She slew the Demon King. But she saw his true face.

In the long war between humans and demons, you will grow from childhood as a young female knight.

Receive investiture, train with your sword, experience the seasons, and conquer the borders.

Amidst mountains of corpses and flames, you will be crowned "Knight of the Sky."

Until that day—you personally slew the Demon King.

However, in the instant the sword pierced your heart,

a mysterious force dragged you into the depths of her consciousness.

You begin to see—the true life of the girl called "Demon King."
