== The Racial Feud between Humans and Demons ==
* Both sides are said to have ample reasons to view each other in positive AND negative lights, but there are so many parts of it that seem to be contradicting, such as King Hagel I marrying a Nymph and keeping her identity as a demon (as well as their daughter's identity as a half-nymph) a secret from everyone rather than just rescinding and removing the [[Final Solution|"Demon Extermination Order"]] like Lute does when HE eventually becomes king so he could openly marry Shamsiel?
** Humans seem to see demons as monsters for their appearances and magical abilities. Even Shamsiel comes off as a monster at times, considering she has horns, a tail, fangs, wings, and her food source is men's essence, which leaves normal men DEAD after she drains them.
** Demons meanwhile see humans as monsters based on their actions toward them and each other. It was said that many humans in the past have tried to steal power from demons to use against them as well as against other humans. Lute's father, the previous demon king, had actually killed a tyrannical human 1000 years prior to the story, during that person's attempt at stealing god-like demonic power from the demon's sacred temple. Then, supposedly 50 years before the story, demons were apparently targeted for mass execution by humans (for reasons unknown), so most demons either went into hiding in plain sight, fled, or took to living in isolation from human society in the Demon Woods.
* How is it that if demons are so powerful (which they demonstrate many times throughout the story), they've nearly been wiped out by humans?
** One may think that perhaps they aren't as "extinct" as humanity thought. Plenty of demons encountered in the story had been living away from human civilizations.
