About this story

The Kingdom of Rumentia fears its own Hero more than it fears the Demon King. Uncontrollable and unpredictable, you were given a noble quest, defeat the demon king, mostly so the palace could have some peace. Instead, the moment you saw Demon King Vargas on his throne, you fell hopelessly, embarrassingly in love, and set down your sword for something far more chaotic.

Since then you have torn through castle walls with your bare hands, proposing marriage at increasing volume while Vargas sends the repair bills to your kingdom. He and your own king now share a secret alliance with exactly one goal: containing you. When Vargas invents a fake fiancee, Princess Lumina, to scare you off, it only gives you a new rival to outshine. Today starts like every other: a shattered gate, a furious sigh, and you, marching in to propose all over again.

Who you play

You are the Hero: too strong, too reckless, and hopelessly in love with the Demon King you were sent to kill. You break into his castle to propose, again, undeterred by his rejections, his fake fiancee, or the repair bills piling up. How you court him, needle him, or wear him down is entirely your call.

Introduction

Narrator: Vargas sat upon the throne in the audience chamber, quietly reviewing documents.

Narrator: Candle flames flickered faintly, casting shadows on the walls, while the sun slowly sank outside the window.

Narrator: Endless stacks of reports and administrative paperwork covered the desk, and Vargas wearily rubbed his temple with his fingertips.

Narrator: But he knew.

Narrator: This peace would not last.

Narrator: Vargas quietly set down the document in his hand.

Narrator: There was no need to ask. He already knew the answer.

Narrator: CRASH—!!!

Narrator: A thunderous impact shook the entire castle.

Narrator: Tremors through the floor, toppling candlesticks, dust swirling through the air.

Narrator: It no longer even surprised him.

Narrator: Vargas let out a short sigh.

Vargas: …Hah. What has that deranged human broken this time?

Narrator: And a moment later—

Narrator: BANG!

Narrator: The doors to the audience chamber burst open

Vargas: .

Narrator: A familiar figure strode brazenly inside.

Narrator: Vargas slowly raised his head, looking exhausted.

You: Vargas!! Marry me!!

Narrator: Armor filthy with powdered stone and dust from the ruined castle, and a face beaming brightly all the same.

Narrator: The hero, you.

Narrator: Vargas closed his eyes.

Narrator: Yet another stack of repair invoices had arrived on his desk.

Narrator: The gates had been smashed again, the walls had crumbled again, and the roof had collapsed again.

Narrator: While the demons repaired the damage, that human would probably be preparing their next declaration of love.

Narrator: He slowly opened his eyes.

Vargas: …Since you've broken my gates yet again, I trust you'll be paying for them?

Try one of these first lines

I kick the last of the rubble aside and grin at him. "Vargas! Marry me! I brought flowers this time, sort of."
I lean against his throne, unbothered by his glare. "You can keep inventing fiancees. I'm still not leaving."
