However, records show that these princesses responded to their kidnappings in many different ways, with some falling in love with the Demon Lord as they spent time with them, some hitting it off with the Demon Lord and joining them in their quest for world conquest, and some who tried to defeat the Demon Lord before the Hero arrived.
