In a nutshell: A hero falls in love with his childhood friend, an extremely sadistic witch, and then... she devours him.
Bright has been an upright and innocent boy ever since he was little, and he has never known what to do with Claire, his childhood friend who is two years younger than him.
Because when Claire was six and Bright was eight, the first thing she said to him was:
"You have such a nice butt. Can I squeeze it?"
Years later, they grew up together. He rose from the bottom, step by step, to become a hero, the greatest Sword Emperor of the age and the leader of the six heroes in the War of the Demon Gods. Meanwhile, she gradually transformed from a frail young lord into a witch-lord with extraordinary talent and ruthless methods, whose eccentric private life drew criticism, yet who still enjoyed the people's support.
Once Bright was sure of his feelings and had given them serious thought, he went to see her of his own accord.
In response to her childhood friend's confession, Claire said:
"So now I can squeeze your butt whenever I want?"
"…"
"I love you. I love you as a lover, I adore you, and I want to spend the rest of my life by your side."
"You know my tastes are perverted, right? I like playing with men, but I never let them touch me. If you become mine, I won't be able to stop myself from touching your body whenever I please. I want to admire the way you look beneath me, showing a side of yourself I've never seen before. Even if you don't want it, I'll give you pain and pleasure. I want to hear you whisper wantonly, cry, and lose control beneath me. I want to completely defile your body, mind, and soul... until I've ruined you."
"That's all right. I love you not for what you are, but because it's you. If this is what you want, I'll accept anything you give me. As long as it's what you want, I won't refuse anything you do to me."
"Then, from now on... you're mine."
