At first when I read this story i thought it was a short beauty and beast story that is until politics came into the picture and then it spiraled from there. From Saliphie/Sariphie struggling to stay by the King's side and become his queen and vise versa with the king trying to make have his people accept her as their queen. You can see the many trails and obstacles they go through, even if there are many cliques through out the story and their adventure they still hold onto each other dearly and embrace what life has to throw at them. from my last readof The ancient magus bride and this manga is by far taking racial tension, and biased creatures to a whole another level where we see the changing a Monarch way government.
