Chapter 22:
EP 22 - Hero & Lucius vs EVIL(3)
Elves marry the strong. So, hearing the rumors that the hero who would defeat the demon king would be her husband, Princess Erina fled the elf kingdom. She claimed that she was leaving to conceive the seed of the hero.
Too vulgar of an excuse? Well, it’s an eroge, so that’s par for the course. Of course, this ridiculous excuse was nothing more than a facade. Her real intention was to defeat the demon king herself and put an end to any marriage talk.
However, as soon as she left the forest, Erina was chased by vicious monsters and ended up being saved by the hero, joining his party afterward. And in the ending where the hero chooses Erina, she would say.
“Well, I suppose it can’t be helped. You’re the hero who defeated the Demon King, after all. But if you marry me, you won't be able to go on adventures you enjoy, and as you're not an elf, you can't ascend to the throne. Is that okay with you?”
As I was pondering Erina’s story early this morning, I suddenly had this thought. If Erina left the forest under the pretext of bearing the hero's child, couldn't I have sex with Erina if I defeated the demon king?
Facade aside, Erina is the princess of the elf kingdom in an eroge. No matter how independent or bratty she may act, a princess must continue the bloodline. If the hero was human, the result was a half-elf, but if it's a half-elf, the child would be a full elf. From the elf kingdom’s perspective, Erina marrying me would be better.
I started considering the idea more carefully. If I defeated the demon king instead of Erina and then smashed the hero's skull when he was exhausted, no one would know if the hero died at the hands of the demon king or me.
