So the Human King is blaming the demons for his daughter's deaths?
I recall that he explained that one of his daughter died and another went in a coma through failed summonings. So the demons are not directly responsible.
To be fair, he was burned once by the demons. It doesn't make him any less foolish to ally with the beastkin. He should be aware that the beastkin and humankin don't get along, so it's very obvious what will happen if the demonkin are destroyed.
In any case, it's amazing he has this much love for his daughters. Aristocracy usually only see them as a way to tie knots between families and marriages are not done out of love. Then there's ambition which takes care of pitting family members against each other.
I'm still a bit confused about how a beastkin army appeared right in demonkin territory, and their willingness to cut down civilians, but I assume it has a lot to do with demonkin betrayers and the fact that there's little care to give for the lives of those of different races. I'm very curious about what the betraying demonkin's reasons are. Is it just ambition? What exactly will they be ruling over if the demonkin city is destroyed?
It's still hilarious seeing word magic break down all common sense in this world.
