However he is dumb, has no skills in magic or sword, and willingly allow imperial soldiers to beat him and laugh at him. All of the Canaanites are disappointed at their leader, and [[TheEmpire the Holy Empire]] thinks he's a joke. Behind the scenes, [[TheResistance The Barcids Party]] are planning to set something in motion at the upcoming Ba'al festival. According to their intelligence, [[TheEmpire the Holy Empire]] are also planning to start something at the festival. They hope it would be to elevate Hispania from a rebellious province, lessen taxes, and stop all the slave work. If not, they plan to start a rebellion. Unbeknownst to everyone, [[ObfuscatingStupidity Hamil is an incredibly cunning youth]]. He wishes to prevent a rebellion at all costs, and does it by playing dumb. He [[DreamSequence sees a goddess in a dream]], wakes up to a brutal beating by soldiers for sleeping on the job, and takes another one for collapsing a pile of masonry stones on top of a soldier to distract another from beating his pal Diogenes' mother. When he finally drags his tired, wounded body home, he hears to cry of a girl. He finds her somehow having tangled her foot underneath the roots of a tree and helps free her.

->''"I'm your goddess Ashtarte. Worship me."''
-->-- '''Tart, [[OncePerEpisode Once Per Cutscene]]'''

The sequel to [[VisualNovel/TearsToTiara Tears to Tiara]], Tears to Tiara II Haou no Matsuei[[note]]Tears to Tiara II Descendent of the Hegemon[[/note]] released on October 31st, 2013. It follows a similar style of mixing mythology with Roman history, this time mixing [[CanaaniteMythology Phoenician Mythology]] with the [[PunicWars Punic Wars]].

The period is some time in the near future after the events of the first game. In the town of Tamar in central Hispania, the Canaanites are being oppressed by [[TheEmpire the Holy Empire]]. They are heavily taxed, treated as slaves, and forced to use stones from their temple to build a new church to the Almighty Watos. All because the previous governor of Hispania, Hasdrubal Barca, had revolted against the empire seven years ago and failed.

[[TheHero Hamilcar "Hamil" Barca]], son of Hasdrubal, is now leader of the Canaanites. However he is dumb, has no skills in magic or sword, and willingly allow imperial soldiers to beat him and laugh at him. All of the Canaanites are disappointed at their leader, and [[TheEmpire the Holy Empire]] thinks he's a joke. Behind the scenes, [[TheResistance The Barcids Party]] are planning to set something in motion at the upcoming Ba'al festival. According to their intelligence, [[TheEmpire the Holy Empire]] are also planning to start something at the festival. They hope it would be to elevate Hispania from a rebellious province, lessen taxes, and stop all the slave work. If not, they plan to start a rebellion. Unbeknownst to everyone, [[ObfuscatingStupidity Hamil is an incredibly cunning youth]]. He wishes to prevent a rebellion at all costs, and does it by playing dumb. He [[DreamSequence sees a goddess in a dream]], wakes up to a brutal beating by soldiers for sleeping on the job, and takes another one for collapsing a pile of masonry stones on top of a soldier to distract another from beating his pal Diogenes' mother. When he finally drags his tired, wounded body home, he hears to cry of a girl. He finds her somehow having tangled her foot underneath the roots of a tree and helps free her.

She calls herself the goddess of harvest and war Ashtarte, but is unable to use any magic, to her surprise. They spend the next day together, going to the local school Kademia ran by [[TheResistance The Barcids Party]] leader Ennead and [[VeteranInstructor Veteran Instructor Monomachus]] that is obviously teaching young people the ways of war. In the middle of a lesson, imperial soldiers come and close the school down. Ennead gives one final lesson on how to crack stone with wood, before pronouncing the students graduates.

Hamil realizes Ennead's words are a call to rebellion, and on the way home that day harshly gets Tart to leave town to prevent her being persecuted by [[CorruptChurch The Holy Church]] for calling herself a goddess. He is then approached by [[KnightTemplar Zaras]], who plans to use him, as the last of the Barcid family, to at the Ba'al festival, taking place on the turn of the next day, to bait out and destroy the Barcid party. Hamil continues to play dumb and goes along with Zaras' plans in order to prevent the destruction of war falling on Hispania.

At the festival, Zaras gives a completely unexpected announcement: the people of Hispania would be stripped of imperial citizenship and treated as slaves under the control of [[CorruptChurch The Holy Church]]. Then Zaras unveils another surprise. Tart has been captured and is about to be burnt at the stake for calling herself a goddess.
For seven years, he has prepared for this Ba'al festival. He is prepared to die and sacrifice the entire [[TheResistance Barcids Party]] if it meant preventing a rebellion. But with Tart unconscious, about to be burnt alive before him, Hamil breaks the facade, gives into his anger, and summon forth the [[SuperpoweredEvilSide God of War Melqart]].

The rebellion has begun.

!!This series provides examples of:
* ActionGirl: All female characters.
** Of 7 female characters in the Character Introduction, 4 are front line fighters. This is ''higher'' than the percentage of male front line fighters to support [[note]]50%[[/note]]
* AllMythsAreTrue
* AxCrazy: [[SuperpoweredEvilSide God of War Melqart]], appropriately. Also Izebel.
* BattleCouple: Hamil and Tart.
* {{BFS}}: Tart probably wouldn't be able to even lift hers if she wasn't the ''Goddess of War''.
* ClapYourHandsIfYouBelieve: [[TheHero Hamil]] raises the battle cry of Ashtarte, and all Canaanites at the Ba'al Festival follows suit. This empowers Tart, which prevents both her and Hamil from being burnt alive.
* TheCavalry: Tart summons one in the form of Elven elephants and Taros.
* FantasyCounterpartCulture: Like [[VisualNovel/TearsToTiara the first game]], a Classical setting, this time around the Western Mediterranean.
* GlacierWaif: Tart. Justified in that she's the ''Goddess of War''.
* GodsNeedPrayerBadly: The reason Tart at first could not cast even a single heal spell and is no different from a teenage girl. Her people are forced by [[TheEmpire the Holy Empire]] to worship Watos, and her temples are torn down to build churches. Only by [[TheHero Hamil]]'s desperate pleas for guidance was she even able to take form. [[spoiler:Part of]] her powers come back to her on the Canaanites' battle cry of Ashtarte, and prevents both of them from being burnt alive.
* ObfuscatingStupidity: [[TheHero Hamil]] pretends to be a dumb, unambitious youth lacking any sword skills, magical powers, or will to avenge his father or frees his people. He did this for seven years to prevent a rebellion by [[TheResistance the Barcid Party]] for as long as he could, and at the same time save up enough magic to give [[SuperpoweredEvilSide Melqart]] enough power to defeat [[TheEmpire the imperial army]] if the rebellion does occur. He throws off the disguise to save Tart.
* OurGodsAreGreater: Expanded on from [[VisualNovel/TearsToTiara the first game]], the people of Hispania worship the gods of [[CanaaniteMythology Ba'al]], of which Ashtarte is one. They take physical form to teach and guide the people. [[GodsNeedPrayerBadly They need prayer to be powerful]]. Watos [[HaveYouSeenMyGod is still missing]].
* RefusalOfTheCall: [[TheHero Hamil]] [[ObfuscatingStupidity plays dumb to prevent a rebellion]], and was willing to let the [[KnightTemplar Zaras]] kill him and the entire [[TheResistance Barcid Party]] and enslave all the people of Hispania if it meant preventing the death and destruction of war. It was seeing Tart about to be burnt at the stake that changed his mind.
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: Subverted. [[TheHero Hamil]] pretends to fly into one [[YouKilledMyFather on seeing Izebel]] at the beginning of the assault on the bridge of Eburon, but is actually just buying time for the rest of the assault team to destroy the bridge. Once the destruction of the bridge is certain, he almost flies into a real one.
* ShownTheirWork: Surpassing [[VisualNovel/TearsToTiara the first game]]. The amount of details corresponding to the Classical period, the Punic Wars, and Phoenician mythology is amazing.
** TheHero is based on Hannibal Barca but named after his father. Monomachus is a real life Carthaginian general under Hannibal. Enneads is a book on Neoplatonism. Dion is short for Diogenes. Charis is one of the three Graces. Ashtarte, Tanit, Eshmun and Melqart are all real Phoenician gods, [[spoiler:and were really at one time thought of as two gods, Tanit-Ashtarte and Eshmun-Melqart.]]
** Tamar is roughly Toletum. Eburon is Emporion. Tartetos is Tartessus, one of the earliest Phoenician colonies on the Iberian Peninsula. Cemenelum, part of modern Nice, was the capital of the Roman province of Alpes Maritimae. Imperial Capital Alba Longa, based on Rome, is named after the real city state that founded the Latin League and was a major rival to Rome. Carthage appears with its Phoenician name of Qart Hadast.
* SuperpoweredEvilSide: The God of War Melqart, who [[TheHero Hamil]] summon to take possession of his body by promising the blood and destruction of [[TheEmpire The Holy Empire]]. Ennead and Monomack describes the technique as going berserk. At the Ba'al festival, Melqart wipes out an entire squad of Golmes in one blow, [[AxCrazy fights without concern for collateral damage, laughs as he effortlessly deflects fire arrows of imperial soldiers, and forgets all about protecting Tart]] until she sings. Not that she was actually in any danger by that point.
* TrojanPrisoner: [[TheHero Hamil]] orders the assault force to take the main characters prisoner before the bridge at Eburon in order to infiltrate the imperial base. With a small dose of WoundedGazelleGambit.
* UnstoppableRage: [[TheHero Hamil]] flies into one on seeing Tart tied at the stake about to be burnt alive. He raises the cry of rebellion and summon forth the [[SuperpoweredEvilSide God of War Melqart]].
