History VisualNovel / LoveEsquire

[[caption-width-right:350:The squire, & the five main love interests, recreating Michelangelo's ''The Creation of Adam''.]]

* AdultFear: [[spoiler:Amelia's mother used to insist she was fine even when she was sick, and she was always working and doing her best; her mother seemed to be invincible. Then she died one day, and ever since then, Amelia has been absolutely terrified of either losing someone to sickness, or losing the Squire to being killed in the upcoming war. Amelia has been putting on a brave face and trying to be helpful to the Squire all this time to distract herself from her fear of losing him. After Amelia and the Squire talk it out, she decides that if the Squire can participate in the war despite being afraid himself, then Amelia can face her fears of sickness and war head-on.]]

* BeneathTheMask: The squire really looks up to Sir Grand, a female knight who works for Princess Beatrice. Sir Grand is usually decked out in an armor and a mask, but if you play a certain route, you eventually find out who she is: [[spoiler:She's a combination of Matilda, a spirit possessing the armor, and Vel Scharfe, one of your possible love interests, who needs to wear the armor so it can move.]]

* ChainmailBikini: It's mentioned during an event that warriors of the kingdom used to wear such armour due to the belief it would bring the protection of their [[LoveGoddess patron god]] by exposing their bodies. [[RealityEnsues It did not.]]

** Amelia Boden is normally a bright and cheery girl, but [[spoiler:in part she's putting on a brave face and smiling all the time since she thinks it'll make her more like her deceased mother, who died of an illness. Then to make matters even worse, if you play Amelia's route, Kamala eventually reveals that the "medicine" Amelia's mother thought she was taking was actually poison, so her mother didn't actually die of an illness after all; she was ''murdered''.]]

* TheProtagonist: You play as Hugh's squire, whose goal is to become a worthy knight (and to seek a romantic relationship).

* SnipeHunt: Hugh convinces the Squire to go on expeditions in the forest to find the rare "Ocarina of Love", an instrument said to bring people closer together. [[spoiler: It turns out to be RealAfterAll when all the slimes, wolves and bandits have been coordinating together because of the ringleader using it to brainwash them.]]

** Of the "Ocarina of Love" subplot, [[spoiler:Varetear RavenwayxXx.]]

** Amelia Boden is normally a bright and cheery girl, but [[spoiler:in part she's putting on a brave face and smiling all the time since she thinks it'll make her more like her deceased mother, who died of an illness.]]

* GuideDangIt: Amelia Boden's route can be the hardest to unlock, because while her first and second arcs can be completed without difficulty, you need to do something counter-intuitive to unlock her third arc: [[spoiler:most of the time a girl's next mandatory/required event will be marked by a red !. But after Amelia's "finding medicine in the apron" event, the next event you need to unlock does ''not'' have a red !: you need to wait for a day when Amelia visits the Infirmary between 1:00 and 4:00, and visit and talk to Amelia then.]]

* IShallTauntYou: If the squire wants enemies to attack him instead of Hugh during a turn, he can use the "Taunt" command to first stick out his tongue and then slap his rear.

** Giselle Renouve [[spoiler:was captured by bandits as a child along with her mentor, the former Knight Surgeon Donis. The bandits tortured both her and Donis into creating the Drowser drug, so in the present day, the reason Giselle is on a quest to create a cure for the drug is out of guilt at having ''made'' the drug in the first place.]]

* FantasticDrug: [[spoiler:Drowser, a drug that both acts quickly and is highly addictive, so this is an extremely dangerous fantastic drug. Giselle is on a personal quest to develop a cure for drowser addiction, especially since her former mentor Donis has also become addicted to this drug.]]

* ItsAllMyFault: [[spoiler:Kamala feels this way about her temper, even when it leads her to do good deeds, and Vel feels this way about her role in the fall of Bordemer, which she copes with by pursuing Matilda's ideas of justice and strength.]]

* LovePotion: The Ocarina of Love's rumored effect. [[spoiler:While the Ocarina of Love turns out to be real, this is [[SubvertedTrope subverted]] in practice, as all the ocarina does is give the squire an "affection boost" with a woman. As Hugh explains, you still have to earn the woman's love naturally, so if you mess up badly (i.e. picking a wrong dialogue choice), then "no magic in the world can help you."]]
