Warning, you’re “humanizing” the demons in this series.
Here, humans and demons are not two peoples who clash for differences of ideas or power games; they are a bunch of wolves in human form who want to eat sheep, and sheep in human form who do anything – or at least should – to not be eaten. It is not a question of misunderstanding between peoples, but of survival.
If humans forgive, they’re eaten. If demons forgive, they don’t eat and die.
For the same reason, no demon would ever join a group of human adventurers; no matter how vegan you may become and decide not to eat the sheep anymore (and you must always see if your body allows you to survive without eating them) it would be like putting yourself on four legs and starting to cry, burning the grass with them.

Honestly, I wouldn't even say demons are deceiving or evil.
Perhaps deceiving yes, but no more than deep-sea fish that use light to attract prey, or spiders weaving their web to catch insects to eat. Evil? from an ethical - and therefore human - point of view, yes.
But from a purely biological point of view they behave like any other hunting animal.
The basic problem is that we humans have not been used to being on the side of prey for tens of millennia, since we have risen to the top of the hierarchy of the most dangerous predators and there are very few species that can put us in trouble (mosquitoes, bacteria, viruses, ourselves), so we see every gesture of possible aggression against us as evil and cruel.
We even do it with nature, when misfortunes such as earthquakes, tsunamis or hurricanes happen; as if the hurricane purposely chose to pass over a populous city instead of a desolate area because it wants to do as much damage as possible...
