comment |
The Confines of the Crown, formerly titled The Royal Trap: The Confines of the Crown, is a Ren'Py-based English Visual Novel / Otome Game developed by Hanako Games. It features an unusually active heroine, and a twist on traditional gender roles. In this world, men rule, but women inherit. Property is passed to daughters, and from them to the control of their husbands. This means that the next king will be whoever the princess chooses as her husband... so any man with an eye for power has to catch the interest of the lady who controls it.Which is where Madeleine comes in. Her job is to coach her employer, Prince Oscar, on how to be the sort of man that a princess would marry, while generally keeping him out of trouble.Unfortunately, the princess he's supposed to be wooing disappears, and Oscar is labeled as the prime suspect. |

Blind Without 'Em: Prince Nazagi has terrible vision without his glasses but refuses to wear them because he thinks no princess would find him attractive in spectacles. |

The Mistress |
| | The Confines of the Crown (Visual Novel) / int_15395adc |
comment |
The Mistress: Madeleine becomes Nazagi's after he marries Cassidy and becomes king. This arrangement is essential as Cassidy, being transgender, cannot produce children, so the duty falls to Madeleine. All parties consent to this arrangement, and Madeleine is given the highest position of power possible in the Royal Court, and is treated as an equal to the Royal Family behind closed doors. Also, since this is his best end, it is heavily implied that, in time, Madeleine and Nazagi will fall in love, while both Nazagi and Madeleine will either become Platonic Life-Partners with Cassidy or end up in a threesome with her. |

comment |
Mandatory Motherhood: In order to ensure succession, it is vital that the Wisdom produces a female heir. However, Princess Cassidy is completely unable to bear children, due to possessing male genitalia. This becomes a vital plot point on Nazagi's route; his solution is to have Madeleine bear his children instead. In the other routes, it's only briefly addressed. |

Incorruptible Pure Pureness: Princess Cassidy is so pure, sheltered, and unsullied that she has no clue about the biological differences between men and women. This was intentionally done, since if she knew, she'd have some serious questions to ask about her original sex. |

Gender Bender |
| | The Confines of the Crown (Visual Novel) / int_2d88e42c |
comment |
Gender Bender: 'Princess' Cassidy was originally Prince Caspian, the youngest son of the Gwellinor royal family. However, the Wisdom could bear no more children after Caspian, which was a problem as the family had no daughters to ensure the succession would not fall into the hands of the Wisdom's scheming sister and her offspring. When their youngest son showed signs of a feminine personality, it was decided that a princess would be made instead. Caspian was separated from his siblings, under the guise of him dying from illness, and was given potions in order to give him some of the physical features of a woman. And thus, Princess Cassidy was born. |

comment |
Omniscient Morality License: Once all of the misunderstandings are cleared up, Callum and Cassidy's parents are presented as pretty good people who did what they had to do out of love for the realm and their children. This despite pulling a Gender Bender gambit on Caspian/Cassidy (a very young child who wasn't in any position to consent), and using Dolores in said gambit before abandoning her at an orphanage. Their mother offers the justification that Caspian was already showing signs of considering himself a girl, but this is a flimsy justification at best, as there are many children who show signs of gender variance but don't turn out to be transgender, and Cassidy herself isn't able to verify whether this is true or not. That said, they do express regret about their actions, and seem to have genuinely acted out of love for Cassidy. |

comment |
I Want My Beloved to Be Happy: In Oscar's route, even though she's steadily falling in love with him, Madeleine insists on pairing him up with Cassidy, as that will guarantee him a good future. His best ending is when she realizes that he'll be the happiest with her, and proposes to him. As long as you were not a jerk to Oscar during Callum's route, in Callum's good ending Callum and Madeleine get married. Oscar is clearly heartbroken about having lost the woman he loves to another man, but gives their marriage his blessing anyway, wanting Madeleine to be happy, and Oscar will remain her best friend. Averted if Madeleine snaps at him for saying she was his, and doesn't let him down gently; instead Oscar will hate her and never want to see or hear from her again. |

Unable to Support a Wife: Though in Madeleine's case, it's more like unable to support a husband. It's a recurring theme of the game that Madeleine will bring up in every route regardless of who she goes after. This is the main reason why she's so against marrying Oscar at the start, since they'll both enter the marriage without anything to their name (Oscar due to the fact that inheritance is passed through the female line, and Madeleine because she's the second daughter of a minor noble house), and, since neither is trained in a profession, they'll likely suffer from extreme poverty. Even if she is aiming for Nazagi or Callum, she still needs an estate or position to be considered for noble marriage. She can play it completely straight with a wife in Gaston's route, worrying about whether she can support herself, and not be a burden on Colette. The problem is only avoided on Dolores route, where Madeleine decides to just steal the money they need to start their own farm, and Dolores teaches her agriculture and how to live off the land. |

comment |
Like Brother and Sister: Madeleine can let Oscar down gently by telling him she sees him as a brother. Since this scene is skipped in Callum's route, she is forced to let him down later. If she doesn't use this trope to do so, the happy ending is altered to show that their relationship was basically destroyed to the point where Oscar outright hates her. |

Changeling Fantasy: In Nazagi's route, it's theorized that Dolores is the true Princess Cassidy, though nothing is ever confirmed. In Callum's route, that theory is cleared up, but the truth zigzags this trope to high heaven. Dolores was raised by the Wisdom, and went under the name of Princess Cassidy...as part of a plan to convince the public that the Wisdom had given birth to another child after Prince Caspian. In reality, she's the daughter of one of the Wisdom's ladies in waiting. |

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: In Oscar's route, his and Cassidy's decision to publicly reveal that she was targeted by an assassin is very definitely this. While it does help to free Madeleine, it also sparks widespread panic among the castle residents, causes the guards to go on a witch hunt to find any more conspirators (which leads to the death of an innocent maid), and eventually leads to the castle being stormed by peasants. |

comment |
Upper-Class Twit: Prince Gaston shows almost no indications of intelligence throughout the story, and is dependent on Colette (and possibly Madeleine) to keep him from falling on his face. Oscar is much less capable than Madeleine would like him to be, especially outside of his own route. His route gives him more character development, where he becomes more independent, and shows Madeleine a more sympathetic view of him, but even then he can prove fairly ineffective. In all other routes, he can come off as innocently rash at best, or a whiny pain in the ass at worst. Justified because Madeleine has been taking care of him for all of his life, and her over-protectiveness ended up hurting his abilities in the long run. |

Foreshadowing: All over the place. When Cassidy is first introduced, Madeleine mentions that it is rather hard to tell a noblewoman's exact age. This is a rather good thing for Cassidy, as no one will notice that she's a few years older than she's supposed to be. Gaston gets very upset when Madeleine brings up the topic of wigs with him. While at first this may seem like he's panicking about being found with a Cassidy wig, later on in his route it's revealed that that wonderful head of hair of his is fake; he is completely bald. When she's disguised as Cassidy, Madeleine notices that Nazagi takes an awfully long time to kiss her hand. After you play his route, you realize that this alludes to his rather bad eyesight. |

For The Money: This is Dolores's ambition for most of the game, mainly because her lifetime goal is to be self sufficient on her own lands. Her first attempt to earn coin is ransoming Cassidy off to Callum, and then when that fails and she learns of the royal family's debt of honor to her, she sticks around hoping they'll give her some sort of reward due to that. |

Princess Classic |

comment |
Princess Classic: Princess Cassidy is kind, forgiving, and rather too innocent. She wears a pretty pink dress, loves flowers and poetry, and is completely non-violent. It's still a subversion. |

comment |
The Matchmaker: It's Madeleine's job to be this for Oscar, though she only succeeds in pairing him with Cassidy during the epilogue of Callum's good end and some of Oscar's not so good endings. In Gaston's route, she becomes this for Cassidy and Gaston instead. In Nagazi's route, after he theorizes that Dolores is the real Princess Cassidy, Madeleine can take some actions to try to make her sweet on him. |

comment |
Silk Hiding Steel: A noble woman is expected to act this way as her husband's Wisdom. Princess Cassidy is the best example; beneath her tender exterior is a strong young woman, who, depending on the route, might give herself up to a mob to protect her companions or abdicate the throne because she thinks it's right for her country. Madeleine even describes her in these terms. |

Fairytale Wedding Dress |
| | The Confines of the Crown (Visual Novel) / int_f27ed419 |
comment |
Fairytale Wedding Dress: Cassidy wears one when she gets married to Gaston, while Madeleine wears one when she weds Callum. In both cases it's justified, since they're royal weddings. Madeleine's dress when she marries Oscar is a more toned down, Simple, yet Opulent affair. |

Lower-Class Lout: Dolores is a servant, but she grew up in an orphanage, and has the delightfully common touch of her upbringing to show for it. She's much smarter than the stereotype would indicate, though. |

Would Hit a Girl |
| | The Confines of the Crown (Visual Novel) / int_f42f96fa |
comment |
Would Hit a Girl: Madeleine and Nazagi play on this in order to let Nazagi slip out of his room without an escort; Madeleine pretends Nazagi got angry enough to strike her, and then he gets the obviously concerned guard to stay with her instead while he (apparently) stalks off in a huff. Callum has no problem using violence against women if the situation calls for it, including 'sparring' with Madeleine, and nearly strangling Dolores. Oscar tries, but is a little more reluctant to grapple with her effectively. |

Video Game Cruelty Potential: You can read Oscar's love confession to you, and then proceed to treat him like absolute crap. If you don't line up another alliance, though, you'll be in trouble. |

Gadgeteer Genius: Prince Callum is one, though at the time when the game takes place he mainly builds things as a hobby. His epilogue implies that he's moved onto making it a part time profession. |

Brick Joke: Early on in Nazagi's route, Madeleine jokingly mentions to him that the servants think he's a vampire. Later on, she finds out that some of the staff wholeheartedly believe this, to the point of carrying garlic on hand to 'ward' him away (they offer her some, too). |

Scar Survey: Nazagi has numerous scars on his body, which are the the results of failed attempts to improve his sight. Madeleine can find this out in his route after he (apparently) absentmindedly walks into her room and starts stripping. |
