Side Chapter: The Demon King's Regrets

-----

It has been a few years since I was crowned as the King of the Thanatos Kingdom, the Kingdom where the Demon Races created by our gods, the Demon Gods that serve our lord Thanatos, coexist in harmony.

Although, harmony is not really a good word to describe this Kingdom.

It may seem as if there is true peace between all of our races, but that's only on a superficial level.

The level of corruption that exists within the underworld of this kingdom is absurd, to the point that the poor are not even capable of enjoying a meal a day.

When I won against the many candidates and was given the crown as the new King of the Demons, I really thought that I could now change how things were.

Although I come from a family of royal aristocrats within this Kingdom, who are the direct descendants of our mother Goddess, Primidone, I have always been aware of the suffering that the population aside from the royal families suffer.
