* ''VideoGame/LeagueOfLegends'' has Jarvan IV, son of the King of Demacia, taking a commanding role in the military and subsequently, the League of Legends. More than merely competent, he is one of the greatest troops at his city-state's disposal. So is his ArchEnemy Jericho Swain, ruler of the LawfulEvil city state of Noxus. A cunning mastermind and a competent leader, he is also a formidable mage with a very hands-on approach to battle.

** Once they become Lord Captain, the PlayerCharacter is an active ruler by default [[EnforcedTrope because it wouldn't be much of a game otherwise]]. During Seneschal Adelard's first companion quest, he actually insists you ''don't'' lower yourself to dealing with something as petty (in his opinion) as a labor strike on the lower decks. If you ignore him and then negotiate with the strikers instead of putting down the strike by force the way he wants, he complains that Lady Theodora would never have sullied herself by sticking her nose into something so minor--to which you can reply with a couple different variations of [[DeathByOriginStory "And look where that got her."]]

[[note]]Although oddly enough, you actually ''can'' outright [[DecliningPromotion decline the role of Lord Captain]], though this causes a NonStandardGameOver since you're refusing to engage in the game's plot altogether.[[/note]] During Seneschal Adelard's first companion quest, he actually insists you ''don't'' lower yourself to dealing with something as petty (in his opinion) as a labor strike on the lower decks.

* Games belonging to the ''VideoGame/{{Suikoden}}'' series are obviously filled with these. Special mention goes to King Lino en Kuldes, one of [[RankScalesWithAsskicking the best fighters]] in ''VideoGame/SuikodenIV'' and his daughter [[ArcherArchetype Flare]], two popular characters in, arguably, the series' most unpopular game.

* ''VideoGame/BokosukaWars'' has the main protagonist, King Suren, who leads his army into battle against the forces of King Ogereth, and fights alongside them. The {{UsefulNotes/Famicom}} version of the game takes it a step further, as he starts with no allies at all, and has to free them from having been turned into inanimate objects before they can fight alongside him.

* ''VideoGame/EternalSonata'' has Prince Crescendo and Princess Serenade. Prince Crescendo is the prince of Baroque, who is taking care of the kingdom in place of his ailing father. When the kingdom is threatened by Forte, he decides to turn himself over to the game's BigBad, Count Waltz. The UpdatedRerelease UsefulNotes/PlayStation3 version gives him more to do by having him join your party and making him part of a BonusDungeon. Serenade is his fiancee and a spy for Forte, but she realizes that what Forte is doing is wrong and flips sides. She also joins the party in the updated rerelease.
