In which the hated Demon Prince meets a fairy girl.

He was a child born from infidelity and raised with hatred and neglect.

Hunger was his breakfast, loneliness his lunch, and abuse his dinner. He learnt to laugh when hit, to smile when hungry, to become pokerfaced when lonely.

Is it so odd that he doesn't care for much aside of entertainment?

Was it bad that he was smart and everyone else was so slow?

Truly, was it so wrong?
