Go To

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/flag_albion.png

An Elven Kingdom embroiled in a major competition with the dark elf Dhala Empire over expansion and colonization of the world. Unlike their Dark Elf counterparts, they're much less oppressive towards their colonies and allied nations.

  • The Good Kingdom: Pretty much their role in the story.
    • Averted, the "Arlen Arc" actually flips this on its head by admitting (like any real nation) that Albion has had its moments of dealing with Grey-and-Gray Morality form the previous king who was certainly not a good king. The present regime is trying to move past this.
  • Fantasy Counterpart Culture: Victorian-era England with the heavy emphasis on Industrialism and also Albion represents the more positive side England's colonization efforts during said era. The capitol city looks almost identical to London down to a "Big Ben" tower.
  • Shout-Out: They are a Kingdom of High Elves and their royal palace is called "Elrond Palace"; an obvious homage to Tolkien's "Lord of the Rings" franchise that cemented "High Elves" into fantasy.

Kingdom of Albion Royalty

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/royalsuccessionproblem.png
  • Big, Screwed-Up Family: Just look at this picture, and try to understand.
  • Elites Are More Glamorous: Even in a World of Buxom High-Elf Kingdom, the Royalty of Albion are ridiculously beauty.
  • Good Is Not Nice: When in an argument with Ricard, Kai/"Major Grey" lashes out that he finds the Albion Royal family to be "scheming leaders". To his point, all three introduced have made shown vast abilities in cunning.
  • Smug Super: Most of the Royals seem to be pretty smug thanks to their positions in life.
  • Succession Crisis: Rezalia laments that Albion's Royal Family is pretty much at each other's throats for her crown. Particularly, her siblings and children.
    • Luca actually spells it out for Kai, seriously, the flowchart is insane. Ranging into Truth in Television bastard children, legal children, half-siblings, ages differences; it's beyond insane.

    Rezalia 

Queen Rezalia I of Albion

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/queenrezaliaofalbion.png
The current ruler of the Albion Kingdom, who is also aware of Kai's secret identity as Grey. She asks Kai and his group to investigate Arlen Academy and its connection to the manufacturing of Mermaid's Blood.
  • The Beautiful Elite: Being Queen, she's already elite, but she's gorgeous even compared to all the other ridiculously beautiful elites.
  • Chess Master: Kai realizes she played him into running an investigation for her with no effort.
  • The High Queen: Ruler of the Elven Albion Kingdom, and she certainly exudes Silk Hiding Steel.
  • Internal Reformist: After taking the throne, Rezalia put forth a great deal of reforms ending her father's very aggressive expansionism.
  • Mom Looks Like a Sister: Since she's an elf, despite having three grown children, looks more like their older sister than their mother. Her eldest in well in his late teens and she still appears like an older sister to him.
    • Justified with Luca, as Rezalia is Luca's older half-sister; but raised him as her own child hence the confusion on his part.
    • Double Justified as in the real world era that the series is based on, men & women (nobles especially) usually married much earlier.
  • Obfuscating Stupidity: Rezalia is very good at playing dumb to hide her Chess Master level intelligence. Her own brother even says she acts like a "Fluffy Kitten", but never forget she is The High Queen.
  • O.O.C. Is Serious Business: She's silly and sweet to hide her intelligence, but once she's serious, even Luca is taken aback.
    • When she discovers who her son Richard is associating himself with, her shock and silent fury is cold enough to put both Kai and Luca in a cold sweat.
  • Parental Substitute: She raised her younger half-brother Luca almost like a son, since he had lost his mother in childbirth. She even raised him alongside her children.
  • Secret-Keeper: She is aware that Kai Watari is a God-Cursed masquerading as Grey Enfield, but allows this as it's been nothing but beneficial to her.
  • Sins of Our Fathers: Being a good Queen, you can imagine how she feels dealing with her father's very shady legacy.
  • Smug Super: Averted, unlike her son and silblings, she doesn't hide her intelligence with smugness, but with kindness and a ditzy facade.
  • The Unfavorite: All her reforms in favor of trade and alliance building while admirable in the greater scope of things, have earned Rezalia the ire of a great many noble families that preferred her father's faster (but more destructive) ways.

    Luca 

Prince Luca Rochel Albion

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/luca_0.png
One of the princes of the Elven Kingdom of Albion, he is the leader of the Lemurian Company and is using their exploits in the war to better his chances for succeeding the throne. He blackmails Kai to continue posing as Major Grey and aiding him in the war. Though seemingly cold and ambitious, he does have the greater good at heart.
  • Aristocrats Are Evil: Averted, he's certainly ambitious but he's not evil (unless you think his threats had any weight to them) as he wishes to ascend to the throne of Albion. Problem is, he has Half-Siblings, Nephews, & a Niece to out perform so he pushes Kai in order to make his accomplishments and chances better.
  • Aw, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other: As Kai reaches a breaking point in his Identity Theft of Grey Enfield, Luca actually breaks from his smug, cynical act to reassure Kai that he is essentially "Grey" now and he has his back.
  • Big Damn Heroes: Just as Regan is about to order his troops to destroy the Labyrinth and Kai's Battle Harem with it, Luca leads Albion warships just in time to destroy their remaining cannons.
  • Chess Master: With his grand ambitions and being so behind in the race for the throne; Luca can plot and scheme with the best of them.
  • Death Glare: Gives one to Kai to make him understand the severity of casually letting more people into their secret, especially among the Albion upper-class. Needless to say, it's damn intimidating.
  • Family Relationship Switcheroo: While he calls Rezalia mother, she's actually his half-sister, but she raised him almost like a son alongside his niece and nephews.
  • Generation Xerox: Richard mentions that he's very much alike to his father, the late Emperor Drake.
  • Gilligan Cut: Just as Prince Luca says there won't be a problem in Neraia Isle if Kai doesn't confront Bred Regan, cut to Kai confronting Bred Regan for his crimes against the Nereids.
  • Good Is Not Nice: Prince Luca is Kai/"Major Grey's" superior and thus is on the "good side"; but he's so smug and sly you'd want to throttle him.
    • Also dips into Good Is Not Soft; make no mistake, Luca's a leader in a war; he needs to fight and win it, no matter the cost. He's not above bribery and threatening innocent lives to keep a valuable war asset in his service; yet all these actions are, ultimately, for the greater good.
  • It Amused Me: Many of Luca's sly actions towards Kai can be viewed as this. He is requested Sakura's hand in marriage solely cause "a fallen princess is still a princess" but he was positive, she'd refuse; he still wanted to see her reaction.
    • Averted however, despite Luca's enjoyment, every action this man takes has a larger purpose in furthering his goals.
  • Jerk with a Heart of Gold: When first introduced, you'd be forgiven for believing Prince Luca is an opportunistic bastard only interested in claiming the throne; but his actions show he actually does care about ending the war and stabilizing all the colonies/allied Kingdoms.
  • Massive Numbered Siblings: Invoked, Luca has three siblings (all to different mothers). Also two nephews, & a niece that he was raised alongside as a "sibling".
  • Not So Above It All: The man bleeds charisma but Luca is not above poking and prodding others for fun
  • O.O.C. Is Serious Business: Luca is usually smug, but the events of the "Arlen arc" show a much more serious and compassionate side of him to the audience.
  • Pet the Dog: During a moment of realism for Kai, Luca surprisingly offers words of encouragement to Kai instead of his usual antics
  • Reasonable Authority Figure: More like an UNreasonable Authority Figure, he blackmails Kai to continue posing a Grey lest he throws Sakura out and send Ligia on a suicide mission. However, he does wish to end the war and sees reclaiming Adarl Kingdom as beneficial to him so he aids Kai as best a superior can.
  • Sins of Our Fathers: Much like his sister, Luca often feels this way about his connection to King Drake's legacy. Many claim Luca reminds them a lot of him which he doesn't appear to appreciate.
  • Smug Super: Luca just delights in making Kai uncomfortable, but unlike other examples, he knows when to stop.
  • Spare to the Throne: Given he is Sixth in line for the throne, Luca is trying to invoke this trope; and it's working according to the Albion Royals.
  • Undying Loyalty: Make no mistake, Luca wants the throne of Albion, but he is loyal to his mother-figure/sister/Queen.

    Richard 

Prince Richard Elvara Albion

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/richard_0.png
The 1st Crown Prince of the Albion Kingdom who meets Kai at Arlen Royal Military Academy. Unlike his Uncle Luca, he seems much more reasonable. He is first in line for the Albion throne
  • Abdicate the Throne: If he really wants to marry the girl he loves, he will have to abandon his title as Crown Prince, for her country only allows nobility to marry people from other countries if they abdicate their titles.
    • Subverted though as Luca knows any country would make an exception for royalty such as himself leading many to believe there is more going on.
  • Chess Master: Averted Richard seems to think he is one, but he not only PALES in comparison to his mother and uncle, but even Kai can easily see through his schemes.
  • The Dreaded: Noel sees Richard as one and vows to ensure he never takes the Albion throne.
  • Family Relationship Switcheroo: While they were raised together and refer to each other as brothers, Luca is actually his uncle, being the child of Richard's grandfather with a mistress.
  • Harmful to Minors: Being sent to lead a military campaign at twelve years old and watching his soldiers slaughter innocent people, among them the island's ruler along with his (surrendering) wife and child, did not do wonders for his mind.
  • Hopeless Suitor: He is so love-struck with Celestia that he will happily sacrifice his crown, morals, and his country to protect her. She not only openly rejects his advances, but is too busy running a drug addled sex-cult, funded by their nations' enemies, that will sooner or later result in the conquest and enslavement of their nations if it's not stopped.
  • Love Makes You Dumb: Richard has feelings for Celestia, and the actions he's taking on her behalf are shady at best which could cost his family their crown!
    • During an insurrection, Richard (who had been investigating the potential uprising) maps everything out of his superiors, but leaves out Celestia's obvious mastermind status cause he is so in love.
  • My God, What Have I Done?: His reason for not wanting the crown is his guilt over Albion's brutal annexation of the Erin Isles, especially once he learned that the pretense his grandfather used for the invasion was fabricated.
  • Nice Guy: He's rather friendly and recognizes Kai's hidden talents to avoid a fight.
    • Slightly Averted, he is a nice guy but a lot of it is a front. He is just as capable in the arts of cunning and deception as the rest of his family to further his goals. Even his own mother jokingly states suspecting him of such things is never unfounded.
  • Please Kill Me if It Satisfies You: When Noel, holding him at sword-point, tells him that she is the daughter of the Lord of the Erin Isles, he refuses to defend himself and outright tells her to kill him because of the massive guilt he feels.
  • Refusal of the Call: Richard is first in line for the Albion Crown, but he claims he's not interested in it.
  • Screw the Rules, I Have Money!: Kai realizes Richard pretty much has donated enough money to the Arlen Academy to grant himself the ability to do pretty much whatever he wants; even hamper an official investigation from his own mother the Queen.
  • Shell-Shocked Veteran: Dear God, Richard was just a young boy when his grandfather allowed him to plan the Conquest of Erin and forced him to watch as his men brutally executed the unarmed & surrendering Lord's family. Naturally this would have a very negative impact on the boy's psyche, but discovering the pretense that sparked the invasion he was in charge of was all Blatant Lies made the PTSD even worse.
  • The Unfavorite: To his peers, he is popular, but to his own mother, she calls him an idiot and is not pleased with his actions. Going as far as to even joke about his virtue.
    • Justified as his actions could cost his mother her crown!
  • Unwitting Pawn: As a 12 year old, he was eager to earn his grandfather's praise, like all good kids. This was used to make him lead an armed invasion of the Erin Isles. Only after countless innocents were killed did he learn the truth from a loose-lipped minister, destroying his innocence and leaving him a guilt-ridden wreck.

    Katz 

Katz Valor

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/katzvalor.png
Luca's & Rezalia's half brother, fifth in line for the throne of Albion. Katz and his son Keats are leading opposers of Rezalia's rule in Albion.
  • The Beautiful Elite: Averted, as opposed to Katz's family (both male & female), Katz is morbidly obese, bald, and lacks the characteristic beauty mark.
  • Chess Master: It seems to run in the family after all, but to what degree is currently unknown.
  • Crocodile Tears: To rub salt into the wound of his siblings and to elevate himself amongst the Albion Parliament, Katz utilizes this tactic to appear sympathetic, but it's clear he doesn't care of their woes.
  • Fair-Weather Friend: He sees his daughter in law as a very useful asset to him, as she made his political party as one of if not the strongest in the Kingdom. However, when she was outwitted by Luca and her numerous crimes od debauchery are revealed, he quickly abandons her to her fate.
    • To be fair, his abandonment of Doris was not only the smartest thing for him to do politically and even morally with her crimes revealed and how serious they were; it is also currently unknown if he was even aware of her debauchery.
  • Fat Bastard: Just look at him and read the rest of these tropes and it's self explanatory.
  • Obfuscating Stupidity: Katz's go to strategy; Kai and Luca note that Katz acts like a "kindhearted buffoon" but it's clear he's just as much the Chess Master as his siblings.
  • Sins of Our Fathers: Averted, unlike the majority of his family, Katz actually approves of his late father's aggressive expansionism and wishes to take the throne from his sister to go back to these methods.
  • The Starscream: Even before his proper introduction, Katz is all but set up as one for the Albion protagonists.
  • War Hawk: Katz very much wants Albion to return to it's warmongering days of his father.

    Drake 

King Drake of Albion "The Emperor"

Late King of Albion, Rezalia and Luca's father, as well as grandfather of Richard and his siblings.
  • Blatant Lies: In a bid to take over the Erin Archipelago, Drake spread numerous false rumors and lies to barely justify invading and slaughtering the people of Erin to absorb them into his kingdom. Mind you, Erin is an ancestral ally of his Kingdom so imagine how many more times he did this.
  • The Emperor: He was only a king, yet lived and acted as one, hence his moniker.
  • Evil Virtues: Honor. He would have led the invasion to Erin Isles himself, if he wasn't too old and infirm to do so. Sending Crown Prince Richard was the back-up plan.
  • Greed: According to Luca, he took what he wanted, when he wanted, be it countries, goods, or women.
  • Posthumous Character: Already dead by the time of the story, but according to Luca, it's thanks to him Albion is where it is.
  • War Hawk: He started wars with other countries to make his own prosper.

    Doris 

Senator Doris Valor

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/30_o.jpg
The widowed wife of Katz Valor's deceased eldest son Keats Valor, Doris not only rose to the position of a leading Sentor of a political party, but single-handidly saved the Valor Party, making it the strongest political party in Albion. Underneath her picture perfect image however, Doris has dark ambitions.
  • Ambition Is Evil: Doris clearly has more than her father-in-law's amibitions in mind.
  • Aristocrats Are Evil: Slightly Averted and Enforced, Doris clearly has dark amibitions beyond that of her father-in-law's, even letting it slip to "Major Grey" that she has no love for the ruling elite.
  • Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: She maintains an outward appearance of caring about the citizens regardless of race or class, even publicly insisting she’d pay for medical support of an injured child from the slums. In private, however, she’s a Fantastic Racist, who regrets only that the previous King’s campaign of conquest let in other races into the kingdom, and has a beast-kin girl gang-raped for her entertainment.
  • Boomerang Bigot: Despite being a former commoner herself, she looks down on the poor of the kingdom as filth.
  • Face of an Angel, Mind of a Demon: As many note in her introduction she’s incredibly beautiful even in a setting full of lovely women, but she’s also an elf supremacist who regularly has those of other races raped and killed for her sick entertainment.
  • Failed a Spot Check: Failed to double check and realize Manara was Luca's head housekeeper and indeed the THE Former Countess of Enfield! Meaning her "ace in the hole surprise witness" was completely in the pocket of her major political rival, which humiliated her on the stand against the hero of the Kingdom.
  • Fantastic Racism: A supporter of the previous regime’s policy of Albion High-Elf supremacy.
  • Hoist by His Own Petard: Her attempt to bring Major Grey’s grandmother as a witness to expose Kai and the royal family utterly fails because she didn’t thoroughly vet Major Grey’s grandmother as a housekeeper for that same royal family. Then almost immediately after, her crimes of having beastkin citizens raped and murdered, is publicly exposed because she attempted to do the same to Dorenea, but Shizuna secretly followed her as backup, and saved both the dwarf princess and Dorris’ last beastkin victim.
    • As she tries to deny the horrible and numerous growing accusations against her, she doesn't realize the Slaver she bought said slaves from was arrested as well and completely cooperated with authorities. He even shouts out that he warned her numerous times that she was being momumentally stupid having a rape-murder dungeon in the estate in the royal capital and buying so many slaves that there was an obvious paper trail.
  • Ms. Fanservice: Doris, even for a series defined by its fanservice, is an insanely beautiful woman, to the point where it's no secret that she uses seduction to get what she wants, easily.
  • Sanity Slippage: Her face when everything she's ever built falls apart on her and she knows her equally corrupt father in law has no doubt abandoned her.
  • Sexy Secretary: She began as Keats Valor's secretary before marrying him and becoming a senator.
  • The Un-Favorite: Unlike with the citizens of Albion, the Noble Class do not like Doris outside her seductive beauty, as they see her as an "Upstart" from the poor classes.
    • Averted, Unlike the ruling elite, the citizens of Albion love Doris, viewing her as "one of them" for rising from their poorest districts to the very top of society. This is double-subverted as her accusations against the Kingdom's hero, Major Grey Enfield, became a major point of contention with the people who equally loved Major Grey. SO when her crimes are revealed shortly after losing her case against Grey, natually she loses the people's love and trust despite her screaming she is loved by the people.
  • The Vamp: Both Richard and Noel mention the rumors aren't just rumors that Doris is not above using her incredible looks to get what she wants.
  • Villainous Breakdown: When she's outsmarted and her crimes are revelaed in front of an entire crowd of the Ruling Elite Doris absolutely loses it, shedding her dignfied mask and she lets her Fantasic Racism and Elitist ideals fly. Despite how ridiculous it sounds, Doris truly never thought she could be outsmarted and the whole Kingdom learning her crimes as she was trying to presecute the Kingdom's hero for political reasons only compounded her fall from grace.

Lemurian Company of Albion Kingdom

A Private Military Firm under the control of Prince Luca which is currently being used to fight in the war with the Dhala Empire and reclaim The fallen Adarl Kingdom. Kai (using the alias of "Major Grey Enfield") is a ranking officer in this PMC.

    Reyu 

Reyu

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/reyu.png
Prince Luca's secretary

    Manara 

Manara Enfield

Prince Luca's housekeeper who is in charge of watching over the ever growing number of Ambrosia wielders.
  • Connected All Along: The reason why she "wouldn't be a problem" for Kai? She used to be a housekeeper for the royal family and was acquainted with Prince Luca, who informed her of her grandson's passing and Kai's impersonating of him as soon as he found out.
  • I Was Quite the Looker: She's venerable in her old age, but as one of the nobles (who happened to be the judge of the trial) assembled at Grey's trial can attest, she used to have many suitors in her youth who are even now still smitten with her.
  • Rags to Riches: Implied, As Doris calls her out for working as a Housekeeper despite her nobility, she counters she comes from a longline of groundsmen and housekeepers, implying she married into higher nobility.
    • To elaborate, a Count/Countess, also known as an "Earl", in the nobility system is mid tier nobility, above Barons and Vicounts. So seeing a Countess work as essentially a head maid is shocking.
  • Secret-Keeper: As it turns out, she's not senile or anything, but she's been aware of Kai impersonating Grey for a very long time and agrees to protect Kai's secret to honor her grandson.
  • Spanner in the Works: She utterly ruins Doris Valor's attempt at discrediting Kai by vouching for him as her grandson, and any attempt Doris makes at trying to disprove her falls completely flat.
  • Widow's Weeds: She's introduced wearing black mourning clothes, implying she's still mourning for her deceased child and grandson.

    Celia 

Celia

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/celia.png
A halfling alchemist that Kai meets while looking for a way to rescue Sakura. She forms a partnership with Kai after realizing he's a Marebito.

    Dias 

Colonel Dias

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/dias.png
Captain of the Lemurian Company's newest flagship, the Holthaas. Dias was a close friend of the real Grey Enfield.
  • Cloudcuckoolander: Let this sink in, 2 seconds into his introduction and he’s ripping his shirt off, jumping into the ocean to save a drowner, all the while acting like Errol Flynn! Even Prince Luca just sighs at his actions.
  • Mr. Fanservice: Absolutely ripped and wastes no time showing off his muscles.
  • Hot-Blooded: He doesn't hesitate to jump overboard with nothing but a rope in order to rescue Kai who would've likely drowned if they waited for a rescue boat.
  • Muscles Are Meaningful: Unusual for an Elf, he has the physique of a professional bodybuilder. Can carry a drowning Kai one handed back on board his ship. Given the sheer amount of Fanservice, in the series, he's a standout, not just because he's a man.
  • Obfuscating Stupidity: Dias's intro set him up as a goofball, but do not mistake, this man is a front-line officer one level below the rank of General.
  • Reasonable Authority Figure: Officially, he outranks Kai/"Major Grey", but Dias insists on Kai leading as he politely wants Kai to "earn" his persona as "Major Grey".
  • Stealth Mentor: Dias was the real Grey Enfield's best friend, so he's secretly mentoring Kai to fill his shoes
  • Testosterone Poisoning: For Laughs; Three panels in, and he's ripping his shirt off to save a man overboard a la something from a pirate movie. Prince Luca himself admits; Dias is a "Drama Pirate".

Arlen Royal Military Academy

    Noel 

Noelcia Rubriana De Lugue aka "Noel Fern"

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/nectar_of_dharani_9.jpg
Kai’s roommate at Arlen Royal Military Academy, sole surviving child of the Lord of The Erin Isles.
  • The Ace: Described as “a rising star” among the class.
    • Kai expands on this telling Noel just how impressive she is; citing if she put her mind to anything, she could achieve it despite all that was against her.
  • And Then What?: When Kai, Luca, and even Richard asks her what she was planning on doing after she got her justice, Noel doesn't really know.
  • Dude Looks Like a Lady: Kai is shocked to hear that Noel is a young “man”.
    • Invoked, It’s PAINFULLY obvious that Noel is a young lady disguised as a man.
  • Fallen Princess: Maybe not exactly a princess, but Noel is the daughter of the fallen Lord of the Erin Isles.
  • Fighting Irish: Noel is quick to come to blows even brandish a sword to a prince! That and she holds a grudge.
  • Foil: To Celestia, both are pretending to be someone they are not. Noel is a Fallen Princess pretending to be a boy to avenge her family's murder by killing the prince responsible, but is really just a kindhearted young lady who isn't interested in overthrowing any government; while Celestia pretends to be a picture perfect noble elite heiress but is really a depraved nymphomaniac druggie involved in treachery, but is trying to keep that image up to hide how her rape and trauma messed her up beyond saving.
    • Also, Noel holds very conservative morals & ideals while Celestia, in reality, certainly does not hold any conservative values; going as far as to silently condemn such ideals.
    • Furthermore, Noel holds very strongly to her convictions and ideals while Celestia doesn't at all.
  • Friend to All Living Things: Noel begins every morning feeding numerous birds outside her window.
  • Heroic Vow: Noel has made it her mission to expose Prince Richard and ensure he never takes the throne of Albion.
    • Averted, after some character development and taking time to learn how messed up Richard's life was made by his grandfather, she's decided it wasn't worth making his life any worse.
  • Hidden Buxom: When The Reveal of Noel's gender happens, she's revealed to be well-endowed.
  • Light 'em Up: Her Ambrosia bestows Light powers for Frickin' Laser Beams.
  • Really Royalty Reveal: As royal as she can get Noel is the last living member of the De Lugue Family that were the Lords of the Erin Isles.
  • "The Reason You Suck" Speech: Give one to Celestia, Noel, through all her trials, just needed one look at Celestia to know, she didn't believe in her ideas and revolution at all and immediately calls her bluff.
  • The Reveal: Noel is revealed to be a girl; (but seriously who didn't see it coming?).
    • Double Invoked, Noel is an Ambrosia wielder, one no one was looking for because she hid it so well.
  • Secret-Keeper: She becomes aware that Kai is secretly masquerading as "Major Gray Enfield"
  • You Killed My Father: And mother...and brother. She does not want Richard to take the throne because he led the Albion war fleet that killed her family and annexed her home for literally no reason. Eventually, she learns the truth that his grandfather used him as a figurehead to "toughen the boy up" since he was too old to lead the invasion himself.

    Celestia 

Celestia Morse

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/celestiamorse.png
Click here  to see her in her as Lady Rubian

The Student Counsel president of Albion's Girl's Academy, Celestia is well liked but hides a darker side as "Lady Rubian". She is also from the Duchy of Morse.


  • Animal Motif: Spiders, during Celestia's rant, a spider's web is visualized around her. This goes further as she has like a spider set up an extremely elaborate web of slaves in order to do her bidding.
    • Incidentally, either Celestia herself or a girl working for her was adorned in a Spider-themed Chainmail Bikini.
  • Arc Villain: As Lady Rubian, she serves as the principle antagonist for the "Arlen Arc".
  • Ax-Crazy: A conversation in "private" with Raiza reveals, Celestia is quite frankly, nuttier than a fruitcake.
    • In medical & psychological terms, Celestia easily suffers from a laundry list of disorders ranging from sadomasochism, hyper nymphomania, penchant for gas-lighting her peers, among others.
  • Becoming the Mask: Averted, Celestia has a guise of a perfect The Beautiful Elite heiress often seen in fairy tales and such but...That is "The Mask", all in stark contrast to her true self, a sexually depraved sociopath who is actively engaged in treason, kidnapping, drugs, and even rape.
    • Bonus points for having an actual mask for her "true self", "Lady Rubian".
    • Ultimately Averted & Double Invoked! Celestia doesn't care about being "Celesita Morse OR Lady Rubrian" she's just a mindraped teen in love; if you can believe that after all this.
  • Cool Mask: Kinda a prerequisite when you run a Sex Cult
  • Depraved Bisexual: Celestia swings both ways and she is indeed depraved
  • Death Seeker: She really just wants Richard to kill her, the "evil seductress who manipulated fellow students into a revolt with drugs", so that he can see himself as a hero and be seen as a righteous worthy heir to the throne. Convoluted as it seems.
  • Didn't Think This Through: When Noel calls her bluff, things don't end well for Celestia since she's surrounded herself with drugged out and/or crazy extremists.
  • Even Evil Has Loved Ones: Despite all her flaws, and numerous one-night stand lovers, Celestia admits she does actually have some sort of feelings for Richard.
  • Even the Girls Want Her: It's made quickly clear that all her classmates admire her a little more than just looking up to her. Quite literally when in her sex cult.
  • Fantastic Drug: She's using Mermaid's Blood to run a Sex Cult in a school as "Lady Rubian".
  • Foil: To Noel, both are pretending to be someone they are not. Celestia pretends to be a picture perfect noble elite heiress but is really a depraved nymphomaniac druggie involved in treachery; while Noel is a Fallen Princess pretending to be a boy to avenge her family's murder by killing the prince responsible but is really just a kindhearted young lady who isn't interested in over throwing any government.
    • Also, Noel holds very conservative morals & ideals while Celestia, in reality, certainly does not hold any conservative values; going as far as to silently condemn such ideals.
  • Immodest Orgasm: Again, "Leader of a drug sex cult", pretty self explanatory.
  • Hollywood Atheist: It is revealed that Celestia has a very strong hatred for the Goddess Rubrian, Goddess of fertility, love, and chastity; so much so she invokes said Goddess's name as her alias for her debauchery just to slight her.
  • Love Makes You Dumb: Just read all the spoiler tags and realize she did it all for Richard, and you'll understand why it's not Love Makes You Evil.
  • Ms. Fanservice: Even among her fellow World of Buxom classmates, Celestia stands out as a beauty; so much so that she's easily formed a sex-cult fiercely loyal to her with said beauty that is involved in a coup against her own nation!
  • Not in This for Your Revolution: Celestia actually doesn't care about all the revolutionary and treasonous acts she's done. In her own strange way, she wants Ricard to become a hero. Strange as it sounds.
  • Rape As Back Story: Just to add to this roller-coaster ride of a character trope page, Celestia reveals she was gangraped by Dr Alaia which set her down her path of self-loathing.
  • Rape Is a Special Kind of Evil: Despite being the leader of a drug sex cult in a high school, the point the audience realize just how bad Celestia is, is when she allows her orgy to start sexually assaulting Raiza who certainly is not a willing participant.
  • Really Gets Around: Jokes aside, despite the image she maintains as "Celestia Morse"; as "Lady Rubian", she has a ridiculous number of lovers from both genders and actively engages in orgies.
  • Reasonable Authority Figure: Celestia understands that the New Transfer Student probably doesn't have an understanding of Albion culture and takes time to explain how Sakura & Doronea (who are secretly searching for someone for their investigation) are being unintentionally rude.
    • Ultimately Averted, Celestia is using her position to operate a drug & sex cult with the students on school grounds. Celestia is also not above sexually assaulting her classmates that are not as willing to cooperate. Also, let's not forget she's working with her nation's enemies to help overthrow her own Kingdom.
  • "The Reason You Suck" Speech: Victim, She's called out and immediately exposed as having absolutely no fortitude in her convictions at all by Noel.
  • Shameless Fanservice Girl: Seriously, what part of "Leader of a Drug Sex Cult" don't you understand? In her Lady Rubian persona Celestia just walks around fully nude for all to see.
  • Student Council President: Functions as this for the girl's half of Arlen Academy.
  • Walking Spoiler: If all the spoiler tags weren't a dead giveaway; her integral involvement in the Arlen arc makes her one.
    • Double Invoked, as a lot of these spoiler tags also hide her surprising actions at the end of the arc!

    Dr Alaia 

Dr Alaia Leland

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/dralaia.png

  • Bait-and-Switch: Alaia's introduction is make the reader believe she is Lady Rubrian, as the concept of the "sexy school nurse" being the sex-crazed villain is usually the case in similar series. However, her subsequent appearances reveal Alaia lacks the... "cunning" to be Lady Rubrian as she is actually just ditzy and good natured so far.
    • Averted: She is indeed the Founder and Original "Lady Rubrian" and she broke Celestia so she could be her figurehead.
  • Comically Missing the Point: Let's just say the good doctor is a little..."ditzy". But it is all an act to make people believe she wasn't a spy.
    • Alaia doesn't seem to realize some of her actions towards her students can be seen as slightly... "erotic" to say the least. Ranging from demanding young men strip to their underwear and having the young ladies take their tops off while using her stethoscope.
    • Dr Alaia is so dedicated to inspecting Kai' health, she "accidentally" gets a wardrobe malfunction twice in the same moment and sees she's done nothing wrong!
    • On that note, because she suffers said wardrobe malfunctions, Dr Alaia believes it's then ok to see students (male & female) undressed as well.
    • When a student tells her they cannot allow Alaia to give them a physical exam for "religious reasons", Alaia states she knows but still urges Noel to give a visit for "his" health regardless.
  • Flat Character: More or less, Dr Alaia is there to draw suspicion away from The Reveal of Celestia as Lady Rubrian for the reader and be the "sexy school nurse".
    • Invoked, Alaia is a spy for Bred Regan and purposefully invoked this trope and even created a figurehead to play the role of "Lady Rubrian" in her place to throw suspicion off of her.
  • Ms. Fanservice: Dr. Alaia is a gorgeous, buxom, curvy, Hospital Hottie, 'nuff said.
  • Not What It Looks Like: Basically all Alaia's actions, no matter how pure the intention, lead to this.
  • Obfuscating Stupidity: Dr Alaia relies on this trope to sell that she is a good but ditzy girl, however, she is a predator that seduces the students into a dark world of ritualistic sex she can manipulate them into open rebellion.
  • Rape Is a Special Kind of Evil: Just in case the audience still wasn't convinced her "evil reveal" was genuine, a flashback shows that she had Celestia gang-raped by a bunch of drugged out students. You know, just to make sure, you got the idea.
  • Red Baron: Dr. Alaia's code name with Bred Regan is Hecate.
  • The Knights Who Say "Squee!": She's a big fan of Major Grey Enfield, fangirling after shaking his hand.
  • Walking Spoiler: She is just one of many and (hopefully) final for the Arlen arc; seriously it's ridiculous.

    Franz 

Franz Sarvey

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/franzsarvey.png

  • Ax-Crazy: If you thought Celestia was crazy, strap in, Franz is a wack-job when it all comes crumbling down.
  • Blind Without 'Em: Says it almost word for word when he loses them.
  • Evil All Along: He was working for "Lady Rubrian" the entire time and was her first supporter actually.
    • Actually...Franz reveals he is actually the one behind everything in the "Arlen arc"!
  • Evil Is Petty: Everything he's done: Manipulating Celestia, drugging his entire school, masterminding a revolution with teenagers, conducting teen orgies, conspiring with the enemies of the State; it's not because he believes Dhala is the morally superior nation or Albion is the enemy, no, he's just an angry nerd getting back at everyone who either picked on him or looked down on him!
  • Flat Character: He is just supposed to be the bait-and-switch nerdy outcast helping the heroes only to reveal he's a subordinate of the villain
    • Averted, Franz is the actual mastermind manipulating everyone behind the scenes.
  • Golem: Has a magic spell book that creates Golems out of the buildings
  • Hoist by His Own Petard: When Noel calls the Celestia's bluff, effectively the revolt is over and the "mastermind" is caught; but Franz exposes himself as the real mastermind when no one, repeat no one suspected him purely out of stupid jealousy!
  • If I Can't Have You…: Franz has lusted for Celestia and appears to have slowly manipulated her into a nymphomatic slut and has had sex with him numerous times (and just about every guy in school); however, when Celestia admits that she loves Ricard, Franz snaps and shoots her in the back refusing to let her go to Richard.
  • It's All About Me: Franz seems to really believe everyone is against him and plotting against him as well.
  • Love Makes You Crazy: Just hearing Celestia admit that, despite everything that has happened and all the "things" she's done with Franz and almost every guy in the academy, she actually does love Richard, Franz just snaps and goes on a murderspree, be damned his carefully laid plans.
  • Love Makes You Evil: Franz reveals he is doing all these evil things not just because he hated how everyone treated him, but because he lusted for Celestia.
  • The Man Behind the Man: The Man Behind the Woman more accurately; Franz is the mastermind behind the Arlen arc, not Celestia.
  • Never My Fault: Blames everything on everyone else. Even Celestia admitting she really didn't care was Richard's fault in his eyes
  • Nice Guy: Franz is a nice guy plain and simple, making sure to thank and befriend the New Transfer Student for helping him and trying his best to dissuade him from bringing up a recent tabooed subject.
  • Not in This for Your Revolution: Literally throws all his plans out because the girl he lusted for dumped him despite taking direct orders from the Dhala Empire!
  • Walking Spoiler: Amazingly, he beats the other "Walking Spoiler" above him!

    Raiza 

Raiza Cratz

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/raizacratz.png

Ligia's bratty little sister


  • A-Cup Angst: She's all but says this when decently and generously endowed Sakura and Doronea make her even more self-conscious. Being the little sister of the generously endowed Ligia probably doesn't help things either.
  • Alpha Bitch: Invoked and ultimately Averted, Raiza is definitely bratty, but has absolutely no authority among the girls and her bratty persona all but fades away when she's being "assaulted"; revealing she's just a prudish young girl.
  • Immodest Orgasm: Victim of one when she's being lesbian raped by her drugged out friend.
  • The Reveal: Averted, Raiza is revealed to be Ligia's little sister but this (as of yet) has no bearing on the plot of the story at all.
  • Spell My Name With An S: Is her name "Raiza Cratz" or "Liza Cratz"? We'll have to wait for the proper English translation.

    Milva 

Milva Rhan

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/milvarhan.png

  • Fantastic Drug: Milva is a Mermaid's Blood addict.
  • Girl Posse: In Raiza's
    • She's also apart of Lady Rubian's sex cult.
  • Laser-Guided Amnesia: Milva doesn't seem to remember her actions when she's hopped up on Mermaid's Blood; this includes her sexual assault of her friend Raiza. Even a trained kunoichi, Shizuka, genuinely believes Milva doesn't remember her actions.

    Dario 

Dario Robe

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/dario_5.png

  • Bait-and-Switch: The reader is lead to believe Dario is the source of the Mermaid's Blood in Arlen Academy, but...
  • Jerk Jock: His whole character short lived as it is pretty much can be summed up as this.
  • Loophole Abuse: Dario is decent with a rapier, so he goes after less skilled practitioners, seriously injuring them, to "make them better".

Kingdom of Albion Citizens

    Grey Enfield 

Major Grey Enfield

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/grayenfield.png
The actual Major Grey Enfield who was a war hero among the Lemurian Company, husband to Princess Kasha, and arch enemy to Bred Regan. Now deceased, Kai uses his identity to rally Albion to combat the Dhala Empire.
  • Bash Brothers: With Dias
  • The Extremist Was Right: Played With. He was against saving slave girls cause it would give his, Sakura, and Kai's position away and against acts of kindness in general during their incognito mission for safety purposes. Turns out, he is 100% right and it costs him his life. Though if Sakura hadn't purchased Nia, the party would have lost out on a very powerful and valuable ally. Yet he's 100% correct that Kai helping an "old lady" was what led an assassin directly to him, causing his death and Sakra's capture.
  • Heroic Sacrifice: Averted, Grey is assassinated via poison and his body disposed of so Kai can masquerade as him.
  • Mysterious Past: Grey's past is explained by Prince Luca but it's amazing how he was the "every man" and no one really knew him.
    • Only his grandmother is alive, but as it was described, she "won't be a problem" for Kai. Who, as it turns out is very much aware of Kai's true identity but chooses to keep the secret because of the good Kai is doing in her grandson's name.
  • Nice Guy: When the sacred ritual to bring a human to save the world botches with a timid Kai, Grey isn't angry and actually helps Kai knowing fully well he is freaked out.
  • One Degree of Separation: She's Sakura's brother-in-law, having married Sakura's older sister.

Erin Archipelago

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/erinarchipelago.png
The De Lugue Family
The Archipelago off the coast of Albion. King Drake had absorbed them into the Albion Kingdom by force.
  • Doomed Hometown: To what extent is unknown, but its loss of independence serves as one for Noel.
  • Fantasy Counterpart Culture: A religious island nation of redheads off the coast of a British based fantasy country, yeah, this is screaming Fantasy Ireland down to the name "Erin".
  • Fighting Irish: If Noel is anything to go by; the Erin people live up to their real world couterparts.
