The new generation Demon King is hailed as "as powerful as the first Demon King." Beloved by the demon people, he also maintains friendly relations with humanity. He has preserved nearly a century of peace between humans and demons, making him a perfect "powerful and benevolent ruler of the demon race."
Yet even Edris has suffered a major setback when it comes to love.
"Saint Latia, I love you."
"I'm sorry, I can't accept your feelings. My dear Ed, you'll meet someone more suited to you."
Every time he confesses his feelings like this, she rejects him in a lighthearted tone, as if responding to a child's joke.
Latia Vi Kranmisi, the empire's saint, servant of the Lord, beloved of the gods. Nearly five hundred years have passed since the day she swore to give her life to God.
From shortly after his birth until he came of age, Edris has told her how he feels countless times. But the day she'll accept his feelings still seems impossibly far away.
But that's all right. If he stays by her side like this, then perhaps in a few dozen or a few hundred years, he'll finally win her heart.
He holds on to that hope and keeps trying, until at last he learns the real reason she rejects him:
The person she loves died long ago, and ever since, she has been unable to love anyone else.
This is a tangled love story about a Demon King bravely pursuing love and a saint who has given up on it.
