* BodyguardBabes: The Royal Swords of Shiyalta and Nightcloaks of Kilhina are [[NinjaMaid Ninja Maids]] or [[BattleButler Battle Butlers]] that protect the Royal family. They often wear pantsuits, but do not favor fighting directly out in the open. During the day, they are maids and servants of the Royal family while acting as nondescript bodyguards. At night, they are the Queen's spies and assassins.
* Nepotism: Yuri's father, Rook, encourages him to employ a cousin in his company. Subverted in that she's actually competent and trustworthy as she becomes the company's accountant.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Queen Shimone. It's hard to give examples that don't include the Protagonist, but in every conversation where accusations are made against him, she gives him room to defend himself, instead of instantly siding against him. Regarding Yuri's solutions to the Kingdom's largest problem, she of course dismisses them because they are dangerous and destructive.
** DividedWeFall is very much in effect. Power is not centralized with too many competing factions or families that cannot be ignored.
** [[ObstructiveBureaucrat Obstructive Bureaucrats]] fill the Royal court and bureaucracy, corrupting the government, hiding information from the Queen, and otherwise actively working against her goals.

She actively seeks out the capital's slums to better assess the state of the downtrodden and poor, hoping she can help in some way. When war comes, she volunteers to bear witness, learn, and give her kingdom's young officers a chance to earn experience.

She actively seeks out the capital's slums to better assess the state of the downtrodden and poor, hoping she can help in some way. When war comes, she volunteers to bear witness, learn, and give her kingdom's young officers a chance to earn experience. Angela Sacramenta is similar. Angela Sacramenta aggressively educates herself and forces her way to participate in the 15th Crusade, making valued contributions.
** PoliticallyActivePrincess: The Shanti Royal families are matriarchal, so this comes with the territory. Carol proactively chose to go to both schools and train as a knight, which is not traditional. She intends to choose her own husband suiting her own criteria. Both concessions she bargained for or won from her mother, the Queen. She is socially active and a source of leadership at the Cultural Academy. Angela Sacramenta is always spending time socializing with other nobles, both foreign and domestic, establishing connections and exchanging information.
** [[WarriorPrince Warrior Princess]]: This seems to be Carol's goal, but the Queen appoints Yuri as commander instead during the 15th Crusade in Kilhina, so the trope is partially averted. She's still in a leadership position and participates in the war. Played straight with Angela Sacramenta, she's able to arrange things to allow her fight on the front lines.

He lived a listless life, no job, no purpose, no friends or family he cared about. One day, while walking home from shopping, he saw an elementary school aged girl carelessly fall into a river. He died drowning from exhaustion saving her.
He's then reborn as Yuri Ho, infant child of Rook and Satsuki Ho, a rancher family in another world. There is no system or levels, no magic, but there are still elements of fantasy. As ranchers, they care for and raise Plainsrunners, flightless birds, and Kingeagles, large flying Eagles, that can both be used as mounts. The Ho's are citizens of the Kingdom of Shiyalta, a nation of Shanti. The Shanti are humanoids with well formed features, long ears with tufts of hair growing at the tips, and longer lifespans than the more familiar humans known as the Kulati; in other words, Elves.
Long ago, the Shanti empire was shattered by the Kulati and have been dying a slow death for the past 900 years. Witness the growth of a young boy, from the son of a rancher, to conquering hero, as he takes advantage of his modern day college of science education to change the world.

* DecadentCourt: The Queen's government is filled to the brim with corrupt nobles that behave no differently from gangster thugs on the street.
