This is now Just For Fun, and should not be listed as a trope.


* RecycledInSpace: The game's premise is very similar to another of Voltage's visual novels, ''VisualNovel/MySweetBodyguard'', in a medieval fantasy setting. Both games involve a normal girl finding out that she's actually the daughter of an important political figure (the king in this game, the Prime Minister of Japan in MSB), being assigned a team of protectors, and falling in love with one of them over the course of the story.

Added DiffLines:

* BowAndSwordInAccord: Haku is equally skilled with a bow and a sword, and meets the 'morally flexible' qualifications as well. [[spoiler: It's a good thing he fell in love with the Princess, as it's implied that he wouldn't have been bothered by her fate after he betrays her otherwise.]]

Added DiffLines:

* NeverGetsDrunk:
** Gaia orders beer by the ''barrel''. He is shown to get a bit tipsy on his route after an unspecified amount of drinking, but it's not so much that he's at all impaired.
** Surprisingly enough, the protagonist also has a remarkably high tolerance for alcohol, to the point that she's able to keep up with Gaia. This is particularly impressive given that she's a lot smaller than he is.

* 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.]]

Added DiffLines:

''Someone'', however, has an interest in making sure that she never makes it there, and with the men in black robes a constant threat along their route to the palace, the protagonist must choose one of the knights to be her personal protector in order to make sure she makes it out of the situation alive.

Added DiffLines:

* RomanticRunnerUp: Haku falls for the protagonist during Lute's path, bringing the two of them into conflict at points when Haku's frustration with Lute's denseness boils over.


Added DiffLines:

* ShipperOnDeck: Haku in Gaia's route is very supportive of the protagonist's efforts to get closer to Gaia, and acts as her wingman on several occasions.

Added DiffLines:

* BrilliantButLazy: Shion is the most intellectual of the knights, but he's also profoundly disinterested in exerting any more effort than he absolutely has to. Left to his own devices, he'd likely spend all of his time reading and sleeping.

* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: Once she begins her life as a princess, the protagonist is very keenly interested in doing whatever she can to improve her kingdom's quality of life and help solve the problems faced by its citizen. Given her humble upbringing, she is not surprisingly entirely willing to pitch in and work to get things done, from personally overseeing the development of an irrigation system to save a village's orchards to personally fundraising for public works projects to going undercover in another village in an effort to find proof that the local count is abusing his people and misusing government money.

* 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.

** StoicWoobie: Gaia is often viewed with mistrust and suspicion by the people of the country he serves because of the events involving his father, the previous Knight Commander, and he has a lot of conflicting feelings about [[spoiler:his father's supposed betrayal]], but he bears all of it in stoic silence and almost never lets on how much it troubles him.

* SinisterMinister: Father [=McRoy=] in Gaia's route initially tries to pose as a kindly GoodShepherd, but the veneer doesn't last once it's revealed that [[spoiler:he's responsible for the death of Gaia's father and for covering up what happened so that the rest of the kingdom believes Gaia's father was a traitor]].

* TwentyFourHourArmor: {{Justified}} - Gaia believes in being prepared for anything and thinks nothing of sacrificing his own comfort to do so, which means staying in his armor and sleeping sitting against a wall with sword in hand rather than making use of an available bed. Later in his route, there are a couple of instances where he actually does shed his armor for a little while.

* NotSoAboveItAll: Lute does his best to keep Haku, Ken, and Shion in line, but occasionally he can't help but join in the shenanigans, such as in Gaia's route when he scolds them about laughing at the cat [[HeadPet perching on Gaia's head]] only to laugh himself.

* HorsingAround: Dragon's antagonistic behavior towards Haku during the latter's route makes for a lot of this.
