Kyonyuu Fantasy Gaiden/Characters

Lute Hende I
The primary protagonist of the story. Graduated dead last from the Knight Academy, but by the end of the previous game's events, he was crowned King of the Kingdom of Edelland.


 * Accidental Pornomancer He still doesn't have any idea that he's actually, which is part of the reason why he's unbeatable in bed.
 * Achievements in Ignorance Not as much as in the first time around, but he still has a few moments where he pulls of unthinkably difficult tasks without being fully aware of how he actually did it.
 * Almighty Janitor As said, he graduated dead last in his class at the Royal Knight's Academy, and yet eventually managed to become the King. However, in terms of international opinion, he's still seen in a low light, because they consider him just the king of some second-rate kingdom. There's also his reputation for being.
 * Cannot Spit It Out It's not so much that he can't tell the women he loves, that he loves them. It's that if he ever tries to say it to one of them while in front of the rest... He can actually FEEL their death glares at him.
 * Chivalrous Pervert He constantly thinks and talks about boobs, to pretty much everyone, but at the same time, he genuinely loves each of the women in his harem and does his best to make them happy and feel good when they're with him. He's very honest and straightforward with those he's around, especially the women, and yes he has an obvious thing for breasts, but he still treats them as people first. Something that some of them received very little of until actually meeting and getting to know him.
 * Chivalric Romance His relationship with each of the women in his harem is based on love, and he treats them as people (and so they can feel like women too).
 * Danger Deadpan Even people who are close to him are still surprised by how calm he is in just about any situation no matter how much potential he might be in.
 * Does Not Know His Own Strength Literally. He still doesn't know that . Shamsiel has made a point to keep this secret on the grounds that she feels he's better off not knowing. However, at a few points in the story, she makes a few comments that suggest that were Lute aware and able to wield his true powers/potential, he could have basically overcome any of the obstacles they faced with ease.
 * Good in Bed Any woman he's ever been with says he is the best in bed, period..
 * Ignorance Is Bliss Even after all this time, he still doesn't know that.
 * Jerk with a Heart of Gold Most people when they first meet him think he's just a Handsome Lech mixed with some moments of Jerk Ass, but in reality he's one of the nicest people you'll ever meet. Comes as a complete shock to said people when they finally understand this.
 * Lost Aesop Split Seeds played a sizable part in the last story, but there's no use nor mention of them in this one.
 * Nerves of Steel Nobody quite knows how, why, or where his courage comes from, but he is renowned for it. The only thing he seems to fear is upsetting his women.
 * Obfuscating Stupidity: Where Lute is just an idiot and where he's smart is a fuzzy line. While it's eventually clear he lets people believe he's a moron if it will benefit him, even they after knowing better still aren't entirely sure just how true this actually is, and Lute even has to clarify a few times when he was invoking this trope and when he wasn't because the confusion gets so bad.
 * Poor Communication Kills Lute's laid-back nature combined with his habit of talking about breasts and making jokes tends to make a bad first impression on people. Which he's fine with, because usually he's secretly trying to find out someone's true intentions before actually saying or doing anything of importance with them.
 * His poor word choices almost get him imprisoned in Fronce:.
 * Running Gag For all intents and purposes, Lute's intelligence and actual competence as a ruler. In that, just about everyone he meets thinks he is either a pervert or an idiot based on their first impression of him, but at the same time, they are all eventually proven wrong. Much to their shock and disbelief. Even HE says that he is constantly being told by people that they underestimated him.
 * By the end of the story,.
 * Sleep Cute Shamsiel thinks he's so cute when he's sleeping..
 * To Win Without Fighting Lute himself isn't very skilled in actual combat, so he tends to look for the more peaceful way to solve problems, and it has been very surprising how successful he is and how far he has come by doing this.
 * Tranquil Fury Lute is one of the most laid-back guys you can ever meet, but even he has a few moments where he gets angry, but even then he's able to keep his temper in check.
 * Later that very day, . Sure enough, he does exactly that.
 * Another surprising example is actually toward Shamsiel and Gladys, . This catches them both off-guard and silences them immediately.
 * Underestimating Badassery So many people underestimate Lute's competence, intelligence, kingship, and overall badassness.
 * Unfortunate Names Apparently, outside of Edelland, Lute has numerous nicknames among the foreign nations such as: His Lewdness, His Lasciviousness, the Parvenu King, and the Tits-Loving King. He doesn't exactly care/mind though since it's all basically true.
 * You're Drinking Breast Milk Since becoming king, Emeralia, Gladys, Shamsiel, Isis, Luceria, and Roxanne's breasts (moreso than before) all began lactating. To the point where Lute has them draw straws each day to be on "Milk Duty" which is where.
 * He also drinks the breast milk of later on in the story.
 * He also drinks the breast milk of later on in the story.

Shamsiel Sahar Hende
A succubus that fell in love with Lute in the first story and helped him out practically since the beginning. By now, she lives out in the open with Lute as his wife/queen (or rather, as ONE of his queens/wives). "Voiced by: Miyu Inoue aka Kanematsu Yuka (JP)"


 * Absolute Cleavage 3 words: See her image?
 * Ambiguously Bi Make no mistake. She's a succubus, and Lute is the man she loves most. However, she does occasionally join in on the action when Lute is with other girls. . She even calls Emeralia "cute".
 * Asskicking Equals Authority Neither she nor Lute married one another because they were powerful. That said, they actually.
 * Authority Equals Asskicking Now that she's queen (consort), she is able to live out in the open, so she interacts with humans other than Lute more often. As such, she enjoys asserting her authority and demands to be treated with respect. If not, she threatens to eat them..
 * Berserk Button She isn't fond of people threatening or insulting Lute. Same goes for herself, she hates it when people refer to her as "devil", "demon", or just "succubus" and enunciates many times that she is to be referred to as "Your Highness Shamsiel".
 * Blue Blood Shamsiel is a succubus, which is the 2nd highest ranked of all demon species. Now that she has officially married Lute and lives with him openly as a queen consort, she loves opportunities to remind everyone that they should refer to her as "your highness Shamsiel" and act pompous at times. The thing is, she does this teasingly so no one minds. Except for the addressing her part, which she DOES mean when she tells them to address her properly.
 * Break the Cutie Her story arc in this one is very much this.
 * Brought Down to Badass In the first game, she was easily the most powerful person in any room. To Game Breaker levels with all of her abilities together. This time around? She's still the most powerful person in any room she enters . However, this time around they do seem to have toned her powers back a bit.
 * Brutally Honest Let's put it this way: At one point she says "" in a room full of people after being . Suffice to say, Shamsiel is probably the most honest and straight-to-the-point person in the entire story.
 * Erotic Eating Would you expect any less from a succubus?
 * Eyes of Gold They glow in the dark too!
 * Glowing Eyes of Doom Her yellow eyes glow in the dark.
 * Intergenerational Friendship Considering how old she actually is (somewhere between over 500 to over 1000 years old), anyone she befriends is considered to have this sort of a relationship with her.
 * I Want My Beloved to Be Happy Her love for Lute is deep, and she demonstrates this to incredible levels that she would do anything if it meant Lute could be happy. Good news for her, is that Lute is the same toward her.
 * Mama Bear She's very protective of Lute (though definitely not in a motherly way). She's also extremely protective toward her subjects/subordinates now that she's queen, going as far as to.
 * Nothing but Skin and Bones When she "devours" someone (apart from Lute or the others in his harem), they are left in this dried up state...
 * Older Thank She Looks Go ahead. Try to guess her age. I guarantee you'll be off by about... years.
 * One Woman Army Among the numerous examples of this: She is able to fight off an entire room of by herself while protecting several people from them, sending many of the ghouls flying with just a single attack from her.
 * Really 700 Years Old Her actual age is unclear. She admits to being over 500 years old in this one, but details from the first game imply she is likely over 1000 years old.
 * She's Got Legs She sure does! In fact, Lute says that she, Isis, and Gladys have the finest legs out of all the women in his harem. Also, when she was overseeing the mug production in Bustenhalter, she would let the men see her bare feet as rewards for their hard work, and apparently this was enough to always get them fired up to do more. And if that wasn't enough? Threatening to "eat" them did the trick too.
 * Sleep Cute Shamsiel thinks he's so cute when he's sleeping..
 * Surveillance Drone With her powers and experience, she is still an expert at espionage and reconnaissance for Lute.
 * Tranquil Fury Normally, Shamsiel is quite vocal whenever she's pissed off, but when Nigolinov is trying to convince Lute to re-open Pandora's Box in front of him and the other Cardinals, he asks Shamsiel if she could open it. Shamsiel gets annoyed and tells him that succubi can't. Nigolinov then says that Lute is the only one who can open it then. Shamsiel then says, "Lute, why don't you open it? ... Show'em the path." Lute wondered if he would need to make another bet with Reaper, but Shamsiel grinned and told him she doubted that would be necessary. Get that? She seemingly KNEW what was going to happen and told him to do it so that it would. Do NOT mess with Shamsiel.
 * What the Hell Hero Shamsiel still has moments where she does questionable things. Also, she still has much love for the "smell of conspiracies".

Gladys Von Wackenheim
The former leader of a rebel faction in Edelland. She was defeated by Lute in the first game, fell in love with him, and he actually pardoned her as well as made her the High Commander of the kingdom's military. "Voiced by: Yuki Sakata aka Yutaka Saki (JP)"


 * Absolute Cleavage See her image? Hardly noticeable. Am I right?
 * Action Girlfriend She is renowned as the best knight in the entire continent. Her skills in swordplay and chess are said to be unmatched.
 * Actually Pretty Funny At one point, Shamsiel, Emeralia, and Lute talk/reflect on back when Lute and Gladys first met in Bustenhalter back when she was still leading a rebel faction. Lute had asked her if she was there for a cup of coffee, which looking back, even Shamsiel thought was funny, and according to Emeralia, Gladys loves recalling and retelling that story with the others. What's also funny about it is.
 * Authority Equals Asskicking Gladys was once the leader of a rebel faction, and now she's high commander of all military in Edelland. She didn't get to be either simply because of her looks. In fact, I pity any fool that tries to mess with her that ISN'T Lute.
 * Her subordinates (the former rebels in Vunderbalt) still consider her their boss, so when and she showed up to stop them from doing something so stupid. They immediately cease and desist. It's kind of hinted that if they didn't she would have personally put the smackdown on them.
 * Benevolent Boss Her troops, the former rebels in Vunderbalt, adore her even though she's pretty tough with them. When she reunites with them during a time when they are being instigated to almost start a new rebellion, her appearance alone is enough to stop them in their tracks.
 * Black Bra and Panties At the very least, we know she wears black panties. Go ahead. Check her image to confirm.
 * Bunny Ears Lawyer: Even those that respect her acknowledge she has a bizarrely skimpy outfit, but her sheer competence means they just roll with it.
 * Badass In Charge She IS the High Commander for a reason, and no it isn't her incredible body. It's her skills, combat expertise, intelligence, and overall badassness that makes her reputed as the top knight in the entire continent.
 * Break the Cutie arranged to have rumors spread around Edelland that Gladys would.
 * Brutally Honest She rivals Shamsiel with how open she is about her wants and desires. A perfect example:.
 * Chessmaster Her reputation as a master chess player carried over. To where, Marquis Cuvier tried to challenge Lute to a game and to bet territory on it. Gladys offers to play in his place, and Cuvier backs down knowing he'd probably lose.
 * Cleavage Window And it's wiiiiiiide open.
 * Cluster F-Bomb She drops one after overhearing some guards gossiping about how she likely would never be able to marry Lute and become queen like she wanted.
 * Corrupt the Cutie Shamsiel, if you can believe that, kinda rubs off on Gladys by the end of the story. At one point Gladys even admits to it being true (though not in front of Shamsiel herserlf).
 * Does Not Like Men She says numerous times that her body exists ONLY for Lute alone to touch. No one else. See Single Target Sexuality below.
 * Everybody Has Lots of Sex Gladys rivals Shamsiel at times in terms of her libido.
 * Innuendo Backfire There are at least 2 cases of this happening to her.
 * One is when she and Lute are discussing the schedule one morning. Gladys says "", but Emeralia enters and says that that wasn't true.
 * Next is when she and Lute are visiting Bustenhalter and they start reminiscing on the first time they met there. Lute had asked her if she wanted a cup of coffee with him that day. In the present, she says "?" Cue Shamsiel appearing immediately to stop them, smuggly saying "Over my dead body!"
 * Insatiable Newlyweds For the first half of the story, she was constantly calling herself his wife, and was insatiable already.
 * Making Love in All the Wrong Places In the royal garden, by Luceria's pool IN BROAD DAYLIGHT, as well as during a diplomatic mission to negotiate in Fronce (a semi-hostile nation at the time).
 * Old Friend She knew Count Roche and Aphrodia from having visited Fronce a few times with her father back when he was alive.
 * Sex as Rite-of-Passage At one point, she tells Lute that a girl becomes a woman twice: First when they lose their virginity and again when they are married.
 * Shut Up Hannibal When Lute, Shamsiel, and Gladys travel to Fronce, and first meet Marquis Cuvier, he tries to . Lute refuses, but Gladys says SHE would play him, if he was prepared to lose everything. Cuvier recalls her reputation as a master chess player and backs down. She asks if he was afraid to challenge her, but he doesn't respond.
 * Stripperiffic Discussed and justified. Several people make comments about her outfit, mostly saying it doesn't seem appropriate for someone in her position (as High Commander ). But then, GLADYS HERSELF justifies her outfit by saying that any true wife's job is to dress to seduce her man.
 * Single Target Sexuality Lute is the only man she loves, the only man she's willing to let touch her, and the only man she feels is worthy of her. If anyone else so much as tries? Be prepared to "get shorter".
 * To Win Without Fighting Considering how widely known she is for her badassness, skills in combat, intelligence, and leadership expertise, she is widely considered the best knight in the entire continent by pretty much everyone (in and outside of Edelland). Therefore, foreign nations are utterly terrified of the notion of going to war with Edelland, and by extension her. Even Marquis Cuvier fears her (and rightly so). Thus, if anyone makes an enemy of her, they tend to surrender rather than actually trying to fight against her.
 * Prior to this story's beginning, Lingobard had declared war on Edelland between the end of the previous game and this one. The war was won during the first battle, because she captured King Bazalt I of Lingobard and they immediately ransomed him to force Lingobard to negotiate peace and surrender to Edelland, thus she won the war for Edelland in this manner.
 * Undying Loyalty To Lute of course. Woe be to anyone who tries to harm him. She also doesn't like it when people speak ill of Lute in front of her, even if it was an old friend of her father, such as Count Roche, if you trash-talk Lute, you aren't worth her time.
 * After about 2 years of waiting, . After that, . Lute's response?
 * Technically it comes into play a second time during the trip to Fronce:.
 * Earn Your Happy Ending In the previous game, despite holding a crucial role in the story, she never got her own singular route. However, this time around... She still doesn't get one. That said, . By the way, in the.
 * Babies Ever After She wants nothing more than to be blessed with bearing Lute's children. To the point that . Still... She and the rest in Lute's harem definitely want them, so... Time will tell.
 * Also, in one of the alternate endings, it shows

Luceria Von Diamante (Hende)
Daughter of the previous king of Edelland, she fell in love with and married Lute at the end of the last story.


 * Absolute Cleavage She supposedly has the biggest in the entire continent, if not the known world... I believe it.
 * Accidental Pornomancer Similar to Lute, she too is actually half-human half-demon. For her, her mother was a Nymph, so her body has properties similar to that of a succubus... Meaning that if any normal man were to try and get intimate with her, they might end up dead, but even she doesn't know this fact about herself.
 * Badass Adorable
 * Badass Princess Technically with her marriage to Lute, she's now a "Badass Queen".
 * Big Bra to Fill She has the biggest rack in the entire continent, if not world. (Here's a funny thought: She isn't even finished growing yet!)
 * Costume Porn If you thought her design and outfit in the first game was fancy, this one cranks it up to eleven!
 * Clingy Jealous Girl It goes without saying that all the girls in Lute's harem are competitive toward each other when it comes to getting Lute's attention. However, Luceria and Roxanne have seemingly the most moments of being this, due in large part to the others (especially Gladys) sneaking in extra times with Lute.
 * Does Not Know Her Own Strength She has no idea she's actually half-human, half-nymph. Therefore, she has no idea that she could potentially kill any man (other than Lute) that tries to get intimate with her, without even trying. Whether this also means she has other magical qualities and powers is unclear.
 * Even the Girls Want Her Even Queen Aphrodia says she's kind of envious of Lute for having a wife that's so endowed. She DOES have the biggest breasts of the entire continent (supposedly by reputation and that we know of thus far at least).
 * Fire Forged Friend She and those in Lute's harem may be competitive for Lute's attention and affection at times, but they all went through a great deal in the previous game in order to rescue Lute, make him king, and get to be by his side in this one.
 * Give a Whole New Meaning She gives a whole new meaning to the word "HUGE"!
 * Intergenerational Friendship Luceria and Roxanne seem to have this sort of relationship, and they actually DO get along well. The same could also technically apply to Luceria in terms of her relationships with Emeralia (her former teacher) and Shamsiel.
 * Look Who's Talking At one point, a trade embargo is enacted on the import of Edelland bras into Fronce, when discussing the matter, Princess Luceria says, "?" This coming from her?! Everyone is left speechless.
 * Ready for Lovemaking Anytime Lute returns from a trip, and he doesn't take her with him. The second he returns, she and the others who were left behind tend to greet him and proclaim their eagerness to get started (and/or, remark about how they won't be allowing Lute to sleep at all that night.)
 * To Win Without Fighting See Accidental Pornomancer above. Technically speaking, she could potentially kill any normal man that tried to get intimate with her without even trying. (Something even SHE is not aware of.)
 * Babies Ever After She wants nothing more than to be blessed with bearing Lute's children. To the point that . Still... Time will tell.

Roxanne De Desir (Hende)
The ex-wife of the previous prefect of Boan. She was one of the first woman apart from Shamsiel to meet and fall in love with Lute. Since the last story, she has married Lute and become a queen.


 * Absolute Cleavage She almost rivals Luceria in size.
 * Benevolent Boss She and the other queens are reputed as being very kind to the people they rule.
 * Berserk Button It both is and is not a surprise that she has one: She (and pretty much all the others in Lute's harem) aren't keen on any of the other girls getting carried away with spending time with Lute. Roxanne and Luceria have a number of instances where they clash with Gladys especially who is notorious for sneaking in extra time and making claims that it was her right to do so as a "wedded wife", even though she actually wasn't.
 * Cool Big Sis She and Luceria seem to get along really well, and their relationship with one another kind of has a sisterly vibe.
 * Covert Pervert Not exactly. She isn't exactly reserved about wanting to be with Lute . However, she still has subtlety such as.
 * Intergenerational Friendship Roxanne and Luceria seem to have this, and they get along incredibly well. Technically speaking, the same could also apply to her relationship with Shamsiel, except reversed generation-wise.
 * MILF Everyone, and I mean EVERYONE who sees her, thinks she is this. There's plenty of reasons to think so: Her breasts are huge and she lactates more than any other woman in Lute's harem, she's married to Lute, and she's in right the age range for it. In fact, she's the eldest, aside from Shamsiel (and even that's a technicality) of all the women Lute falls in love with. But to everyone's surprises, she ISN'T one. Why? Because, despite all the reasons just said, she has never given birth or even been impregnated before. It's explained that she has a special medical condition that causes the swelling and lactating from her breasts, but again... She has never had children, despite flat-out saying that she wants to have them. Lute has said she would make a perfect mother if she ever had children. Time will tell.
 * Ready for Lovemaking Anytime Lute returns from a trip, and he doesn't take her with him. The second he returns, she and the others who were left behind tend to greet him and proclaim their eagerness to get started (and/or, remark about how they won't be allowing Lute to sleep at all that night.
 * Babies Ever After She wants nothing more than to be blessed with bearing Lute's children. To the point that . Still... Time will tell.

Prime Minister Emeralia
The Estranged-Daughter of the previous Prime Minister, she had been forced to do all sorts of horrible things under his orders, but Lute helped her free herself from his control, and Lute pardoned her. He also made her the new Prime Minister of Edelland, which she is doing quite well as. "Voiced by: Asai Harumi aka Momozono Kaoru (JP)"


 * Absolute Cleavage See her image? X marks the spot!
 * Ambiguously Bi She loves Lute, but she has a few moments such as.
 * Aw, Look -- They Really Do Love Each Other Lute loves each member of his harem, although they're competitive for his attention at times, it's clear that they otherwise also get along quite well. As for her personally, she and Lute share many moments, including a quite touching moment.
 * Black Bra and Panties Apparently... Not that she wears them all that much.
 * Brutal Honesty Now that her father isn't around, she is free to express herself all she wants. Though it has taken time, she IS getting better and better at it, the more she is around Lute and the others. Such as.
 * Conveniently an Orphan This trope doesn't exactly apply as straight as other cases since she's a grown woman by the time of this and the first game, but still... She was the child of the previous Prime Minister Bernstein and a concubine, and although she was serving the prime minister, he refused to acknowledge her as his child at all, and basically made her life a living hell to where she had to shut off her emotions to endure it. By THIS game however, she was freed from him, because he was executed at the end of the last game, so now she's technically orphaned, but at the same time, couldn't be happier.
 * Cool Big Sis She and Shamsiel bond quite a bit in the first half of the story. Both of them appreciate what they do for one another.
 * Covert Pervert In the sense that she is more reserved than most of the others. That said, once she gets started she goes ALL OUT! Perhaps a better way to say it is that during a few times when she and Lute are getting intimate, he notices that.
 * Danger Deadpan She does on occasion show fear on her face, but it's more out of surprise than actual fear, since she has deep faith and trust in those around her, and for this very reason she manages to keep calm in most situations.
 * Dangerously Genre Savvy It goes without saying that she's one of the smartest/wisest people in the series, and there are plenty of examples of this.
 * Perhaps the most important example is when.
 * Give a Whole New Meaning To the phrase "" See Making Love in All the Wrong Places below.
 * Happiness in Slavery Hold on, it's not what you think. She doesn't serve Lute as a slave, she does it because she loves him for all he has done for her. When asked whether she wanted to be his queen or not, she replied that just serving him and being able to be by his side brings her more happiness than she could ever dream of (especially compared to how she was before she met Lute).
 * I Just Want My Beloved to Be Happy Her devotion to Lute almost rivals Shamsiel in how far she would go to protect Lute. Again though, he would do just as much to protect her as well.
 * In fact, when . Even Shamsiel herself is touched by this.
 * Making Love in All the Wrong Places She and Lute make love in a Cathedral... In broad daylight... Practically ON THE ALTAR!
 * Nerves of Steel For someone with no combat skills, she sure is brave. See Undying Loyalty below.
 * Only Sane Woman: While even she has her moments of being a sexpot, she's generally the one woman of Lute's coterie who can force herself to focus on important matters when push comes to shove.
 * Put on a Bus She has a much bigger role in the 1st half of the story, but not as much in the 2nd half.
 * Ready for Lovemaking She can act as reserved as she wants, but Lute can see right through her, and knows exactly when she's up for some action.
 * Sinister Minister Inverted, big time. She is NOTHING like the corrupt bastard whom she wasn't even able to properly call "her father". She's really good at the job, and people ARE starting to trust her more. That being said, there are those who keep bringing up her traitorous past and try to use it to discredit her, but thankfully Lute vouches for her every time this happens (much to her appreciation).
 * Undying Loyalty Her devotion to Lute is as deep as any of the rest in Lute's harem, and at times she even gives Shamsiel a run for her money in this department. Such as when . There was also.
 * Wise Beyond Her Years If there's one good thing that came from her time serving her father, Bernstein, it's that she learned how to handle the job of being a Prime Minister, and thanks to her not being an evil jackass like him, she's actually able to do the job in a way that helps the people and her king (Lute). She does it so well that even Marquis Cuvier feels that Edelland's prosperity is due to the combined efforts of Lute, Gladys, and Emeralia.
 * X Marks the Spot Sure does. See her image? See Absolute Cleavage above.
 * An interesting case to be honest:, but she also feels that simply being able to serve him and be by his side is more than she could have ever dreamed of for herself. That being said,

Isis Petrovna Elenskaya
She was Lute's classmate during his time at the Royal Knight's Academy. She was the 2nd highest scoring graduate of the class and the top female graduate to ever come from the Academy. She fell in love with Lute during the events of the last story and by this story's events, she has become a member of Lute's harem of wives/lovers. "Voiced by: Alice Sakurai (JP)"

"Isis: "Please enjoy my body to your heart's content.""
 * Absolute Cleavage You betcha!
 * Action Girlfriend She's the top female graduate from the Royal Academy. Apart from Gladys, she's the top female swordswoman in the kingdom.
 * Berserk Button She doesn't like people calling her names, nor does she like when other people try to peek at her... Except Lute of course.
 * Be Yourself After all they've been through and all the time they've known each other, Lute still pushes her to be herself when she's with him. She tells him that she at times wonders if she's worthy to be his bodyguard, given how great a man she sees him as. He in turn tells her that he doesn't mind her being casual around him, whether alone or in front of others. It's especially addressed when they are shown having a night alone together. He pretty much orders her to call him "Lute" in a casual manner so she could be this when with him. She does, and the two share a wonderful night making love together.
 * Bodyguard Crush She is Lute (and the queens') personal bodyguard, and she is in love with Lute, to the point that she is also a member of Lute's harem of wives/lovers.
 * Bodyguarding a Badass She even discusses this with Lute that she feels somewhat amazed that SHE is bodyguarding such a great man as he is..
 * Brutal Honesty ZigZagged. She loves Lute completely, but is too shy to express it as openly as the rest of Lute's wives/lovers. However, when they two of them are alone, she tells him things like how great he is in bed, and how she wants nothing more than for him to lay her down and ravage her body to his heart's content. Which he does and she enjoys it every bit as much as him.
 * Cannot Spit It Out She loves Lute with all her heart, but in the course of this story, she never tries to assert herself to seek more of his attention like the others in his harem do. Instead, she shrinks off to the sidelines. That said, she will glare daggers if any of the other girls try to get Lute to say "I love you" in front of her or the rest of them.
 * Cleavage Window Her outfit has them practically overflowing from it.
 * Continuity Nod As she and Lute lie in bed together after making love, Lute strokes her hair as she drifts off to sleep, and as he starts to do the same, he begins to imagine a possible life he could have had with her. No doubt a callback to Isis' route from the first game.
 * Another nod comes later in the game one morning, she offers Lute some orange juice she squeezed for him. She had done the same in the first game as well back when he was High Commander.
 * Coitus Uninterruptus Her with Lute is an example of this: One night a week, Lute and one of the ladies is allowed to have a night alone together so that they can have this.
 * Does Not Know Her Own Strength She and Motaire protect Lute from Assassins and defeat them in a single blow. Then, Motaire . Isis responds by telling him not to ask that, and then promptly whoops his ass in a single hit. He says something else, and she once more hits him and apologizes afterward, because she didn't mean to beat him so badly.
 * Do You Want to Copulate? When she and Lute are having their night alone, they were going to make love anyway, but she still asks if he would ravage her . He in turn asks her if she wanted him to. She nods yes and tells him to "enjoy her body to his heart's content." Then they do exactly that.
 * Everybody Has Lots of Sex You betcha! As one of Lute's harem of wives/lovers she and the others make love to Lute so much that they had to come up with rules to share time with Lute among them all. The rules?.
 * Flip Personality For some reason, she's shown as much more timid and soft-spoken in this game compared to how she was in the first.
 * Good People Have Good Sex See Everybody Has Lots of Sex and Do You Want to Copulate? above.
 * Hold Me She very much enjoys being in Lute's embrace, and he feels the same about hers.
 * I Just Want My Beloved to Be Happy This might be a part of why she's so timid this time compared to the rest of the women in Lute's harem.
 * This also comes into play, because she already knows Lute is going to make her feel incredibly good, so she in turn tries her damnedest to resist orgasming before she's sure Lute is feeling just as good in return.
 * Just Like Heaven How she feels when making love to Lute.
 * Kick the Dog She literally does this to Motaire at one point, although he kind of had it coming... I mean, what did he expect would happen when he asked her ? She tells him NO! and kicks his ass! (Twice)
 * Lovable Sex Maniac All of those in Lute's harem kind of are this to varied degrees, especially since the events of the first game.
 * More Deadly Than the Male Of the 2 top Royal Guards in Edelland: Motaire and herself. She is more dangerous, because at one point she gets angry at Motaire and promptly whoops his ass in one hit... Without even using her sword.
 * Naughty by Night She doesn't even allow herself to call him Lute hardly ever since he became King, but when night comes... . She does and they do.
 * Old Friend Of sorts. She had been in the same class as Lute in the Royal Knight's academy, but in those days, she thought very lowly of Lute (as did everyone else). These days she deeply regrets how she was in those days toward him, but is also very grateful to have at least known him since then. Technically speaking, one might say that she may very well be the girl in Lute's harem that he has known the longest . Lute even told her in the previous game that he developed his love of breasts, because of Isis.
 * Put on a Bus She gets very little screen time in this story, despite her huge part in the first one. Partially because of her acting more timid this time around, and partially just because.
 * Quirky Household She's a member of Lute's harem of wives/lovers. They live by set rules where: . In fact, she's the first we see in this situation (on-screen).
 * Ready for Lovemaking When she enters the room on the night she and Lute are to be alone together, her expression on her face says it all.


 * She's Got Legs You better believe it! In fact, Lute thinks that she, Shamsiel, and Gladys have the nicest legs of all the members of his harem.
 * Shrinking Violet She may lack the hair color, but she has certainly become a lot more timid since the previous story for some reason.
 * Single Target Sexuality She makes it VERY clear. Her body is only for Lute. He alone is the only man allowed to touch or even see her in any sexual manner.
 * Sleep Cute She and Lute make love to each other one night, and they fall asleep cuddling each other. Right before Lute falls asleep, he brushes her hair to the side, causing her to smile at him in her sleep.
 * Stocking Filler See She's Got Legs above.
 * Their First Time In neither this story, nor during the previous, do we actually know how/when she lost her virginity in the canon route. However, by the events of this story, we can assume that it was with Lute sometime after the ending of the first game, because she and the other members of Lute's harem are said to have intercourse pretty much daily.
 * They Wasted a Perfectly Good Character Dear. God...Poor Isis! In the harem route of the last game, she was the only woman to not have an H-scene with Lute during the entire route's events. She had her own route and was part of a few group sessions in the epilogue, but as far as the canon is concerned, she never got her own scenes with Lute. That seemingly carried over, because in this story she only gets a single H-scene, and maybe 1 other minor group H-scene at the very end. We never even got to see her canon first time with Lute. Such a waste!
 * Unfit for Greatness It's hinted that apparently the reason why she doesn't assert herself as much as the rest of those in Lute's harem of wives/lovers is because she feels like she is unworthy to be able to serve a man as great as Lute, which he dismisses saying that she is more than worthy of him than he likely is for her. Hence she doesn't try to get him to marry her nor have children for him despite she clearly being just as earnest for it as the rest.
 * Unfortunate Name She shares a first name with a certain unlikeable terrorist organization.
 * Very Punchable Man Motaire opens his big mouth when he hears an embaressing secret of hers, so she pummels him with her bare hands leaving his face swollen and bruised.
 * Who Are You Calling Names? She didn't appreciate being called by Assassin A, B, and C.
 * X Marks the Spot Somewhat..
 * You Fool! When asked about by Motaire, she tells him NOT to ask about them "You Asshole!"
 * Zettai Ryouiki Even in her new outfit, she's still type B - Over-the-knees with boots.

Nellis
A court magician for the Kingdom of Lingobard.


 * Absolute Cleavage Positively absolute!
 * A-Cup Angst I know what you're thinking. And you're right. She is NOT an A-cup. However, she does notice and acknowledge that of all the women Lute surrounds himself with. Her boobs are the smallest, and thus she gets a bit self-conscious about it, and wonders if that was partially why he didn't bother to touch her for so long. . Fair reason to be honest.
 * Because You Were Nice to Me Like pretty much every girl before her, she starts to fall for Lute for this reason.
 * Belly Dancer Her outfit kind of reminds one of this.
 * Break the Badass She's quite loyal to those in Lingobard, despite how they mistreat her..
 * Corrupt the Cutie She was a virgin when she met Lute, and aside from knowing how to have a Date With Rosie Palms, is overall inexperienced. And then....
 * Date With Rosie Palms After she acts as Lute's Milk Maid the first time, she felt so much pleasure that she could hardly walk afterward. She goes back to her room and ruminates over what had just happened and she admits to herself that she craved more. Her hands start wandering, and she was riiiight about to go this route, but stops when she remembers her mission.
 * Easily Forgiven Lute pardons and forgives her several times for her crimes and conspiracies against him. It partially has to do with the fact that she is very honest, and smart enough to Know When to Fold'Em. She knew that she and Argent were being used by Bazalt, so when Lute kept calling them out on their crimes, she was the first to wisely fess up and ask for mercy..
 * Fortune Teller Go figure. She has magical powers, summoning abilities, AND she can predict the future using Tarot Cards?!.
 * Happiness in Slavery Zigzagged. She starts out in a pretty poor situation:.
 * Hypercompetent Sidekick: Unfortunately, neither Bazalt or Argent are willing to listen or treat her properly, and no matter how good she is, there's no fixing her masters' stupidity.
 * I Just Want My Beloved to Be Happy It's kind of a hard subject to discuss with her. In that, she's very protective and supportive of Argent and does a great deal risking her life and freedom for him to try and accomplish his goals, but once the story ends, she chooses to stay with Lute rather than him.
 * Immodest Orgasm Supposedly Lingobard women are reputed for not making much noise in bed... Then she met Lute... ... ... She was quiet for maybe the first 2 seconds, after that? This. SO MUCH THIS!!!
 * Jerk with a Heart of Gold Her working for Argent and by extent Bazalt has her do many terrible things to the people of Edelland such as . In truth, she is actually a caring person.
 * Nerves of Steel A few times in the story, . During said times, she is able to.
 * Only Sane Woman Only one out of the whole treacherous bunch from Lingobard who has any real sense. Sense enough to take Duke Cuvier's warnings about Lute Hende I not being the dumbass upstart nobodies ever even heard of until today. Nellis even had enough competence to deal with any lingering tagline to their plot against the Edelland Throne, while constantly reminding her idiot charge not to look down on their suspect target. Whom of which she predicted had pieced together whose behind all the assassination attempts.
 * Put on a Bus After the first half of the story with the incidents are resolved, she and Argent are.
 * She's Got Legs You can clearly see them through that transparent skirt she wears.
 * Stripperiffic Her attire is very much this. Although, one might argue it as justified since she, so the more she is able to divert someone's attention is probably all the better for her.
 * Tarot Troubles She uses tarot cards to look into the future. According to the cards "". The results?
 * The Bus Came Back Toward the very end of the story,.
 * Their First Time Following Lute's defeat of, while there is a massive celebration going on, Lute takes her out to an adjacent hallway, and then Coitus Ensues. Once all is said and done, Lute made her orgasm so much and so hard that she faints and Lute has to carry her back to her room. She wakes up barely able to stand, much less walk, and much less.
 * To Win Without Fighting She's a magician, but she never uses her magic directly in or for combat situations outside of summoning golems or other entities to do it for her.
 * Trojan Horse She was given to Lute as a "gift" from Lingobard. Her mission was to help assassinate Lute, and she does make numerous attempts, but she is thwarted each time and Lute himself convinces her that it was time to fold 'em or else..
 * Underboobs Her top consists of basically a single bit of cloth that only lays over her breasts and honestly barely covers her nipples.
 * Victim Falls For Rapist She was "given" to Lute as a gift from Lingobard to be his personal "milk maid", so it's a little unclear as to what applies or not. Lute didn't get her to fall for him by raping her. Instead, he made sure he treated her well enough to where she eventually pulls a Mistreatment-Induced Betrayal on her Lingobard masters. That said, Their First Time did contribute a bit to the decision.
 * Walking Shirtless Scene Her "top" is basically a single piece of cloth that just barely covers across her nipples, but this might be intentional since her mission is to be a sort of bait for Lute, so an outfit that utilizes or emphasizes her rack is a smart move.

Queen Aphrodia
The Queen of Fronce, a kingdom that borders Lingobard, and was once THE major power in the continent. Supposedly, her body and especially breasts are considered "Fronce's greatest treasure".


 * Absolute Cleavage And how! Her breasts are said by some to be a National Treasure of Fronce.
 * Absolute Obedience What she says, goes. Cuvier and Roche can negotiate or try to sway her, but when she declares something specific, they all listen.
 * All Men Are Perverts When she first meets Lute, she thinks this of him, and while she isn't entirely wrong in Lute's case, she didn't realize he's actually a Chivalrous Pervert, and that he.
 * And Your Reward Is Clothes Somewhat inverted..
 * Aren't You Going to Ravish Me? Toward the end of her first meeting with Lute, she had . She awakens while Lute is fixing her armor for her... And yes, that's all he was doing... Honestly. Of course, she immediately jumps to the same conclusion anyone probably would, but Lute tells her that they had had a deal . She asked him why he didn't do more (as if she thought he didn't want to). Lute admits that of course he would want to, but a deal is a deal, so maybe next time. This in turn convinces her that he hadn't.
 * Later, she would think to herself.
 * Badass in Charge Some of what she says and does almost reminds one of Lute in terms of how wise she is and willing to take charge and do things personally.
 * Badass in Distress During the hunt after settling the.
 * Beauty Equals Goodness She is widely adored by her subjects as a fair and wise ruler, and yes, she's also very beautiful. So much so that her body is thought of by some to be a national treasure to Fronce.
 * Berserk Button NEVER try to get between her and her lingerie, specifically a bra. She needs them to support her queenly rack, so when Cuvier !
 * As a matter of fact, ... Much to her frustration.
 * Big Bra to Fill It actually has plot relevance. Her size is somewhere between Luceria and Roxanne's, and due to this, she has a definite need for bras for support, and when she is unable to get new ones, her old ones tend to wear out.
 * Big Breasts, Big Deal Apparently her bust is so perfect that many call it a national treasure of Fronce. It actually DOES affect the plot at one point.
 * Brutal Honesty Not initially, but after she falls for Lute, she doesn't exactly mince words anymore in front of him.
 * Even the Girls Want Her It's stated repeatedly that she's considered so beautiful by her people that her body is considered "Fronce's Greatest National Treasure". Gladys at one point remarks that compared to Aphrodia, she's almost ashamed to call herself a woman (then again, this could be taken as simple flattery since they were former acquaintances). There's also one very clear instance where Aristera and Droit are performing their duties as her personal maids, and as they are helping her get dressed, the two are seemingly in awe of her gorgeous (exposed) breasts.
 * SHE even has a reverse moment of this, when, supposedly all the women in the room including Queen Aphrodia herself is seen with a visibly flushed look on her face.
 * Expy: Of two French Bourbon Monarchs. Louis XIV, where she gets her assertiveness and her nigh totally revered status as the one in charge, and Louis XV, who was known to be rather amorous and under whom France had started to decline in influence after the numerous wars of his predecessor.
 * Fixed Encounters She personally arranges 2 secret meetings with only herself and Lute..
 * "Glad to Be Alive" Sex Happens at least twice with her (on-screen at least). First is . The next time was.
 * Good All Along Despite there being some tension between Edelland and Fronce, she is in no way villainous. Except technically in one way: . That said, after, she orders Cuvier to cease any hostile action or schemes toward him (even threatening Cuvier with severe consequences if he tried anything else).
 * Good People Have Good Sex She's a good ruler and cares for the safety of her kingdom and her people, just as Lute does for his. And when she and Lute make love, she later tells him that it was the most and greatest pleasure she had ever felt. (To the point where she wished she could experience it every day if she could. Lute concurred.)
 * Humble Hero Unlike her (apparent) predecessors who flaunted and spent the wealth of Fronce into decline, she tries to keep things simple and modest in an effort to try and help her kingdom grow in the right ways. As for Aphrodia herself, she's humble enough to admit she isn't as wise a ruler as people boast of her (which is the wise and humble answer), and although she speaks using things like The Royal We, that's mostly when she's being ceremonious or talking to subordinates.
 * I Just Want My Beloved to Be Happy In the sense of both.
 * If You EVER Do Anything to Hurt Him... Aphrodia makes this kind of a proclamation twice. First time was after Lute, she tells Cuvier that he was forbidden from making anymore attempts toward Lute, lest he incur her wrath (You kill him, I KILL YOU! Basically). The second time is right before Lute and the others are departing from Fronce, she publicly declares that as long as she reigned as Queen of Fronce, no one shall harm Lute or his kingdom (at least no one under her jurisdiction that is) as their two kingdoms were now allies, and must preserve bonds of loyalty "as though they are lovers". Lute of course reciprocates this toward her.
 * Inside Joke Lute first met her in secret on a hill outside of Boan. Lute introduces himself as "Rumpelstiltskin" and she introduces herself as "Swordswoman Aphrodia". Later in the story, Lute responds to an invitation to go to Fronce, and in the letter he writes "To the Queen atop the Hill" much to her amusement. Also, when they formally meet for the "first time" in Fronce, he tells her he is also known as "Rumpelstiltskin". Again, to her amusement.
 * I Surrender, Suckers She both falls for and employs this.
 * When she falls for it: . He then receives his prize.
 * When she employs it: . Too bad for her, it backfires, because . So he once more overwhelms her in sex.
 * When she employs it again: . As a matter of fact, . Which is EXACTLY how SHE herself describes it to him.
 * King Incognito The first time she meets Lute, she isn't wearing her queenly attire and she doesn't reveal her true identity. Instead, she is dressed as a knight, . She also dons the armor for a.
 * Living Aphrodisiac She is 3/4 demonic. Her father was half-demon and her mother was a fairy, so it makes sense considering a common trait of demon species in their world is that they're apparently great in bed. Lute admits she has an amazing and beautiful body,.
 * Noticeable Nipples See her image? No matter what she wears, they're noticeable.
 * Old Friend She and Gladys knew each other from back when they were younger.
 * Properly Paranoid She has it to where, even Cuvier and Count Roche are required to undergo inspections before seeing her in person in her throne room. Such is the life of a queen of a former continental super power. (Not to mention, considering she knows Cuvier is a scheming prick, it makes even more sense.)
 * Ready for Lovemaking There's at least 3 instances:
 * The first time is less obvious, because she was trying to hide it. It was after.
 * The second time was immediately after.
 * The third time is in the epilogue {{spoiler|it's first thing in the morning, Lute is just opening his eyes and what does he see? Aphrodia (fully nude) hovering her tits over him. GEE... I WONDER WHAT HAPPENED NEXT?
 * {{spoiler|Rescue Romance}} A fairly sizable factor as to why she falls for Lute is because {{spoiler|he saved her life from the Cyclops that was seconds away from smashing her like a bug}}.
 * Sex as Rite-Of-Passage Of sorts. After she falls in love with Lute and they make love, she tells Lute that he "made her a woman". According to her, this means {{spoiler|that when they are together, she is able to forget all her troubles, status, and work and freely indulge in pleasure}}.
 * Sexier Alter Ego She meets Lute disguised as a swordmaiden/knight and then when they are formally introduced, she is revealed to be the Queen of Fronce. Therefore, which is the sexier alter ego is up to the viewer's preference.
 * Silk Hiding Steel See her image? She usually wears that dress of hers, but a couple times she meets with Lute wearing the armor, and when she does so, it usually means she's about to fight someone. Which is to say, she can probably whoop some ass on her own.
 * Sleep Cute When she meets Lute for the very first time, she {{spoiler|loses a "duel" with him and thus allows him to fondle and suck her breasts. He of course does this, but to her surprise, it feels so good that she orgasms repeatedly to the point where she faints in his arms. She awakens a few minutes later lying on the ground as Lute is fixing her armor for her. He tells her she has a gorgeous body}}.
 * So Beautiful It's a Curse See that rack of hers? Yes. Is it nice? Yes. Is it a problem for her? Also yes. Why? Because gravity is a bitch and she has problems with wearing out bras. {{spoiler|So much so that when Marquis Cuvier places a ban on bra imports and has tariffs in place for them, she is absolutely MISERABLE, because she winds up wearing out her bras one by one. That is until Lute arrives with gifts of close to 100 bras made specifically for her}}. A gift she considers to be the best she's ever gotten.
 * Their First Time This one's hard to figure out. Aphrodia makes numerous claims that her body is basically a national treasure for the Kingdom of Fronce, and yet when she and Lute have actual sex for the first time, she makes statements that make you wonder if she actually WAS a virgin or not. At the very least, she says that Lute was the first man to ever make her orgasm from her breasts alone AND the only man to outlast her.
 * The Royal We: Tends to address herself as this a LOT. Makes sense, she is the queen and in that role she IS Fronce, hence the formality.
 * Thousand-Yard Stare Probably one of the VERY few positive examples of this trope: At one point she arranges a secret meeting with Lute {{spoiler|in Fronce, to "thank" him for giving her new, specially made, bras. She allowed him to once again grope and suck on her boobs, and eventually she has such an intense orgasm that she's left in a daze with this look on her face for a minute or so, until Lute snaps her out of it by groping her some more}}.
 * To Win Without Fighting She isn't as eager to engage in wars as Cuvier is, and tries to find better ways to get things done. That being said, {{spoiler|she meets Lute in Boan secretly, and although the two eventually agree to a duel, Lute manages to best her in this exact manner by catching her while she's distracted and forces her to admit defeat (which she does)}}. This strategy unintentionally flips back on her again when she tells Cuvier that if he wanted to try and get rid of Lute/conquer Edelland for Fronce, he would have to do so without starting a pointless and costly war by {{spoiler|somehow luring Lute to Fronce and then trying to assassinate him. Cuvier accepts these terms and decides the best way to do this would be to hurt Edelland's trade/export of bras... A move that outrages Aphrodia who needed bras and was made more and more miserable because of it, until Lute finally comes to Fronce and they settle the matter of removing the trade ban and tariffs without fighting}}.
 * Victim Falls For Rapist Sex isn't why she falls in love with Lute, but it sure helped bring them closer together. The first time they met, {{spoiler|Lute bests her in combat and fondles and sucks her boobs causing her to orgasm repeatedly to the point that she faints}}. Later on, {{spoiler|she and Lute meet secretly during his trip to Fronce, and he once again fondles and sucks her boobs causing her to orgasm repeatedly once more to the point where she drops to her hands and knees... You can guess what comes next.}} At first, she claims that she didn't exactly give him permission to do so with her, but secretly she had actually been hoping he would, so it's open to interpretation.
 * Later events throw this trope into extremely doubtful territory: {{spoiler|Aphrodia reveals she's nearly 3/4 of demonic blood, and she almost succeeds in overwhelming Lute when they actually have sexual intercourse the first time, and she implies that she had been counting on using that trait to force Lute into submission if she needed to, and she makes it clear she expected she would have had to}}. That all being said, it's not really sure where she was willing to draw a line between consent and rape, and it eventually become a moot point.
 * Wacky Marriage Proposal The morning after having spent the night making love to Lute, SHE actually proposes to him, and emphasizes that she was serious about it. Lute's answers? {{spoiler|Unfortunately they wouldn't be able to, because while they do have feelings of love toward each other, the problem is their positions as rulers of separate kingdoms. Were they to officially marry, it would mean that upon their deaths, Edelland would likely become a part of Fronce, which they both didn't exactly want for their kingdoms, because they wanted an alliance of peaceful relations so they wouldn't give up their nations' independence. They both agree on it, but at the same time, she tells him she wants to maintain they at least be lovers. See The Mistress.}}
 * The Mistress Due to politics, Aphrodia is {{spoiler|unable to actually marry Lute, despite telling him she truly wanted to. Instead, she becomes this to him. Which is the same as saying she basically becomes another member of Lute's harem of wives/lovers, but only in secret, so the public doesn't know about it}}.
 * Wise Beyond Her Years Though the previous king was considered very laid-back, she is considered far more active and clever, even by Cuvier, hence he feels she is a valuable/worthy person to rule Fronce. Also, she once states that she personally doesn't see herself as wise, but this seems to have just been her being modest, because she definitely demonstrates wisdom on a number of occasions.
 * Examples include, but aren't limited to: Appointing Aristera and Droit to be her personal maids (simply because she knew they had information/experience in Edelland (including information about Lute), {{spoiler|her willingness to agree with Count Roche's plan to instate the Knighted Bureaucracy in Fronce}}, and {{spoiler|despite having given Marquis Cuvier permission to try and assassinate Lute when he came to Fronce, she arranged to meet Lute face-to-face in secret beforehand to actually see for herself what kind of man he really was}}.
 * {{spoiler|Happiness in Slavery}} Don't misunderstand. She's the queen of one of the major powers of the entire continent. She never actually becomes this... Per say: {{spoiler|The reason this trope applies to her, has to do with the very end of the story. After Marquis Cuvier's failed attempt to force Lute to sign an alliance paper that would force them to pledge military support to Fronce, unfairly, it's publicly announced that Queen Aphrodia would serve time as an actual servant to Lute in atonement. In reality, it was just an excuse for her to stay in Edelland with her beloved Lute longer and make love to Lute all she wanted}}. So for all intents and purposes, it counts.

{{hardline}}

General Felzen
The General of Edelland's military. Youngest of the "3 Old Bastards" as Bernstein called him, Zant and Schlamm. Of the 3, he is also the most skilled in direct combat, he had been trained in martial arts and has never lost a fist fight or unarmed duel, on top that, he is also a brilliant strategist, and was second only to Wackenheim in terms of being a prolific general. "Voiced by: Yukimitsu Koshi (JP)"


 * Actually Pretty Funny These days, he laughs right alongside others at Lute's jokes. Such as after Lute returns from a long trip and spends the night with Luceria, Roxanne, Isis, and Gladys making up for lost time. The next morning Felzen asks if Lute slept well, Lute responds that he felt as though he hadn't slept at all. Felzen starts laughing heartily knowing what he meant.
 * Benevolent Boss He's tough, he's crude, he doesn't hesitate, and the soldiers he commands have great respect for him because of it.
 * Brutal Honesty He has always been known for being this, hence he used to clash with some of the others in political matters. To this day, he still speaks his mind whenever he sees something he does or doesn't agree with.
 * Berserk Button He has a temper and a number of these.
 * Cool Old Guy He enjoys his job, supports Lute completely, and is probably the 2nd best knight in the kingdom aside from Gladys.
 * Does Not Compute He, like most men (especially older ones), doesn't necessarily understand women's obsessions/needs with bras. As such, he doesn't see sanctions or tariffs against them as as much of a big deal aside from it hurting trade.
 * Fiery Redhead You better believe that if you make him mad, there WILL be consequences.
 * Papa Wolf Apparently, after Aristera and Droit left him, Motaire started seeing Felzen's niece. As you can imagine, Felzen isn't exactly thrilled about this given Motaire's previous reputation.
 * Spit Take When Roxanne mentions Motaire dating his niece, he has one of these and chokes on the beer she had poured him. He tries to be clear "They are not dating. They just... See each other now and then."

General Zant
A General of Edelland's military and Prefect of Bustenhalter. He formerly used to ridicule Lute back when he was in the Royal Knight's Academy, but since the events of the first game, he now pledges his full allegiance to him.


 * Actually Pretty Funny When Lute and co are first introduced to Cardinal Canossa and Fango, Canossa makes some rather blatantly insulting comments toward Shamsiel, Emeralia, and even Lute himself, but then Lute calls him out on it and throws it all back in his face, even using examples from scripture to prove the Cardinal wrong. After the Cardinals leave the room, Schlamm and he start laughing and congratulating Lute for not taking any crap from Canossa.
 * Badass Teacher He's one of the 3 best generals in Edelland's military and is able to teach others about the Knighted Bureaucracy.
 * Brutal Honesty
 * Berserk Button He isn't very keen on people mocking his king (Lute).
 * Cool Old Guy He enjoys his job.
 * Properly Paranoid Inverted somewhat. When they first hear that Lute is coming to visit them, Zant and Schlamm work hard to make preparations for when he arrives, and of the two of them, Zant was the more frantic and worried about doing everything he could to make Lute feel welcome. Then when Lute finally DOES arrive, everything goes fine and he's greatly relieved.

General Schlamm
A General of Edelland's military and Adjutant of the Royal Guards of Edelland. He was also from the first class of graduates to come from the Royal Knight's academy.


 * Actually Pretty Funny When Lute and co are first introduced to Cardinal Canossa and Fango, Canossa makes some rather blatantly insulting comments toward Shamsiel, Emeralia, and even Lute himself, but then Lute calls him out on it and throws it all back in his face, even using examples from scripture to prove the Cardinal wrong. After the Cardinals leave the room, he and Zant start laughing and congratulating Lute for not taking any crap from Canossa.
 * Aw, Look -- They Really Do Love Each Other Discussed by him. When . Meanwhile, Motaire, Emeralia, Zant, and Schlamm were watching this and Schlamm says "" which is a way of showing that he finally understood Shamsiel and Lute's relationship.
 * Brutal Honesty
 * Berserk Button He has a temper, he doesn't like when people bring up his age, and he also doesn't like it when people disrespect those he is supportive of such as when people speak ill of Lute.
 * Cool Old Guy He enjoys his job.
 * Only Sane Man While Zant gets worked up more easily, Schlamm tends to keep a level head in most situations, no doubt thanks to years of experience and veterancy.
 * Wise Beyond His Years Amusingly, he gives this compliment to Lute saying he's "an old mind in a young body" and is therefore a great ruler in Schlamm's eyes.

Motaire De Platine
Former classmate of Lute's from the Royal Knight's Academy. His father's name is Sexiere De Platine (you read right, that's his real name), and his family invented the bra in their world. These days, he's captain of the Royal Knights and is one of Lute's personal bodyguards (though not in the same way as Isis, his ex-fiance).


 * Actually Pretty Funny He used to not get along with Lute, but these days, he's right there laughing along with him as a friend.
 * Asshole Victim No, not like how he was in the first game. In this game he's actually a better man, but this trope applies to his one major screw up: It's all played for laughs, and if he was going to ask something so stupid, it's kind of hard to feel sorry for him.
 * Berserk Button Now that he and Lute are friends, he acknowledges him as his king and a hero. As such, when people start to slander, disrespect, insult, speak ill of, or act inappropriately toward Lute or any of Lute's wives/lovers, Motaire is one of the first to get upset and ready to dish out some punishment.
 * Brutal Honesty He actually asks . He immediately regretted this, because she got pissed and beat the crap out of him.
 * Butt Monkey He's far more competent now, but he still has one or two moments where he slips up and says something he quickly regrets..
 * Not So Above It All Since the last game, he has become good friends with Lute, even joining in on some of his jokes. Such as when Lute asks him whether he liked boobs or butts more in front of Argent, without missing a beat, Motaire goes "Boobs".
 * Not So Different Discussed by him. In one of the alternate endings, he tells Argent that he reminds him of how he used to be, before Lute became his friend and King (a self-absorbed, pipe-dream-driven, asshole).
 * Undying Loyalty It seems like he has become one of Lute's biggest supporters outside of his harem. That includes him standing up for Lute and Queen Shamsiel in Vunderbalt when Canossa was insulting them. There was also the instance when they returned to Bustenhalter and the soldiers wanted to kill Shamsiel for her supposed attack the night before on their comrades. Motaire is the first to try and tell them they were mistaken, and that if they raised their swords against Shamsiel, it'd be like doing so against Lute, whom they definitely trusted.
 * "Well Done, Son" Guy He does quite a bit to help his father, but in doing so, he's also helping the kingdom itself, so it's not as pathetic as most examples of this trope.

King Bazalt I
The king of Lingobard. After the ending of the last game, he declared war on Edelland, but he ended up getting captured and his troops had to surrender in return for his freedom. He's pretty pissed about his failure and seeks revenge on the kingdom that humiliated him.


 * Asshole Victim You can tell this idiot is related to Bobon. He has tantrums when he doesn't get his way, he hates anyone who disagrees with him, and he's abusive toward women.
 * Berserk Button Nearly everything sets him off. If you disagree with him, he screams, if you say his plans are flawed, he beats you. If you tell him NOT to do something, he'll try to have you executed, and do what he said anyway.
 * Bad Boss Suffice to say, nobody cared when he lost his position or his head.
 * Blatant Lies When all of the schemes he arranged with Nellis and Argent are thwarted, this idiot thought he could say they did it all on their own? Yeah. His word means as much as Bobon's ever did.
 * Costume Porn He has one of the most detailed outfits in the game.
 * Dropped a Bridge on Him His first act that we know of, was him getting captured and defeated by Gladys prior to the story. . History likely won't remember him all that much.
 * Jerkass: To a ridiculous extreme.
 * Jerk with a Heart of Jerk This guy is a jackass through and through. He even sought aid from the Church of Holy Rood, but was rejected, because they figured he wanted to get them to unleash some sort of divine power for him to win... Yeah... Churches don't work like that, jackass.
 * Know When to Fold'Em He doesn't know when to stop with the stupidly self-destructive schemes of revenge. At least not until his kingdom is taken from him and an ax is swinging toward his neck.
 * Hair-Trigger Temper: It easier to keep track of when he not mad. You can count it on your fingers... On one hand.
 * Hoist by His Own Petard Everyone around him (except for Argent, because Argent was just as much of an idiot) could tell that his plans of revenge against Edelland and Lute were doomed to crash and burn, and in some of their cases, they were hoping for it. Others, it was just like watching a train wreck in slow motion. ALL of his plans fail. In the end, his nephew and "servant" are imprisoned, his kingdom is annexed by those who wanted to kill, and to top it all off? He gets taken back to Edelland, and his top is chopped off.
 * Mistreatment-Induced Betrayal He's part of the reason for why Nellis eventually joins Lute's side (beating and verbally lashing at someone for their opinions tends to not make one popular). He's also partially responsible for why his own subjects in Lingobard didn't care when he was removed from his position, executed, and then Lingobard was annexed by Edelland, because by comparison, Lute wasn't nearly as demanding nor as much of a jackass to them as Bazalt was.
 * Thousand-Yard Stare When his plans are thwarted and exposed, his kingdom is annexed into the very nation he sought revenge upon and to overthrow, his nephew imprisoned, and he is to be taken back to Edelland and executed for his crimes, he doesn't struggle when they restrain him, and as they take him away, he has this.
 * Unfortunate Implications Initally, one might think Nellis is a court magician or perhaps a personal servant to Argent and the Lingobard royalty. But then, Bazalt says "Sell her to some bawdy house for all I care!" Then, she is "given" as a "milk maid" to Lute. A "gift" they say. Basically meaning...
 * Weird Beard If you can call it that. He has what seems like 2 giant long and pointed nose hairs sticking from his nostrils and the devil's pointy beard on his chin.
 * What an Idiot! This guy just doesn't know when to quit while he's ahead. His thirst for revenge on Edelland after his humiliating defeat in the war a year or so prior to this stories' events blinds him from making any sensible decisions to preserve whatever dignity he or his kingdom had left, and of course it all comes back to bite him in the ass eventually.

Prince Argent De Bonn
Prince Bobon's cousin, and heir in line for the throne of Lingobard. He thinks helping his uncle, Bazalt I get revenge on Edelland will ensure him getting crowned king. His mother's name is Lady Zanebia, who is the younger sister of Bobon's mother who was King Hagel I's first wife.


 * Asshole Victim He's like Bobon's stupidity and Motaire's former self-righteous attitude mixed into one person. This makes it incredibly easy to not feel sorry for him when bad things happen to him.
 * He does, however, have one redeeming characteristic: He not nearly as much of an asshole as Bobon was nor nearly as self-righteous as Motaire used to be. However, it's just enough he's less loathsome then they were, and just as inept as Bobon.
 * Beauty Equals Goodness Inverted. He's a pretty-boy alright, also a moron, and a self-absorbed prick. Much like Bobon and how Motaire was in the first game.
 * Berserk Button He hates it when people mispronounce his name, he also doesn't like it when he gets rejected by dark-skinned women (who in his opinion are THE best), and he also doesn't like being told that he will likely never be king.
 * Butt Monkey He's like if you took Bobon's incompetence and overall uselessness at anything, and put it in a pretty-boy like Motaire's body. This leads him to being the butt of many a joke.
 * Driven by Envy He wants the throne, he wants the throne, he. wants. the. throne. That's all there is to it. He wants to be the king of Lingobard, and according to his uncle, the only shot he has would be if he kills Lute. Things kind of take a turn for the worse in this respect, once he meets Lute or rather: Once he meets Gladys. He has a major fetish for "brown girls", so when he sees how absolutely infatuated Gladys is with Lute, it adds to his envy and contempt toward Lute for having 2 things he wants: a kingdom and a loving (brown) woman.
 * Easily Forgiven Lute forgives him time, after time, after time, AFTER TIME for repeated attempts against him. You almost start to feel like Lute does it out of pity for how much of a pathetic idiot Argent is.
 * Easily Overheard Conversation His and Nellis' cover chat when.
 * Entitled Bastard He's 3rd out of 4 in line for the throne of Lingobard, but his desire to be king is so high that it makes him blindly follow King Bazalt's order to kill Lute in return for (simply being considered) to ascend the throne.
 * The prick also thinks he had a shot with Gladys. Yes. You read right... This dimwit actually thought he was a man more than worthy of Gladys Von Wackenheim . It actually shows that he really IS related to Bobon, because Bobon felt similarly entitled to any women he wanted, regardless of their choice or circumstances.
 * For All the Marbles After a few failed schemes, Lute tells Nellis to warn him that if they tried anything else, he would invoke a condition of the prior treaty and Edelland would (by right) annex Lingobard. Which means any shot for Argent to sit on a throne would be dashed. At first it seemed like he was going to comply, but then . It goes as you expect, and the end result is exactly as he had been warned.
 * Hilarious in Hindsight While he and Nellis are imprisoned, Argent finally does some reflecting, and at one point he tells Nellis: "Looking back, Uncle was a pitiful man..." and goes even further to say "Uncle was driven by his avarice and grudge...". You can almost TASTE the irony of those statements. Especially since . So yeah... Just when you thought Argent couldn't get any dumber...
 * Hoist by His Own Petard To such a degree that he himself says this very trope word for word about himself when he looks back on how badly he did this to himself thanks to his attempts to kill Lute in his blind pursuit of the throne.
 * Hot Guys Are Bastards He sure fits this trope well. He keeps Nellis around only so he can use her for her magical skills. He otherwise could hardly give a damn about her, and instead keeps talking about how superior "brown women" are to her and all other women.
 * If You Ever Do Anything to Hurt Him... In one of the alternate endings, Gladys makes it clear that although Argent would be spared and allowed to study the Knighted Bureaucracy under her, if he made any more attempts against Lute OR if he tried anything funny with her. She would personally chop him to pieces.
 * Ignorance Is Bliss This guy being a useless idiot actually saves his ass once, because.
 * Ignorant of Their Own Ignorance See Ignorance Is Bliss above. Even HE didn't know that not being a magician could actually be helpful to a degree.
 * Kick The Dog He has a surprising number of these moments happen to him, including but not limited to: Gladys flat-out telling him that she would NEVER be with him or anyone other than Lute (as she repeatedly smooches Lute in front of him), to his face (see Single Target Sexuality below and you'll understand.)
 * Know When to Fold'Em: Zig Zagged. He DID have the brains to do this after having his plans scuttled more than a few times, but he immediately went back to his old ways when his bad habits flared up again.
 * Nellis herself tries many many times to deter him from his self-destructive path/ambition, but he would hear nothing of it, because he was too stuck in his ways believing that for royalty like himself, seeking Kingship is all there is. See What an Idiot! below.
 * Mistreatment-Induced Betrayal Despite her acting and speaking almost constantly to try and help him achieve his goals, his neglect and rude behavior toward Nellis is part of the reason why she eventually opts to side with Lute and sever all ties with Lingobard, him included.
 * Nice Job Fixing It, Villain . INSTEAD, it actually ends up . As for Argent? . He apologizes in tears and agrees.
 * Not So Different Discussed. He and Motaire have a lot in common, they both started out thinking very lowly of Lute, and let their pipe-dreams of pride and status get in the way. Hell, their standard poses look almost the same.
 * Single Target Sexuality Apparently Argent only has a thing for "dark skinned women". Which means he INSTANTLY has the hots for Gladys at first sight... Too bad for him, she also has this trope applied to her. Her target? Lute. Anyone else? NEVER!!!
 * Spell My Name with an "S" When he first meets Lute officially, Lute mispronounces his name several times . Argent gets riled up pretty easily.
 * Too Dumb to Live: After a certain point, he could have just pledged support to Lute and gotten everything he wanted, but he just had to be an imbecile and wound up with far less than he started, and it's only because Lute is a REALLY Nice Guy he wasn't executed, even though by the end of the game he's given Lute all sorts of valid reasons.
 * Nellis herself is also a big reason he survives as long as he does, because she is Dangerously Genre Savvy, she was able to . She also goes as far as to . Lute agreed to this.
 * Unfit for Greatness For starters, in Lingobard, he is 3rd in line to the throne, he's almost as stupid and simple-minded as Bobon was. He gets upset easily and if not for Nellis looking out for him, he'd have long since been caught and executed for his plots against King Lute. He is also quite rude with women, and Gladys makes it very clear that she wants nothing to do with a little pissant like him.
 * Ungrateful Bastard This idiot gets caught conspiring against Lute and the others time and again, yet Lute shows him mercy time and again, but to the very end this bastard STILL can't help himself and continues to try and cause trouble for Lute..
 * "Well Done, Son" Guy or rather "Well Done, Nephew" Guy The whole reason he's trying to take out Lute is because his uncle Bazalt I told him that if he managed to do so, he would consider (not definitely, but simply CONSIDER) appointing him as his successor as the future king of Lingobard.
 * What an Idiot! Guess he really IS related to Bobon. He is given chance after chance after chance AFTER CHANCE to cut the crap, quit going after Lute, and move on with his life, and if he had just done that he'd have likely been far better off. But, his greed and single-minded desire to become king by any means necessary ends with him losing any chance of becoming King of anything other than king of dumbasses.
 * To give a sense, . How did the plan actually go? Well....
 * What Happened to the Mouse? At the very end of the story, Lingobard is officially annexed by Edelland, his uncle had been executed, Nellis opts to stay with Lute rather than him, and he is sent back to what used to be Lingobard. What this actually means for him is anyone's guess... Basically the one thing it DOES mean is that he will NEVER be king of anything.

Church of Holy Rood
The organization in general is basically their world's equivalent of the Catholic Church.


 * Fire and Brimstone Hell Or as Saint Reaper calls it the "Valley of Hinnom".
 * Sacrificial Lamb One of the younger Cardinals tries opening Pandora's Box toward the beginning of the story to test his holiness. It serves as Saint Reaper's first appearance... And the poor bastard is deemed unworthy, and thus Saint Reaper kills him and devours his soul.
 * Saintly Church Clearly the Catholic Church of their world.
 * Corrupt Church A few of the Cardinals are under the payroll of Marquis Cuvier.
 * Sealed Evil in a Can Not exactly "evil", but Saint Reaper resides in Pandora's Box, and if anyone he deems unworthy opens the box, their soul is devoured and sent to hell.
 * Well Intentioned Extremist Some of the Cardinals tend to go a bit overboard with the idea of restoring the Church to being the dominant authority on the continent. There are also some who aren't very keen on the idea of a demon officially marrying into royalty of a kingdom.
 * Ye Olde Butcherede Englishe They all talk like this.
 * You All Look Familiar Aside from the colors of their outfits (and maybe some slight skin tone variations), all of the cardinals look exactly the same regardless of age or nationality/race.

Cardinal Agatha
The Chairman of the Council of Cardinals of the Church of Holy Rood.


 * Big Good He's a fair man and the head of the Council of Cardinals. He was one of the ones who had no problem with Lute marrying Shamsiel from the beginning. In fact, even before/without having met Shamsiel or Lute in person, he still refers to Shamsiel as just that: a person. Not a "devil" like some of the other Cardinals had.
 * Cool Old Guy When he meets Lute and Shamsiel in person, even when they make jokes and talk somewhat crudely, he doesn't get upset or insulted and actually finds them amusing.
 * Easily Forgiven When he first meets Lute and Shamsiel, he apologizes to her on behalf of the council for any prior affronts to them from events earlier in the story. Lute forgives them, and according to Shamsiel, if Lute was fine with it then it was fine with her. Then again... Agatha wasn't one of those behind any of the trouble caused by the cardinals.
 * Genre Savvy He knows that opening Pandora's Box is suicide to most people (probably himself included). Hence he doesn't allow it to leave his possession, and when it does, he gets quite upset, because it is too dangerous to just let handled freely.
 * Properly Paranoid The way he sees it, anyone who would open Pandora's Box to test themselves is already corrupted by arrogance and vanity for trying to "test" the Lord. Thus even he admits to being afraid to open Pandora's Box.
 * Reasonable Authority Figure: One of the few of his colleagues who actually is one consistently.
 * Saintly Church: He at least tries to live up to this standard, and isn't arrogant enough to think himself without flaw.
 * What the Hell Hero He knows Nigolinov is corrupt, and yet he lets him stay in the council. Why?
 * Then again, when Nigolinov gets his comeuppance, he doesn't shed a tear for him, so he might have been just waiting for the guy to supply the rope to hang himself with.
 * You All Look Familiar Aside from the colors of his outfit being the fanciest and his skin being slightly paler than the rest, all of the cardinals look exactly the same as him.

Cardinal Canossa
One of the Council of Cardinals of the Church of Holy Rood sent to evaluate Lute and especially Shamsiel's qualifications to ruling as queen.


 * Ass in Ambassador He's supposed to be a representative of the Church of Holy Rood, yet right out of the gate he starts hurling insults toward Lute, Emeralia, and especially Shamsiel. Cardinal Fango thought he was going a bit overboard.
 * Ass in a Lion Skin He's a Cardinal of the Church of Holy Rood, but he's also a colossal Jerk Ass.
 * As a matter of fact, he and Lute have a slight argument about this topic: . This immediately shuts Canossa up. Cardinal Fango agrees with Lute's words and says he speaks the truth.
 * Asshole Victim For all the crap he does and says, for nearly wrecking Shamsiel's life, finding out that is kind of disappointing, but then Lute.
 * Berserk Button He's not fond of having his insults thrown right back in his face. He can dish it, but he can't take it.
 * Blasphemous Boast See Ass in a Lion Skin above.
 * Blatant Lies When he first actually meets Shamsiel, Lute, and Emeralia, he says some rather rude comments about them, and when Shamsiel gets angered by it, he pretends like he had thought/meant to only say those things so that ONLY he could hear them. Sure....
 * Brutal Honesty Don't misunderstand it. He IS a lying, scheming, prick, but at the same time, he's also very blunt about it. The very first time he meets Shamsiel face to face, the first words out of his mouth are "Dear Lord am I dreaming? I see the devil's spawn." He then immediately starts taking shots at Emeralia for her past betrayal. Not even subtle when he's insulting people of status, huh?
 * Corrupt Church . Eventually . He complies.
 * Dirty Old Man/Dirty Old Monk He's a cardinal of the Church of Holy Rood, and claims to be a representative of God's will, and yet... When Shamsiel puts on her "queen dress", Lute notices that even Canossa is awestruck by her and is staring at her boobs.
 * Hilarious in Hindsight At one point, Canossa's string of insults toward Lute and Shamsiel almost gets his ass kicked when the soldiers in Vunderbalt get angered by his comments. Lute tells everyone to relax and be nice to the . Cut to a day or so later:.
 * Hypocrite: To such an extreme that Lute easily calls him on his shit several times.
 * For instance: He was sent to evaluate Shamsiel's worthiness of being queen, and yet from the start he was against her..
 * Kick the Dog More like "Rub the dog's nose in it". . Canossa concedes.
 * Noodle Incident That whole thing where . Apparently it would eventually be brought to light and become a historic event known as the "Humiliation of Canossa".
 * Sarcasm Mode "Oh did you hear that? I thought that I was only speaking/thinking to myself."
 * Sarcasm Failure It becomes this when Lute throws his little sarcastic comment right back at him.
 * Took a Level In Kindness It takes... ... But he comes to respect Lute eventually.
 * What an Idiot! Lute manages to outsmart him even in knowledge of scripture!
 * You All Look Familiar Aside from the colors of his outfit being shades of black, all of the cardinals look exactly the same as him.

Cardinal Fango
One of the Council of Cardinals of the Church of Holy Rood sent to evaluate Lute and Shamsiel's qualifications as queen. He's actually FOR Shamsiel and Lute's marriage.


 * Actually Pretty Funny Some of the jokes Lute and the others make even get him to snicker once or twice.
 * Big Good He's actually a fair man and supports Lute and Shamsiel's marriage from the start.
 * When Lute outplays Canossa by quoting scripture and pointing out Canossa's hypocrisy, Fango is quite impressed with him, and even takes his side in the argument.
 * Cool Old Guy He is one of the cardinals who from the start had no problem with Shamsiel, a succubus, marrying Lute.
 * Dirty Old Man In a sense. When Shamsiel puts on her queenly white dress, Lute noticed that both Cardinals were enchanted by her elegance and beauty.
 * Jerkass Has a Point When Canossa and Lute clash a few times, Lute is able to prove his point of view even quoting scripture. It gets to where even Fango says Lute (whom Canossa thought was being a disrespectful jerkass) had a point.
 * Reasonable Authority Figure He was sent with Canossa to evaluate Shamsiel, because he is this.
 * Saintly Church He seems closer to this than Canossa or Nigolinov ever will be.
 * You All Look Familiar Aside from the colors of his outfit being mainly green, all of the cardinals look exactly the same as him.

Cardinal Nigolinov
A member of the Council of Cardinals of the Church of Holy Rood. He was formerly a bishop in Fronce and a friend of Marquis Cuvier.


 * Asshole Victim He is the one responsible for both times Lute opened Pandora's Box. The first time, he was the one who gave it to Canossa in the first place, and the 2nd time, he had goaded Lute into opening it in his presence... A move he would come to regret, when Saint Reaper saw right through him trying to use him to kill Lute, and instead Saint Reaper devours HIS soul instead. Even his fellow cardinals think he had it coming, especially since Saint Reaper revealed Nigolinov's motives to them all.
 * Big Bad Of the Cardinals of the Church, he's the most corrupt of the bunch. He's taking bribes/orders from.
 * Be as Unhelpful as Possible His orders from and then TO.
 * Crapsack World For being a Cardinal of the Church of Holy Rood, he has this bleak outlook on the rest of the world. Such as believing there are no saints in their world.
 * Dirty Old Monk Not in the perverted way like Canossa. He's a cardinal, but he also takes bribes and orders from Marquis Cuvier. Saint Reaper picks up on this quality and devours his soul because of it.
 * Dropped a Bridge on Him He thought he'd be able to manipulate Lute into opening Pandora's Box, which would lead to his death. Saint Reaper saw right through him, and exposed this to everyone else. Saint Reaper then devours his soul, killing him and sending him to hell.
 * Dragon with an Agenda Sure he took orders from Cuvier, but he thought he was just doing it because he wanted to restore the Church of Holy Rood to the dominant authority in the continent... Plus the bribe money was a perk for him.
 * Dragged Off to Hell When Saint Reaper deems his soul corrupt and wins a bet with Lute allowing him to take it, Saint Reaper takes Nigolinov with him into Pandora's Box and presumably to Hell as well.
 * Evil Cannot Comprehend Good He can't fathom the notion of their being actual saints or people of pure souls in their world.
 * Fantastic Racism Invoked. bribes him and gives him orders to have him send someone to evaluate Shamsiel's worthiness to be queen in Edelland, but from the beginning he was one of the ones against her.
 * Hoist by His Own Petard He wanted to have Saint Reaper devour Lute's soul, and instigated him to open Pandora's Box in front of himself and all the other Cardinals. Lute does, but Saint Reaper immediately calls Nigolinov out on his plotting and devours HIS soul instead.
 * Karma He thought he was being cute by goading someone else into opening Pandora's Box (as though it was a mere trick) in the hopes that Saint Reaper would kill ONLY the one who opens it? See Hoist By His Own Petard above.
 * Killed Off For Real See Dropped a Bridge on Him above.
 * Know When to Fold'Em He could have stopped just when Canossa failed his mission, but instead he goaded Lute to open Pandora's Box again, in front of him. Saint Reaper comes out, takes one look at Nigolinov... Bye bye Nigolinov!
 * Mood Whiplash He snidely goads Lute into opening Pandora's Box, and right up until the box opens, he's snickering to himself. The second Saint Reaper emerges, cue him and nearly everyone else crapping their pants.
 * Nice Job Fixing It, Villain Thanks to him coercing Lute to open Pandora's Box again in the presence of the entire Council of Cardinals, Nigolinov ends up getting his soul devoured by Saint Reaper, and as for Lute? He goes from being considered a saint to them, to being seen as some sort of super-saint. Cardinal Agatha, the head of the Church of Holy Rood, even gives his official blessings upon Edelland, which would be like declaring it Holy ground, so the kingdom's status basically shot through the roof! Thanks Nigolinov. Hope it was worth it for you!
 * Tempting Fate Opening Pandora's Box is this. As is being in the same room when someone opens Pandora's Box. As Nigolinov comes to find out and immediately regret.
 * What an Idiot! Nigolinov knew that Pandora's Box could only be opened by a saintly person, and he also heard that Lute had successfully opened it before and lived. Yet, for some dumbass reason, he thought if Lute were to open the box a second time it would end with Lute dead. Not only that, but he also thought he could stay in the room and watch when Lute opened the box... Surely THAT won't backfire in any way.
 * You All Look Familiar Aside from the colors of his outfit being shades of purple, all of the cardinals look exactly the same as him.

Cardinal Conservati
A member of the Council of Cardinals of the Church of Holy Rood.


 * Are We Getting This? He seems like just a yes-man of the bunch.
 * Chekov's Gun Pandora's Box. He assists Nigolinov pass it to Canossa.
 * Even Evil Has Standards Though he wasn't fond of the idea of Shamsiel being allowed to be queen, he thought Nigolinov having Canossa bring Pandora's Box along to possibly use on Lute was a bit excessive.
 * The Bus Came Back He only appears like twice in the whole story.
 * What Happened To The Mouse? He plays a very little role compared to the other Cardinals named.
 * Light Is Good Of all the Cardinals, he wears the lightest clothing, but we learn almost nothing about him, so his actual status of good or bad is hard to gauge. At the very least, we know that he is initially one of those who was critical of Shamsiel.
 * You All Look Familiar Aside from the colors of his outfit being the only one that's not a dark color, all of the cardinals look exactly the same as him.

Saint Reaper
The embodiment of death and judgement. He seemingly resides within Pandora's Box.


 * Actually Pretty Funny Lute manages to make even HIM crack a chuckle once or twice.
 * Big Good He's actually a fair man. If you open Pandora's Box, but aren't worthy, he kills you. If you open his box, but ARE worthy, he spares you. If you open the box, but someone who isn't worthy is nearby? He kills them.
 * Brutal Honesty He never lies, and you can't lie to him. He can see straight into your soul, and if you're evil/corrupt. Simply put: You're screwed.
 * Cool Old Guy He enjoys his job, and is probably thousands of years old.
 * Corrupt Church Doesn't matter who you are or how faithful you claim to be. If he looks at your soul and deems it corrupt, he WILL end you..
 * Death Glare Literally. He's basically the grim reaper of their world, and when he glares at someone, he's literally seeing straight through their very soul and determining whether they are corrupt or not.
 * Divine Assistance He doesn't obey the whims of a mortal freely..
 * Drag Me to Hell Part of what ends up happening when he devours a soul is he seemingly drags them to hell, kicking and screaming.
 * Even Bigger Bad No, not HIM.
 * Even Angels Have Scars His skull and bones are full of cracks and holes. Whether those are scars or natural decay is unknown.
 * Even a Chance Meeting He is actually glad to have met Lute, because he's the first person to have opened Pandora's Box and have.
 * Everybody Hates Hades More like, everybody is afraid of him, despite his job being a necessary one: to transport souls to the afterlife. . Saint Reaper also deals judgement on those who have corrupt souls and spares those who have saintly ones, and HE doesn't go out of his way to find trouble. People open Pandora's Box on their own, and thus THEY seek HIM out, not the other way around.
 * Face Death with Dignity One could say this might be partially why he liked Lute, was because unlike anyone else who opened the box either trying to prove something, use him for something, or were just plain afraid of him (he IS the Grim Reaper of their world), Lute has a rational and calm conversation with him. Even when Lute.
 * Fire and Brimstone Hell Implied to be where he sends evil souls.
 * Good Angel, Bad Angel He is seen as a figure of judgement and guidance simultaneously. Those who have pure souls are acknowledged by him (which could be seen as a form of blessing), and those who are impure and trying to use him are dealt punishment. Supposedly however, legends say that he got his job as either atonement or as punishment for having once killed a Saintly person in the past.
 * Grim Reaper His entire persona is this.
 * Nice Job Fixing It, Villain According to legend, Saint Reaper became a holy being to the Church of Holy Rood after being personally reproached by God himself after Saint Reaper had killed a saint, at which point he swore Undying Loyalty to the Lord as atonement. There was also a story about him sending a false saint to hell for spreading blasphemy against the early church.
 * Oh Crap Whenever he emerges from Pandora's Box, it is treated as a VERY big deal, everyone generally panics, the lights dim, the very air changes because of it, and when he finally emerges there is a mist/haze/smoke that bellows forth and orbs of light that float around the room. There's also a deep choir vocalizing in the background.
 * Sealed Badass in a Can His appearance alone is enough to make even berserk ghouls and elder cardinals crap their pants. Even Shamsiel is weary of him, and for good reason. Anyone who disturbs him or is in his presence, if he deems them corrupt or to have an impure soul will be devoured by him and sent to hell.
 * Sealed Good in a Can: He wasn't this to begin with, but he agreed to serve the cause of good in the backstory and became this ever since, as the only people or beings who now die by his hands are those who are deemed "corrupt or wicked".
 * Sealed Evil in a Can: He's not "evil" but his judgement is absolute. If you're anything less than a saint in his eyes, and you open Pandora's Box... You. are. Screwed!
 * Reasonable Authority Figure Most of his time is spent doing his job of escorting souls of the dead to their afterlife. It's only when someone disturbs him by opening Pandora's Box that he must invoke his judgement upon them by gazing into their soul and determining whether they or anyone else present are saintly (and therefore worthy of his mercy) or corrupt (and thus need to be punished by having their soul devoured). YOU are the ones who open the box. Not him.
 * Reasoning with God Once he passes judgement on one's soul, there's no going back. Either you have the pure soul of a saint (in his eyes) in which case, he'll spare your life and acknowledge you as saintly (which is a pretty big deal coming from practically the Grim Reaper of their world) or your soul is deemed corrupt, and thus he will devour your soul and send you to hell.
 * Red Eyes, Take Warning If those are his eyes, he has 7 glowing red orbs in the left side of his skull. 3 in his eye socket and 4 spread out in cracked holes in his decaying skull.
 * Roaring Rampage of Revenge His backstory is shrouded in mystery, mixing myth and legend. . Now, anyone with a corrupt soul that opens Pandora's Box, faces this from him.
 * Sex Is Evil and I Am Horny Inverted according to him, Lute has a pure soul (even when Lute admits all he thinks about is boobs) and carnal desires do not obstruct one's holiness, because he lacks rancor and enmity toward others.
 * Shout Out Western Animation "Who disturbs my slumber..." Gee, where does THAT sound familiar?
 * Too Dumb to Live If you open Pandora's Box, you definitely are this, because Saint Reaper will look into your soul and if it is impure, he will devour it.

Count Roche
The Prime Minister of Fronce. He was good friends with Gladys' father, and had known Gladys herself, since she was a child. He hopes to someday introduce the Knighted Bureaucracy system in Fronce.


 * Big Good He's actually a reasonable man. Except that his first impression of Lute leaves him quite disappointed, but eventually Lute demonstrates his true character and he sees Lute as a worthy and capable man/king.
 * Brutal Honesty Does telling a foreign monarch they should abdicate their throne to someone else... TO THEIR FACE... Qualify as this? Yes? Seems right, then.
 * Cool Old Guy He is actually quite nice toward those he respects. He is also a big supporter of the Knighted Bureaucracy system being implemented in Fronce. He also knew Gladys and her father for a long time, so when they first reunite in-story, they almost seem like family with them joking around and laughing together... At least until the subject of her beloved Lute came up.
 * Dragon with an Agenda Probably one of the few good examples of this trope, in that his "agenda" would actually be beneficial to Fronce: Implementing the Knighted Bureaucracy in Fronce.
 * Foil He and Cuvier are this to each other. Cuvier wants to expand Fronce in terms of territory through conquest. Roche wants to consolidate power in the territory they already have in order to better Fronce from within by implementing the Knighted Bureaucracy. Thus they tend to bicker in front of the Queen on such matters.
 * Horrible Judge of Character Downplayed. A recurring trope in Kyonyu Fantasy games when in regards to initial impressions of Lute, given the good Count's highhanded opinion of people he tends to lean into this category with the King of Edelland. While at the same time, though partly not his fault given the former's duplicity, was too late to realize just how baleful Duke Cuvier's true intentions were for both Fronce and Edelland. Especially considering his queen had taken such a shine to their neighboring country's king.
 * Not So Above It All Zigzagged. When he first reunites with Gladys, the two go back and forth playfully teasing and throwing insults at each other as though they were family reuniting after years. However, when it came to Lute, that led to a bit of friction for a while, but eventually he comes to understand Lute's true grandness and then it goes right back to this with both Gladys, him, AND Lute.
 * Poor Communication Kills His first impression of Lute is a negative one. It leads to him actually telling Lute to his face that he should abdicate the throne to Gladys instead of continuing to rule, which even SHE gets upset about in addition to how poorly he judged Lute. He eventually comes around though after Lute finally demonstrates his true abilities in kingship.
 * Reasonable Authority Figure Despite his initial dislike for Lute, he DOES see the potential for the Knighted Bureaucracy and works hard to see it implemented in Fronce..
 * Sinister Minister He's the Prime Minister of Fronce, although he isn't evil like Bernstein, he's quite critical of Lute for most of the story. Perhaps "Cynical Minister" is more fitting.
 * What the Hell Hero When he greets Lute and Gladys in Fronce, he tells Lute to his face, that he should abdicate his throne to Gladys. She has this reaction and gets pissed that he would be so rude to her man!

Aristera
One of Motaire's former groupies. After they left him, they went back to Fronce, and even became personal maids to Queen Aphrodia.


 * Actually Pretty Funny
 * Ambiguous Allegiance In the first game, they were pretty adamant about trying to hook up with men of high status or wealth in Edelland. In this one? Seems they once more ditched Motaire, went back to Fronce, and became personal maids to Queen Aphrodia. When they see or discuss those from Edelland? They get a serious case of Blue Blood.
 * Ambiguously Bi At one point, she and Droit and a few other maids are attending to Queen Aphrodia amidst her formal reception of the visitors from Edelland. Lute requests that all other men apart from himself leave the room, because he wished to show the Queen some specially made bras he had had made for her, and Shamsiel was going to model them for her. When the presentation is over, all other women in the room besides Shamsiel and Gladys are blushing and flustered.
 * Brutal Honesty She and Droit are still pretty direct, even when serving the Queen herself. Such as telling her that . There's also the way they directly address King Lute as "Your Lewdness" when they see him face to face for the first time in this game.
 * Foreign Correspondent She and Droit were born in Fronce, but lived in Edelland for a while. Eventually they came back to Fronce, and Queen Aphrodia decided to make them her personal maids. Why? They thought it was just because they were worthy of it. In reality, it was because Queen Aphrodia knew they had information on Edelland that could have proven useful.
 * Gold Digger She and Droit may have dumped Motaire and moved to Fronce, but they're still a couple of these. They now serve the Queen as her personal maids, which is seemingly a step up for them.
 * Informed Ability She and Droit had told Queen Aphrodia that Lute was good in bed and with handling breasts.

Droit

Sir Vital
Marquis Cuvier's top lackey.


 * Animal Motifs Do you think it was intentional that he kind of resembles a chicken?
 * My Country, Right or Wrong He follows Cuvier's schemes, because he feels that they are what's best for Fronce.
 * The Dragon He's this to Cuvier.
 * Undying Loyalty Cuvier probably couldn't ask for a more loyal lackey.
 * Well Intentioned Extremist He follows Cuvier loyally and believes that Cuvier's actions ARE what's best for Fronce.
 * What Happened to the Mouse? . What becomes of this guy is anybody's guess.

Duke Marquis Cuvier
The Archduke and Grand Chamberlain of the kingdom of Fronce.


 * Animal Motifs Think Pepe Le Pew aka a skunk.
 * Asshole Victim For all of the crap that his actions influenced, which is pretty much everything bad that happens in this game, he gets no sympathy from anybody when.
 * Batman Gambit He likes to use these a lot..
 * Big Bad He's to this game what Prime Minister Bernstein was to the first one.
 * Bigger Bad Pretty much all villains of this game can have their actions traced back to his influence over them.
 * Corrupt Bureaucrat He's the grand chamberlain and archduke of Fronce, and he is connected to pretty much every single bad thing that happens in this game, except he covers his tracks so well that no one can actually prove it.
 * Dangerously Genre Savvy He's arguably more of a threat than Bernstein ever was, because he recognizes Lute as an opponent NOT to be underestimated from the start. He's also a master manipulator, and EVEN IF everyone knows he's up to something evil, he covers his tracks so well that they can never prove nor directly link him to any of it.
 * Expy: He's basically Bernstein from the first game, just somewhat less overtly evil and far more cunning.
 * He's also a fictional parallel to Cardinal Richeliu, albeit somewhat more self-serving.
 * Even Evil Has Standards He is all for getting rid of Lute and anyone else that would get in the way of restoring Fronce to its former glory. However, he never does anything to go after or against his fellow Froncemen or women. Which is to say, he actually DOES worry about Queen Aphrodia's safety, and although they clash, he never makes any moves directly aimed at Aphrodia or Count Roche (apart from trying to block the knighted bureaucracy from being established in Fronce).
 * Evil Cannot Comprehend Good He knows that Lute is more dangerous than most would suspect at a glance, but doesn't fully know why.
 * Go-Karting with Bowser When Lute and company travel to Fronce, they meet Cuvier and it goes kind of like this, because they know he's plotting against them, he knows that they know, but neither is willing/able to fully act toward the other due to lack of evidence.
 * This gets a bit more applicable after the negotiations are completed. Lute and co are invited to participate in a boar hunt with Queen Aphrodia, Count Roche, and yes Marquis Cuvier. It goes as you'd expect:.
 * Know When to Fold'Em: In a few of the early endings, he realizes any move on his part will do more harm than good and elects to do this.
 * Such as when.
 * Magnificent Bastard He sees Lute as a very dangerous obstacle, so he doesn't underestimate him. Even when they first meet, he reacts to Lute as though he's thinking "This guy knows how to play the game."
 * My Country, Right or Wrong He rationalizes and justifies all of his actions as acts for the betterment of Fronce.
 * Nice Job Fixing It, Villain Thanks to his schemes and actions, by the end of the story... . Great job Cuvier.
 * Playing Both Sides He's far better at it than Bernstein ever was. When ALL of this fails or backfires, . This backfires SPECTACULARLY, so he's forced to do one more big scheme for all the cards:.
 * Undying Loyalty On the one hand, all that he does, as far as he is concerned, he is doing for the benefit of Fronce, so that it will return to the glorious status of being THE major power of the continent. Problem is, he goes to many extremes and does many evil deeds to further this tunnel-view goal of his.
 * Ungrateful Bastard When Lute stops the Cyclops, he saves the lives of everyone there. Including Cuvier AND Queen Aphrodia (who even Cuvier was worried about losing since she's a worthy queen of Fronce). How does he express his gratitude? . Thankfully, he gets his comeuppance this time.
 * Well Intentioned Extremist: While Bernstein thought he was this but was obviously a power hungry prick concerning Edelland, Cuvier genuinely DOES give a damn about Fronce as a whole, not just his own standing, it's just his tunnel vision and ambition to secure this goal makes him little better.
 * Zero Effort Boss His ultimate defeat:.

Assassin ABCDE
A group of assassins that will take pretty much any job for a little cash.


 * Actually Pretty Funny They suck at their job so much that even Lute whom they try multiple times to kill, just starts laughing at them.
 * Butt Monkey These guys went from being somewhat of a threat in the first story. To being as much of a threat as a plastic bag in this one. You'd have to be REALLY stupid to manage to die by their hands.
 * Calling Your Attacks They call out a move that is literally called "Secret Art: Super Jet Attack!" Too bad it makes them too fast and dizzy to actually do anything with it.
 * Even Evil Has Standards Inverted. The reason why they're hired so much is because they're the only assassins dumb enough to take on practically any job for a little money including attempting to kill a foreign king, even with Gladys and a succubus around him, so basically as far as assassins go, you get what you pay for with them. Pay cheap? Get cheap.
 * Expy: Their appearance makes them look like humanoid Doms.
 * Glowing Eyes of Doom If the glowing orb in the center of their helmets IS their eye that is.
 * Killed Off for Real Supposedly a few of them die during the story, and yet they show up again later, so whether that was someone new taking on the mantle of those that died or if it really WAS the same original ones is unclear.
 * Leaning on the Fourth Wall When all 5 of them appear together, they brag that the previous installment had a 4:3 aspect ratio, but this time it's in widescreen and thus has enough room for all of them to be there at once.
 * Nicknaming the Enemy How they got the information is unclear, but somehow they found out that . She of course, gets upset by this and proceeds to kick their asses.
 * Red Shirt Army There's a lot of them it seems, and considering we never see their faces, there's no way to tell if when one of them supposedly dies, if it's a new one taking their place or the old one actually survived after all.
 * They even break the 4th wall by claiming that they are NOT red shirts.
 * Unfortunate Names At one point, they attempt to kill Lute by pretending to be foreign envoys. Their disguise names? Stoopidskiy, Dimwitov, and Sleepshodov. How does Lute expose them?.
 * What an Idiot! Their attempts to assassinate get sillier and more funny with each attempt:
 * For starters, their first attempt was to try and give Lute poisoned beer in Boan. Lute recognizes them by their attire, calls them out on it, Shamsiel shows up, and they're forced to turn tail and run.
 * Later on, they pose as foreign diplomats (while wearing the same outfits as always), and actually try to get Lute to "come closer and look at something". See Unfortunate Names for more details on this failure.
 * At one point they gather 5 of them and attempt to use their "ultimate move" on Lute outside of Boan, but the move winds up making them dizzy and Gladys beats them in a single blow.
 * You All Look Familiar Lute recognizes them as assassins from the first game. Even saying this trope when he encounters them, and it helps him easily know they're assassins who are trying to kill him.
 * You Again He encounters them a number of times in the game, and it's always the same funny results with them failing to kill him or anyone.
 * Zero Effort Boss In this story, defeating them takes almost no effort at all.

Golem
A type of magic entity that is created from magic sand. It can only be destroyed using the secret phrase.


 * Actually Pretty Funny How it's destroyed.
 * Gentle Giant They normally function as guardians, unless commanded to attack.
 * Nigh Invulnerability They can regenerate seemingly infinitely unless a secret phrase is spoken which causes them to disperse.
 * Oh Crap The guards that are present when it first appears in the capital scream and run off to sound the alarm when they see it. Later in.
 * Sealed Evil in a Can Golems are summoned via magic-infused sand, which had been kept in a jar.
 * Sealed Army in a Can With enough sand, one can summon more than one Golem at a time.
 * Roaring Rampage of Rescue
 * Zero Effort Boss Motaire, Gladys, Shamsiel, and all the soldiers sent to stop it are unable to put it down for good. Lute by chance says what happens to be the secret phrase that causes the spell to be undone and it dies for good. What did Lute actually do?.

Wraith
An evil spiritual entity that causes people to go into depression and commit suicide if they make eye contact with it.


 * Actually Pretty Funny How it's defeated is somewhat played for laughs.
 * Asshole Victim Partially. The whole reason why it drives people to suicide is because unless it does it HAS to kill itself.
 * Defeat by Modesty The Wraith attacks a person's pride and other reasons for living. Lute on the other hand is very modest and humble, and is fully aware that much of his achievements really were dumb luck or thanks to the friends he has surrounding him. This is partially how he is able to overcome the Wraith's magic.
 * Despair Event Horizon It invokes this on several people in Boan to cause them to kill themselves.
 * Despair Speech When it attacks a victim, it uses a combination of magic/curse and this to break the victim's will and drive them to suicide..
 * Despair Spot The whole incident is the start of quite a dark spot in the story, but thankfully it is defeated by positivity, which means its defeat is played for laughs.
 * Driven to Suicide When you look it in the eyes, it does this to you. If it fails? It kills itself.
 * Disney Acid Sequence When Lute meets it, the whole screen starts wiggling and waving from time to time as glowing orbs drift around. The Wraith itself has a seemingly shapeless and ever-shifting appearance as well.
 * Eldritch Abomination What the hell even IS this thing? It's like a living puff of evil smoke.
 * Nice Job Fixing It, Villain Thanks to its defeat, Lute, Shamsiel, and Emeralia are seen as even more heroic and worthy of respect to the people of Boan than they already were. In essence, this could be seen as when the people of Boan finally forgive Shamsiel for what she had done a few years ago to some of the civilians.
 * When you think about it, . It almost happens EXACTLY like that, except Lute spoke to it.

SPOILER CHARACTER 1
Spoilered= Spoiler= Fake Succubus

A familiar summoned to impersonate Shamsiel and ruin her reputation.


 * A-Cup Angst Big time. When she tries to attack the soldiers at Vunderbalt, they immediately know she's fake just by the fact that her boobs are tiny. The real Shamsiel meets her and points this out to her, which she (the Fake Succubus) thought was a low blow.
 * Actually Pretty Funny She attempts to kill Lute in his sleep, but is thwarted when Lute reflexively kicks and hits her while still asleep. He even gets her hard in the nose, which causes her to cry. Meanwhile, the real Shamsiel was watching from the shadows and cracking up the entire time.
 * Ax Crazy She lives to kill. That's all she does. Even when she goes berserk, her only thought is to kill Lute.
 * Berserk Button She doesn't like it when people gang up on her, nor does she like it when they mock and call her names or point out that she has small titties. She also isn't fond of being hit in the face by someone she's trying to kill in their sleep.
 * Blatant Lies Her entire mission is to impersonate Shamsiel, refers to herself as Shamsiel, claims herself to be descendant of Succubi (which is actually kind of wrong also in the sense that the real Shamsiel IS a succubus not just a descendant of them), and tries to mimic how Shamsiel speaks and acts. Anyone who is actually familiar with the real Shamsiel can easily tell the differences (Lute, the real Shamsiel, the others in the harem, the citizens of Boan, and the ex-rebels in Vunderbalt could tell immediately she was an impostor).
 * Bully Hunter In the sense that, when she fails to scare the soldiers in Vunderbalt, they start to berate her for trying to pretend to be the real Shamsiel: saying she was less pretty, that her boobs were tiny, that her legs weren't as good as the real Shamsiel. She then threatens even further to kill them, but they start to attack and proceed to drive her off.
 * Butt Monkey Poor thing. She goes through quite a bit of trouble only to fail her missions. She tried to kill Lute in his sleep, and he sleep-hits her, including a particularly hard punch in the nose that made her cry.
 * Cursed with Awesome She can't be captured by conventional means, but in the event she IS captured, she turns to dust. We never see her again after that...
 * Cute Little Fangs One of the few things she and the real Shamsiel have in common.
 * Cute and Psycho She's supposed to be mimicking Shamsiel after all, so this comes naturally.
 * Did You Just Flip Off Cthulhu? The soldiers in Vunderbalt and Shamsiel each have times when they encounter her, insult her, and drive her off, which they later tell Lute about.
 * Disney Death See Killed Off for Real and What Happened to the Mouse? below.
 * Erotic Eating In the dark sense. She primarily kills people in the same way as Shamsiel.
 * Family-Unfriendly Death Although the visual novel isn't as elaborate as a straight-up anime, the screen flashes red and blood-curdling sounds are heard whenever she kills someone, to the point you'd think she was ripping them apart. In reality, she's eating them, and when she is done, all that's left is a shriveled up pile of skin and bones. Yeesh!
 * Killed Off for Real Possibly. Her final fate is left ambiguous and unclear, unlike.
 * Nothing but Skin and Bones This is what's left of her victims after she "eats" them.
 * Oh Crap Her first appearance invoked this in some fans.
 * Roaring Rampage of Revenge Her whole mission is to kill Lute, initially it was on behalf of Argent, but after the first few failures, it becomes personal for her to want to kill Lute herself. So much so that she breaks out from her summoning jar and went on this to try and kill Lute... Unfortunately, she fails once again.
 * Spanner in the Works It is unclear if her disappearance the last time we see her really means that she's gone for good.
 * Undying Loyalty Say what you will about her, but one thing she DID have was loyalty to her mission. She made numerous attempts, despite setbacks and confrontations. Even when she escapes her jar on her own and goes on a berserk rampage, she heads straight after Lute. Then, when Shamsiel and the soldiers of Vunderbalt capture her, she reveals that if a familiar is captured, they turn to dust, which she does, and when Shamsiel tries to have her reveal who her master was, she keeps silent and fades away.
 * What Happened to the Mouse? When she, we never see her again after that, and we never know if this means she is gone for good or not.
 * Walking Spoiler Though you've probably figured that out by now.

SPOILER CHARACTER 2
Spoilered= Spoiler= Fake Shamsiel

Another familiar summoned to cause trouble and ruin Shamsiel's reputation. She originally looked like the other fake succubus and had been summoned by with her mission being.


 * A-Cup Angst Even moreso than the other Fake Succubus, which she originally looked identical to. She got so angry and fed up with her failures that she altered her appearance to look EXACTLY like the real Shamsiel, except for having Red Eyes, Take Warning.
 * Always a Bigger Fish She's pretty scary huh? She kills people the same way as Shamsiel, she takes on her appearance to frame her, sounds almost exactly like her (except even more bloodthirsty), and when she goes berserk, she is implied to be Nigh Invincible. Then Saint Reaper appears and even SHE is terrified of him..
 * Asshole Victim She's partially responsible for Shamsiel's reputation and life being almost ruined, AND she also killed at least 10 men in Vunderbalt. Her fate? Reaper devours her and the ghouls. She dies the same way as her victims... Screaming.
 * Ax Crazy She enjoys killing people far more than the other fake succubus did.
 * Big Eater Of the grim sort. She kills victims just like the real Shamsiel, but when she goes on a rampage in Bustenhalter, she kills 10 men in a single night.
 * Bitch in Sheep's Clothing Invoked deliberately. She takes on the appearance of Shamsiel and kills many men to ruin the real Shamsiel's reputation. Only her eyes are what makes them distinguishable.
 * Cute and Psycho She looks EXACTLY like Shamsiel, except for her eyes, and the fact that she's far more bloodthirsty than the real Shamsiel.
 * Cute Little Fangs What part of Shamsiel lookalike...?
 * Erotic Eating In the dark sense. She kills people in the same way as Shamsiel, and in one night is known to have killed 10 men this way.
 * Glowing Eyes of Doom They're red too. You better start running.
 * Nothing but Skin and Bones All that remains of her victims after she attacks them.
 * Red Eyes, Take Warning It's pretty much the only genuine difference between her and the real Shamsiel.
 * Roaring Rampage of Revenge When she and the other fake Succubus go berserk, she takes on the form to look exactly like the real Shamsiel to get revenge on her and the humans for thwarting her prior attempts.
 * Villainous Glutton She enjoys "eating" her victims quite a bit. She even kills 10 soldiers in a single night on a murderous rampage in Bustenhalter.
 * Walking Spoiler Pretty obvious by now.

Ghouls
A type of familiar the was set loose to kill Lute.


 * Asshole Victim They are only created to kill, and their primary target is Lute, his friends, and his subjects, so when Saint Reaper devours their souls and sends them to hell. It's kind of hard to feel sorry for them.
 * Ax Crazy They use their claws and fangs to attack victims, and clearly enjoy it. Given that they're supposedly berserk when we first see them, it makes sense.
 * Butt Monkey These guys went from being a major threat in the beginning. To being killed in one shot by Shamsiel and Gladys toward the end of the story.
 * Dropped a Bridge on Him The ones that . Meanwhile,.
 * Glowing Eyes of Doom Regardless of color, ALL of their eyes glow brightly.
 * Horny Devils Even their tongues look like devil tails.
 * Hilarious in Hindsight Truth be told, "ghouls" are actually a type of female ghost/spirit. So their appearance in this game is quite different from what you would expect. Unless...
 * Overly Long Tongue They basically have a devil tail coming out of their mouth.
 * Sealed Army in a Can They were originally meant to be summoned from a jar to do the bidding of whoever opened it, but they went berserk and broke out on their own. How many of them there actually were in the jar is unknown, but there were lots of them, and with the jar destroyed, they could have respawned practically infinitely, supposedly.
 * Sealed Evil in a Can They were originally contained within a special jar in spirit form, but they escaped on their own and tried to go on a killing spree.

Cyclops
A demonic creature living in a forest in Fronce.


 * Actually Pretty Funny He and Lute play Rock-Paper-Scissors and then Tic Tac Toe. It's EVERY bit as funny as it sounds for a creature that looks like him.
 * Badass Adorable Lute says and treats him like he's this.
 * Because You Were Nice to Me He tells Lute where the boars were hiding, because Lute was friendly toward him. The same could also apply to the fact that he didn't kill Lute or anyone else present, because Lute was playing with him.
 * Berserk Button It is attracted to fear, but it doesn't like when people disturb it and try to enter its territory. It also isn't fond of people trying to shoot it. Go figure!
 * Cowardly Lion He's supposedly just as scared of humans as they are of him. Hence he puts on a monster act to drive them off, but that's not to say that he isn't tough enough to crush enemies with a swing of his fists if needed.
 * Dark Is Not Evil He's huge, he has a big glowing red eye, razor claws, horns, black fur (like a bear), can rip trees out of the ground and throw them like a football, and can only speak in loud groaning roars, but he isn't actually evil. He just wants to keep humans out of his territory in the forest and away from him.
 * Exactly What It Says on the Tin It has no name. People refer to it as what it is. IT even tells Lute that it doesn't have a name.
 * Fluffy the Terrible Lute remarks on how bushy and warm his fur actually is... Moments after he was roaring, tossing trees around, and had killed a few soldiers (although to be fair he WAS trying to scare the humans away from him and his territory, but when someone starts shooting...)
 * Gentle Giant Despite how he looks, he's actually as afraid of others as they are of him, so he puts on a big act to try to scare or drive people off. Lute however sees through this, and exposes this side of him, and the 2 become unlikely friends even going as far as playing games together for several hours.
 * Glowing Eyes of Doom "Eye".
 * Good All Along It's kind of a matter of perspective. Lute was able to tell that he was putting up a tough front, because he was just as scared of humans coming into his territory. Lute manages to get through to him and communicate (to an extent) with him, and they even play games together for a few hours. However, it's not entirely clear what it was that made him trust Lute. . Or perhaps that Lute was calm and actually polite toward him, rather than terrified and hostile like the rest.
 * Hilarious in Hindsight Several times are there instances that foreshadow Lute encountering the Cyclops, we see it kill 2 Fronce soldiers who were scouting the forest, we hear Cuvier trying to arrange a hunt KNOWING the Cyclops was there, Nellis uses tarot cards to glimpse the future and sees something bad happening, and then Count Roche himself has a nightmare the night before the hunt that foreshadows something bad. The funny thing? Nothing happens. Lute has no problems dealing with the Cyclops, in fact, he and the Cyclops seemingly become friends by the time they part ways.
 * Horny Devil See those HUGE horns sticking out of his shoulders?
 * Jerk with a Heart of Gold Well... He IS known to have killed a number of soldiers, but he was actually just trying to keep humans away from him or his turf. When he meets Lute, the two play games together and he even helps show the humans where the boars had gone.
 * Not So Harmless He acts the way he does to try and keep people away from him and where he lives, but make no mistake to think you can actually take him on. Even Gladys (said to be the best knight in their world) was unable to get so much as close enough to strike him. She was too busy dodging full-grown trees he had ripped straight from the ground (roots and all) and tossing them at her and the soldiers.
 * Lovable Coward As it turns out, he's actually a nice creature. He just gets so spooked by intruders in his territory that he puts on a big act and uses his brute strength to scare people away. If they aren't smart enough to run? He can throw full-sized trees at them.
 * Red Eye, Take Warning He has one BIG RED EYE, and it glows too.
 * Unfortunate Name It tells Lute that it apparently doesn't have a name.
 * Villain by Default Everyone assumes this based solely by its giant demonic appearance, but he's actually just trying to keep to himself.
