“Where is it,where is it?!” King screamed in distress.Running around the Boar Hat. Up and down the stairs,behind the bar,in Ban and his room,everywhere! He even ran outside and looked around. “I know it has to be here somewhere!” King searched for a little while longer then he walked back in the Boar Hat and put his head down on the table in defeat. “Hey King,whatcha lookin’ for?” Said a drunk Ban chugging on a Vonya Ale “Nothing.” King said, sitting up for a second “It’s obvious you're looking for something,King” said Diane “Leave me alone.” Diane shrugged it off and asked again “King what is it your looking for, you know we can help you right?” “I want to left alone right now.” King said Floating up the stairs to his room he closed the door and fell to his bed and began to cry. A few minutes later, Diane walked up the stairs to where the upset king was. She knocked on his door “King,come on out.” Said Diane speaking “No!” he said in a sort of a muffled rebellion.“Then I’m coming in!” Diane opened the door to see King on the bed lying there with bloodshot eyes it had clear he had been crying “King.” Diane said, looking with despair in her eyes to see King like this “I told you no!” He said in kind of a yelling tone. “Come on you can talk to me.” She said as if King’s words had gone right through her.“Why do you care so much about me?” Said King crying more he clung on to Ban’s pillow for dear life. “Hey King,where’s your pillow?” Diane said .Heavy Tears began to roll down his face. Diane tried to get closer to him, but every time She did he would float further away. “King you need to talk to me so I can help you.” “NO,NO,NO!” Diane backed away at King’s sudden rebellion. This time he yelled and everyone could hear him.“What’s going on?” Meliodas said hand still on Elizabeth's breast. “Would you all leave me alone this is my problem and I need to fix it myself!” King sad yelling flying out the window “King!” Screamed Meliodas he went to chase after him Diane stuck her arm out “Let him go.” “I’ll look for him in a few minutes.” ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Diane walked around the woods for a few minutes “King?” she called out “King where are you?” She walked around for a bit more halfway through she heard sobbing and the slightest “I-it’s gone I-i don’t know w-what to do….” King stuttered between sobs. “What did he lose?” Thought Daine “How could I lose Chastiefol?” “He lost his sacred treasure?” Diane went to go stand up, but stepped on a branch “Shoot…” “Who’s there?” King said coming out of his sad state and floating up “It’s me.” Said Diane putting her hands up. “D-diane….” Said King with a distressed look. He went back to where he was sitting before, but instead he had his knees up to his face. He put his face in his knees and began to cry Daine couldn’t help but feel pity on the poor fairy. “Hey King…” Diane began, but King stopped her by saying “I lost it.” “Your Chastiefol?”Said Daine with a concerned look on her face, sitting next right next to King “H-how did you know?” King said, shooting straight up “You talk to yourself” Said Diane. King blushed knowing that he did talk to himself on occasion. “ You think I’m a crybaby for crying over My Chastiefol. ”Said King with tears in his eyes “No way King it’s your sacred treasure. Y'know King, when I lost mine, I flipped out I got upset for a long time.” “See the thing about my Chastiefol was that it was to be Elaine’s but she gave it to me because she knew how much I wanted it.” The Fairy said, smiling “Now are you gonna sit here and sulk or are we going to find your Chastiefol?” Said Diane “It’s no use I already looked everywhere.” Said King “It never hurts to double check!” They walked back to the Boar Hat and the minute they did Ban was on the floor and getting yelled at by everyone in the bar. There it was the bright green pillow on the floor next to Ban. Everyone stopped when they saw King and Diane in the doorway.” Sir King,Lady Diane you’ve returned.” Said Elizabeth looking at them.King said nothing, but looked at Ban with a surprised look. Diane went over, smacked Ban over the head, grabbed the pillow and handed it to King. He dropped the pillow and draped his arms over Diane in a great big hug. She swears she could hear him whisper “Thanks,Diane you are a wonderful person.” Later that night they fell asleep on King’s Chastiefol together he no longer felt powerless.
