Synopsis for Niehime to Kemono no Ou

Saliphie is the ninety-ninth female human sacrifice to serve as food for the King of Beasts and Demons, but despite that, she is not the least bit afraid as she never had a family or a home to lose, so she takes a positive attitude and no longer worry 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 her being a human. This drives the other beasts and demons crazy at the news, but the King is powerful enough to silence them all.
