The anime adaptation of Warrior Princess and the Barbaric King follows the same storyline as the original manga. It begins by introducing Serafina, who leads the First Knight Order in the Kingdom of Ildren.

During a military retreat, Serafina challenged Veor, the barbarian leader, to a duel, but he easily defeated her. Surprisingly, instead of taking her as a prize, Veor asked her to marry him, leading to a story that mixes dark fantasy, humorous cultural differences, and an unexpected love story.
