... and [[ItGotWorse watching her be assassinated]].
Try this again.
A viciously evil game about the cutthroat world of politics and intrigue, with you in charge of a woefully underprepared princess facing dangers on every side, frantically trying to train up her skills while absolutely everything is trying to kill her. '''Rule the world or die trying.'''
!!Tropes:
* AdultsAreUseless: Despite supposedly being available as an advisor, Elodie's father, the King Dowager, never provides help to his daughter with any of the problems that get dropped on her. [[spoiler: Until the end.]]
* AnnoyingArrows: 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.
* DeadlyDecadentCourt: And if you neglect Elodie's social skills, she will find herself in over her head at the next grand ball.
* GodSaveUsFromTheQueen: Depending on choices, Elodie can end up executing everyone who looks at her sideways and cackling about it. She even occasionally gets to shout "OffWithHisHead!"
* NintendoHard: Unless you're using a walkthrough, Elodie ''will'' die. Repeatedly.
* RebelliousPrincess: Depending on choices and how many points of Willfulness you accumulate.
* VirtualPaperDoll: You unlock new outfits by raising related skills. This isn't just a CosmeticAward; those outfits do give potentially-vital stat bonuses.
