Elizabeth Liones


 * For the character in the original oneshot, see Elizabeth (Oneshot)

"I... made a promise. Even if you were to die... Even if I'm the only one left... I will protect the people of the kingdom from the Holy Knights."

- Elizabeth, while entering Friesia's attack to protect a child, in Dedicated Resolution

Elizabeth Lyonesse (エリザベス・リオネス) is the third princess of Britannia, an adopted daughter of King Lyonesse, and is originally from the kingdom of Danafor. She is the main female protagonist and begins working as a waitress at Boar Hat bar when she joins Meliodas in his journey to find the Seven Deadly Sins.

Appearance
She has long silver hair and blue eyes. She wears a pair of blue ear rings with the symbol of the royal family of Britannia, the symbol compromising the sun, the moon and stars. In the oneshot, Elizabeth wore a black suit for wearing a rusted armor but when she join the Boar Hat, she start wearing a purple open shirt with a black ribbon on top and a dark mini skirt.

Her wanted poster's image is very accurate, since she had been in the kingdom very recently.

Personality
Elizabeth is very polite, grateful and caring, and though initially appearing to be fragile and frail, she is in fact very brave and courageous. Her selfless attitude and bravery are demonstrated when she willingly tries to rescue a child from Friesia's attack. Elizabeth, on the other hand, is also fairly gullible person, always tricked by Meliodas's antics.

Elizabeth is always been fondle by Meliodas but somehow doesn't mind it and might let it go because she holds great respect toward Meliodas.

History
Not much of Elizabeth's early life, and the circumstances surrounding her adoption by Britannia's king and Danafor's destruction have yet been revealed. As a child she often used to play with Gilthunder, Hauser, and her adopted sisters, Veronica and Margaret, the latter having given Elizabeth the an earring containing the symbol of the royal family.

After the Holy Knights staged the coup, she escaped from the castle and, clad in a rusting armor, began a journey to find the Seven Deadly Sins, the sole individuals she believed could match the Holy Knights' strength. By the time she had reached Caines Village, her armor, constant disappearing and appearing, and repeated, delirious-like muttering of "Seven Deadly Sins" had led the villagers to name her as the "mysterious Rust Knight".

Introduction Arc
Elizabeth is first seen when she enters the Boar Hat, exhausted, clad in rusting armor, and muttering, "the Seven Deadly Sins". The rumors surrounding her frightening all the customers into leaving, Meliodas confronts her, only for her to immediately fall unconscious due to her immense exhaustion; the fall removes her helm and reveals her to be female. Shortly after, Elizabeth awakes and is presented with some of Meliodas's terrible dishes, which bring her to the point of tears.

As she begins to reveal that she is searching for the Seven Deadly Sins, the knights of Beard of the Mountain Cat, including Alioni, arrive and demand that Meliodas come out and bring the Rust Knight with him, whom they believe to be one of the Seven Deadly Sins. While Meliodas and Hawk go out, the latter pretending to be the Rust Knight, Elizabeth escapes from the back door toward the woods. She is pursued by the knights, who are easily defeated thanks to Meliodas and Hawk. Elizabeth then continue her explanation, explaining to the two that her search for the Seven Deadly Sins was in order to defeat the Holy Knights, who, she informs them, had orchestrated a coup d'état few days ago, and have started forcing civilians to participate in military activities, and under whom, insubordination has become a deadly crime. Just then, the portion of the cliff they have been standing on is abruptly cut off by Twigo. Meliodas, however, saves everyone, including her and Hawk; noticing her earring, that has the symbol of the royal, leads the knight to discover Elizabeth's identity as the third princess of the kingdom. Twigo, planning to report her death as accidental, then attacks with a giant slash that cuts everything in its path. Meliodas, however, saves her, and then saves her from another of Twigo's attacks, after she, believing the young man to be a simple civilian, decides to surrender, not wanting to involve him, whose name she didn't know, in her matters and cause his death. Twigo walks closer to the two, and just become he deals the blow intended to kill them, Meliodas reveals his name, and true identity as one of the Deadly Sins Elizabeth has been searching for: the Dragon's Sin of Wrath. Easily defeating Twigo, he then offers for her to join him, which she happily accepts.

Sometime afterward, Elizabeth is officially hired as a waitress in Boar Hat, and is shown to be wearing the "uniform" Meliodas chose. She then questions the Deadly Sin as to why he was labelled as a criminal, and states that it must have been a misunderstanding, considering him having helped and rescued her. He initially jokes, saying that he stole panties of all the women in the kingdom and that he groped the breasts of over thousand women, but leaves the question unanswered and ambiguous. The topic is, however, forgotten, when they arrive at the village of Bernia, which is popular for its alcoholic drink. As they walk toward the village, Hawk, to his and Meliodas' surprise, discovers that the river, with which the popular ale was created, was completely dried up and the herbs, all wilted. Upon entering the town, they then see a huge crowd of many men; after Meliodas questions the crowd whether a festival was ongoing, the three discover that a Holy Knight had, the previous day, sealed the underground water source of the river in Bernia with his sword. Elizabeth wonders if the Holy Knight was Twigo, leading Meliodas to inform her that Twigo wasn't a Holy Knight, and that a real one was much stronger than him, to her shock.

The villagers continue to unsuccessfully try and remove the sword, as a boy named Mead suddenly appears and starts boasting about a friend of his, who, he claims, is one of the Seven Deadly Sins, this claim catching Elizabeth Meliodas' attention. His claims only serve to anger and annoy the villagers, who begin blaming Mead for the crisis, with some of the children even throwing stones at the boy. Meliodas brings him to the Boar Hat, where Elizabeth, soon arriving after them, and having been told of Mead's angering of the Holy Knight, asks him as to the reason. Trying to have him answer, she explains that she had been adopted, and narrates a story of her past. Due to being adopted, she desired her father's attention, and once climbed a tree; this greatly frightened him, leading him to try and rescue her be injured in the process. Hearing that narration, Mead informs them the reason he had angered the Holy Knight into damming the water source. As the boy finishes, Elizabeth, along with everyone else, then watches the two knights inform the villagers that, if the sword is not pulled out by the end of that day, taxes will be multiplied by ten times.

After Meliodas easily pulls out the Holy Knight, Gilthunder's, sword, the villagers of Bernia have a party at the Boar Hat, where Elizabeth attempts her first time at being a waitress. Unfortunately, however, she makes several mistakes along the way, her faults making her run outside, crying. Outside, she finds Meliodas, who is trying to approximate the direction of the spear Gilthunder has just thrown, and manages to encourage her. Elizabeth then watches in shock, as Meliodas stops Gilthunder's spear, which was heading for Bernia, and throws it back. After acknowledging that they only could bring more danger to Bernia if they prolong their stay, the two decide to leave and continue journey.

Forest of White Dreams Arc
Informed of a forest that even Holy Knights avoid in Bernia, she, Meliodas and Hawk then enter said forest, the Forest of White Dreams, which, avoided by even by people habituated to travelling, is an ideal place to hide for one of the Deadly Sins. After walking in the forest for more than three hours without encountering even one creature, they suddenly find multiple copies of Hawk to have mysteriously appeared. Meliodas quickly defeats all of them, including the original, only to discover that now, similar and identical copies of Elizabeth have appeared, all of them saying that they will do anything to prove that they are the real one. Meliodas succeeds in tricking the copies, by telling them to jump as high as they could, which the original refuses to do, since her panties had been stolen by the Deadly Sin beforehand. The copies are revealed to actually be the Prankster Imps that reside in the forest, the creatures then unintentionally leading the three to another of the Seven Deadly Sins, Diane, and apologize for letting a "Holy Knight" come through, them having believed that Meliodas is a Holy Knight.

The imps' apology instantly awakes Diane, who had been sleeping. Elizabeth watches as Diane immediately grabs Meliodas, only to start crying tears of joy when she realizes him to be her captain. The Serpent's Sin of Envy, then notices Elizabeth, and upon discovering that Meliodas has been traveling with her, throws a temper tantrum, calling Meliodas a "cheater" After the young man finally calms her down and explains to her the reason him and the princess are traveling together, the princess listens to Meliodas narrating the events that happened ten years ago, and is surprised when his narration reveals the Deadly Sins to have actually been framed, suspecting whether one of them might have been a traitor. Just as Diane decides to join Meliodas in finding the other five, Gilthunder abruptly arrives and lands on a lightning bolt, immobilizing all of them with his magic, and intending to kill Meliodas and Diane.

She immediately recognizes the Holy Knight who has just arrived, explaining to Meliodas that he is a Holy Knight very close to her father, the king, and that he was a brother-figure to her, being very shocked when she discovers him to have been the one that sealed Bernia's water source. Though he unbinds her and, stating that whether she lives or not was insignificant, orders her to leave, she refuses to do so, stating that will not let him harm Meliodas and Diane, asking him to unbind them. Gilthunder then kicks Hawk out of the way, which leads Elizabeth to go after him. After Meliodas tricks the Holy Knight into revealing information about the whereabouts of Ban and King, and Diane flings him from the forest, Elizabeth is seen worrying about Meliodas' injury.

Meliodas then decides to have their next destination be Baste Dungeon, where the Fox's Sin of Greed, Ban, is currently imprisoned, as it is nearer to their current location. Elizabeth objects him, arguing that having his wound heal before heading there would be better; though he affirms that the wound was not major, she quickly discovers that he has collapsed.

Baste Dungeon Arc
Meliodas' wounds and unconsciousness leads her, Diane and Hawk to then travel to a town near Baste Dungeon, called Dalmary, and have the severely injured Sin of Wrath treated. There, a medical doctor, Dana, who has begun Meliodas' treatment, states that his patient being alive was a miracle in itself, his injuries being very grave. As Elizabeth worriedly takes care of him, Diane declares that she will head to the Baste Dungeon herself, with Elizabeth asking to accompany her. Diane, however, retorts back that she only be a hindrance, being a mere princess, and only knowing to be Meliodas' nurse.

In response to the retort, Elizabeth replies that she wants to be of use, and that Meliodas was taking on "more than he can handle" to find the Seven Deadly Sins for her. Her statement angering Diane, the Sin of Envy proceeds to narrate to Elizabeth and Hawk the events related to her and and her captain's first meeting, and to then state that he treated everyone in the same manner. As Diane continues, Elizabeth states her desire to possess the strength to fight the Holy Knights, protect people dear to her, and not be a hindrance. Just as the conversation ends, and the Deadly Sin almost leaves, a swarm of insects attack the town, the swarm's source, Friesia intending to use the insects' highly corrosive poison in destroying the entirety of Dalmary Town, along with Meliodas and Diane. Much to his surprise, his attempts are thwarted quite easily by Diane using her yet unnamed ability to raise the earth in the form of pillars, and crush all the insects.

The entire swarm of bugs annihilated, Elizabeth awes at Diane's power, with the latter jumping out of the town in one leap, and running toward the dungeon, after instructing Elizabeth to take care of Meliodas. Sometime afterward, her and Hawk watch a still-unconscious Meliodas, the latter commenting that his peaceful sleep and unconsciousness resembled death. Suddenly, an unseen voice commends Dana for his hard work, and thanks him for upholding his portion of "the deal". Immediately, and to both Elizabeth and Hawk's shock, Dana reveals that the medicine he had made Meliodas drink was, indeed, actually a deadly poison. The same voice states even "they" wouldn't come out unscathed from a full-scale battle against the Seven Deadly Sins, and that "they" have to take significant measures to fulfill the kingdom's goals. The voice is immediately shown to be Golgius, who suddenly appears out of nowhere, and states that he has come to take Elizabeth and Meliodas' sword, the princess trying to stop him as he grabs the damaged weapon. Soon, however, Meliodas is revealed to be alive, despite the deadly poison he had drunk earlier, but his eyes now mysteriously being colored jet black, with a strange mark on his forehead. This, and the similarly mysterious, and very powerful aura Meliodas has been releasing since his awakening, greatly scares Golgius, who, acknowledging that he will be defeated, escapes.

Meliodas' eyes are then shown to have returned to normalcy, after which Elizabeth and Hawk to him as to where they were, and who Golgius was. Stopping Hawk from immediately leaving to chase the Holy Knight, Elizabeth questions Meliodas about his wound, which is revealed to have mysteriously healed completely. The three then leave to chase Golgius, and find him very soon. He, however, surrenders, explaining that he is a coward and doesn't like fighting; despite Golgius' claim, Meliodas notices the blades the Holy Knight had stealthily thrown at the moment he raised his hands to surrender, and blocks them. Elizabeth then watches, as Dana's demanding that Golgius return his daughter to him, and his subsequent death at the Holy Knight's hands. As she, worried about the doctor, runs toward him, Golgius appears above her and tries to Elizabeth, only for Meliodas to block his attack.

As Meliodas continues protecting her from Golgius' attacks, and the latter confirms Hawk's theory of his ability being teleportation, the Deadly Sin decides to escape, all the while moving Elizabeth out of Golgius' attacks' way. Him, Elizabeth and Hawk eventually enter an old building, where Elizabeth looks on as Golgius tries to kill Meliodas from behind, but falls for a trap that the Sin of Wrath had set up previously, having correctly deduced his opponent's real ability previously. After Golgius is defeated and sent flying into the street, the Holy Knight takes advantage of a small distraction and escapes on a horse.

Just as Meliodas and Hawk then decide to head for the Baste Dungeon, Elizabeth walks toward the dying Dana. When she cries for him, he apologizes for trying to kill Meliodas, and laments his inability to rescue his daughter, Cenette, commenting that he reaped what he sowed, with his hand then falling, implying that he has died. Elizabeth, in sorrow, blames herself for his death, stating that if they hadn't come to the town, Dana wouldn't have been forced to poison Meliodas and wouldn't have died. She also adds that if she hadn't found Meliodas, Gilthunder wouldn't have given him a grave wound, and Golgius wouldn't have nearly killed him with his scheme. In response to that, Meliodas tells that while he understands the events that occurred making her cry, questions whether her resolve to protect the kingdom's citizens from the Holy Knights so weak that it could be broken by "a tear or two", declaring that since he has resolved to do so and find the other Seven Deadly Sins, he would fulfill his promise with her even if she were to die. He proceeds to explain that all people eventually die, and manages to encourage her after explaining what being a knight meant.

Despite Hawk and Meliodas leaving Elizabeth in Dalmary while heading for the dungeon, citing the danger the Weird Fangs posed, she herself joins them, declaring that while she isn't a knight, she would keep fighting for the people of the kingdom even if Meliodas were to die.

While walking, they encounter Diane, who seems to have no memories of defeating Friesia and heading for the dungeon. Diane now having joined them, Meliodas decides that rescuing Cenette, Dana's daughter, would be their primary priority, to Elizabeth's gladness. Suddenly, Diane attacks Meliodas, having previously fallen for Ruin's illusionary abilities. Meliodas, immediately realizing that Diane was under an illusion, flees while carrying Elizabeth, with Hawk running behind them, and upon finding two civilians, one of whom is a young boy, walking nearby, takes them along, since they will be dragged into the battle. As they three, and the two frightened civilians, who are revealed to be shepherds from Dalmary Town, hide, Meliodas also falls under Ruin's hypnosis when he tries to look at Diane, which makes him see Ruin in her place the same way she sees Ruin in his. Quickly noticing that Meliodas has also fallen for the trap, Elizabeth tries to escape with the shepherds and Hawk, stating that they would die if the two Deadly Sins fight each other seriously.

As the two Deadly Sins continue their battle, Elizabeth desperately yells for them to stop, which causes Diane to regain her senses and memories. The young shepherd, who had met Diane on her way to Baste, goes toward her, only for her to then be hypnotized again and continue fighting Meliodas. Seeing the civilians frightened, Elizabeth declares that she will put her life to protect them. Hearing that, Friesia, testing Elizabeth's declaration, uses her bugs to attack the young boy, and when she hesitates, taunts her. He, however, is surprised when Elizabeth willingly enters the tornado of insects, being injured in the process, and protects the boy. The child, however, replying that while her risking injury to protect a child was admirable, reality is harsh, reveals himself to be a disguised Ruin under an illusion.

As Elizabeth asks him to undo the hypnosis, he pulls her with the hair and knees her in the chest, and hits her in the head with the top of his staff when she manages to get up. Telling Friesia that nothing was better than the face of a young girl writhing in pain, Ruin, in commendation for her bravery, explains to Elizabeth that the source of his illusions was his staff's bell, only to find it to have been removed by Elizabeth when she was hit with the top of the staff. He lashes out in anger, but before he can kill her, is stopped by Meliodas, who has regained his senses since the source of the hypnosis has been removed.

Meliodas, telling the unconscious Elizabeth that he has accepted her resolution, then fights Ruin, soon defeating him. Diane, having come to her senses as well, quickly defeats Friesia also, and initially deciding to take Elizabeth to Dalmary in order to treat her severe injuries, then takes her to the Baste Dungeon on her own request, with the princess sleeping in the giant's bag.

After the dungeon is destroyed, and everyone, including Ban, Cenette and all the other villagers imprisoned there, return to Dalmary Town, she is questioned by Diane and Meliodas as to how she is feeling. Elizabeth, however, starts worrying and questions them about the well-being others, to which Hawk retorts that she should worry about herself before others. She then requests for Meliodas to join Cenette.

At night, during dinner, Elizabeth, bedridden due to her injuries, is formally introduced to Ban. As the party continues, Elizabeth wishes that the moment could last forever, stating that the events in Baste reminded her all the more about the Holy Knights' frightening abilities, and the fact that only the Seven Deadly Sins could match them. In response, Diane replies that while she doesn't know, and isn't interested in, humans and human kingdoms, she wouldn't mind fighting for the princess, since she was "really cool" that day, and did have powers: the power to move her and Meliodas' hearts. She also asks her whether she could henceforth address her as merely "Elizabeth", instead of "princess", and then tells the young lady to address her as just "Diane". Some time afterwards, She, along with the others, awes at the sky as the shooting stars pass, and is later shown to be sleeping.

Capital of the Dead Arc
Three days later, and after Elizabeth's complete recovery, the Boar Hat, and the group, now including Ban, leave Dalmary Town. As Meliodas decides upon their course, Elizabeth apologizes for her recovery having caused the delay, to which Diane replies that she is too apologetic, and questions her as to how she is feeling, with the princess answering that she is fine. When Ban questions Meliodas about their next destination, the latter is cut off from answering by two Holy Knight apprentices, who, claiming to b full-fledged e Holy Knights, knowing that Diane is a giant, and that the Deadly Sins were accompanied by a giant pig with a house on its back, stop them for a security check.

Meliodas, stopping Ban from attacking them, lies that the Boar Hat is an ordinary traveling bar, and that Diane and Elizabeth were his "attractive waitresses". The two apprentices readily believe the lie and allow Hawk's mother to pass through, much to Ban's surprise; before the giant pig can do so, however, Diane, glad at Meliodas' comment about her being an "attractive waitress", lifts him and cuddles him. Just as the two apprentices realize that the child is Meliodas due to her addressing of him as "captain", a very fast creature eats them before then can respond.

Elizabeth watches, as Ban tries to frighten the creature, which is shown to be a Black Hound, only for it to enlarge, since Black Hounds have the ability to change their size depending on how threatened they feel. After the animal runs away, Hawk states that it was only a senseless coward, contrary to the rumors that Black Hounds continue to chase their prey until they kill them, to which Elizabeth comments that the Black Hound appeared to have been frightened for a moment. As they continue their journey, Meliodas states that their next destination is the Capital of the Dead, and that they will search for King there.

After they arrive at the village that Meliodas states to be the closest to the Capital of the Dead, Elizabeth questions to help with waitressing, since she wasn't bothered by her injuries. Meliodas accepts, but warns her to not push herself very much, and then calls out, informing Ban the directions to the food storage room, only to discover that he has escaped, not wanting to cook food for the Boar Hat. Sometime afterward, Elizabeth questions Meliodas as to what king of person King is, to which he replies that he is somewhat of a mascot or pet of the Seven Deadly Sins. He also states that Ban once went through a phase of collecting stuffed animals, which Elizabeth comments to be cute, and proceeds to narrate the episode. Ban had stole every single stuffed animal in the kingdom, justifying his "small" act by saying that he "worked hard" as a knight. This, however, greatly angered King who, after Ban finally grew satisfied and fell asleep, returned all of the stuffed toys to the children. As Meliodas finishes, Elizabeth states that King has a very kind heart.

After Ban's encountering of Ellen and her brother, and his brief battle with King, Elizabeth is present when he feeds the two children in return for information regarding the location of the Capital of the Dead, and is shown to be surprised when they reveal that King has also been asking them the same, wanting to go there no matter what. She watches puzzledly, as they explain that the village is the entrance to the Capital, but that people cannot enter it at will, since the Capital is not a grave, but a place where the deceased reside, making it somewhat of an afterlife. As Elizabeth wonders as to the method of entering it, Ellen recites a riddle that their neighbor often stated, that a priceless memory shared with the deceased will open the path to the Capital, to which Ban thanks her.

When they go to the precise entrance to the Capital, Elizabeth wonders if her desire to meet her mother, who passed away when she was young, will open the path, but realizes that it will not, since she doesn't have any actual memories with her mother. Suddenly, a great amount of flowers appear around the area they are in, whose petals, when Hawk tries to eat them, wither and then transport them to the Capital, implying that someone among them has opened the path, and shares a priceless memory with a deceased individual. As Elizabeth wonders if it was her desire to meet her mother that brought them there, Ban immediately leaves in someone's chase, with King, who had quickly entered the swirling petals that transported the group to the Capital, in turn, chasing Ban; Elizabeth looks at his appearance, which does not not resemble his wanted poster at all, in surprise.

Meliodas, Elizabeth, Hawk and Ban walk, searching for Ban and King, the pig comments the lack of any actual ghosts, to which Elizabeth states that she would be frightened if any ghosts appear, and then asks Meliodas as to why King started chasing after Ban. Meliodas replies that he is wondering the same as well, and also about what Ban started chasing in the first place, to Elizabeth and King's fright. As the four continue walking, Geera appears in front of them, her having entered the Capital of the Dead by killing herself. As Geera unsheathes her rapier, and unleashes a very powerful aura whose mere pressure pushes Elizabeth and Hawk behind, Meliodas, sensing the danger she poses, instructs the latter to escape as far as he can along with the former. As Hawk escapes with Elizabeth riding him, he states that his animal instinct had felt Geera to be more dangerous than Gilthunder. After going some distance, he then states that they should be safe there, only for Meliodas to crash on one of the crystals, that dot the Capital of the Dead, nearby, and then instruct them to run farther away, with Hawk doing so.

Sometime afterward, as Hawk and Elizabeth crash, the former stating that he is not able to run any more due to exhaustion, Elizabeth finds King, and after introducing herself, informs him about Geera having arrived at the Capital and having attacked Meliodas and Diane, and then also questions him about Ban's whereabouts. When he is reluctant to help in fighting the Holy Knight, Elizabeth, much to his surprise, instructs to escape, and stating that she will be borrowing his spear, tries to lift it. As she states that she wants to be of use to Meliodas and Diane, Hawk, overcoming his exhaustion, also helps her in lifting King's spear; their determination soon convinces King, who then lifts the spear with his telekinetic powers, and then heads to the battlefield.

After King and Geera's battle ends with the later's defeat, Elizabeth and Hawk arrive at the battlefield, Elizabeth watches in shock as the Holy Knight rises from the debris and attacks King from the back, stating that even if he guards himself, he would not come out unscathed if he is attacked at a close range. Just before her attack reaches, however, Meliodas repels it back at her, the explosion's impact having returned Geera back to the living world. Immediately as he does so, everyone starts disintegrating, with Elaine explaining this to be due to the Capital rejecting them, the living, who do not belong there. After having returned to the living world, Elizabeth wonders as to whose memories led them to the Capital of the Dead, only to be frightened at discovering Geera's half-dead body.

Later, when King questions as to Elizabeth's relation with Meliodas, the Deadly Sin initially jokes about them being a couple, and then introduces her as the third princess of the kingdom. Surprised at knowing Elizabeth's status as princess, King, wanting to present himself better, transforms into a much older and fatter form; he then returns to his ordinary appearance upon being told to do so. She, later, praises King for having been able to defeat an opponent, Geera, whom Meliodas, Diane and Ban were struggling to fight, and watches King question his fellow Sins about their sacred treasures, his irritated response to their answers, and then, him explaining to Hawk the significance of the Deadly Sins' sacred treasures. As Meliodas and King discuss about the Holy Knights, she questions the latter about her father and sisters, which, he replies, he does not know about, disappointing her.

Ongoing Arc
Later, that night, Elizabeth is seen inside Boar Hat's bedroom, and then, after Meliodas enters the room, nostalgically remembers her childhood, expressing her worries about her sisters and father, but is reassured by Meliodas, that they are alright, and will be rescued by them.

The next day, Elizabeth, Meliodas, King and Hawk travel to Biron, a town popular for its ceramics, trying to gather information about the other Deadly Sins, Diane and Ban having stayed behind in the Boar Hat due to her size as a giant, and his wanted poster's image's resemblance to him, respectively. As the four walk, they soon find the wanted posters of the Deadly Sins, but now accompanied by a wanted poster for Elizabeth. All the residents, upon discovering that they are the criminals in the posters, immediately and unsuccessfully try to chase them. After the four escape to a tower, Elizabeth expresses her fright at discovering a wanted poster for herself. Though Hawk suggests for them to forget about business in Biron and escape, Meliodas and King leave Elizabeth in the same tower to gather information, upon the princess' own urging.

As Elizabeth and Hawk continue waiting in the tower, they hear a villager, below, pleading to Griamor, who has arrived in Biron after receiving a report of the villagers having found the fugitives, that he had really found them. The Holy Knight, however, refuses to believe that they had escaped after being found, and cruelly considering the report to be false, prepares to execute the villager. Elizabeth, unable to watch such an injustice happen, shows herself to prevent the execution of the citizen, which leads him to commend her courage and call it admirable. When she says that she wouldn't forgive his injustice, he retorts, while lifting her with a single hand, that what he had pledged his allegiance to was not the Royal Family, but is cut off from finishing his statement by Veronica's arrival.

Veronica, stopping Griamor from further hurting Elizabeth, then takes her to a room in Ceramic Tear Inn, where, as Griamor stays guard outside, she scolds Elizabeth for sneaking out of the castle. Upon the latter questioning the former whether she was taken there under the orders of the kingdom, Veronica accepts so, and also states that if Elizabeth was captured by here then, she could even become the future princess. Quickly adding that she was joking, she then asks her sister to come back to the castle, since as a princess and Holy Knight, she had enough influence to "do something". Elizabeth, however, refuses to do so and then also expresses her opposition to the Holy Knights' enslavement of the citizens, with Veronica justifying it by saying that the citizens' forced involvement in military activities was for their own protection in the upcoming war.

Veronica continues, saying that rumors state Elizabeth to be hunting the Holy Knights down with the Seven Deadly Sins, and trying to persuade her to cut all ties with the legendary group, informing her that they are all "despicable and evil". Their captain, Meliodas, she includes, is not a half-hearted criminal, but a "raging monster who leaves a path of destruction wherever he goes", and that his child-like appearance is, but a mask. Her sister opposing the statement, Veronica argues that Meliodas is simply deceiving her to use her later, and when Elizabeth refuses to disclose the Deadly Sins' location, refuses to let her out of the room, but, before going out, gives her a pendant of their father's which he says will protect them from evil.

As she waits in the room with her head facing down, she does not notice Meliodas and Griamor's very brief battle, only looking above after the former has already defeated the latter. Later, when Elizabeth thanks Meliodas for saving her and apologizes for not remain hidden, Meliodas only states that he shouldn't have left her there by herself, and also informs her that they have found their next destination. Abruptly, fireworks are bursted above the town they are next headed to, as Elizabeth states that though she said that her time with her sisters was very enjoyable the previous day, she is very happy when she is traveling with the Deadly Sins, though frightening events often occur. As the both walk away, she does not notice the fact that Meliodas' shadow appears to be the silhouette of a giant monster, implying that he is not human.

The next day, the group reaches a town named Byzel, that hosts an annual flea market, in which a "weapon that no one can use" is said to be sold; Meliodas and Elizabeth speculate said weapon to be a sacred treasure. Suddenly then, Diane throws a temper tantrum at not being able to accompany the others into Byzel. Elizabeth offers to join Diane in house-sitting, and when Diane replies that doing so will be boring, responds that she wants to have some "girl talk" once in a while, then heading into the forest with the giant to gather ingredients for dinner. As they walk into the forest, Elizabeth finds a mushroom-like monster; Diane, considering it an ingredient, tries to grab it. The creature, realizing that it is in danger, releases spores that shrink both Elizabeth and Diane. The latter wears the former's clothes and jewelry, in order for them to not be lost, and then, wanting to surprise Meliodas, enters the Byzel Fight Festival under the name of "Matrona", with the shrunken Elizabeth hiding in the shrunken Diane's bosom.

Elizabeth hides in Diane's bosom during the preliminaries of the tournament, and then, during Diane's first battle against Griamor. After Diane wins the battle, King questions her about how her body has become small, and Elizabeth's whereabouts. In response to the last question, a shrunken Elizabeth, from Diane's bosom, replies that she is right there. When Meliodas refuses Diane's advances, and then comforts her, Elizabeth appears to be dejected.

She, along with Diane and King, watches Meliodas and Ban's battle, and as Ban is about to land the final blow, pleads to the both to stop him, and then yells for Ban to stop as he punches his opponent; Elizabeth is seen to be surprised by Meliodas having won the battle. Diane then explains how the battle had ended, that Meliodas' eyes were colored black, and that his forehead had a black colored mark, leading to Elizabeth wonder if said mark was the same one Meliodas had had in Dalmary, during Golgius' trying to grab his sword. After Diane hurriedly hands her, and her jewelry to Meliodas, before heading for her battle against Hauser, Elizabeth is alarmed at Meliodas' perverted smirking.

When Diane turns back at a cheer, and upon finding Meliodas teasing the shrunken and naked Elizabeth, is angered at him not cheering for her; Meliodas continues teasing the princess a the latter does cheer for the fighter. Meliodas then questions Elizabeth as to what was wrong, to which she states the reason she has been dejected for some time: she believes that the reason Meliodas behaves this way towards her is that he doesn't consider her to be important to him. The Deadly Sin, however, does not hear her response over the other noises, leading her to add that she was just talking to herself, and mentally state that no matter what Meliodas thinks of her, she has resolved to believe in him. She proceeds to then tell him that she was very worried about him during his fight against Ban; he replies that he will not battle like that again, but mentally adds that he will only do so when she is nearby.

Elizabeth watches Diane and Hauser's battle, and as Hauser becomes serious tells Meliodas that Hauser should not become serious, since, though he is normally an easy-going person, he wouldn't stop once he has become serious. As she says this, Meliodas wonders if she her size has grown a little. After the battle ends with Diane's victory, she is apologized to by the shrunken giant for her clothes, which Diane has borrowed, having been ruined during the fight. During Cain and Meliodas' battle, as the audience discuss about Cain's shirt bearing the crest of Danafor, Elizabeth mentally states her father had told her about her originating from the kingdom once. After the battle ends, and the final battle of the tournament between Meliodas and Diane is declared, both fighters head to the ring, but not before Hawk borrows a ribbon, and with it, makes a small dress for the shrunken Elizabeth, who is left in his care. Later during the fight, Elizabeth was surprised of the fight but then Hawk note that Elizabeth is seeming to getting bigger which confused her. When the sins start acting darker, Elizabeth was shock and surprised at this sit but Elizabeth realizes that they were trying to get the people to leave Byzel when the three Holy Knights (Jericho, Geera, and a unknown Holy Knight) came to Byzel and start attacking.
