to:

* LoveAtFirstPunch: Chris initially snapped at Ripley when she brought up his parents after Zeronis saved the young boy from drowning. One forehead flick and encouraging speech later, he's smitten with her. Ripley even Lampshades this later on.
* RoyalBrat: Subverted. He's actually quite mature and disciplined when he's in public. With Ripley and Zeronis, however, he drops the act and acts his age, mostly by trying to steal Ripley away from Zeronis.




to:

*TheMistress: Was the King of Archen's lover for years, even before he got married. She can't imagine not being his lover, even if her and her family's reputation is at rock bottom because of it. She ends the relationship after Ripley invites her to start a new life in her country instead.



The rulers of Archen. While acting cordial in public, it is well known that the king has a lover, straining their marriage.

to:

* AbusiveParents: Downplayed. Both of them are neglectful of their young son Chris's wellbeing due their relationship drama and duties to the throne. The King barely acknowledges his presence beyond what's required of him, while the Queen pushes Chris to be the perfect heir to get the King to pay attention. The Queen later apologizes to Chris after Ibella leaves the kingdom and starts paying more attention to him. The King...not so much, but Ripley believes he'll come around eventually.
* AltarDiplomacy: They got married as part of an alliance with their neighboring country. It's part of the reason why the King doesn't just divorce the Queen and marry his lover.
* ParentalNeglect: Both parents are neglectful of Chris because of their marriage issues due to the King's relationship with Ibella. It gets to the point where Chris believes his father wouldn't care if he died. His mother, however, does regret her actions and apologizes to Chris once Ibella leaves for good.
