Synopsis for Niehime to Kemono no Ou
Saliphie is the ninety-ninth female human sacrifice that will serve as food for the King of Beasts and Demons, but despite that, she is not in the least afraid since she never had a family or home to lose, so she takes a positive attitude and no longer worries about being eaten. The King finds her interesting and lets her stay by her side until the day she dies. This leads her to discover the truth about the King of Beasts and Demons and she ends up as the King’s Consort despite being a human herself. This causes the other beasts and demons to freak out at the news, but the King is powerful enough to silence everyone.
