Kyonyuu Fantasy/Characters

Lute Hende
The primary protagonist of the story. Graduated dead last from the Knight Academy.


 * Accidental Pornomancer:
 * Achievements in Ignorance: Much of the things he accomplishes are thanks to the help of others or things even he is not aware of. And sometimes such factors help him without his knowledge, such as Shamsiel secretly spying on Lute's enemies and protecting him when necessary such as in Boan or Vunderbalt. But then, there's one case where he pulls off a task that is nothing short of a miracle:
 * Almighty Janitor: He graduated at the lowest rank in his class at the Royal Knight's Academy. (His scores were supposedly so low they set records.) However,.
 * Because You Were Nice to Me: Almost all the girls he loves, love him back for reasons relating to this:
 * Shamsiel was the first person to actually show him any kindness in the whole story. He never forgets this regardless of the route.
 * |Isis falls in love with him in her route because of how well he treats her compared to Motaire and how he saves her life many times, even bringing her out of her Despair Event Horizon. She also falls in love with him in the Harem route, because not only was he performing things even Motaire wouldn't have been able to do, he remained modest and is still nicer to her than any other before.
 * Roxanne falls for him because he actually shows her love and affection that her previous husband (the Prefect of Boan), had long denied her.
 * Gladys was a bit skeptical at first, but he was very honest and open toward her, even when they were on opposing sides.
 * Luceria had had few friends, but she came to love Lute, because of how kindly he treated others including Gladys (whom she saw as a surrogate elder sister) and herself.
 * Emeralia falls for Lute technically after her first time with him..
 * Be Yourself: He invokes this with just about everyone he meets, especially with women.
 * Berserk Button: Shockingly, he has one! Most of the time, he's a kind-hearted, patient, and tolerant man, but...Never... Ever... Ever... Ever... Ever... Ever... EVER!!! Insult, take for granted, or (especially) harm a woman, ESPECIALLY if he has feelings for said woman.
 * Beware the Nice Ones: Lute is usually a very calm and laid-back individual. However, even his patience has limits, such as one morning where Motaire barged into his room to try and start crap with him, and Isis began arguing loudly with him. Lute warned them both to calm down, lest he get angry at them both, because he had just barely woken up and was supposedly needing to get ready to go speak with the King. Both Isis and Motaire were surprised by this, and actually heed his warning. Isis even later admits being impressed by his maturity in said situation. Another time, was during.
 * Blinding Bangs: His red hair is always covering his eyes.
 * Born Lucky: It's assumed in-universe this was why Lute manages to be so successful yet otherwise seem so unimpressive to most characters. In truth he is to a degree, but it is more of him being in the right place at the right time rather than good things just happening to him by chance. He does get external, secret help from Shamsiel. Admittedly, one of his biggest accomplishments: . Was pretty much pure luck, which even he admits and tried to convince everyone of, because.
 * Cameo Prop: He and several of the other characters appear on posters and merchandise in the anime adaptation of "Mankitsu Happening". Especially notable are a few posters of the scene from the KF anime when Lute first grabs onto Shamsiel's breast for the very first time.
 * Camp Cook: During he and Isis' forest expedition, the rest of their troops abandon them and take most of their supplies and equipment. However, despite scoring dead last in all classes at the Knight's Academy, he actually DID do well in field survival and cooking, so he takes on this role for them. In fact, later in the expedition, Isis even admits that Prince Bobon, Motaire, and even she supposedly did worse in these areas than Lute. This leads her to believe that the someone may have deliberately changed his or their scores, whether out of spite against him or because political reason. Either way, Lute's skills in this help start to demonstrate that maybe he isn't as useless as she first assumed.
 * Chivalrous Pervert: 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.
 * Conveniently an Orphan: Averted. Both of his parents are dead, but he is an adult by the time the story begins.
 * Covert Pervert: Inverted. He's pretty honest about everything. However, he at least has SOME tact about it.
 * Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: Lute has more going for him than meets the eye, being very witty and sharp-minded. Easily able to see and understand meanings where most other people who waste their time turning their noses up: at whatever displeases to them fail to see.
 * Dark and Troubled Past:
 * Disappeared Dad: It's stated his father had died when he was very young.
 * Dude, Where's My Reward?: When the Prefect of Boan and Madoise order him to exorcise the succubus that had been terrorizing the region, he asks them for a reward since they wouldn't give an order if there was no chance of success. They say they'll talk about it after (they expected him to die, so they promised him anything). He befriends Shamsiel and goes to collect his "reward". (He wanted a castle and to be able to eat white bread every day.) They deny him of both, saying he didn't actually "exorcise" the demon AND that a verbal contract means nothing. But, rather than give him nothing, they DO decide to reward him by having him act as Roxanne's bodyguard. It was a trap, but Lute accepts and it works out for him anyway!
 * Eating the Eye Candy: He does it with pretty much every female character he meets at least once.
 * Fearless Fool: Lute is sometimes called this by those he meets. For his part, he DOES experience fear, but there are situations when others seem to think someone like him should be afraid, but he doesn't. He equates this more to him not fully realizing the severity of such situations given his laid-back nature rather than him being brave or actually fearless.
 * Fiery Redhead: He's a mostly laid-back individual, and he doesn't have much of a temper. However, when it comes to something he's actually passionate about such as boobs, he's second to none.
 * Forgotten First Meeting: It's implied that Shamsiel has known Lute and his family since before he was born, but was never formally introduced until years later during their first night in Boan together... When she takes his virginity. Later on in her route, Lute remembered meeting her back when he was only 2 or 3, and in said memory it confirms she met him when he was even smaller. Seen here.
 * Genius Ditz: Lute Hende both figuratively and sometimes literally trails into genius territories only to fall back into stupidity. More often then not he's usually pretty quick to piece together patterns and evidence of individual persona. Be it ascertaining of personal involvement in something obvious, secretive and/or larcenous only to second guess himself later and put it out of his mind.
 * Graceful Loser: They call him a loser, and such, but he never really gives a crap about it, and generally makes the most of things.
 * : It is revealed that he is.
 * H-Game POV Character: Lute is an extremely idealistic example of a Type III A. His endings tend to end with him in Type I territory, though a few have shades of Type II A.
 * Handsome Lech: He comes off as one in the anime adaptation due to most of his backstory and characterization not making it in.
 * Heroic RROD: Almost fatally, happens 3 times to Lute in the entire story. First was during his first time with Shamsiel, which was also his first time ever with a woman, so given his inexperience she almost killed him. The second time was when Lute was with . Lastly,.
 * Heroic BSOD: The closest times he gets to this are: In Isis' route, . In Luceria and the Harem route, there are a few moments..
 * Hidden Depths: What so many people fail to realize (himself included half the time) is that there are so many good qualities to Lute that next to no one really ever notices. His calm, cool and collected demeanor enables for better rational though than those of narrow mindedness born of their own station in life. Being open, honest and of a pure mindset, he has no ego to exploit and while also being a bit of a sexual deviant. He's not the type to be bribed or bullied into corruption or selfish action like so many others around him. Lute is also astonishingly perceptive of his surroundings, almost easily able to read people like an open book from simple exchanges of words or observation of actions.
 * Humble Hero: Through his entire story regardless of the route, he remains completely humble the entire time. Never once does he flaunt his rank or accomplishments in the faces of others unless you count him doing it jokingly. He even discusses this at times with others, especially with Shamsiel, and is always pointing out that it is mostly thanks to her actions that he was able to get to where he is. She believes he is a big deal, but admits that his modesty is one of reasons she loves him so much.
 * : In both the anime and visual novel,.
 * Incorruptible Pure Pureness: Like you wouldn't believe, even Isis comments that Lute's kindness and compassion for others is the only inhuman thing about him. See Hidden Depths above for greater details.
 * : In Shamsiel's route, he.
 * : Even he didn't know... . In the anime version,.
 * Leaning on the Fourth Wall: Seeing as most of the story is told from Lute's perspective or with him narrating, it comes with the territory. One of the better moments of this is during the epilogue of ."
 * Lover Tug of War: . Throughout all this, it never fully stops them from being jealous of the others and possessive of Lute.
 * Living Aphrodisiac: His status grants him magical hands,.
 * Magnetic Hero: While initially seen as the lowest form of gutter trash in the kingdom even by others who aren't much better off. As the story goes on and people get to know him better he really shows why he's the hero of the story. Shamsiel's becoming a loyal acolyte, Roxanne's giving him her undying love, the guardsmen of Boan revering him like a warrior saint, the normally bitchy Isis mellowing out after an assignment or two with him. Again when and after he'd bested the unbeatable Gladys in chess of all things, bonus points for making her fall for him afterwards. Having the three old bastards who hassled him earlier for being the lowest rank graduate acknowledge him as and after doing what they could not. Even the King himself took a shine to Lute upon their first meeting. Lute might not think of himself highly but the steady fanbase he's garnered for himself speaks otherwise.
 * Making Love in All the Wrong Places:.
 * On Lute's hands,.
 * Me's a Crowd: Compliments of Split Seeds he receives from Shamsiel. They can only be used during sexual intercourse, and are dangerous for normal humans to use.
 * Missing Mom: His mother is deceased and only make an voice-only appearance in-game.
 * Mr. Exposition: Considering the Visual Novel is told from Lute's POV, this comes naturally. Interestingly, it helps show just how much more Lute actually knows about the world and things around him than most other characters initially think.
 * Nice Guy: He's a calm and laid-back person, he doesn't see the point in getting mad or upset about small stuff so he's generally very nice to everyone. Some even comment it seeming "inhuman" with how "humane" he treats others.
 * Oblivious to Love: Despite being a pretty good judge of character otherwise,.
 * Potty Emergency: Compliments of Wam Crayon secretly having the Chef make him a pie laced with laxatives which he served on the morning of Lute's chess duel with Gladys.
 * The Pornomancer: Him being the protagonist of a visual novel known as "Funbag Fantasy", it should be no surprise. Except that
 * Too Good for This Sinful Earth: Dangerously near played straight, Lute is hands down one of the only few good, honest and chivalrous individuals not bogged down by their own personal baggage and/or boisterously rotten personalities in the universe.
 * Rags to Royalty: His story is sort of this, but at the same time isn't. Hear me out....
 * Reassigned to Antarctica: How everybody treats him being assigned to Boan, which has a fame of being an horrible place.
 * Reassignment Backfire: What actually happens when he is resignated to the boonies, his subordinating a succubus and exposing a major conspiracy between Prince Bobon and The Prefect of Boan got him a Rank Up by the good king Lord Hagel I. Much to the dismay of Rubin von Bernstein.
 * Real Men Cook: Of all the courses he took at the knight's academy: cooking, field survival, and camping were the only things he was actually good at. In fact, he was even better than Bobon, Motaire, and Isis at them, but the faculty still gave him the worst marks... Deliberately.
 * Roaring Rampage of Rescue: Hilariously done in Isis' route by Lute,.
 * Royals Who Actually Do Something:.
 * Sword and Sorcerer: He is a swordsman and Shamsiel has several magic powers.
 * Their First Time: In both the anime and visual novel (regardless of the route), his first time is with Shamsiel in Boan when he "exorcises" her.
 * Trademark Favorite Food: In both the anime and visual novel his favorite food is... Bread. White bread especially, for whatever reason. His favorite drink? Milk!
 * Underestimating Badassery: What a lot of people tend to do whenever they first meet with this guy. Only few individuals with any sense to notice his underlying gifts were Shamsiel, King Hagel and probably Luceria. Prime Minister Rubin was the biggest dope of all who fell prey to this trope, Repeatedly. Sending him on all these impossible missions hoping he'd fumble and croak only to thrive and gain new insight into his own capabilities every time, even gaining some staunch allies while furthering his own influence within the kingdoms politics. The generals Zant, Schlamm and Felzin are just as guilty in this as they'd taken some bad advice from Guam Loin in hiring assassins who Lute dispatches with the utmost ease; while in his sleep at least anyway. Emeralia also counts since she was initially put up to seduce lute with her sex magic, only for her to succumb to his underlying machismo instead (with some help from Shamsiel of coarse).
 * Undying Loyalty: Lute is very loyal to his comrades, his kingdom, his family, and his loved ones. It's part of the reason why many of the women who DO fall in love with him, do so.
 * Unfit for Greatness: He himself, thinks he is this. Initially. One reason is because, he doesn't really care about being a big-shot or having power or status above others. All he cares about is mostly simple things and is content to making the most of just about any situation he's in. As time goes on, he starts moving up the ranks and people start recognizing his secret badassitude, but he still thinks he's this trope. Why? Because he feels like he only got where he got thanks to a mix of luck as well as Shamsiel's help. He maintains his modesty and feels like he didn't do hardly anything. However, Shamsiel points out that greatness isn't always about doing major things by one's self, and in fact, she actually contributes greatly to push him to want and do more.
 * Visual Innuendo: Lute's sword's hilt. It's almost a running gag. Watch the anime and pay close attention to how it almost always looks as though it's pointing to/from a specific area of his body then remember what one actually does with a sword. Seriously. Look at his image, it's even happening there!
 * X Marks the Spot:.
 * Zero Effort Boss He wins some considerably difficult battles, challenges, and other situations he gets into with almost no effort on his part. He admits this and thus never even attempts to make it seem like he actually did anything.

Shamsiel Sahar
A succubus demon-girl that falls in love with Lute Hende after he survives a night in bed with her. She had been attacking townsmen in Boan at the start of the story. She amuses herself by taunting (practically) everything, and although she doesn’t let it show right away, she has a deep concern for Lute, and constantly worries about him. "Voiced by: Miyu Inoue aka Kanematsu Yuka (JP)"


 * Absolute Cleavage: Her outfit leaves little to the imagination, but justified with her being a succubus, which preys on men by seducing them through strictly sexual means
 * And Your Reward Is Clothes:
 * Badass in Distress Most of the time, Shamsiel is easiest the most powerful person in any room she enters.
 * Break The Cutie:.
 * Berserk Button: She doesn't like it when people constantly belittle or act mean toward Lute, and even offers to devour them, and in the case of the generals' assassins, she actually does it. She also doesn't like it whenever.
 * Big Damn Heroes:.
 * Bodyguarding a Badass
 * Breast Expansion Happens in both the anime and the visual novel, and both times were due to her entering a church. However, in the.
 * Blatant Lies: While she gloats that she doesn't lie and always tells the truth... Yeah, not always. She tends to say such things jokingly and no one is ever quite able to prove one way or the other, such as when she says she doesn't attack others after siding with Lute, but there were at least 2 instances where she DID attack others. It was on Lute's behalf, but he still didn't actually order her or even know she did so until afterwards.
 * But Not Too Bi: She's a succubus, so she prefers to attack men.
 * Bully Hunter: She's not very fond of people who disrespect or continuously mock Lute. He tells her not to bother attacking them since he doesn't care if they treat him like that, but a few times... She takes matters into her own hands.
 * The Cameo: She and many of the characters appear on posters and merchandise in the anime adaptation of "Mankitsu Happening" including her being on the cover of a manga book being read by a character in one of the trailers. Shamsiel also happens to be the one to appear the most in said cameos overall with several posters including a few featuring a screenshot from the KF anime of Lute grabbing her breast for the first time. It's kind of funny when you realize said images are supposedly decorating the walls of a regular manga shop, NOT an adult shop or anything like that.
 * Coitus Uninterruptus: She uses her magic a few times to create barriers that prevent outsiders from interrupting Lute and whoever he is getting intimate with. Whether it's her or another woman, but most of the time, she's secretly watching.
 * Clingy Jealous Girl Surprisingly enough... or not! She usually doesn't actually care if Lute is sleeping with women besides her, in fact, she teases him about it almost constantly, and even helps him out with doing so in a few instances. However, at the same time, With that being said, there is at least  genuine instance of her showing jealousy towards . The reason for this was because Shamsiel could  However, she actually
 * Cute Monster Girl: Cute? Definitely. Monster? She's a high-class demon, so she can be at times just ask her victims aside from Lute... Oh wait!.
 * Cute Little Fangs: She sports them well, and they're a nice reminder that she's not human. She's a succubus, and make no mistake: If you do anything to insult her or otherwise piss her off... She. will. EAT YOU UP!
 * Death by Sex: Happens to most of her "victims". Lute is the only man to survive an actual night with her
 * Did You Just Have Sex?: She calls Lute out on this a few times, usually to tease him about it, but she even ends up getting jealous a couple times.
 * Defeat Means Friendship: After she and Lute's first night together where he survives sex with her, this happens. Although in the anime it stays at this level, in the Visual Novel,
 * Early Bird Cameo: In the anime adaptation, she's the first character to appear. Seconds before it shows her devouring a man in Boan.
 * Even Evil Has Standards: While not so much evil, she's still a member of a demonic race, but there are lines even she wouldn't cross..
 * Erotic Eating: In just about every sense, but given her status as a succubus, it's no surprise. She even tries feeding Lute directly from her mouth as he eats breakfast as an excuse to kiss him.
 * Eyes of Gold: She has gorgeous golden eyes that also glow in the dark, making them Glowing Eyes of Doom too.
 * Fate Worse Than Death: Being a succubus, those whom she engages in intercourse with die when she "drains" them. An in-story example is what happened to the assassins. Lute may have been the one to knock them out, but it was Shamsiel who took it upon herself to reduce them to shriveled husks and then toss them out the window when she was done.
 * Feminine Women Can Cook: She is able to cook, though her species don't feeds using food at all.
 * Fiery Redhead: Though she may not have the temper of most examples of this, anyone who knows even a little about her, knows she has a burning passionate side. She's very outgoing, she'll always speak her mind, and she could care less who knows it.
 * Forgotten First Meeting:
 * Gondor Calls For Aid: In the Harem Route, when Lute is . For her part, Shamsiel was !
 * Good Adultery, Bad Adultery: For her, she mostly doesn't care if Lute sleeps with other women (and it doesn't matter about those women's situations either whether they're spoken for or not). In fact, she helps him out a few times with such situations..
 * Good All Along: After their first night, she becomes Lute's friend and first lover despite being a man-killing super natural creature..
 * Hidden Depths: At first you're busy looking at her gorgeous body, then you either... well... DIE! Thanks to her sucking you dry. OR you get to know her and find out she has a Hidden Heart of Gold on top of being very intelligent, wise, and powerful too.
 * Horny Devil: Make no mistake, she's a succubus. So her interests, hobbies, thoughts, and desires have one thing in common. Of course, she DOES have actual horns, wings, and a tail.
 * Hot Witch: Being a succubus, she has an array of magical powers such as flight, being able to change weapons into carrots, able to kill human men by draining their life force aside from Lute, warping long distances quickly, able to lift large amounts of weight, can phase through walls and the floor, and can even become invisible to anyone she wants and control who is able to see her at will.
 * Happiness in Slavery: After their first night together, she joyfully declares herself to be Lute's sex slave in the anime adaptation, although she calls herself a concubine in the visual novel. It changes later depending on the route.
 * Heroic Comedic Sociopath: After she falls in love with Lute, she generally listens to what he says, but that doesn't mean she fully changes who she is. For instance: During the night when Lute was attacked by assassins D and E, Lute knocks them out in his sleep. Then, Shamsiel has this playful little exchange: "Maybe I should eat 'em." (Lute snores) "What do you think, Lute?" (Lute snores again) "Ohhh, you think I should eat them too? You're right they're bad, and they need to be smitten." (Lute still snoring) "Alright! Bon Appetite!" The next day their bodies are found shriveled up and tossed outside Lute's window a few stories above the ground.
 * Interspecies Romance: Her being a succubus, which is a class of demon, and Lute being human.
 * I Want My Beloved to Be Happy In the routes where the player don't chooses her, she basically ends up doing this.
 * It's All My Fault:
 * Joined Your Party: She's the first woman Lute meets that . Lute was pretty surprised when he first met her.
 * Killed Off for Real: Happens to Assassin D and E when she drains them dry.
 * Ki Attacks: Her magic takes all manner of forms, but when she and Lute are.
 * King Incognito: At first, when she sees Lute in Boan, she.
 * Living Aphrodisiac: She's a succubus, so it's very hard to resist her, and very easy to be ensnared by her.
 * Lovable Sex Maniac: She's a su-ccu-bu-s, so of course she's this.
 * Made of Iron: Not in the way of being actually durable...unless you count in the bedroom, but her demonic powers allow her to phase through solid objects including bullets, but apart from magic or magic objects, she is near-invulnerable to everything.
 * Matchmaker Crush: In a few of the routes, she helps Lute out with his other love interests even though she loves him too.
 * Moment Killer: Almost immediately after every. single. touching moment Lute has with any other girl besides her, the second he's alone she will almost always appear from nowhere to playfully tease him about what just happened. That said, she tends to use this to lead into having her own moments with him as well. In fact, she also inverts this trope sometimes for the benefit of Lute's other love interests when she uses her magic to prevent outsiders from disturbing Lute and whoever he's currently being intimate with.
 * Ms. Exposition: She's been around for a long time, she has a lot of experience and skills thanks to that, and is also very wise, and Dangerously Genre Savvy yet her playful nature tends to make others forget this about her. Well, that and the fact that apart from Lute and other demons, any other humans that see her tend to be her "meals" who don't exactly get the chance to talk after encountering her.
 * Ms. Fanservice: She is notably most interested in sex than other potential love interests and her costume is much more skimpy.
 * My Sensors Indicate You Want to Tap That: She can read Lute like a book, and openly teases him about it, but at the same time, he knows she has feelings for him too, which she teases him about too.
 * Nominal Hero: She is killing innocent human beings without any provocation at the start of the story. Long story short, being devoted to Lute is the only thing that separates her from an actual villain.
 * Not-So-Abandoned Building: Just because you can't see, hear, or sense her, doesn't necessarily mean she isn't around. Her powers make her able to reveal herself to anyone she wants, anywhere, anytime, and she takes full advantage of that fact. She can even control how many people in a crowd can see her or not.
 * No Angels: According to her, the idea that demons can't enter Churches and holy places is a load of crap. However, while she DOES enter such places and even engages in sex a few times in said places with Lute, one has to wonder if there might be SOME truth behind it. The logic being that if going in a Church didn't affect her at all, why then did her breasts suddenly increase in size (permanently in the Visual Novel) from repeated trips into one? So it DOES have effects, but not how we'd expect.
 * No Range Like Point-Blank Range: During the climax of the . A feat, she teasingly points out to him by saying "Zero points!"
 * Nice All Along: Initially, she seemingly wanted to kill Lute during their first meeting in Boan, but after their night together she chooses to stay by his side..
 * Nightmare Fuel Station Attendant: Most of the time we see her, we're either too busy laughing along with (or at) her jokes and playful antics or we're distracted by her hotness. But, there are a few moments in both the anime and visual novel where she reminds us just what she as a succubus (2nd highest class of demon) is capable of doing to the average person. Especially men.
 * Obviously Evil: Her horns, bat wings, and golden-colored orbits easily give away she is up to no good.
 * Our Demons Are Different: She's a succubus, which according to her is near the top of the demon hierarchy. However, aside from her near-insatiable sexual hunger, she acts more humanely toward Lute than probably anyone else.
 * Oh Crap: Most if not everyone she comes in contact with has this sort of reaction when they first see her. It's not like there isn't good reason for it, but still.
 * Opera Gloves: They're pretty close to being Detached Sleeves, except that they extend to her hands and are similar to Fingerless Gloves.
 * Pep Talker: Whenever Lute seems to be feeling down or unworthy of praise, Shamsiel will almost always appear to say or do something to cheer him on and up. A prime example is this quote by her: "But you made me fall in love with you. It's not all about doing things alone. Inspiring people to help you is a big part of your strength." Another funny one is following Lute being told he will be the King's successor to the throne. Lute wondered what people would call him since he felt "King Lute the 1st" was lame. Without missing a beat she responds, "Penis the 1st", which he doesn't like but was appreciative of the joke to lighten things up.
 * Perky Female Minion: At times, she comes across as this to Lute.
 * Pool Scene:
 * The Pornomancer: Zigzagged. SHE is a succubus, and thus she has little to no interest in women as far as wanting to "feed" on them. Having said that, she DOES at the very least acknowledge when other women are attractive in some way or another, especially as far as comparing boobs goes. There's also the fact that since she's a succubus, she makes it pretty clear that she can pursue and ensnare any man she wants with literally lethal results of success. Having said that, after her first night with Lute (which is supposedly the first and only time a man had survived being with her), she decides to stay with him from then on rather than feed on other men, because as she puts it: his "tastes" the best.
 * Quirky but Competent: Her personality, attitude, and disposition makes her seem mostly carefree and fun-loving, but when the time comes, she is more than capable of handling nearly any situation with ease. Thanks in part due to both her powers and the amount of experience she has had since she has lived a lot longer than most if not all other characters we meet directly in the story.
 * Royal Blood: As a succubus, her species is apparently the 2nd highest ranking class of demon. To the point where she even makes the claim that it puts her ABOVE the other women Lute knows, such as Isis (a daughter of nobility) or even Princess Luceria.
 * Roaring Rampage of Rescue: In her route, after.
 * Savvy Guy, Energetic Girl: Lute is definitely smart, though unskilled in most areas. Meanwhile, Shamsiel is an energetic succubus with an insatiable appetite for fun... and Lute.
 * Sex Face Turn: She is pretty much a remorseless murderer, but stops (mostly) killing people after Lute has sex with her.
 * She's Got Legs: She sure does! Her being a succubus and all, it's no surprise. She wears a pair of high-heeled, dark purple, zip-up boots with the zipper seemingly always partially opened. She also wears light purple, thigh-high stockings with garter straps connecting them to the rest of her outfit.
 * Single Target Sexuality: After that first night with Lute, she claims that she will only ever do anything sexual with him ever. That's not to say she wouldn't use her powers on those who wronged or attempted to harm Lute, such as Motaire back in Boan or the assassins sent by the generals.
 * Sleep Cute: In the anime,.
 * Stalker with a Crush: Done playfully for the most part, but zigzagged since in some routes it is hinted that.
 * Stripperiffic: Her outfits are this... Justified, given she's a succubus. Lute even mistakes her for a "cute prostitute" the first time he sees her, much to her delight at being called "cute".
 * Supporting Harem: Depending on which route you pick, determines her role in this to Lute.
 * Serenade Your Lover: In the route, she . . Special note.
 * Tenchi Solution:.
 * Troll: She absolutely loves messing around with people. During the story, she has many moments where she teases Lute, but most of the time she does it playfully. For example, when Lute is wondering what the people would call him if he became king, she says (without missing a beat), "Penis the First". The only times she actually trolls someone in a serious manner were in situations where she was getting back at those who were constantly belittling Lute,.
 * Their First Time: She is the one who takes Lute's virginity.
 * Unfit for Greatness: Inverted, every time Lute says something about how he doesn't feel worthy of the recognition, prestige, or rise in rank for something he was part of, he points out how most of it was either a fluke or it was thanks to others, especially Shamsiel, and yet each time he DOES say that, Shamsiel always tells him to accept it and keep working to move forward and continue on. One could say that it was thanks to her that he ever got anywhere at all in anything. (Again, he knows this, so he is both humble and grateful towards her for it.)
 * Interestingly enough, Shamsiel actually has a more direct version of this trope applied to herself during a few of the routes, ESPECIALLY the . For you see, thanks to the Demon Execution Order, it was forbidden by law for humans and demons to marry . Shamsiel however, would never be able to do like that, because succubus can't pass themselves off as humans due to their demonic features: horns, tail, wings, and fangs. So....
 * Villain Protagonist: She's a demon who preys on innocent men. The only reason she isn't an outright bad guy is because her loyalty to Lute ensures she will side with him.
 * X Marks the Hero:.
 * You Taste Delicious: She says this about Lute..
 * You Can't Go Home Again: Happens in 2 of the routes..
 * Zettai Ryouiki: Type A - Thigh-highs with garter straps.

The top female graduate from the Royal Knight's Academy, and the number 2 overall graduate from the class that Lute was part of. Although she seems cold and mean, she is actually a very affectionate girl who cannot hide her true emotions toward those she loves. "Voiced by: Alice Sakurai (JP)"


 * Absolute Cleavage: Three words: See her image?
 * A-Cup Angst: Inverted. As the only female Royal Knight, she feels very conscious of her body since apparently, her fellow royal knights (minus her fiance Motaire) as well as their leader and higher ranked Royal Knights all make comments about her large breasts, and some even make attempts to cop feels, much to her displeasure. Hence, she wonders if it would have been better if they were smaller. Lute however, tells her that he thinks she is fine as is, and that they suit her well. She then thanks him.
 * Action Girl: She was the number 2 graduate of her class from the Royal Knight's Academy AND the top female graduate overall! More impressive is that she seemingly got to where she was on her own, because unlike Motaire who had been taught by Gladys, the daughter of the top knight in the kingdom, she learned entirely on her own.
 * Actually Pretty Funny: She winds up on both sides of this at one point. . Later on in the same route,.
 * Adaptational Villainy: In the anime,.
 * Alpha Bitch: Comes with being the hottest girl at the academy, as well as (second) best in the field of it's many, many policies. How can you not tell by the way she dismisses and berates Lute or anybody else below her station? She eventually grows out of it after some humbling experiences.
 * Ambiguously Bi: It depends on how you look at it..., so again, depends on how you look at it.
 * Apologizes a Lot: Happens during the . Again though,.
 * Badass Cape:.
 * Badass in Distress: She was the top female graduate from the Knight's Academy, and 2nd overall only to Motaire, her fiance. However, in her route she becomes this several times, and justified since she gets more or less thrown into a situation that leaves her quite out of her element. For starters....
 * Bathing Beauty: In her own route as well as, but when it happens in her own route,.
 * Berserk Button: At first it is towards Lute for being the lowest graduate from the Knight's Academy, but after she starts falling for him later on, it changes to anyone trying to harm or act meanly toward Lute. She's also not very fond of Droit and Aristera, but that's sort of justified since . In the.
 * Big Fancy Sword: Isis wields a 2-handed long-sword which she is seen carrying with her just about everywhere. She's quite skilled with it too since she was the 2nd highest graduate of her class, AND the fact that in.
 * Bodyguard Crush: In the harem and Luceria routes, she voluntarily becomes Lute's personal bodyguard, after seeing how brilliant he actually is, especially compared to her fiance Motaire. In both routes, she develops feelings for Lute, hence this, but in Luceria's route she misses her chance. Thankfully though, she doesn't miss in the Harem Route which is the true canon ending, so she ends up happily becoming one of Lute's harem of brides/lovers}}.
 * Bodyguarding a Badass:
 * Brainwashed and Crazy: Isis winds up experiencing a version of this a number of times... . Later on In the anime,
 * Break The Cutie: Happens, big time in her own route. See Despair Event Horizon below...
 * The Cameo: She and many of the characters appear on posters and merchandise in the anime adaptation of "Mankitsu Happening". It's kind of funny when you realize said images are supposedly decorating the walls of a regular manga shop, NOT an adult shop or anything like that.
 * Cannot Spit It Out: Happens to her in Luceria route when it is revealed that she cried at.
 * Career Versus Man: At the end of her route, she and Lute
 * Clingy Jealous Girl: She has quite a few moments of this: Early on, she was this toward Motaire, but he didn't care at all..
 * Cluster F-Bomb: She delivers some during the Harem Route,.
 * Comforting Comforter: See You Must Be Cold below...
 * Compressed Adaptation: Her role is very compact in the anime versus the visual novel. In the anime, she seems to have replaced (and at least somewhat inherited) the combined roles of Motaire, Emeralia, and even herself from the visual novel. What does that mean? Well... ..
 * Covert Pervert: In a few of the routes where she warms up to Lute, she sometimes makes jokes to him, or misinterprets his jokes as serious and actually offers to accept his joking advances as real, only to usually withdraw bashfully the next moment.
 * Complaining About Rescues They Don't Like: In her route, she does this a couple times.
 * Chekhov's Gun: It's only ever mentioned in her own route, but she has a.
 * Cute Clumsy Girl: She is very cute and very clumsy as revealed in the royal guard path.
 * Dark and Troubled Past: It is revealed that her family had defected from a snowy kingdom in the northeast, and her siblings had all died from the plague, so she was pushed toward entering the Royal Knight's Academy. She worked hard and eventually graduated as the top female graduate of her class, and 2nd overall. She was also set up in an arranged marriage to Motaire as the last hope for her family's survival and prosperity, but despite trying her hardest to make it work between them, That said,
 * Dead Siblings: We find out that her family had defected from the snowy kingdom of Ostacia in the northeast, and her siblings had all died from the plague.
 * Defeat by Modesty: There's a couple of examples, especially.
 * Defeat Means Friendship: Technically speaking..
 * Demoted To Extra: In the anime adaptation her role is very compressed..
 * Despair Event Horizon: Her route is brimming with moments where she is experiencing this..
 * Driven to Suicide:
 * Death Seeker: With how Motaire speaks to and treats her, especially at the start of her route, . It explains a lot of her behavior during said mission such as:.
 * Family Honor: Her family are defected nobles from a snowy northern kingdom, and all of her siblings died from the plague. Leaving her as her family's last hope for surviving. Her father managed to make ends meet for the most part, but he had Isis attend the Royal Knight's Academy as well as had her set in an arranged marriage to Motaire who comes from an extremely wealthy family. She feels quite alone being the only woman among the Royal knights, because the others tend to just talk about her breasts (even her commanding officer is always trying to cop a feel), and the fact . Quite a step up I'd say.
 * Feminine Women Can Cook: At the beginning of her route, she couldn't. It's revealed that she, Motaire, and Prince Bobon were all terrible at cooking, camping, and field survival. In time though, {{spoiler|she realizes that Lute actually IS good at cooking, camping, and field survival, and eventually she starts learning from watching him.{{spoiler|In the epilogue though, we see that she at least tries to cook, but she still (humorously) makes minor mistakes}}.
 * Fingerless Gloves: She's one of the few in the story to even wear actual gloves, but hers are this.
 * {{spoiler|"Glad to Be Alive" Sex}}: Engages in this in her route after Lute manages to {{spoiler|cure her near-fatal fever she caught from the sap of the Guardian Tree. One could also say that in the epilogue of the Harem Route, she has nothing BUT this with Lute every day, because she is so happy to be with him after having helped save his life}}.
 * Gondor Calls For Aid: In the Harem Route, when Lute is {{spoiler|framed, imprisoned, and sentenced to death, Shamsiel is unable to rescue him alone, so she recruits the help of the other women Lute loved}}. In Isis' case, {{spoiler|she had been kept under house arrest with Princess Luceria for her attempting to investigate the crime on her own. But, when Shamsiel appeared with Roxanne, they came up with the plan to have Roxanne pose as the Princess staying in her room, while Shamsiel actually brought her to seek Gladys' help in Vunderbalt. Meanwhile, Isis was to stay in the princess' room to help cover for their deception,}} and had she not been there to help, {{spoiler|Motaire may have exposed them}}.
 * Good Adultery, Bad Adultery: Motaire likes to fool around with many girls. She knew this even before they were engaged in an arranged marriage by their parents. She thought them being betrothed would mean he would stop, {{spoiler|but he didn't}}. {{spoiler|In her route, Motaire basically tells her that she meant nothing to him and whether she died or not on the mission, he was likely going to call off their engagement soon anyway. Still, on the trip, she gets stung by a Sexipede which leads to Lute having to "suck out the poison" from her breasts, so he was the first man to see, let alone touch her bare breasts. Later on, she gets caught by the Guardian Tree and exposed it its sap which sends her body into an uncontrollable heat so she gives up her Virginity to Lute, much to her dismay and anger afterwards. HOWEVER, in the final 3rd of her route, after a series of events where she is saved by Lute (in more ways than one), she falls in love with him and willingly seeks him out and they make love at least two more times by the end of the trip. Whether that counts or not is a little sketchy since upon her falling in love with Lute, she states her intentions of calling things off with Motaire once they get home}}. In {{spoiler|the Harem}} Route, it's a little different, because over the course of the entire route, she {{spoiler|never once has sex with Lute (not a single H-scene for her), yet she still falls in love with him, but different from her route. Upon this happening, she declares that she will NEVER have sex with Motaire, and was intending on calling off their engagement herself, which she later does. In the epilogue to the Harem Route, she has officially called off her arranged marriage to Motaire and became one of Lute's wives/lovers}}.
 * Good People Have Good Sex: In her route, {{spoiler|Isis at first has 2 sexual... "incidents" with Lute, and though she was under the influence of venom and sap that had powerful aphrodisiac qualities which honestly made her thoroughly enjoy it, she was VERY pissed off when they'd finished each time. However, after a while and a few close calls on her part, Lute not only gets her to like him, but she falls in love with him, and they make love at least 2 more times by the end of the route (Once, she was secretly luring him into having sex with her as she bathed in a river, and the next time was initially played up to be "Training to overcome one's Weaknesses", but they both ended up dropping the charade and just enjoying themselves thoroughly. The epilogue of Isis' route has them flee the kingdom together and living modestly deep in the countryside somewhere, and yes they continue to have sex pretty frequently. In fact, Isis even actually proposed to Lute after about a year together during sex, and he accepted}}. In the {{spoiler|Harem Route, Isis is the only one to not have sex with Lute even once during the entire route until the epilogue set a year later, but by then it's said that she is a member of his harem of wives/lovers and they have lots of loving and passionate sex pretty much daily. A fact that she and the other girls in the harem make NO attempts to hide}}. The Anime Adaptation has {{spoiler|only 1 sex scene for Isis, and although she was seemingly taking orders from the Prime Minister to be Lute's bodyguard, AND the fact that she was under the influence of an aphrodisiac thanks to Shamsiel... She pretty much threw herself at Lute, and from what we see later on, she must've greatly enjoyed it, because she seemed to have undergone some kind of either High Heel Face Turn or Sex Face Turn when next we see her, because of how kindly she was acting toward Lute (including blushing as she poured him drinks}}.
 * Good All Along: See Hidden Heart of Gold below.
 * Happily Arranged Marriage: Inverted. So much when it comes to her arranged engagement to Motaire. {{spoiler|SHE had at least attempted to make things try to work out between them, but Motaire could've cared less about her, instead choosing to cheat on her, treat her poorly, and say to her face that he didn't care if she lived or died, and either way, he was likely going to call off the engagement anyway}}.
 * Happiness in Slavery: Played with. {{spoiler|In her own route, she ends up falling in love with Lute overtime, and during one of the times they have sex, Lute decides to tease her a bit and make her say that she would be his "slave" if he made her feel good or if he would go easy on her. Eventually, she admitted defeat, although it's obvious that neither side was going to take it too seriously. In the Harem route, she develops feelings for him as well, but it initially starts out as admiration, so she becomes his personal body guard. Not really a slave or servant-esque job, but when Lute makes a few jokes such as having her "warm his bed with him", she misses the joke and replies seriously (though bashfully) that she would comply if he ordered her. Which Lute would of course turn down, but he admitted that her responses were unexpected. In the epilogue, she becomes a member of Lute's harem of wives/lovers, so again it doesn't mean she sees herself as his "slave", but she's still willing to do whatever he asks of her, and she couldn't be happier for it}}.
 * Heartbroken Badass: {{spoiler|Thanks to how badly Motaire treats her, especially in her own route. She gets better thanks to Lute}}.
 * Hidden Heart of Gold: {{spoiler|When she finally drops the "mask" of her being the tough-as-nails, duty-bound, never-back-down, cocky, high class, ice queen knight, Isis is a very kind and gentle person. By the very end of her route, she has come to love Lute so much that she made herself enemies with the entire kingdom to be with him forever. Similarly she almost gets imprisoned and is under threat of execution in the climax of the Harem route, but thanks to her and the efforts of the other women in love with Lute, they are able to clear his name and when he becomes the new king, she becomes a part of his harem. Also, earlier on in the story, when she shows up, sure she acts rude at first, but whenever she seems to go too far, she apologizes and even sometimes corrects Motaire when he seems to be going to far}}.
 * Honor Before Reason: Her route is gushing with this {{spoiler|at first in a very bad way}}. When she and Lute first start out on their mission, {{spoiler|their troops were very skeptical of the situation, but she kept pushing them forward with zero accommodations. It leads to 2 dead, and her threatening the rest to try and get them to stay in the forest. Naturally, they ditch her and Lute while they're sleeping and go AWOL. They even took most of the supplies and equipment with them. Does this stop her? Nope. She keeps going on her nigh-suicidal drive to continue the mission. Lute stays with her, though, and after a series of events with Lute helping save her life (mostly from her own Death Seeker ways), she falls in love with him by the end of the route, and at the end of it, when Lute is being set up for execution by the Prime Minister, she chooses to protect Lute and flee with him rather than kill him or leave him}}.
 * If You Ever Do Anything to Hurt Her...: It goes both ways. {{spoiler|In Shamsiel's route, she and Lute return to the capital midway and her fever returns, so she is unable to set out again. She was intending to have Motaire apologize and force him to start treating her better, but she was unable to do anything. Lute is told to set out once again, but before he leaves, he confronts Motaire and basically says this to him. Sadly it didn't seem to have any effect on him.}} Then, alternatively... {{spoiler|in the Harem route, she falls in love with Lute and near the end, Motaire comes to her and they are discussing Lute. She slaps him when he accuses Lute of treason and basically says this.}}
 * Ice Queen: Due to some Blue Blood arrogance early on. {{spoiler|Ironic, since she's from a family of defected/displaced foreign nobles. She was also trying desperately to get a relationship with Motaire off the ground since they were set up in an arranged marriage by their parents, despite it being a lost cause and she was trying to hide the frustrations. In actuality, she's secretly quite the Fragile Flower by the time the story starts because of all this.}}
 * Defrosting Ice Queen: {{spoiler|She thaws out considerably in her route, especially after Lute saves her life multiple times, and how not once does he do so because he expects anything from her in return. He did it simply because he wanted to. Also due to how Lute treats her with more consideration and decency than Motaire ever did. She defrosts in a different way in the Harem Route, via seeing Lute's competence as a leader, maturity, and wisdom especially in long-term military and political matters. By the end of Luceria or the Harem routes, she has come to greatly respect as well as love him, even becoming his personal bodyguard}}.
 * {{spoiler|If You Ever Do Anything to Hurt Her...}}: Both ways for her, depending on the route. {{spoiler|In her own route, she comes to love Lute after he saves her from her despair over Motaire, and when Lute's life is in danger due to his half-demon heritage, she doesn't hesitate to cast off her old life in favor of staying with him forever, though they are forced to flee the kingdom, she vows to never let anyone hurt him}}. {{spoiler|In Shamsiel's route, they return to the capital early, and Isis had been talking about how she intended to force Motaire to apologize and start treating her right, but her fever comes back. Lute is meanwhile being sent back out again, but before he leaves he more or less says this to Motaire about Isis, but unfortunately, hints point to it not setting in}}. Lastly, in the {{spoiler|Harem route, Isis falls in love with Lute after she finally realizes how capable he is at being a leader compared to Motaire, so whenever people try to speak ill of or threaten Lute, she steps in and protects him, even going as far as becoming his personal bodyguard}}.
 * I Just Want My Beloved to Be Happy: In the {{spoiler|Luceria route's ending}}, it is implied that {{spoiler|she had already fallen for Lute by the end, but in the actual ending, when Lute marries Luceria, it's stated that she cries throughout it.}} Also happens in {{spoiler|Shamsiel's ending, when Lute and Isis go back to the capital, she keeps talking about Motaire and how she intends on forcing him to start treating her right, meaning she wanted him back. Lute is understandably is upset given all he went through for her to that point, but he still helps her. Lute even pulls an "If You Ever Do Anything to Hurt Her..." on Motaire, telling him to treat her well.}}
 * Nicknaming the Enemy: Despite them both regularly being around and being used to cheat on her by {{spoiler|Motaire}}, neither {{spoiler|Aristera nor Droit know her real name. Instead, they refer to Isis as "Miss Big Scary Knight". Isis in turn refers to them as sluts and harlots}}.
 * I Will Protect Him: Gender flipped with her becoming Lute's bodyguard. {{spoiler|She pulls this straight up at the end of her own route when Motaire and the Prime Minister want Lute dead. She refuses to ever leave him.}}
 * I Have You Now, My Pretty: In the Visual Novel during her {{spoiler|expedition through the Gripon Woods, she and Lute come across 2 demon temples. At the first one they find, she gets caught and trapped by the mystical guardian tree. The tree then uses its vines to... smear its sticky sap onto her body as well as in her mouth. It was actually just about to take one step further... inward. But thankfully, Lute manages to stop it and force the tree to release her. After that, she's left to deal with the "immediate side-effects" of the sap}}.
 * Improbable Antidote: In the anime, {{spoiler|she ends up drinking wine that was laced with a powerful aphrodisiac (instead of a poison thanks to Shamsiel), and when Lute asks if there was a cure for it. Shamsiel responds, "If she's f---ed good and hard it'll go away. Lute. You should do her." He does, and it works.}}
 * Intimate Healing: Of the {{spoiler|Kiss of Life}} variation: {{spoiler|In her route, she catches a deadly fever from being exposed to the sap of the Guardian Tree, so Lute had to seek out the aid of demons to help cure her. They assist him in getting the cure, but she was too weakened to take it on her own, so in order to give it to her, he takes it into his mouth and kisses her to force-feed to her.}} {{spoiler|It works, and it turns out she was awake during it!}}
 * Insatiable Newlyweds: At first, all she wanted was to be happy with Motaire, her fiance, but their arranged marriage meant nothing to him, so he just kept on cheating on her with other women. {{spoiler|In her own route, she and Lute end up fleeing the kingdom and settling down somewhere deep in the countryside living modestly together. It's hinted that they were going at it pretty much every day, and around a year later, Isis even proposed to Lute during sex even though he had already been planning on doing so once he could afford a ring. The epilogue of her route implies that once they were actually married, it's gone from "almost" to definitely every night for them}}. Alternatively, in the {{spoiler|Harem route, she doesn't have sex with Lute a single time during the story, despite her falling in love with him. However, the epilogue of said route, (which is the true canon route) has Isis become a member of Lute's harem of wives/lovers, and although she is one of the ones he didn't actually marry, she acts as though they are. It's said that they have sex on a daily basis at least a few times, and even further details say that whenever she and Lute are "on duty" alone together, that they spend all that time having sex too}}.
 * Kick the Dog: She does this a bit with Lute {{spoiler|initially}}. But it's later revealed that the reason for this is a mix of her own pride AND the fact that she is on the receiving end of this in her arranged marriage to Motaire. {{spoiler|She gets him back in a most epic fashion during the Harem route. She ends up volunteering to become Lute's personal body guard, even defending him from Motaire on a few occasions, including threatening to kill him (Motaire) if he continued to disrespect Lute. Then, during the climax of the route, when Lute is imprisoned falsely, Motaire goes to check on the Princess, and when he accuses Lute of murder in front of her, she slaps him hard then delivers a crushing Reason You Suck Speech that includes her professing her love for Lute and ends on her saying that "when/if he dies tomorrow, you'll (Motaire) be as good as dead to me too}}".
 * Leaning on the Fourth Wall: Lute pulls this in the epilogue of her route. He felt that their journey into the forest was a "fated plot to join their hearts", but even so, the 2 of them were going to live happily for/with each other for the rest of their lives.
 * Love Across Battlelines: {{spoiler|In her route, she comes to the realization that Lute is actually a demon, which according to their kingdom's laws means he is an enemy of the state, but when it came to her being ordered to execute him herself, she defects and chooses to escape with him. From there, they flee the country and abandon their previous lives as knights, choosing to live moderately deep in the countryside together. She even proposes to him (during sex) after a few months living together, again even knowing he's of demonic heritage}}.
 * Love Makes You Crazy: Or rather lust induced from the aphrodisiac she drinks in the anime, or the sexipede's sting and the sap of the Guardian Tree... THAT makes her crazy. {{spoiler|Thankfully, Lute manages to "cure" her each time}}.
 * Making a Spectacle of Yourself: After getting over her fever from the {{spoiler|Guardian Tree Sap, a day or so later, she and Lute had traveled deeper into the forest, but upon stopping to set up camp, she let Lute know she was going to rinse off in the river nearby. Lute was curious as to why she would announce it to him, so he went to investigate, and upon seeing her, he was amazed by how gorgeous her nude body was. She calls him out on peeping and tries to have him bring her her clothes... One thing leads to another and before you know it, they're making love standing in the river. During this, Lute questions her repeatedly and eventually gets her to admit she had intentionally been luring him to do this with her}}.
 * Making Love in All the Wrong Places: Let's see... There's the fact that she had originally been saving herself for Motaire, but {{spoiler|a sting from Sexipede's and groping from Lute ruined that for her}}. Then there was {{spoiler|getting nearly raped by the Guardian tree and having its sap cover her body and being forced to drink some of it, which leads to her going into a state of sexual arousal that ends up causing her to lose control and have sex with Lute, thus she loses her virginity (outside of a demon temple)}}. A few days later, {{spoiler|she and Lute stop to set up camp, and she goes to wash herself in the river nearby. Lute suspects she was hoping he would follow her (and she was), so they end up making love on the edge of a river... in a magical demon filled forest. The next day, they make love once more out in the open in the demon forest. Eventually they return to the capital together, and all signs hint to the fact that although she hadn't called off her engagement to Motaire yet, she was going to spend the night together with Lute in his new room in the palace, except this time there was an interruption that forced them both to flee the kingdom instead}}.
 * Matchmaker Crush: {{spoiler|In Luceria's route, Isis had come to love Lute, but at the same time, she never actually declared it to him. Instead, she met with the King one night and told him about how Lute and Luceria were in love, and the King then went to Lute's room and discovered Luceria had sneaked in after hours on her own, which was something her mother had done when she had fallen in love with him. Thus, he acknowledged and approved of their love and formally announced not only their marriage but also that Lute would become the next king. In the end, Isis ends up crying her eyes out at their wedding over her missed chance at love with Lute. It works out better in the Harem route for both though}}.
 * Mistreated Bride: She was in an arranged marriage to Motaire. She tried desperately to make it work between them, but he treats her like crap. {{spoiler|He cheats on her with other girls, and in her route, he tells her he has no feelings of attraction toward her whatsoever, he says to her face that if she were to die on a mission then that's all she was worth, she starts to cry from him saying all this to her, and he mocks her. He tells her that he fully intends to break off the engagement with her, because he has the right do so, and then he walks off with his groupies leaving her alone... Jeez, someone give her a hug. Icing on the cake? When she and Lute return to the capital after completing the mission, he tells her he lost a bet that she wouldn't make it back... Ass-hole}}.
 * Mistreatment Induced Betrayal: Played Straight and Inverted on her part.
 * In the first-half of her route where she, Lute and a small company of soldiers trek into the Demon Woods which is said to be home to monsters, demonic creatures, and followers of the Hallowed Power. Her soldiers were so terrified of the rumors surrounding them (and the reputation that ALL prior expeditions into the forest ended with everyone dying) that they constantly questioned continuing the mission. It doesn't take long for them to get royally fed up with Isis's bitchiness (trying to force a scared person to stay somewhere while threatening them tends to not make one popular). Isis, {{spoiler|although a world-class angry bitch in her own right initially, she had decent reason to be this way given her shitty fiance had recently said some downright cruel things to her that put her in a very self-destructive state of mind}}. That during the first night out, they flat out abandoned her and Lute alone in the woods either out of a combination of fear and spite.
 * Furthermore, in her own route, toward the start of it, Motaire says some very cruel things to her, such as telling her that he didn't value her much less feel anything toward her except that he wanted to call off their engagement upon her return... IF she returned. Over the course of her route, she develops feelings for and then falls in love with Lute, who not only stayed with her on the mission when everyone else left, but saved her life in multiple ways AND treated her far better than anyone else, especially Motaire. Thus it's no surprise that at the end when {{spoiler|the Prime Minister tries to order her to execute Lute simply because he was supposedly (and he actually IS, but still) a hallowed demon, she instead goes to warn Lute and the two of them flee the kingdom together}}.
 * Then, during the Harem Route where Lute had been accused of treason by the Prime Minister and sentenced to death from a crime he didn't commit. When approached by Motaire; who was among the first to eagerly flat out invest in Lute's guilt in the deed. She gave him a slap in the face and a well-deserved verbal middle finger after all the abuse he put her through during their initial nuptials; what with him being a cheating bastard in spite of him supposed to being her fiance, a tool of a man motivated by vanity and an all around self absorbed nitwit who cannot see obvious truths over his own ego. All this on top of jailing the man she came to respect, admire, and love most? In all honesty it was kinda asked for.

All this on top of jailing the man she came to respect, admire, and love most? In all honesty it was kinda asked for.


 * No Good Deed Goes Unpunished: Zigzagged somewhat. In her route, she runs into some problems when she {{spoiler|gets stung by a Sexipede and later attacked by the Guardian Tree. Both incidents end up having her exposed to powerful aphrodisiac-esque substances that require irregular treatments to cure them. The Sexipede sting required Lute to grope and milk her breasts, and the Guardian Tree drove her so wild with lust that she ended up giving up her Virginity to Lute. During the heat of the moment, she was actually pretty into it, but the second they finished both times, she was FURIOUS, and had it not been for a few interruptions each time}}, she would have very likely killed Lute.
 * Outlaw Couple: {{spoiler|In her route's epilogue, she and Lute were forced to flee the Kingdom of Edelland since his identity as a demon is revealed, so they cast off their pasts as knights to live modestly in isolation deep in the countryside. After a year of this, Isis took the leap to propose to Lute... during sex. He said yes obviously. In fact, he was going to propose to her soon anyway, except he had been saving up to buy a ring for her.]] She just wound up beating him to it. The ceremony itself was just them and a priest.}}
 * Quiet Desperation: Poor Isis has this happen to her a lot. {{spoiler|In her route, after getting a brutal Reason You Suck Speech from Motaire, she's left silently weeping about how all she had wanted was for him to just hold her in his arms, but he wouldn't even do THAT for her. Later in her route, it takes on a more comedic twist when she winds up under the influence of a Sexipede sting and later the Guardian Tree's sap, she's so aroused she loses control of herself, even at the cost of her virginity. In Luceria's route's ending, it was hinted that she had fallen in love with Lute by the end, but since he married Luceria, she was left crying at the wedding over her missed chance. In the Harem route, this doesn't exactly come up, unless you count her whispering about wanting to be with Lute}}.
 * The anime adaptation goes a bit closer to how things played out in her route. In that, she ends up {{spoiler|under the influence of an aphrodisiac and the H-scene that follows seems to mix in elements of the scenes from her route. That said, this trope applies to when they start out since she tries to quietly deal with it herself, but when Lute asks her what's wrong, she loses control.}}
 * Rags to Riches/Rags to Royalty: Isis' family was originally nobles from another country that defected to Edelland. All of her other siblings died of the plague, and her father became a prefect to make ends meet. Her father was also the one who helped set her up in an arranged marriage/engagement to Motaire with the idea being that marrying him would mean she was marrying into wealth. She also entered the Royal Knight's Academy and graduated 2nd highest in her class overall and the top female graduate in the history of the academy. By that point, she was basically set for life... Or so you'd think, except that {{spoiler|Motaire wasn't attracted to her at all for some reason, so he mistreated and cheated on her, even making it clear that he would likely call off the engagement at some point, since it was his right to do so. Also, her achievements as a Royal Knight's Academy graduate too came with problems for her since the other royal knights, including her commanders spoke of and even tried to cop feels of her breasts}} which made things difficult for her... The trope more or less comes to fruition thanks to Lute in 2 routes:
 * First off, {{spoiler|despite her having her own route, it actually inverts this trope, because she and Lute end up becoming fugitives by the end and are forced to flee the kingdom, thanks to the Prime Minister. From then on they live modestly deep in the countryside of another nation. However, if you want to get technical about it, then technically, Isis marrying Lute in the route means she had married the king of all demons since Lute is a half-human half-inccubus, but neither of them knew that for sure, and couldn't care less anyway}}.
 * The 2 routes that actually DO see things pay off, are {{spoiler|Luceria's and the Harem route. In both of those routes, she takes on the job of becoming Lute's personal bodyguard. Lute in those routes becomes the High Commander, and later the King. Therefore, her status as a knight definitely went up. Especially in the Harem route where she actually becomes a member of (King) Lute's harem of wives/lovers}}.
 * Ready for Lovemaking: Happens to her several times:
 * Firstly, in {{spoiler|her own route, it happens when she gets stung by a Sexipede, then when she gets exposed to the sap of the Guardian Tree (which causes her to forsaking her Virginity), and then later in the route, she stealthily lures Lute to have sex with her as she was bathing in the river, and then one more time the next day under the excuse of wanting to "conquer their weak points" together}}.
 * In the {{spoiler|Harem Route, she seemingly drops hints at a few points that she would be interested, but it never goes anywhere during the route's events. However, in the epilogue, she becomes one of Lute's wives/lovers and it's implied that they are having sex every day as often as they can. As soon as he wakes up, during their morning bath, during meals, when they're on duty together, exercise, celebrating anniversaries (ANY excuse), and of course at the end of each night}}.
 * Lastly is the anime adaptation where she {{spoiler|ends up ingesting a powerful aphrodisiac that Shamsiel had meant for Lute. She had tried to fight off her urges, but quickly succumbed to them and practically threw herself at Lute}}.
 * Road Trip Romance: Her route is this. Combined with elements of rescue romance.
 * Reason You Suck Speech: She gives a few, and gets a few. {{spoiler|Motaire delivers most if not ALL of them to her. Including a very brutal one at the start of her route. However, she turns around and gives him a few good ones during her's and the Harem route.}}
 * Rescue Sex: Happens to her in a more literal sense {{spoiler|twice}} in her route. The first time was after she was {{spoiler|stung by a sexipede}}, and Lute was trying to... {{spoiler|extract the venom from her breasts to save her life.}} The second time is after she gets {{spoiler|molested by the Guardian tree's vines, and the sap makes her so aroused that she gives Lute her virginity. She is very angry immediately following both cases.}}
 * Sex Face Turn: In the {{spoiler|Anime Adaptation}}, she is shown to be {{spoiler|working under orders for the Prime Minister instead of Motaire or Emeralia who don't appear at all. For most of her times shown, she is rather unhappy having to be around Lute, but then she drinks wine laced with a strong aphrodisiac from Shamsiel and next thing we see, she is literally hunched over Lute on the bed begging him to make love to her. He obliges of course, and then the next time we see her is following Lute's victory over Gladys in a chess duel. There, she is shown sitting beside him, pouring wine for him, and giggling happily while looking at him}}.
 * {{spoiler|It's arguable whether this happened in her route of the Visual novel since she wasn't actually evil, so it was more of her coming around to loving him over Motaire rather than her turning from good to evil. Even then, it wasn't the sex that actually led her to choose Lute either, but it sure did cement her transformation of character}}.
 * Sexless Marriage: Arranged marriage to Motaire, for her part, she would be happy if they could make it work, hell, she would be happy if he would only hold her. He on the other hand, {{spoiler|cheats on her with at least 2 other girls. She knows about them, and thought that after getting engaged, he may stop fooling around. He doesn't.}}
 * She's Got Legs: They pretty much all do, but her legs are especially noticeable.
 * {{spoiler|Sleeps with Everyone but You}}: There are 2 cases of this for Isis: {{spoiler|1st is her fiance Motaire. They were engaged in an arranged marriage for who knows how long, but before and during that time, Motaire was sleeping around with other women, especially his groupies, Aristera and Droit. Never once did he even touch Isis. He says it was because he was never attracted to her in any way as a woman. Eventually, she dumps him in favor of Lute in her, Luceria's, and the Harem Routes}}. In the {{spoiler|Harem}} Route in particular is the 2nd case of this for her. {{spoiler|During the full course of the story, Lute has sex with literally every other female character introduced on-screen at least once (even Aristera and Droit together, but just once) except for Isis. Even though she had fallen in love with him by the end, she never quite seizes the opportunities and remains a virgin to the end. (A fact that Shamsiel knowingly teases her about when they actually meet and talk.) That being said, by the time of the epilogue to the Harem Route (the canon ending), a year has passed and she has become one of Lute's harem of lovers. In her particular case, it's said that anytime she and Lute were on duty alone, they'd basically spend the whole time having sex, and that's on top of having sex pretty much every day anyway, so by then she had looooooong since given her virginity to Lute... off-screen}}.
 * So Beautiful It's a Curse: She says that the Royal Guard is pretty much a "man's world", because all members are men aside from her, and they (even their commanding officer, but never Motaire) are always talking about her breasts or trying to cop a feel. She wonders if it would have been better if they were smaller, but Lute tells her that they suit her. To which she playfully calls him a perv.
 * Suck Out the Poison: {{spoiler|Lute does this to her, despite her protests, when she is stung by a sexipede, and again... sort of... After she gets exposed to the sap of the Guardian Tree}}.
 * Survivor Guilt: She has a bad case of it in her own route initially. See Death Seeker or Despair Event Horizon above.
 * Talking in Your Sleep: She does this twice in her own route. {{spoiler|First is after she gets the antidote for her fever from Lute. The way she spoke, Lute assumed she was referring to Motaire about his cheating on her. The second time came a day or so later when she had fallen asleep while keeping watch for the night, she called Lute a pervert, so he was about to prank her by splashing water onto her face, but then she thanked him in her sleep, so he let her sleep.}}
 * Talking in Bed: {{spoiler|Does this with Lute after spending the afternoon "training to overcome each others' weaknesses". They talked about their training results, as well as her admiration for Gladys Wackenheim of the rebel army, her family's past and her decision to call off her arranged marriage to Motaire}}.
 * Teacher-Student Romance: Somewhat in {{spoiler|her's and the Harem}} route, where she teaches {{spoiler|swordplay to Lute.}} {{spoiler|It isn't why she falls in love with him, but it does help develop their bond.}}
 * {{spoiler|Tenchi Solution}}: {{spoiler|She manages to get her own singular route and ending where she ends up together with Lute, but the True Canon ending is the Harem Ending. In it, Lute marries Shamsiel, Roxanne, and Princess Luceria. As for Isis, Gladys, and Emeralia, he doesn't marry them, but they act as though they basically are}}.
 * Took a Level in Kindness: Her jerkass attitude get less and less abrasive towards Lute as he proves his worth.
 * Token Wholesome: Though not all chaste, her default costume exposes the less of her skin of all female characters, with Emeralia coming in close second, thanks to body stocking covering much of her body and only really the upper part of her beasts being shown.
 * Tsundere: In her or the {{spoiler|harem}} route, she starts out flat out despising him, but through the course of the story, she eventually warms up to him, and becomes this for a little while, but then moves to openly loving him.
 * {{spoiler|Victim Falls For Rapist}}: Now hold on, I know what that sounds like, but let me explain: {{spoiler|technically speaking, it happens in her route. When she is stung by a Sexipede, Lute ends up having to squeeze and grope her breasts to get the venom out. That was the first time any man had seen, much less touched her bare breasts. She was outraged. Later on, she gets captured and exposed to the sap of the Guardian Tree, which acts as a very powerful aphrodisiac. This causes her to abandon all reason, despite Lute attempting to calm her down by talking, they wind up having sex, which costs her her virginity. Afterward, she was furious at what happened, and even attempted to kill Lute, but was interrupted. As time goes on, she comes to love Lute, but not because they had sex that time or anything. She did occasionally make a point of calling him a molester or pervert, but it was more in a joking/teasing manner}}.
 * When It All Began: {{spoiler|Lute reveals to Isis that he developed his large breasts fetish upon meeting her back at the Royal Knight's Academy. It led him to asking her out many times during their training in the Royal Knight's Academy, but back then, she turned him down every single time. Interestingly, until he met her, Lute was told by his mother to never touch others with his hands ESPECIALLY women, so he hadn't thought of it UNTIL meeting her}}.
 * When She Smiles: When she finally lets a genuine smile show, it's very pretty.
 * You Must Be Cold: {{spoiler|In her route, after Lute is able to cure her fever, she rests for the next day. All the while Lute keeps tending to her, but by that night, he was starting to grow tired. He starts to doze off, but then he feels something on his shoulders. He wakes up and realizes a cape had been placed on him (by Isis). They talk and she seems to be recovering fine, so he fixes her some dinner, and afterward she returns to sleeping, but before she does, she hands the cape to him again so he can keep warm}}.
 * Zettai Ryouiki: Type B - Over-the-Knees with tights underneath and boots.

Gladys Von Wackenheim
Her father was the best royal knight in the kingdom, but he defected to a rebel movement which she took over after he passed away. It's said that her skills are unmatched in both swordplay and chess. Since her father had always wanted a son, she referred to herself as such. She likes men with a sense of humor, but hates skirt-chasers. "Voiced by: Yuki Sakata (JP)"


 * Action Girlfriend: Should the situation call for it, she is second to none in swordplay..
 * Authority Equals Asskicking: She took over the rebel armies after her father passed away, and is widely regarded as the best swordsman in the kingdom, if not the world.
 * Badass Cape: See her image? Complete with cool shoulder armor.
 * Badass Damsel Zigzagged, . Later on,.
 * Benevolent Boss: It's mentioned many times that her subordinates all look up to and respect her, and her actions support this such as It is also noted that this trait was shared by her father before her as the previous rebel leader, and it is for this reason that they
 * Berserk Button: Go ahead, mock or threaten Lute in front of her. Or worse yet, try to actually kill Lute.
 * Be Yourself: Both ways. Lute does this for her when they first meet,.
 * Big Damn Heroes:.
 * Big Sister Mentor: She was this to Princess Luceria, that is... Until . However,.
 * Bodyguard Crush: Not in the same way as
 * Brutal Honesty: Once she falls for Lute, she says or does whatever she wants around him, and she doesn't care who else is around. She even pulls this on Motaire, by revealing that back when he used to be her pupil, she knew he had lusted for her body,.
 * The Cameo: She and many of the characters appear on posters and merchandise in the anime adaptation of "Mankitsu Happening". It's kind of funny when you realize said images are supposedly decorating the walls of a regular manga shop, NOT an adult shop or anything like that.
 * Cannot Spit It Out: She admits that she had admired Lute from the start, but it isn't until he finally that she declares herself to be.
 * The Chessmaster: In both a literal and figurative sense. For the literal, As for figuratively,
 * Combat Stilettos: Her iron boots have high heels, but they never seem to slow her down or hinder her in any way. In fact, she might be the fastest runner even with them on.
 * Comically Missing the Point: ;
 * Cool Big Sis: Not by blood, but Gladys was like this with Princess Luceria, which is really nice considering how few people she was allowed to come in contact with growing up). One could also possibly say this about Motaire, though he was more of a pupil.
 * Covert Pervert: Initially, but after, the "covert" part goes out the window.
 * Dark and Troubled Past:
 * Death Glare: When she gets mad, it's said her eyes are so piercing they could cut glass! If you are on the wrong end of her death glare, chances are... You're seconds away from death. What do you think happened to them for their trouble?
 * Detached Sleeves: They're pretty close to being Opera Gloves, except that they don't extend to her hands.
 * : Zigzagged..
 * Divided We Fall:.

 * : . To be fair,
 * Erotic Eating:.
 * Face Death with Dignity: In both the anime and visual novel,.
 * : It was part of a plan, begun.
 * Fantastic Racism:.
 * Follow in My Footsteps: Her father was thought to be the greatest knight of his generation, even after defecting to take lead of the Rebel movement, he was still seen as the best. When he passed away, she took over leading the rebels, and her renown and skill as a knight rivaled if not surpassed that of her father's.
 * Four-Star Badass: She's a nigh-unstoppable mix of brains, wisdom, speed, skill, and beauty. However, she's still vulnerable to special cases of extremely good luck, . Still, she is held in high regard by all in the kingdom, if not world, just as her father before her and technically speaking they were both the highest ranking leaders of the rebellion in Vunderbalt..
 * Girls Need Role Models: A tough case to be honest. (And yes, she's a female character in a fantasy nukige game, but hear me out.) Let's see... Well, she's the daughter of the former most skilled and all-around best knight in the kingdom (if not world), but she refers to herself as though she's his "son" to the point that only those who've met her directly or know her name are aware of her being a woman. Her attire is quite revealing (though it might be a tactical choice). However, there's more to her than that: She's a master swordsman and chess player. She trained Motaire in both, and he graduated top of his class at the Royal Knight's Academy, and even HE still admits to never beating her in either (a fact she claims is partially thanks to him ogling her cleavage, but also thanks to her being so awesome, so perhaps her outfit does work strategically afterall). She's very smart, wise, and skilled in political and military matters as well, what with her taking over the rebellion forces in Vunderbalt after her father died. She's also widely respected across the continent to the point that both Isis and Princess Luceria look up to her. Isis had never met her, but wanted to be like her, and in the end Isis was able to work hard to become the 2nd highest ranked graduate of her class behind only Motaire, AND she was the top female graduate to date!.
 * Genre Savvy: She's long since known the Prime Minister has it out for her (just as he had hated her father before her), so she knows to be on guard when it comes to him..

 * Gondor Calls For Aid: In the Harem Route, after Lute is seeks out the aid of.
 * Graceful Ladies Like Purple: Much of her attire is purple, as is her hair. It isn't used the same as with Roxanne, but Gladys is certainly a graceful woman in her own ways.
 * Graceful Loser: As mentioned in Face Death with Dignity,.
 * Hot-Blooded: She is even more this than General Felzen. She is extremely passionate in (pretty much) everything she does or says, and if you piss her off, you're probably too busy being dead to read this.
 * If You Ever Do Anything to Hurt Him...: Once she declares her eternal love and unyielding devotion to him. She tells this to just about everyone around her. If you even speak about Lute negatively and she hears of it, you WILL suffer her wrath..
 * I Just Want My Beloved to Be Happy:
 * Iron Lady: Considering how people from all sides of the political and social spectrums in their kingdom all revere her, she is definitely this.

 * Order Versus Chaos: The reason she and her father had defected?.
 * Pick on Someone Your Own Size:.
 * Raised as the Opposite Gender: Her father had always wanted a son, so for a long time she referred to herself as such. Only those who actually knew her were aware of her actually being a woman, and even then she addressed herself in a masculine manner. Although you likely wouldn't know that by looking at her outfit. Also, it actually DOES work to her advantage, since Lute was completely unaware of her real identity until she reveals it directly to him.
 * Red Eyes, Take Warning: Her eyes are piercing and deep red. If you piss her off, you're basically seconds away from death.
 * Royals Who Actually Do Something:.
 * Samus Is a Girl: She refers to herself in a masculine manner to the point that many people thought she was the Duke of Wackenheim's son. However, those who actually know her or have encountered her before know otherwise. However, with how she dresses, one may wonder if its a case of hiding in plain sight either way for her since she made it all the way into Bustenhalter multiple times without getting caught.
 * Stern Teacher: Toward Motaire when he was a child, she taught him swordplay and chess. It actually paid off since he graduated top of his class at the Knight Academy. {Too bad it gave him an inflated ego, and it was stated during the events of the story, she could still best him in both chess and swordplay, which as she flat out said, he could have learned more from her if he hadn't spent so much time ogling her breasts.
 * Storming the Castle:
 * Stripperiffic: Her outfit is this, but whether she did this intentionally to help her in combat or not is anyone's guess. We at least know it worked on Motaire and (somewhat on) Lute.

Roxanne De Desir
Wife of the Prefect of Boan. Originally from Shoenburg (like Lute), she lived there until she was 5. She likes hearing things about the capital. She dislikes the cold, lonely nights in Boan. "Voiced by: Itou Hasumi aka Kazuha (JP)"


 * Absolute Cleavage: Hers are 2nd biggest in the entire story aside from Princess Luceria.
 * The Cameo: She and many of the characters appear on posters and merchandise in the anime adaptation of "Mankitsu Happening". It's kind of funny when you realize said images are supposedly decorating the walls of a regular manga shop, NOT an adult shop or anything like that.
 * Cannot Spit It Out: Starts out like this due to her being married and all...
 * Covert Pervert: Considering how lonely she is, and the nature of her unique breast condition, it's no wonder she fell for Lute so quickly and eagerly.
 * Dark and Troubled Past: Her family were only minor nobles, and the man who would end up becoming her husband only sought her hand out of desperation to try and attain any sort of a rise in political or economic status, but when it turned out she had little to offer... He had tried to get a divorce, but she wouldn't allow it, because she wanted to do her best to be a good and devoted wife for her part. So he forces her to sleep in a separate room alone on the opposite end of their castle, he has servants deal with her "condition" in his stead, and it was said that they never once even consummated the marriage. Instead, he took to cheating on her with "smaller", younger women.
 * Driven to Suicide: According to her, before Lute's arrival, she was alone and full of regret. To the point of considering suicide. thankfully, Lute manages to bring her out of this, and she is able to live happily.
 * Family Honor: She may be the daughter of minor nobles, but she isn't about to lose her pride to anyone. Not even her cheating, conspiring, greedy asshole of a husband the Prefect of Boan.
 * : Engages in this in her route after Lute manages to
 * Gondor Calls For Aid: In the Harem Route, when Lute is . Roxanne's role in this !
 * Graceful Ladies Like Purple: Her dress is purple and certainly gives a sense of regal elegance...
 * I Just Want My Beloved to Be Happy: Happens in the routes aside from her own and the
 * I Will Protect Him: Gender flipped with her agreeing to.
 * Just the Way You Are: Lute tells her this is why he loves her.
 * Killed Mid-Sentence:.
 * Love Hungry: Her husband, the Prefect of Boan doesn't care for her at all. She's isolated and lonely, so it's understandable that she takes to Lute so easily even without being slipped aphrodisiacs by her husband in an effort to make her cheat on him.
 * 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's lactating, she's married (to the shrimp-d_ck idiot that is the Prefect of Boan), and she's in right the age range for it. . 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 pretty much flat-out saying that she wants to have them. She'd even be willing to have them with her crappy Prefect husband, but the good/bad news for her is he never even touches her. However...
 * Non Action Heroine: She has no combat or magical skills,and she's well aware of it, hence her role is entirely nonviolent, but the emphasis here is on non action, as she's still quite skilled at use of personal guile.
 * Nice Girl: She's a very soft spoken and gentle person. Even though she's treated poorly by her husband, she still tries to remain a noble and caring wife.
 * Opera Gloves: They're every close to being Detached Sleeves, except that they extend to her hands and are similar to Fingerless Gloves.
 * Ojou: She's from a lesser noble family, and married to the Prefect of Boan. They aren't royalty, but they are living better than probably anyone else in Boan by the time the story starts.
 * : Also, to be fair...
 * Proper Lady: She certainly is one. Then again, her wanting to be one also causes her a great deal of misery. She had married the Prefect of Boan, because he had sought so hard for her. After they married, he realized she and her family had little wealth and political status to offer to him, so he tried to divorce her. However, she refused to consent to divorcing him, because she decided that she would honor her family and herself by being known as a proper woman and wife. Hence, she stayed married to him even after he did everything to isolate her from him. Then one day...She met Lute.
 * Put on a Bus:.
 * Quiet Desperation: Her husband and Madoise had been conspiring against her by secretly lacing all her meals with Aphrodisiacs while Lute was gone for a few days. Upon his return, he reports to the Prefect and delivers a message to him, the second he leaves their room, she runs up to Lute, takes him by the hand, and leads him to her bedroom. Coitus Ensues, and thanks to Shamsiel keeping the Prefect and Madoise locked in their room, it ends up being Coitus Uninterruptus.
 * Royal Blood: Somewhat. She's the daughter of minor nobility, and it was for that reason that the Prefect of Boan had sought her hand so desperately, but when it turned out her family had little to no assets, they were stuck in a miserable marriage together..
 * Sexless Marriage: Her marriage to the Prefect of Boan was this. Despite every effort she made to try and make things work between them, he never even sleeps in the same wing of their castle much less consummate their marriage. On top of that, it's hinted at that he cheats on her, because he only likes younger women.
 * She's Got Legs: She sure does, and they are quite healthy.
 * Silk Hiding Steel: She's not trained in combat, but she's a fighter nonetheless...She realizes that her husband, the Prefect of Boan had only married her because he thought doing so would grant him wealth or help boost his political standings. However, she and her family have little to offer of either, so he had tried to divorce her. Unfortunately for him, she wasn't about to back down due to her desire to be a known as a proper wife, so she refused to let him divorce her. He took to forcing her to stay in a separate room on the opposite side of their castle and even started cheating on her with loli girls, but still she stayed bound to him in misery. Eventually, she meets Lute and through a series of events, he frees her spirit in just about every way. Prefect Irboyne eventually dies, and Lute has to return to the capital to handle matters following her husband's attempted treason against the King. She promises to wait for him no matter what...
 * So Beautiful It's a Curse: More like "So Beautiful It's a Waste!". She's very kind and devoted, as well as really sexy (her breasts even lactate despite never having a baby or being pregnant). However, given how her husband sees her as ugly and calls her fat like a cow... It seems like such a waste and a curse for her. Of course, that's coming from a creepy cheating lolicon, so his opinion doesn't say much.
 * Spanner in the Works: In the Harem Route, Roxanne makes an unannounced visit to Shoenburg
 * Talking in Bed:
 * Their First Time: The visual novel hints at the Prefect and she never actually consummating their marriage, despite her desiring children and being a devoted wife, he completely disregards her and ignores her, as well as cheats on her, SO one can speculate whether her first time with Lute was her first time ever.
 * Ugly Guy, Hot Wife: Her husband is pretty underwhelming, while she is straight up drop-dead gorgeous! And no, they most definitely did NOT marry for love. He was desperately trying to use marriage to her to up his political status.
 * Unwitting Pawn: Her 1st husband, the Prefect of Boan had sought her hand in marriage thinking it would get him prestige or riches, but she had little of either, so he wanted a divorce, but she refused to do so willingly. Thus, he wanted to trap her in an instance of infidelity to him. To that end, he had his subordinate give both Lute and her wine with aphrodisiacs in order to get them to copulate. They do, and he was right there waiting for them to catch them in the act. It backfires when he has a heart-attack and Shamsiel presents documents to Lute that tied the Prefect to a conspiracy with Prince Bobon to ignite a revolt.
 * Values Dissonance: Teeeeechnically she and Lute DO commit acts of infidelity together, since she cheats on her husband, the Prefect of Boan, but at the same time, her husband is also cheating on her and was actually TRYING to get her to cheat on him so he could force her to divorce him (he was even cheating on her with a loli). In the end, her and Lute's relationship comes off as more sympathetic than not, so how right or wrong it actually is is up to you.
 * Wife-Basher Basher: Not so much physically, but she's a fighter nonetheless.
 * Your Cheating Heart: It goes both ways, because her husband the Prefect of Boan . While on the other hand, she ends up cheating on him with Lute, but it is played out more sympathetically, and at the same time, her husband
 * You Taste Delicious: At one point, she serves Lute coffee. He thinks it tastes bitter at first, but then she adds some milk, and he thinks it tastes way better thanks to her.
 * Wife-Basher Basher: Not so much physically, but she's a fighter nonetheless.
 * Your Cheating Heart: It goes both ways, because her husband the Prefect of Boan . While on the other hand, she ends up cheating on him with Lute, but it is played out more sympathetically, and at the same time, her husband
 * You Taste Delicious: At one point, she serves Lute coffee. He thinks it tastes bitter at first, but then she adds some milk, and he thinks it tastes way better thanks to her.

Lady Emeralia
The Prime Minister's closest subordinate, and private tutor to Princess Luceria. "Voiced by: Asai Harumi aka Momozono Kaoru (JP)"


 * Absolute Cleavage: And how.
 * Ambiguously Bi: A comment of her about admiring the way the princess have sex implies she is also attracted to her.
 * All Women Are Lustful: Zigzagged.
 * Be a Whore to Get Your Man: Emeralia kinda invokes this on . In the way that,.
 * Blatant Lies: Emeralia can fool others pretty well, but Lute sees right through her for the most part, and tries to get her to open up to her true feelings which even she was impressed by. However, that doesn't stop him from diving headfirst into a few setups she had arranged. If not for him having a few secrets of his own, he likely wouldn't have overcome her tricks.
 * Brainwashed and Crazy: She even tries to.
 * Cannot Spit It Out: After.
 * Cleavage Window: See her image.
 * Covert Pervert: 95% of the time she has the same stoic look on her face, and in fact she hates men.
 * Daddy's Little Villain: Tragically so...
 * Deadpan Snarker: See the picture of her? 95% of the time, she has that same deadpan look on her face. That said, she has no snark nor humor to go with it. She just speaks when necessary and only about what is necessary,.
 * Dark and Troubled Past: Hers is perhaps the saddest of them all...
 * : With all she's been through, and all she is forced to put up with, it's not much of a surprise. In . But it becomes FAR clearer in.
 * Does Not Like Men: She openly admits this. However, she doesn't like when other people bring it, like the Prime Minister eventually does.
 * : Zigzagged..
 * Emotionless Girl: Zigzagged. Of course she has emotions, but thanks to the utter hell she endured being raised (and "raised" is used very very lightly in this case) by, she was basically forced to suppress her emotions as a way of coping with what he puts her through and forces her to do for him..

Luceria von Diamante
Princess of the Edelland Kingdom. She is Prince Bobon's step-sister. "Voiced by: Fujimora Yukina aka Konoha (JP)"


 * Absolute Cleavage: Look at her picture. Seems about right.
 * Attractiveness Isolation: She's a princess, she's very pretty, but her contact with others is kept to a minimum.
 * Beauty Equals Goodness: She's drop-dead gorgeous, and as sweet as can be.
 * Be a Whore to Get Your Man: In her route, from her lessons in . This leads to her . Done somewhat in the, because.
 * Berserk Button:
 * Cannot Spit It Out: She starts out very shy and bashful around Lute., she starts being more forward with others.
 * Covert Pervert: To the point that even she didn't know about it.
 * : Unintentionally and unwittingly for her part..
 * Dark and Troubled Past: She may a princess, but having to grow up alongside Prince Bobon must have been hell. That's not all though, because
 * Damsel in Distress: Played with.
 * Fetish Fuel Station Attendant: One look at her image and you don't even need to think about which fetish she embodies.
 * Generation Xerox: A offhand remark by the king says she is as sexually forward as her mother before her.
 * Gilded Cage: She sort of lives in one initially. She turns out fine, but then it becomes literally this during.
 * : Engages in this.
 * Gondor Calls For Aid: In the Harem Route, when Lute is . Princess Luceria's role is !
 * Good Is Not Dumb:.
 * : Unbeknownst to her,.
 * I Will Protect Him: Gender flipped with her.
 * Just a Flesh Wound:.
 * Killed to Uphold the Masquerade:.
 * Leitmotif: She's the only character who genuinely HAS one just for her. It's even named "Princess Theme".
 * Living Aphrodisiac:.
 * Looping Lines: Most of the voiced female characters (at least those who have visuals) have at least 1 H-scene..
 * Love At First Sight: While the princess didn't know who Lute was and vice versa when they first met. She admitted to feeling a sudden something for him as he asked for directions since he was late to getting his graduation certificate. This is evident when requesting the new commander to be lenient with Gladys and after which as she asked Emeralia and Rubin Von Bernstein when he'd return.
 * Marshmallow Hell: She is the gatekeeper to the biggest case of this..
 * More Deadly Than the Male: Between her and her brother, she's actually the more dangerous of the 2. Except that she isn't evil or a spoiled man-child idiot like him, so unless you're her enemy, you've got nothing to worry about. Having said that,.
 * Nice Girl: It's not even fair to try and compare her to her brother in terms of how nice they are. She's as kind, gentle, and sweet as can be. He's a spoiled rotten, pompous, fat, ugly, vulgar, and dimwitted jackass. All that being said, even SHE recognizes how unfit her brother is to be King or have any real authority in any way.
 * Opera Gloves: They're pretty close to being Detached Sleeves, except that they extend to her hands and are similar to Fingerless Gloves.
 * Princess Classic: Surprisingly enough, for a fantasy nukige h-game visual novel, you'll be shocked to know how much she both is and IS NOT this. Sure, she IS a princess: She was born one, dresses as one, is timid/shy, very kind to others, and many consider her the World's Most Beautiful Woman (look at her image and there's no need to guess why). But at the same time, she actually is NOT a Princess Classic simultaneously for a number of reasons:
 * Princesses Prefer Pink: See her image.
 * The Quiet One: At first, she's very timid and shy thanks to her sheltered upbringing..
 * Royal Blood: Her father is the King of Edelland. Her mother the late queen, was his . This means Luceria is.
 * Spoiled Sweet: She's as nice as can be to pretty much anybody she meets. She grew up very sheltered,.

King Hagel von Diamante I
The King of Edelland. He is the father of Prince Bobon and Princess Luceria. He lives in the royal palace in Shoenburg, the capital city of Edelland. During the time of the story, he has been trying to initiate political reform from a system of (allegedly greedy) nobles ruling territories to that of a Knighted Bureaucracy (a meritocracy) where skilled, educated, and loyal knights would control territories instead. "Voiced by: Atsuya Takizawa (JP)"


 * Berserk Button: People making inappropriate and rude comments about those of higher positions than themselves, leading him to yell at them.
 * Big Good: Is this overall in the Visual Novel and anime, trying to being positive changes to his kingdom.
 * Catch Phrase: Of sorts. Nearly every conversation he has in the visual novel, starts with him saying something along the lines of "Wooooooah!"
 * Death Glare: Gives a pretty chilling one for such a generally affable individual, but he is more than capable of doing so when someone reeeaaaaly has it coming *cough!*Motaire*cough!*.
 * Evil Cannot Comprehend Good:.
 * Evil Is Deathly Cold: Inverted. When Lute first meets with the King AND the Prime Minister in the same place, he compares how it feels to be in their presence. The Prime Minister he felt, gave him a cold and dark feeling, while the King seemed to light up the room with positive feelings.
 * Genre Savvy:
 * Good Is Not Dumb: While coming off as a bit naive, the good king is the furthest thing from a simpleton. Being avid enough to admit he jumped the gun while trying to impart knights as the new upper echelon over the nobility in his kingdom which resulted in its civil strife. Knowing full on that his firstborn son was Unfit for Greatness straight from the getgo. Also being (somewhat) well aware that Rubin was up to no good while in his council..
 * Good Is Not Soft: A prime example being how he banned Motaire from the castles inner sanctum for a time. Having grown more than a little fed up with his disrespectfully self-obsessed ravings not only shows his more humble side but demonstrates he's not afraid to dole out a good tongue lashing when it is well and truly deserved.
 * The Good King: All things considered, he's a good king, a reasonable man, and he was making considerable progress in improving things for his kingdom's citizens.
 * Interspecies Romance:.
 * Just a Few Feet Away: His guards were
 * : When it happens, he's right in the middle of.
 * Killed Off For Real: Sad, but true..
 * Like a Son to Me: Hagle made no secret of it. But his admiration for Lute Hende extended well beyond simply being an exemplary knight and loyal vassal in his eyes, The King generally respected and adored him for more than his ability to work wonders through sheer happenstance. So much so that Hagel took it vary harshly when Motaire insulted Lute within earshot of him while bragging about his own accomplishments. More than anyone (save for Shamsiel), he had the most faith in his abilities as his paladin and a person.
 * Nice Guy: Apart from Lute, the King is just about the nicest man in the Visual Novel and Anime.
 * Overprotective Dad:.
 * Open-Minded Parent: In Luceria's route,.
 * Parental Substitute: In Luceria and the Harem routes, he becomes like a father to Lute.
 * : Zigzagged.
 * Reasonable Authority Figure: His subjects utterly adore him (for the most part).
 * Reluctant Ruler: Mixed with Reluctant Retiree. The loss of his 2nd wife: Luceria's biological mother. Took a toll on him, then add on the problems with installing the knight's meritocracy system (including a rebellion headed by his former best general and knight), plus the matter of . Why? There's the . Also, the lack of.
 * Royals Who Actually Do Something: It's said that he was actively trying to make the transition from having Nobles in charge of territories, to a meritocracy with knights in place instead, although others assumed was too quick to implement it at first.
 * Sacrificial Lion:
 * Treachery Cover-Up He does it . ..
 * Unwitting Pawn Zig-zagged. According to.
 * Where Did We Go Wrong?: With Prince Bobon. It's an absolute mystery trying to figure how someone as rotten as Prince Bobon is related to him or Princess Luceria who turned out fine.
 * Sacrificial Lion:

General Felzen
General of Edelland's military. "Voiced by: Yukimitsu Koshi (JP)"


 * Achilles' Heel: Like a great many people of certain status, General Felzen's main character flaw is his pride. The stinging narcissistic ego of the elite initially blinded him to the underlying capability of the failing graduate whom everybody disavowed as a blemish on the academy record. Too late did he and his fellow generals realize how tactile & talented Lute really was when faced with Gladys' ploy to have them all dismissed.
 * Actually Pretty Funny: Following Lute's, everyone is shocked by Lute's seemingly impossible feat. Including , whom Felzen and Lute encounter upon their return to . Lute makes a reference to a.
 * Animal Motifs: It's a little hard to name something precise. Looking at his armor you see green scales, so you might say dragons, alligators, turtles, or... Probably any green reptile that can rip somebody's head off is fitting for him.
 * Badass Cape: His comes complete with badass shoulder armor.
 * Bait and Switch:
 * Bare Knuckle: He's skilled in many fields including hand to hand combat, and could take pretty much anybody with or without a weapon.
 * Benevolent Boss: His troops all respect him, and for good reason. That being said, if you upset him or insult him or his comrades, be prepared to face his wrath (and usually fists).
 * Big Brother Instinct: He acts like this.
 * Big Damn Heroes: His moment comes in.
 * Big Good:.
 * Cool Old Guy:.
 * Cluster F-Bomb: Felzen isn't one to mince words. Even to the King, he's said to be very blatant with his opinions, but then, that's something the King actually respects him for.
 * Digging Yourself Deeper: When Wone Qwanne, is accused of overstepping his authority when he.
 * Drill Sergeant Nasty: He's a good commanding officer, and his troops would follow him anywhere. However, if you do something to upset him, he'll get in your face, and give you a good taste of his fist.
 * Easily Forgiven: Lute puts a remarkable amount of faith and trust in him and the other generals. Something even THEY think he's a bit odd for doing..
 * Fiery Redhead: Hot-blooded temper? Check. Outgoing attitude? Check. Red hair? Check.
 * Genre Savvy: He knows from experience that the Prime Minister is not to be trusted,.
 * Good Scars, Evil Scars: Good, obviously. He has one right across his face just below his eyes and over his nose. Helps with showing off how he's more of an aggressive, hands-on kind of military leader.
 * Gondor Calls For Aid: In the Harem Route, when Lute is . At the same time though, Felzen,.
 * Heel Face Turn: While not a villain, he and the other 2 generals are fairly hard on Lute in the beginning.
 * Hot-Blooded: He is very passionate and forward with others. He doesn't hesitate to voice his opinion on things, and is very dangerous on a normal day, so suffice to say you don't want to piss him off.
 * Hidden Depths: At a glance, you probably just see him as another Drill Sergeant Nasty type of Hot-Blooded Fiery Redhead. And you know what? You're right... Sort of..
 * If You Ever Do Anything to Hurt Him Initially, he's one of the many who utterly HATES Lute,.
 * Jerkass: Of the 3 generals, Felzen is the most outspoken amongst them, which gives him a bad reputation among the nobles. He was liked by the King and late Queen, but the Prime Minister hates him, and had him removed from the capital at the first chance he could. . That said,.
 * Jerkass Realization: Takes a lot of time and endless infuriation on his part when Lute finds new and amazing ways of pissing Felzen and his fellow general off. But he soon comes to realize two things. A) Lute's not the hairbrained undesirable who flunked out of knight school he and countless other jerks labeled him as, (going so far as to deduce the fact that Prince Butthead actually did worse than him. Only getting out of dead last by someone rigging the grade system in his favor), and B) Motaire wasn't the elite paragon of the illustrious academy of future knights that he'd mistaken him for. That Skill without any real character may as well be the definition of disposable.
 * Jerk With a Heart of Gold: He's tough, he's loud, and he's very forward with everyone about his views this made it to where most of the noble class hate him, but his troops respect and trust him dearly..
 * Killed Mid-Sentence:.
 * Like a Badass Out of Hell: His men respect him, his enemies crap their pants and RUN FOR THE HILLS! Both are for good reasons: He's an excellent, though forthright and blunt, general. His combat and tactical prowess were only ever 2nd to the.
 * Like a Broken Record:.
 * Living Lie Detector: In regards to knowing the true character of Bobon and the Prime Minister. Plus after learning of the true persona Lute Hende truly has, Felzen knew full well that the very idea of the former killing the king was a boldfaced lie. Deducing that it was most likely some cockedup scheme perpetrated by the Prime Minister who'd been vying for Baboon to inherit the throne since the Knight Academy.
 * Meaningful Name: His name means "Reliable" and "Enthusiasm". Guess what? He's a trustworthy and efficient general and a very forward person who would never back down from a fight.
 * Mighty Glacier: He's one hell of tough knight, but he's still a bit up in years, so he's not as fast as Gladys or the other knights. That said, if he catches you, he can and will kick your ass!
 * The Neidermeyer: Coming off as a boisterous, loudmouthed, insubordinate and foul tempered braggart who constantly listed the MC's numerous shortcomings while acting like he's without fault. He and the other two old bastards conspired against their former student turned commanding officer at the behaste of their Treacherous Advisor; Glaum Zoin. Thankfully he grew out of this near the middle to end of the story.
 * No-Holds-Barred Beatdown: He delivers several to when he acts disrespectful toward Lute.
 * Old Soldier: He is this, but is the youngest of the 3 generals..
 * Parental Substitute:.
 * Quick Draw Decision:.
 * Royals Who Actually Do Something: He's brash, outspoken, and courageous. He garners great respect from his troops, and is never one to stay behind when there's a battle.
 * Sand in My Eyes:.
 * Took a Level In Badass:.
 * Took a Level In Kindness: At the start of the story, he's easily one of the biggest or rather loudest characters to openly bash Lute for his low graduating scores from the Royal Knight's Academy..
 * Unlikely Hero: He and many others thought that Lute was just the lowest scum of the Royal Knights, so it came to a complete shock later on when he manages to pull off some extremely difficult feats..
 * Victory Gloating:.
 * Work Hard, Play Hard: Felzen is a very aggressive man. He's forthright, stubborn, and has a temper. If he is your friend and you piss him off, he won't mix words and call you out. If you piss him off further, he's likely to kick your ass or kill you. If you're his enemy and you piss him off, you best start running! However, when he is happy or celebrating, he doesn't hold back much there either}}.

General Zant
General of Edelland. "Voiced by: Ranmaru (JP)"


 * Achilles' Heel: As with Felzen before him, Zant's lack of character perception tends to blind him from the greater qualities within people who're not of his elite ideal. As with a great many before him, Lute Hende was little more than an oversight he'd berate and ignore over someone whose more flash than actual substance like Motaire at first. Even despite the sound logic of the perceived failure's reasons for keeping him and his coworkers over the aide who isn't a fighter, it still takes some sound convincing from the younger of the three to pierce his egocentric judgements.
 * Badass Cape: His is white with gold trim.
 * Big Good: Not as prominently as Felzen, but he eventually becomes a supporter of Lute as well, even personally intervening when Motaire tries to attack him at a formal ball.
 * Digging Yourself Deeper: When One Coin, is accused of overstepping his authority when he arranged and accepted a duel between Gladys and Lute, he points out how he had information linking the 3 generals to hiring assassins to attack Lute. Zant is the first to slip up and basically prove their guilt in doing so.
 * Femme Fatale: Invokes this trope as an warning to Lute. The latter's internal narration speculates if it happened before with him.
 * Genre Savvy: He warns Lute about getting involved with women at the celebratory party in his honor. It is implied that he had been taken advantage of a woman before, so he spoke from experience.
 * Gold Digger:.
 * Gondor Calls For Aid: In the Harem Route, when Lute is . At the same time though, Zant, !
 * Heel Face Turn: He isn't evil, but he and the other generals were very mean to Lute at the beginning of the story.
 * Ignored Epiphany: When his fellow general points out how abstaining from dismissing them after the treacherous Guam Loin revealed their act of insubordination to their commanding officer was foolish. Zant is initially adamant in holding to that claim even when Both his junior and senior come to grips with the wisdom in his action, acknowledging that their whistle blower wasn't at all fighter and therefore unsuitable to defend the castle. He eventually grows out of his stuffed shirt opinion.
 * Jerkass: He and the other two generals were pretty harsh on Lute at the start of the story..
 * Jerkass Has a Point:.
 * Jerk with a Heart of Gold: He cares very much for the well being of the kingdom, but treats Lute like utter crap.
 * The Neidermeyer: Along with Felzen and Schlamm; Only a bit more biting and narcissistic in regards to the vaunted Knight Academy he/they teach at and towards it's (supposed) greatest failure. So much so that he ended up blurting out his guilt in they're hiring of assassins against Lute Hende.
 * Old Soldier: Of the three generals, he is implied to be the middle one in terms of age..
 * Parental Substitute:.
 * Royals Who Actually Do Something: He's not as physical as Felzen, but when Motaire tries to attack Lute a formal ball, he's immediately on it and has Motaire thrown out.
 * Tender Tears: Both he and Schlamm cried at Lute's wedding/coronation as king to his newfound queen in Luceria.

General Schlamm
A general of Edellbard, and was a graduate from the very first class at the Royal Knight's Academy. "Voiced by: Dobu Rokuro (JP)"


 * Achilles' Heel: Like his fellow generals Felzen and Zant, Schlamm's oversized oversight of personal ability clouds his judgement of people. Made especially worse given how particularly old school this guy is. Like most everyone in story, possibly more so given his stone age high standards, he boasts the most backbitten condescending worldview on personal worth. Especially in regards to the hero of the story. Despite this during the Gladys Arc. Schlamm, unlike Zant, has enough sense to admit when he and others were wrong about character depth as his junior points out before the fateful duel.
 * Badass Cape: Wears a white cape with a golden trim.
 * Big Good: Becomes one as part of a Big Damn Heroes moment towards the end of the Harem Route.
 * Brutal Honesty: Tends to give away his true opinions about things after the other generals are finished. Even when that could easily lead to his doom.
 * Genre Savvy: In a world of demons, magic, political strife, and rebellions, one would need to be this to have lasted as long as he has.
 * Gondor Calls For Aid: In the Harem Route, when Lute is . At the same time though, Schlamm, !
 * Grumpy Old Man: He wasn't fond of Lute to begin with. He wasn't impressed with any of that year's graduates from the Knight's Academy either..
 * Heel Face Turn: He isn't evil, but he's very rude to most people apart from his fellow generals.
 * Heel Realization: Again, while not evil; see above. He's a big enough man to admit when his opinions of a first impression have been entirely wrong, siding with General Felzen when the latter realizes (Finally!) that Lute wasn't the failure the academy grading system,, had labeled him as. Lamenting how the three were too late to see the truth of their commanders real capability.
 * Jerkass: He is very harsh on the youngsters these days. Not even Motaire and Isis' accomplishments at the Royal Knight's Academy were enough to impress him, so that means he thought VERY little of Lute who was the bottom scoring graduate of the class..
 * Jerk with a Heart of Gold: He is loyal to the kingdom, but he thinks very little of the younger generations, especially Lute..
 * The Neidermeyer: While not as outspoken as his fellow Generals; Schlamm possesses the most condescending of tones in regards to those they deem less than dirt.
 * Not So Stoic: At the end of the game when he and his fellow generals sat and ate with King Lute in his quarters, Schlamm would talk up a storm with the lot of them about current events in Boan as well as about old times from a year ago.
 * Old Windbag: He is not very impressed with youngsters these days..
 * Old Soldier: He is the oldest of the 3 generals, and was a graduate from the very first class at the Royal Knight's Academy. He doesn't think highly of the latest generation of knights,.
 * Parental Substitute:.
 * Royals Who Actually Do Something: ..
 * Tender Tears: He and Zant cried at the coronation and wedding of Lute as he married princess, then crowned queen Luceria.
 * The Bus Came Back: Of the three generals, he is the one to be around the least..

Aristera
One of Motaire's groupies. "Voiced by: Haruna Ren aka Jinbo Tomoe (JP)"


 * Absolute Cleavage: As seen in the image.
 * Be a Whore to Get Your Man: She and Droit's approaches to getting with Motaire..
 * Combat Stilettos: She and Droit both wear them, yet they can both run very fast even while wearing them.
 * Gold Digger: She and Aristera seem to go after and cling to whoever is the most popular, powerful, and/or wealthy in their midst. With the exception being Bobon, who had attempted to force them into it.
 * Everyone Has Standards: She may be a gold digger, but even she refuses to let Bobon..., touch her.
 * Escape Artist: She and Droit seem to be able to come and go in the castle as they please, but not because they're given permission though..
 * Fragile Speedster: She and Droit aren't trained in combat at all, but they can outrun Isis, even while wearing high heels.
 * Heel Face Revolving Door: Played with and Inverted. Like her fellow cabaret dancer, Aristera seems to like playing musical chairs over where her loyalties lay. First it was with Motaire who was both the top graduate of his class as well as heir to the Platine estate. Then it was to Lute who started out on the bottom rung of things only to eventually rise through the ranks at rapid pace and outclass the asshat she was slutting up too in the beginning, . Only to dump the later after him being wrongfully accused of killing the king and branded a death row traitor, she and her friend Droit sheepishly apologizing to their former meal ticket. Then going back to Lute again after the later is rescued from the conspiracy surrounding him and is eventually crowned King of Edelland.
 * Power Is Sexy: She and Droit fawn over whoever is the biggest deal around them. At first, it's.
 * Stripperific: Her outfit brings to mind belly dancers.

Droit
One of Motaire's groupies. "Voiced by: Yuzuki Sachi aka Kondou Yuuki (JP)"


 * Absolute Cleavage: As seen in the image.
 * Be a Whore to Get Your Man: She and Aristera's approaches to getting with Motaire..
 * Combat Stilettos: She and Aristera both wear them, yet they can both run very fast even while wearing them.
 * Gold Digger: She and Aristera seem to go after and cling to whoever is the most popular, powerful, and/or wealthy in their midst. With the exception being Bobon, who had attempted to force them into it.
 * Everyone Has Standards: She and Aristera may be gold diggers, but neither of them were willing to let Bobon, touch them.
 * Escape Artist: She and Aristera seem to be able to come and go in the castle as they please, but not because they're given permission though..
 * Fragile Speedster: She and Droit aren't trained in combat at all, but they can outrun Isis, even while wearing high heels.
 * Heel Face Revolving Door: Played with and Inverted. As with her bosom buddy Aristera, Droit tends to hopscotch with whomever has the greatest sociological pull at the time. Her main subject at first was Motaire; all around unlikable popular guy with major amounts of karmic kickability abound. That is, of coarse, until Lute came along. Same guy whom she and her slut friend didn't even bother to remember on their first meeting, that is until he began to outshine his senior with his many impressive deeds. And again like her compatriot, end up leaving the fallen hero when she and her both; like every other idiot in the kingdom, bought into that BS line where the local hero killed the king. Kissing up to Motaire after they come crawling back to him, only to return to our heroes good graces after his dramatic rescue and whirlwind coronation as the New King.
 * Power Is Sexy: She and Aristera fawn over whoever is the biggest deal around them. At first, it's.
 * Stripperiffic: Her outfit is similar to what you'd expect an exotic dancer to wear, although not as much as Aristera's.

Motaire De Platine
Top of graduate of the Royal Knight academy class that Lute was in. "Voiced by: Aiko Takeda (JP)"


 * Abusive Spouse: Though they're engaged, he is straight up abusive towards Isis, and all she has ever done is her absolute damnedest to try and make things WORK between them. In Isis' route he mocks her for being scared to go on a mission where literally ALL previous parties to venture out on said mission were never heard from again. She starts to tear up from this, and he mocks her further. She even seems as though she wanted to spend her "last night together" with him before going out on the mission (which one could possibly interpret as her even being willing to have sex with him) but he turns her down and tells her it being their last night makes no difference to him. He tells her that if she dies on the mission then that was all she was worth, and then he declares his intention to break off their engagement regardless of her survival or not... Right before the icing on the misery cake: His groupies show up and he ditches Isis to go with them (which includes cheating on her).
 * By the end of her route, he doesn't tone it down either in that . Oh, and on top of all of THAT abuse, he even gets physically abusive towards her.
 * : As far as he's concerned, . He's just following orders. He's just too blinded by his own pride and ego  to realize his actions  aren't as good as he thinks..
 * Bare Your Midriff: A Rare Male Example. His armor stops at his chest, exposing his midriff.
 * Bastard Boyfriend: Or rather, fiance. To Isis. He treats her horribly, despite all her efforts to try and get things to work.
 * The Beautiful Elite: Pretty on the eyes? Check, wealthy to an extreme? Check? Head of his class at the prestegious academy for paladines? I believe his personal presentation is self-explanitory
 * Beauty Equals Goodness: Inverted. See Jerkass.
 * Berserk Button: Lute's existence annoys him. Lute being a part of his class in the Knight's Academy irritates him..
 * The Bully: He's one toward Lute (both during and following their time at the Royal Knight's Academy together). He's also a jerk to his fiance, Isis. In all honesty he's not even all that beloved by other soldiers in the platoon either. Even the generals and King Hagel wonder what was so elite about him given his jerkass performances.
 * Casanova Wannabe: He thinks his status, reputation, and family are his keys to pursuing just about any woman he wants..
 * Covert Pervert:.
 * Compensating for Something: Unlike Lute, Motaire loves pointing out his accomplishments and who he is to other people, his family is responsible for inventing the bra in their world, so he's extremely wealthy....
 * Complaining About People You Don't Like: You could make a drinking game out of how many times he whines about Lute. You'd also make a mint from pennies and dimes accumulated hearing how many people can't stand his ass.
 * Complaining About Rescues They Don't Like: See Don't You Dare Pity Me! below. Also, in regards to.
 * Dark Is Not Evil: His attire makes him look like trouble, but the issue is actually zigzagged depending on the route. . Suffice to say, it took a while to get there.
 * : Almost..
 * Digging Yourself Deeper: To a hilarious extent during Lucaria's chapter. When Motaire overheard King Hagel's asking Lute to teach his only daughter swordplay, not only did the former get up in arms. He outright burst into the private space without consent to chew out his senior officer in front of the King, bad move, one made worse by his continued denouncing of said lord and the Kingdom's favorite to his face. Something which Hagel takes great offense too; offenses compounded by a poorly worded explanation by the latter regarding Gladys and Burstenhalter which came off like he was denouncing Felzen's competence as a leader. Ending in the spoiled ass getting kicked out of the castle for a time. One cannot help but find satisfaction in that; considering his excessive pride had been the source of contention for a lot of people in story.
 * Don't You Dare Pity Me!: He isn't fond of Lute on a normal day, but when bad things happen to him, BECAUSE of Lute (he blames Lute, but it's more because of his own ego).
 * Drowning My Sorrows: Following, there is a banquet held that night to celebrate. While attending, Motaire is furious at the mere idea of.
 * Entitled Bastard: His ego leads him to believe he is far superior than most, especially in the case of Lute..
 * Entitled to Have You: His attitude as far as the women he actually seeks out. He tries to get with Roxanne (even while her husband is still around), Luceria the princess, and even his former teacher: Gladys.
 * Expy: He is pretty much Gaston with him being an arrogant Jerk Jock with his air-headed groupies almost constantly around, as well as his major entitlement complex.
 * Favouritism Flip Flop:, everyone thought he was the very best of the best. What with him graduating top of his class at the Royal Knight's Academy, and him being the heir to the richest family in the kingdom if not among the richest in the world at the time (since they invented the bra). However, in at least 3 routes, this changes to varied extents. . In . Then, lastly is the . From then on,.
 * Foil: To Lute, which is pretty obvious from the start.
 * Good Adultery, Bad Adultery:.
 * : It's buried... deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, DEEP, beneath his giant cocky self-absorbed, thickheaded, ego}}. But he actually IS a good man, it just takes a LOT for it to finally surface. A combination of.
 * Gullible Lemming: Technically speaking, he IS trying to protect the kingdom... In his own overly-prideful, arrogant, dumbass ways. However, that doesn't stop him from following almost anything that comes from the Prime Minister as legitimate orders or truth. Such as, . Perhaps his crowning moment of gullibility comes when.
 * Handsome Lech: Cheats on his fiance, Isis, pretty much to her face.
 * Historical In-Joke: His family is said to have been responsible for inventing the bra in their universe. Suffice to say his family is among the richest in the world during the story.
 * Humiliation Conga: Mostly his own fault thanks to his ego.
 * : It's complicated. Very complicated....
 * It's All About Me: he sponges off his reputation from graduating top of his class at the Knight's Academy, as well as the fact that his family invented the bra.
 * Jerkass: He has an enormous ego. He had graduated at the top of his class at the Knight Academy, which he loves to tell people. . This all on top of how lowly he sees and treats Lute, and.
 * Kick the Dog: The way he treats Isis is appalling. He cheats on her (practically TO HER FACE). He ignores her, yells at her, mocks her, berates her, basically spits on every attempt she makes to try and make things work between them, and says things to her at one point that almost drive her to commit suicide (more than once). But perhaps one of the most twisted examples comes at the end of Isis' route when he.
 * Kick the Son of a Bitch: On the receiving end, regularly gets accosted by people he pisses off both directly and indirectly. Often told off by his superiors when he acts in rather disorderly conduct, ends up dumped by his two gold-digging groupies for a guy he wrote off as a failure, is eventually disengaged to his fiancé after Lute is imprisoned and slated to be executed, is summarily rewarded for his jealously driven persecution with relegation by the bastard king whom replaced his former liege. All of which he well and truly deserved, seeing as he was an egotistical rat and all around unfaithful husband to be who openly and often loudly boasted of his many accomplishments (except many of which weren't even his, he mooched off his fathers popularity more than he himself did anything worth a damn) to everybody who never cared to listen.
 * Manchild: What the knight academies supposed ace's personality boils down to. A full grown brat with an inflated sense of self-worth whom cannot stop bragging about greatness he never had. Narcissistic and vainglorious to the point of making even his former supporters & admirerers irate with his tantrums whenever Lute upstages him. This especially shows whenever he openly mocked or attempted to throttle the former in full view of people whom gave the failure turned celebrity more respect and praise than Motaire ever got.
 * Miles Gloriosus: Played with and inverted. He's a world class Jerkass who won't come off about how his father invented the bra and his family is loaded. And that bit about him going on about how he was the top graduate at the Knight Academy over and over and over again near every time he makes an entrance. But despite this he actually has the skills to back up his modesty, being the best chess player in the kingdom just under Gladys Vom Wakenheim. As well as a skilled swordsmen in his own right.
 * Mistreated Bride:.
 * : In the Harem route,.
 * Gondor Calls For Aid: In the Harem Route, when Lute is . Throughout this, Motaire actually !
 * No-Holds-Barred Beatdown: He ends up on the receiving end of one of these several times due to his pride and mistreatment of Lute.
 * Oblivious to Hints: It takes quite a bit to get through his ego to help him see his erred ways. That's why it wasn't really the hints that got through, but all the ass-kickings he brought upon himself that did it instead.
 * Pet The Dog: Now don't misunderstand, he treats Isis like utter garbage almost all the time, despite her best efforts to make a relationship work between them. . Unfortunately though,.
 * Really Gets Around: During the beginning, yes.
 * Reason You Suck Speech: He ends up on both ends of them. He constantly deals them out to Lute. You could make a drinking game of how many times he brings up Lute graduating last in their class, how he himself was the top of the class, and how he is SO much better than him in every way. Then, later on in story,  he ends up on the receiving end of several:.
 * Royal Blood: Not royal per say, but his family invented the bra, and given how big a deal that is, it's safe to say his family will never have to worry about money. It is also his status as a Royal Knight that gives his family prestige.
 * Sexual Extortion: Who is using who, when it comes to Aristera and Droit being with him?.
 * Sexual Karma: He cheats on Isis all the time, but it comes back on him wheeeeeen... Even more karmic, is.
 * Small Name, Big Ego: His family invented the bra, and he was the top graduate from his class at the Knight's Academy. His ego however, is so inflated that it's almost like he thinks Motaire invented the bra and opened the royal Knight's Academy himself. Even the castle guard of Boan think he and he alone assumes to hold up all of Edelland.
 * Spoiled Brat: His family invented the bra, and thus are likely among the richest people in the world at that time, so it isn't much of a surprise that he became this.
 * The Ace: In theory, as the top graduate of the Knight Academy, and he indeed gets the kind of respect someone would get from it. In practice, not so much. Zant implies the reason behind of that it's an emphasis on combat ability on the Academy, what means Motaire is good in combat but fails at thinking.
 * The Friend Nobody Likes: The treatment he gets compared to Lute later in the game, and somewhat in the beginning too. He's such an insufferable blunderbuss with his boasting of perfection and family name that many soldiers, townsfolk and even some of the top brass cannot tolerate him (at least later in story).
 * Took A Level In Badass: He starts out as the top graduate of the Royal Knight's Academy, but.
 * Took a Level in Jerkass: It happens briefly in two chapters, And again towards the true ending of the game, where Motaire; having become so blinded by petty jealousy, immediately believes the one guy in story who lacks either a murderous or conniving bone in his entire body is the prime suspect for the King's murder. He did nothing beyond that to warrant most everybody denouncing him as a traitor and a failure; but boy did that not stop everyone within arms reach speaking their mindset. Bad enough he was a spoiled asshat who boasted superiority while more often than not proving otherwise, but one can guess doing nothing at all while an innocent man was slated to die to uphold a lie was the final nail in the coffin for his already dwindling popularity.
 * Took a Level In Kindness:,.
 * Unfit for Greatness: Thanks to his shortsightedness, huge over-inflated ego and utter disrespect/disregard toward others. Lots of people feel like he's not fit to be leader of an army, let alone a ruler..
 * Unlikely Hero: He may have graduated first from his class of Royal Knights, but people began catching onto his issues especially with his attitude. By the end of the, it seemed more like he was just going to spend all his time feeling sorry for himself rather than actually contribute anything to the story's end,.
 * Unwitting Pawn: To the Prime Minister.
 * Upper Class Twit: Played with and ultimately subverted (surprisingly). Although unambiguously a stand out individual produced by the royal knight academy whom is unanimously hailed as a jack of all trades by his superiors and the like. Most people whom really got to know the heir to Plantine goldmine couldn't stand this guys freaking guts. In some respects, Motaire was as much of a pompous, vain and conceited asshole as Bobon or the Prime Minister . A great many people likening him to a haughty jerkass whom acts like he does all the work around the kingdom, his fiancé Isis regularly has to pry him off of every beautiful lady he comes across or outright deal with severe disrespect in the form of his tomcat ways and harsh verbal abuse, the way he treats the protagonist alone shows what a condescending self absorbed prick he well and truly is; seeing as he won't shut up about individual comparisons between himself and Lute, such egocentricity reaches a fever pitch later on where even those whom revered him as the best of the best steadily become irate at his whining and ranting about how a no class loser outflanked him as the most magnanimously amazing individual in Edelland. Gladys was livid enough to clobber the bratty pretty boy after he assaulted her one true love and Felzen toke to wholoping him several times whenever he insulted the new favorite of the kingdom, General Zant went so far thump him before kicking Plantine out of a lavish ball when he attempted to throttle Lute in a jealous rage, King Hagel was grossly offended by his excessive egotism and disrespect towards one whom was his majesty considered a miracle worker and even Princess Luceria likened him to a complete idiot for letting the love of her life be executed on trumped up charges. It's not until around the point when said story reaches its crescendo, as well as an aformentioned string of embarrassingly funny incidents that humbled him, did he eventually grow out of this conceited mindset and develop both as a person as well as a dependable knight.

Devils
Remnants of the Hallowed Demon's living within the Girupon Woods of Edelland.


 * Eloquent in His Native Tongue: The Devil tribe speak in a forign demon tongue that only others of their race can properly comprehend. Even half-demons like Lute.
 * Flying Brick: A demon can fly using magic even if he is very heavy.
 * Guardian Entity: These guys serve as the last line of defense against would be usurpers and tyrannical types seeking to steal the hallowed power from the Demon King's Temple. But they cannot venture anywhere near there on their own to prevent it's theft.
 * Dark Is Good: Though feared and reviled by a great many individuals of Edeland with their high religiofascist xenobia. The Devils within the enchanted forest are honestly a lot more likable and empathetic than most every human in story who Lute meets, of coarse that's assuming you have demon lineage within you or are of the devil's kin yourself.
 * Exactly What It Says on the Tin: None among the demon's living within the woods have individual names.
 * Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep": Be they coming to the player in singles or clans, he/she or they simply refers to them as Demons.
 * Fluffy the Terrible: Judging by their appearance, you'd think they'd be less imposing than they are. But looks can be deceiving.
 * Good All Along: While deeply despised by the majority of humans in the kingdom of Edeland, it turns out the Devil Tribe exists solely to protect and defend the throne of the Demon King from would be trespassers seeking to usurp absolute ultimate power from it's keep. It is they're sacred duty to hold out until their former king's successor comes to reclaim his birthright.
 * Hidden Depths: When most people see these guys, they liken them to monsters due to their appearance and based on speculation born of rumor. In truth however they view a great many humans with the same sentiment, based on their self-hating ways..
 * Hidden Elf Village: played with, since their kind were slated for extermination by greedy and callous humans within Edeland. The Demon tribe have sequestered themselves within a heavily enchanted forest which leads into the domain of the demon world.
 * Horny Devils: it's in the name, they are devils after all.
 * Humans Are Cthulhu: Interestingly enough, the devil's perceive humanity in the same breadth as humans perceive them to be monsters. So much so that they likened the worst example of their kind; Prince Bobon to a satanic archetype of some kind. Fearing for themselves and the world if a whoreson like him obtained the power acquitted by sitting upon the Demon King's Throne.
 * Jerk with a Heart of Gold: While they have no qualms about killing and eating humans when the need arises. Said devils who inhabit the woods are actually kind, courteous and loyal to each other and to the scion of their fallen lord king. Plus, to be fair, humans hunted their kind down and nearly murdered them all out of bigotry and racist fear. Not to mention said jerkass species keeps sending soldiers into their territory without consent, basically on what levels out to a practical suicide mission on a regular basis. So not like the grunts and their moronic bosses didn't ask for it.
 * Rocket Jump: Isis once mistook their vast leaps for flying, but given the way they soar through the air every time they vanish into the treetops, you never know.
 * Flight: Subverted, as they are said to indeed possess the ability to flight by the story's protagonist.
 * The Unintelligible: Everything they say is incomprehensible to the person listening. Even the dialogue that comes up in the word box on scree is just a bunch of PS controller button symbols. Lute Hende, due to his decadency of the Hallow Power, can miraculously understand as well as hold commerce with them.
 * Undying Loyalty: The demon race of the Girupon Woods are all loyal servants to the Hallowed Demon clan lead by the late demon king, Lute Hende's father.
 * You Gotta Have Pink Hair: Or at least pink and purple with these guys.

Prince Bobon von Diamante
Firstborn son of King Hagel I. Graduated from the Royal Knight's Academy along with Lute, Motaire, and Isis. "Voiced by: Masato Sakurai (JP)"


 * A God I Am: How he views himself, regardless of the route he thinks he can and should do whatever he wants..
 * Ain't Too Proud to Beg: Twice in fact. Towards the end of Roxanne's story play when his misdeeds are outed for all to see, he attempts to bribe his old classmate with a selection of all the most beautiful women he could offer. As if Lute ever needed his help in scoring hot mates. Again near the end of the game when both he and his villain support are outed as the meticulous traitors they well and truly are. After Bernstein betrayed him to his death; Bobon is left at the mercy of Felzen, wherein he pleads with the latter to spare his life in exchange for reinstating him as Captain of the Guard again. The former rebuff's his empty promise siting how his father knew his own son to be a treacherous little failure whom was unsuitable for the throne and off's him anyway.
 * Animal Motifs: Pigs, cows, and baboons (his crown resembles the red butt, so it might be a subtle way for the creators portraying him as a butt-head).
 * Asshole Victim: In Iris' route, . In the Harem route.
 * Authority in Name Only: He thinks he should be the next king simply because he is son of the present King. He's too stupid to actually know how to rule a country. All he cares about is ordering people around however he wants.
 * Bad Boss: He is very abusive towards his subordinates, which only work for him out of loyalty to his father or to gain some interest from
 * Batman Gambit: Falls for at least two over the course of the story. The first was a combination mix of this and an Impersonation Gambit when Lute tricks him into thinking he's the Prefect of Boan and that they would start a rebellion together in Boan. Lute was actually just playing to Bobon's ego to get him to sign a document that would prove he was committing treason..
 * Body Horror: He's a fat, pompous, idiot to begin with, but some of the things that happen to him are pretty gruesome: In . Lastly,.
 * Card-Carrying Villain: This fatass can't be reasoned with to try and change his self-centered and greedy ways. Thankfully though, he's stupid enough to be easily manipulated if you play to his ego.
 * Casanova Wannabe: He thinks his status, reputation, and family are his keys to not just pursuing, but actually taking anything he wants and (disturbingly) any woman he wants all for himself.
 * Catch Phrase: His way of laughing makes him seem like a cow. "Moohoo~"
 * Complete Monster: Figuratively and literally, depending on the route.
 * He conspired to revolt against his father, the King of Edelland, while in Boan along with the Prefect of Boan..
 * Death by Sex:.
 * Dirty Coward: This fat pig thinks himself the greatest person ever born. He's cocky, greedy, and abusive to everything and everyone around him. He's a big talker when he has power, but falls apart easily when threatened..
 * Drunk with Power: It takes no genius to see just what kind of man, what kind of leader Prince Blubber'd turn out to be the very minuet he ascended the seat of power. Even the guy whom everyone wrote off as riffraff was smart enough to know that the bastard wannabe king would abuse his authority for small and stupid reasons.
 * Entitled Bastard: See Entitled to Have You and Jerkass below or Complete Monster above.
 * Entitled to Have You: He feels that being king or having absolute authority and power gives him a free pass to do whatever he wants, whenever he wants, and whoever he wants... Including flat out saying he wanted to make Isis, Roxanne, Gladys, Aristera, and Droit have sex with him and become his sex slaves even though pretty much all were spoken for.
 * Evil Prince: Or he tries to be, he's certainly depraved but no less inept in the deed.As a prince he tried to start a revolt with the Prefect of Boan.
 * Evil Is Petty: He trolls people he doesn't like, supports nobody or anything aside from him wanting to be in charge, humiliates people on a whim, and has people banished or sentenced to death if he thinks they are "cooler" than he is.
 * Fat Bastard: He's even carrying a big lollipop with dozens more in a saddle bag to put an exclamation point on his gluttony!
 * Foolish Sibling, Responsible Sibling: He's the fool (big time), to his sister Luceria's responsible.
 * From Nobody to Nightmare: He may have been born a prince, but Bobon was NEVER going to sit on the throne so long as his father had anything to say about it. He is cowardly, unskilled, stupid, and spoiled rotten, so on his own he's as much of a threat as a dirty diaper..
 * Go Through Me: When he tries to harm or condemn someone, others generally step in to stop him..
 * Hate Sink: Out of all the douchebaggy characters in the Kyonyuuverse, Baboon is the most universally reviled character anybody could have the ultimate displeasure of ever coming to meet. He's sleazy, lazy, arrogant, selfish, idiotic, abrasive, loathsome and conniving, everyone in series hated the Fat Bastard. Even the Prime Minister cannot stand this flabby moron for his excess and entitlement, and Lute whose friendly to everyone. Especially to the kinds of people whom generally don't deserve it, finds him unsettlingly repulsive; so much so that he actually dreaded the day when Prince Butthead would become king. This coming from a guy whose a Friend to All Living Things? That really states something about a person's character.
 * High Hopes, Zero Talent: He wants to be king, but has nothing that would actually make him qualified to be one apart from being the Prince by birth, which he feels is the only qualification he needs.
 * Horny Devil:.
 * In-Series Nickname: Most people mockingly call him "Baboon", "Cow", "Porky"..
 * Inadequate Inheritor: 2 times he inherits something, that wasn't meant for him.
 * In Shamsiel's route,
 * In the Harem route,.
 * Impersonation Gambit: He falls for a very convincing one pulled off by Lute in Boan, and it leads to his plot being exposed and he is imprisoned and punished for it.
 * It's All About Me: His sense of entitlement is boundless. He doesn't care for anything or anyone aside from himself.
 * Jerkass: To the point that even most of the other villains have to grind their teeth just to put up with him.
 * Karmic Death: Happens 3 times in the story, and each is more karmic than the last...
 * In Isis' route, we never see it, but Lute and Isis.
 * In route,.
 * In the route,.
 * [[Lack of Empathy]:] Never shows an ounce of humanity to anyone.
 * Large Ham: In the worst ways. Humorously though, the other characters tend to call him names like baboon, cow, or pig.
 * Loser Son of Loser Dad: Played with and subverted. Prince Buttbrain's father was a magnanimous leader who practically radiated charisma and heart, while he on the other hand was a self-absorbed, unimportant Upperclass Twit whom the king, in his infinite wisdom. Saw as glaringly unsuitable for the throne or the reigns of any kind of real power. That said, his father wasn't perfect either, while Hagel the I was in no way stupid he wasn't very keen on reading the atmosphere either. Which is what led to the problematic civil strife and conspiracy issues in his country to begin with, as well as
 * Man Child: He is actually older than he looks, around the same age as Lute, but acts much like a child.
 * Mean Boss:.
 * Never My Fault: Invoked, when he and the ruling power of Boan were exposed in their duplicity and betrayal. He immediately tries to assert his innocence despite evidence to the contrary.
 * Nice Job Fixing It, Villain: In Shamsiel's route, he . If you think about it, Bobon also inadvertently helped in other parts of the story as well....
 * No One Could Survive That:.
 * Not Good with Rejection: How does he respond to King Hagel's barring him as a successor? He plots rebellion with the Prefect of Boan.
 * Obviously Evil: One look at his image and you knew. For anyone his age (at least 18+) to be walking around like that he must have a few screws loose, which is exactly right since he's a Psychopathic Manchild.
 * Out with a Bang:.
 * One-Winged Angel: In Shamsiel's route, he takes on the form of a . On the funny side.
 * Pride Before a Fall: From the very first time he shows up in the story, and all the way to the very end, NOBODY likes this guy. In or out of story. Let's look at how he meets his end in each route:
 * Prince Charmless: To the point he even resembles the Trope Namer.
 * Psychopathic Manchild: See his image. He's every bit as vain, pompous, and rotten to the core as he looks. If not moreso..
 * Quit Your Whining: He's a huge Manchild, and acts like a spoiled baby, much to others' annoyance when he whines over not getting his way.
 * Reason You Suck Speech: He tries to delve these out. His claim being that since he's a prince he is superior to everyone and is therefore above laws and is entitled to saying or doing whatever he wants. In actuality,
 * Royal Bastard: Of the whiny, bratty, dopey, undesirable variety. Born of two royalties yet found less than worthy to take up kingship, seeking to further incite riot and rebellion simply because daddy wouldn't name him successor only hammered the point home. Finally the vitiation's made when the shrieking bastard finally got his bottle put emphasis on his inevitably running the kingdom into the ground. Bobon's claims to royal prerogative, ineptitude while in leadership and all around doucheholiness, all it did was prove what an Inadequate Inheritor Prince Butthead well and truly was right up to the end of his pathetically short lived reign.
 * Royal Blood: Loved, hated or not. Prince Buttelf's heritage was still that of the highest royal lineage of two kingdoms, as we find out in the Gaiden Game.
 * Royal Brat: This. In. Spades. Born into royalty, he feels he is owed to anything and everything because of it. From the very air you breath to the very ground you walked on, every large breasted woman within his would be kingdom and most likely to the very thoughts he would allow you to think. It was any wonder why he was passed over as King Hagel's; his father, successor to the throne of Edelland.
 * Spanner in the Works: Ironically, he becomes this to the other villains' plans, partially due to his stupidity, and because he's so arrogant he frustrates any attempt to have him follow an Evil Plan, something that drives to annoyance.
 * Screw the Rules, I Make Them: He is ALL for people obeying every order, command, decision, law that HE comes up with... No matter how unreasonable or stupid, but he has zero regard for actually following any rules himself. He feels that if one makes the rules, one is above them and therefore NOT bound by them.
 * Sexual Extortion: In the worst of ways, this idiot blatantly wants to {use his power to do this to not just a any, but ALL women. Good news is... See Sexual Karma.
 * Scapegoat Creator: Tries to reassign blame on Lute and the late Prefect's attendant, Madoise. Making up the bupkis plea that he was framed..
 * Self-Deprecation: Prone to do that when Lute call him something, but tries to quickly correct himself when he realizes he had insulted himself.
 * Sexual Karma: His is very bad. He sees women as commodities. He actually LIKES the idea of forcing women, especially strong women (with large breasts) to not only submit to him, but he also wants them to cry for it. Suffice to say... he has it coming when.
 * Sissy Villain: This lard-ball is a total coward, completely unskilled (at anything), and SO spoiled, that the only way this fool is even close to a threat is . Otherwise?.
 * Small Name, Big Ego: Oh, Like you wouldn't believe. Just because he's the son of the King; being crowned prince by birth. Bobon thinks he's entitled to anything and everything in his fathers kingdom, including the throne and/or any woman he lays eyes upon. There was some small movement behind the scenes working to put him on as king, but given what a huge prick he is these supporters are largely unpopular in garnering follow through with their endeavours.
 * Spoiled Brat: Loves to act snooty and self-important, given most anything he ever wanted growing up, granted excuses by people of power for allowances, gaining a selfish and ugly mindset as a result. In short, Bobon is a rotten, conceited, fugly, useless, dumbass who makes you wonder how a guy like Hagel could produce such a lemming as this. He even makes Motaire seem like a nice guy by a huge comparison.
 * Speak Ill of the Dead: His own words for his Late Father; The Good King. Shows just how much of an ungrateful and undeserving Spoiled Brat he was when he finally got his crown.
 * Teeny Weenie: In route, he seizes.
 * Token Motivational Nemesis:, of all people is the one who feels he is this. The logic is that maybe by seeing how vile and repulsive someone like Bobon is, perhaps the rest of humanity would become inspired to be better than the sort of person he is.
 * Treacherous Advisor: In the, when
 * Treachery Cover-Up: When he had tried to spark a rebellion against his father, the king, in Boan with the Prefect, he is exposed and caught by Lute. There's a trial in the capital, but much of the information of the event is kept secret from the public by the king's orders so as to prevent people from wanting to rebel or go against or think less of the monarchy. In the end, Bobon is banished to Lingobard to live with his mother, the King's ex-1st wife. Lute was told to keep the matter a secret by the king, and the general public was led to believe that Bobon was merely visiting his mother, not being punished for something.
 * Troll: This fat pig LOVES having power over others. Hence why everyone with a brain knows he absolutely should NOT ever be trusted with any. He enjoys taunting and humiliating anyone and everyone he wants, and usually his reason for it is simply on a whim. He sees women as things he is entitled to have, take, use, and abuse any time he wants (regardless of their being spoken for much less their consent, which he actually ENJOYS them refusing since as he puts it he "likes making strong women cry"..
 * Tyrant Takes the Helm: Prince lard-ass was a stuck up, self-entitled bunghole with delusions of authority long before he was properly crowned in ceremony. {{spoiler|The second he got his hands on real power for a change, Baboon made it abundantly clear that everyone present and within the kingdom regardless would do as he said. If that's not an indicator to his motives then...
 * Used to Be a Sweet Kid: According to his cousin and fellow idiot noble; Argent De Bonn in the Gaiden series. Prince Baboon didn't turn rotten until his ambition for the throne got the better of him. Considering what an asshole he was in story, it's impossible to believe admittedly.
 * Unpopular Popular Character: Against all conceivable and inconceivable odds in story. There are some who're petitioning for him to become king despite how unworthy a candidate he is. {{spoiler|The minuet news gets out of his death after Lute is crowned Monarch of Edelland, the ruler of the neighboring kingdom of Lingobard declares open war on Lute's nation in retaliation.}}
 * What an Idiot!: He spends majority of his screentime being a complete bastard to literally EVERYONE, and expects that people would just let him get away with whatever he wanted without ever finally being pushed too far. It all comes back to bite him spectacularly:
 * {{spoiler|In the Harem Route, he thought he could force any woman he wanted to become his sex slave including Isis and Gladys. Guess who catches him when he's trying to flee for his life when his crimes are exposed}}?
 * {{spoiler|In the Harem Route, he thought firing General Felzen and relegating him simply because he "didn't like him" was a good idea. Later, when he is caught between Gladys and Felzen's swords, he pathetically tries to bribe Felzen for his life, even bringing up the fact that they'd known each other since he was a child. Felzen acknowledges that, along with a warning the king had given about how Bobon would bring ruin to the kingdom if he ever took the throne. Hence, Felzen executed him on the spot}}.
 * {{spoiler|Another stupid move he makes in the Harem Route is that when he and the Prime Minister caught Emeralia trying to free Lute, they don't execute them right then and there. Sure it works out for the good guys in the end, but think about it. All Lute did was play to Bobon's ego a tiny bit and the moron fell for it with ease}}.
 * {{spoiler|One last thing he did in the Harem Route, was his mistreatment of Motaire who had initially been more than happy to see Lute imprisoned and out of the spotlight, but Bobon thought it'd be fun to mock Motaire, force him to bow at his feet to humiliate him, and even trying to force himself on Motaire's groupies. It doesn't necessarily come back on Bobon himself, but it was partially why Motaire had a Mistreatment-Induced Betrayal against both Bobon AND the Prime Minister who Motaire even helped stop and execute in the end}}.
 * What do they See in Him?: Surprisingly enough, despite being universally loathed by just about everyone in and out of storyverse. Isis once stated that Bobon actually had supporters in the Kingdom of Edelland whom pushed for his ascension in the monarchy, despite his many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, MANY glaring oversites that stood against it. Thankfully, such a movement in his favor was never all that popular to begin with. So nothing came of it in the end.
 * Where Did We Go Wrong?: King Hagel is a good man and a caring father. It's said that his former queen was a noble and loving wife and mother. Princess Luceria turned out fine. What the hell happened with Bobon? Even Luceria (his sister) recognizes that her half brother is a selfish, greedy idiot who isn't fit to lead the kingdom.
 * Worthy Opponent: Inverted. Take the stupidest, weakest, and most cowardly character in this series and they'd likely either be Bobon himself OR they would be someone who could beat Bobon with only one hand. Literally, nobody likes him (as a person), and anyone who actually knows him, knows that he is not the least bit fit to rule anything or anyone, much less the entire kingdom. {{spoiler|HE was the one who actually should have graduated at the very lowest in his class at the Royal Knight's Academy instead of Lute, but the Prime Minister pulled some strings...}}
 * The Wrongful Heir to the Throne: In theory he is gonna be king in the future, but his selfishness and dumbness clearly makes him inadequate for that.
 * {{spoiler|Another stupid move he makes in the Harem Route is that when he and the Prime Minister caught Emeralia trying to free Lute, they don't execute them right then and there. Sure it works out for the good guys in the end, but think about it. All Lute did was play to Bobon's ego a tiny bit and the moron fell for it with ease}}.

Prefect Irboyne
The Prefect of Boan. He was a graduate of the Knight's Academy, and he was ranked dead-last in his class just like Lute. "Voiced by: Dobu Rokuro (JP)"


 * Asshole Victim: He had sought his wife's hand with great determination, but upon marrying her and learning of how little she had to offer in wealth or politics, he tries to divorce her, but is unable to do so. He begins isolating her and avoiding her, and even cheats on her with younger women. He also shows little regard for his subjects or anyone other than himself. So nobody really cares when you hear about him dying of a heart condition after trying to disgrace his wife.
 * Bad Boss: He utterly HATES his job, since he is essentially the laughing-stock of the political community of his country. He therefore, hoards all the best of anything he can get ahold of in Boan for himself. He also ignores and cheats on his wife, and even conspires with Prince Bobon to attempt a rebellion against the crown.
 * Big Bad: Of the Boan arc.
 * Chessmaster: He tries to be. He was trying to use Roxanne to regain some political credibility and wealth, but her family had little to offer. He tried to divorce her, but she refused, so he tried to manipulate her into cheating on him with Lute so that he could discredit and divorce her while keeping all the power he could steal from her, which would then be put toward revolting against the kingdom and siding with Prince Bobon. It fails, spectacularly.
 * Evil Cannot Comprehend Good: He can't understand Roxanne's desire to be a devoted wife, even if he treats her like crap.
 * Fallen Hero: Using the word "hero" quite loosely here. He had been a child of a minor (noble?) family, but had went into the Royal Knight's Academy to become a knight (whether he actually supported the meritocracy system or simply wanted to be a part of it at the time is unclear). However, he wound up graduating last in his class and was sent to Boan, and that in turn was seen as an insult to him since Boan is the most backwater part of the kingdom. He tried to get some wealth and political status through marriage to Roxanne, but her family had little to offer, so that failed too. Eventually it all led to him trying to start a rebellion against the king in support of prince Bobon who promised him power, wealth, and status if he did so. Lute at one point wonders if things had been different maybe he'd have ended up like him or vice versa.
 * Government Conspiracy:.
 * If I Can't Have You: Inverted. The Prefect wants nothing more than to be rid of Roxanne, so that he could apparently hook up with some loli girl he was cheating on her with, but since Roxanne won't consent to a divorce, he takes to isolating her and ignoring her as much as possible, as well as plotting against her to try and get her to cheat on him so that she will be executed and he will be rid of her.
 * Jerk with a Heart of Jerk: He hates his job, he hates where he is, he hates his wife, he hates his citizens, he hates the people who sent him where he is, and he makes little effort to hide it. He hardly does anything to actually improve his life through legitimate work, instead he hoards all the best of anything he can get his hands on in Boan for himself, he tried to marry into fortune and political gains, but Roxanne's family had little to offer of anything, plus he prefers loli girls anyway. He pretty much ignores his citizen's pleas for action against the Succubus that was terrorizing them, apart from trying to get them to shut up and leave him alone. He hated how the king (and his government) assigned him to Boan, which is considered the political exile/laughing-stock assignment of the kingdom, and this leads him to conspire with Prince Bobon to try and revolt against the king.
 * Karmic Death: While trying to set up his wife and Lute, he's brought down by a heart condition flaring up. (It was either a heart attack or stroke.) Up till then he had treated or rather, mistreated his wife with nothing but contempt and isolation.
 * Knight in Sour Armor: You'd never know he was a knight by looking at him. He had actually been a graduate of the Royal Knight's Academy that was assigned to be the Prefect of Boan. Likely due to him having graduated dead last in his class like Lute had.He's very unhappy with it.
 * Kavorka Man: Somehow in spite of his arse ugly disposition. The Prefect managed to land the pretty beyond words Roxanne for his wife, even managing to cheat on her with younger girls out in town without impunity given his looks.
 * Lolicon: Among the reasons he never consummated his marriage to Roxanne.
 * Obviously Evil: His appearance and attitude certainly don't radiate kindness or generosity. One look and you'll know he looks like he's probably up to something, which he is.
 * Only One Name: We never know his last name. Or if Irboyne is even his last or first name. We also don't know if "De Desir" is his last name or Roxanne's maiden name. Nothing about it is clarified.
 * Perpetual Frowner: While his assistant almost always smiles, he is almost always frowning.
 * Reassigned to Antarctica: In Edelland politics, to be sent to Boan is widely seen as a punishment since it's such a backwater dirt-poor job. The Prefect feels like the laughingstock of the political community, and tries desperately to get back to the capital.
 * Royals Who Actually Do Something: He tries to revolt with Prince Bobon.
 * Sacrificial Lion: He tries to make Lute this twice. The first time was when he ordered him to deal with their "succubus problem". He succeeds, much to their surprise. Then, he was being set up to lead his wife into commiting an act of infidelity which could have lead to Lute being imprisoned and/or executed... Had it not turned out that the Prefect was up to something much worse.
 * Spanner in the Works: His first plan was to have Lute face off with the succubus that was terrorizing the people of Boan just to shut the citizens up. Lute ends up befriending her, but when Lute goes to get the "reward" they promised him, they are at first going to stiff him, but then Madoise suggests they use him as bait for their initial plan of setting Lute up with Roxanne to commit infidelity. THAT fails thanks to the Prefect having a heart attack AND Shamsiel finding evidence of a bigger crime that the Prefect and his toady were trying to start.
 * Unfit for Greatness: He was a graduate from the Royal Knight Academy (and had even graduated at the bottom of his class, same as Lute, and was sent to Boan). However, instead of trying to make the most of it and working to improve the situation for those around him as well as himself, he took to hoarding all the best of anything he could get in the region, trying to marry for political and economic gains (which backfires), and even conspires to start a revolt against the crown in an attempt to seize the power and wealth he feels due to him. It ALL backfires and he ends up suffering a heart attack (or stroke) and is imprisoned for treason (even if he survived the heart attack or stroke, he was likely going to be executed anyway). Roxanne herself admits, she knew he wasn't fit to have any real power or prestige, because of his greed and lack of decency.
 * Uriah Gambit: It's a strange one to be honest (especially the visual novel version): The idea was to have Lute exorcise the Succubus that had been causing trouble in the Boan region up till then. However, the Prefect knew full well that there was no chance that anyone who was sent to Boan would be sufficiently trained in anything, much less exorcism specifically, so him ordering Lute to try was basically a death sentence. At the same time, the Prefect was also considering using Lute for his plans to set up Roxanne for committing adultery and then he'd divorce her, but again he was expecting Lute to fail and die, so it came as quite a shock when it backfires and Lute not only survives but befriends the Succubus.
 * Villain by Default: He is an aristocratic jerk.
 * What Happened To The Mouse?:.
 * Xanatos Backfire: He had tried to pull 2 Xanatos Gambits on Lute and both get turned around on him. First in setting him up to take on a Succubus with no skills or preparation to actually succeed. To everyone's utter surprise, Lute is actually able to survive and even befriend Shamsiel. (Unbeknownst to everyone including Lute himself, he is half-incubus which allowed him to survive her.)}} Then, when Lute came to collect on his "reward", the Prefect panicked, but Madoise suggested (quietly) that they use Lute as bait for Roxanne to commit adultery with someone so that the Prefect could discredit her and seek divorce. That one is also botched by outside variables: First is the succubus, Shamsiel, whom Lute had befriended, because she was keeping an eye on Lute and had discovered the Prefects dark intentions and conspiracies. The second is that the Prefect was suffering from a heart condition, and when time came to catch Lute and Roxanne in the act, he instead suffers a heart attack (or stroke). Either way he eventually dies from it.)

Madoise
The assistant to the Prefect of Boan and steward to Castle Boan. "Voiced by: Kojiro (JP)"


 * Animal Motif: Rodents. Rats, chipmunks, mouse.
 * Blatant Lies: "Monster? What monster? There's no monster? The townspeople are just superstitious!" He says referring to the succubus that the citizens of Boan were begging him to deal with... As they surrounded him and Lute as they toured the town.
 * Cheshire Cat Grin: His is quite creepy, and he's almost perpetually sporting it.
 * Didn't See That Coming: In all fairness, he never considered Lute himself being a cambion when he suggested the prospect of scapegoating the guy to the Prefect. Needless to say, they were both unpleasantly surprised that not only was their plan a failure. But were freaked out when he had Shamseil reveal herself to them.
 * Evil Is Petty: His reasons for helping the Prefect of Boan trying to ? He wants
 * Get a Hold of Yourself, Man!: While the Prefect was.
 * Hate Sink: Unlike Irboyne who had a semi-plausible reason for being a bitter, unfaithful, misogynistic dirtbag. Madoise was a slimy, conniving, boot licking and all around utterly, thoroughly disloyal and unlikable Jerkass. Naturally, no one barely cared to shed a tear for the guy when he's executed for treason, much less remember he even existed.
 * How Did You Get It?: Neither he nor the Prefect had ever expected in a million years that Lute would exorcise, much less win over Shamsiel..
 * Idiot Ball: For a man who comes up with a bunch of schemes and plans for himself and the Prefect of Boan, Madoise can be really REALLY gullible and stupid at times. For instance:
 * Impersonation Gambit: He falls for them !.
 * Just Another Fool:.
 * Man Behind the Man: Some hints point to him being this to the Prefect of Boan, in that, he suggested that.
 * Professional Butt-Kisser: If it isn't the Prefect's butt it's whoever else has as much or more power and wealth around him.
 * Perpetual Smiler: He almost always has that creepy smile on his face, so it always seems like he is up to something.
 * Quirky but Competent: He's a sniveling, scheming, butt-kisser, but he's probably better at his job than the Prefect is at his. Most if not all of the Prefect of Boan's plans were actually ideas suggested by Madoise.
 * Royally Screwed-Up: He and the Prefect tried to dispose of Lute by ordering him to take on Shamsiel, this backfires and ends up with Lute gaining Shamsiel as a lover and ally who not only protects him, but helps him uncover and ruin all of Madoise and the Prefect's other plans.
 * Schemer: This little chizzler is always trying to take advantage of somebody in same way. Especially in assisting with the Prefect's plans. It was his idea to try using Lute as bait for Roxanne to cheat on her husband and be forced to divorce.
 * Slime Ball: Many if not all the Prefects iniquitous schemes come from this rat bastard, sure. But one of his worst, most irresponsible acts was throwing an inexperienced, unprepared and under-qualified knight at a succubus, knowing full well he was way outclassed to boot. Why? Just so he and Prefect jerkface could have a fall guy his subjects could string up instead of them, as to cover for both their incompetence and flagrant disregard for the masses under they're care.
 * The Stool Pigeon: Madoise sings like a cockatrice the minuet he's revealed as co-conspirator against the crown.
 * Tampering with Food and Drink:.
 * : Many if not ALL the plots involving him and the Prefect turn out to have been
 * Unwitting Instigator of Doom:.
 * Unwitting Pawn:.
 * What Happened To The Mouse:.

Wan Coan
The Steward in Bustenhelter. He'd immigrated from an unnamed Oriental nation in the east. "Voiced by: Ichiro Kataoka (JP)"


 * Butt Monkey: His name gets mispronounced by everyone, and nobody cares when he tries to correct them.
 * Dirty Coward: He has no chance in actual combat with anyone..
 * Do with Him as You Will:.
 * Driven to Suicide:.
 * Even Bigger Bad: At first, people thought that was the traitor that the King had warned Lute about, but.
 * Feed the Mole: Literally. Lute turns this on him, because
 * Graceful Loser: Inverted. When his plans fail, he tries everything to cover them up..
 * Jerk Ass: We never really learn much about him in terms of his own backstory and personality, but at the very least we know he was.
 * Kick the Dog: In the anime adaptation, he gets busted for setting up a duel with Gladys without any authorization for doing so. He then tries to poison Lute in retaliation, but Shamsiel stops that, and he ends up getting hung the next morning. In the visual novel, he gets busted same as before, except this time he.
 * Let's You and Him Fight:.
 * Mood Whiplash: In the anime adaptation's second episode, Lute had just, and Shamsiel appears, cracking up at the hilarity of the situation for Lute. Cut away to . Cut back to Lute, who is . It makes for a cute little touching moment... Only to be tossed out the window seconds later when it cuts to a shot of.
 * Mook Lieutenant:.
 * Nice Hat: He wears a pretty fancy eastern-looking hat. Sort of makes one wonder if he's Compensating for Something.
 * Oh Crap: He has at least 3, but one was a 2-parter. First was . Then came the next incident when !
 * Quit Your Whining: When people mispronounce his name, he always says something, and they always tell him to get over it.
 * Running Gag: People can't seem to get Whan Cwaine's name right... SEE!
 * Spell My Name with an "S": Whan Maun HATES how people can't seem to pronounce his name right.

Prime Minister Rubin Von Bernstein
The Prime Minister of Edelland. "Voiced by: Ken Munakata (JP)"


 * Big Bad:
 * Abomination Accusation Attack: He invokes this on Lute. Technically speaking, it happens in every route. He sees Lute as scum that needs to die, but particular mention goes to what happens in
 * Card-Carrying Villain: He's evil. Practically everyone can tell just by standing in his presence.
 * Chessmaster: He manipulates people from the shadows to control the kingdom. The furthest extent of his control is unclear, but he IS confirmed to have been tied to:.
 * Chronic Backstabbing Disorder: So much so... There's also, Prince Bobon... No surprise..
 * Conviction by Contradiction:
 * Devil in Plain Sight: He looks about as harmless as Disney's Jafar. Pretty much everyone knows he has his own agenda, but he sets himself up so that few are able to do anything. . It's a little different in the anime adaptation though, because in that one he seemingly puts on a facade of pretending to be nice as he tended to speak in a cheerful and somewhat goofy manner.
 * Dirty Old Man:.
 * Dirty Coward:.
 * Establishing Character Moment: The moment he sees our hero, he summons guards to throw him out of the palace, showing how much of a jerk he is.
 * Even Evil Has Standards: Keep in mind: this guy is a manipulative, cruel, and evil bastard as well as the Big Bad of the story overall.
 * Evil Prime Minister: By the time you've reached this guy's entry it's no secret.
 * Evil Cannot Comprehend Good: He doesn't see the good in others. Apart from things they have that he deems useful to him, such as wealth, position, or influence. Anything or anyone else that he can't exert his control over is useless in his eyes.
 * Genre Savvy:
 * Hate Sink: Is a selfish, conniving, manipulative, and arrogant SOB who acts like he deserves to have the highest authority over everyone.
 * Hidden Agenda Villain: The Prime Minister is always scheming some half baked measures to undermine those he looks down upon and secure more power/influence for himself. The focus of these harebrained centers around his trying to undermine Lute Hende whom he see's as garbage and a threat to his conspiracies on top of conspiracies.
 * It's All About Me: Puts himself and his own plans ahead of the well being of others. So much so that he's willing to leave the country in a constant state of turmoil just to profit off of the strife he's had a hand in setting in motion to begin with in order to further his selfish goals. Thankfully most of his plans relapse on the old bastard for the betterment of everyone else.
 * Parental Neglect/Abusive Dad: Spent years trotting his only daughter Emeralia around like an object instead of a person, We know how well that worked in the end.
 * Underestimating Badassery: Repeatedly saw Lute or others of his ilk as scum, rocks, filth and always finding some way to undermine those who're not on his side. Bites him pretty hard in the Harem Route.
 * Hoist by His Own Petard: Big time...Many times... To dig a bit more into his downfall, it wasn't JUST  that he was mean to to where it would come back to bite him. There was also....
 * I Have No Daughter:
 * Idiot Ball: For all his well thought out plots and conniving, the Prime Minister or his lackey's are either too boastful or too prone to giving away subtle hints to his involvement in high treason. Or the assistant Buan Qoen at Bustenhalter, who let slip he was taking orders from someone up on high to lead both sides to eventual degradation.  More over, wanting a complete monkey's arse like Prince Baboon to ascend the monarchy in the first place? That's living proof of the Prime Ministers more than questionable intelligence. Anyone with half a brain knew straight away that that big fat spoiled loser was no more suitable for the throne than a pet'd make for a personal advisor; stemming but not limited to Lute, Isis, Motaire, Felzin, Emeralia (probably), Bobon's sister Luceria and even Baboon's father; King Hagel I. Who specifically stated to the hero of the story that his deplorable son would never, ever succeed him as king. Everybody was aware of this, just as they were well aware of the reasons why he was so undeserving of the title. Why or how didn't Bernstein?
 * Karma Houdini:
 * In Luceria's route,.
 * In Roxanne's route,.
 * Like a Broken Record: You wouldn't believe the number of times you'd hear this guy boast about his dominion over the kingdom or denounce anyone he assumes to have no real worth or talent he couldn't exploit. . Rubin always rues the day Lute ever came back into his midst after accomplishing one astounding feat after another, regularly calling him scum or a rock compared the diamonds his pawns are. He'd often rant to himself about being the secret power behind the kingdom, braying on how everything was in the palm of his hand and that no one would take it from him.
 * Loyal to the Position:.
 * Malicious Slander:.
 * No Kill Like Overkill:.
 * Obviously Evil: Definitely. His attire, his voice, his face, his attitude, his manners, how he carries himself, how he sees and addresses others, how others talk about him... The only way it could be more obvious were if he had the words tattooed across his face!
 * : Happens at the end of the Harem route, compliments of.
 * Parental Incest:
 * Parental Incest: Some comments he does towards his only daughter imply it, and her thoughts about him just after refusing one confirms it.
 * Redemption Rejection: When all his evil deeds FINALLY come back to bite him, . Let's be honest here. We all pretty much know he would have said anything to survive, but meant none of it.
 * Reliably Unreliable Weapon: By all accounts, this guy had all the right weapons: An anti-demonic sword and a, but he had neither the training in swordsmanship nor the to make them any more than totally useless to him. His all-star jerkiness really shows in how he chose to deal with Lute, only for most of it to backfire horrendously.
 * Royals Who Actually Do Something: He feels that his actions are what keeps the kingdom alive.
 * Schizo-Tech: In possession of some that is in far advance of any other technology in the setting, a . Considering the highest level of technology in the setting is sixteenth century cannons, this is him having the equivalent of an AK-47 when all he should have is a smoothbore musket.
 * Small Name, Big Ego: of a kind and ultimately inverted. He's the Prime Minister of the kingdom and all around scheming dirtbag working around the current head of state, loves to play up his personal import about how politics and standard goings on within the nation are run. Even though he's as much the heart of the problem as was the kings rushed revolution. Rubin himself was but a master manipulator backed only by his conniving and duplicity, constantly needing the help of others in order to have any real impact both in the political and real world stages. True he was surprisingly well equipped with a slew of magic relics and protective seals, beyond that however he was mostly kind of useless on his own.
 * Straw Hypocrite: Oh, well and truly beyond the norm with this Jerkass. Regularly denounces and insults everyone who's either worthless in his eyes or a threat to his power in spite of being scheming piece of crap whose pretty much useless on his own? Check. Always boasting of a greatness by working his tools and pawns around to further the kingdoms stagnation for his own personal benefit, while claiming that everything said conniving bastard had done was for the sake of which? Check. Tends to assign fault on people he deems enemies of the state, attempting to demonize them when just about every crappy thing happening in the nation as a whole can be traced back to him? Need we say more?
 * Tampering with Food and Drink:.
 * The Man Behind The Man: As said above, he's been manipulating events throughout the kingdom for years. Pretty much every other villain in the story was being influenced by him in some way:
 * Prince Bobon did the worst in pretty much all the classes at the Royal Knight's Academy, but Lute's scores were lower. Why? . When that fails:.
 * Prefect Irboyne was the least powerful, poorest, and least regarded prefect of all the territories in the kingdom, but the Prime Minister had been.
 * Madoise? He may or may not have been directly following orders from the Prime Minister, but he.
 * Wan Kwang was the Prime Minister's mole in.
 * Assassins ABCDE were sought out and hired by.
 * Uriah Gambit: It's pretty much this guy's go-to strategy to getting rid of people aside from just them or having . He does it to Lute several times: In the beginning, Lute was sent to Boan pretty much as a form of banishment, and one may wonder if the reason Lute was sent there was specifically BECAUSE  Then, in Isis and Shamsiel's route he sends Lute  Finally, in Luceria's and the  He pulls yet another one after that:
 * Villain Ball: Everyone knew full well how much of a complete and utterly undeserving jackass Prince Blubber well and truly was, both in hindsight and foresight. Yet this long whiskered idiot constantly fudged test scores in his favor and even went so far as to cover up his treason so he could place him on the throne as a Puppet King. Most people with a brain are well aware that buttheaded scum bag is, was and ever would be a bad fit for leadership, why didn't this guy?
 * Walking Spoiler: He only shows up in person after the end of the second arc, where it is made clear . Let's just say most of his tropes must be...covered.
 * What Happened To The Mouse?: In Luceria's route,.
 * What an Idiot!: For someone who prepares for so much in advance, he makes some surprisingly stupid mistakes.

Assassins ABCDE
The Assassins hired in Vunderbalt. (A, B, and C then later D and E) "(D) Voiced by: Masato Sakurai (JP)"


 * All According to Plan: They certainly try. But when they failed to kill him in the streets, they try again after dark, but he drives them off in his sleep. Then, D and E are hired a few nights later, and they were only supposed to beat him up as a test, but when he fought back in his sleep, they try to kill him, but fail once again. Shamsiel then finishes them off, and when all is said and done, they DID serve their purpose: They showed everyone that there is more to Lute than meets the eye.
 * Body Horror: Nope. We don't actually see their faces or anything under the cloaks and helmets. However, in the anime, one of them gets stabbed in the throat by Gladys and coughs up a large amount of blood before dying. Then, in the Visual Novel, during the early part of the Vunderbalt Rebellion section, D and E are hired to try and beat up Lute during the night. They fail and end up being beaten by him in his sleep. Shamsiel then devours them. Their bodies are found the next morning outside Lute's window a few stories down... Shriveled dry.
 * Butt Monkey: They fail to kill Lute 3 separate times, and it keeps getting funnier each time.
 * Bump Into Confrontation: Lute spots A, B, and C, for the first time as he wanders the city in Bustenhalter, and after he sees them chasing a female knight (who turns out to be Gladys), he chases after them.
 * Conflicting Loyalties: Who exactly DO they work for? They were seen chasing Gladys the head of the rebels through town... One even tries to kill her in her sleep in the anime, but fails. But then, when Lute confronts them, they try to kill him. That night, A, B, and C are hired by Jon Tran to try and kill Lute, but he defeats them in his sleep and they flee. Pretty much the next night, D and E are hired by the 3 generals to not kill, but beat up and test Lute's abilities. He beats them up too, but Shamsiel takes it upon herself to finish them off...
 * Cyclops: The headwear they all have makes them look like humanoid Doms.
 * Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep": Their names are listed as literally: Assassin A, Assassin B, Assassin C, Assassin D, and Assassin E. Even when talking among themselves.
 * Forgotten First Meeting: I bet you, like many, probably forgot that the actual first time Lute met one of these guys was in Boan. Apparently, during that time Assassin A was working as both a messenger and personal guard to Prince Bobon, but somehow after Bobon and Madoise were imprisoned for treason. He escaped and made it to Bustenhalter. In the anime, 2 unknown Assassins were with Bobon when he got busted, but we don't know which ones they were.
 * Go for the Eye: In the anime adaptation, one of them tried to kill Gladys in her sleep, but she was actually awake and turned around and stabbed him in the throat upward. She told him he could either die quietly or tell her who sent him. His response?.
 * Inexplicably Identical Individuals: We never actually see their faces, but they all have the exact same outfits, body types, height, and weights. Even though some are never seen interacting with each other. Are they related? Are they a team? We never know. The only thing that lets us distinguish them are the letters on their shoulder pads.
 * Karmic Death: Lute defeats them in his sleep, when they were trying to kill him, in his sleep. In the case of D and E, they were going to only rough him up some, but when he defeats them, they're left knocked out on the floor... Shamsiel takes it upon herself to finish them off. The reason? Not only had they tried to attack Lute, but they said insulting things about him as they were about to do so. Insult her man? Be ready to die.
 * In the anime, things go a bit different for the Assassins: 2 of them are captured along with Prince Bobon in Boan during the conspiracy incident. Another gets killed by Gladys when he tried to murder her in her sleep.
 * Leave Him to Me; When one fails to get their target, the next tried. Only for them to usually fail too. When all is said and done, they either retreated or actually had this flipped on them in the case of D and E, since Shamsiel decided to take it upon herself to finish them off for Lute.
 * Murder Is the Best Solution: D and E were only hired to rough Lute up a little as a test. He ends up beating them both in his sleep. What's their response? Screw beating him up, let's just kill him! They try, but he beats them again. That time though, Shamsiel had been watching and was fed up with people attacking Lute, so she decides the best way to deal with them... Devouring them!
 * [[No Big Deal]:] Whenever they get defeated (by Lute), he plays it off as this, usually claiming that he had little to do with their defeats or saying that he didn't mean for it to happen. It's technically true, but this just comes off as him being modest to the others.
 * Out with a Bang: D and E certainly went out like this... thanks to Shamsiel.
 * Pre-Ass-Kicking One-Liner: Shamsiel delivers one before she takes care of D and E: "Bon Appetite".
 * Quit Your Whining: They try to be professionals, but getting carrots spat in their eyes, kicked in the groin, or punched in the face tends to make them lose focus. Usually another of them will tell them this... seconds before getting hit themselves.
 * Red Eyes, Take Warning: Sort of... IS that their eye(s)? Does this mean they're all cyclopes? We never see their faces so there's no telling.
 * Running Gag: Their incompetence at assassination. When they try to approach Lute in his sleep, he kicks or punches them while still asleep. When they try to jump him in an alley, he spits carrot chunks into their eyes, and they trip and fall all over themselves as well as the carrots.
 * Sacrificial Lamb: D and E were sent as a test for Lute, but he defeats them in his sleep without realizing it. Shamsiel finished them off and tossed their bodies out the window. This scenario eventually leads to Felzen and the other generals starting to see Lute in a more positive light.
 * Too Dumb To Live: They fail their missions in the most spectacularly comedic and stupid ways.
 * The Faceless: We never see their faces... or skin... or anything really. The anime shows a bit more of them, but at the same time, they are still unidentifiable. In fact, the anime adaptation doesn't show the letters on their shoulders so there is no telling which is which during their appearances.
 * The Killer Becomes the Killed: D and E, thanks to Shamsiel.
 * What an Idiot!: They pretty much all have their moments. A, B, and C even have a combination idiot/Adorkable moment when they attempt to kill Lute in his sleep, and for some reason they felt the need to have a roll call IN THE ROOM WHILE LUTE WAS SLEEPING! It was like they were preparing to try out for a cheer squad.
 * What Happened To The Mouse?: After their botched attempt at killing Lute in his sleep, we never hear from A, B, or C again, so it is assumed they ran off somewhere. D and E on the other hand, weren't so lucky...
 * You Taste Delicious: Inverted, Shamsiel tells Lute the next morning after having... "eaten" D and E that they tasted so gross she thought she might have a stomach ache. Although she followed up by saying Lute tastes way better.
