Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })In the distant future on a planet colonized by Earth two countries have waged war with one another for ten years. To put an end to the fighting the royal families of Mephius and Garbera have arranged a political marriage. The wastrel Prince Gil of Mephius, faced with impending marriage and the scorn of his father, goes on yet another drug-addled romp in town and never returns. The only witness to his true fate is the merchant Fedom who sees in it an opportunity.Not long after the war started the peasant boy Orba was displaced from his hometown by Garberan soldiers and witnessed his fellow refugees slaughtered by Mephian soldiers. Forced into a life of crime, Orba was eventually jailed where his unusual resemblance to the Prince was noted. Fedom arranged for Orba to be made into a gladiator and hid his face while looking for an opportunity to exploit it. With the Prince gone, Fedom offers Orba freedom in exchange for acting as a body double, supposedly due to fear of assassination.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Unknown to Fedom, Orba has his own purpose in taking on the role of Gil: To find his missing family and take revenge on Mephius for his suffering. His plots are complicated by the arrival of Princess Vileena of Garbera, who for the good of her homeland aspires to control her husband, and through him Mephius. And both must deal with plots by factions within both their nations and without which conspire to reignite the war.Also known as "Emblem of the Branded", this Light Novel series by Tomonori Sugihara is complete at 12 volumes. "Tales of Leo Attiel; Depiction of the Headless Princess" is a 4 volume Light Novel taking place in the same world. | |

Stop, or I Shoot Myself!: Vileena tried this to make Ryucown stand down, only for him to say he'd do it himself and use her death to justify the war. Vileena repeats this in Volume 10, only here she has greater conviction, causing Salamand to lose his cool. | |

Royals Who Actually Do Something | |
| Rakuin No Monshou / int_1edfa2c7 | comment |
Royals Who Actually Do Something: Orba as Prince Gil comes under this trope, being active in political, economic, and military matters in order to secure his position. The Emperor was also this when younger but has become more hands-off as he aged. Most royals depicted are active in the military or political scenes, though rarely both. | |

Chekhov's Boomerang | |
| Rakuin No Monshou / int_21f3e32e | comment |
Chekhov's Boomerang: In the first novel, the sword engraved with Orba's name is used to save his and his mother's lives when he's a child and is later reclaimed by him as an adult. Several volumes later he encounters the blacksmith who crafted it, which serves as the catalyst for finally accepting his family and friends are dead. The medal Vileena gives to Orba saves his life from a bullet in the same volume; he later gives it to the above mentioned blacksmith for repairs. Volumes later, Vileena receives the medal from said blacksmith which causes her to begin acting in response to Gil's apparent death. When injured during a failed assassination attempt, she sends the medal to Orba to prove she is still alive. | |

Chekhov's Gun | |
| Rakuin No Monshou / int_22cf536c | comment |
Chekhov's Gun: In Volume 10's prologue it's mentioned that the Imperial family has the right to choose marriage partners for the nobility but never actually do so. Come the epilogue, Orba forces a rapist to marry his victim and then divorce her. This satisfies her religious obligation to marry the man who took her chastity while leaving her free to remarry. A long term one is that the imperial shrine is built in the same location as the remnants of the colony ship, first mentioned in volume 1. This comes to a head in the final volume when Garda uses an escape pod from said ship to escape. | |

Succession Crisis | |
| Rakuin No Monshou / int_2d768e2d | comment |
Succession Crisis: Volume 5 deals with the struggle for control of the city-state Helio after the legitimate king dies in battle. Despite his father and son being alive, the court descends into a backstabbing frenzy ending with a minor courtier taking power by eliminating other claimants after they'd weakened each other. And then he's replaced by a treacherous mercenary captain only for the legitimate prince's supporters to retake the city. In the backstory, Zodias become ruler of the entire continent after mastering magic. When he died the various regional governors and generals proceeded to carve up their own personal fiefdoms. Ende faces this due to the Grand Duke's failing health. His two sons jockey for position until their father passes and his will names the second son heir... only for the first son to steal the country's banner, preventing the coronation from proceeding, and recruit foreign aid to seize the throne. | |

God Save Us from the Queen! | |
| Rakuin No Monshou / int_2fa6b075 | comment |
God Save Us from the Queen!: Marilène of Helio never produced an heir for her husband but managed to retain her seat as queen by marrying the man who seized control after the king's death and the man who seized control after that. She was reviled on all sides for her behavior and after the usurpers were defeated was set for execution. She actually used her position to minimize the damage done to Helio until the real heir could return; she viewed the hatred and her death as a necessary cost. | |

Honor Before Reason | |
| Rakuin No Monshou / int_44fc28e8 | comment |
Honor Before Reason: A big flaw of Garbera's knights is their blind devotion to honor and chivalry. Ryucown was too invested in his honor to accept a politically-mandated end to the war with Mephius while Zenonn wanted an honest face-to-face battle with his enemies despite being outnumbered and outmaneuvered. Guhl Mephius suffers from his own version in that he feels he must be a decisive and forceful leader. As such he continues to push ahead on reckless courses of action out of necessity. | |

Do Well, but Not Perfect: During the festival tournament Orba deliberately sabotages his own performance just enough to make his win sloppy. This allows him to stage an apparent beating by "Gil" to earn trust from the sword-slaves. Orba is told by his friends that to cement his relationship with the Taurans he needs to bed a dancing girl. However he should aim for a mid-tier girl rather than a real beauty as it will make him seem more human. | |

The Caligula: The Abigoal noble family are the worst nobles seen in the story. The father Jairus is callous and sees no problem burning down a village of three hundred people just to kill one runaway slave. His son Boyce is even worse, using the pretext of rooting out rebels to pillage his own lands, raping and killing as he sees fit. It's little surprise when the entire civilian population of their stronghold rises against them. | |

Once More, with Clarity | |
| Rakuin No Monshou / int_7374ab13 | comment |
Once More, with Clarity!: When Marilène is first seen, her father-in-law is cursing her. Based on what follows it seems this is due to her marrying the man who usurped her husband's throne without a second thought. Ultimately it's revealed he was cursing her for choosing to sacrifice herself to protect Helio; he didn't want his beloved daughter-in-law to suffer like this. | |

High-Class Call Girl: Tauran dancing girls are high-class prostitutes skilled in multiple arts, including sword dances and multiple instruments. They are free to drive off unwanted customers and being able to choose from the more beautiful girls is seen as a mark of prestige. It's not uncommon for dancing girls to be permanently hired by royalty or even become queens. | |

| Rakuin No Monshou / int_d15ab386 | comment |
Gladiator Revolt: A group of sword-slaves plans to rebel against the Emperor and wipe out the nobles during a major festival, not realizing their backer is a noble who plans to use their rebellion to seize control and kill them all. | |

Refuge in Audacity | |
| Rakuin No Monshou / int_d45c0b86 | comment |
Refuge in Audacity: Vileena, having sided with Orba during his rebellion, goes to Guhl and asks him to lend her soldiers. Nobody at the court can believe she'd be so bold or that Guhl actually agreed. | |

Days of Future Past | |
| Rakuin No Monshou / int_d4937788 | comment |
Days of Future Past / Feudal Future: The series said that in the distant past, humans from Earth landed on the planet and due to fighting with the natives they depleted their technology. In the current time the series takes place there are countries that have similarities to the Age of the Roman Empire to Feudal Age Europe. i.e. Mephius is similar to the Roman Empire with gladiator combat. | |

Prince Charmless | |
| Rakuin No Monshou / int_d5921e22 | comment |
Prince Charmless: Prince Gil was a talentless, drug-abusing wastrel more focused on his own feelings of inadequacy than improving himself. Orba has no compunctions about portraying this sort of character to further his schemes. | |

Our Dragons Are Different | |
| Rakuin No Monshou / int_d88e125e | comment |
Our Dragons Are Different: Dragons were the dominant species of the planet before it was colonized and were originally intelligent. They come in a wide range of breeds with different body shapes and even number of legs but are uniformly mean-tempered and never fully tame. Fossilized dragon bones are a critical component in the magitek airships. | |

Thanatos Gambit | |
| Rakuin No Monshou / int_db71d717 | comment |
Thanatos Gambit: Salamand became obsessed with the idea of dying against Mephian soldiers, as he was certain this would trigger a war between Garbera and Mephius. Simon Rodloom engineers his death so that the general public will believe it accidental but his friend Guhl will know the truth. This allows him to send a clear message to Guhl without undermining his credibility. | |

Gambit Pileup | |
| Rakuin No Monshou / int_de9047ac | comment |
Gambit Pileup: Happens periodically during the climaxes of volumes, usually involving three or more parties. Gil usually manages to come out on top due to being better at adjusting his plan when things go awry. | |

Cruel Mercy | |
| Rakuin No Monshou / int_e19e68 | comment |
Cruel Mercy: Rather than executing Marilène, she is spared and exiled. As Orba explains, she was willing to do anything to hang onto her position and comforts, so living without them will be a greater punishment. It's actually to save her life as she had done everything to protect the people. | |

Pretext for War | |
| Rakuin No Monshou / int_e22dae0a | comment |
Pretext for War: After Orba fakes Prince Gil's death, the Emperor claims it was the action of a foreign nation and declares war. Allion is an expansionist state which is very skilled at finding a "just cause" for conquering other nations. Whether that "cause" remains valid doesn't matter to them. | |

Clingy Costume | |
| Rakuin No Monshou / int_e7bfbb3b | comment |
Clingy Costume: The tiger mask that Orba was force to wear when he became a sword-slave. It is a magic mask that can only be removed by the one who made it. The mask also helped Orba's face stay similar to Gil Mephius as Orba grew-up. | |

Cool Airship | |
| Rakuin No Monshou / int_e9d6eff8 | comment |
Cool Airship: Airships are prevalent in Mephius and Garbera and apparently use some form of magitek and exotic elements such as dragon bones to function. They range from single-person sloops used as couriers and scouts to merchant ships to massive battleships equipped with cannons. | |

Identical Stranger: Downplayed and then enforced. Orba originally looked very similar to Prince Gil, but a closer look would reveal noticeable differences. The mask slowly reshaped his face to match Gil's. | |
