* LivingEmotionalCrutch: The ''only'' reason Regis hasn't killed himself [[spoiler:and taken out Darius for good]] is because doing so will leave Jubel alone, orphaned, and unprotected. [[spoiler:When she dies in the first timeline, he loses both his will to live ''and'' his mind, before heading to the hall to slaughter everyone who played a part in her death. Darius, upon realizing Regis really is about to kill him, asks why he would give up his life like this, and the Duke plainly states that he has no desire to live in a world without his daughter]].

* SpitefulSuicide: [[spoiler:After he's defeated, Jubel takes pity on Mikhail and asks Max to give him a potion to erase his memory before having him join his family in exile. Instead, Mikhail attempts to commit suicide to make her feel miserable guilt over his death for the rest of her life. His scheme fails, because as it turns out Max always intended on killing him for all he did to Jubel and had already switched out the potion with poison. After he dies, Max has the body cremated and the ashes sent to the exiled Hessens while telling Jubel that Mikhail died of illness during his imprisonment]].
* StupidEvil:[[spoiler: Darius's plot against Jubel in the original timeline was completely unnecessary and caused Regis to lose the only hostage who prevented him from killing him.]]

* TragicMistake: In the first timeline, [[spoiler:when Jubel is accused of poisoning the princess and sent to interrogation, Regis gives his daughter a knife to defend herself while he goes to Max to swear fealty and help him usurp Darius if he in turn promises to save Jubel. But because he didn't tell her this, she thinks that Regis gave her this knife to commit suicide because she would be tortured, and after concluding that her own father abandoned her, Jubel loses all hope of living and kills herself with the knife when Max enters the dungeon. Upon discovering her body, Regis completely loses his mind and his grief is so raw and intense, he overpowers the influence of Darius's mind-controlling ring to brutally kill ''everyone'' in the hall, including the Emperor and Mikhail, who played a role in Jubel's arrest.]]

* SpitefulSuicide: [[spoiler:After he's defeated, Jubel takes pity on Mikhail and asks Max to give him a potion to erase his memory before having him join his family in exile. Instead, Mikhail attempts to commit suicide to make her feel miserable guilt over his death for the rest of her life.

** Mikhail is an extremely narcissistic, hypocritical jerk and EntitledBastard. He dates Jubelian only for her father's status, uses her throughout their relationship, and does not treat her well. As if leaving her for Beatrice, who has higher status, wasn't enough, he helps the Emperor frame Jubel for poisoning the princess, causing Jubel to commit suicide.[[spoiler:His death by [[PapaWolf Regis]] in the first timeline is satisfying, to say the least.]] It's no better in the current timeline. When Jubel breaks off relations with him, he is arrogant enough to think that she did it to get his attention. He becomes delusional and begins sending humiliating and hateful letters to Jubel, saying that she should beg him to come back to her (fortunately, Regis burned them all before they reached Jubel). Jubel wasn't the only girl he took advantage of, as seen when he used Veronica to get Jubel's attention. When he finally realizes that Jubel genuinely no longer loves him and has forgotten him, he tries to unite with the Emperor and destroy the Floyen family so Jubel will come back to him.

* AntagonisticOffspring: A justified example with Maximilian. Even though he constantly intimidates his father and makes plans to bring about the end of the Emperor, Darius is a cowardly, sociopathic tyrant who does not hesitate to try to eliminate his son and cares about no one but himself. Max has every reason to kill him.
* ArchnemesisDad: Darius is undoubtedly Max's greatest enemy. And they have absolute hatred for each other. Max is clearly prepared (albeit for good reason) to do whatever he can to eliminate Darius.

* ForgottenFirstMeeting: Justified due to her young age, but Jubelian and Max did meet when she was three or four and gave him cookies when he was starving. She's embarrassed to have forgotten when Max brings it up but considering her age doesn't hold it against her [[spoiler: particularly since they are already married.]]
