After lunch and a long, intimate chat in the corner of the bar, John decided it was time to head back. He glanced around, making sure no one was watching. Meliodas was still busy in the kitchen, the occasional clatter of frying pans audible, while Hawk was happily munching on the remains of his breakfast in another corner. Then he looked around, making sure no other customers were watching.
Everything is safe.
John leaned back toward Elizabeth. He kissed her wildly, his lips demanding, full of passion hidden from the eyes of others.
Mmuach!~ Sluuuurp!~ Mmuach!~💕💕
Their mouths met with wild, wet sounds.
Elizabeth returned the kiss with equal intensity, a small moan escaping her lips as John released her.
"Mmmph... Ahhh... J-John..." Elizabeth moaned softly between their kisses, her hands gripping John's shirt.
Mmuach!~ Sluuuurp!~ Mmuach!~💕💕
Again, their kisses were fervent and loud.
They kissed wildly, their lips devouring each other with hidden passion.
John broke the kiss, his breath coming in short gasps. "I have to go now, Princess," he whispered, his piercing eyes staring deeply into Elizabeth's. "But... I'll come back tonight. Get ready for a more enjoyable lesson." A mischievous grin spread across his lips.
Elizabeth looked at John, her eyes now shining with a mix of innocence and intelligence, and nodded in understanding. "I'll wait for you, John," she replied, her voice low but full of promise.
With that, John rose from his chair, gave Elizabeth a curt nod, and then strode out of the bar without attracting the attention of Meliodas or Hawk. The door creaked softly as he closed it, and John's figure disappeared from view.
When John left, Elizabeth felt a sudden, piercing emptiness. An uncomfortable hollowness settled in her chest. It was as if a part of her had gone with him. "Mmm... he's gone... hahh..." she sighed, her finger touching her still slightly swollen lips. She didn't want to be away from John. She felt a marked difference when he was gone; her days felt duller, and her thoughts felt less alive. When she was with him, she felt so happy, so... alive. And most importantly, she was learning new things, things she'd never been taught at court, things that made her feel stronger and more astute.
Elizabeth didn't want to be away from John. This feeling, this desire to always be with him, grew stronger. She began to think hard, searching for a way to keep John by her side. Her brain, now sharpened by John, worked quickly, connecting the dots, devising strategies.
After much thought, her now sharper brain began to formulate an idea. A brilliant idea formed in Elizabeth's mind. An idea that was perfect, brilliant, cunning, and highly likely to succeed.

Mission to Persuade Meliodas
With steady steps, Elizabeth searched for Meliodas. She found him in the kitchen, cleaning the dishes and humming a soft tune.
"Meliodas," Elizabeth called in a voice made as soft as possible, full of kindness and a slight pleading tone, just like John had taught her.
Meliodas turned his head, his smile immediately widening when he saw Elizabeth. "Oh, Elizabeth! What's wrong? Do you want to try my secret recipe?"
Elizabeth shook her head, her smile still sweet. "It's not that, Meliodas. I... I want to discuss something important for our journey." She took a deep breath, her voice filled with deep consideration, preparing her argument. "I... I think our journey to find the Seven Deadly Sins will be difficult, right?"
Meliodas nodded. "Of course, Princess. Finding the Seven Deadly Sins is no easy task."
"Well, with that in mind," Elizabeth continued, her tone now a little pleading. "I have an important request. Could we... ask John to come on the journey with us?"
Meliodas frowned, the spoon in his hand stopping mid-air. "John? Why him? He's just a customer of our bar."
"He's been so helpful, Meliodas!" Elizabeth emphasized, her face showing innocence as if she truly only had everyone's best interests at heart. "You know? Last night, while you were fast asleep... I was just sitting around. But John, he volunteered to clean up the entire bar! All by himself! Imagine how tired he was, but he still did it for us!"
Meliodas fell silent, his mind working. His mind wandered back to the clean bar that morning. He had been a little surprised, but dismissed it as just his own hard work before bed, or Hawk having somehow become more diligent. Now that Elizabeth had spoken, he began to think. "Really? He... he was the one who cleaned everything, wasn't he?" Meliodas muttered, his gaze wandering as if imagining John sweeping and cleaning.
"Of course! He's a very responsible and kind man, Meliodas," Elizabeth continued, reassuring with a sincere expression. "And he's also very strong! Imagine how useful he'll be in our journeys later! He can carry heavy things, or help when we encounter problems. I'm sure he'll be a very valuable asset to our team!"
Meliodas thought hard. Elizabeth's words, filled with cunning yet tinged with kindness, had truly affected him. He truly needed help. And John, based on Elizabeth's account, sounded like a man he could rely on.
"Hmm... that makes sense," Meliodas muttered. He then turned to Hawk, who was busy sniffing around in the leftovers under the table. "Hawk! What do you think? John's coming with us? He's pretty good at cleaning, right?"
"OK? John? That one? He's pretty good to eat with... uhm, I mean, pretty helpful with keeping the leftovers clean! If he'd come along, there'd be more food for me!" Hawk babbled, not realizing the impact of his words.
Meliodas chuckled. "Well, if Hawk agrees, that's good enough for me." The decision was made. He turned to Elizabeth, his smile wide. "Okay, Elizabeth! John will come with us! That's a great idea!"
Hearing this, Elizabeth couldn't contain her joy. "YEEEEEEY! Thank you, Meliodas! You're the best!" She cheered happily, jumping slightly, unaware of how successfully her newly learned cunning had changed the course of their journey. Elizabeth, the now cunning princess, had gotten what she wanted.

A Night Full of Surprises and Hidden Plans
Night fell, enveloping the village in darkness. The stars began to twinkle in the sky. A moment later, the door to the Boar Hat opened again, and John entered. A faint smile graced his lips, knowing exactly who was waiting for him.
As soon as Elizabeth saw John, she grabbed his hand with unbridled enthusiasm, dragging him over to Meliodas, who was busy mixing drinks. "Meliodas! Look who's here!" Elizabeth exclaimed, her voice cheerful, hiding a hint of cunning behind it.
Meliodas turned, surprised to see John there. A wide smile spread across his face. "Ah, John! Exactly! I was just about to see you! Elizabeth told me how nice you were last night, cleaning the entire bar by yourself while I was fast asleep. Also, Hawk was very happy for you to come with us because... well, you know, more leftovers for him!" Meliodas laughed softly, patting John's shoulder. "So, how about it? You want to join us? We're going to find my friends; the members of the Seven Deadly Sins and save the Kingdom of Liones!"
After hearing Meliodas' words, John glanced at Elizabeth. He saw a glint of triumph and unconcealed pride in the princess's eyes. Elizabeth had succeeded!
Seeing Elizabeth's innocent expression so convincing, John was truly shocked. This wasn't just innocence anymore; it was art.
A wide smile spread across John's lips. He was truly proud of her, how quickly Elizabeth had learned and applied her cunning.
"Of course, Meliodas!" John replied without hesitation, his hand reaching out to shake Meliodas's. "It would be my honor to help you on your journey. I would be more than happy to join you."
Meliodas smiled with satisfaction. "Good! Now, let's serve the customers!"
Shortly after John's approval, customers began arriving, filling the bar with laughter and chatter. John immediately became eager to help. He took orders, cleared tables, and served customers with dexterity.
Every time he passed Elizabeth, he would steal a glance, give her a mischievous smile, or occasionally give her a quick kiss on the cheek or lips if he felt safe from Meliodas's sight. A quick kiss landed with a soft mwuach.
Elizabeth also became happier. An aura of happiness radiated from her, not only because John was near her, but also because she felt competent and astute. She knew she was part of a grand plan, and she could execute it perfectly.
"You've been a great help, John," Elizabeth whispered as he approached her, her eyes sparkling. A faint blush crept across her cheeks. She was also happier with John now officially part of their team.
John would occasionally tease her with a light touch on her buttocks or a flirtatious whisper in her ear. "We have plenty of fun tonight, Princess," he whispered.
"Mmm… John… don't… someone will see…" Elizabeth whispered back, but she couldn't hide her smile.
The night wore on. One by one, the customers left the bar until finally only the three of them remained. Meliodas yawned widely, his body aching from a long day of service.
"Alright, I can't take it anymore. We're closing now!" Meliodas said, stretching his muscles.
However, Elizabeth quickly stopped him with a gentle, caring voice. "Meliodas, you've worked very hard today. You must be exhausted. Let John and I take care of the rest. You just get some rest."
Meliodas, already very sleepy, didn't think twice. "Oh? Really? Then I'll leave it to you, Elizabeth! John, don't let Elizabeth work too hard, okay?" Meliodas chuckled, then walked towards his room, and soon the sound of soft snoring began to be heard.
As soon as Meliodas left and the sound of his snoring was a sign that he had fallen asleep.
John immediately approached Elizabeth. His smile was triumphant. "You are truly amazing, Princess!" he exclaimed. He hugged Elizabeth tightly, lifted her up, and spun her around slowly, making her float slightly in the air.
"Ohh! Ha-ha-ha! J-John! Ha-ha!" Elizabeth laughed, her laughter now tinged with soft moans as she spun around, feeling John's intimate touch. She spun around, feeling so happy, elated by her success and their togetherness.
John lowered Elizabeth slowly, their bodies very close. His eyes stared deep into Elizabeth's.
"You're truly amazing, my dear," John said, his voice filled with genuine admiration and pride. "That plan of yours... was brilliant! I didn't expect you to learn my lesson so quickly. Making that reckless Meliodas believe you so easily, that's a skill!"
Elizabeth was overjoyed by John's praise. Her face lit up, and her body felt as light as if floating in the air. "Mmm... John... I'm just doing what you taught me. I... I want to be with you."
They kissed passionately, lips devouring each other, hands groping.
Mmuach!~ Sluuuurp!~ Kyyyaaah!~💕💕
Their kisses were a wild, wet symphony. The kiss was a celebration of Elizabeth's successful plan, a promise of a longer night.
And in the middle of the quiet bar, under the moon, they kissed passionately, lips clashing, tongues dancing, John's hands gently squeezing Elizabeth's waist, then moving up to her breasts.
Mmuach!~ Sluuuurp!~ Kyyyaaah!~💕💕
Their passion mounted, punctuated by eager sounds and soft moans.
"Ohhh... This... this is so... aahh💕... J-John..." Elizabeth moaned, her body shaking, her nipples stiffening.
After a moment, John broke the kiss, his breath coming in short gasps. "Okay, Princess," he said hoarsely. "We have to 'clean up' this bar first, right?" A sly smile crossed his face.
Elizabeth nodded, her eyes sparkling. "Of course, John. And after that..." Elizabeth took John's hand, her seductive eyes staring deeply into his. "Let's continue the 'lesson' in my room."
So, they began "cleaning" the bar together. However, the cleaning clearly involved more than just brooms and mops. A few sighs and groans might have been heard amidst the clinking of glasses and the scraping of chairs. Once the bar was tidy again, Elizabeth looked at John with a twinkle in her eye, an unspoken invitation.
"John... Come to my room!" Elizabeth urged, her voice full of passion.
John smiled broadly. "As you command, Princess."
Then, John immediately hugged Elizabeth from below and carried her on his shoulders.
"John.. ha-ha-ha- let's hurry up my stallion!" Elizabeth laughed, her heart filled with happiness and passion.
The stallion and the princess would fight on the battlefield tonight.
