Summary for Niehime to Kemono no Ou
Saliphie is the ninety-ninth female human sacrifice that serves as food for the king of beasts and demons, but despite this, she is not the least bit afraid as she has never had a family or home to lose, so she adopts a positive attitude and no longer fears have to be eaten. The king finds her interesting and keeps her at his side until his death. This leads her to discover the truth about the king of beasts and demons and ends up being the king's consort despite being a human. This drives the other beasts and demons insane, but the king is powerful enough to silence them all.
