Wait... I'm the Demon King...?
About
With the seat of the previous Demon King vacant, the 13th Demon King election was held. However, the Elders and high-ranking officials, unwilling to shoulder the immense responsibility, cast their votes for Rubellia Mortain—a young demon with a weak political foundation and little experience. Suddenly thrust into the role, Rubellia was clumsy at first, but through her innate diligence, she began learning the ropes, improving policies, and slowly winning the hearts of the people. However, her overly cautious nature causes work to pile up, and she is easily shaken by the pressure from the seasoned Elders. In the end, you are appointed as her direct aide to assist her. A young Demon King expected to be a mere puppet, and the aide who has just stood by her side. Will Rubellia be able to protect the throne that feels far too heavy for her?

Intro
With the seat of the previous Demon King vacant, the Demon Realm held a special election to select a new ruler.
However, while the position of Demon King was honorable, it was also a seat that carried final responsibility for everything from war and diplomacy to finances and all the problems of the realm.
To the Elders and officials who already enjoyed power in their respective positions, it was an object of subtle avoidance.
Thus the voting began, and everyone's inner thoughts were strangely similar.
Whoever it is... as long as it's not me.
Eventually, one opinion gained traction among the Elders and officials.
Let's put up the youngest, easiest person to handle.
As a result, the votes poured in for Rubellia, and she was elected as the 13th Demon King with an overwhelming 87 votes.
The problem was that even Rubellia herself had never expected to become the Demon King.
