 Love Esquire (Visual Novel)
comment
War is approaching, and our protagonist hopes of finding romance before dying in combat for their kingdom. This is difficult, as he is not a valiant hero; he's a mere squire to an egotistic knight named Hugh. However, by providing support in Hugh's quest, the Squire will improve as well, perhaps enough to woo the heart of a fair maiden with a troubled past...Love Esquire is a Visual Novel/RPG made by Yangyang Mobile, released on October 8th, 2019. The game has suggestive content, but is not outright explicit. The game is available for purchase through Steam.

Love Potion
 Love Esquire (Visual Novel) / int_14a8974a
comment
Love Potion: The Ocarina of Love is rumored to make those who possess it luckier in love. While the Ocarina of Love turns out to be real, this is subverted in practice, as all the ocarina does is give the squire an "affection boost" with a woman. As Hugh explains, you still have to earn the woman's love naturally, so if you mess up badly (i.e. picking a wrong dialogue choice), then "no magic in the world can help you."

The Horde: The Gegners, though it's subverted. Though they're pictured and described as a hoard of hairy savages they actually operate a very adept spy ring and the classically beautiful Serena Ives is one of their operatives. Arnold Boden, another of their operatives, notes himself that they use their reputation to their advantage.

Alternative Calendar

comment
Alternative Calendar: The game consists of four months out of the Caerulian year, divided into Month I, Month II, Month III, and Month IV. Each month consists of 30 days, and each week consists of 6 days instead of 7. There is no Sunday, and one of the "Traditions" conversations with Princess Beatrice reveals the reason for the missing day: a past king was rejected by a woman he was interested on that day, so in an event known as the "Daylight Slayings", he publicly stripped it off the calendar.

comment
Misplaced Retribution: Vel and Matilda believe that the Alkosi royal family allowed Bordemer to be destroyed on purpose, to get rid of future naval competition, and on Vel's route she ends up attacking Kamala over this. Actually, according to Kamala, it's because the Alkosi nation is so wealthy that the royal family is "sheltered", so they were unaware of how bad things were for others. So they might be negligent, but they didn't deliberately let Bordemer families die.

Chivalrous Pervert: The squire is not exactly subtle about his desire to no longer be a virgin, but he's also serious about helping people out as a squire, and as the story goes on he becomes a source of support to Hugh and to the woman he seeks a relationship with. Hugh also counts. He is close friends to Pops, the Squire's adopted father, and while he has a bad rep of being a womanizer, he is still a high ranking logistics officer and pushes the squire to take his duties seriously.

comment
Heart Is an Awesome Power: At first, the story pokes fun at the squire for just being "the support" to Hugh's heroism. But as the story goes on, it becomes clear that the squire's support actually helps Hugh a lot, and in a lot of the romance arcs, the woman goes through a really tough time, and the squire's support allows him to become a source of strength for her.

Vel Scharfe was a resident of a small village named Bordemer, and one day she helped out some shipwrecked merchants by pointing them to her village. They turned out to be pirates that then proceeded to repay her kindness by wiping out Bordemer, and Vel has blamed herself ever since, so she's working towards Matilda the spirit's desire for revenge and imitating Matilda's idea of strength as a way of coping with her guilt.

Bittersweet Ending: If the squire doesn't end up romantically involved with a lady, but still maxes out his stats, then the ending will be this trope: the squire bemoans his lack of luck in love, but he and Hugh still manage to beat the Gegners and win the war for Caerulia, so the squire still has a knightly future to look forward to.

Sweet and Sour Grapes: Vel's route ends with her putting aside her grudge against the Alkosi nation in favor of just rebuilding Bordemer instead. In return, Kamala apologizes and makes Vel the new captain of the joint Caerulian-Alkosi fleet, so Vel will be able to personally ensure the incident of Bordemer is never repeated. So Vel doesn't get revenge, but in return she gets a happy outcome.

Always Chaotic Evil: The Gegners are a horde of dangerous barbarians, they're the bad guys you're going to war with after four months, and as the squire's voice-over tells you in the opening cinematic, that's all you need to know about them. In fact, this actually kicks off the larger plot: Caerulia and Alkosi have a very troubled history, but the Gegners are so dangerous and such a massive threat to peace that the two countries are attempting to hash out an alliance just to deal with them.

Beneath the Mask: The squire really looks up to Sir Grand, a female knight who works for Princess Beatrice. Sir Grand is usually decked out in an armor and a mask, but if you play a certain route, you eventually find out who she is: She's a combination of Matilda, a spirit possessing the armor, and Vel Scharfe, one of your possible love interests, who needs to wear the armor so it can move. Amelia's mother used to insist she was fine even when she was sick, and she was always working and doing her best; her mother seemed to be invincible. Then she died one day, and ever since then, Amelia has been absolutely terrified of either losing someone to sickness, or losing the Squire to being killed in the upcoming war. Amelia has been putting on a brave face and trying to be helpful to the Squire all this time to distract herself from her fear of losing him. After Amelia and the Squire talk it out, she decides that if the Squire can participate in the war despite being afraid himself, then Amelia can face her fears of sickness and war head-on.

Beauty Contest
 Love Esquire (Visual Novel) / int_5170a333
comment
Beauty Contest: The Ladies of the Lake contest, held on Month II Day 16, is both a cultural tradition in Caerulia and a beauty contest; participants in this contest both dress up in swimsuits and show off their special talents. The winner of this contest gets to go for a swim in the otherwise difficult-to-reach Lake Caerulia, and be blessed by the Fertility God, Caerulia's patron deity. There are five judges for this contest but Marshal Flinkman bows out since he objects to Princess Kamala's participation this year, so the squire gets appointed as a last-minute replacement. He also ends up casting the "tiebreaker vote" that decides who wins the contest.

Guide Dang It!: Amelia Boden's route can be the hardest to unlock, because while her first and second arcs can be completed without difficulty, you need to do something counter-intuitive to unlock her third arc (credit to Syltphademus's comments on the Steam guides for discovering this): most of the time a girl's next mandatory/required event will be marked by a red !. But after Amelia's "finding medicine in the apron" event, the next event you need to unlock does not have a red !: you need to wait for a day when Amelia visits the Infirmary between 1:00 and 4:00, and visit and talk to Amelia then.

Bullying a Dragon: For most of the intro arc between them, the Squire constantly antagonizes Vel with challenges after one arm wrestling match forced him to drink so much milk he puked it back out. This is despite the fact that Vel is strong enough to break his spine, and at one point tried apologizing to him and he was too mad to have any of that.

Vel is... not entirely this. She tries her best to imitate Milly, but her true nature is much more sensitive and sweet. She does play it straight in her own way occasionally, especially in her ending.

The Chosen One

Also, surprisingly Giselle sometimes has a side like this; if you keep picking the "Childhood" option in conversations with her, she'll first just say she was very young with no elaboration, then she'll say she couldn't speak at age one so she was a "stupid baby", and then she'll tell you an absurd story about her mother being a dragon, her father being a warlock, and her being The Chosen One "destined to inherit the scepter of witches."

Revenge
 Love Esquire (Visual Novel) / int_92f674e5
comment
Revenge: Matilda, the spirit possessing the armor of Sir Grand, is obsessed with getting revenge for what happened to her Bordemer, her hometown. She wants revenge on the Alkosi nation, even though it was pirates who destroyed the town, because Matilda mistakenly believes the Alkosi family deliberately allowed the pirates to destroy Bordemer because it was a fishing village that might someday have been competition for Alkosi. Vel, another citizen of Bordemer, also wants revenge, but is more reluctant about it than Matilda is.

Mighty Glacier: Hugh, the knight you serve, is very strong. However, he's also slow; he always goes last in battles, after both the squire and the enemies have taken their turns. This is partially why the squire's support is so important, as without the squire, Hugh would eventually become overwhelmed by enemies.

Big Bad: Of the larger plotline, the Gegner horde is a dangerous threat, which is why Caerulia and Alkosi are attempting to work out an alliance to deal with them. Of the "Ocarina of Love" subplot, Varetear Ravenwayxxx. Of Amelia Boden's route, the Gegner "sleeper agent", who turns out to be Serena Ives. Of Beatrice Du Cae's route, Marshal Flinkman. Of Kamala Copperheart's route, Lord Draig. Of Giselle Renouve's route, none, though Varetear makes a cameo trying to kidnap Giselle at one point. Of Vel Scharfe's route, Slim, a former resident of Bordemer just like Vel.

Obfuscating Stupidity: The Gregnars are normally seen as barbaric brutes, but have a strong spy network and prefer to use assassination tactics as a form of fear mongering. Clues of their cleverness come up after obtaining 10 intelligence, where the Squire realizes that a Gregnar fairy tale had a smart hero instead of a big dumb brute.

Fiery Red Head: Vel is... not entirely this. She tries her best to imitate Milly, but her true nature is much more sensitive and sweet. She does play it straight in her own way occasionally, especially in her ending. A straighter example is Princess Kamala, surprisingly. Most of the time she's innocent and friendly, but if you play her route, it's revealed that she actually has a hidden temper, and a lot of Kamala's route is her learning to get a handle on her anger.

comment
Talent Show: The Ladies of the Lake contest, held on Month II Day 16, is both a beauty contest and a talent show combined into a single Caerulian tradition. Each contestant shows off a special talent, as follows: Amelia Boden sings, which the squire isn't looking forward to as she sings like a banshee but thanks to off-screen coaching by Serena, Amelia actually sings very well for this contest. Giselle Renouve performs a magic trick by turning a rabbit into crows, though Giselle says it's real magic. Princess Beatrice du Cae shows off her skill at archery by shooting an apple off the squire's head. Princess Kamala Copperheart performs a dance using curved swords. Vel Scharfe lifts an entire barrel of ale with one hand and drinks out of it.

God in Human Form: In the harem ending it is revealed that squire was actually THE Fertility God all along. He was "tired of divine paperwork", and decided to live as a human for a while, removing his memories, and powers. Once Bessy(Who was actually his angel servant taking form of a cow all along.) restores his godhood, and memories in that ending, he also decides to ask all 5 love interests to ascend to godhood, and be together with him.

Princess Kamala Copperheart grew up in a family with sexist views that expects little of women. Her younger brother is a Spoiled Brat but will still inherit the throne since he's male, and her father thinks her plans for diplomacy are foolish. This has caused Kamala to develop a hidden temper that isn't displayed if you're not playing her route.

Forgotten Childhood Friend: Or in this case, "forgotten person from the same village". If you play a certain route, you find out at the very end of the route that the reason both the squire and Giselle have similar "village was attacked by bandits" backstories is because they were both from the same village! Specifically, they were both from Waldorf before bandits raided it.

Fission Mailed: In the first battle, you always get knocked out by a Masterinq that isn't supposed to be in the area. However, this will not cause a Game Over, and you'll still obtain 30 gold for "winning" the battle. Near the end of some romance arcs, the squire and love interest have a very minor argument and you lose 200 affection with her. Not to worry, this is supposed to happen, and you can still make up the lost affection points through gifts and conversation.

Hard-Drinking Party Girl: Vel Scharfe, one of your possible love interests, likes to hang out in the tavern, drink ale, and pick fights. Then this is subverted when it turns out Vel secretly has a sensitive personality and actually hates drinking; she only acts like this trope because she thinks it will make her more like Matilda, the spirit who trained Vel in combat.

Dark and Troubled Past
 Love Esquire (Visual Novel) / int_fed93e1b
comment
Dark and Troubled Past: The squire himself wasn't able to do anything when bandits raided his village and killed his biological parents, which is how he got adopted by Amelia and her father. Part of why he wants to become a knight someday is so he'll never be that helpless again, and he can protect people in the future. Amelie Boden is normally a bright and cheery girl, but in part she's putting on a brave face and smiling all the time since she thinks it'll make her more like her deceased mother, who died of an illness. Then to make matters even worse, if you play Amelia's route, Kamala eventually reveals that the "medicine" Amelia's mother thought she was taking was actually poison, so her mother didn't actually die of an illness after all; she was murdered. Princess Kamala Copperheart grew up in a family with sexist views that expects little of women. Her younger brother is a Spoiled Brat but will still inherit the throne since he's male, and her father thinks her plans for diplomacy are foolish. This has caused Kamala to develop a hidden temper that isn't displayed if you're not playing her route. Vel Scharfe was a resident of a small village named Bordemer, and one day she helped out some shipwrecked merchants by pointing them to her village. They turned out to be pirates that then proceeded to repay her kindness by wiping out Bordemer, and Vel has blamed herself ever since, so she's working towards Matilda the spirit's desire for revenge and imitating Matilda's idea of strength as a way of coping with her guilt. Giselle Renouve was captured by bandits as a child along with the former Knight Surgeon Donis. The bandits tortured Donis into creating the Drowser drug and then made him teach Giselle how to make the drug as well, torturing her into going along with it, so in the present day, the reason Giselle is on a quest to create a cure for the drug is out of guilt at having made the drug in the first place.
