Just the fact that you thought the demon girl could have been taught by Eisen tells me that you still don't 100% the demons. They are literally lawful evil incarnate. They are made of magic, that's why they disintegrate into magic particles after death. Eisen campaigned against the Demon King. Next episode is very important to explain magic and duels against demons.

I find that the way demons are presented here to be interesting and a more refreshing perspective compared to the modern fantasy approach where demons are just "humans with a little extra". The idea that these are just creatures that hunt humans and appear human as a way to hunt is chilling and evocative. It's also a parallel to how we might hunt birds or animals by mimicking their calls. In this episode we start to see a bit more to them than before: emotional flaws stemming from a sense of innate superiority, which don't quite seem to track with Frieren's initial thesis of "wild animals who cannot be communicated with". What is the use of something like pride? If anything it's a major weakness. Maybe frieren is being shown to be an unreliable narrator? I think so.

Btw, random thing I noticed now that I’ve caught up. When the lord was mentioning how those with a large willpower can resist it, the knight we saw in the flashback against Aura had the same pendant and sword as his son. We also see that one of the puppets has the pendant as well.

I also probably had a bisexual awakening when I saw the lord shirtless at the beginning like damn, okay 😳
