This Eroge Won't Make Me Fall!

"AHH! FUCK!"

With her hand on her eye, the princess screamed in pain. The ritual of opening the Hell's Doors also required the performer's blood.

The lady was initially planning to smack the living shit out of the emperor, but just as she saw the princess with the wound, she started seeing red and struck down on the real culprit.

The chances of her being coerced into this by the Imperial Family were exceedingly low. Despite her current state, the lady had indeed been the child of a ducal house as well as the fiancee of the crown prince, she knew just how much the entire family treasured this girl.

"I liked you too, Ana."

"Fuck!"

"I thought it was cute when you used to call me 'big sister' and chase me around like a little chick. When did you turn into such a bitch?"

"W-why are you doing this—"

The lady twisted the chair leg still wedged in the princess' eye.

"AHHH!"

A bloodcurdling scream escaped the princess. Unable to watch anymore, Alete tried to rush toward the princess, but before he could move, Kaiser suddenly popped up behind him.

The lady shifted her gaze over to Kaiser who had ignored the shadows and stopped the Crown Prince. She knew that if he wanted to, he could have already knocked down everyone here and then killed her twice, no thrice over before she could even finish blinking. But the simple reason both he and the Death Queen stopped was the two little fairies moving around.

"What's happening here, aunt?"

"They threw my partner in hell! How trash is that, Ophy?" Titania said, floating about casually.

The other fairy was slightly stunned by her nonchalance.

"Isn't that worrying?"

"What? Why?"

"I mean, if he dies you'll lose a part of your soul?" Ophelia's tone was too questioning as if she wasn't sure if the same rules applied to her aunt.

"Why would he die?" Titania asked, in the same way, one would ask about the weather.

"He won't? I mean... that's hell?"

"Nah, this girlie said she'll save him. Let's go, lady! We have stuff to do!"

The lady smiled at the fairy's words. She didn't know if the fairy held immense confidence in her guard or if she didn't care, either way, she was too scared to hold the same attitude.

Pulling the princess down, she spoke to the emperor.

"Open the doors to hell."

"What—"

"I'll kill this little bitch otherwise. Open it."

"So that's why you're doing this!" The princess interjected. "You're fighting for that fucker!"

The people inside the room were stunned by the malice that dripped out of Anatolia's words. Their eyes widened and spines straightened up at the sheer change from her usual attitude.

"I didn't know how that bastard was taken away, but now you want to fight for him! I knew it, you cursed evil wench, you sure suit that Euge—"

A thwack rang out.

Then again.

And then again.

The princess' head was smashed into the wall over and over. The wedged leg of the chair poked around and her screams of pain intensified, making even the hardened warriors on the scene flinch. Yet, the lady did not bat an eyelid.

"No one likes a barking dog."

"Kaha..." Anatolia chuckled.

Even after being subjected to that torture, her maddened smile didn't disappear.

"You want to run after him to Hell? Do it! I'll open the doors for you!"

The lady smiled and started dragging the princess by her hair. Following her, all the Emperor's shadows nudged everyone into the room to walk along.

As if she didn't even realize she was being pulled, the princess continued screaming.

"Go you wench! Go and die! You think you can save him?"

The servants and the other staff in the palace could only watch as the top brass of the Empire was being dragged away at the point of a blade, half of them were unable to even notice the lady.

"It's already too late! TOO LATE! He must have died already!"

The lady's pace hastened. The princess continued her maddened mutterings before breaking into a loud laugh.

"Each hour here is a fucking day in hell, you wench! Do you think he can survive for ten days!? TEN DAYS!?"

The lady stopped.

Her throat dried up.

Ten days.

Would he be awake for ten more days? Even people who said that they never sleep had a wink or two, but just that would be enough to make her guard forget her.

The lady's steps began again.

"So what?" she muttered in a low voice. "I'll just make him remember."

She had had enough of conceding.

The lady dragged everyone to the dungeon, and then to the hidden room.

The Imperial Family was stunned at the confidence of the lady as she dragged them along. How this seemingly unknown person knew their secrets, was too shocking for them to accept, yet they had no choice but to do so.

As their eyes fell on the rows of bodies and the glowing circle, Alete, and his other siblings gagged. The Emperor frowned as well.

The lady did not miss all these reactions. She was more confused as she realize the mad bitch in her hands had done everything on her own. From making the world forget her to the sacrifices.

"You sure charged it up more than necessary," the lady said. The glow of the magic circle was too strong. It did not need any other sacrifice to run for now.

"I had a demon to bring out, kahaha!"

The lady pulled the princess along to the center of the magic circle. Instead of asking the princess to wound herself, she yanked out the wood sticking out her eye.

The princess screamed in pain again, her screams merging with her laughter as her blood dripped out of her empty eye socket and onto the center of the magic circle.

"Open it," The lady commanded.

The princess muttered a chant in an ancient language, and the sky started to tremble.

A crack appeared in the space in front of them as demonic energy radiated out. A black portal was formed mid-air, leading straight to Balam's territory in Hell.

"Hahaha! Go, go to your death, bitch! I've fucking won!"

"Death?" The lady scoffed. She pulled the princess up and met her remaining eye.

Many thoughts flashed through her mind, from taking her along to gouging out the other eye as well, but decided against them.

"I'll come back," she whispered. "And I'll skin you alive. This revenge won't just be mine, after all. Enjoy whatever days you have left, princess."

With that, the lady tossed the princess away.

Titania floated over to the lady and she took a step forward. Just before she entered the portal, she stopped.

The lady urgently turned back and looked at Alete von Tantalus Atreus. The crown prince was still staring at her with rage in his eyes.

The lady pulled out the ring on her left hand and tossed it over to Alete. The crown prince grabbed the ring instinctively and realized it was the same ring that he wore.

His engagement ring.

By the time the crown prince could look up again, the lady was already gone.
