Overthrow The Demon Queen
Bok Wykes
After teaming up with the Hero, she disguises herself as a human noblewoman known as the Crimson Scholar (紅の学士; Kurenai no Gakushi) and shares her vast knowledge on such topics as economics and farming.
She comes from the Library Clan, a clan of demons that prioritize knowledge. They reside in a hidden dimension called the Exterior Library, which contains a vast archive of knowledge from various times and alternate universes. Instead of a desire to conquer the human realm, she instead wants to see the "other side of the hill," a world where both the humans and the demons were freed from war.
The Demon King is a woman of average height. She has (detachable) horns and long, flowing red hair reaching some way down past her shoulders. Like her hair, she has deep, ruby-colored eyes reflected in her epithet, Ruby Eyes. Even though she has a young woman's appearance, she is over a hundred years old.
Her Demon King outfit, forced on her by Senior Maid, consists of a long, red dress that reaches down to her feet. The dress's low-cut collar reveals her ample cleavage, which she vocally disapproves of. This robe has a fur collar, similar to a boa, and a red diamond pattern running along its black sleeves.
The Demon King is generally easy-going, cheerful, and relaxed. When the Hero barges into her throne room to kill her, she greets him with a disarming "Hello!" and a curtsy, which throws him off and quickly makes him lose his will to strike her down.
She is a bit sensitive about her massive breasts, which the Senior Maid often makes fun of. By extension, she dislikes wearing the revealing clothing that the senior maid forced on her and would rather don casual, modest attire. Despite this, she also displays a lack of modesty when she nearly exposes her breasts to Hero to show off the Demon Mark, proof that she truly is the Demon King.
As a Library Clan member, the Demon King has access to the Exterior Library, where she lived for most of her life. At some point in time, before Hero was born, she met and saved Senior Maid, saving the latter from being a "bug." After that, Senior Maid has faithfully devoted herself to her mistress.
When Hero was a toddler, she had already risen to the position of Demon Lord after overthrowing the previous Demon Lord in a coup. However, not too long after, even after she resealed the Gate between the human and demon world, the Second Holy Crusade broke through and conquered Gateway City.
The Demon King is seen pondering, completely oblivious of the Hero charging towards her, intending to kill her. Even with the Hero charging towards her, she remained perfectly calm and simply turned around, greeting him with a simple "Hello there," startling the Hero mid-swing. After she shows the Hero her "Demon Mark" as proof of being who she is. She explains to the Hero that because of this war, the people in faraway nations, who are helping the war effort, can only have their luxuries because of the war.
In her room, she gives the Hero the Demon Lamp to hold, and after she explains what is really going on in his memory, they return to her room, where she also shows him where she would like to see. After this, she once again tells him that he will be hers, to which he replies that she is his. She accidentally touches the Demon Lamp again, where a memory of her is seen hugging a bag with the Hero painted on it. After the memory dismisses, she tells the Hero to forget what he has seen. She then shocks the Hero again by taking her horns off before leaving to go to the hill.
Unlike every other Demon King, she is only on par with a strong human. Hero states that she is, at best, on the Lone Winter King's level at fighting. This comes back to bite her during the Kurultai, first because some of the major clan leaders refuse to acknowledge her as Demon King due to her weakness, and second when she is hit by a poisoned arrow and is barely strong enough to survive the assassination attempt. Her real strength, however, lies in her broad range of knowledge and strategic prowess.
As a member of the Library Clan, she is also capable of seeing events in the far past and even the far future. Through this ability, she learned how to construct the rifle, among many of her other achievements.
Shouting: The Demon King possesses some kind of shouting that allows her to push back her foes with her voice. Like the Senior Maid's ghosts, magical foes are dispersed, and non-magical targets are pushed back.
Since both are having a crush on the Hero, they consider each other as love rivals and try to obtain the Hero's attention and hoping for him to choose them. Despite their love rivalry, the two are on good terms with each other and respect each other's skills and knowledge. They do consider themselves as friends throughout the plot and trust one another.
Because of Demon King's weakness in combat, Duke Silver Tiger initially refuses to accept her as the supreme ruler of the Demon Realm and fights with her whenever he can. However, as an honorable warrior, he agrees to hear her out at least, after the "Dark Knight" (Hero in disguise) defeated all of his best warriors in combat. When the Blue Demon Clan calls to overthrow her, though, Duke Silver Tiger readily opposes the Demon King.
Nevertheless, after Archer exposes the Blue Demons' assassin who had supposedly killed the Demon King, Duke Silver Tiger is horrified to discover that the assassin was one of the Beast Fang Tribe. When the true Demon King reveals herself to be alive and orders the Seal King's capture, Duke Silver Tiger sides with her, enraged by the dishonor of the Blue Demon Tribe. Afterward, he apologizes to her for the assassin and begs her to have compassion for his Tribe. She, however, has no ill will against the Beast Fang Tribe and believed that they were innocent all along.
As a result, he promises to repay her generosity by becoming her shield, claiming that this debt would not be repaid until the Beast Fangs had shielded her life three times. This debt is what ultimately kills him, as he dies defending her from the Lily Knights' bullets. Between the Kurultai and his death, the two are on much better terms with each other, with Demon King taking his advice on how to react to the Blue Demons' invasion of the Human Realm.
Isabella is solemn and dignified, as befitting a queen. However, she is benevolent towards her followers, and becomes upset if they suffer. Although she respects power, she does not endorse mindless violence.
She is an attractive young lady, with long white hair and red eyes. When she is in her demon form she has pointed ears and purple horns as well as a long tail. When she is a human, she lacks all her demonic attributes, and is beautiful enough to attract many young men.
Upon their first meeting, Isabella is disappointed with Xiang Ye's apparent lack of power, and was harsh and aloof towards him. After going on many adventures with him, Isabella becomes more loving towards Xiang Ye and accepts him as her husband. She is protective about Xiang Ye tends to become enraged at the enemy if he is injured. She now has fallen in love with him and after they defeat Lillian she plans her wedding with him. After successfully taking back her throne, she and Xiang Ye get married with her wanting him to get her pregnant so they will have an heir to the throne. She is currently pregnant with their child.
The eldest son of the Regent, Tols Angus. Tols Buri makes lustful advances towards Isabella who despises him. During their tournament duel, Buri crassly offers to make Isabella his mistress, to which she responds by hacking off his arm. Since then, Buri despises her.
The eldest prince of the Human Royal Family and the most gifted student of the magic class that Isabella attends. Isabella views Rennes as a worthy opponent, indifferent of Rennes's attraction towards her. Despite being aware that Isabella is Xiang Ye's wife, Rennes makes advances towards her, although she ignores them. During the tournament, Rennes presumptuously challenges Xiang Ye to a death match in an attempt to kill him and possess Isabella. Isabella is prepared to leap into the arena and save Xiang Ye from Rennes, however Xiang Ye is able to free himself and defeat Rennes on his own.
The commander of the Demon army, Lilian has been Isabella's caretaker ever since the latter was born. She was one of Isabella's bodyguards, but during the peace treaty signing event with the Human kingdom, Lilian treacherously attacked Isabella and drained her powers using a mystical artifact. During the mayhem, Isabella's bodyguards were killed and the Demon Queen was forced to elope with Xiang Ye, seeking refuge in the Human kingdom. Since then, Isabella holds a grudge against Lilian for her betrayal, as well as ruining the Demon kingdom with her tyrannical regime. It is revealed that Lilian developed an unrequited love for Isabella, and drained her powers, so that the weakened Demon Queen would become dependent on her. Lilian is upset when Isabella spurns her in favor of Xiang Ye.
Isabella was born to Demon King George Osa and his concubine. Although George was a successful Demon King, he was unhappy about being childless. The previous Demon Kings had difficulty having children, and all of George's children were stillborn. Eventually, his most beautiful concubine gave birth to Isabella, who survived. Isabella's mother passed away from complications of childbirth. Few years later, George also passed away from old age and Isabella became the new Queen.
At the beginning of the story, she lost much of her magical power because of Lilian's betrayal. She summoned Xiang Ye from another world with the intent of receiving help, only to be disappointed with the end result. Not only was she disappointed that he had no magical power, she was also angry that he was a human, the race of her sworn enemy. As she lost the rest of her demonic power, Isabella degraded to a form that resembled a human rather than a demon. Isabella and Xiang Ye attempted to escape the human armies only to be intercepted by Sophisas and his White Dragon Knights. They both decided to pose as former slaves of the demon tribe, because of this ruse they were able to receive lodging from the rich captain.
