History Awesome / LongLiveTheQueen

** To be precise, you defeat Togami by using the sole area of combat Togami ''isn't'' an expert in: [[spoiler:a physical attack. You create a ''sword made out of magic'' and cut off Togami's head.]]

* Prior to the duel, it's possible to actually drive off the Shanjian fleet altogether, preventing their army from even making it to your shores, making Elodie ''very'' popular amongst the commoners. One way of doing this is to ''utterly obliterate'' it with magic. [[spoiler:Pity it summons the Kraken]], but it's still terrifyingly awesome.

* The 2015 plot update has an option to consult your magical tutor for help if you sense that [[spoiler:the man who killed his wife]] has a magical aura, but you can't sense further details. If your tutor is Julianna, she [[spoiler:recognizes him as a Lumen, and ends up defeating him in a magical battle in front of the entire court]]. With the right skills, Elodie can immediately turn to the watching nobles and deliver a spur-of-the-moment speech on how this exemplifies the need for loyal Lumens in the royal service. The fight is a moment for Julianna, the speech for Elodie, and between the two, the game explicitly says that you'd probably get a round of applause if it wouldn't violate etiquette.
* An understated moment when Elodie discovers another Lumen ([[spoiler:and unknowingly heads off some nasty assassination attempts]]).
-->'''[[spoiler:Lucille]]:''' Look at how much trouble the Duchess of Ursul has. Please, Your Highness, don't tell anyone.

* Actually making it to Coronation unscathed, even more so achieving the closest as it possible in this game to the GoldenEnding.

* Actually making it to Coronation unscathed.

-->'''Elodie:''' What I think I should tell everyone is that you are my new Lumen Minister.

** Elodie's CharacterDevelopment can become something truly phenomenal if done right. In less than a year's time, the frightened, naive little girl fresh out of boarding school transforms into a brilliant, multi-talented [[RenaissanceMan Renaissance Woman]], a [[TheChessmaster master manipulator]] and a terrifyingly powerful MagicKnight whom only the [[VillainousValor very brave]] and [[TooDumbToLive very stupid]] would even consider crossing. On top of this, you can greatly improve the Novan military, and devastate that of [[TheEmpire Shanijia]], create the first printing press and a central hospital, putting Nova on the forefront of knowledge and education poised to become the world's dominant power. And with the aforementioned BadassPrincess on the throne to boot.

** Alternatively you can fight him with a staff and beat him. Kevan will be so out of himself he'll try to break the rules and force you to strike him down. You can talk him out of it with enough of the right set of skills, as the game itself puts it: "''The applause of the crowd is deafening''."

* Likewise, actually defeating Togami in the WizardDuel. Not only does it require high skill levels in all Lumen skills, it also requires you to have nearly maxed out your Swords or Decoration skill, AND [[EverythingTryingToKillYou actually survive until that point while getting all the necessary skills to that level!]]

*** The epilogue for this one reinforces it - among the gifts the Shanjian trade-ship brings to Elodie, there's two paintings of "a pink-haired angel" obviously made by children.

** Yet another option consists of training your falconry skill to max level, then choosing the Falconer contest. When Kevan shows up, your falcon will swoop in and hack away at him like the true {{Badass}} ActionPet it is until he's detained. Remember that Kevan wears plate armour and is almost impossible to kill with magic.

** Even without obliterating them in a magical ritual, you can end up with tiny pink-haired girl perched at the top of a crow's nest, bellowing insightful and intelligent orders to her fleet while she launches fireballs of magic at any enemy ships that ''dare'' to come in range, from any angle - a big deal in a naval battle. It's pretty great.

** And an understated (and ''very'' tricky-to-get) version is if you manage to get him to stop the war by ''singing'' to him, then appealing to him to think of his children, and what might happen if they lost their father.
