...

Lizzy (casual):
Yeah, tough break, hun.

Hawk (deadpan):
Wow, you really don’t have any empathy at all, do ya?

Lizzy:
So how does this tie in with the Seven Deadly Sins, again?

Princess Elizabeth: If there’s even a slightest sliver of hope preventing the Holy Knights from doing this, I know they’re the only ones who can.

Lizzy:
Just checking here... you're trying to find these people, even when you know what kind of people they are.

(A flashback shows the Seven Deadly Sins, all clad in different suits of armor.)

Princess Elizabeth: The Eight Deadly Sins... the most vile order of Knights the kingdom ever produced, made up of seven blood thirsty criminals. Each branded with the mark of a beast. Ten years ago, when they were suspected of overthrowing the kingdom, the knights of the realm launched a full force attack, scattering them to the four winds.

Lizzy:
Well, if you believe the rumors, they each died a long time ago.

Princess Elizabeth (aghast): Such amazing people wouldn’t possibly let themselves get killed!

Lizzy:
Hmmm... but they are all criminals, aren’t they?

Princess Elizabeth (voice rising): The Holy Knights are the ones starting the suffering of the people right now! A long time ago, when I was five or six years old, my father would tell me stories about them that when I learned that they were the strongest Knights--!

(Suddenly, a huge section of the cliff collapses, and the trio falls!)
