Fairy King's Forest

The Fairy King's Forest is a forest within the Fairy Realm and the Human Realm. It marks the border between both realms. Before it was completely burned down due a Red Demon's purgatory flame, the blame of which was placed on Ban, the fairy nation was an ally of the Kingdom of Liones.

The Fairy King's forest (and by extension, the entire Fairy Realm) is ruled by the Fairy King, who is chosen by the Sacred Tree.

Background
The Fairy King's Forest is home to the Sacred Tree of the Fairy Realm which lies in the center of he forest, The fairies all live in the sacred tree which acts like a portal between the human realm and the fairy realm. 700 years before the series started, the Fairy King Harlequin, who had ruled the forest until then, abandoned the kingdom to rescue some captured fairies which included his best friend Helbram, forcing his sister to protect their country's greatest treasure, the Fountain of Youth, in his place. According to Elaine, many people sought out the Fountain of Youth and attempted to attack the fairies' country but all were thwarted by Harlequin.

Bandit Ban
When Ban heard legends from his friend Zhivago about the Fountain of Youth, Ban went on a journey to find the Fountain to become immortal. While climbing up the mountain, Ban found a little girl but ignores her and found the Fountain. Ban asked the little girl who she was and it was revealed that she was the Guardian Saint protecting the fountain and her name was Elaine. After Elaine finished blowing him off and seeing that he had no malicious feelings, they bonded and became very close.

After Ban heard that Elaine wanted to be taken from him, Ban promised to her that he would find her brother and set her free which she was happy about but, then a Red Demon came into the forest and started burning it down. Ban tried to fight the demon by ripping one of its hearts out but Elaine explained that demons have more than one heart. She was then clawed through by the demon, and so was Ban, and this gave both of them a fatal wound. Elaine gave the fountain to Ban so he could live but he refused and Elaine made him drink it mouth to mouth and it gave him his immortality, which allowed him to kill the demon, but the forest was still burnt down and he was blamed for its destruction.
