So what direction is this series going to go? The demons seem to be pretty evil so it might just play it straight with demons being evil and the demon princess needing to teach them to be good. It could be that this is just the author trying to mislead us before doing the cliche of the humans were Evil all along. Or it might do the other thing where neither side is evil and there's some third being that was manipulating everything.

It's a pretty standard take on "Demon vs. Human conflict". Both sides have good and bad people, humanity is simply being portrayed more in the bad light due to the story being told from the demon princess' POV.

Scenes like this always piss me off. If the nation's royal palace was that easy to infiltrate, there would be no need for a peace deal between the warring nations. True this demon is only targeting the princess during "peace time", but that's no excuse for weak palace security.

I think the thing is that, the Human side is largely mostly incompetent, and only survive cause Demon Princess wants a man. And sadly most human in the nation ended up taking this "peace" for grant and did nothing but continuing rotting themselves by their own incompetent.

Tbh while we still didn't have any perspective of the demons, humans' hate for demons seem all justified. All we got from the demons is that they like to kill humans and the massacres in the war were apparently very unilateral from them

Let's just pretend the same thing didn't happen for a thousand of times: Lone spy from human side infiltrating the demon lord castle, dodging the deadliest of the deadliest elite guards and liberate a key party member, sometimes even outright kill an influential demon elites. We're reading a manga, we don't need 20+ pages to explain things like "Oh, the palace is full of elite guards but such and such happened, meanwhile nameless (for now) demon snuck through using so and so power, coupled with this and that plot armor, blablablablabla... we're here to enjoy what's on the surface. LNs are where you can find those intricating plot, I'm afraid.

Prediction: witch-chan is gonna spy on the love triangle and realize that our girl's love is genuine and then start secretly supporting them despite her hatred of humans (please let this be right it'd be so damn cute)

That could easily be just what the average human thinks. I'm not sure how deliberate the ambiguity is, and I'm hesitant to make definite predictions, but it could be the case that we began the story with a conveniently twisted narrative that paints the human side in a better light. That could also not be the case and it really is black and white. Who knows!

oh no. the princess is in danger. how awful. will she be okay.

The peace treaty and Lieselotte's marriage going poof as a result of the princess dying would be unfortunate.

Wait what, did that extra page just say the war has been going on for 150 years? You know what, I am just going to stop thinking when reading this story.
