Ambiguous Situation: The "Witch" reveals she was trapped in a house set on fire by villagers trying to kill her, but somehow, she's still here. After casting a lot of fire magic, she turns into a young woman, before going back to her normal appearance. After a short travel together, she vanishes while Bard isn't looking when they leave the forest, leaving the possibility that she might be a ghost all along.

Women Are Delicate
 Henkyou no Roukishi Bard Loen (Manga) / int_2a0c7188
comment
Women Are Delicate: Bard has spent his live in an environment where "men protect and ladies are protected", so he is rather offended that Goriola Kingdom has female knights. On top of that, Viscount Doriatessa is a noble as well, so her risking her life feels like throwing away the privileges the kingdom provides for her. Still, he admires her tenacity and admits he could broaden his worldview. She wants to provide a proof of strength to the next royal contest specifically to prove herself, but as she's only 19 Bard correctly guesses that despite her swordsmanship, she operates mostly on emotions and lacks in skill.

Beast Man: While most of the focus is on the human characters, there are races of demi-humans in this setting, such as the Gelkast and the monkey-like Jameen. The demi-humans seem to suffer some Fantastic Racism, as they are regarded by humans as uncivilized savages, but they have their own societies and codes of honour, as well as traits that are kept secret from humans like the Jameens' ability to calm and tame demon beasts, an idea that's unheard of among humans.

Succession Crisis: Windellan ended up in one with his legitimate half-brother that had him sent out to Kaldus' territory for his own safety. He decides to willingly go back to regain his rights as heir since despite his illegitimacy, he had the double-whirlpool fingerprint that makes eligible to be king, resulting in a fight that lasts for nearly thirty years before he ultimately ends up becoming the next king.

Not Worth Killing: After Kaldus's Despair Event Horizon and asking if he's going to be killed, Bard judges his actions between being Necessarily Evil from an economic point, a Snowball Lie to the prince-turned-king he had to keep, and injustice to the farmers, soldiers and Aidra who've died for his ambitions. He just intimidates him to return all the money and leaves him to whatever his fate ultimately will be.

Out-Gambitted: In the end, Kladus ends up outgambitted by Bard Loen. He planned to pay Julchaga to steal the seal from Bard, and use it to confirm that his son Zeon is the actual prince, rather than Joulran, and the priest had told him the "Double Whirlpool" was a code meant only for Lady Aidra so it doesn't matter anymore. However, both were architected by Bard, who found the priest Vari first and told him about the situation, confirmed he had the seal first, and then sends it to Kladus via Julchaga to fall for the trap, while the "Double Whirlpool" is actually referring to the fingerprints that would confirm the identity of the child, which Kladus couldn't fake. Kladus' whole plan then falls through as the priest Vari is aware of it and they have a foolproof way to verify the identity of the real prince.

Honor Before Reason: Upon Yotish Pain's death, the mercenary Ven Uril decides he has no business against Bard and follows the contract to return his employer's corpse to Kaldus Coendera. Since Yotish technically joined the fight he wasn't supposed to which was why he got killed, Ven considers this a breach of the agreement and demands full payment. He hasn't considered that the Lord would not be happy with his nephew being killed right in front of his alleged bodyguard, and on top of that Gyenzera Pain, the father, sends assassins after him. This also applies to Gyenzera's side because Ven was their best shot to kill Bard, which Bard himself lampshades was quite foolish if they wanted him dead and even Kaldus was dismayed by. Jogg Ward threatens villagers on Coendera's behalf, then duels Bard Loen who's protecting them. Who he also has a personal grudge against for defeating him when he was younger. After Bard falters due to old age pain, Jogg loses interest in both him and the villagers.

Improbable Weapon User: Gordon Zalcourse and his "wall sword", a longsword so wide that it can be used as a shield. What really sells it as this trope is the way he uses it, which is to hold it straight upwards in front of him, seemingly blocking his view, before swinging it straight down on his opponent (flat side first). While it initially appears a bit goody, Gordon is actually quite effective with it, as the target has to either dodge backwards, in which case he gets back into position (almost effortlessly it should be noted), or they dodge to the side, in which case Gordon will simply swing the sword to the side to catch them with the actual blade. Played with, in that Gordon's specialty is actually in axes and hammers, and he is incredibly good with them to boot, but he uses swords because those are more "knightly" (the wall sword was simply something he had made to compensate for regular swords being too light for him), and he later averts it by just using a hammer.

The Reveal
 Henkyou no Roukishi Bard Loen (Manga) / int_6b2b3b59
comment
The Reveal: One of the recurring questions is why Kaldus Coendera had returned Aidra to the Tersia Family after marrying her for one year and a half. Another question is what the royal convoy is doing here at this time. It turns out that Joulran is actually Lady Aidra's child with Prince Windellan and not with Kaldus Coendera as believed, and Kaldus let them be on the prince's request. Windellan, now the king, asked Kaldus where his son is, which gave him an idea to pass his own son as him. It's also heavily implied Kaldus also did this to steal the money Windellan had been sending for Aidra and Joulran's care without their knowledge. What the "Double Whirlpool" is that Kaldus is desperate to obtain. It's a genetic trend of the royal family. Fingerprints of the people who descend from the first king are often in a double whirlpool shape, and they are used to confirm the heritage of children, as 50 days after they're born, children have their fingerprints taken to confirm their identity. Joulran Tersia has that trait and King Windellan has the scan, which is something Kaldus Coendera didn't know.

Meaningful Name: Bard's horse Stablos is a gift by Lady Aidra, who's said the name has a secret meaning. She's named after a folktale about the princess gifting her knight a horse that always appeared with the spell "Stablos".

Awesomeness by Analysis: An offhand comment by an assassin that he has something else to do after killing Bard Loen clues him in that Coendera Family is searching for something and think he may have it (Unbeknownst to either of them, he does actually have the Plot Device with him). He figures out what that is specifically later, along with the Kaldus Coendera's entire plan, and ruins it in a single move.

Heroic Bastard: Prince Windellan is the bastard son of the king, but he is a war hero favored by the public and the nobility due to his strength and deeds, which eventually make him take over the throne. The primary reason he was chosen is for him inheriting the whirlpool fingerprints, despite having a commoner mother.

Arranged Marriage: Aidra Tersia got married off to Kaldus Coendera for political reasons, but it didn't calm the tension between two families and they've got divorced only after about a year and having a child. Why she returned is one of the Driving Questions. Prince Windellan requested Kaldus to give Aidra to her, which he obliged to earn favors from him and became a Secret-Keeper that Windellan is the real father.

Worthless Yellow Rocks: Bard during his travels ends up with a very high-quality demon pelt that he doesn't think is very valuable as they were common where he originally lived. However, Julchaga reveals that demon pelts are very valuable, and the high-quality pelt that he had would be worth a small fortune in itself, which causes an unscrupulous merchant to try framing the leather craftsman he hired to make the pelt into armor to steal it for himself.

Didn't Think This Through: Kaldus decides to outsource eliminating Bard through his family members for his plot to ensure he doesn't get in the way of his plan. However, none of them are suited for the task and he only succeeds in getting some of them killed. He also recklessly discards Ven Udik, a warrior capable of killing Bard, because he didn't protect his nephew, despite it being pointed out that Yotish's death was caused by his own carelessness.

comment
Foreshadowing: Bard can't accept Simon Epibalez's gold as a reward for saving him, so he takes a small amount and uses his fingerprint as a signature in case he'll need the rest. Fingerprinting happens to be the way to identify that Joulran Tersia, and not Kaldus's imposter Zeon, is the heir of the royal dynasty. Also, the fact he learned about this from Aidra is another hint of the real identity of Joulran's father, who comes from a royal family that has a Shared Unusual Trait of a certain fingerprint pattern.

This Is Reality: Bard once meets a farmer boy who wants to be a knight. Bard has to explain that not only it's unlikely he would even be taken in, he'll have to earn for his equipment himself, and the only thing knights are good for are killing beasts or knights of other nobles. The reason why Bard has made it was because he had earlier training and he has gained a favor from Lord Elzera by chance. Not very heroic, but the kid finds fighting monsters noble enough.

Stealing from the Till: King Windellan has been sending a lot of allowance money to Kaldus Coendera, to support Aidra Tersia who is the mother of his child, but nobody is allowed to know Kaldus isn't the father. Kaldus uses all that money for his own political gain without neither Aidra nor Joulran knowing about the money, and likely sent them back to keep them in the dark about Windellan's allowances.

All for Nothing: Kaldus Coendera's decades long plan to steal the royal family's seal from Tersia Family and pass his son Zeon as Joulran Tersia, the true heir of King Windellan, was pointless from the start. Joulran and the royal family have a Shared Unusual Trait of Whirlpool fingerprints Kaldus didn't know about which Joulran's father had confirmed Joulran having as soon as he was old enough, so Bard didn't even have to do anything as it would be clear Zeon is an imposter.

Death by Despair: While not explicit, it's heavily implied Aidra's failing health and ultimate death was at least partly caused from Aidra believing her lover had long forgotten and abandoned her, which wasn't helped by the death of her brother only a few years prior to the story. In any case, Bard consider her death an indirect consequence of Kaldus' actions.

Tragic Dream

comment
Tragic Dream: A variant. Prince Windellan's dream was to become king to bring enough stability to the Palzam Kingdom to safely reunite with Aidra and Joulran and he spared no effort for nearly thirty years. But ultimately while he succeeded in becoming king, Aidra ended up passing away shortly before he could return for her and he never got to see his son grow up either.

Evil Gloating: After thinking he won, Kaldus Coendera monologues to Bard how he'll be the father of the future king and will be able to tax the rest of the Shigwentsa as much as he wants, while blaming Tersia family for Aidra's death, so Bard should join him while he can. Bard calmly tells that his imposter prince doesn't have the one identifying trait required (the double-whirlpool fingerprint), and Kaldus realizes he just completely screwed up.

Strong Family Resemblance: Joulran looks quite a bit like his mother Aidra, but he also shares some similarities to his real father Windellan.

comment
Big Bad Wannabe: Kaldus Coendera has quickly rose from a lord of a Dolba district to the Great Lord of Shigwentsa and currently has eyes on the royal family of the Palzam Kingdom. After 20 years of anticipation, it turns out his plan is full of holes, while he spends a fortune on it. With no attempt to do so sooner, he outsources taking care of Bard Loen to his family members, who are not up to the job and even gets his nephew killed. After getting his hands on one of two Plot Devices, he thinks it's good enough to fool the royal convoy. Bard later informs him that the second Plot Device is Joulran's inherent physical trait, so there's nothing Kaldus could do anyway and he probably just sent his son to his death. Oh, and the fortune he used to fund his rise to power used the money he essentially stole from Windellon for Aidra and Joulran's care and even outside his flimsy plan, he would have eventually been forced to face the consequences of deceiving and stealing from the Palzam royal family for years.

Switched at Birth: Kaldus Coendera tries to claim that the son King Windellan is looking for, Joulran, has been raised as Zeon Coendera after a switcheroo. It proves to be fruitless as Joulran Tersia has an unusual physical trait only the royal family members have and Vari knew about Kaldus' plot and was feigning ignorance to let his guard down. Bard points out said son would likely be executed for trying to deceive royalty.

Reckless Sidekick: Gordon Zalcourse is introduced by mistaking Bard for a bandit, then makes him his master without asking and abandons his lord position to travel. Bard is bothered by his immature attitude, but can't refuse his family after hosting him and it's also mentioned that his sister is the one that does most of the lord's work regardless.

Walking Shirtless Scene: Jogg Ward, the illegitimate child of Kaldus, is a man that walks around with an open shirt at all times. Lampshaded and invoked when he refuses an advice from his minions to wear any protection before dueling Bard implying this is deliberate on his part.

Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep": The "Witch" never reveals her name, only asks that she be called by that title, regardless of Bard's protests about being a terrible way to refer to oneself. She's called this way for being a herbologist misblamed for a plague and currently knows some actually magic.

Star-Crossed Lovers: King Windellan and Aidra end up in one when the former has to return to his country over a Succession Crisis. While he did send Aidra and their son money for their upkeep, Kaldus laundered the money in order to gain political power and even sent the mother and son back likely to ensure they wouldn't catch on. Ultimately, by the time Windellan is able to successfully become king to retrieve Aidra and Joulran, Aidra has already passed away without ever hearing a word about her lover.

No Good Deed Goes Unpunished: The "Witch" gave a girl she treated like a granddaughter a medicine that saved her from a pandemic in their village, even though she was asked by her mother to never reveal it to others. The girl then told everyone, who refused to hear when "Witch" told them that this was the only dose of the medicine left. The villagers, including the girl, convinced themselves she was a witch responsible for the disease and set her house on fire, with her inside.

Strangely, Goliosa fruits always grow nearby and acts as an insecticide.

Evil Is Petty: One other reason why Kaldus Coendera wanted to marry Aidra is because Bard has injured him in battle decades ago, and he's good friends with her, so Kaldus decides to rob Bard of everything he cherished along other plans. In general, Kaldus' hatred of Bard is one other factor in antagonizing to the point Bard messed with his plot out of revenge for the people he hurt, including Aidra.
