You skillfully combined the tragic origin of "The Seven Deadly Sins" with the current events of "The Four Knights of the Apocalypse" (Fraudrin's successor, the fake Arthur/Cath's conspiracy) to create a dramatic opportunity for revenge—allowing Arthur Liones (the crybaby) to catch the "one who got away" from the past incident!
Here is a tense dialogue scene based on your setup:
😈 Remnants of Danafor: The Crybaby's Fury 😭
Arthur Liones: 16 years old, apprentice Holy Knight, crybaby, Meliodas's son.
Percival: One of the Four Knights, core of the team.
Faux-Mage: A remnant who worships the Demon Clan, a follower of Fraudrin.
Years after the Holy War, in the Kingdom of Liones. The true King Arthur Pendragon has disappeared. The Faux-Mage, who worships the Demon Clan (not Fraudrin himself, but his follower, who was instructed by the fake Arthur/Cath in "The Four Knights of the Apocalypse"), is lurking near Liones, attempting to escape to Camelot to join the "human supremacy" new king he believes in (who is actually Cath disguised as Arthur).
Scene: In a forest on the border of the Kingdom of Liones, Percival's team is tracking the Faux-Mage.
Percival: (Whispering to the team)
That's him! The intel says this guy has been secretly contacting Camelot's forces recently. He has a strong residue of magic on him, and he's acting very suspiciously!
Arthur: (Walking at the front of the team, though his eyes are a bit red with vigilance, his nose twitches sharply)
Percival: What smell? Is it mushrooms in the forest?
Arthur: (He stops, his emerald green and dark blue eyes widen suddenly, and tears begin to flow uncontrollably)
Not mushrooms… This is… That's what Dad told me, the smell of blood and demon aura mixed together, left by Fraudrin in Danafor!
Faux-Mage: (About to cast a teleportation spell, turns around in a panic upon hearing the commotion)
Who are you?! Apprentice Knights of Liones? Get lost!
Arthur: (Tears streaming down his face, but radiating an unprecedented angry magic, his hands trembling as he points at the Faux-Mage)
You… You smell of Danafor! You're with that Fraudrin who destroyed my dad's home!
Faux-Mage: (Seeing the demon power beginning to surge from Arthur, stumbles back in fear, and at the same time recognizes Arthur's face)
😨😨😱 W-wait! You're… a descendant of the Liones royal family! Are you… that demon's son!
Arthur: (His voice trembles and cracks with anger and tears)
I'm not a demon! My dad isn't either! You guys… You guys who killed so many people!
(Arthur unleashes a powerful magical shockwave. Though not precise, it pushes the Faux-Mage back a few steps.)
Faux-Mage: (Raises his hands in terror, shouting)
👐🏻 Ah—! I just… I just worship Lord Fraudrin's power! I just want to work for King Arthur (referring to the fake Arthur/Cath)! This has nothing to do with me!
Percival: (Realizing the seriousness of the situation, he draws his short sword and stands in front of Arthur)
Arthur, calm down! His magic is weak! Don't be impulsive!
Arthur: (Tears fall like a waterfall, but he stubbornly walks forward)
He smells of Danafor! He's the one who got away when the Sin of Wrath was formed! I won't let him go!
Faux-Mage: (Looking at the crying boy in front of him, remembering Fraudrin's fate, he completely breaks down)
P-please spare me! I'll tell you all about fake Arthur's (Cath's) conspiracy! I'll tell you… tell you why I went to Camelot to join him!
Arthur: (Rushes forward, using all his strength, smashing the magic circle the Faux-Mage was preparing to use for teleportation, tears and snot mixing together)
You're not going anywhere! (He shouts)
I want you to tell my dad yourself… what you all did in Danafor!
(Arthur's punch, though not painful, completely sealed the Faux-Mage's escape route with its pure magic, mixed with pain and anger. The Faux-Mage falls to the ground in terror, completely limp like a fish caught on shore.)
What do you think of this story? How would you like to see Tristan (though he went to Camelot) react to Arthur's actions after this incident?
Your proposed setting is excellent, adding dramatic depth: this Faux-Mage is not just a follower of Fraudrin, he is also a direct accomplice in Liz's death, and he escaped in the chaos, hiding until now. This gives Arthur's capture of him a stronger sense of "family revenge."
Let's name this Faux-Mage "Elas" and integrate the details of his escape into the dialogue scene.
💥 Embers of Sin: The Fugitive's End 🐉
Arthur Liones: 16 years old, apprentice Holy Knight, consumed by rage.
Elas: A Faux-Mage who worships the Demon Clan, an accomplice in the Danafor incident.
Percival: One of the Four Knights, core of the team.
Scene: On the border of the Kingdom of Liones, the Faux-Mage Elas is knocked to the ground by Arthur's magic shockwave, unable to escape.
Elas: (Collapsed on the ground in terror, looking at Arthur's tear-stained face, his voice trembling)
I… I didn't know! I didn't know that woman's (Liz's) identity! I just… I just helped Lord Fraudrin prepare sacrifices! I wasn't the mastermind!
Arthur: (Trembling all over, tears still flowing, but his eyes like burning emerald flames, he steps on Elas's wrist)
Shut up! You're lying! My dad told me! When he lost control due to anger, he almost destroyed everything! But you culprits, there must have been one who got away!
Elas: (Pale-faced, wailing in pain)
Percival: (Walks to Arthur's side, looking worriedly at his surging magic)
Arthur, don't be impulsive! Leave him to us!
Arthur: (Ignoring Percival, the insight he inherited from his father made him sense the truth, he almost roared)
You saw it! You saw my mother (Liz) being killed! You didn't stop it, instead you ran away! Do you remember, that day in Danafor, after Fraudrin killed her, a 🐦🔥🐉monster came to pick him up!
Elas: (A hint of fear and despair flashes in his eyes, he knows he's been seen through)
Arthur: (Crying hysterically, but his voice is extremely clear)
Because I smelled it! On you, and the stinking smell left by that 🐦🔥🐉monster! You were riding on its back then, watching my mother, who had short dark red hair and had reincarnated countless times… being overwhelmingly killed by Fraudrin!
Elas: (Completely gives up resisting, closes his eyes in despair)
😱👐🏻 Ah… Yes… Yes! I saw it then! I saw Lord Fraudrin recognize her identity! I saw him… kill her! I… I was even celebrating, because the Goddess Clan had finally been completely annihilated!
(Elas's words instantly ignited a strong killing intent in Arthur, stemming from his instinct to protect his mother.)
When Lord Fraudrin was scared by that monster's (Meliodas's) power, I rode the monster and escaped! I thought I had escaped! I lived as if nothing happened for sixteen years! I waited for the Demon King and the Supreme Deity to be defeated… I thought my crimes would be swallowed by time!
Elas: (Starts to babble incoherently, talking to himself)
The Holy War is over, I have nowhere to go! I can only join Camelot! I'm innocent! I'm just… a follower who never feared the Demon Clan!
Arthur: (Withdraws his foot, his magic slowly recedes, but his tears still won't stop. He squats down, looking at Elas)
You thought… time would swallow my father's pain? You thought, you escaped for sixteen years, and we wouldn't find you?
Arthur: (With trembling hands, he grabs Elas by the collar, this time without magic, only pure anger and sadness)
You caused my mom… to reincarnate countless times!
Percival: (Steps forward, gently pats Arthur's shoulder, signaling him to calm down)
Arthur, that's enough. He can't escape anymore.
Arthur: (Lets go, collapses weakly to the ground, hugging his knees, tears soaking the ground)
Waaah… I want Dad… I want to bring him to Dad! He has to see this person with his own eyes… see this one who got away from the tragedy of Danafor's destruction!
How would you like to see Tristan (though in Camelot, he learns of this through magical communication) respond to his brother's capture of the culprit?
You've set up a highly tense interrogation scene: Elas (Fraudrin's accomplice) is brought before the high-ranking Holy Knights of Liones, and among them are two former Great Holy Knights who were once possessed by Fraudrin—Dreyfus and Hendrickson.
This is not just a public trial for Elas, but also a shock to the inner shadows of the Holy Knights.
💥 The Sinner's Public Trial: The Holy Knights' Fury 😡
Meliodas: Captain of the Holy Knights (sitting in the main seat, expression calm, but eyes cold).
Arthur: 16 years old, apprentice Holy Knight (standing beside his father, eyes full of hatred).
Dreyfus: Former Great Holy Knight, once possessed by Fraudrin.
Hendrickson: Former Great Holy Knight, once possessed by Fraudrin.
Elas: Bound Faux-Mage, accomplice in the Danafor incident.
Scene: A simple interrogation room in the headquarters of the Liones Kingdom's Holy Knights. Elas is tightly bound in the center by magical chains.
Meliodas: (Sitting in the main seat, no extra expression, throws a stack of papers onto the table)
State your name, your loyalty to Fraudrin, and everything you know about Camelot's movements, clearly.
Elas: (Trembling all over, looks up to see a circle of burning gazes from the Holy Knights, especially when he sees Dreyfus and Hendrickson, his fear reaches its peak)
I… I already said! I'm just an accomplice!
Dreyfus: (Dreyfus's eyes flash with a hint of pain and intense anger, he slams his fist heavily on the table, the loud noise making Elas jump)
💢💢💢 Shut up! You rotten apple!
Hendrickson: (Hendrickson appears calm on the surface, but his tone is utterly cold,)(with suppressed fury)
You worship the Demon Clan and assisted Fraudrin… Your actions remind me of the shame of being possessed by evil! Seeing you is like seeing our past stain!
Gilthunder: (electricity crackles in his hand)
All members of the Demon Clan, except for the Captain, are enemies of Britannia! You remnant!
Howzer: (expression of extreme disgust)
You people who sacrifice countless lives for power are simply despicable beyond belief!
Arthur: (Arthur's gaze is fixed on Aeras, his left eye emerald green, his right eye deep blue, though he isn't crying, his face is pale with extreme rage)
Tell me! Were you happy when you saw my mother (Liz) being killed?! Were you celebrating?!
Aeras: (completely terrified by the fury of all the Holy Knights, and the unique hatred of the possessed emanating from the two former Great Holy Knights)
I… I didn't… (His gaze avoids Meliodas)
Meliodas: (His voice is low and calm, but this calmness is more threatening than any roar)
Enough. Aeras. Look at me.
(Aeras is forced by the Demon Clan Captain's pressure to look up and meet Meliodas's gaze.)
Your life is in my hands now. You helped Fraudrin escape my wrath back then, but you won't escape Liones's public trial.
Meliodas: (He stands up and walks in front of Aeras, his eyes full of coldness, but his actions are extremely decisive)
From now on, you are our hostage.
Camelot is currently playing some shady tricks. If Camelot's fake king (Cath) dares to do anything that threatens Liones, or dares to harm my son (Tristan)…
Meliodas: (He grabs Aeras by the collar with one hand, his tone filled with undeniable resolve)
(In Meliodas's hand, Aeras feels not Fraudrin's fanaticism, but the true terror of the Demon King's successor, and he completely breaks down)
Arthur: (Watching his father's actions, though his tears are suppressed, his hatred is appeased, he knows his father will bring justice for his deceased mother and Danafor)
Meliodas: (Without looking back, he says to Arthur)
Go rest, Arthur. You've brought back the loose end of the Sin of Wrath. Leave the rest to the adults.
How would you like to see Tristan (in Camelot) learn about Aeras's capture, and what would his reaction be?
