Sorry forthe delay, I was on holidays. So, here we go for the last chapter.

Enjoy ^^

Zeldoris was intimidated by his father's reaction. He lost, and he was furious. Even Merlin feared the worst.

" Are you done ?" he dared to ask.

New silence. It costed the god to admit his defeat.

" Unfortunately … I am done. I can't take back my words. You won. I'll release your brother from his curse, and let you two alone." he declared.

Not so far away, Meliodas let a glass fall. It exploded on the ground, making his teammates startle. All of them could feel the explosion caused by Zeldoris earlier and were concerned. Two tears ran on the blonde's cheeks.

" Meliodas ! What's wrong ?" asked a worried Elizabeth.

" The curse … is broken." he responded low voice.

Then, he rushed outside. Meliodas ran toward his little brother's presence. He wanted to know. How, why. Meanwhile, Zeldoris let a heavy sigh of relief. It was over. No more risks. He immediately went to where is dear princess was. That one was sound asleep without a care in the world.

" Whoah. Not even my father could wake her up. Some potion it was." he thought, finding her.

" Congratulations Zeldoris. You did it." said Merlin.

" No. She did it. She won against my father. That's not something you can witness every day." corrected the demon.

" She won because she was cunning. You're the one who challenged your father, and handled the last challenge." added Merlin.

" Righ, but I thought I'll be the one doing this. Oh well, it ended well that's the main thing. But how come she isn't even awake with my father's roar ?" wondered Zeldoris, hands on his hips.

" Ha ! That's because her grandmother ordered me a potion so that even a storm wouldn't wake her up. Morgan isn't to awake before some hours." explained Merlin.

" I see. Well then, thanks for your help anyway. I'm going to stay with her and wait for her awakening."

Zeldoris went near her and sat on the ground. He suddenly felt Meliodas incoming. Of course. He just sighed, turned to face him and waited, a hand sustaining his cheek. Meliodas stopped, almost out of breath.

" Evening brother." welcomed Zeldoris.

" Zeldoris … wha … what just happened ?"

His brother sighed again before answering.

" Oh nothing really. I just challenged our father, and my dear Morgan has to endure it. Three tests she just won. In exchange, you're free from your curse and we're left alone." summarized Zeldoris, tending a hand.

Meliodas blinked. He was sober though. But he felt it. He felt it break.

" So now, I was just about to sta-"

Meliodas just threw himself on his brother. He hugged him so hard he could make his eyes get out of his head.

" What the actual fuck Meliodas ?!" articulated Zeldoris.

"THANK YOU !"

Merlin just laughed. Meliodas was so happy that he even dropped a kiss on his brother's cheek. That one protested loudly. The other Sins arrived and discovered them one on top of the other.

" Your girl is amazing Zelis !" he exclaimed joyfully.

" I know. All she did was outsmarting her opponents. Now if you don't mind, I'd like to rest." resumed Zeldoris, pushing his eldest.

He straightened. Ban asked what was happening. To what Meliodas happily answered.

" Will you shut up already ? You're going to wake her up !" cut Zeldoris.

" Okay okay fine. We'll let you alone." smiled Meliodas.

" One last thing : you're not allowed to call me Zelis, got that ?"

" Gee ! Alright your highness."

Meliodas and his team left, the blonde giving a last look full of gratitude to the couple behind him. Zeldoris turned to Morgan. Finally alone. He gently removed her ribbon from her eyes. He contemplated her for a while, before leaning beside the ginger-haired woman. He hesitated then put his arm around her waist.

The following morning, Morgan finally woke up. She immediately noticed the absence of her ribbon. Then, that she had an arm around her. Looking above her shoulder, she apperceived Zeldoris peacefully asleep. The princess blushed. She took a moment to calm down her heart.

"He's pretty cute when he sleeps."

Morgan watched him for a moment. Then, she realized that it was morning. So did she succeed ? Carefully she stood up. Zeldoris just rolled on his back. Morgan looked around. Where was Merlin ? No Demon King either ? What happened during the night ? Morgan spotted two silhouettes coming. She decided to wake Zeldoris up, just in case.

" Zelis ! Zelis wake up !" called Morgan, shaking him.

" Nnnnh ? Morg-yaaaaawn !"

" There's people coming."

" Hmm ? Oh, those are friends. It's Monspiet and Derrière."

Zeldoris stretched then got up. He welcomed his former teammates. Monspiet announced that he felt his king's presence. So Zeldoris had to announce what happened once more. Morgan felt relieved when she learned it ended well. The demos looked at her mouth wide opened.

" What ?" asked Morgan.

" Hmmm no. Nothing." said Monspiet.

Humans were decidedly something. They decided to leave them alone, hoping that they would confess. The princess asked him if he had any news from his father. Zeldoris announced her she won. He handled the ghosts during the nights, given that they attacked him instead of her. Of course, the Demon King was not happy but he kept his promise.

" Oh. Say, I hope you demons don't have family dinners ? Because I'm not sure it would be a happy moment." made Morgan.

" Hahaha ! No, not with my father don't worry." laughed Zeldoris.

" Phew ! That's a relief. So Meliodas is free as well right ?"

" Yep. He already came here by the way."

Zeldoris told her about his passage. Morgan chuckled at the kiss part. Anyway, time to come bac to the Boar Hat. Arthur arrived, holding Merlin's hand. They got happy faces from the princess. The king looked at Morgan. It was certainly time to go back to Camelot. He hugged his sister, relieved as well. Zeldoris' demons friends were there as well.

" And you Zeldoris ? What the hell are you waiting for ?" asked discreetly Monspiet.

" It's different. She's human and I'm a demon. Our lifespans are way too disproportionate." replied the one, with a bit of sadness.

To what the former Ten Commandment found nothing to say. Morgan looked at Zeldoris. Both of them approached.

" I guess you're going." he said.

" I think so too. Maybe … you could come back with me." suggested Morgan.

How he would love that. But was this really a good idea ? What if something happened to her again ?

" Morgan, last time we were together something terrible happened to you. I don't want to risk your life ever again." reminded Zeldoris.

" Zeldoris. Did you force me to interpose myself ?" replied Morgan.

" No but …"

" No buts. I chose this myself knowing what could happen. I would do it again if I had to."

" What ? Why would you do that ? For someone like me on top of that ?" he exclaimed.

" Because you're not the only one wanting to protect the one you care about." she said, lifting a hand.

Her fingers passed gently on his cheek. Zeldoris closed briefly his eyes.

" But … I'm a demon … you're human. We don't age at the same rate." he breathed.

That was a problem indeed. Morgan leaned eyes. Merlin approached them, dragging Arthur with them. She apologized for intruding, but she overheard that part. The magician announced that she and her new lover had the same problem. However she had a solution. She could stop the siblings' time. Just as she did for herself. Morgan and Zeldoris looked at each other. That was the solution ! They would be able to stay together for as long as they wanted.

" So what do you think ? You can take your time to decide, we'll do it if it became really serious for you. And if one day you have enough … I can remove the spell." she concluded.

" Well … that's one tempting proposition." said Zeldoris.

" Then accept and kiss the girl you stupid snail !" shouted Derrière, behind.

Everyone had a laugh. Zeldoris blushed and told her to shut up.

" But … fine by me." he confessed, red.

" I agree as well. We don't need to rush, right ?" she said, looking at him.

Zeldoris nodded.

" Then it's settled." ended Merlin.

Arthur just sighed. He still had mixed feelings about his sister dating a demon. However, now she looked radiant. He shrugged. Before leaving, Zeldoris went to announce things to Nelia. That one opened a big mouth when she heard that he was dating the princess of Camelot. But she was glad for him. He said goodbye and thanked her for sheltering him. He went back to Morgan who was waiting on her horse a bit farther. One hour later they were on the palace's garden, sitting on the grass. Zeldoris has one hell of a smile on his face. He was finally with the person he loved, in time of peace that was important, with nothing to worry about anymore. They have a solution in case things would go serious.

" So are you sure about this Zelis ? I'm just a weak human you know." said Morgan.

" I can ask you the same. I'm a demon, not what you can call a respectable party. And for all I could see lately, you don't lack courage. You're also becoming stronger." he replied.

" Haha ! You're right. Oh well, we'll see that become of this."

" In your face father. And I'm polite here."

His father didn't know that the little human who fooled him long ago was still alive and now an ally. Despair wasn't planned any time soon. Now, he'll just have to avoid people in town to be left alone. Fortunately, he was able to fly so that should do it. Why run into problems when you can avoid them ?

"By the way, why did you leave when I woke up after my coma ? I really needed you, even if it was unconscious." resumed Morgan.

" Because apart from putting you in danger, seeing your eyes full of hate when they've been warm was unbearable to me." answered Zeldoris, caressing her cheek.

Morgan smiled. That was understandable. She had to admit that she didn't know how she would have reacted. Maybe it was for the best in the end.

" Oh, before I forgot again, what happened to those guys who were attacking you ?" asked Morgan.

"They tried to get me again of course. Luckily for me, my brother and his woman helped. It appeared that the woman possessed by Rueduciel, the one with purple hair, heard me and Meliodas during our first meeting. She acknowledged her mistake of offering herself to that bastard. It took her a long time and her sister's help, but she managed to get rid of him. The other two were more interested in extracting revenge against Estarossa, however since he was dead, they just gave up." told Zeldoris.

" That's a relief then."

Saying that, she put her head in his shoulder. He blushed a bit, then leaned his head against hers. Meanwhile, Arthur was watching them with some puzzled face from a room.

" Are you okay, love ?" asked Merlin, surrounding him with her arms.

"Confused would be the word. I never agreed for my sister to be just a pawn in eventual alliances, but I would never have dreamed she would chose a demon as a mate."

" Same here. But as long as she's happy, that's all that should matter, isn't it ? And between us, who wold have thought you'd fall in love with me?" replied Merlin.

" I know right. You and I are not the same though. To be frank, I heard some men here and there who wondered how could I haven't fall for you." revealed Arthur.

" Really ? I suppose I should be flattered. However … I'm wondering how your mother will react to all this."

He glanced at her. Merlin didn't seem nervous, but her tone couldn't totally hide her worry. That's why he faced her. Igerna was one hell of a snob.

" I don't care about that. I'm an adult, a king and my choice in love doesn't concern her no matter what. Morgan certainly shares that point of view. Plus, what do you want her to do ? Sent us to our room ?" he responded.

Merlin smiled a bit, glad to see him ready to defend her. Not that she doubted it, but it was still reassuring.

" It's just that … I'm preoccupied. Usually, someone of your rank is supposed to marry royalty to make alliances. To ensure the future of your country."

" I'm aware of that. Still, what's the point in being king if I can't even choose ? I've got other ways to ensure Camelot's future, and no doubt a certain demon would get quite mad if anyone threaten us ever again." resumed Arthur.

" So true."

Arthur left the window. What a weird denouement, though. All is well that ends well, that will be one tale to tell children later. Down there, Morgan and Zeldoris decided to go back inside. They straightened. Zeldoris offered help to the princess. Morgan took his hand, then pulled him closer once up. He looked at her, a bit surprised. That ginger-haired girl just dropped a kiss on his cheek, but very close to his mouth. That's how he understood he could get what he wanted to taste since a while. And it was wonderful. Finally, some happiness even for someone like him.

Later on the day, they were invited to a party Meliodas gave to celebrate this good news.

"You know, I'm a bit concerned about your people's reaction toward me. I mean, it will impact you and your brother." resumed Zeldoris.

" Don't worry : for my fifteen's birthday my mother offered me a little domain not far from the castle. They don't know you there." replied Morgan.

" You really have a solution for everything, do you ?" smiled the demon softly.

" Part of my job. But I never thought it'd be so complicated to be in love with a demon."

" Don't tell me about it !" exclaimed Elizabeth, making Morgan laugh.

" That's because we're the best, right brother ?" intervened Meliodas.

" That goes without saying." answered Zeldoris.

" Hmmm I'm waiting for a proof, me." said Morgan.

" Is that so ? Funny cause I have plenty."

" Perfect."
