I think so too. Knowing the king is money-hungry, he either poked them when they were minding their own business or he manufactured some demons at first to have an excuse for war (which drives up taxes.)
Sounds about right.
Damn this gets right into a noncon [aka rape] start (I was surprised, rarely do I see a FL to ML noncon). If you can get through that part, they end up negotiating terms and the plot is more enjoyable with comedic relief that surrounds the demon race. Honestly, not sure how the demon race has been making it so far, they are a mess. Which makes you think the humans might be the bad guys in this story. Though most certainly the noncon doesn't help the demons out; specifically the FL.
