Kyonyuu Fantasy Gaiden/Characters

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


 * Accidental Pornomancer He still doesn't have any idea that he's actually, which is part of the reason why he's unbeatable in bed.
 * Achievements in Ignorance Not as much as in the first time around, but he still has a few moments where he pulls of unthinkably difficult tasks without being fully aware of how he actually did it.
 * Almighty Janitor As said, he graduated dead last in his class at the Royal Knight's Academy, and yet eventually managed to become the King. However, in terms of international opinion, he's still seen in a low light, because they consider him just the king of some second-rate kingdom. There's also his reputation for being.
 * Cannot Spit It Out It's not so much that he can't tell the women he loves, that he loves them. It's that if he ever tries to say it to one of them while in front of the rest... He can actually FEEL their death glares at him.
 * Jerk with a Heart of Gold Most people when they first meet him think he's just a Handsome Lech mixed with some moments of Jerk Ass, but in reality he's one of the nicest people you'll ever meet. Comes as a complete shock to said people when they finally understand this.
 * Lost Aesop Split Seeds played a sizable part in the last story, but there's no use nor mention of them in this one.
 * Nerves of Steel Nobody quite knows how, why, or where his courage comes from, but he is renowned for it. The only thing he seems to fear is upsetting his women.
 * Obfuscating Stupidity: Where Lute is just an idiot and where he's smart is a fuzzy line. While it's eventually clear he lets people believe he's a moron if it will benefit him, even they after knowing better still aren't entirely sure just how true this actually is, and Lute even has to clarify a few times when he was invoking this trope and when he wasn't because the confusion gets so bad.
 * Unfortunate Names Apparently, outside of Edelland, Lute has numerous nicknames among the foreign nations such as: His Lewdness, His Lasciviousness, the Parvenu King, and the Tits-Loving King. He doesn't exactly care/mind though since it's all basically true.

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


 * Absolute Cleavage 3 words: See her image?
 * Ambiguously Bi Make no mistake. She's a succubus, and Lute is the man she loves most. However, she does occasionally join in on the action when Lute is with other girls. . She even calls Emeralia "cute".
 * Blue Blood Shamsiel is a succubus, which is the 2nd highest ranked of all demon species. Now that she has officially married Lute and lives with him openly as a queen consort, she loves opportunities to remind everyone that they should refer to her as "your highness Shamsiel" and act pompous at times. The thing is, she does this teasingly so no one minds. Except for the addressing her part, which she DOES mean when she tells them to address her properly.
 * Break the Cutie Her story arc in this one is very much this.
 * Brought Down to Badass In the first game, she was easily the most powerful person in any room. To Game Breaker levels with all of her abilities together. This time around? She's still the most powerful person in any room she enters . However, this time around they do seem to have toned her powers back a bit.
 * Brutally Honest Let's put it this way: At one point she says "" in a room full of people after being . Suffice to say, Shamsiel is probably the most honest and straight-to-the-point person in the entire story.
 * Eyes of Gold They glow in the dark too!
 * Glowing Eyes of Doom Her yellow eyes glow in the dark.
 * I Want My Beloved to Be Happy Her love for Lute is deep, and she demonstrates this to incredible levels that she would do anything if it meant Lute could be happy. Good news for her, is that Lute is the same toward her.
 * She's Got Legs She sure does! In fact, Lute says that she, Isis, and Gladys have the finest legs out of all the women in his harem. Also, when she was overseeing the mug production in Bustenhalter, she would let the men see her bare feet as rewards for their hard work, and apparently this was enough to always get them fired up to do more. And if that wasn't enough? Threatening to "eat" them did the trick too.

Gladys Von Wackenheim
The former leader of a rebel faction in Edelland. She was defeated by Lute in the first game, fell in love with him, and he actually pardoned her as well as made her the High Commander of the kingdom's military.


 * Action Girlfriend She is renowned as the best knight in the entire continent. Her skills in swordplay and chess are said to be unmatched.
 * Bunny Ears Lawyer: Even those that respect her acknowledge she has a bizarrely skimpy outfit, but her sheer competence means they just roll with it.
 * Authority Equals Asskicking Gladys was once the leader of a rebel faction, and now she's high commander of all military in Edelland. She didn't get to be either simply because of her looks. In fact, I pity any fool that tries to mess with her that ISN'T Lute.
 * Badass In Charge She IS the High Commander for a reason, and no it isn't her incredible body.
 * Break the Cutie arranged to have rumors spread around Edelland that Gladys would.
 * Brutally Honest She rivals Shamsiel with how open she is about her wants and desires. A perfect example:.
 * Stripperiffic Discussed and justified. Several people make comments about her outfit, mostly saying it doesn't seem appropriate for someone in her position (as High Commander ). But then, GLADYS HERSELF justifies her outfit by saying that any true wife's job is to dress to seduce her man.
 * Single Target Sexuality Lute is the only man she loves, the only man she's willing to let touch her, and the only man she feels is worthy of her. If anyone else so much as tries? Be prepared to "get shorter".
 * Undying Loyalty To Lute of course. Woe be to anyone who tries to harm him. She also doesn't like it when people speak ill of Lute in front of her, even if it was an old friend of her father, such as Count Roche, if you trash-talk Lute, you aren't worth her time.
 * Earn Your Happy Ending In the previous game, despite holding a crucial role in the story, she never got her own singular route. However, this time around... She still doesn't get one. That said, . By the way, in the.

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


 * Absolute Cleavage She supposedly has the biggest in the entire continent, if not known world.
 * Accidental Pornomancer Similar to Lute, she too is actually half-human half-demon. For her, her mother was a Nymph, so her body has properties similar to that of a succubus... Meaning that if any normal man were to try and get intimate with her, they might end up dead, but even she doesn't know this fact about herself.
 * Badass Adorable
 * Badass Princess Technically with her marriage to Lute, she's now a "Badass Queen".
 * Costume Porn If you thought her design and outfit in the first game was fancy, this one cranks it up to eleven!

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


 * Absolute Cleavage She almost rivals Luceria in size.
 * Benevolent Boss She and the other queens are reputed as being very kind to the people they rule.
 * Cool Big Sis She and Luceria seem to get along really well, and their relationship with one another kind of has a sisterly vibe.
 * MILF Everyone, and I mean EVERYONE who sees her, thinks she is this. There's plenty of reasons to think so: Her breasts are huge and she lactates more than any other woman in Lute's harem, she's married to Lute, and she's in right the age range for it. In fact, she's the eldest, aside from Shamsiel (and even that's a technicality) of all the women Lute falls in love with. But to everyone's surprises, she ISN'T one. Why? Because, despite all the reasons just said, she has never given birth or even been impregnated before. It's explained that she has a special medical condition that causes the swelling and lactating from her breasts, but again... She has never had children, despite flat-out saying that she wants to have them. Lute has said she would make a perfect mother if she ever had children. Time will tell.

Prime Minister Emeralia
The Estranged-Daughter of the previous Prime Minister, she had been forced to do all sorts of horrible things under his orders, but Lute helped her free herself from his control, and Lute pardoned her. He also made her the new Prime Minister of Edelland, which she is doing quite well as.


 * Absolute Cleavage See her image? X marks the spot!
 * Ambiguously Bi She loves Lute, but she has a few moments such as.
 * Brutal Honesty Now that her father isn't around, she is free to express herself all she wants. Though it has taken time, she IS getting better and better at it, the more she is around Lute and the others. Such as.
 * Covert Pervert In the sense that she is more reserved than most of the others. That said, once she gets started she goes ALL OUT! Perhaps a better way to say it is that during a few times when she and Lute are getting intimate, he notices that.
 * I Just Want My Beloved to Be Happy Her devotion to Lute almost rivals Shamsiel in how far she would go to protect Lute. Again though, he would do just as much to protect her as well.
 * Making Love in All the Wrong Places She and Lute make love in a Cathedral... In broad daylight... Practically ON THE ALTAR!
 * Nerves of Steel For someone with no combat skills, she sure is brave. See Undying Loyalty below.
 * Only Sane Woman: While even she has her moments of being a sexpot, she's generally the one woman of Lute's coterie who can force herself to focus on important matters when push comes to shove.
 * Put on a Bus She has a much bigger role in the 1st half of the story, but not as much in the 2nd half.
 * Ready for Lovemaking She can act as reserved as she wants, but Lute can see right through her, and knows exactly when she's up for some action.
 * Sinister Minister Inverted, big time. She is NOTHING like the corrupt bastard she wasn't even able to properly call "her father". She's really good at the job, and people ARE starting to trust her more. That being said, there are those who keep bringing up her traitorous past and try to use it to discredit her, but thankfully Lute vouches for her.
 * Undying Loyalty Her devotion to Lute is as deep as any of the rest in Lute's harem, and at times she even gives Shamsiel a run for her money in this department. Such as when . There was also.

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


 * Action Girlfriend She's the top female graduate from the Royal Academy. Apart from Gladys, she's the top female swordswoman in the kingdom.
 * Absolute Cleavage You betcha!
 * Berserk Button She doesn't like people calling her names, nor does she like when other people try to peek at her... Except Lute of course.
 * Bodyguard Crush She is Lute (and the queens') personal bodyguard, and she is in love with Lute, to the point that she is also a member of Lute's harem of wives/lovers.
 * Bodyguarding a Badass She even discusses this with Lute that she feels somewhat amazed that SHE is bodyguarding such a great man as he is..
 * Brutal Honesty ZigZagged. She loves Lute completely, but is too shy to express it as openly as the rest of Lute's wives/lovers. However, when they two of them are alone, she tells him things like how great he is in bed, and how she wants nothing more than for him to lay her down and ravage her body to his heart's content. Which he does and she enjoys it every bit as much as him.
 * Cannot Spit It Out She loves Lute with all her heart, but in the course of this story, she never tries to assert herself to seek more of his attention like the others in his harem do. Instead, she shrinks off to the sidelines. That said, she will glare daggers if any of the other girls try to get Lute to say "I love you" in front of her or the rest of them.
 * Put on a Bus She gets very little screen time in this story, despite her huge part in the first one. Partially because of her acting more timid this time around, and partially just because.
 * She's Got Legs You better believe it! In fact, Lute thinks that she, Shamsiel, and Gladys have the nicest legs of all the members of his harem.
 * Shrinking Violet She may lack the hair color, but she has certainly become a lot more timid since the previous story for some reason.
 * Single Target Sexuality She makes it VERY clear. Her body is only for Lute. He alone is the only man allowed to touch or even see her in any sexual manner.
 * Sleep Cute She and Lute make love to each other one night, and they fall asleep cuddling each other. Right before Lute falls asleep, he brushes her hair to the side, causing her to smile at him in her sleep.
 * Their First Time In neither this story, nor during the previous, do we actually know how/when she lost her virginity in the canon route. However, by the events of this story, we can assume that it was with Lute sometime after the ending of the first game, because she and the other members of Lute's harem are said to have intercourse pretty much daily.
 * They Wasted a Perfectly Good Character Dear God...Poor Isis. In the harem route of the last game, she was the only woman to not have an H-scene with Lute during the entire route's events. She had her own route and was part of a few group sessions in the epilogue, but as far as the canon is concerned, she never got her own scenes with Lute. That seemingly carried over, because in this story she only gets a single H-scene, and maybe 1 other minor group H-scene at the very end. Such a waste.
 * Unfortunate Name She shares a first name with a certain terrorist organization.

Nellis
A court magician for the Kingdom of Lingobard.


 * Absolute Cleavage Positively absolute!
 * A-Cup Angst I know what you're thinking. And you're right. She is NOT an A-cup. However, she does notice and acknowledge that of all the women Lute surrounds himself with. Her boobs are the smallest, and thus she gets a bit self-conscious about it, and wonders if that was partially why he didn't bother to touch her for so long. . Fair reason to be honest.
 * Because You Were Nice to Me Like pretty much every girl before her, she starts to fall for Lute for this reason.
 * Belly Dancer Her outfit kind of reminds one of this.
 * Break the Badass She's quite loyal to those in Lingobard, despite how they mistreat her..
 * Corrupt the Cutie She was a virgin when she met Lute, and aside from knowing how to have a Date With Rosie Palms, is overall inexperienced. And then....
 * Date With Rosie Palms After she acts as Lute's Milk Maid the first time, she felt so much pleasure that she could hardly walk afterward. She goes back to her room and ruminates over what had just happened and she admits to herself that she craved more. Her hands start wandering, and she was riiiight about to go this route, but stops when she remembers her mission.
 * Happiness in Slavery Zigzagged. She starts out in a pretty poor situation:.
 * I Just Want My Beloved to Be Happy It's kind of a hard subject to discuss with her. In that, she's very protective and supportive of Argent, but once the story ends, she chooses to stay with Lute rather than him.
 * Immodest Orgasm Supposedly Lingobard women are reputed for not making much noise in bed... Then she met Lute... ... ... She was quiet for maybe the first 2 seconds, after that? This. SO MUCH THIS!!!
 * Nerves of Steel A few times in the story,.
 * Stripperiffic Her attire is very much this. Although, one might argue it as justified since she, so the more she is able to divert someone's attention is probably all the better for her.
 * Their First Time Following Lute's defeat of, while there is a massive celebration going on, Lute takes her out to an adjacent hallway, and then Coitus Ensues. Once all is said and done, Lute made her orgasm so much and so hard that she faints and Lute has to carry her back to her room. She wakes up barely able to stand, much less walk, and much less.
 * Trojan Horse She was given to Lute as a "gift" from Lingobard. Her mission was to help assassinate Lute, and she does make numerous attempts, but she is thwarted each time and Lute himself convinces her that it was time to fold 'em or else..
 * Underboobs Her top consists of basically a single bit of cloth that only lays over her breasts.
 * Victim Falls For Rapist She was "given" to Lute as a gift from Lingobard to be his personal "milk maid", so it's a little unclear as to what applies or not. Lute didn't get her to fall for him by raping her. Instead, he made sure he treated her well enough to where she eventually pulls a Mistreatment-Induced Betrayal on her Lingobard masters. That said, Their First Time did contribute a bit to the decision.

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


 * Absolute Cleavage And how! Her breasts are said by some to be a National Treasure of Fronce.
 * Berserk Button NEVER try to get between her and her lingerie, specifically a bra. She needs them to support her queenly rack, so when Cuvier !
 * Brutal Honesty Not initially, but after she falls for Lute, she doesn't exactly mince words anymore in front of him.
 * Expy: Of two French Bourbon Monarchs. Louis XIV, where she gets her assertiveness and her nigh totally revered status as the one in charge, and Louis XV, who was known to be rather amorous and under whom France had started to decline in influence after the numerous wars of his predecessor.
 * I Just Want My Beloved to Be Happy In the sense of both.
 * King Incognito The first time she meets Lute, she isn't wearing her queenly attire and she doesn't reveal her true identity. Instead, she is dressed as a knight, . She also dons the armor for a.
 * Properly Paranoid She has it to where, even Cuvier and Count Roche are required to undergo inspections before seeing her in her throne room. Such is the life of a queen of a former continental super power.
 * Their First Time This one's hard to figure out. Aphrodia makes numerous claims that her body is basically a national treasure for the Kingdom of Fronce, and yet when she and Lute have actual sex for the first time, she makes statements that make you wonder if she actually WAS a virgin or not. At the very least, she says that Lute was the first man to ever make her orgasm from her breasts AND the only man to outlast her.
 * The Royal We: Tends to address herself as this a LOT. Makes sense, she is the queen and in that role she IS Fronce, hence the formality.
 * A fairly sizable factor as to why she falls for Lute is because.
 * Silk Hiding Steel See her image? She usually wears that dress of hers, but a couple times she meets with Lute wearing the armor, and when she does so, it usually means she's about to fight someone. Which is to say, she can probably whoop some ass on her own.
 * Sleep Cute When she meets Lute for the very first time, she.
 * So Beautiful It's a Curse See that rack of hers? Is it nice? Yes. Is it a problem for her? Also yes. Why? Because she has problems with wearing out bras. . A gift she considers the best she ever got.
 * Victim Falls For Rapist Sex isn't why she falls in love with Lute, but it sure helped bring them closer together. The first time they met, . Later on, At first, she claims that she didn't exactly give him permission to do so with her, but secretly she had actually been hoping he would, so it's open to interpretation.
 * Later events throw this trope into extremely doubtful territory: . That all being said, it's not really sure where she was willing to draw a line between consent and rape, and it eventually become a moot point.
 * Don't misunderstand. She's the queen of one of the major powers of the entire continent. She never actually becomes this... Per say: . So for all intents and purposes, it counts.

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


 * Actually Pretty Funny
 * Brutal Honesty
 * Berserk Button He has a temper.
 * Cool Old Guy He enjoys his job.
 * Fiery Redhead You better believe that if you make him mad, there WILL be consequences.
 * Papa Wolf Apparently, after Aristera and Droit left him, Motaire started seeing Felzen's niece. As you can imagine, Felzen isn't exactly thrilled about this given Motaire's previous reputation.

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


 * Actually Pretty Funny
 * Badass Teacher He's one of the 3 best generals in Edelland's military and is able to teach others about the Knighted Bureaucracy.
 * Brutal Honesty
 * Berserk Button He isn't very keen on people mocking his king (Lute).
 * Cool Old Guy He enjoys his job.

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


 * Actually Pretty Funny
 * Brutal Honesty
 * Berserk Button He has a temper, he doesn't like when people bring up his age, and he also doesn't like it when people disrespect those he is supportive of such as when people speak ill of Lute.
 * Cool Old Guy He enjoys his job.

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


 * Actually Pretty Funny He used to not get along with Lute, but these days, he's right there laughing along with him as a friend.
 * Brutal Honesty He actually asks . He immediately regretted this, because she got pissed and beat the crap out of him.
 * Butt Monkey He's far more competent now, but he still has one or two moments where he slips up and says something he quickly regrets..
 * "Well Done, Son" Guy He does quite a bit to help his father, but in doing so, he's also helping the kingdom itself, so it's not as pathetic as most examples of this trope.

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


 * Asshole Victim You can tell this idiot is related to Bobon. He has tantrums when he doesn't get his way, he hates anyone who disagrees with him, and he's abusive toward women.
 * Berserk Button Nearly everything sets him off. If you disagree with him, he screams, if you say his plans are flawed, he beats you. If you tell him NOT to do something, he'll try to have you executed, and do what he said anyway.
 * Bad Boss Suffice to say, nobody cared when he lost his position or his head.
 * Dropped a Bridge on Him His first act that we know of, was him getting captured and defeated by Gladys prior to the story. . History likely won't remember him all that much.
 * Jerkass: To a ridiculous extreme.
 * Jerk with a Heart of Jerk This guy is a jackass through and through. He even sought aid from the Church of Holy Rood, but was rejected, because they figured he wanted to get them to unleash some sort of divine power for him to win... Yeah... Churches don't work like that, jackass.
 * Hair-Trigger Temper: It easier to keep track of when he not mad. You can count it on your fingers... On one hand.
 * Mistreatment-Induced Betrayal He's part of the reason for why Nellis eventually joins Lute's side (beating and verbally lashing at someone for their opinions tends to not make one popular). He's also partially responsible for why his own subjects in Lingobard didn't care when he was removed from his position, executed, and then Lingobard was annexed by Edelland, because by comparison, Lute wasn't nearly as demanding nor as much of a jackass to them as Bazalt was.
 * Unfortunate Implications Initally, one might think Nellis is a court magician or perhaps a personal servant to Argent and the Lingobard royalty. But then, Bazalt says "Sell her to some bawdy house for all I care!" Then, she is "given" as a "milk maid" to Lute. A "gift" they say. Basically meaning...
 * What an Idiot! This guy just doesn't know when to quit while he's ahead. His thirst for revenge on Edelland after his humiliating defeat in the war a year or so prior to this stories' events blinds him from making any sensible decisions to preserve whatever dignity he or his kingdom had left, and of course it all comes back to bite him in the ass eventually.

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


 * Asshole Victim He's like Bobon's stupidity and Motaire's former self-righteous attitude mixed into one person. This makes it incredibly easy to not feel sorry for him when bad things happen to him.
 * He does, however, have one redeeming characteristic: He not nearly as much of an asshole as Bobon was nor nearly as self-righteous as Motaire used to be. However, it's just enough he's less loathsome then they were, and just as inept as Bobon.
 * Berserk Button He hates it when people mispronounce his name, he also doesn't like it when he gets rejected by dark-skinned women (who in his opinion are THE best), and he also doesn't like being told that he will likely never be king.
 * Butt Monkey He's like if you took Bobon's incompetence and overall uselessness at anything, and put it in a pretty-boy like Motaire's body. This leads him to being the butt of many a joke.
 * Kick The Dog He has a surprising number of these moments happen to him, including but not limited to: Gladys flat-out telling him that she would NEVER be with him or anyone other than Lute (as she repeatedly smooches Lute in front of him), to his face (see Single Target Sexuality below and you'll understand.)
 * Know When to Fold'Em: Zig Zagged. He DID have the brains to do this after having his plans scuttled more than a few times, but he immediately went back to his old ways when his bad habits flared up again.
 * Mistreatment-Induced Betrayal Despite her acting and speaking almost constantly to try and help him achieve his goals, his neglect and rude behavior toward Nellis is part of the reason why she eventually opts to side with Lute and sever all ties with Lingobard, him included.
 * Single Target Sexuality Apparently Argent only has a thing for "dark skinned women". Which means he INSTANTLY has the hots for Gladys at first sight... Too bad for him, she also has this trope applied to her. Her target? Lute. Anyone else? NEVER!!!
 * Spell My Name with an "S" When he first meets Lute officially, Lute mispronounces his name several times . Argent gets riled up pretty easily.
 * Too Dumb to Live: After a certain point, he could have just pledged support to Lute and gotten everything he wanted, but he just had to be an imbecile and wound up with far less than he started, and it's only because Lute is a REALLY Nice Guy he wasn't executed, even though by the end of the game he's given Lute all sorts of valid reasons.
 * Nellis herself is also a big reason he survives as long as he does, because she is Dangerously Genre Savvy, she was able to . She also goes as far as to . Lute agreed to this.
 * Unfit for Greatness For starters, in Lingobard, he is 3rd in line to the throne, he's almost as stupid and simple-minded as Bobon was. He gets upset easily and if not for Nellis looking out for him, he'd have long since been caught and executed for his plots against King Lute. He is also quite rude with women, and Gladys makes it very clear that she wants nothing to do with a little pissant like him.
 * Ungrateful Bastard This idiot gets caught conspiring against Lute and the others time and again, yet Lute shows him mercy time and again, but to the very end this bastard STILL can't help himself and continues to try and cause trouble for Lute..
 * "Well Done, Son" Guy or rather "Well Done, Nephew" Guy The whole reason he's trying to take out Lute is because his uncle Bazalt I told him that if he managed to do so, he would consider (not definitely, but simply CONSIDER) appointing him as his successor as the future king of Lingobard.
 * What an Idiot! Guess he really IS related to Bobon. He is given chance after chance after chance AFTER CHANCE to cut the crap, quit going after Lute, and move on with his life, and if he had just done that he'd have likely been far better off. But, his greed and single-minded desire to become king by any means necessary ends with him losing any chance of becoming King of anything other than king of dumbasses.
 * To give a sense, . How did the plan actually go? Well....
 * What Happened to the Mouse? At the very end of the story, Lingobard is officially annexed by Edelland, his uncle had been executed, Nellis opts to stay with Lute rather than him, and he is sent back to what used to be Lingobard. What this actually means for him is anyone's guess... Basically the one thing it DOES mean is that he will NEVER be king of anything.

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


 * Sacrificial Lamb One of the younger Cardinals tries opening Pandora's Box toward the beginning of the story to test his holiness. It serves as Saint Reaper's first appearance... And the poor bastard is deemed unworthy, and thus Saint Reaper kills him and devours his soul.
 * Saintly Church Clearly the Catholic Church of their world.
 * Corrupt Church A few of the Cardinals are under the payroll of Marquis Cuvier.
 * Sealed Evil in a Can Not exactly "evil", but Saint Reaper resides in Pandora's Box, and if anyone he deems unworthy opens the box, their soul is devoured and sent to hell.
 * Well Intentioned Extremist Some of the Cardinals tend to go a bit overboard with the idea of restoring the Church to being the dominant authority on the continent. There are also some who aren't very keen on the idea of a demon officially marrying into royalty of a kingdom.
 * Ye Olde Butcherede Englishe They all talk like this.

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


 * Big Good He's actually a fair man. He was one of the ones who had no problem with Lute marrying Shamsiel from the beginning.
 * Cool Old Guy He enjoys his job.
 * Genre Savvy He knows that opening Pandora's Box is suicide to most people (probably himself included). Hence he doesn't allow it to leave his possession, and when it does, he gets quite upset, because it is too dangerous to just let handled freely.
 * Reasonable Authority Figure: One of the few of his colleagues who actually is one consistently.
 * Saintly Church: He at least tries to live up to this standard.
 * What the Hell Hero He knows Nigolinov is corrupt, and yet he lets him stay in the council. Why?
 * Then again, when Nigolinov gets his comeuppance, he doesn't shed a tear for him, so he might have been just waiting for the guy to supply the rope to hang himself with

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


 * Corrupt Church . Eventually . He complies.
 * Dirty Old Man/Dirty Old Monk He's a cardinal of the Church of Holy Rood, and claims to be a representative of God's will, and yet... When Shamsiel puts on her "queen dress", Lute notices that even Canossa is awestruck by her and is staring at her boobs.
 * Hypocrite: To such an extreme that Lute easily calls him on his shit several times.
 * For instance: He was sent to evaluate Shamsiel's worthiness of being queen, and yet from the start he was against her..
 * Kick the Dog More like "Rub the dog's nose in it". . Canossa concedes.
 * Noodle Incident That whole thing where . Apparently it would eventually be brought to light and become a historic event.
 * Took a Level In Kindness It takes... ... But he comes to respect Lute eventually.
 * What an Idiot! Lute manages to outsmart him even in knowledge of scripture!

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


 * Actually Pretty Funny Some of the jokes Lute and the others make even get him to snicker once or twice.
 * Big Good He's actually a fair man and supports Lute and Shamsiel's marriage from the start.
 * Cool Old Guy He is one of the cardinals who from the start had no problem with Shamsiel, a succubus, marrying Lute (royalty).
 * Reasonable Authority Figure He was sent with Canossa to evaluate Shamsiel, because he is this.

Cardinal Nigolinov
The leader of the Council of Cardinals of the Church of Holy Rood.


 * Asshole Victim He is the one responsible for both times Lute opened Pandora's Box. The first time, he was the one who gave it to Canossa in the first place, and the 2nd time, he had goaded Lute into opening it in his presence... A move he would come to regret, when Saint Reaper saw right through him trying to use him to kill Lute, and instead Saint Reaper devours HIS soul instead. Even his fellow cardinals think he had it coming, especially since Saint Reaper revealed Nigolinov's motives to them all.
 * Big Bad Of the Cardinals of the Church, he's the most corrupt of the bunch. He's taking bribes/orders from Marquis Cuvier.
 * Cool Old Guy He enjoys his job.
 * Crapsack World For being a Cardinal of the Church of Holy Rood, he has this bleak outlook on the rest of the world. Such as believing there are no saints in their world.
 * Dirty Old Monk Not in the perverted way like Canossa. He's a cardinal, but he also takes bribes and orders from Marquis Cuvier. Saint Reaper picks up on this quality and devours his soul because of it.
 * Dropped a Bridge on Him He thought he'd be able to manipulate Lute into opening Pandora's Box, which would lead to his death. Saint Reaper saw right through him, and exposed this to everyone else. Saint Reaper then devours his soul, killing him and sending him to hell.
 * Evil Cannot Comprehend Good He can't fathom the notion of their being actual saints of pure souls in their world.
 * Killed Off For Real See Dropped a Bridge on Him above.
 * Nice Job Fixing It, Villain Thanks to him coercing Lute to open Pandora's Box again in the presence of the entire Council of Cardinals, Nigolinov ends up getting his soul devoured by Saint Reaper, and as for Lute? He goes from being considered a saint to them, to being seen as some sort of super-saint. Cardinal Agatha, the head of the Church of Holy Rood, even gives his official blessings upon Edelland, which would be like declaring it Holy ground, so the kingdom's status basically shot through the roof! Thanks Nigolinov. Hope it was worth it for you!

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


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

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


 * Actually Pretty Funny Lute manages to make even HIM crack a chuckle.
 * Big Good He's actually a fair man. If you open Pandora's Box, but aren't worthy, he kills you. If you open his box, but ARE worthy, he spares you. If you open the box, but someone who isn't worthy is nearby? He kills them.
 * Brutal Honesty He never lies, and you can't lie to him. He can see straight into your soul, and if you're evil/corrupt. Simply put: You're screwed.
 * Cool Old Guy He enjoys his job, and is probably thousands of years old.
 * Corrupt Church Doesn't matter who you are or how faithful you claim to be. If he looks at your soul and deems it corrupt, he WILL end you..
 * Divine Assistance He doesn't obey the whims of a mortal freely..
 * Everybody Hates Hades More like, everybody is afraid of him, despite his job being a necessary one: to transport souls to the afterlife. . Saint Reaper also deals judgement on those who have corrupt souls and spares those who have saintly ones, and HE doesn't go out of his way to find trouble. People open Pandora's Box on their own, and thus THEY seek HIM out, not the other way around.
 * Grim Reaper His entire persona is this.
 * Sealed Badass in a Can His appearance alone is enough to make even berserk ghouls and elder cardinals crap their pants. Even Shamsiel is weary of him, and for good reason. Anyone who disturbs him or is in his presence, if he deems them corrupt or to have an impure soul will be devoured by him and sent to hell.
 * Sealed Good in a Can: He wasn't this to begin with, but he agreed to serve the cause of good in the backstory and became this ever since, as the only people or beings who now die by his hands are those who are evil.
 * Sealed Evil in a Can: He's not "evil" but his judgement is absolute. If you're anything less than a saint in his eyes, and you open Pandora's Box... You. are. Screwed!
 * Roaring Rampage of Revenge His backstory is shrouded in mystery, mixing myth and legend. . Now, anyone with a corrupt soul that opens Pandora's Box, faces this from him.
 * Too Dumb to Live If you open Pandora's Box, you definitely are this, because Saint Reaper will look into your soul and if it is impure, he will devour it.

Count Roche
The embodiment of death and judgement.


 * Big Good He's actually a fair man. Except that his first impression of Lute leaves him quite disappointed, but eventually Lute demonstrates his true character and he sees Lute as a worthy and capable man/king.
 * Brutal Honesty Does telling a foreign monarch they should abdicate their throne to someone else... TO THEIR FACE... Qualify as this? Yes? Seems right, then.
 * Cool Old Guy He is actually quite nice toward those he respects. He is also a big supporter of the Knighted Bureaucracy system being implemented in Fronce. He also knew Gladys and her father for a long time, so when they first reunite in-story, they almost seem like family with them joking around and laughing together... At least until the subject of her beloved Lute came up.
 * Poor Communication Kills His first impression of Lute is a negative one. It leads to him actually telling Lute that he should abdicate the throne to Gladys instead, which even SHE gets upset about, and how poorly he judges Lute. He eventually comes around though.
 * Sinister Minister He's the Prime Minister of Fronce, although he isn't evil like Bernstein, he's quite critical of Lute for most of the story. Perhaps "Cynical Minister" is more fitting.

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


 * Actually Pretty Funny
 * Ambiguous Allegiance In the first game, they were pretty adamant about trying to hook up with men of high status or wealth in Edelland. In this one? Seems they once more ditched Motaire, went back to Fronce, and became personal maids to Queen Aphrodia. When they see or discuss those from Edelland? They get a serious case of Blue Blood.
 * Ambiguously Bi At one point, she and Droit and a few other maids are attending to Queen Aphrodia amidst her formal reception of the visitors from Edelland. Lute requests that all other men apart from himself leave the room, because he wished to show the Queen some specially made bras he had had made for her, and Shamsiel was going to model them for her. When the presentation is over, all other women in the room besides Shamsiel and Gladys are blushing and flustered.
 * Brutal Honesty

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

When the presentation is over, all other women in the room besides Shamsiel and Gladys are blushing and flustered.
 * Brutal Honesty
 * She's Got Legs She and Aristera were Motaire's groupies. There's a reason.

Sir Vital
Marquis Cuvier's top lackey.


 * The Dragon He's this to Cuvier.
 * Brutal Honesty
 * Undying Loyalty Cuvier probably couldn't ask for a more loyal lackey.

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


 * Animal Motifs Think Pepe Le Pew aka a skunk.
 * Big Bad He's to this game what Prime Minister Bernstein was to the first one.
 * Dangerously Genre Savvy He's arguably more of a threat than Bernstein ever was, because he recognizes Lute as an opponent NOT to be underestimated from the start. He's also a master manipulator, and EVEN IF everyone knows he's up to something evil, he covers his tracks so well that they can never prove nor directly link him to any of it.
 * Expy: He's basically Bernstein from the first game, just somewhat less overtly evil and far more cunning.
 * Even Evil Has Standards He is all for getting rid of Lute and anyone else that would get in the way of restoring Fronce to its former glory. However, he never does anything to go after or against his fellow Froncemen or women. Which is to say, he actually DOES worry about Queen Aphrodia's safety, and although they clash, he never makes any moves directly aimed at Aphrodia.
 * Nice Job Fixing It, Villain Thanks to his schemes and actions, by the end of the story... . Great job Cuvier.
 * Undying Loyalty On the one hand, all that he does, as far as he is concerned, he is doing for the benefit of Fronce, so that it will return to the glorious status of being THE major power of the continent. Problem is, he goes to many extremes and does many evil deeds to further this tunnel-view goal of his.
 * Well Intentioned Extremist: While Bernstein thought he was this but was obviously a power hungry prick concerning Edelland, Cuvier genuinely DOES give a damn about Fronce as a whole, not just his own standing, it's just his tunnel vision and ambition to secure this goal makes him little better.

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


 * Actually Pretty Funny They suck at their job so much that even Lute whom they try multiple times to kill, just starts laughing at them.
 * Butt Monkey These guys went from being somewhat of a threat in the first story. To being as much of a threat as a plastic bag in this one. You'd have to be REALLY stupid to manage to die by their hands.
 * Even Evil Has Standards Inverted. The reason why they're hired so much is because they're the only assassins dumb enough to take on practically any job for a little money including attempting to kill a foreign king, even with Gladys and a succubus around him, so basically as far as assassins go, you get what you pay for with them. Pay cheap? Get cheap.
 * Killed Off for Real Supposedly a few of them die during the story, and yet they show up again later, so whether that was someone new taking on the mantle of those that died or if it really WAS the same original ones is unclear.
 * Red Shirt Army There's a lot of them it seems, and considering we never see their faces, there's no way to tell if when one of them supposedly dies, if it's a new one taking their place or the old one actually survived after all.
 * Unfortunate Names At one point, they attempt to kill Lute by pretending to be foreign diplomats. Their disguise names?
 * What an Idiot! Their attempts to assassinate get sillier and more funny with each attempt:
 * For starters, their first attempt was to try and give Lute poisoned beer in Boan. Lute recognizes them by their attire, calls them out on it, Shamsiel shows up, and they're forced to turn tail and run.
 * Later on, they pose as foreign diplomats (while wearing the same outfits as always), and actually try to get Lute to "come closer and look at something". See Unfortunate Names for more details on this failure.
 * At one point they gather 5 of them and attempt to use their "ultimate move" on Lute outside of Boan, but the move winds up making them dizzy and Gladys beats them in a single blow.
 * Zero Effort Boss In this story, defeating them takes almost no effort at all.

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


 * Actually Pretty Funny How it's destroyed.
 * Gentle Giant They normally function as guardians, unless commanded to attack.
 * Nigh Invulnerability They can regenerate seemingly infinitely unless a secret phrase is spoken which causes them to disperse.
 * Sealed Evil in a Can Golems are summoned via magic-infused sand, which had been kept in a jar.
 * Sealed Army in a Can With enough sand, one can summon more than one Golem at a time.
 * Roaring Rampage of Rescue

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


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

SPOILER CHARACTER 1
Spoilered= Spoiler= Fake Succubus

A familiar summoned to impersonate Shamsiel and ruin her reputation.


 * A-Cup Angst Big time. When she tries to attack the soldiers at Vunderbalt, they immediately know she's fake just by the fact that her boobs are tiny. The real Shamsiel meets her and points this out to her, which she (the Fake Succubus) thought was a low blow.
 * Actually Pretty Funny She attempts to kill Lute in his sleep, but is thwarted when Lute reflexively kicks and hits her while still asleep. He even gets her hard in the nose, which causes her to cry. Meanwhile, the real Shamsiel was watching from the shadows and cracking up the entire time.
 * Ax Crazy She lives to kill. That's all she does. Even when she goes berserk, her only thought is to kill Lute.
 * Berserk Button She doesn't like it when people gang up on her, nor does she like it when they mock and call her names or point out that she has small titties. She also isn't fond of being hit in the face by someone she's trying to kill in their sleep.
 * Butt Monkey Poor thing. She goes through quite a bit of trouble only to fail her missions. She tried to kill Lute in his sleep, and he sleep-hits her, including a particularly hard punch in the nose that made her cry.
 * Cursed with Awesome She can't be captured by conventional means, but in the event she IS captured, she turns to dust. We never see her again after that...
 * Disney Death See Killed Off for Real and What Happened to the Mouse? below.
 * Family-Unfriendly Death Although the visual novel isn't as elaborate as a straight-up anime, the screen flashes red and blood-curdling sounds are heard whenever she kills someone, to the point you'd think she was ripping them apart. In reality, she's eating them, and when she is done, all that's left is a shriveled up pile of skin and bones. Yeesh!
 * Killed Off for Real Possibly. Her final fate is left ambiguous and unclear, unlike.
 * What Happened to the Mouse? When she, we never see her again after that, and we never know if this means she is gone for good or not.

SPOILER CHARACTER 2
Spoilered= Spoiler= Fake Shamsiel

Another familiar summoned to cause trouble and ruin Shamsiel's reputation. She originally looked like the other fake succubus.


 * A-Cup Angst Even moreso than the other Fake Succubus, which she originally looked identical to. She got so angry and fed up with her failures that she altered her appearance to look EXACTLY like the real Shamsiel, except for having Red Eyes, Take Warning.
 * Asshole Victim She's partially responsible for Shamsiel's reputation and life being almost ruined, AND she also killed at least 10 men in Vunderbalt. Her fate? Reaper devours her and the ghouls. She dies the same way as her victims... Screaming.
 * Ax Crazy She enjoys killing people far more than the other fake succubus did.
 * Bitch in Sheep's Clothing Invoked deliberately. She takes on the appearance of Shamsiel and kills many men to ruin the real Shamsiel's reputation. Only her eyes are what makes them distinguishable.
 * Glowing Eyes of Doom They're red too. You better start running.
 * Red Eyes, Take Warning It's pretty much the only genuine difference between her and the real Shamsiel.
 * Roaring Rampage of Revenge When she and the other fake Succubus go berserk, she takes on the form to look exactly like the real Shamsiel to get revenge on her for thwarting her prior attempts.

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


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

Cyclops
A demonic creature living in a forest in Fronce.


 * Actually Pretty Funny He and Lute play Rock-Paper-Scissors and then Tic Tac Toe. It's EVERY bit as funny as it sounds for a creature that looks like him.
 * Gentle Giant Despite how he looks, he's actually as afraid of others as they are of him, so he puts on a big act to try to scare or drive people off. Lute however sees through this, and exposes this side of him, and the 2 become unlikely friends even going as far as playing games together for several hours.
 * Horny Devil See those HUGE horns sticking out of his shoulders?
 * Lovable Coward As it turns out, he's actually a nice creature. He just gets so spooked by intruders in his territory that he puts on a big act and uses his brute strength to scare people away. If they aren't smart enough to run? He can throw full-sized trees at them.
 * Red Eye, Take Warning He has one BIG RED EYE, and it glows too.
