''The Royal Trap'' is an English VisualNovel / OtomeGame featuring an unusually active heroine and a twist on traditional gender roles. In this world, men rule, but women inherit. Property is passed to daughters and from them to the control of their husbands. That means, the next king is whoever the princess chooses as her husband... so any man with an eye for power has to catch the interest of the lady who controls it.

!!Tropes specific to this game:
*ActionGirl: Madeleine's job requires her to be able to climb walls, pick locks, and if absolutely necessary, fight to defend her charge. However, she's no soldier.
*BishieSparkle: Prince Gaston
*BlindWithoutEm: [[spoiler: Prince Nazagi]] has terrible vision without his glasses but [[TheGlassesGottaGo refuses to wear them]] because he thinks no princess would find him attractive in spectacles.
*DamselInDistress: Princess Cassidy spends a lot of the story being kidnapped or otherwise locked up.
*DualWielding: Madeleine fights with a pair of daggers.
*HeirClubForMen: Inverted - inheritance is only passed to women, so despite having older brothers, Princess Cassidy is the heir of Gwellinor, and the next in line is her female cousin.
*PrincessClassic: Princess Cassidy is kind, forgiving, and rather ''too'' innocent. She wears a pretty pink dress, loves flowers and poetry, and is completely non-violent. [[spoiler: And still a subversion.]]
*WomenAreWiser: The world's justification for having daughters receive the family property and give their "wisdom" to their husbands.
