The third princess of Liones, Princess Elizabeth Lioness, pursued to convince the Seven Deadly Sins through their leader, Meliodas, to be able to clear the tainted names and liberate the kingdom of Liones from the Holy Knights, used by Fraudrin, for which the purpose is to unseal the Demon Race from being imprisoned.

The Seven Deadly Sins stood against the Ten Commandments which was led by the brother of Meliodas, Zeldris, and the fight revealed something more, Meliodas' true identity – Meliodas is the cursed son of the Demon King, with destiny intertwined intimately with Elizabeth.
