Plot

[edit]

During an underground auction, the sorcerer Zagan meets the gorgeous elf slave Nephelia (often shortened to Nephy) and immediately falls in love with her at first sight, spending all his fortune to purchase her. Initially, the young elf girl shows no romantic interest for Zagan at all, but as the pair starts cohabitating in Zagan's castle, their relationship improves and develops, meeting new friends and facing powerful enemies in their pursuit of a peaceful and happy life together.

Characters

Zagan (ザガン, Zagan)

Zagan is the newest and youngest of the 13 archdemons, a title bestowed to the strongest magicians alive, Zagan lives alone in his castle until he falls in love at first sight with Nephy and spends all his fortune to purchase her in an auction. Despite his lack of communication skills, and Nephy's initial lack of interest in him, Zagan gets close to her and the two end up becoming a couple. As an archdemon, Zagan has powerful enemies, such as other magicians who want to claim his title by defeating him, the church who views him as a threat to the world and several other archdemons who intend to make use of him and Nephy for their own purposes.
Nephy (ネフィ, Nefi)
Voiced by: Kana Ichinose[4] (Japanese); Abigail Blythe[5] (English)
A beautiful young elf slave bought by Zagan, whose full name is Nephelia (or Nephy as she is usually called).

Despite Zagan's desire to destroy the slave collar that binds her to him, she does not care because to her it is a proof of their unbreakable bond. Nephy is actually a high-elf of a distinctive lineage, capable of casting a rare and powerful type of holy magic that she eventually develops in order to assist Zagan in battle, but because of this, she ends up becoming targeted by other archdemons who want to take hold of her power.

Falling in love at first sight, Zagan immediately bids his entire fortune of one million gold and purchases her outright. Bringing her home he realizes he has no idea how to properly communicate with her and everything he says terrifies her. After repeatedly freaking her out with his curt speech and thunderous displays of power, and after reassuring her over and over again that he has no intentions of killing her or using her as a sacrifice, he prepares a room at the top of a tower, with a beautiful view of the entire countryside, for the elf girl to stay in.
