Nina, a bottom-of-the-class mage who dreams of becoming a hero, has always worshiped Gain, the Morningstar Saint.
According to the rumors, the Saint is gentle and pure, fair and righteous, and the most powerful being in the world, closest to the God of Light.
But when Nina finally meets him, she discovers...
This guy may have the holiest face imaginable, but he treats human life like grass. He's cold-blooded and moody, and takes pleasure in manipulating people's hearts. He's nothing like the person everyone imagines!
Clutching the shattered remains of her idolized image, Nina swears to uncover why the Saint has fallen from grace, warm his heart, and lead him down the right path!
But why does everything seem more and more off the longer she spends with the Saint?
Why can the God of Light's Saint use the highest-level dark magic?
Why can he command the twelve demon gods under the Demon King's control?
Why does he... look at her so strangely?
Ever since meeting the Saint, Nina has been coasting on easy wins and unbelievably good luck. Now she's finally come of age and become a popular candidate for the title of hero. Everyone is convinced that a hero as powerful and lucky as her must have the God of Light's favor, and that she'll surely defeat the Demon King one day!
Nina finally puts two and two together and stares at the Demon King, who's been quietly raising her for three years. She trembles in fear.jpg
Sitting on his black iron throne, the Demon King holds his slow-to-catch-on girl and curls his lips in amusement. Unhurriedly, he says, "I hear you plan to defeat me and save the world, Miss Hero. I'm looking forward to seeing how you do."
No, no, forget the world. Let it be destroyed. I can't save it. I'm out of here!!!
