''A Knight's Devotion'' is a RomanceGame VisualNovel by Creator/VoltageInc for iOS and Android devices. A Westernized adaptation has also been released by Voltage Entertainment USA under the title ''Knight of My Heart''.
The game takes place in the fantasy kingdom of Rapier, where the protagonist has grown up as a simple village girl raised by her grandmother. When strange men in black robes attack her village and she is rescued by a group of royal knights, she learns that she is actually the daughter of the king, raised in secret in order to ensure her safety. Now she is of age and the king has collapsed, and these five knights have arrived to take her back to the palace in order to assume her role as princess.
!!A Knight's Devotion contains examples of the following tropes:
* AffectionateNickname: The protagonist always calls Ken "Kenny".
* AnachronismStew: The setting can be taken as vaguely analogous to late 16th or early 17th century Europe with some Japanese flavor here and there, but mostly there's not much effort put into any kind of consistent historical accuracy. ''Knight of My Heart'' makes a little more of an effort, adapting the setting to one more directly based on period France.
* BigEater: All of the knights pack away a ''lot'' of food when given the opportunity. On Gaia's route, it forces the ship they're taking to make an unscheduled stop to resupply after the group goes through more of their provisions than they'd expected.
* {{Bowdlerize}}: ''Knight of My Heart'' mostly duplicates the original version's CGs in a Western art style, but in adapting Haku's rout, Voltage USA removed a CG of the two of them in a hot spring and replaced it with a tamer scene.
* ChildhoodFriendRomance: Potentially with Ken, for loose values of "childhood" given that he was already in his mid to late teens by the time he moved to her village.
* DaddyHadAGoodReasonForAbandoningYou: [[spoiler:Gaia's DisappearedDad actually died pulling a YouShallNotPass to save a small village from a surprise attack by enemy forces who planned to use it as a staging point for an invasion of the kingdom of Rapier. The message he sent to the castle was intercepted, and the villagers were blackmailed into silence by [=McRoy=]. By the end of Gaia's route they're able to reveal his father's heroism and restore his reputation.]]
* DisappearedDad: Gaia's father was a renowned knight who disappeared under suspicious circumstances during an attack by a neighboring kingdom, leading most people - including Gaia - to believe that he betrayed Rapier to the enemy.
* DubNameChange: ''Knight of My Heart'' renames all of the characters to fit a French theme. Lute becomes Alexandre, Shion becomes Jacques, Haku becomes Henri, Ken becomes Philippe, and Gaia becomes Nicolas.
* KingIncognito: [[spoiler:When the protagonist finally meets her father the king, she recognizes him as a peddler who visited her village once a year, a disguise he adopted in order to see her.]]
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Ken and sweet buns.
* SurpriseIncest: Subverted. [[spoiler:Halfway through Ken's route, information comes to light that Ken is the king's illegitmate son. It gives him and the protagonist a very uncomfortable time for a few chapters, but ultimately the king clears matters up and confirms that Ken is, as he'd originally thought, the son of one of his knights.]]
