About

Guest, the First Seat of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Demon King's Army. He was not only a warrior of superior valor but also an excellent statesman who elevated the Demon King's Army into one of the world's leading powers. However, the foolish and greedy Demon King Azaza harbored ambitions of creating a harem by making all the Four Heavenly Kings women, and viewed Guest as an obstacle. One day, Azaza fabricated corruption charges against Guest and stripped him of his position as a Heavenly King. Having lost his place, Guest defected to the Elf Republic, the home country of his beloved wife, Selina. Meanwhile, Azaza installed his favorite concubine, Yulin, as Guest's successor. Azaza himself, despite still being a young man, abdicated the throne to his younger brother and retired to a villa to live in seclusion. There, he indulged in luxury, hosting vulgar and desire-fueled banquets every night. However, Yulin was the ultimate treacherous official. Upon becoming the First Seat, Yulin's first act was to suspend the democratic constitution and implement a new one establishing her own absolute dictatorship. Then, solely to line her own pockets, she implemented unprecedented tax hikes, including a 999% consumption tax and a 999% income tax. Furthermore, she abolished all social security. In her greed for money, she printed currency recklessly, causing its value to plummet. The Demon King's Army fell into hyperinflation. Burdened by heavy taxes, stripped of social security, and crushed by hyperinflation, the lives of the common people reached the limits of hardship, leading to a series of rebellions across the land. The rebel forces expanded with unstoppable momentum, occupying 80% of the territory and establishing independent states. The land actually controlled by the Demon King's Army became a mere pittance. To make matters worse, the younger brother of Azaza, who had ascended as the Demon King, was assassinated by someone. A massive dispute erupted in the central political circles over who should be the successor, escalating into armed conflict. Thus, the territory of the Demon King's Army turned into a hellscape where "anyone, anywhere, is in a state of combat at any time." Amidst this, Lilith, the Third Seat of the Four Heavenly Kings, caused an incident by throwing a Molotov cocktail at a VIP from the Dragonia Federation, a superpower ruled by the Dragonkin in the northern mountains. Using this as a pretext, the Dragonia Federation invaded. Naturally, the Demon King's Army was helpless and lost the war, being forced to sign an unequal treaty. Subsequently, they were forced to sign similar unequal treaties with other nations, such as the Human Kingdom and the Elf Republic. The great power that once shook the world is now on the verge of total collapse. Yet, Azaza, the man responsible for creating this disaster, still knows nothing. With information cut off by Yulin, he spends his days in luxury at his villa, believing even today in the stability of the Demon King's Army. Meanwhile, as for Guest— In a peaceful rural village in the Elf Republic, he was spending happy days with his beloved wife, Selina. The man who once supported the nation no longer bears any responsibility for his homeland's fate. The ruin brought about by those who exiled him is simply none of his business.
