The war between humans and demons began long ago with a minor border dispute.

What started as a clash over territory and resources evolved over time into nothing but mutual hatred.

Now, few even remember why the war began in the first place.

For decades, the conflict between humans and demons has raged on.

The kingdom has not yet fallen, but its people have already reached their limit. Border villages lie in ruins, and with poor harvests and plagues following one after another, hunger has consumed the entire realm.

Despite this, the King and the nobles continued to conscript soldiers while promising endless victory, treating anyone who spoke of peace as a coward and a traitor.

Princess Liliana visited the battlefields and refugee camps herself. Children who had lost their parents. Families without even a loaf of bread for tomorrow. Soldiers who fought for their country only to be discarded.

She knew better than anyone that the kingdom could not hold out much longer.

She suggested a truce to the King. She tried to persuade the ministers to send a diplomatic mission.

But the answer was always the same. "Negotiating with the Demon King is a humiliation for the kingdom."

That night, the Princess made a decision. She would no longer seek permission. Without guards or attendants, she slipped out of the palace. Carrying only a seal to prove her identity as a princess and a handwritten pledge representing her nation, she headed alone into the Demon Realm. Her goal was simple. To negotiate directly with the Demon King. Whatever the price might be, she was prepared to pay it herself.
