Normal POV
                          
Night time.....
                          
"okay, make sure you take a left by the corner. Vivian said that  she left the vehicle in the alley way near the pier. Smart girl, no one  would dare look for it near the cargo site." Says Liza on the other side  of the line. 
                          
It has been three days since Meliodas left to find Vivian. He  wasn't able to do anything else in three days but wait for Liza to  contact him. she also mentioned that Lancelot had been throwing a fit  for the failed plan. Liza wasn't able to contact Meliodas due to  Lancelot and Vivian's presence. She had to wait for both of them to  leave. It was a good thing they did.
                          
"Okay.  Thank you for the information Liza. Text me Vivian's  official address. I'll corner her there. " says Meliodas. He was  determined to do this for Elizabeth. 
 "Okay then, good luck. And try not to get caught. Remember, you're still an Ire." Was all Liza said before she ended the call.
                          
This was it, Meliodas was gonna head over to Vivian's place right  this second. Doing this will save Elizabeth from too much heartbreak. It  pained him to see her like this, no tear should ever fall from her  eyes. He was about to hit the gas when another call has heard from his  phone. He picked it up and found the ID number to be....Preston?
                          
"Hey Meliodas....." Preston's playful voice was heard.
  "Preston..hey, when did you get back?"  Preston is a traveler. He  travels from place to place. And if you question his job, he's a trader.  His business involves importing, trading and delivering wine to other  countries. That's why he is hardly around.
 "Just today. Anyways, I got some big news to tell you....so where are you?" He paraded.
 "really? What is it?...also, I'm in Leonez City "
 "I can't tell you right now. You have to come back to Danafuji." His voice sound urgent.
 "why can't you?"
 "A's orders. You have to be present for me to tell it to the both of you." Preston said seriously.
 "alright, I'm going." Meliodas ended the call.
                          
Meliodas was tied to down to listening to what his heart and mind  had set him to do - which was find Vivian immediately-  or following A's  orders. To be honest, A scares everyone including Meliodas. Wouldn't  want His Boss to show his dark side huh? 
 Meliodas had to make the  decision. It was night time. Meliodas estimated the number of hours to  find Vivian and the number of hours to drive back to Danafuji. He was  gonna be late if he goes to find Vivian. Meliodas thought it through and  came to a decision. It's a great plan, but it was risky.

That  Night.....
                          
After her call with Meliodas, Liza was currently waiting for  Lancelot to come home. She believes that he must be drinking his  problems away in one of Tokyo's high class bars. She didn't have to wait  long because the sound of the doors opening confirmed her waiting.  Lancelot had returned.
                          
"Oh you're here......" he was drunk but still sane.
 "and you're drunk...." Liza was gonna see his reaction upon telling him the big news.
 "yeah I know babe....." he pulled Liza near him. "but I'm fine..." he sniffed her hair.
  "you smell like alcohol, sit down...I have to tell you something."  Lancelot pulled away and slumped himself on the couch. His play body  pose didn't attract Liza at all.
 "so? What did you want to tell me?" he said while taking a sip of wine.
                          
"that mission you told Vivian to do....." she started slowly.
 "yeah? What about it?" he took another sip.
 "she did what she was told, to dispose of Zeldris' sweetheart."
 "Yeah good for her." Lancelot saw Liza's blank face. "what's with that look? Am I missing something?"
 "Elizabeth Prinzesse, the girl you tried to fake rescue...."
 "yeah what about her?" Lance took a big gulp of the wine.
                          
"she's Zeldris' sweetheart........." with that, Lance regained his sanity. He spit out the contents of the drink.
                          
"she's WHAT???????????!!!!!!!!!!" he couldn't believe it. "are you  meaning to tell me that Elizabeth is dead?!" he was furious at this.  Liza's face still is blank.
 "she's alive." Lance sighed in relief.
 "then who did Vivian kill?"
 "Elizabeth's sister, Margarett Prinzesse." 
 "how could I been so foolish?!" Lance gripped his hair.
  "you're lucky Vivian hit the wrong Prinzesse. If she didn't, your  chances of gold digging would have gone down the drain" Liza felt  sympathy for Margarett but showed no emotion in fornt of Lance.
  "hmpf.....the bitch got lucky. I'd probably murder Vivian with my own  hands if she killed Elizabeth..." Lance felt relieved that it wasn't  Elizabeth.
 "but you're gonna unlucky soon." Liza moved away from him.
                          
"and why is that?" Liza opened her laptop. She searched on Google  about Margarett Prinzesse's killer. "It's all over the news. The  Prinzesse household has already sent their top investigators to find  Margarett's killer. Not only that, your name is also featured in this  article.
                          
Mastermind for this plan, suspected to be...............Lancelot  Clancy....." Liza read the big bold letters on the screen. "In other  words, if Vivian is caught, she'll spill. And if she'll  spill............you Lancelot Clancy..........will be a goner." Liza  shut the laptop directly.
                          
This scared Lancelot. If Vivian spills everything, his plan will  be all for nothing. Lance was one step closer, he immediately grabbed  Liza and pushed her out of the room. He dragged her till they were in a  hall full of his subordinates.
 "hey, what's up with you?"
  "Leave....all of you......everyone under my control is to leave. Go on!  You're all fired!" He yelled at everyone of the people in the building.  After that, he again left for time for himself. Lancelot felt  frustrated. Liza was right. If Vivian gets caught, then she will tell  the cops. Immediately, Lancelot phoned Vivian.

That night of the phone call......
                          
Vivian was currently making herself comfortable at her home. She  lived alone on top of a hill. Her house resided near a cliff. The amount  of money she has as payment has given her the life of luxury. Even  after three days, she still celebrating over Margarett's death. Vivian's  phone started ringing, it was Lance calling him.
                          
"Hello....." that irritating high pitch voice never dies down.
 "Vivian, we need to talk......" he said.
  "If this is about the news, don't worry darling. You're safe. Even if I  get caught, I would never trade any information for you..." Vivian  sounded confident.
 "You better not Vivian..." he threatened.
  "Darling, relax..your secret is safe with me....." Vivian knows only  Lancelot's present life. Never his backstory. So she ended the call.
                          
Later on, Vivian continued to shower herself in happiness. Her  pleasurable night of booze was interrupted when an unknown number  flashed through her phone. "now who could this be?" she picked it up.
 "hello? Who is this?" her sassy voice was heard.
                          
"I know what you did...." this voice....it couldn't be.
 "Z..Zeldris......." how did he get her number?
                          
"I know where you live. Who you're working for, and your  motives......" he slowly told her. Vivian started sweating. She expected  her to be caught maybe weeks or months from now but never knew it could  be this soon.
                          
"you're just bluffing...." she wished it was.
 "am I now? Well  then, turn around...................." Vivian slowly turned around. Her  eyes saw the man standing just outside her sliding glass door. Zeldris  smirked at her reaction.
                          
"It's all over." He said before ending the call.

With Lancelot.....
                          
After telling Vivian everything on the phone call,  Lancelot acted  rationally. Due to his drunk state of mind, he wasn't thinking  straight. He had to do everything in his power to not get caught. His  workers only knew him as LANCELOT. They have no knowledge of who he  truly is. He was a nobody in reality. This was an advantage for him. Not  even Liza knows his TRUE PERSONAL LIFE. 
                          
It was almost midnight, everyone of his workers had left. They may  be loyal to him, but how long will that loyalty last? Lancelot couldn't  take any chances. To cover tracks, to seal his identity, to lock away  any information about him, Lance did the most unbelievable thing ever.
                          
HE SET THE ENTIRE BUILDING ON FIRE......
