* KickTheSonOfABitch: Literally. In chapter 196, tired of Prince Vitou forcing himself into a party with her, she gets on her tip-toes, reaches up to him like she's going to kiss him and then kicks him with enough force to send him flying out of the dungeon, then proceeds to lose him and his "hero" spies so she can have a bit of time to herself away from him.

* AccidentalMarriage: When she can no longer hide from the dragon that's attracted to her LustObject title, he goes full-tilt AndNowYouMustMarryMe. She tries to, politely, get him to back the hell off by pointing out how she's 1.) Human, 2.) Already engaged, even if it is against her will. 3.) Magically bound to the land she's on and absolutely not interested. He comes back with a bunch of BlueAndOrangeMorality InsaneTrollLogic arguments that are entirely contradictory to each other to justify why she has no right to say "no." Having had enough, she comes at him with a weapon in a rage, he retaliates by coming at her with claws. End result: Their respective manas temporarily fuse and she's granted [The Dragon's Bride] title, to her shock and disgust.

* PokeThePoodle: Since she's under a curse where she can't retaliate against the Orzark guildmaster's heinous acts directly or indirectly, by physical or reputational harm, she goes for psychological torture. Not only does she reveal that she knows all of his embarrassing secrets, but spreads the word around the town of Orzark that they should all refer to him by one of his most embarrassing nicknames, without explaining the cause, and gifts him a little statue enchanted to make him remeber every single humiliation his foolish acts brought him during his checkered adventuring past. Maybe getting blasted by Naoko's magic would have been more merciful.

* SympathyForTheHero: When Vitou learns that the reason his father pushed him into a ShotgunWedding with Naoko is nothing more than a PretextForWar with the country of Vilikis, completely ignoring the fate of the citizens, he has a complete and total meltdown, causing Naoko to let him cry his eyes out and lets him sleep beside her until he regains his composure the next morning, but makes it clear that she'd like their relationship to be JustFriends, and does not want to marry him, ever.

* ArgumentumAdNauseam: The entire premise for his "logical" rebut to Naoko's extreme disinterest in marrying him is simply repeating that she's his fated bride destined to bear his children over and over again until she gets tired of refuting him, at which time he will take her silence or violence as consent. It does not help that the RPGMechanicsVerse ''actively agrees with this'', slapping Naoko with the [Bride of Dragon] title against her will.

* DramaticallyMissingThePoint: Combined with CompletelyMissingThePoint. He thinks the bulk of Naoko's rage is due to the fact that he cleaned out her extra-dimensional inventory, acting like a common brigand as he ranked her up against her will while she was magically paralyzed. So he left all her monster materials behind, and completely side-steps the issue of paralyzing Naoko to rank her up in the first place, and completely overlooks the meals Naoko was carrying in her inventory that he threw to the ground and ruined. After the Archduke assures him that Naoko can't harm him, and then he sets her loose, he then chooses to man the counters because Naoko showed him that she can still make his life uncomfortable by tainting his office with the scent of rotting meat, at which point he tells Nino that he doesn't understand why she's angry as he hasn't stolen anything...

* {{Adorkable}}: In universe. He's quite charming to both Naoko and the fanbase precisely because his romantic overtures are socially clumsy but sincere, and he genuinely respects Naoko's boundaries and free agency, happy to get whatever affection he can.

She later reveals that she's very judicious in doing this because Dragons are beings made of mana and getting too frisky could easily lead to a SurprisePregnancy, which she's not ready for, yet.

* DemonicPosession: The patron goddess that brought him to the world takes over his body in the middle of the night, shambles it over to Prince Vitou and tells him that he's on the brink of destroying his nation, using the ''exact'' same terms Naoko did when she warned him he was going too far in trying to force her into marriage with himself. Rather than take this as a warning to leave Naoko alone, and let her cool off, hopefully forgetting about all his transgressions, this only makes him more paranoid and desperate to tie her down by marrage to himself.

* AwakeningTheSleepingGiant: Which he's constantly warned against by many, including his own mother, Tenryu, and ''even the patron goddess who brought Nakajima to the world''. Of course, he's got his head shoved so far up his backside, that every time he hears the warning, he becomes ''more'' determined to the path he's warned not to go down, full-tilt SelfFulfillingProphecy style.

* SelfFulfillingProphecy: The primary reason he's desperately trying to dominate Naoko and drag her to the altar, kicking and screaming, is that he sees her as far too strong, and wants to make sure she doesn't turn on the kingdom. This is precisely what makes her rebel, making her seek ''even more power'' so she can break free of the chains he and his buddy Tenryu are holding her down with, which in turn makes him even more desperate to chain her down. His mother has already warned him that if this vicious cycle continues, Vitou shouldn't be surprised if Naoko bolts and flees the country entirely. Vitou responds by lying to her and himself by stating that Naoko doesn't hate him, he thinks...

* HiddenAgendaVillain: Forcing Naoko to marry Vitou is ''not'' his end-game, if he even has an end-game, despite how much Vitou deludes himself otherwise. When Vitou uses a magic signal flare to summon him, hoping that Tenryu would force Naoko out of the Dragon Eye lake, where she's collecting discared dragon scales and visiting her in-laws, on Fulgur's side, he brushes off Vitou and helps Naoko instead.

* BadPeopleAbuseAnimals: If his treatment of animals is any indication of what kind of a husband and father he'll be, Naoko is right to not want to give him an heir, ever. His pet wyvern, Sharp Beak, is a prime example. The poor animal was sold to him, to Naoko's regret, when he abused royal authority to make her sell it to him, as an egg, and Naoko's sworn to never sell him any others. Not only has Vitou used an unseen magic ritual to artificially age it to maturity, thus all but guaranteeing that it will never mature mentally, but he's fond of locking it in cages of earth, fire, or even lightning when it's hurt and scared to keep it from running away... and he can't bring himself to understand why Naoko wants nothing to do with him.

When she learns from Naoko how Prince Vitou and King Erik are scheming to put her into an AwfulWeddedLife, both men have their fortunes sour in a hurry. The only ways to get out of this are to flee the area of effect and stay out of it, or to have her completely forgive you, and the latter is stated by Vitou to be very, very difficult.

* {{Narcissist}}: The only person he truly loves is himself. He sees himself as a great catch and thus his "affection" to Naoko is merely a self-delusion that she will eventually swoon all over him.

He can't fathom why his actions are at fault for the fact that Naoko hates him.

He argues insistently that she's his destined bride and wouldn't take "no" for an answer, even surprising himself when the marriage ritual even he admits she shouldn't have possibly known about goes off without a hitch, he insists on calling Naoko "my bride" every chance he gets, and he even tried to hug and kiss her by ambush once, winding up face-planting a wall when she dodged him, but everyone who takes the time to get to know him ultimately finds him charming because he's a great chef, actually respects Naoko's boundaries, understands that "no means no," and quietly lets Naoko come to him when she needs his help instead of trying to treat her like a trophy and forcing his "help" on her whether she wants it or not.
