* TheWomanWearingTheQueenlyMask: An interesting and subdued {{Deconstruction}}. After losing her husband, the Queen of Gabylonia fell into a state of depression. She relied heavily on Reginald to handle the day-to-day affairs of the kingdom. Not long after this, and likely around the same time as losing Justin's mother, Reginald proposes the abolishment of knighthood in the kingdom. The queen signs this proposition into law in the hopes that no other may suffer the same fate as her king did (who fell in battle). The events of the present day show that she has deep and serious regrets on doing this.

* EvenEvilHasStandards: Crosses with YouHaveOutLivedYourUsefulness. Heraclio notices the "Sir" Clorex's thirst for the ransom money and cites disapproval, what with Clorex supposedly being a knight and all (somewhat hypocritical of him to say, since Heraclio himself thirsts for the past glory days of his knighthood, and his {{Revenge}} largely stems around reclaiming them). He orders his goons to kill him as he leaves, Clorex only being saved by the timely distraction of Justin and Talia.
