The official website describes the story as:
“Count Romelia, I am announcing my engagement to you.”
Immediately after defeating the Demon King, Romelia was informed by Prince Henri that their engagement was broken off. Romelia lost her fiancé and was abandoned by her companions, but she did not give up.
The Demon King's army still thrives in her homeland, and there are people held captive by demons. Romelia, who has lost everything, takes action to save them. She trains new recruits in remote areas and strikes deals with merchants. She gathers the manpower and funds to build up a force to oppose the Demon King's army.
The abandoned young lady now stands up.
