A very blunt and honest [[H Game-game]], ''Conquering the Queen'' is the story of wandering mercenary Vincent Conquer, Vince to his friends, an incredibly skilled swordsman whose only goal in life is to use his strength and wits to win power and glory for himself. Fortunately for Vince, he also possesses the second key ingredient for success: being in the right place at the right time. The land he is travelling through plays host to two warring nations, [[The Empire|Eclipse]] and [[The Kingdom|Katusha]] and he sees an opportunity to sell his services to the heavily outmatched Katushan army. While trying to figure out how to accomplish this, he overhears an attack in progress and moves to investigate.
 
Coincidentally, the unfortunate victim is Princess Roxana Katusha, Sana to ''her'' friends, and Vince proceeds to cut down the attacking bandits and save her from a terrible fate. While escorting her back to her home, Vince begins plotting to achieve his dreams and make the young and innocent princess his own, all in one fell swoop.
Line 16:
* [[H-Game POV Character]]: Vince starts off at V but jumps to VI if playing the Dark route.
* [[Heroic Sacrifice]]: In one of the endings, Sarah offers her body to Vince in exchange for saving Katusha from her son, justifying breaking her vow of chastity by claiming it is for the good of the nation. Vince doesn't buy it and inwardly speculates that she is sexually frustrated.
* [[Hoist Byby His Own Petard]]: Emely is hoist by hers. In almost all cases, her dependence on magic and her love of manipulation proves to be her undoing.
* [[Hypnotic Eyes]]: Vince's evil eye works this way, robbing the target of their strength and will to resist. Later on, in the Dark route, it gets upgraded to the point where he can exert more control on his targets and affect many at once.
* [[I Call Him "Mister Happy"]]: In the interest of giving this entry a modicum of respectability, we shall refrain from subjecting readers to Vince's habit of calling it various combinations of meat and medieval weaponry.
Line 34:
* [[The Uriah Gambit]]: Done to Matilda's brother Ed, and Vince does not even try to hide it - {{spoiler|because he is trying to provoke her into doing something she will regret}}.
* [[Vetinari Job Security]]: Although he does not ask for much, Vince gets commissioned as an officer and ultimately makes himself so indispensable to Katusha's war strategy that he can't be easily removed, for fear that he will defect to Eclipse along with all of their secrets.
* [[Villain Withwith Good Publicity]]: Vince is well aware of this trope and always tries to make sure to invoke it whenever possible.
* [[Villain Protagonist]]: Vince.
* [[Wrong Genre Savvy]]: Roxana thinks of Vince as a [[Prince Charming]] and seems to think she's engaged in some sort of [[Courtly Love]] with him. While some endings are more or less cruel to her (the Dark route being particularly harsh), if you've read all the entries before this you can probably guess she's very, very wrong no matter what ending.
