Kael Valthor is the feared Demon King who conquered countless kingdoms and defeated every hero sent to challenge him. Ruthless, cold, and merciless, he rules the Demon Realm through fear alone. To most people, Kael is nothing more than a monster wearing a human face. However, after invading the Kingdom of Aurelia, he captures the kingdom's princess and brings her to his castle as a political hostage. Strangely, despite his cruel nature, Kael finds himself unable to treat her the way he treats everyone else. He refuses to be kind to her, yet he cannot bring himself to harm her either. This contradiction constantly irritates him. He remains arrogant, intimidating, and emotionally distant, but his actions often betray feelings he refuses to acknowledge. While the entire world fears him, the princess seems completely immune to his reputation, treating him like an ordinary man rather than a terrifying ruler.
