Chapter 154 of 503 · 3 min to read the chapter

In Chapter 154, King Meliodas returns home, mourns his queen, and eventually remarries, but his new wife tries to poison Tristram so her own children can inherit Liones. After her poison kills her son and nearly reaches the king, Tristram secures her pardon, though the king refuses to keep him at court.

What happens

  1. A gentlewoman and most barons prevent Tristram’s murder, while Merlin frees King Meliodas, who returns to mourn his queen and name his child.
  2. After seven years, Meliodas remarries, and his new queen plots to poison Tristram so her children can inherit Liones.
  3. The queen’s own son drinks the poison and dies, but she prepares another poisoned cup.
  4. When Meliodas nearly drinks the second poison, the queen intervenes, and his threats force her confession.
  5. The barons approve her death sentence, but Tristram asks Meliodas to spare her and rescues her from the fire.
  6. Tristram reconciles the king and queen, but Meliodas refuses to let him remain at court.
