| Long Live the Queen (Visual Novel) | comment |
A cute and sparkly game by Hanako Games about dressing up a pretty little princess and preparing her to become a great queen......and watching her be assassinated.Let's try this again.Elodie, the 14-year-old crown princess of Nova, is suddenly yanked back home from boarding school when her mother dies under mysterious circumstances. As the next in line to the throne, Elodie must survive until her fifteenth birthday before she can be legally crowned as Queen. Unfortunately, she is surrounded by people who have their own plans for her, most of which involves her untimely demise.Long Live The Queen is a viciously evil Ren'Py-based game where you, as a woefully-unprepared princess, must manage Elodie's weekly schooling to teach her the skills she needs while everything is trying to kill her. Will you nurture her into a cruel warlord who executes anyone and anything that could pose a threat? Or a Guile Heroine wielding an extensive intelligence network in one hand and a web of alliances and funding accounts in the other? Or maybe even a badass Magical Girl Warrior with a personal attack falcon?The game is largely skill-based: Elodie's weekly classes raise her skill levels, and those levels are checked against a static target number to see if she passes a challenge. Training up a category of associated skills unlocks new clothes for Elodie that boosts those skills even further. You must also manage Elodie's mood carefully, as it dictates how willing she is to learn certain skills. (For example, she is far more receptive to Conversation lessons when she is Cheerful instead of Depressed.)It sounds simple, but Long Live The Queen just loves throwing you curveballs by suddenly checking for skills you never thought you would need. (All your points in Naval Strategy won't count for anything if you fall off the Crow's Nest!)You can buy this game on Hanako Games' website, Steam and GOG.com. In 2022 a slightly-updated version of the game was released for Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 5 with translations into multiple languages.Compare Princess Maker.In 2022, Hanako Games announced the development of a science fiction sequel called Long Live The Queen: Galaxy Princess Zorana.Spoiler Warning: While we'll try to mark major spoilers, just about everything in the game is a spoiler to some degree. Read this page with caution if you want your play experience to be unspoiled.Tropes: | |

Instant Expert | |
| Long Live the Queen (Visual Novel) / int_13f7da6 | comment |
Instant Expert: Deconstructed; Elodie is capable of becoming a master of any skill in about two months, but depends on whether she's in a suitable mood (and properly dressed) to be receptive to the lessons, which are taught by the best tutors in Nova and being given to her under life-or-death pressure. She's still implied to have more natural talent for some skills than others (and some, like History and Faith, top out with her being unable to learn any more because there are obstacles to further study), but even the ones where she's not quite skilled enough to be competitive still leave her better than her noble peers if she maxes the skill out. | |

| Long Live the Queen (Visual Novel) / int_1562fc00 | comment |
Lessons in Sophistication: This is a game entirely devoted to choosing which combination of Princess Lessons will allow Princess Elodie to survive until her fifteenth birthday, when she will be crowned Queen. The game takes This Looks Like a Job for Aquaman all the way up to eleven; the player must use excessive Save Scumming and Trial-and-Error Gameplay to figure out which seemingly unimportant lessons are going to save Elodie's life. | |

There's more information (such as names) in the character reference biographies. Many names only appear in the reference biographies, like the Duke of Kigal's children besides Linley. | |

Defeat Means Friendship | |
| Long Live the Queen (Visual Novel) / int_19769f50 | comment |
Defeat Means Friendship: One of the many ways you can deal with your enemies. This is actually the most effective method, though also the hardest. The two most dangerous threats to Elodie can be dealt with in this manner: you can make Lucille your Lumen Minister (which "coincidentally" reduces the number of attempts on your life to near-zero), and befriending Togami not only saves your country from the leaderless remnants of his army, but is implied to save the entire world from Shanjia's warmongering. Befriending Briony (and therefore stopping her from dying in the Old Forest) also pre-empts Kevan's reason to seek revenge in Week 33, and forcing Brin to marry an Ixionite loses most of its consequences if Elodie understands Brin's outrage and shows her how to spin it in her favor. That said, there are several exceptions to the rule, most of them involving marriage candidates with pre-existing problems. For example, even if you defeat and spare Kevan in a duel, this does not magically cure his sudden bouts of trauma-induced rage. Making her your Lumen minister will stop Lucille from trying to have you killed, but the implication is that she still hasn't quite given up on taking the throne for her own daughter. | |

Big First Choice | |
| Long Live the Queen (Visual Novel) / int_1a888076 | comment |
Big First Choice: If neither Julianna nor Selene are taken on as a Lumen mentor within the first few weeks of the game, the player is giving up on being able to learn magic at all for the rest of the run and locking themself out of any skill checks that require any kind of magic ability. Some of said skill checks have an entire story path hiding behind them. Meanwhile, a player keeping the option to learn magic open will still have to take the time to learn it, which means giving up on another skillset and the choices allowed by having it. | |

If you discover Lucille's plot, Elodie can choose to murder her and her husband - or EVERYONE in the family, banish everyone, or feed Charlotte to a kraken. The dialogue in the latter choice makes it clear she thinks she was in on the plot. | |

Mandatory Motherhood | |
| Long Live the Queen (Visual Novel) / int_1b36b313 | comment |
Mandatory Motherhood: Motherhood is one of Elodie's duties; if she's a lesbian, she'll either marry a man to produce a heir, or either sleep with an unknown male or use Lumen powers to get impregnated, should she keep Brin as a constant companion. In one ending, if you both marry Talarist and name him the Duke of Elath, her health will be ruined by the effort to provide heirs for both the throne and the duchy as soon as possible. Played with Brin, depending on how much Elodie meddles in her life. If Brin is forced to marry an Ixionite, a knowledgeable Elodie can take her aside and advise her that she doesn't have to stay married when the child is born, and Brin does indeed get a divorce after she gets her heir. If she stays unmarried but has a romance with Elodie, she can potentially adopt Banion's "natural son" as her heir instead; or, she can end up marrying Elodie's father, and bearing him a son. Julianna averts this trope, because Julianna is both a lesbian and is not inclined to take orders from anyone. Julianna can adopt Briony as heir, instead. | |

The Exile | |
| Long Live the Queen (Visual Novel) / int_1b8c7503 | comment |
The Exile: A bit of research into Foreign Affairs teaches that Lillah is a relatively new duchy that was created after outcasts from the Yeveni nomads to the east chose to settle down as part of Nova; the rest of Yeveh refuses to acknowledge Lillah even exists and pretend that an invisible wall marks their western border. As for in-game exiles, Arisse, Corisande, and Charmion, all of whom are descendants of the former Yeveni nomads, can be banished from Nova under threat of death for their roles in inciting civil war. It's not said where they end up, however. | |

Poor Communication Kills | |
| Long Live the Queen (Visual Novel) / int_1c445e86 | comment |
Poor Communication Kills: Julianna, despite being Elodie's mentor, never tells her anything. If you haven't discovered that Selene is a Lumen, she won't mention it, even when that fact is literally a matter of survival for Nova and the Queen. What's more, Julianna will threaten Elodie over it. Ouch. Elodie apparently neglects to mention to her mentor that her aunt tried to kill her in a Lumen battle for over a week, by which time the aftereffects have killed an innocent bystander. And if that mentor is Julianna, she will have attended the ball and presumably be among the unsettled nobles. | |

Pay Evil unto Evil | |
| Long Live the Queen (Visual Novel) / int_1d18887f | comment |
Pay Evil unto Evil: Subverted when Elodie can feed Charlotte to the kraken without a high Cruelty score if she discovers that Charlotte's mother sent her the poisoned chocolates, in which case she considers it part of punishing the family, even thinking that the seemingly-innocent victim might have been in on the plot (According to Word of God, she wasn't). This doesn't horrify her father any less, nor does it make the people of Nova any less unnerved. You can vaporize the assassin sent to kill you during the Festival of the Good Lady - but it's clear that the commoners watching are absolutely horrified. Similarly, when Kevan, the Earl of Io challenges you at the tournament for potentially incredibly flimsy reasons, you can preemptively incinerate him. This is a meta-gamey example, since only the player (possibly from previous painful experience) can know that he'll attack you whether or not you agree to a duel. The audience, with no way to know this, is accordingly appalled. You can choose to execute all the Shanjian invading force if you defeat his invasion force at sea. Even the low cruelty option is ransoming the rich ones' families. | |

Wizard Duel | |

Togami murdered Queen Fidelia before the beginning of the game so that her inexperienced daughter would inherit her Lumen crystal and make it easier to take in a Wizard Duel. However, you only discover this in the ending where he taunts Elodie after killing her father as well, and in this path you're in no position to do anything about it... at least, not immediately. | |

| Long Live the Queen (Visual Novel) / int_22d6b3c | comment |
No Sparks: How almost all of Elodie's marriages seem to wind up. The marriage with Adair in particular is always described as "a relationship more like close friends than lovers." If she's unable to have children, Elodie's delayed marriage to Banion can end up like this. The lack of sparks is so apparent that even guests at the wedding notice the distance between the couple. This actually is the best ending the two of them can have together without involving his sister, since the narrative describes it as a partnership where both are content with their choices. | |

Then there's details like boxes of chocolates, Adair's bow tie, Talarist and Alice's glasses, and everybody's hairstyles in contrast with a setting where concepts like the printing press and the hospital are still in their infancy. | |

Death of a Child | |
| Long Live the Queen (Visual Novel) / int_269e82c1 | comment |
Death of a Child: Depending on your choices, 14-year-old Elodie can die in any number of ways, 12-year-old Adair can be assassinated, and 13-year-old Charlotte can either be fed to a kraken or be put to the sword along with her entire family, including her 9 and 7-year-old siblings, on suspicion of treason. | |

Shoot the Dog | |
| Long Live the Queen (Visual Novel) / int_2737c505 | comment |
Shoot the Dog: Multiple: Elodie can prevent a civil war at one point by having a traitor poisoned. Julianna or Selene will suggest killing Elodie's treasury guards to gain access to Elodie's Lumen crystal if Elodie can't get it peacefully. Julianna is more tactful about suggesting "drastic measures" than Selene is, and either way, Elodie is extremely reluctant to carry it out. Elodie can have Lucille's entire family executed for her treachery - including Charlotte and the underaged children. Elodie can abandon Briony during their ill-fated trip into the Old Capital to save her own life. One of the ways of appeasing Ixion is executing Brin. | |

If Lucille survives to the end of the game, she may try to advise Elodie not to marry too soon, citing the risks of giving birth at a very young age... but this is really just a ruse so she can poison Elodie and make her barren, ensuring her daughter Charlotte will remain Elodie's heir presumptive. | |

One late-game hint as to the status of the aforementioned Karma Meter is when a servant dies from sneaking poisoned chocolates meant for Elodie. Normally, she's frightened; with high enough cruelty, she's happy it wasn't her. | |

Trial-and-Error Gameplay: Inherent in the nature of the game, since you won't know what to prepare for on your first playthrough, but the sequence where you and Briony explore the old forest together requires practically perfect decision-making from the first week in order to get out of alive. | |

Gay Option | |
| Long Live the Queen (Visual Novel) / int_2a019fef | comment |
Gay Option: Brin, the Duchess of Hellas, can send Elodie flowers after dancing with her, and Elodie can later choose to marry her brother to be closer to her, refuse to marry and take her as a companion, or even outright marry her should Elodie become unable to have biological children anyway. Depending on the choices made before the ball, Elodie can also dance with Julianna or Arisse, but this doesn't lead to a relationship. Also, Briony falls for her if they both survive the forest adventure and Elodie can reciprocate by making her "Lady of the Royal Bedchamber," though it doesn't stop their eventual marriages to men. Lastly, a cruel Elodie can keep Alice as a Sex Slave. Ick. | |

Sketchy Successor | |
| Long Live the Queen (Visual Novel) / int_2b3e7d3e | comment |
Sketchy Successor: This can be played straight or averted in the end, depending on how you play, but Elodie definitely starts out like this. She seems to have had no education whatsoever in the art of running a kingdom prior to the beginning of the game, starting out with absolutely zero of the required skills - even though many of those skills, i.e court manners, military leadership, basic economics, and the history of her kingdom are things that a crown princess should have been taught since birth. | |

Loyal Animal Companion: Sufficiently leveling up your Animal Handling skills will gain you these - and they can end up saving your life. If Kevan makes an attempt on your life during the tournament, and you are skilled enough in falconry and participated in the falconry competition, your personal falcon companion will literally swoop in and attempt to claw his eyes out, saving your life. If you've spent enough time learning about dogs, your personal pet dog will display uncharacteristic aggression if you receive a box of chocolates, which tips you off that they're probably not safe to eat. If you are good enough with horses, they'll obey your commands and not run away, despite their own terror, if you go into the forest with Briony, which saves both of your lives. | |

Succession Crisis | |
| Long Live the Queen (Visual Novel) / int_2d768e2d | comment |
Succession Crisis: A two-stage one occurs regarding Elath. First, the father of the twelve-year-old Duke of Elath dies a natural death of age, and Elodie has to determine who becomes effective regent for one of the most important duchies in Nova. If you screw this decision up, then the young Duke will be assassinated. His next of kin is Talarist, the Duke of Sedna in Talasse, and agents of Talasse are likely responsible for his death as well as the earlier deaths of the rest of his family in Nova. Elodie may choose to give the duchy to a Novan instead, whereupon Talarist sends in an army. Several more seem in the offing. The ducal families are tightly intermarried, with few cadet branches, and titles have tended to pool - most notable are the siblings Banion and Brin, who each hold a duchy and an earldom/county. They're both over thirty, unmarried with no acknowledged children, and their only known heirs are their Black Sheep brother Bennett and his young son. If both of them die, Bennett takes Brin's duchy and his son takes Banion's - and since a noble of Nova can't hold two duchies at once, Bennett will need to have another child to inherit Hellas or else play further succession ping-pong with Anciet's potential children. Then there's the brothers who hold the duchies of Caloris and Mazomba - Armand is a bachelor and Joslyn is a widower who has one daughter who can't succeed him as the duchess because she's already the crown princess. If Joslyn dies, since neither Armand nor Elodie are eligible to succeed him, the options are one claimant who might be his illegitimate son, his brother-in-law, or someone with no mentioned relation to him whatsoever. | |

Mistaken for Cheating: If you both marry Thaddeus and talk down Togami, the former will assume you're having an affair with the latter, though he doesn't accuse you so much as storm off to brood. Alternatively, Banion might spread rumors of Elodie having affairs with other nobles, and if precautions aren't taken to prove them wrong then Thaddeus and Elodie will end up divorcing. | |

Misplaced Retribution | |
| Long Live the Queen (Visual Novel) / int_2e8875f0 | comment |
Misplaced Retribution: Early in the game a woman tries to poison the Duchess of Mead, blaming her family for her brother's death ten years ago. With enough knowledge of internal affairs Elodie can point out that the likely perpetrator—the Duchess's half-brother and predecessor—is long dead as well, and the Duchess might even have been sympathetic to her case. This prompts the woman to go to prison quietly out of remorse. Later, if Briony dies, her uncle may blame Elodie on the evidence of Briony writing to her a few times talking about her search for adventure. If you discover Lucille's plot, Elodie can choose to murder her and her husband - or EVERYONE in the family, banish everyone, or feed Charlotte to a kraken. The dialogue in the latter choice makes it clear she thinks she was in on the plot. If Elodie decides not to accompany Briony into the forest, the Earl of Io will want Elodie's head for Briony's death, even though it was Briony's idea. | |

You Didn't Ask | |
| Long Live the Queen (Visual Novel) / int_2f226fee | comment |
You Didn't Ask: There are very few instances where other people tell Elodie about things without prompting, often resulting in Adults Are Useless. One of the more prominent examples is a discussion with her father who's telling her that she'll have to be on her guard. If Elodie has studied Intrigue by this point, she can ask whether the royal court doesn't have agents for that sort of thing. This prompts the father to say that of course they have agents and ask what sort of problems they should be looking out for. Depending on the choice, they can defuse several difficult-to-avoid potential game overs. If Elodie hasn't got the Intrigue skills, she won't ask about the agents and her father won't talk about them, and the agents won't assassinate a rebel noble, noticing a war-mongering foreign nation, guarding Elodie against brigands or averting a peasant rebellion. Along with Developer's Foresight: If you suss out the fact that Lucille is a lumen and send a spy to gather info on who sent the assassins, your spy will be irritated that you had found this out earlier, and Elodie will claim it slipped her mind. | |

God Save Us from the Queen! | |
| Long Live the Queen (Visual Novel) / int_2fa6b075 | comment |
God Save Us from the Queen!: Depending on choices, Elodie can end up executing everyone who looks at her sideways and cackling about it. She even occasionally gets to shout "Off with His Head!". And even better? With enough training, she can personally kill any threat to her life. Assassin jumps her? She stabs him. Enraged noble challenges her to a duel? She immolates him. It's heavily implied the Queen of Shanjia isn't any better than her husband, though some endings imply she isn't quite as nasty as he can be (or even Elodie). For example, one of the ways she can deal with Elodie in the wake of a dead Togami is sending the heads of one of the cowardly ministers who tried to cut a "peace" deal with Elodie in the wake of the duel. | |

The best ending you can get comes about from managing to instill a change of heart in the Big Bad by way of a heartfelt song. Another ending involves defeating him with the help of your skill in decorating, followed by a beautiful coronation. | |

Generally subverted in the case of Alice. Most interactions Elodie has with her tend to be cruel dog-kicking moments. Even actions that would typically be considered generous or even romantic, like dancing with her at a ball or giving her gifts that were meant for you, add to the Cruelty meter as these are more about spiting the nobility in ways that bring unwanted attention to the poor maid. | |

Fourth-Date Marriage: Since many of her possible marriages are arranged, Elodie doesn't interact much with a number of the prospective grooms during the course of the game. However, one extreme case is Talarist, the Duke of Sedna. At the beginning of the game, Elodie doesn't even know which country Sedna is in; a few weeks, a letter of condolence, and a pretty necklace later, he visits in person, flirts, and suggests marriage. Elodie can promptly accept, much to her father's shock. | |

Elodie may come across a half-dead flower arrangement in the palace and grumble about careless staff; with enough skill in Divination, she takes it as a bad omen (and with enough skill in Decoration, she'll rearrange it to her satisfaction). | |

Bittersweet Ending | |
| Long Live the Queen (Visual Novel) / int_40cc0c7e | comment |
Bittersweet Ending: If you're unable to stop the Shanjian fleet, but were able to defuse the Sedna incident and were betrothed to the Duke, you're able to escape, with the help of Sedna spies, and the game notes that you will be plotting a counter-attack with Sedna. There are several. If you refuse to get a Lumen crystal and don't find another way of handling the endgame, the King will die protecting Elodie from Togami, anyone suspected of being a Lumen will be severely persecuted for generations to come, Togami leads the Shanjian army to invade Borealis in the north, and is hinted to still be plotting against Nova. Elodie lives and Nova is relatively stable, however. | |

Love Hurts | |
| Long Live the Queen (Visual Novel) / int_424d15ad | comment |
Love Hurts: If an anti-Lumen Elodie is trying to seek information on Julianna's escape from the dungeons, Brin's motivation for approaching her after the ball and telling Elodie that the castle priestess is Julianna's current lover is that Brin was dumped for said lover for being "too challenging". The same dialogue also shows Brin's been dumped twice before Julianna, the implication being that they left her for men, and Brin thought Julianna would "stay the course" and stay with her. Nope. | |

Elemental Powers | |
| Long Live the Queen (Visual Novel) / int_42846e90 | comment |
Elemental Powers: Lumens tend to have some affinity for certain elements, although this also includes more abstract specialties like healing. They aren't barred from using spells not associated with that theme and do appear to have common spells between them (like fire and strangling chains), but most Lumens in the game are linked to specific elements again and again. Light 'em Up: Elodie (Light is a constant theme in her Lumen training and even shows up in one of her Meditation classes even if she's not a Lumen. Elements of Hard Light and Playing with Fire are thrown in as well. Regardless of if she's a Lumen or not, the final epilogue slide shows Queen Elodie shining brightly.) Dishing Out Dirt: Julianna (Though not prominently displayed, she does make the ground shake a little if Elodie taunts her while she's imprisoned, and Selene explicitly says her powers lie with the earth — important at the time, given that Selene wants to create an earthquake to crush an invading force.) Making a Splash: Selene (More specifically, she has an affinity with sea water. She uses a bowl of water in her divination methods, can drown people on dry land, and can even track down the location of a kraken in the ocean.) Power of the Void: Lucille (She claims at first that all she can do is block out sound, but if pushed, she reveals she controls the general absence of things like light and life, and she tries to render Elodie without sight, voice, and movement until she eventually withers away. She can also just outright drain people of life energy, or in extreme cases, summon beams of darkness that explode silently.) Healing Hands: Charlotte (Despite not being a Lumen at the start of the game, she can heal Elodie's wounds if she's bitten and poisoned by a milk viper; further investigation reinforces the existence of these powers, and in one of the Lumen Charlotte epilogues, it's mentioned she still has healing magic.) | |

A Tragedy of Impulsiveness | |
| Long Live the Queen (Visual Novel) / int_42c186e | comment |
A Tragedy of Impulsiveness: Bad things, including some of Elodie's deaths, can happen because of failed Composure checks, which evaluate her ability to stay calm in a crisis. This can cause Elodie to automatically eat the poisoned chocolate if she has none of the other skills that will make her suspicious of it; merely postponing eating it will save her life, as it will result in a servant with a sweet tooth getting to it first. The skill also needs to be quite high to prevent a Heroic Sacrifice from being All for Nothing. | |

| Long Live the Queen (Visual Novel) / int_43555d33 | comment |
Heroes Prefer Swords: While you can train Elodie in archery and lances as well as swords (and her tournament results imply she's actually best at archery, at least at her age), during her climactic duel with Togami, she can create a magic sword to chop off his head. It's also potentially useful in the duels against Banion and Kevan, though in Banion's case it's his preference rather than yours. | |

Annoying Arrows | |
| Long Live the Queen (Visual Novel) / int_43f2f606 | comment |
Annoying Arrows: Mostly averted. Getting shot is a great way to end up dead, especially if Elodie foolishly tries to push the arrow through to the other side. On the other hand, if she lives through that, there are no lasting consequences to having been shot. If Elodie succeeds in having Julianna hunted down and killed, it's done by an archer. | |

Hostage Situation | |
| Long Live the Queen (Visual Novel) / int_44bed14c | comment |
Hostage Situation: If a civil war breaks out and Briony is in the castle at the time — the leaders of the rebellion are her grandmother, her mother, and her aunt — Elodie has the option of either sending her home as a gesture of goodwill or holding her hostage. If she picks the latter, she can then negotiate one of three things for Briony's release: A simple end to the war, a tribute of money from the rebelling nobles, or exile from Nova for the three rebel leaders. This provides one way to quickly get out of the civil war scenario, although the third option can only be taken by an intimidating Elodie. | |

Teen Pregnancy | |
| Long Live the Queen (Visual Novel) / int_4548bae | comment |
Teen Pregnancy: A number of cases, given that this is a medievalish society with a relatively low age of majority. A bit of calculation shows that the Duchess of Lillah was about seventeen at the birth of her eldest child, and Joslyn was about nineteen at the birth of Elodie (though we don't know how old Fidelia wasSpeculationWe do know that she has a brother, Laurent, whose age is given. Assuming Nova runs on absolute primogeniture - oldest child inherits most senior title, regardless of gender - we can assume that Fidelia would have to be at least nine months older than 19, which is the age Uncle Laurent was when Elodie was born). Cayleigh, the Duchess of Elath, was also seventeen at her Death by Childbirth, but it's noted that her father pushed her into it and it's considered unusual to marry so young unless the succession is at stake (as with Cayleigh and Elodie); it's implied that her father and her husband still blame each other for her death. Possibly the youngest instance in the game is Charmion, the Duchess-Consort of Kigal; the listing in her mother's biography implies she's younger than her thirty-three-year-old brother Kevan, and her oldest child is seventeen. In the epilogues where Elodie has children, it usually isn't clearly stated exactly when they come along, though it is more than likely that she does give birth to her first child before she's twenty. One ending where this definitely does happen occurs if Elodie executes Banion's sister, and then later decides to marry him - he gets her pregnant almost immediately after their wedding, but then poisons her, rendering her bedridden and incapable of ruling. When Elodie gives birth, he takes the baby from her and names her after his late sister. If Lucille survives to the end of the game, she may try to advise Elodie not to marry too soon, citing the risks of giving birth at a very young age... but this is really just a ruse so she can poison Elodie and make her barren, ensuring her daughter Charlotte will remain Elodie's heir presumptive. Played straight for Elodie, with realistic consequences, in another epilogue. If Talarist becomes the duke of Elath, and Elodie chooses to marry him, she uses herbal fertility treatments in order to provide heirs to the duchy and the kingdom as soon as possible. She quickly conceives twin girls, but giving birth at such a young age, especially to twins, nearly kills her, and permanently damages her health. | |

Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Duchess Julianna can be curt, cold, mean, and downright obstructive at times if she views it as necessary. She's also one of the only nobles in the entire empire who puts Nova before her own selfish whims, will risk her neck for you without a second thought in defense of the nation, and is also one of the only people who is actually trying to protect Elodie, instead of simply wanting her dead. | |

And Now You Must Marry Me | |
| Long Live the Queen (Visual Novel) / int_478ae179 | comment |
And Now You Must Marry Me: Subverted in the endgame — the Big Bad is already married and has no interest in a fourteen-year-old. This is a possible goal of the Duke of Maree, if you surrender his lands to Ixion or punish his sister for her attempted power play. You can also spin the circumstances around. If your skills are high enough that you realize that Banion is trying to suggest you have a secret relationship, then play along with it anyway, you have the option of informing him he fits your type, and you intend on marrying him. The epilogue details that Elodie takes special steps to ensure it's known that she has the power in the relationship. In a variation, you can enact And Now You Must Marry Him regarding the Ixion crisis, forcing Brin, Duchess of Hellas to be married off in order to resolve the conflict which she started in the first place. | |

Golden Ending | |

Golden Ending: Downplayed. Elodie can make some undeniably good choices, and some endgame outcomes are definitely better than others. However, some positive outcomes are mutually exclusive with others, leading to even the happiest endings still possessing at least one element that's less than ideal (usually either Lumens still being considered social pariahs and thus Elodie's mentors being unable to be publicly be together or the Big Bad still being alive, in power, and apparently still willing to invade Nova again if he gets the opportunity). | |

Personality Powers: Lumens in general, for those whose powers get much description. Elodie's are light-based with a bit of a moon theme, Selene has water-related powers, Julianna has earth magic, and Charlotte has an innate healing power even without being a Lumen herself. The murderer who strangled his wife has magic chains, befitting a criminal, and Lucille has power over absence, and uses it to cancel Elodie's voice if confronted on it, and secretly uses it to render her infertile if Elodie doesn't marry in one of the epilogues. | |

Downer Ending | |
| Long Live the Queen (Visual Novel) / int_4e3d253b | comment |
Downer Ending: The nature of the game means there are a lot of them. Evening reaching coronation doesn't guarantee a cheerful ending, as any of the following can happen: both of Elodie's parents are murdered, the murderer is a Karma Houdini who's moving to conquer another country, Elodie has been poisoned by her "loving" aunt to keep her from having children and forcing her to relinquish power to her aunt's lineage, and her rejection of her Lumen crystal leads to a rise in violent prejudice against magic. A psychopathic Elodie may plunge Nova into an age of terror and strife, as well. The "To Serve Evil" ending takes the cake, in which Elodie willfully betrays her nation and kills her own father, then becomes Togami's enforcer, resulting in much of Nova trying to pretend that she never existed. This already bleak ending is even bleaker if Charlotte is Elodie's heir at this point, as the fears towards another unstable underage magical monarch lead to a civil war that will forever devastate Nova. | |

High cruelty is key for the Evil Minion Route and achivement but also effects certain flavor text, such as how Elodie treats prisoners when you visit the dungeon, whether or not commoners are afraid of you, and certain text in the epilogue. | |

Power Crystal | |

Power Crystal: Lumens are empowered by special stones called Lumen Crystals. Whether or not Elodie chooses to recover the Lumen Crystal passed down from her mother has a big effect on how the plot can unfold. | |

Age-Gap Romance | |
| Long Live the Queen (Visual Novel) / int_52196c03 | comment |
Banion is a definite male example, said by the game to have been waiting for a powerful heiress to accept his suit for quite some time (and before Elodie, he at least tried to court Julianna). Since being king consort would be the ultimate status boost, he aggressively pursues Elodie throughout the game. Counts as a Age-Gap Romance, since he's 31, and she's only 14. If she forced his sister to marry an Ixionite lord, he will make an attempt to coerce her into marriage at the grand ball - alternatively, if she's pissed off the nobility enough, he will depose her as ruler and force her to marry him (even though she is still legally too young to wed), which nets you a game over. He's so eager for the prestige, that Elodie can always propose marriage to him at the end of the game, and he will always accept, even if he hates you so much that he previously tried to have you assassinated. If you killed his sister, he later gets his revenge by poisoning Elodie when she becomes pregnant (though very carefully, so their unborn child is left unharmed), allowing him to effectively seize power over Nova. Then he takes their daughter away from the now sickly Elodie as soon as she's born, and names her after his late sister. | |

Fantastic Racism | |
| Long Live the Queen (Visual Novel) / int_57b80b45 | comment |
Fantastic Racism: There's an undercurrent of tension between Lumens and non-empowered commoners due in part to a tragic event that happened in the backstory. As a result, any Lumens outside either the royal house or the Duchess of Ursul keep their abilities a secret for fear of inviting persecution. If Lucille is appointed Lumen Minister, it's noted at the ball Elodie may attend later that other nobility are openly shunning her for her status. | |

Art-Style Dissonance: The aesthetics make the visual novel look like a Magical Girl anime. Everything is bright and colorful, the characters are adorable, and Elodie in particular has all sorts of cute outfits to wear. It all masks that this is a very dreary Crapsack World with horrific monsters and cutthroat politics that will often force the protagonist to make some morally questionable decisions. | |

My Girl Is Not a Slut | |
| Long Live the Queen (Visual Novel) / int_586db75d | comment |
My Girl Is Not a Slut: Banion can play the Double Standard in the trope against Elodie at the Ball, in some circumstances. There's no dishonor on him for implying that he's been having sex with an underage girl, but the barb is pointedly aimed to upset Elodie by essentially calling her a slut in public and get her to react. If Elodie can handle it calmly, she can deflect the issue without losing face. Alternatively, if Elodie is engaged to Talarist and invites him to the ball, he will deny the accusations if he doesn't think Elodie will. | |

Police Are Useless | |
| Long Live the Queen (Visual Novel) / int_59907e4f | comment |
Police Are Useless: If pressed, your Lumen mentor will coldly monologue about the importance of Lumens to the safety of Nova and how Elodie is merely a mortal queen, while Lumens owe allegiance to magic and Nova itself, and much ado is made of Julianna choosing to accept the disgrace of being a Lumen for the greater good. Unfortunately, outside of the milk viper incident within the first few weeks of the game and the Lumen lessons themselves, your mentor will never actually help you of her own volition again, and if she does, it's because you've alerted her to a danger that she would otherwise not have noticed. This is especially jarring for Julianna, who feels responsible for Fidelia's death because she wasn't there to prevent it, but will actually be in the castle during most of the magical attacks on Elodie and do absolutely nothing to help, including letting Togami kill Joslyn (even though she's a skilled swordswoman and powerful Lumen combatant, the exact same skills Elodie needs to win that battle) so that he'll take Joslyn's crystal and leave Nova alone. In a greater sense, the cycle of magical tragedies (and the reason Lumens are so poorly regarded in general) are because of the tendency for power-hungry Lumens to be useless as protectors of anyone but themselves. | |

Vicious Cycle | |
| Long Live the Queen (Visual Novel) / int_59f47557 | comment |
Vicious Cycle: High levels in History and Lore reveal that there have been multiple "cycles" of Lumen rulers becoming too conceited with their own powers and eventually causing a great disaster, which forces humanity to migrate to a new land and anti-Lumen sentiment to reach fever pitch. This anti-Lumen movement would inevitably destroy all existing knowledge of Lumen magic... including any information on what led to the initial disaster, setting the stage for future Lumens to repeat past mistakes. If Elodie becomes Queen after discovering this, then she takes measures to preserve and spread this knowledge with the hope of preventing the cycle from continuing. | |

Wife Husbandry: One of the other custody options for the aforementioned Duke of Elath is to bring him to the palace as Elodie's betrothed (though to be sure, Elodie is only two years older). They end up more friendly than romantic. Elodie can also express interest in marrying her friend's little brother Anciet, who's even younger, but the epilogue indicates that nobody seriously considers it except Anciet himself, who proposes after coming of age. | |

Perfectly Arranged Marriage | |
| Long Live the Queen (Visual Novel) / int_629fa757 | comment |
Perfectly Arranged Marriage: The Duke of Sedna is an interesting case; it's possible to either become engaged to him near the beginning of the game or decide to pursue him after Elodie's coronation (if you didn't burn your bridges), but only in the latter case do you get a description of how well the marriage works instead of how fancy the wedding is. It's implied that Joslyn and Queen Fidelia (Elodie's parents) were this, as Joslyn doesn't really seem to ever get over her death. He can remarry, but it's more a duty thing than anything else. It may have even been a love match to begin with. Surprisingly, this can happen with Arisse's son, Thaddeus, whom Elodie will be forced to marry if she upsets the nobility enough and doesn't want to fight a civil war. If you've made the right choices to avert any public scandals, the two enjoy a peaceful marriage. If Elodie has a secret affair with Banion, she gives birth to a son whom everyone suspects was fathered by him, but Thaddeus is a very loving and protective father to the boy regardless. | |

Heroic Sacrifice: If Elodie accepts the duel with Togami even though she isn't a Lumen, her father will become one on the spot to take her place. It can be downplayed if you find an anti-magic artifact earlier on in the game - Joslyn survives, but is permanently physically and mentally impaired. Elodie herself can choose to do this to get rid of the kraken, which obviously ends the game. | |

All Girls Like Ponies: You, as the player, can selectively invoke this trope by giving Elodie an education in training and handling horses. Spoofed in one event. Under certain circumstances, Arisse sends Elodie a decorative horse pillow, and under more certain circumstances, this is her reaction: Talarist invokes this in the ending where he's engaged to Elodie during the game, as he attempts to distract his young wife with a wedding gift of horses while he gets busy with politicking. | |

Hidden Backup Prince | |
| Long Live the Queen (Visual Novel) / int_67c0ef1a | comment |
Hidden Backup Prince: A possible epilogue outcome, though unlikely to be true, given the circumstances where it comes up. In two possible outcomes for Elodie's father and the duchy of Caloris that he holds in addition to being the former King-consort, a young man will try to make a claim on the duchy, declaring that he's Elodie's father's illegitimate son from before his marriage to her mother. However, since this only occurs if her father is either dead or mentally incapacitated, his story is highly dubious at best. If Elodie's father is dead, she just ignores the man entirely, since no one can verify his claims. If her father is alive, but suffered brain damage, the latter does accept the man as his son, and names him as the heir to the duchy - but Elodie is extremely doubtful that the man really is her half brother, given her father's compromised state of mind. | |

The Earl of Io really likes being a rageaholic ham willing to kill anyone even vaguely suspected of wanting to harm his family. If he challenges Elodie to a duel, spittle flies away from his mouth with each word. | |

Evil Uncle | |
| Long Live the Queen (Visual Novel) / int_688afa6a | comment |
Evil Uncle: Subverted. If you get a certain event, it looks like Uncle Laurent tried to have Elodie killed so that he could take the throne, but that was actually his wife Lucille's doing. She's trying to get Elodie out of the way so her daughter can inherit the throne and the Power Crystal. Which means Lucille will have to bump off Laurent as well to reach her goal. | |

Rebellious Princess | |
| Long Live the Queen (Visual Novel) / int_6a1cbf28 | comment |
Rebellious Princess: Depending on choices and how many points of Willfulness you accumulate, Elodie can become one. Briony is the heir to the duchy of Mead, and is sick and tired of her parents' bickering and over-protectiveness of her, asking for Elodie to help her run away from home and go on an adventure in the Old Capital. It turns out that's all due to a skeleton in their family's closet that her mother is desperate to protect her from. It's also deconstructed in that if Elodie can't get her through the forest or prevent her from going in the first place, she is killed. | |

The Power of Rock | |
| Long Live the Queen (Visual Novel) / int_6a6c1f35 | comment |
The Power of Rock: The Big Bad used to be a musician. The only non-lethal way you're going to get out of the duel with him is by singing - and you need a damn good amount of training to instill a change of heart in him. Foreshadowed somewhat in that the music competition is one of the few tournament categories you can actually win, suggesting that a fully-trained Elodie is truly exceptional (as opposed to just good for a fourteen-year-old). | |

Jerkass Has a Point | |
| Long Live the Queen (Visual Novel) / int_6b05b601 | comment |
Jerkass Has a Point: Joslyn's certainly not a Jerkass by habit, but him forbidding Elodie's access to a Lumen crystal when she otherwise has nigh-unlimited authority over the kingdom seems to be unusually arbitrary and out of character at first. However, closer examination of the backstory reveals that he has good reasons: Not only are there multiple accounts of Lumen users with more power than knowledge or wisdom wreaking havoc by deploying their powers recklessly, but Elodie's mother was specifically targeted for assassination because she had a Lumen crystal that someone else wanted. | |

Meaningful Name | |
| Long Live the Queen (Visual Novel) / int_6bda9a30 | comment |
Meaningful Name: The Depraved Homosexual Duke of Mead was named Hyacinth. According to Word of God here, most of the duchies of Nova are named after impact craters (in the sense of "Boom!" and calamity), while Nova is named in the sense of stars going nova. The exceptions are Maree (after lava-filled lunar basins — two of its territories, Imbrium and Serenitatis, are named after specific ones), Kigal (after the death goddess Ereshkigal), Lillah (after Lilith), and Elath (meaning 'Goddess'). invoked "Elodie" is the French rendering of the name of Saint Alodia, a child martyr honored by the medieval Catholic Church. In keeping with the astronomical themes, it's also the name of an asteroid. Her name also contains the word "die", which is something she will spend a lot of time doing. Additionally, Elodie is arguably the truncated varation of the musical term Melody. (M)elodie's name can be considered meaningful as the music competition is one of the few contests she can outright win (implying that she's rather exceptional even despite her young age) and also the arguably Golden Ending is done through the difficult achievement path "Power of Music". Sedna, a duchy in neighboring Talasse, is the name of both a space object and an Inuit sea goddess. A beautiful young countess named Sirin tries to move in on Elodie's father, much to her displeasure. She's the Countess of Miranda and Callisto, which are the names of both literary characters and moons. Lucille is the Countess of Nix. Her Lumen power is based on nothingness. Selene the name of a moon goddess. Her Lumen powers are rooted in the ocean, and the moon famously influences the tides. | |

Driven to Suicide: If Elodie chooses to sacrifice herself to the kraken, the dialogue shows it's less Heroic Sacrifice and more depression: she's choosing to do so because she felt like she'll never be a good queen due to all the decisions she's made and her lack of experience. | |

If you take Elodie hunting at the weekend while she is in an Angry mood, the game describes you taking your anger out on poor woodland creatures. Similarly, if she already has high cruelty when visiting the dungeons, she'll poke the prisoners with a stick. Which raises her cruelty even more. | |

Guide Dang It! | |
| Long Live the Queen (Visual Novel) / int_6ec989d8 | comment |
Defeating them in battle is an extremely difficult Guide Dang It!; if successful, Nova is safe for the time being, but the Shanjians will certainly return for revenge one day. If you lose, you will be confronted by their king, Togami, face to face. Kill him in a magic duel, and his remaining troops loot the countryside and slaughter countless innocents - plus you gain a very dangerous enemy in his now widowed and absolutely enraged queen. If your magic isn't strong enough, he kills you. If you have no magic at all because you refused your crystal, your father will fight instead, and will either die, or be left with permanent brain damage. There is one way to resolve the encounter peacefully and form an uneasy friendship with the Shanjians, but doing so is another Guide Dang It! that requires you to pass a number of very difficult skill checks, and a good chunk of lives were still lost in the battle that preceded it. | |

Culture Blind: Elodie knows nothing about royal etiquette at the start of the game, not even things the crown princess might reasonably be expected to know, like court manners. This will get her into a few binds, such as dealing with the Duke of Sedna's marriage proposal. It's explained by Elodie's time at her boarding school, where there's little to no class divide between royalty, nobility, and wealthy commoners, and her being forced to come home early because of her mother's sudden death. It's implied that her royal education would have begun when she graduated as a legal adult. | |

Thicker Than Water: This is the case for the remaining members of the Lillah-Mead ducal family. Kevan of Io is Ax-Crazy about it, while the other members are relatively more sensible, and Arisse abandoned it on two occasions when her husband and stepson needed to be put down — though one could argue that even this still fits, as by sacrificing them she would have been keeping them from dragging the rest of the family down as well. Elodie can also force Arisse and her two elder daughters to leave Nova by threatening Briony, if her reputation for cruelty is bad enough for it to be plausible. | |

For Want of a Nail | |
| Long Live the Queen (Visual Novel) / int_79a60aec | comment |
For Want Of A Nail: Since the game almost encourages Save Scumming, it's easy to see what actions lead to which results, with some of them being rather convoluted. For example, imprisoning the Duchess of Ursul in the beginning leads to the possibility of sacrificing an entirely different character to a monster. If Juliana is not there to save Elodie from a snake, she may get bitten, so Charlotte heals her and by doing so reveals that she has magical powers, which makes her an acceptable sacrifice in case Elodie accidentally summons the Kraken. | |

Stellar Name | |

Stellar Name: Many of the locations in Nova are named after impact craters or satellites in our solar system, while Nova itself is named after the stellar phenomenon. Earldoms / counties: moons include Nix (Lucille), Dysnomia (Brin), Io (Kevan), Titan (Fabian) and Callisto/Miranda (Sirin). Ishtar (Erwin, Adair's maternal grandfather) is named after an asteroid. Serenitatis (Banion) is named after an impact plain on Earth's own moon. Duchies are more often craters: Caloris (Joslyn), Mazomba (Armand), Mead (Corisande), Hellas (Brin), Elath (Adair) and Sudbury (Gwenelle). Sedna (Talarist) is named after a celestial object and located in a different country than the rest. | |

What Does She See in Him?: You can express interest in marrying Kevan, the Earl of Io despite, depending on story paths, your awareness of his incestuous relationship with his sister/his attempt to kill you/having cut someone's throat in front of your eyes. Oh, and his crippling anger issues. If he's tried to kill you, he tries again on your wedding day. If you know about the incest, which is mutually exclusive with the other path, his niece thinks it's a terrible idea but goes along with it so he'll no longer be physically close to her mother; it actually works out fairly well. | |

Off with His Head! | |
| Long Live the Queen (Visual Novel) / int_7e6c0522 | comment |
Off with His Head!: If you've maxed out Wield Magic and Resist Magic, and are fast in the reflexes department, this is Togami's fate if you decide to summon up a magical sword and end the duel. If you kill Togami, then in the epilogue, after the Queen of Shanjia's far less conquest-minded ministers try to curry favor with Nova, she sends Elodie one of their heads. A cruel Elodie gets to scream it gleefully if she chooses to execute Banion, should his attempt at a vote of no-confidence fail. This is apparently the fate of anyone she executes openly, such as Brin or the diplomat from Ixion. | |

Arranged Marriage | |
| Long Live the Queen (Visual Novel) / int_80621707 | comment |
Arranged Marriage: Played with in that you must arrange your own marriage, but otherwise played absolutely straight. There is simply no time to think about romance in the deadly world of political intrigue and military threats you are cast into. A correctly-arranged marriage brings alliances you desperately need. If you survive the game without becoming engaged or expressing interest toward anyone, Elodie may decide to wait for romance and winds up with an unnamed Earl who's good at baking. A lesbian Elodie can choose to avoid marriage and shack up with a female companion instead, if she plays her cards right. Even more elusive is taking the painstaking steps that can involve you marrying Evrard, a commoner. Elodie can also arrange someone else's marriage to stop a war. | |

Entertainingly Wrong | |
| Long Live the Queen (Visual Novel) / int_81c4faa3 | comment |
Entertainingly Wrong: When an assassin is revealed to have come from Merva, Elodie reluctantly concludes that her uncle Laurent, the Duke of Merva and her heir presumptive, is probably behind it. Lucille turns out to be the one masterminding it, so that her husband and daughter can inherit the throne. Erwin, the Earl of Ishtar, has an unfortunate tendency to have family die around him — including one of his previous wives and two of his daughters. After the death of his grandson Adair, Elodie can blame him for it and order him imprisoned or executed, especially if she doesn't know about the political situation with Elath and Talasse, and that those dead family members were part of Elath's ducal family. Elodie might be under the impression that Arisse is about to wage civil war and choose to assassinate her before her plans go in place... but a closer inspection — one that can only be done if Sabine is working as a spy — might reveal that the target merely holds a personal grudge over her stepson being sent away and has no dire intentions against Elodie. Without that extra information, there's no clear distinction between a grudge and a war, thus leading to the possibility of overreacting to the reports. Earlier, when deciding custody of Adair, passing Internal Affairs checks will have Elodie remembering Arisse is estranged from her eldest son and implicated in the deaths of her husband and stepson. This does not mean she will harm Adair. | |

Vestigial Empire: According to history lessons, Nova used to be much larger and more powerful under the command of its Lumen nobility. However, even though it's not all that it used to be, Nova is not a weak realm, and if Elodie makes it to the throne, she can start working on inverting this trope. | |

What Happened to the Mouse? | |
| Long Live the Queen (Visual Novel) / int_863fa679 | comment |
What Happened to the Mouse?: In an unpatched game, Togami's Lumen crystal. He proposed the Wizard Duel to win Elodie's, and if he killed Joslyn he took the crystal off his corpse, but if Elodie defeated him his crystal was never mentioned again. A later patch accounted for the crystal and gave Elodie the opportunity to do something productive with it. One of the possible outcomes of the duel at the royal tournament is Elodie bludgeoning Kevan over the head with her staff when he refuses to surrender. She doesn't know or care whether she killed him, and we never do find out. In the context of a single playthrough, if he's after Elodie because of Briony's death and Elodie didn't actually cause it, she never gets an explanation for why he's out for her blood. | |

Black-and-Gray Morality | |
| Long Live the Queen (Visual Novel) / int_8767b1f3 | comment |
Black-and-Gray Morality: The nobility of Nova are ruthless in the pursuit of power, and many are rather unpleasant people, but only a few are truly evil. For example, your aunt wants you dead... but is a loving mother. Your magic mentor will coldly tell you that she's not beholden to you, just Nova/magic, and she'll let you and your loved ones die rather than risk that... but she'll join you in the dangerous fleet-sinking ritual that can get you all killed to defend the country. Several nobles will be willing to kill a child (Elodie) via duels for wrongs either minor or imagined. Meanwhile, Elodie herself is likely to make some very tough choices to keep her throne and protect her kingdom. Even the most moral Elodie has her ransoming soldiers with rich families, should Nova repel the Shanjian assault at sea, and can even angrily sacrifice her cousin and best friend to a monster for her supposed role in an assassination plot. | |

Alternatively, you can avoid dealing with them altogether by using magic to annihilate their entire fleet before it can make landfall - at the cost of awakening an infinitely more more deadly Eldritch Abomination from the ocean floor. Then, you must either appease the monster by sacrificing either yourself or your cousin, or you must freeze it in tracks with a very difficult and costly magic ritual that must be renewed on a weekly basis. | |

Humiliation Conga | |
| Long Live the Queen (Visual Novel) / int_890d4ef2 | comment |
Humiliation Conga: Ignatius' life in general, at least on the path that allows Elodie to successfully romance him. His father passes him over for inheritance in favor of Julianna, despite her vocal disinterest in anything but magic. He goes on to marry into a Big, Screwed-Up Family, with the implication that he's not welcome back home. His angry, unstable, mentally-unwell brother-in-law, who violently overreacts to any and all perceived disrespect towards his family, shows up to crash on his couch. He catches a break when the new, impulsive queen arrests his sister and awards him the title, but then finds out his wife is having an affair with her own brother. This alienates him from his own daughter as the adults try to protect her from the truth by exiling her to boarding school, but this prompts her to nearly get herself killed trying to win back their attention. And then, after all the secrets are out and he finally divorces his incestuous cheating wife, his kids still choose to stay with their mother and uncle whose affair has not actually stopped because Mead is a more comfortable place to live than Ursul. Unless he accepts Elodie's proposal, he ends up alone, either abandoned or betrayed by every loved one he has. | |

Asshole Victim: It's strongly implied that the Duchess of Lillah killed her stepson and her second husband. The former abused and possibly killed a number of his servants, and the latter "seduced" her son (and his stepson) Kevan and may also have raped a teenage girl. Defending yourself against Lucille inadvertently fries her alive. Given what she was trying to do, no tears will be shed. A cruel Elodie can be one herself: such as dying to the Earl of Io for sending Briony to her death or getting sucked dry by Charlotte's mom for sacrificing Charlotte to the kraken. | |

Mineral Macguffin: Lumens rely on magic crystals for their powers. You need to get yours from the treasury, should you wish to use magic. There's a bit of a Red Herring by attempting to give a Lumen crystal to one of your more Lumen-inclined relatives, but it doesn't work, as said relative isn't a psychopathic jerk and crystals only match "frequencies" in personality and moral standing. It's un-herringed in a later patch, where you can give her one you won in a duel designed to change the resonance of the loser's crystal. | |

Take a Third Option | |
| Long Live the Queen (Visual Novel) / int_950bbfa7 | comment |
Take a Third Option: Extra options to difficult choices often show up thanks to passed skill checks: Enough Flattery allows to mediate between Elodie's best friend and her mother without taking a side. It doesn't solve their tensions, but it does help take the heat off Elodie, since the rest of the nobility is watching very carefully to see where Elodie's sympathies lie. Deciding the custody battle over the underage Duke of Elath by placing him with his beloved stepsister instead of his stepmother, who already holds perhaps excessive political influence, or his grandfather, who can't protect him. The stepsister only becomes an option if Elodie has enough Divination to realize that the elderly Duke-regent is going to die soon and ask for his input on the matter. There's another "third option", which is always available, of placing him with Elodie's paternal uncle, but this is more likely to anger his stepmother. Enough Internal Affairs allows to inquire further into the allegations of an attempted murderer who claims her act was justified, as revenge for her brother. If Elodie shows her mercy, her victim's relatives will be angry, and being nobles, Elodie lose support; if Elodie tries to punish her she goes berserk and ends up dead; if Elodie clumsily insults her accuser he'll kill her himself. Only an Elodie with enough knowledge and enough etiquette can resolve the situation without damage. After Togami storms the palace, instead of taking part in the Wizard Duel he proposes, Elodie can instead reason with him through song. This being an option requires enough Foreign Intelligence to know of the aspect of his background that makes it a viable solution. Noticeably, this is the ONLY option that leaves everyone except the initial military losses alive AND leaves Nova in a stable, if not improved, political state. If you accidentally summon the kraken due to wiping out the Shanjia fleet via magic, you will either have to sacrifice yourself or take a costly and very risky ritual that will take seven years to complete. If you know Charlotte is a Lumen and are either high in cruelty or found out about her mother's attempts on your life, you can sacrifice her, instead. | |

Government in Exile | |
| Long Live the Queen (Visual Novel) / int_9646cd74 | comment |
Government in Exile: Several endgame scenarios: If Elodie is engaged to Talarist and Shanjia is approaching the capital, she has the option of fleeing to Talasse, where she will be married to Talarist and given a chance to plan a counterattack. Although she escapes with her life, the game ends here. If Elodie refuses Togami's duel and then goes to Julianna to advice, Julianna will suggest that she, Elodie, and all other known Lumens leave the capital and go into hiding to make plans to fight back. Joslyn insists on going with them, and the game ends with the group preparing to flee into the countryside; it's not clear if they'll leave Nova, but the narration notes that they'll have to sleep in forests and utilize disguises. | |

There Are No Therapists: Just lost your mother? Been subjected to numerous assassination attempts? Had several people attempt to coerce you into marriage? Fended off two foreign invasions, and possibly a civil war? Have been extremely poorly prepared for the task of running a country? Well, too bad. You're the heir to throne, and now you have a Queen's responsibilities, like it or not. Considering the medievalish setting and state of healthcare available in Nova, this is hardly surprising. | |

Never My Fault | |
| Long Live the Queen (Visual Novel) / int_973d220f | comment |
Never My Fault: Or, more accurately, never anyone in my family's fault, where Kevan is concerned: the woman who attempts to poison his sister is trying to get vigilante justice for her brother, and her claim is justified (although she's blaming the wrong family member), but Kevan will stab her himself if Elodie implies it might be true. If Briony dies, he blames Elodie and will challenge her to a duel in order to publicly kill her. Briony only tries to get to the Old Capital because her parents have kept her stuck at boarding school for years because of Kevan, and she thinks coming back with treasure is the only way her parents will let her come home again. Even the Duchess of Lillah's second husband gets a break, as he is referred to as having "seduced" Kevan and had a "relationship" with him, even though virtually everything about the situation indicates it was not consensual. | |

Marriage of Convenience | |
| Long Live the Queen (Visual Novel) / int_9b34ee31 | comment |
If she's unable to have children, Elodie's delayed marriage to Banion can end up like this. The lack of sparks is so apparent that even guests at the wedding notice the distance between the couple. This actually is the best ending the two of them can have together without involving his sister, since the narrative describes it as a partnership where both are content with their choices. | |

Foreshadowing | |
| Long Live the Queen (Visual Novel) / int_9d12bbc1 | comment |
Foreshadowing: Lots of information pertaining to things which happen in game are foreshadowed either in the flavor text for Elodie's classes, or during conversations with other characters. Some points are more obscure than others; for example: With high enough Lore, you uncover a theory suggesting that Bad Things happen when enough powerful Lumen get together. If you use Lumen powers to sink the Shanjian fleet, you either create a freak wave which drowns Elodie, or cause a sacrifice-demanding sea monster to awaken. The only competition Elodie can win during the tournament is the music one, which suggests she is an incredible performer. A few weeks later, her music skills become vital in the Save the Day with the Power of Music ending. If you become engaged to Adair, the Duke of Sedna will always cause trouble at your borders, no matter how kind you've been to him in the past. While at first glance it may be because you've spurned him, having good internal and foreign affair levels will reveal that he's actually Adair's next of kin, and therefore the very strategically important Duchy of Elath will pass to him if Adair dies. If you do not marry Adair, he'll send assassins to eliminate him to ensure this succession, and furthermore, it's heavily implied that he killed the rest of Adair's family to reach this end. However, Elodie marrying Adair and therefore taking him under the protection of the crown has completely destroyed his plans. It's a small wonder that he's a little bitter. Someone killed the rest of Adair's family, but it couldn't have been the Duke of Sedna, who was only six years old at the time. This plot may have been going on for generations. In a possible conversation after Julianna's arrival, Charlotte mentions her mother says people hate Lumen because they're jealous. Her mother is a Lumen herself and grooming Charlotte to become one as well. After the scene with the milk viper, Lucille comes to see what all the commotion was about, only to freak out and leave the palace with her daughter upon being told that there was a snake. She'll do this even if no one tells her the snake was poisonous. Lucille accidentally reveals her plot to kill Elodie early on. | |

The "To Serve Evil" ending takes the cake, in which Elodie willfully betrays her nation and kills her own father, then becomes Togami's enforcer, resulting in much of Nova trying to pretend that she never existed. This already bleak ending is even bleaker if Charlotte is Elodie's heir at this point, as the fears towards another unstable underage magical monarch lead to a civil war that will forever devastate Nova. | |

Passive-Aggressive Kombat: With enough Conversation skills, Elodie can engage in this. For example, when driving off a woman making a move on her father, she can compliment her on a brooch—saying that it reminds her of one her mother used to wear. Banion, the Duke of Maree, is also a practitioner; the toast he gives at the ball if he's unhappy with the handling of the Ixion situation drips with so much sarcasm that an insufficiently composed Elodie may be spurred to kill him. A sufficiently composed Elodie may repay him in kind. | |

Nice to the Waiter: The lessons in Court Manners encourage treating servants with respect, as it ensures better service. Generally subverted in the case of Alice. Most interactions Elodie has with her tend to be cruel dog-kicking moments. Even actions that would typically be considered generous or even romantic, like dancing with her at a ball or giving her gifts that were meant for you, add to the Cruelty meter as these are more about spiting the nobility in ways that bring unwanted attention to the poor maid. | |

Black Sheep | |
| Long Live the Queen (Visual Novel) / int_a3a7c41 | comment |
Several more seem in the offing. The ducal families are tightly intermarried, with few cadet branches, and titles have tended to pool - most notable are the siblings Banion and Brin, who each hold a duchy and an earldom/county. They're both over thirty, unmarried with no acknowledged children, and their only known heirs are their Black Sheep brother Bennett and his young son. If both of them die, Bennett takes Brin's duchy and his son takes Banion's - and since a noble of Nova can't hold two duchies at once, Bennett will need to have another child to inherit Hellas or else play further succession ping-pong with Anciet's potential children. Then there's the brothers who hold the duchies of Caloris and Mazomba - Armand is a bachelor and Joslyn is a widower who has one daughter who can't succeed him as the duchess because she's already the crown princess. If Joslyn dies, since neither Armand nor Elodie are eligible to succeed him, the options are one claimant who might be his illegitimate son, his brother-in-law, or someone with no mentioned relation to him whatsoever. | |

Karma Houdini | |
| Long Live the Queen (Visual Novel) / int_a70223 | comment |
Karma Houdini: Attempting to arrest the person responsible for multiple assassination attempts on you, instead of killing her (or her family), causes her to escape, kill the guards sent after her, and kill her husband. You can also unwittingly give her exactly what she wants by allowing her to poison a vulnerable Elodie in the epilogue, rendering her infertile and leaving an opening for her own daughter to inherit the crown. The person in question even gets to become Prime Minister in one scenario. Togami can get away with killing your father, destroying your military, and going on to do the same thing to Borealis and any country he suspects has Lumens in it. Even with the Good ending where you convince Togami to stop his invasion with The Power of Music. He still gets away with killing your mother, which he never reveals to you even after you befriend him. As well as all the previous people and foreign countries he butchered in his rise to power. Elodie, if you play your cards right. Such as remaining happily married while you condemned your family and "favorite cousin" to horrifying deaths. | |

Red Eyes, Take Warning | |
| Long Live the Queen (Visual Novel) / int_a939a527 | comment |
Red Eyes, Take Warning: Togami. But averted with Charlotte, who is sweeter than even a non-cruel Elodie and isn't involved in her mother's assassination plot on Elodie, although the fact that she can inherit Togami's Lumen crystal makes one wonder... | |

Adults Are Useless | |
| Long Live the Queen (Visual Novel) / int_a939d96a | comment |
There are very few instances where other people tell Elodie about things without prompting, often resulting in Adults Are Useless. One of the more prominent examples is a discussion with her father who's telling her that she'll have to be on her guard. If Elodie has studied Intrigue by this point, she can ask whether the royal court doesn't have agents for that sort of thing. This prompts the father to say that of course they have agents and ask what sort of problems they should be looking out for. Depending on the choice, they can defuse several difficult-to-avoid potential game overs. If Elodie hasn't got the Intrigue skills, she won't ask about the agents and her father won't talk about them, and the agents won't assassinate a rebel noble, noticing a war-mongering foreign nation, guarding Elodie against brigands or averting a peasant rebellion. | |

Deliberate Values Dissonance | |
| Long Live the Queen (Visual Novel) / int_aabe2fb | comment |
Subverted when Elodie can feed Charlotte to the kraken without a high Cruelty score if she discovers that Charlotte's mother sent her the poisoned chocolates, in which case she considers it part of punishing the family, even thinking that the seemingly-innocent victim might have been in on the plot (According to Word of God, she wasn't). This doesn't horrify her father any less, nor does it make the people of Nova any less unnerved. | |

Pyrrhic Victory | |
| Long Live the Queen (Visual Novel) / int_ad9fbc1e | comment |
If Selene is your Lumen mentor, rather than Julianna, you won't be able to sink their ships; instead, you will be presented with the option of using a magic ritual to set off an enormous earthquake directly under the invaders' camp. It succeeds in killing Togami and shattering most of the Shanjian army - but also causes devastating damage to nearby lands, leaving many towns and villages in ruins. Your treasury takes a huge hit from the cost of rebuilding, as does your popularity from the loss of innocent life. | |

Pretty Princess Powerhouse | |
| Long Live the Queen (Visual Novel) / int_af7bed7f | comment |
Pretty Princess Powerhouse: Elodie is cute little pink-haired princess, with several (skill boosting) outfits to choose from. These skills can include Weaponry, Athleticism, Military, and Lumen, and she can use them for things like fighting Togami in a duel or personally leading her naval fleet. Being a young crown princess in training for the throne doesn't mean Elodie can't tackle certain threats with a head-on approach. Solving issues with her military, magic, and weapon skills is the clearest example, although with the right training, Elodie can be a Guile Heroine who unflinchingly talks down those who want her dead. | |

Wicked Stepmother | |
| Long Live the Queen (Visual Novel) / int_b070362d | comment |
Wicked Stepmother: Arisse, the Duchess of Lillah, is implicated in the deaths of several people and is also the stepmother of the twelve-year-old Duke of Elath. However, it's ultimately subverted—his aging father would much rather leave him in the custody of Arisse than the boy's grandfather, and Arisse is also much more likely than the grandfather to keep him alive. Played with by Arisse's stepson, the Duke of Mead. Yes, she had him murdered, but that was because he was a Depraved Homosexual and Serial Killer, and instead of gaining control of his lands, they go to his younger half-sister, her daughter. However, Arisse's second husband Jael probably qualifies as a Wicked Stepfather, given that he "seduced" his stepson Kevan, who judging from the age of his eldest half-brother (Kevan is thirty-three, Kiran is nineteen) would've been a preteen or a very young teenager at the time of the marriage. | |

Bread and Circuses | |

Bread and Circuses: During Week 38, if Elodie's commoner approval is very low (which is more likely than not caused by her cruel actions) and she directed her agents to watch for a possible commoner uprising, she can arrange a free concert or medications for the poor to avoid the popular discontent from spiraling out of control. | |

Abusive Parents | |
| Long Live the Queen (Visual Novel) / int_b11ac9f5 | comment |
Abusive Parents: A veritable conga-line of them through the Duchess of Lillah's brood. Starting from the bottom, Briony is neglected by her parents. Then we have her parents, who are on the verge of divorce because her mother is having an affair with her own brother. That brother, Kevan, is emotionally unstable because he was "seduced" as a young teenager by his own stepfather; Kevan's younger brother Thaddeus witnessed it, and when the Duchess of Lillah found out, she immediately divorced her husband and had him killed for trying to continue his affair with Kevan, and is implied to have thrown Kevan out of her home entirely for it... which caused him to come live with his sister in the first place. It's a vicious circle with an awful lot of spokes, and the Duchess is the hub. | |

Loophole Abuse | |

Loophole Abuse: One of the conditions Togami sets on his duel with Elodie is that it's a test of magical power, not of weapon skills. This doesn't prevent Elodie from conjuring a magic sword from Hard Light and using it to behead him if you choose the appropriate option and have enough points in Swords to make it work. | |

Widowed at the Wedding | |
| Long Live the Queen (Visual Novel) / int_b4b2a42a | comment |
Widowed at the Wedding: This can happen in one epilogue. If you defeat Kevan in a duel but force him to yield rather than kill him, or just don't give him a chance to deliver his challenge in the first place, he will later be happy to accept a marriage proposal from you... just so he can have another shot at killing you. He attempts to kill Elodie at their wedding, but fails spectacularly and is cut down by the royal guard. Understandably, Elodie becomes averse to the idea of marriage after that. | |

Too Dumb to Live | |
| Long Live the Queen (Visual Novel) / int_b58b4e3c | comment |
Too Dumb to Live: Quite a few of Elodie's deaths are caused by her simply not knowing that whatever she's trying to do is exactly the wrong thing for that situation. Since most of these are based on skill checks, this can be averted on a case-by-case basis depending on how the player has been guiding her education. If an assassin comes at you during the Nova-sponsored tournament, he may try attacking you after the Archery tournament. Should you block his attack, he is turned into a pincushion by every archer present. Everything about Elodie and Briony's trip into the Old Capital. Bumbling into a monster infested forest from which no one has ever returned? "True heroes", indeed. Should you receive chocolates and have sufficiently leveled skills, you can found out any of the following: that the company that sent it used a very unusual trade route based on its location, that it uses an suspicious level of etiquette for a company of its size, that it shouldn't be a chocolates company based on its location, that the company most likely doesn't exist, that there was an omen of death and your dog growling and barking at said chocolate. And, if you're leveled enough, you can get them all at once. You can still eat them anyway. | |

One Stat to Rule Them All | |
| Long Live the Queen (Visual Novel) / int_b798d379 | comment |
One Stat to Rule Them All: While the game is prone to suddenly requiring a so-far useless skills to be at a high level, there are a few skills that are consistently an obvious good investment: The entire Conversation skillset, as lacking it can make Elodie be unintentionally rude to the wrong people, get into compromising situations without realizing it (and getting out of some of them gracefully requires even higher Conversation skills) or look incompetent enough to have to face a rebellion. The Military skillset, especially in no-magic runs. There are three different major events that can be dealt with if Elodie's Military skills are good enough, with the last one being inevitable. Military skills not quite good enough to win may still be enough to limit losses or Know When to Fold 'Em. Composure, as it's often used for keeping Elodie from acting on impulse in situations where doing just that is the worse thing she can do. Reflexes is often checked when it comes to physically doging things that might be otherwise lethal. Even in runs not relying on it, getting it at 30 by Week 3 will accomplish the triple duty of keeping the milk viper from biting anyone in Julianna's absence, not bumping into Alice on a later week and unlocking the only means of making Elodie angry all while leaving the hidden cruelty stat alone that isn't reliant on story events. | |

Sadistic Choice | |
| Long Live the Queen (Visual Novel) / int_babc974 | comment |
Sadistic Choice: All of your options for dealing with the Shanjian invasion. Out of all the conflicts that can occur in the story, this is the one that absolutely cannot be avoided, no matter what; and no matter how you choose to deal with it, there will be casualties. Defeating them in battle is an extremely difficult Guide Dang It!; if successful, Nova is safe for the time being, but the Shanjians will certainly return for revenge one day. If you lose, you will be confronted by their king, Togami, face to face. Kill him in a magic duel, and his remaining troops loot the countryside and slaughter countless innocents - plus you gain a very dangerous enemy in his now widowed and absolutely enraged queen. If your magic isn't strong enough, he kills you. If you have no magic at all because you refused your crystal, your father will fight instead, and will either die, or be left with permanent brain damage. There is one way to resolve the encounter peacefully and form an uneasy friendship with the Shanjians, but doing so is another Guide Dang It! that requires you to pass a number of very difficult skill checks, and a good chunk of lives were still lost in the battle that preceded it. Alternatively, you can avoid dealing with them altogether by using magic to annihilate their entire fleet before it can make landfall - at the cost of awakening an infinitely more more deadly Eldritch Abomination from the ocean floor. Then, you must either appease the monster by sacrificing either yourself or your cousin, or you must freeze it in tracks with a very difficult and costly magic ritual that must be renewed on a weekly basis. If Selene is your Lumen mentor, rather than Julianna, you won't be able to sink their ships; instead, you will be presented with the option of using a magic ritual to set off an enormous earthquake directly under the invaders' camp. It succeeds in killing Togami and shattering most of the Shanjian army - but also causes devastating damage to nearby lands, leaving many towns and villages in ruins. Your treasury takes a huge hit from the cost of rebuilding, as does your popularity from the loss of innocent life. | |

You Are What You Hate: Elodie's father blames magic and Lumen for her mother's death, but if Elodie lacks her Lumen crystal, it's revealed that he also possesses a Lumen crystal when he duels Togami in his daughter's place. This is however a partial subversion: Elodie's father is NOT a Lumen throughout most of the game, only a potential one. He doesn't actually activate the crystal and become a Lumen until Togami expresses interest in a Lumen battle, becoming what he hates only to save his daughter. | |

| Long Live the Queen (Visual Novel) / int_bf1255fa | comment |
Really Gets Around: If Elodie is cruel enough, she can refuse to marry anyone in the end and just take whatever lovers she chooses, discarding them when they become boring. If Elodie punished Brin in any way and agrees to dance with Banion in the ball after insinuating that he and Elodie have a relationship, she flat out tells Banion that she's allowed to pick and choose whoever she likes, though this is an empty threat if your Elodie isn't cruel enough. | |

Non-Standard Game Over | |
| Long Live the Queen (Visual Novel) / int_c03fec8b | comment |
Nonstandard Game Over: While getting Elodie killed is the most obvious way to end the game, there are a few situations where she can get away with her life but not her crown. These include being turned into a a mere figurehead by powerful nobles, being forced to abdicate by a peasant revolt and fleeing the country in the face of a foreign invasion. | |

Light 'em Up: Elodie (Light is a constant theme in her Lumen training and even shows up in one of her Meditation classes even if she's not a Lumen. Elements of Hard Light and Playing with Fire are thrown in as well. Regardless of if she's a Lumen or not, the final epilogue slide shows Queen Elodie shining brightly.) | |

Character Portrait | |
| Long Live the Queen (Visual Novel) / int_c1cc369f | comment |
Character Portrait: Given to named characters with dialogue (which means that a number of characters, including several love/marriage interests, don't get one). Elodie's is one of the few whose portrait differs according to mood (as well as according to what she's wearing). This used to lead to small incongruities like Charlotte's cheerful portrait coupled with her telling Elodie to stay away from her after killing Charlotte's mother, but this bug has since been fixed. | |

Cataclysm Backstory | |

A history-focused Elodie will eventually discover that Nova has a Cataclysm Backstory twice over. Its original settlers were northern Lumens looking for a more hospitable land after wars between them left half the continent they were from unlivable. Then their descendants forgot their roots and almost repeated the whole thing. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Long Live the Queen (Visual Novel) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: The Steam achievement for getting your very first death is Congratulations on your Recent Demise. The Lumen power-up sequence is a clear nod to Sailor Moon. If Julianna and Selene openly marry, the ending slide you get is Briony in a Sailor outfit, and Julianna and Selene themselves echo back to Sailor Uranus and Sailor Neptune, who also had earth-shaking and ocean-based powers and a Tomboy and Girly Girl dynamic. In addition, the duchies that their crystals belong to, Ursul and Mazomba are named after Ursula and Mazomba: a crater on Uranus's moon Titania and a crater on Neptune's moon Triton, respectively. The rulers of Shanjia are named Togami and Junko. The ending slide if Elodie skimps on her coronation feast is based on a historical disaster at the coronation of Nicholas II of Russia. The trading card you get for a drowned Elodie on the Steam version reads E is for Elodie, who sleeps with the fishes. Elodie's activation phrase when bonding with her crystal under Selene's instruction: "I do believe in magic. I do." The background figure King Latimer, whose "gathering light" led to the growth of the Novan empire, shares his name with a Protestant martyr who was burned for heresy and whose last words also involved light. The Steam achievement for poisoning a chicken is called "An Ex Chicken", after the Monty Python sketch that uses the same terminology while talking about its titular dead parrot. | |

Iron Lady | |
| Long Live the Queen (Visual Novel) / int_c91bf297 | comment |
Iron Lady: Arisse, the Duchess of Lillah. Next to Elodie, she is the most powerful noble in the kingdom, nicknamed the "Eastern Queen" because of her influence over multiple duchies, and absolutely not to be crossed. It's strongly implied that she had her stepson and her second husband killed when they went completely beyond the pale of acceptable behavior (rape, torture, serial killing). If Elodie completely mismanages the kingdom, she'll declare civil war to set the kingdom right - or force Elodie to pick her up as a mentor. A heavily military-oriented Elodie can become one, personally commanding the fleet against the invading Shanjian force. | |

Video Game Caring Potential | |
| Long Live the Queen (Visual Novel) / int_c9861848 | comment |
Video Game Caring Potential : Even with Elodie being surrounded by Decadent Court who wants her dead/overthrown/puppeted and foreign invasion looming on the horizon, it's still perfectly possible to make morally right choices (with enough amount of supporting stats of course) that not only save her life/crown but also improving her legtimacy and Nova's living standards. This includes solving the territorial dispute with Ixion peacefully, investing on technological breakthrough such as printing press and centralized healthcare, make a fair judgment that the culprit willingly accept imprisonment while appeasing Kevan, sanctioning pro-Lumen materials to improve their image among people, recruiting Lucille as Lumen Minister (appeasing her enough that she will stop further attempts on Elodie's life), bonding with Adair if he was chosen as future husband and live in the castle, sending emergency aid to the people when Talarist causing trade disruption and shortages, heals the wounded rebel soldiers after the civil war and earning back their loyalty, convincing Kevan to stop his (possibly unjustified) rage and sparing his life, successfully convince Togami to stop his conquest by singing to him. | |

Word of God | |
| Long Live the Queen (Visual Novel) / int_cc4b45f6 | comment |
According to Word of God here, most of the duchies of Nova are named after impact craters (in the sense of "Boom!" and calamity), while Nova is named in the sense of stars going nova. The exceptions are Maree (after lava-filled lunar basins — two of its territories, Imbrium and Serenitatis, are named after specific ones), Kigal (after the death goddess Ereshkigal), Lillah (after Lilith), and Elath (meaning 'Goddess'). invoked | |

Broken Bird | |
| Long Live the Queen (Visual Novel) / int_d08595d3 | comment |
Broken Bird: Elodie can easily become this if you make her depressed enough times. And she's getting this way right from the beginning — the first in-game screen you'll see is Elodie looking sadly back at you while soft music plays. One of the epilogues establishes her pretty solidly as one: If a sterilized Elodie delays her marriage to Talarist after Joslyn dies and maxes out the Faith skillset, they will divorce, leaving Elodie completely alone. She never recovers from her grief, and instead devotes herself to her faith in an effort to find meaning in it. Her father Joslyn is a male version of this. He never seems to get over his wife's death. | |

What the Hell, Hero?: If Elodie goes with Briony on her foolish, life-threatening adventure and both of them live to tell the tale, they will get some serious and obviously deserved scolding from Corisande and Joslyn. Corisande (Briony's mum), in particular, notes that there are no such thing as "heroes", only reckless idiots who get themselves killed. Double points if you abandon her. A Cruel Elodie joining with Togami gets the entirety of Nova turned on her. Congratulations, you've managed to unify the dumb, horrendously evil noble squabbling and plotting! By being an enormous bastard. Your father will be absolutely horrified if you sacrifice Charlotte, who's your best friend and cousin, to the kraken. Joslyn will give you a rather silent one should you opt to take drastic measures in getting your crystal, knowing you were behind the murder of the treasury guards. | |

Does Not Like Magic: The King Dowager, who does, in fact, have Lumen potential and his own crystal, forbids his daughter to have anything to do with Lumen, and enforces it with armed guards whom Elodie has to force her way past. Novans in general to a lesser extent. Lumen are by and large feared, though Elodie's use of Lumen is seen as acceptable because she's the Queen. Elodie herself, potentially. Starting with locking up a Lumen who offered to teach you magic (and you've got the option to keep her there indefinitely), and spiraling from there. | |

Fictional Age of Majority | |

Fictional Age of Majority: The age of majority in Nova is 15. The main goal of the game is for Elodie to survive to her fifteenth birthday so she can be crowned queen. She is able to court many people who are old enough to be her father, but she can't immediately marry Adair, who is two years her junior, until he comes of age. Gwenelle and Briony have conflicts with their mothers because they are teenagers but also legal adults who can make their own decisions. | |

There's also a hint of this in the ending where you successfully marry her other troubled son Kevan (which necessitates knowing about his incestuous relationships), in which you eventually successfully shift his fanatical loyalties from his family to you. | |

Innocent Blue Eyes | |
| Long Live the Queen (Visual Novel) / int_d935ee2f | comment |
Innocent Blue Eyes: Elodie's bright blue eyes are a reflection of her initial naiveté. Whether she remains so, of course, is up to the player's decisions. His new portrait shows that Adair has them. Elodie gets hers from her father. It's subtle, but Joslyn married young, is actually pretty easy to manipulate if Elodie doesn't run interference for him, and won't hesitate to give up his life to protect her even if she's been cruel. He may be in mourning and aware of the more manipulative aspects of ruling, but he himself is actually pretty innocent. This also implies that Fidelia didn't have them, reinforcing her reputation as a sharp monarch. | |

Superpowerful Genetics | |
| Long Live the Queen (Visual Novel) / int_dc2c2968 | comment |
Superpowerful Genetics: Being the child of a Lumen doesn't make you a Lumen, but the potential to become one once provided with a crystal runs in families and very small powers can turn up beforehand if one parent is already a Lumen by the time her child is born, and the other parent is a potential Lumen — Charlotte has Healing Hands, and Elodie starts to emit light once she's skilled enough in meditation. | |

Despair Event Horizon | |
| Long Live the Queen (Visual Novel) / int_dda99fa8 | comment |
Despair Event Horizon: While both Joslyn and Julianna start the game suffering from serious depression over Fidelia's death, making them much less useful than they ought to be, both are capable of coming out of it. The one who gets this worst is Elodie's uncle Laurent if Elodie publicly accuses him of trying to assassinate her, and Lucille promptly joins in the accusation to cover her own tracks. Between his sister's death and his wife's betrayal, Laurent simply gives up and allows himself to be led away to be executed, saying nothing more than "May the gods have mercy on all our souls." | |

Tangled Family Tree: Some of the noble families come across this way due to their tendency to intermarry. See Everyone Is Related above. Elodie herself can get in on the act if she has a lesbian relationship with Brin. To facilitate this union and provide heirs for their respective titles; Elodie can marry Brin's brother, Banion - while Brin marries Elodie's father, Jocelyn. This results in making Brin and Jocelyn's son Elodie's half-brother, nephew and pseudo-stepson all rolled into one. | |

Culture Chop Suey: Nova is mostly generically "European", having regions with English, French, and even Greek-sounding names, as well as the weirdly African-sounding Mazomba. The kingdom of Shanjia is a stronger example, having many Far East-style touches, but the costumes worn by the few Shanjian characters we see are still firmly in the Medieval European Fantasy mold. | |

The Military skillset, especially in no-magic runs. There are three different major events that can be dealt with if Elodie's Military skills are good enough, with the last one being inevitable.

Friend to All Living Things: While she can't strictly talk to animals (or hear them talk back), Elodie can learn how to handle different creatures and interpret their behavior with high enough education in animal-related skills. This is not as useless as it may sound at first. Highlights include the Evil-Detecting Dog and Elodie's trained falcon diving onto the face of an attacker. If her highest skill group by the end of the game is animal handling, Elodie develops a deep love for animals, and passes many new animal welfare laws in Nova. | |

After dispelling the magic, she tasted the water and fell dead - the green flow was a not a curse, but a spell placed by a Lumen long before to warn everyone away from the spring's natural poison." | |

Among other things, you can force a woman into marriage, abuse the servants, ramp up punishments in hopes of discouraging assassination attempts, order your uncle executed on highly circumstantial evidence, imprison Julianna for life on the assumption she had something to do with your mother's death and then start a massive manhunt for her, reduce the Duchess of Mead to tears by blaming her for her daughter's death after deliberately sending her daughter into a monster-ridden forest alone, immolate her brother with magic after he calls you out (in the case where he's right in assuming that you're responsible for Briony's death), have your father killed so you can abandon your kingdom and go on a gleeful murder spree through a foreign country, deliberately set up the last remaining heir of a bloodline in a dangerous situation after being told not to, brag to a young orphan and your future husband that you executed his stepmother for leading a rebellion, make Thaddeus a cuckold right after doing a playthrough revealing the reason why he's mentally damaged and him have to deal with rumors that him and Elodie's son probably belongs to her smug ex-fiance and feed your cousin to a kraken—or order your uncle, aunt, and all your young cousins executed for your aunt's treason. This is even integrated into the game: there's a hidden Cruelty stat that measures just how nasty Elodie has become. | |

Expy | |
| Long Live the Queen (Visual Novel) / int_e5421161 | comment |
Expy: Nova is essentially Crystal Tokyo with a more traditional medieval noble structure. Elodie (Chibiusa), a pink-haired, pigtailed princess who comes into possession of a magical crystal upon which her royal status is founded, after her mother, an impossibly-perfect and wonderful lady, is suddenly killed, and she's forced to take on responsibilities she isn't ready for in order to ensure the safety of her kingdom. Charlotte (Hotaru), a purple haired girl with healing powers, kept isolated by a loving parent, who remains Elodie's best friend despite everything they go through together. That doting parent, Lucille (Professor Tomoe) is also a major antagonist who plans to kill Elodie to empower Charlotte by stealing her crystal, all out of love for her daughter. Julianna (Haruka), a sword-wielding, generally androgynous lesbian with earth-based powers who cares much more about her duty as a magical warrior than anything else, including getting along with other people, in a relationship with... Selene (Michiru), a gentle, feminine lady with powers associated with the ocean and mirrors, willing to sacrifice whatever lives she must in order to maintain the safety of the realm (provided, of course, that Julianna will also live). Joslyn (King Endymion), a dowager king left a shadow of his former self after the loss of his beloved queen, who but dearly loves his daughter even if he can't properly be a parent to her anymore. And in true Tuxedo Mask fashion, he'll appear in the nick of time to save her once all else has failed, using his own crystal that serves as a counterpart to his wife's. | |

Light Is Not Good | |
| Long Live the Queen (Visual Novel) / int_e543a655 | comment |
Light Is Not Good: A Cruel Lumen-Oriented Elodie certainly isn't! While fire isn't exclusive to her light theme, she has a particular penchant for badly burning if not outright incinerating those who oppose her. Selene might be a respected priestess and one of Elodie's faith tutors, but that doesn't stop her from making ruthless suggestions throughout the game, though it's downplayed as she is never antagonistic to Elodie (unless Julianna is jailed indefinitely). Her ideas include poisoning castle servants, drowning guards with her powers, force-feeding a murderer salt water until he's effectively braindead, suggesting a human sacrifice to appease a kraken, and triggering a massive earthquake that destroys an invading army and, as collateral, a lot of settlements in Nova. | |

| Long Live the Queen (Visual Novel) / int_e6630c8b | comment |
There are a lot of intricately connected events in the game and the relationships between them will not be apparent at first. Working out who is trying to kill you at which points and why requires serious note-taking. If you haven't been following all the subplots, angry relatives may suddenly show up and challenge Elodie to a duel to the death... for an offense she didn't even know she committed. In a case of Gameplay and Story Integration, many of the more important facts are only listed in the little blurbs that come up when you're leveling up Elodie's education, meaning that unless you're using an external guide, the first time you play, you will literally only know what Elodie already knows. | |

Princess Protagonist: The art style seems to invoke this as a bright point, but the game ultimately deconstructs it. Elodie may get to live in the lap of luxury, wear pretty clothes, and select from a large pool of willing bachelors, but her royal status also makes her life incredibly difficult. She has to make many hard political decisions, navigate through the Decadent Court, avoid frequent attempts on her life, and at times sacrifice her own happiness for the greater good. And that's if she doesn't decide to abuse her power. | |

This is even integrated into the game: there's a hidden Cruelty stat that measures just how nasty Elodie has become. If you take Elodie hunting at the weekend while she is in an Angry mood, the game describes you taking your anger out on poor woodland creatures. Similarly, if she already has high cruelty when visiting the dungeons, she'll poke the prisoners with a stick. Which raises her cruelty even more. | |

| Long Live the Queen (Visual Novel) / int_eede3c98 | comment |
Princesses Rule: Elodie is Crown Princess until she comes of age, but in the meantime she's tasked with things like approving loans and judging criminal cases. This is a plot point in certain interactions with her father, the King Dowager, who reminds her that she's not the queen yet when she asks after her mother's Lumen crystal or protests him taking her place in the duel with Togami. | |

| Long Live the Queen (Visual Novel) / int_ef603c5 | comment |
Emperor Scientist: Depending on the choices Elodie makes, she can end up sparking a scientific revolution in Nova after her coronation. This can be accelerated if she funds the Printing Press and the Hospital, as the combination of the two allows for widespread collaboration and distribution of medical knowledge. | |

Mundane Utility | |
| Long Live the Queen (Visual Novel) / int_eff83d77 | comment |
Mundane Utility: Some of the descriptions for leveling up Elodie's Lumen powers mention this. 50 points in Resist Magic: You gain increased resistance against heat and cold, becoming comfortable in different weather and environments (and able to sip hot soup without burning your tongue!) | |

Combat by Champion: Togami offers to settle Nova's fate as an independent kingdom by a Duel to the Death with Elodie. Depending on how you've been raising her, however, she can choose to Take a Third Option instead. | |

Undying Loyalty | |
| Long Live the Queen (Visual Novel) / int_f16da697 | comment |
Undying Loyalty: Training your falconry skill to max level turns your falcon into a truely badass animal who is like this. Then participating in the falconry contest gets you some praise but not much else. The real boon here is that in case you get challenged to a duel, your falcon will proceed to hack away at the attacker and save your life. We are talking about an earl in plate armour here who is almost impossible to kill with magic. Kevan, the Earl of Io becomes desperately loyal to Elodie if she successfully romances him. It's only in the epilogue so we don't see it tested, but he's very clear on how he'd die if anything should happen to her. | |

Dumbass Has a Point | |
| Long Live the Queen (Visual Novel) / int_f360fc33 | comment |
Dumbass Has a Point: If Elodie doesn't know enough about medicine, she'll turn down the chance to fund a hospital. An educated Elodie can recognize that the benefits, which extend not just to the saving of lives but also the advancement of medicine in general, outweigh the risks, but an uneducated Elodie has a common-sense awareness of Hospital-Acquired Infections. | |

Fission Mailed | |
| Long Live the Queen (Visual Novel) / int_f3f391f6 | comment |
Fission Mailed: A small case with the "evil minion" ending a few weeks before the normal end of the game, as the screen irises out like Elodie's death scenes and then goes straight into the epilogue. Another case is escaping to Sedna, as the game treats it like a regular game over, despite Elodie living and plotting to retake Nova. Successfully triggering an earthquake also causes the screen to iris out in much the same way... only for it to pop back open and the story to continue a couple of seconds later. | |

Wake-Up Call Boss: The bandit attack that occurs on the road to the party in Sudbury is what kills most first-time players. While it can be easily skipped through a simple choice, the death checks only ratchet up from this point on. | |

Anger Born of Worry: The reaction of Joslyn and Corisande to their daughters gallivanting off into the Old Forest and nearly being eaten by tentacle monsters. Elodie acknowledges this even as she snaps back. | |

Passed-Over Inheritance | |
| Long Live the Queen (Visual Novel) / int_f54f1401 | comment |
Passed-Over Inheritance: Kevan is the oldest of Arisse's children who doesn't already have a duchy by right or marriage, but his relationship with his mother is strained and if she dies she leaves Lillah to his younger half-brother Kiran. This might also be because while Kevan is an earl, Kiran and his younger siblings are entitled to nothing else because their father was a commoner. | |

Gold Digger | |
| Long Live the Queen (Visual Novel) / int_f6b2bfb7 | comment |
Gold Digger: A variant with Lieke, the Countess of Dis, who only married the elderly Duke of Sudbury for long enough to produce a heir to the duchy; she then served as regent in the time between his death and her daughter coming of age. Judging from an argument at the latter's birthday party, she's reluctant to hand on her power. No royal likes her for this (daughter included), except for the Duke himself. With a successful Flattery check, Elodie accuses Sirin of being one. Briony's father Ignatius may be a male example — since he immediately divorces his wife if he comes into money or power of his own, it's implied that he's only staying with her because of her rank and the security it brings him. We don't know if he married her for this reason, or if they had a loving relationship at some point before Corisande started sleeping with her brother. Banion is a definite male example, said by the game to have been waiting for a powerful heiress to accept his suit for quite some time (and before Elodie, he at least tried to court Julianna). Since being king consort would be the ultimate status boost, he aggressively pursues Elodie throughout the game. Counts as a Age-Gap Romance, since he's 31, and she's only 14. If she forced his sister to marry an Ixionite lord, he will make an attempt to coerce her into marriage at the grand ball - alternatively, if she's pissed off the nobility enough, he will depose her as ruler and force her to marry him (even though she is still legally too young to wed), which nets you a game over. He's so eager for the prestige, that Elodie can always propose marriage to him at the end of the game, and he will always accept, even if he hates you so much that he previously tried to have you assassinated. If you killed his sister, he later gets his revenge by poisoning Elodie when she becomes pregnant (though very carefully, so their unborn child is left unharmed), allowing him to effectively seize power over Nova. Then he takes their daughter away from the now sickly Elodie as soon as she's born, and names her after his late sister. Talarist is also implied to be one, albeit he's more subtle in the way he goes about it. | |

You Killed My Father | |
| Long Live the Queen (Visual Novel) / int_fb6b207f | comment |
You Killed My Father: Togami murdered Queen Fidelia before the beginning of the game so that her inexperienced daughter would inherit her Lumen crystal and make it easier to take in a Wizard Duel. However, you only discover this in the ending where he taunts Elodie after killing her father as well, and in this path you're in no position to do anything about it... at least, not immediately. Kevan can duel Elodie over this if his mother Arisse was executed during the civil war, or if his niece Briony has died in any way. This can also be a subversion, however: Elodie might not have any meaningful role in Briony's death and be completely clueless that something even happened, so she won't even know what Kevan is talking about when he says his family's blood is on her hands. An inversion happens if Elodie sacrifices Charlotte to the kraken while Lucille is still alive — the very next week, she'll be killed via magic. | |

Living Emotional Crutch | |
| Long Live the Queen (Visual Novel) / int_fbd1aeb | comment |
Living Emotional Crutch: In Kevan's "good" marriage ending, he eventually confides his past to Elodie, but this doesn't entirely cure his trust issues. Instead he falls so madly in love that he swears he can't live without her. Fortunately, there's no mention of it being put to the test. Also invoked with regard to his half-brother Thaddeus, who has issues stemming from some of the same events; see below. | |

Video Game Cruelty Punishment | |
| Long Live the Queen (Visual Novel) / int_fcd993bd | comment |
Video Game Cruelty Punishment: If you are stupid enough to have Charlotte sacrificed to the kraken and you have her mother as Lumen Minister, you deserve what's coming to you. Attempting to execute Julianna if you've tossed her in the dungeons is a quick way of killing yourself. Two minor ones: murdering Lucille's entire family causes Merva to secede from Nova, but Nova and Queen Elodie can't give less of a damn. Having Charlotte sacrificed enforces anti-Lumen paranoia and damages Elodie's reputation as being a blood-sucking Lumen witch, but the ending doesn't go into much detail beyond that. If you've been a shitty ruler and/or executed a member of the nobility, you will most likely face a vote of no confidence AND a civil war, either of which might lose the game for you. Choosing to ramp up punishments, while increasing cruelty stat, will not prevent assassination attempts by Lucille in week 28 and 32 at all. | |

Ruling Family Massacre | |
| Long Live the Queen (Visual Novel) / int_fd6b88cb | comment |
Ruling Family Massacre: Two of these are possible if certain decisions are made: Togami is reponsible for Fidelia's death, and if Elodie is completely unprepared for the invasion, he'll kill Joslyn when he duels in Elodie's place, and then kill Elodie herself when she snaps and attacks him in a rage. If Elodie finds out that Lucille is plotting to kill her, she can execute the entire Mervan ducal family, young children included. Merva will rebel in response to this, resulting in either Elodie destroying most of the territory, or Merva and Nova mutually pretending the other doesn't exist. | |
