The Apple Princess

A dating sim Idea that was actually started by @wanou-dorm mentioning how Nextunia might make a Dating sim based on Carols crushes...

And I made a reality out of it... kinda...

I feel if she noticed this she asked the dorm to censor the game so people don’t know its about her... but she would play it.

I took a lot of time and work on this so I would appreciate anyone sharing it.

Under the cut is the whole prologue, routes and endings:

Once upon a time there was a Kingdom known for its many apple trees, knowledge seeking scholars and Nature filled gardens… among this Kingdom ruled a King and a Queen… and they were busy in the preparations for the Future. 11 Suitors, noble, lord and prince alike to meet the young princess of the Kingdom, often known as Apple princess by the name of Carol… the fair maiden should choose her Candidate to rule the kingdom with her in this very month…

Hesitant, the young princess looked in the mirror at her dress… Nervous about what Gentleman might await her… why couldn’t it be like the same stories she read about in this book of hers… that she may find true love without being forced in this situation. Alas she couldn’t refuse her parents call… where else would she go if she did. She stepped out of her Chambers… and greeted the same Knight that protected her for a while.

James: Knight in Charge of protecting her… he leads her to the chambers where the suitors arrive… giving her words of encouragement and that he be there for her if someone might cause trouble. They talk about old times a little so she will be less nervous.

Stepping into the Chambers She already finds some commotion going on in the middle.

Looking at her Suitors she was a bit overwhelmed by the presence…Two very tall men were arguing in the middle while a smaller blond man was trying to get their presence to the princess entering the room… Alas all of them went to the side to not only greet the princess but also the King and Queen who followed right behind her… and so they asked Carol to sit down on the throne in the middle of the room so each suitor could introduce himself to her.

Parker: The first to introduce himself was a young blond man…seemingly serious but when looking at her calmly stating his name and his house… however he didn’t want to share that much about his origins. She was glad he was just polite and her being tense slowly calmed down although she felt somewhat worried given he didn’t share much more and just went to his place in the room. Carol looked shortly over to James a bit nervous about all this but he nodded as if to say it's fine.

Daido: The next to introduce himself.. she heard about him from the previous maids chatting about some of the suitors… the lord of a ruthless Kingdom… At least so they say, his attitude towards the other tall male in the room was aggressive as she had seen before so she was a little intimidated but something about this smirk at her made her shiver… Until he took her hand and said he would keep her safe and with a blush she said she looked forward to getting to know him more. A lie to hide a little bit of her reservation about him.

Jesh: After him the one who previously picked a fight with the Lord from before spoke up, his attitude flirty, his eyes like she is his prey and something about him in general seems off… Her parents told her that he is a Noble from a house that has many businesses with other kingdoms and that he would be beneficial but something about him made her think he is not here for her, but her status. Still he shamelessly kissed her hand and said he could keep her engaged… And then he went back to two other servants of his, also pink haired, that accompanied him.

Des: Next was Prince Des who seemed compared to the previous Suitors a bit more refreshing… He immediately shared a little about him and his kingdom as well that he was also curious if her kingdom also was versed with Art given they had so many scholars. He said he would be interested to get to know what she is interested in, which gave her a good impression as he bowed and went back to his place.

Dos: Prince Dos approached her with a smile, telling a little about his Kingdom. He made a polite yet excited impression… he started a far more casual chat than an actual attempt at introducing himself, something that overwhelmed her… so the Queen and King said he might have time to chat more with her later. And with a nod he went back to his place.

Damien: The Noble Damien had somewhat of an odd aura. Charming yet she noticed him moving his mouth oddly, as if he tried to hide his teeth… in general he was a charmer, also taking her hand and complimenting her beauty… and how he would love for her to be his… many glares followed him as he let out one smirk and said he will try his all to win her heart… a bold claim yet it was interesting to her.

Cho-hee: Reserved about introducing himself, Cho-hee stepped up stating his name and his kingdom, as he made a comment about the sea surrounding it Carol got interested because of a book she read. Although her mother noticed her to tone it down Cho-hee got interested. He wasn’t confident in promising her something given he was forced to join as a suitor. But he said that during his stay he will show interest in getting to know her.

Azure:The Young noble stepped up but instead of introducing himself, he quickly shot to ask the princess what her favorite Book is. As she answered truthfully he had a small smile on his face as if approving. He stated his name and his kingdom, then looked at her saying he would be in general interested in this kingdom and its people, and he would love it if she could tell him a little more…

Kalida: she was surprised as this noble was hiding most of his body in his clothes, as she asked him if she could see his face without the mask he refused, He told the princess to not worry, in due time he would show his face fully if she took interest in him but for now he feels more comfortable like this. She nods that she understands and as he bows to leave to his seat she still looks after him.

Watson: The Noble already pulled out a rose from his pocket and gave it to her… making compliments about how beautiful she is, more beautiful than this very rose he holds. She grew bright red… Before some of the others told him to tone it down he cleared his throat and said he will do his best to impress as much as he can. Before leaving for his seat.

After they introduced themselves the king spoke up, but Carol interrupted him asking that there were 12 suitors, not 11. The King smiled at his daughter and said the 12th she will meet in due time… in confusion they started the banquet… but before Carol sat down with the other suitors, James noticed how uneasy she was and used the usual tactic… taking her out of the room to the kitchen so she can clear her head…

In the kitchen she encountered two men preparing the dinner.

Ronald: Ronald worked in the castle for a while as the one in charge of desserts, she knows him well and often has some nice chats with him, so she greeted him with a smile and asked what he was making this time… They had a comfortable chat about the dinner until someone else came back in.

Trey: He just recently joined the kitchen given his talents and already took over being in charge although Ronald has been here for longer… Trey is a master cake maker and has a bakery of his parents in the city so he tries to get inspired in the royal kitchen and greets the Princess gentlemanly…

Although she wanted to talk with them more James asked if she calmed down and she nodded back going to the dinner table.

She sat on the table with all of her suitors and chats began as they waited for the food… she gets asked some questions and these choices determine in some cases how much affection she shows some suitors and which route you might end up on… She felt slowly more at ease getting to know some of these gentlemen and spoke up more, sharing a little about herself. Although some of those flirts thrown at her definitely got her flustered and a little off. As soon as the party was done her parents asked her to attend her Piano lessons and then soon she could rest…

And so she went to the music chamber to meet Jonas.

Jonas: Is for a while her Music tutor… She learned from him to play Piano and admires him a lot. Although he is odd and often a little awkward she finds that pretty charming and so gained a feeling of fondness for him…

She chatted with him about the day while he showed her which keys to press… the situation made her mind be occupied with a lot of thoughts and although she did her best, Jonas noticed it and asked her if they would keep the lesson short so she can rest.

Exciting the room she ran into the two servants she saw with Jesh before who smiled excitedly with her.

Lustre: He already held her hand gently and inspected the dress she wore… he introduced himself as a local tailor for the noble and so he is inspired by seeing all the new kinds of dresses in this kingdom, given he rarely goes out of the noble house usually. She did ask how he feels about the Noble and Lustre answered although he can be a mess, he does treat them well…

Maya: Next to him was a servant in a maid dress… having a sweet cute smile at her… admiring her as well… she asked him too about the Noble and he showed some praise that he treats them with care… trying to make him seem in a better light… before he actually notices her being nervous in general and says, it will be fine.

The both Servants were interrupted by Jesh coming back and asking where they wandered off to as he saw the princess talk to them and had his smirk again beamed at her.

Making a joke about if she wanted to stay at his chambers so they can talk a bit more privately but she refused politely, bowed and said her goodbyes to the group…

At night she tried to take in the whole situation… and sighed at how many thoughts plagued her. She noticed her bracelet had some small damage on it from the last time she went out to go through the gardens, so she might visit the town's blacksmith.

___________________________________________________

Day 2

At breakfast she sat down with the suitors and they were disagreeing on who gets to spend time with her first… some even started passive aggressively fighting… so much so that she got frustrated and stood up from the table…

It depends on your dialogue options… either you can stay and speak up that she will make a game on who will get to spend time with her first, making a plan… or you can go outside.

Walking outside will enable a secret path… her parents wanted to stop her but she said she will be back once her head is cleared…. she walked into the woods to take a breather… sitting down on a stone… and lightly screaming in frustration… as she heard some of the leaves ruffle in the bush nearby. She stood up and tried to see what it was and as she spied some antlers at first she figured it would be a deer but instead a tall man stood up and looked down at her.

Esca: He put his hand behind his head smiling at the princess and apologizing if he scared her… he has been living in the woods for a while and usually he doesn’t expect others to pass by. She smiled at him and said she wasn’t scared but surprised which caught him off guard… He asked her why she feels sad and basically she just tells him about how she wished her life was more like a fairy tale… that someone would be the true love that rescues her. He put a hand on her head affirming her that things are not that easy but… maybe she will encounter someone if she wanted to. However his words showed a bit of Sorrow, as he was thinking about something.

Another choice pops up… one to promise to visit him again, the other to thank him… if you thank him the path is avoided and you go for the other suitors, if you promise to see him again his route starts.

Staying will make a draw a stick game pass and you can decide who wins. The Esca path sadly won’t be accessible then. She will get to know each of the main 10 suitors more… but she noticed something odd… Dos wasn't there today… but instead it was another pink haired man who looked more grumpy… her parents introduced him as Lord Lio and he is from the same kingdom as Dos. He seemed a little more harder to approach and also his glare frightened her yet she took a deep breath and greeted him.

Here is the events you will go through with each suitor (how well you answer the more likely you will get that route)

-Parker: takes her to practicing Archery together, claiming it's a hobby of his however he still seemed to avoid a lot of questions she has. Eventually this closeness and some of his words however got her red and she could have a closer look at how pretty he is.

-Daido: The Lord carried her off himself to a certain tower in the castle.. it was for her a shock to suddenly be carried like this but the view over the kingdom and getting to know a bit more about him made up for it. He mentioned another noble he was in a territory fight with and who wanted to take all he cares about… so he wanted to find someone to be with to support him… She could somehow understand it.

-Jesh, Lustre, Maya: The Noble and his servants pulled her into a more unknown part of the city she ruled over for a while. Lustre before this offered her a dress that showed a little bit more skin which she did agree one cause she liked the design… they looked at some singers doing small shows in taverns as Jesh let his flirts play a little and although the princess was stubborn… some of them hit. Maya and Lustre also chatted with her throughout this.

-Des: With him she explores one of the local portraits in the castle taking a small walk… they chat about some things and how she is terrible at painting and making pots so he offered to show her how to make some, they did pottery together

-Lio: Given she didn't know him yet she tried to strike up a conversation but he was secretive about some things… They just ate some dinner together and she tried to get to know at least a bit of it.

-Damien: He took her to dance with him in one of the halls of the castle… what she noticed now that she was closer was his very sharp teeth… however he overplayed her gazes with some compliments, hints however showed that he was a little too obsessed with her, still the dance was pleasant

-Cho-Hee: They both took a stroll around the back of the castle near the sea… He was actually honest about him being forced to participate but she said they are alike then… she is also hesitant about the whole suitor search so she relates but she still wants to get to know everyone including him, maybe she does eventually fall for someone she says… and if not she can still run away…. He was surprised by her view and they continued to chat.

-Azure: with him she has a date in the Library as they both discuss their favorite books and literature… Although he didn't talk as much it was very comforting to her and she was happy to have someone to chat about books with. She got curious about what he was writing but he was still hesitant to share it.

-Kalida: He took her around the outer walls of the Kingdom to not be seen by many, she thought he comes off as distant to people in general but getting to actually Talk to him she notices he means no harm… at least not verbally. She also understood not to speak up about why he hid part of his body with accessories…

-Watson: with Watson she walked through the rose garden, he was a gentleman in general, treating her like a true romantic however as she brought up the topic of his family he froze up and tried to avoid the topic, despite that they could share flower thoughts and ideas

After the suitors all had a date she sits in a room with James who asked how she was doing currently, as she flopped exhausted on the bed… it was so many people to meet at once… he could cheer up with a story of that one time she wanted an adventure and they both encountered some dangerous people Where he protected her from getting Kidnapped… her parents scolded her for suddenly leaving the castle and wanted to take James from his duty but Carol defended him and he was grateful he still got to serve her… they had a moment of silence looking at each other until her parents called her again. With a blush of awkwardness they both again went separate ways.

Her parents talked to her Piano instructor Jonas, who wanted to help her perform a song quickly for tonight's joint dinner again.

And so she and Jonas have a long casual chat about the past as well, how he often helped her express her words better to her parents cause the music in her head calmed her and so on.

She used the leftover free time to go to town and fix her bracelet at the black smiths… however the blacksmith wasn’t present, instead it was one of the people learning under him, Punch who looked at the princess with a blush.

Punch: He actually has been hearing a lot of stories about the princess but meeting her in person was quite the shock. As she handed him the bracelet he did his all to fix up the scratches and damage of it. She bowed to him with a smile but also was fascinated by all the little inventions he had on his shelf… so she asked a little about them… after a casual chat she left him some extra coins and thanked him for the hard work… and made her way back to the castle

Her parents thanked her daughter for being so patient and so far not causing trouble with the other suitors and although she still felt hesitant and worried in her heart… she nodded and asked if to calm her nerves she could get her favorite dish served tonight. They agreed and asked her to tell the kitchen herself… This leads to meeting Trey and Ronald again but talking to them separately. She meets Ronald first in the kitchen and they chat about the old times when he started in the kitchen and had to deal with her pickiness. After a while Trey came in and asked Ronald to serve some of the finished dishes. Carol asked him if he was able to make her favorite dish for her and he meant it would be an honor, he has admired the princess for a while and it is to him something great he can finally serve his dishes to her. After chatting about his bakery you once again get to have dinner with all the suitors… suddenly Dos being part of the group again and Lio being gone. She answered some more questions of the other suitors and finished her food.

After dinner she wanted to walk up to her room but followed a certain noise that made her uneasy… on the balcony she saw a stranger… saying he has been watching her for a while… and he came to ask her some things… if you answer his questions a certain way… you activate the Yasuno route, which is another secret route. After the talk with the stranger she still leaves to her room… trying to think about everything.

Carol looked up at the stars… consulting them about what happened…. And as if in a fairytale…. A little pink haired fairy descended trying to help her with her choice… answering the fairy some questions… the Route will finally lock in and you will be set to follow one of the following routes.

Trigger warnings: Suggestive, Death (Including families), Kidnapping, Yandere, BUT ONLY FOR SOME BAD ENDINGS

Please only read good endings when you want fluff instead.

_______________________________________________________

The Barry Route

If you either managed to piss everyone off or spread affection points even to every suitor…. Carol will be indecisive and ask her parents for more days to decide. Fed up with this seeming like an excuse they sighed and said if she wants to be like this it's best they shouldn't have given her the choice in the first place… and that night they also got and offer from another Noble that was willing to make their Kingdom even richer than those other nobles, princes and Lord.

And so… they married her off to said Noble… Mr. Parton…. A self fixated arrogant blonde who only cared about her status and looks, as well as that she obeyed his command.

The other suitors left in disappointment, the workers who cared about her seemed saddened about her leaving, James looked at her with pity and worry as she weakly waved at him… and so she became a Trophy wife… the feeling of love never to be obtained… but at least her parents benefited from this.

_________________________________________________________

The Parker Route @rookvonhunt

On Parker's path you mainly slowly find out why he has been hiding so much… most of the time he teaches you some combat and archery, tells you about the Brigade but in a way that you don’t know about his true identity as well as slowly notice his prowess with weapons and all… the bad ending would happen early if he doesn’t get attached to her but if you spend more time with him, you find him one night holding a knife in his hand and thanks to you words manage to stop him from killing… and talk about why he was ordered to do it. He is confused on why should hear out a person who just tried to kill someone dear to her but she would answer with: Everyone has a reason and she wants to know if she can forgive him somehow or just report him to the guards… this gesture would draw them closer… as he wants to know more about why her way of thinking is just so uncorrupted yet. Over time he slowly grows some feelings and attachment so much that one attack on the castle he protects her and gets injured…

True Ending: On the last day on the ball, Carol proposes to Parker that she would want him to be the one to rule the kingdom with her… he doesn’t like the thought fully… so she suggested that they just get married and run away instead… her parents could still ask her sister… she just wants to be with him no matter what. He was surprised she was willing to give up so much but agreed to her proposal… a wedding is seen with the brigade present whereas at the ceremony she shoots an arrow right into a fire ring… and they share a kiss sealing the contract.

Good Ending: She tells her parents she wants to be with Parker but for now she doesn’t want to rush it with a marriage… he takes her to meet the brigade and they make a deal with Satin about how they can search for more comfortable work…. and although she might not be able to stop them from crimes completely it's a deal she is willing to take, if it means Parker doesn’t have to kill anymore. The last scene shows them holding hands looking over the balcony as he asks her if they wanna go on a journey together and then return to the kingdom.

Bad Ending: Not being able to win over his heart… she one night wanted to talk to her parents about how to approach the situation and found… him and the brigade he was with… having slain her parents who laid dead on the floor, with one swift move… he also pushed a dagger into her stomach… avoiding his eyes from her… and so the kingdom had no King, queen or princess anymore.

Alt Ending: One night as she slept in her room she opened her eyes to see parker stand at her bed… as she asked him why he was there he only said she should forget everything about him and makes her drink a potion… it's like the dating sim begins anew… only this time… only that she lost all memories about him… and starts her search for love anew.

____________________________________________________________

The Daido Route @forestwispocs

With Daido you slowly unweave what is behind all those rumors… and what is true or not… you encounter some of his underlings, among them Ebi who talks bad about him, his brother Shima who praises him, Tallie who is a maid that often tells he can be aggressive at times but he treats the people under him well and it's hard to believe what is actually the truth… Then on the second day of his Route you encounter Maju who boasts about how he wants to make part of his land his… and stops by this Castle to see if Daido is plotting a strike against him… As he tries to flirt with the Princess Daido gets very aggressive and protective of her… the bad ending would start if Carol makes him believe this anger is right and to get what he wants he needs to show this mercilessness to his enemies… the Alt ending will be encountered if the next times each time you talk to Maju she will actually be more nice and casual about it rather than refuse him… after the outlash Daido explains a little about his kingdom and the role his father left him behind with and him just trying to fit in as a ruler. He does mention his kid too and opens up as she shows affection and understanding towards him. Showing him there is more than just listening to rumors and being what others want you to be.

True Ending: Getting so close with one another on that last day he took her to the gardens and asked her to sit down on his lap… he offered her a small box with a ring in it… and once again thanked her for making him realize many things about himself. Overcome by happiness she held him close… and agreed to the proposal but telling him she wants to rule his land with him… not her kingdom… you hear many citizens talking about new rumors circulating… about the woman who brought peace to their so-called ruthless ruler… on the wedding Shima carried Kimi bringing the rings into the altar as she looked up at Daido with loving eyes and kissed him. A symbol of a more peaceful era for this kingdom.

Good Ending: On the last day she tells him that she is in love with him but wants to help him first resolving the conflict with Maju… and so she asked her parents out on what they could do. In general this good ending just involves them getting back on making peace between them and her meeting Kimi for the first time… She visits his Land with him and they both look over it… she hugs his arm and promises that she will be there for him from now on.

Bad Ending: Instead of showing Daido that he is more than those rumors, she manipulates him to believe in them… and become the ruthless ruler people made him out to be. In the end you see her sitting with him on a throne, whispering some words in his ears… which made the person being judged before them be taken care of and executed… She placed a kiss on Daido and giggled in satisfaction… they made a kingdom together, letting her sit on a throne of lies… Is this really love? It doesn’t seem like it at all.

Alt Ending: Maju was the one mentioned throughout the route to want to take everything that is dear to Daido… and in this route he is successful in kidnapping the princess. Daido tries to stop him but in the end Maju takes her off in a carriage and flees… Back in his noble house you can see a picture of her in a green wedding gown… sitting at a chair looking out the window… waiting for anyone to come and save her…

__________________________________________________________

The Pink Trio Route @silent-dragon

At first thinking you will only get to date Jesh, Carol was hesitant about this choice… especially after on the first day hearing some rumors that he might only be interested in money but… something about him intrigued her and so she risked the choice. However, as she wanted to talk to Jesh, she found Lustre in his room instead and asked her to model for some of his dresses… she was a little overwhelmed yet agreed because she was curious… Maya helped them as well, stopping the cleaning of the room and choosing some accessories to fit her and as Jesh came back into the room he was amused and somewhat flirting with her on how good she looked.Giving into most flirts he does this path right away leans to the Alt ending… while the bad ending is refusing all of them fully and not taking interest in him… the best way to do this route is to react polite yet a bit keeping him on a short leash yet be curious with choices… the route evolves in him slowly growing attached to her… Lustre often encourages her and also gives her some flirts, while Maya shows some affections towards her as well… she will in the path be conflicted because she has grown to like all three… but if she told her parents that, they would look at her in disdain, given she was supposed to only choose one suitor and not cause a scandal. Deep into the route Jesh will also tell a bit about his greed but that he grew to be genuinely interested in her.

True Ending: The same conversation as the good ending starts, but after they had an agreement Jesh pulled her to the side to be alone with her… jokingly saying he hates to spend money but he had to get her this and hands out a ring to her… she quickly becomes bright red and gets picked up by him for a kiss to say yes. After telling her parents the news you can see a wedding that in all seems pretty fancy, and although Jesh and Carol marrying in the forefront another scene plays later where Maya and Lustre also wear dresses and Carol smiles brightly. Mainly because they were alone and her parents were gone at that time back to their kingdom… signaling a more hopeful end.

Good Ending: Given she is conflicted because she likes all three, she takes one time to meet Jesh and his servants in a private chamber to talk it out… All three looked each other with a smile saying there is no problem given the 4 of them could just be together but Carol stated the problem of her parents not approving of this… and so the plan is simple… she will announce that she chose Jesh as her suitor and keep the relationship with the other two a secret… and so she goes with them to his Noble house and a scene is played where Lustre is once again picking outfits for them both to wear for a fancy party and all three start to hug her and knock her over.

Bad Ending: One night she followed a howling outside of the castle… and that was when she encountered Jesh in his wereform… and how he injured two servants of the castle… in fear she ran inside and hid away… at first she didn’t know it was him but as she looked outside again, she saw him trying to calm himself and transform back… after this incident she just felt unnerving that he didn’t tell her that… as well as slightly feared the eyes he had in that form. This fear overtook her and she told the king and queen that she asked the three to leave the kingdom… of course they are confused cause this is a sudden decision but… Her eyes and how they looked like a cornered animal made Jesh assume why and he left with his head down… while Lustre and Maya ask him what is going on… Carol still felt saddened about this for a while.

Alt Ending: Following some Flirty advances of Jesh… Carol ended up in a room as the three lay in bed with her… One heated kiss with Jesh and some touches from the other two cut the screen to black… the next day her parents found her with the three in bed together… and were shocked that their daughter would do such things behind their back… she was supposed to keep up appearances… As Carol felt cornered by the accusations of her parents, Jesh stepped up to say if she isn’t home here, he will take her with him to his noble house… and she will have a new home. And although in this ending she also ends up with the three… the relationship leans more on desire than actual love… as shown by her wearing much more alluring clothes and seeming only there to please. After all, she didn’t get to know them much in this ending.

__________________________________________________________

The Des route @thetwstwildcard

Mainly she finds him back at the art gallery of her house and asks him to help her overcome her weakness of being terrible at crafts… tension is built up of touching hands and being close but also her getting less nervous about the situation she is in… She would often however notice him speak to himself which she is confused about…

Often she would tell him about stories she would read and he would sketch some things to it… until slowly feelings blossom and he draws them both in those love stories… It comes out later that he can talk to ghosts. And once she does she gets curious and asks some questions… He sees her slowly as a muse he is dedicated to, and she slowly starts to fall more and more for his charms, seeing him calm her spirits and let her forget her duties as a princess.

True Ending: This time she found the other sketches in a room and got red looking at them, as he came in she tried to act like she saw nothing but he noticed… a comment that guess he has to do this earlier slips him and he hands her a small box with a ring… if she would like to come with him to his kingdom… which she happily agreed to and quickly pressed a kiss on him. The wedding played out with even the ghosts being present during that time, just others don’t notice them. She squeezed his hand tight and looked at him assuredly before taking off her veil to face him… the same smile as seen in previous drawings staring back at him. It became a reality.

Good Ending: On the last day she finally caught him sketching the both of them and she found it very flattering. He was a bit nervous but she was there to ask him if he wanted to stay with her… Visibly he was surprised but took her hand and let her sit down, so he could actually show more of those sketches he did, making her red from how much he thought about her… both went to her parents so she can tell them the news and a scene plays where she stays at his kingdom. She seems beaming red playing a model for him but after he chatted with her you can see her smile is very genuine and happy.

Bad Ending: Similar to alt ending she got too curious and one of the ghosts start possessing her given Des didn’t manage to calm them… and so he tried to fix the situation and get this ghost out of her but to no avail… worse she pushed him away and hurt him… he left the kingdom in shame… and the princess was never the same…

Alt Ending: The same ghosts he has been talking to he has done a ceremony to keep them under control… however given Carol has misinterpreted his Talking to himself as suspicious she follows him to try to see what is going on… as she actually sees the ghosts talk to him, she stumbles backwards…. falling down the stairs… and as she hit her head but survived she completely forgot about it… but she also forgot about everything anymore… And so she became empty.

______________________________________________________

The Dos/Lio/Crimson route @rookvonhunt

This route will be confusing cause you constantly switch from meeting Dos to meeting Lio on occasion… while Dos makes her smile and laugh a lot, Lio she is somewhat distrustful of yet intrigued by… Eventually throughout talking with both of them she encounters a third individual called Crimson…. a mercenary who stays in town… talking to all three she has a theory but does not speak up on it… if she gets too much and asks too many personal questions the bad end is near. The path introduces Trinity too as Dos told a little story about his former wife, while Carol notices that Trinity also knows Lio too… her theory becomes more clear. She is asking how both Prince Dos and Lord Lio can rule over the land after many talks building up trust and the secret slowly comes out that they both are the same person…

True Ending: In the case of this ending she actually knows about his criminal activities but also knows about all three and spends enough time with them to get attached… She herself proposes the marriage in hopes that they don’t have to rely on these activities with her money… but also because she fell for all three of them… Lio reluctantly agreed knowing that Dos as well would be very happy about it… and somewhat he felt attached too he does not admit this though… She goes back to his land and a scene plays with Trinity as the flower girl, and Dos smiling happily next to Carol in her dress. Both looking at each other smiling.

Good Ending: Knowing about the Truth she said she doesn’t mind it cause although she likes Dos a little more she would love to get to know Lio more as well… especially she would care for Trinity as she was her own. Hearing this assurance, Lio agreed if that is her choice he won’t stop her… but that he might be hiding more things. With her words that she doesn’t care as long as she gets to be with them they agreed to this and she told her parents about her decision… they already knew about the two suitors being one… A scene plays where Carol sits on the couch with Trinity reading books and Dos next to her listening to… a new happy family.

Bad Ending: She prys too much into Lio's affairs… and as known curiosity kills the cat.. knowing she now knows about the things he does, he knocks her out and she gets sold off for money… Dos not knowing where the princess vanished to give an alibi and the king and queen never saw the princess ever again.

Alt Ending: If Carol tells James about her doubts of Lio, a fight between them will happen one night… where they hold knives against another to threaten the other… She noticed what was happening and broke up the fight… Lio makes an offer to the two… to follow him in what he does and accept it…. or to die right here… Both had no real choice given he used some sort of dark magic to keep them in place but James thought at least when he came with her he could protect the princess… and so both started to stay in the lord's mansion… playing their part…

The Damien route @hades-eternal

Being drawn in by his charm Carol decided to give Damien a chance even if his line of doing all to win her over seemed to her a bit concerning… He often invited her for dance lessons, complimented her scent and threw just as much charm at her as he could. If you deny him a lot you get the bad end if you give too much into them you get the alt end. At one night after those times are passed she talks with him honest about how she noticed him avoid the sunlight throughout this time, she only met him inside… he overplayed it again and tried to avoid the question but she said how can she be with him if she can’t know what he thinks and actually wants…. hearing these words he shows his teeth and reveals he is a vampire… but as he expected her to be in terror, she just said that explains a lot and thanked him for sharing.

True Ending: He kneels before her after confessing he is a vampire, that he hasn’t met any princess so far that caught his heart that much and made him feel so cared for… so he wanted to ask her to be his wife… she agreed to it but asked him also about his age… benign hesitant why she asked it she said she would ask again after telling her parents the news. As she finished the talk with them… you see a castle wedding play out, where she looked at him and whispered something in his ear… if after the ceremony he could turn her also into a Vampire… so they could actually stay together forever…. hearing that he was very happy and kissed her on instinct before the priest could finish his words.

Good Ending: After finding out about this he still asked if they could still spend more time… if he could give her one final dance lesson… She agreed and as they shared a passionate dance, both actually shared a kiss… a clear answer that they felt attracted to one another… Eventually she told her parents she would choose him and another scene plays out where she sits down with him on the bed, having him lean over her as both look at the moonlight from the window… they share another kiss… as he asks her about if she wanted to transform and she said she’ll think about it.

Bad Ending: If you don’t keep him engaged he moves on to meet her in her chambers in secret and reveals his teeth… sinking them in her neck and sucking her dry until she faints… her servants find her later on the floor… while he already vanished into the fogs of the woods.

Alt Ending: He grew too obsessed with her and attached… The next day she walked into the dinner table and saw all the suitors as well as her parents attacked by the Vampire… he quickly had her caught in a rope and said he had to deal with them so they could be together forever… She is seen later in his castle, a bite wound on her neck, her eyes weak and him feeding her some things smiling… telling her she will be his one and only queen forever. Her Vampire fangs are shown.

The Cho-hee route @hey-its-cweepy

Both already know that their meeting with each other was arranged but despite that Carol felt that he was to her pretty interesting and she could talk with him more genuinely about the situation. He was surprised by her asking to walk with him as he went out to gather his thoughts, asked if his scars look scary to her but she told him not at all. He raised his brows but decided to chat more with her… growing more fond. As he opened up about his insecurities and you don't support him much you likely will end up on the bad end. If she instead even shows him her scar he will seem a bit more at ease… the problem during this route is his family and how they trouble him so Carol tries to find ways to support him.

True Ending: This time Carol found him at the fountain in the courtyard… he knew his parents wanted to take him back that day if he didn't manage to bring good news and Carol approached him as he grew nervous. She took his hand and pressed something in his hand… a ring that could fit his finger… he was in disbelief that she actually chose him out of all of the suitors but agreed that he grew feelings for her too. However as his parents entered the castle and already wanted to scold him for taking so long Carol and her parents declared that now that she and Cho-hee will get married they are commanded to step down as king and queen, something they didn't want to accept until the royal advisor stated some of their misdeeds. The wedding was celebrated pretty and big, near the shores so that the water could be heard as Cho-hee was brought to the altar by his sister. Carol once again took both his hands in hers before the kiss… making them husband and wife.

Good Ending: One day they met up back at the beach… where Cho-hee stared at it in thought… Carol said she finally has a solution to how he can finally be free and asked him to come to the castle… There he found his sister seemingly happy and his parents taken off by guards which confused him… turned out they found some dirt on them. He let out a sigh in relief and Carol said she is glad she could help but as she wanted to leave he asked her if they could still spend time with another… cutting to a scene later where him, his sister and Carol walked through the city and he held an arm around her… them all finally seeming like they can enjoy things at peace.

Bad Ending: Despite Cho-hee telling her all about his insecurities… Carol chose another suitor instead of him… leading to him being saddened about it… As he returns back to his kingdom he faces some judgement and harsh words from his parents… with drawing to his room and trying to get all this pain out.

Alt Ending: After hearing about Cho-hee's situation with his family, both run away together but as they arrive at the Sea… He handed her a magical potion… she was a little confused by it as he explains… she can still go back or she can follow him to the seas. As he said that he drank the potion and jumped in turning into a sea creature. She nodded and drank the potion as well… and so they began a life together under the Seas.

The Azure route @rosietrace

Azures Route revolves around Carol getting him out of her shell and them discussing many stories and literature, sharing some favorites… he often asks her questions about the books he gave her to read, if she answers too many wrong… the bad end might happen. Later she often relaxes with him under one of the apple trees, both enjoying the calm… as she falls asleep on his shoulder from all the stress these last days caused her… The closeness to her is an odd feeling to her yet he somewhat enjoys it… she grows interested in his writing and he often hears her practise with the Piano instructor and staying nearby… Most of their route likely involves small fluff interactions with her , comparing some stories of her books to them. You also meet Yuuta who in this universe is more the moral support to bring Azure to at least try to talk with her more.

True Ending: She still gives him the book to read and he opens it without batting an eye just… to notice a ring inside… looking at it in shock. She just told him:”What if I tell you I wanted to be with you as long as I can… what if… we married and have a happy ending like in those books?” He was still in disbelief but started to slightly tear up that she felt the same as him… and agreed right away. Fast forward and they both get married with Yuuta being the best man at his wedding… she has almost the same dress as the princess on this book cover they read about… She noticed him being nervous and held his hand with a small smile to assure him it's fine, before leaning in for a kiss… many of the attendees cheered for them.

Good Ending: She read one particular story she found with him… telling about a princess who fell in love… and after he was done reading one passage he closed the book and told her that he had grown to actually like her a lot… so much so that he wouldn’t mind being with her even longer than this week… she agreed to it and that out of the suitors she liked him the most… and so she informed her parents about this decision… a scene is shown of both of them in the library picking a stack of books to take with them. She gave him a slightly teasing comment and he nearly dropped his books out of embarrassment… and as she placed a kiss on his cheek he met her with a more calm smile… seems both finally could enjoy these stories together.

Bad Ending: Instead of getting to be with Azure, he was too hesitant about trusting her… and so Yuuta took the opportunity of Money and asked Carol's parents instead if he could marry her. They saw how their daughter, despite choosing Azure, seemed hesitant… and so they agreed to Yuuta's proposal given it was beneficial… and so on that dinner night they announced him as the one who won the suitors battle… much to both Azure and Carol's shock… however she couldn’t refuse… where would she go if she just left now… she had no way to refuse this marriage for money… but she apologized to Azure for the circumstances… A scene of the Marriage played… where Azure avoided his eyes and Carol's head hangs low… mainly feeling trapped like a bird in a golden cage.

Alt Ending: As both sit down under one of the apple trees one apple falls on her head and knocks her out… waking up she suddenly felt herself into a more futuristic setting and Azure next to her did wake her up but… suddenly there was no kingdom…. no princess… only space around them… it felt outlandish… as if she got transported to another dimension… being stuck here she grew mad not understanding what was going on… and secluded herself.

___________________________________________________________

The Kalida Route @vale-ocs-roleplay

Kalida in this route hides most of his body under golden steel and a mask to not show his monstrous features… him playing flute was his way to calm himself but it was surprising to him as the princess approached him to listen… At first he thought he left a bad impression but she smiled at him and said it only made her a tad more curious… she noticed at the dinner party that he grabbed seconds of the famed apple pie of her country and during this route might give him one… the bad ending will happen if you give him a feeling of not being accepted, so she has to assure him it's fine to share who he is and that she likes him regardless of it… showing him gentleness and kindness. And making him feel well around her.

True Ending: He felt well enough to stay instead of running away and she sent some of the servants to ask him to go to her room… she prepared his favorite pie for him… or at least tried… but not only that… he eyed a small box sitting next to his plate on the table.. opening it he found a ring and looked at her a bit confused… as she told him she would like for him to be his and rule the kingdom with her… he was in total shock until he felt her warm hands snap him back and agreed to her proposal… At their wedding she actually convinced the other castle folk to accept him as he is too, so he could still marry her without having to hide… as they both leaned closer and she looked at him with loving eyes… finally he found a place to call home.

Good Ending: As he wanted to run away from the castle feeling the princess deserves something better she stopped him at the gates asking why he wanted to leave… hearing his words she grows tired and gives him a kiss at the part of the skin she was allowed to kiss… showing that she does care about him no matter what he looks like… a gesture that moved his heart even if he questioned her again if she was sure…. as she nodded and she ran off to tell her parents he had a small smile… You can later see a scene where she sits down on his lap with him on a couch and carefully traces his body, even the more monstrous parts… complimenting each of them and telling him how much she loves him.

Bad Ending: He doesn’t have his human form under control and loses sight of himself. Mainly because he thought thanks to her words he would never accept his monstrous self… and so he gave back into his instincts… She tried to find him that night but seeing his true form, many servants who noticed a faint scream of her came to protect her… and although she noticed it was him and told them to stop it was no avail… the guards took him out… and she felt mentally not able to continue this whole search for suitors…

Alt Ending: Carol is too eager getting closer to him but accidentally gets poisoned by him after a kiss given his venom… she managed to survive thanks to local healers but… Kalida was gone… left in shame.

________________________________________________________

The Watson route @forestwispocs

This Route mainly revolves about them spending lots of time in the gardens, her sharing some history and how she tends for some of the flowers as well as her trying to see past the fact that he is not only a charming gentleman... bad ending will occur if she feels like he has been lying too much to her... but believing some lies to reach the truth and get him to open up more will make things better... He will share a little about how his brother got striped of his title and how he wants to make things better now... and he gets her to accept how beautifull he thinks she is.... they both learn from another to love each other for what they truely are.

True Ending: At night he actually visited her chambers to meet her, settling down a bundle of Yellow flowers for her and waited for her to come back... as she did he said to take one flower out she liked the most... as she did take a dafodil she found a ring attached to it... and he kneeled down to propose to her. She teared up a little but accepted pressing a kiss on him... as he spinned her around, both go to her parents to tell the news and we flash forward to their wedding and actually Watsons brother being his best man during it. The wedding is filled with flowers around them... Eventually things grow a little chaotic but as they kissed the cheers are high and he carried her right off the altar with a smile.

Good Ending: On the last day he leaves her a note in the bedroom to come at midnight to the rose garden in the courtyard. She follows this invitation and this time he doesn’t wait with a Rose but with a Dafodil... knowing its her favourite... She feels honored to accept it and sat down with him... Quickly he cuts to the chase asking if she would maybe go with him back to his land and took her hand to place a kiss on it... she agreed that she would be interested to see it... there is a scene where they both sit down together late at night as Carol studied some books trying to help Watson about brother and how to get him back in the noble house. Watson compliments her effort and gives her a forehead kiss as she falls asleep, carrying her off to bed.

Bad Ending: After her feeling unsatisfied with Watson she often avoided him, leading to the both of them getting into an argument in the Rose garden… They yelled at each other from the balcony as Watson got closer to ask her to start anew… she was hesitant and took a step back… but this step led into her tumbling and slipping… and so the princess fell into the thorn bushes… dying through the thorns.

Alt Ending: Yasuno overwatched the both of them walking through the garden and took the opportunity to snatch the princess away... a fight escalted between them both but Yasuno defeated Watson, he tried to kidnap the princess but was knocked out by a surprise attack from James... although all three were save something was odd about this Yasuno in particular... a black smoke coming out of him... Soon the Black smoke engulfed the the three and they found themselve seperated in a Labyrinth.... having an open ending on if they managed to escape this thorny place.

_________________________________________________________

The commoner routes show always a scene where Carol asks her parents if she can get more time. They agree a bit hesitant and she is allowed to roam free but she still chats with some suitors to not give attention she might be falling for a commoner.

The James Route @twsted-princess

Given they have already known each other for years and are already particular close... You could consider this the childhood friend route... given Carol is still unsatisfied about the suitors and this situation, James sticks close and cheers her up with old stories as well as when problems occur with some suitors. He is there to take care of her and keep trouble away from her but.... the King and Queen are not satisfied by him technically keeping some of these Suitors away from her. Despair grew higher cause she doesn’t no what is right... she can’t grow close to the other suitors and James gives her comfort... she is conflicted and wishes to be with him but... her parents want her to marry someone with money... And so she looked for a solution that she could be with him.

True Ending: She researched into the law a bit more and noticed that could keep her crown and still be with James... as well as provide for her kingdom... she proposed the Idea to her parents and although they sighed that she doesn’t take the easy way out, her mother has noticed how much love she felt for the young knight... and so they both agreed to the plan... Carol called James at night to her chambers and although he expected her to be in distress again she offered him a ring... asking him if he wanted to rule the kingdom with her... he was flabbergasted and wanted to ask if that is even possible but her Parents chimed in giving their agreement... a big wedding in the Kingdom was hosted... crowning the new king and queen of this land... As both lifted their heads after receiving their crowns... she held him close as if relieved that she could finally be with the one she loved... that finally he could be more than just her Knight.

Good Ending: Having decided Love is more important to her than her status... at night she confessed her love to James and asked him if he could take her away on a horse and they could run away... although hesitant about it... he couldn’t deny her feelings for her too... and he couldn’t bear seeing her get married off to someone she doesn’t even love and so both made their way to dash past the guards away.... their escape was sucessfull and they build up a new life in a small town far away... Carol sold her princess dress and accesoires and now works as Scholar... while James takes on more Physical work... they both sat down in their new house as he kissed her, promising that no matter what happens, he will keep that smile of hers safe.

Bad Ending: Despite her being attached to him her parents grew impatient and caught her as she was pretty close with James... and so they put two and two together and stripped him off his duty... while Carol was forced to pick another suitor... she not only lost the person she loved... but also a dear friend she had forever... and thanks to her parents he was send away.... far away from her... into the dangers to never come back.

Alt Ending: A scene plays out where James runs outside to find Carol and actually tell her that he loves her, thinking a Suitor might be faster, however instead of a suitor, he finds a group of girls with her… the friends she made over this route, Princess Melanie, Lady Kirsten, Keres,Nyphy, Miss Melody and Queen Orion. The other girls wanted to give up their duties of their kingdoms to form a group of adventurers together… It is a protest against the system of monarchy… and how it forces them into these roles… and so Carol bows and thanks James for all of his service over the years… but for now she wants to make this journey to discover herself. She left him with a cheek kiss and went on with the girls in their new attire.

_________________________________________________________

The Jonas Route @rookvonhunt

To clear her head she gave into the music more to get herself distracted... Jonas was surprised she wanted more lessons... she felt somewhat charmed by his little awkward nature... Eventually she felt herself after each date with one suitor to look more forward to get to play with him... but he noticed some of her hesitance about the situation in how she played those songs, how her fingers lightly were nervous... She was honest about feeling hesitant about marrying any of them... He told her to do what her heart feels is right... But she said she doesn’t even understand her heart right now and so... they use this lesson to put the thoughts of her heart into words. She slowly fell for him throughtout deciphering her feelings.

True Ending: As he entered the practise room... she played one of his favorite songs as she came in... he was impressed how quick she learned but felt like she doesn’t need him anymore... as he said that she asked him to stretch out his hands and handed him a small box... as he saw the ring he nearly fainted if she didn’t catch his fall... She told him she was serious about marrying him and ruling the kingdom with him but as he butted in with he can’t be king she was like, she could still manage most of it... and he would just be there for her... calming her as usual... under these circumstances he agreed to be with her... given he also did have feelings... however both set up the wedding in a autumn forrest... doing the crowning another day as she brushed some leaves off his hair to kiss him... She held his hand calmly and hummed another song in response to make him calm too... as they turned back to the crowd.

Good Ending: Even if he was invited to teach that day she caught him before he could enter the same piano room and dragged him in one of the empty castle rooms... saying she is tired of playing the perfect princess... saying she finally figured out her feelings... that she fell in love with him... he was dumbfounded and in disbelief... he can’t be with the princess... and so she proposed they leave while they still can and start a life together... she would become a commoner for him. And so he agreed under the circumstance that they don’t get caught... Eventually she snuck with him through the gardens and... a scene plays where she is playing the piano again... with him looking over her shoulder... they have comfy house now... and she placed a small cheek kiss on him getting him red.

Bad Ending: One day he just vanished... and a new instructor was hired to teach her... as she asked her parents why they said she might have gotten distracted by this hobby of hers and should focus more on what is important... saddned she brushed some dust of the Piano and said.... then she doesn’t want to play anymore... not ever....

Alt Ending: As Carol and Jonas practised, they got surprised by a purple haired Lady (Portia) who tried to share some scandals of the kingdom... her and Jonas are buddies and as she heard he was currently teaching the princess she had to come over... mainly cause the whole King and Queen inviting suitors to the kingdom spread rumors of what if their daughter was only hogging these gentleman as a harem... both Carol and Jonas looked at her in disbelief... however in a ball her family has arranged they hear more and more people spreading rumors about the princess... and she felt under pressure... she just ran away to hide in her room... telling her parents to send all of the suitors away... and so the princess isolated herself...

_________________________________________________________

The Ronald Route @terrovaniadorm

Both the Ronald and Trey route will enable at the same time but depending on who you chat to or are nice to more you get either of them. With Ronald you have her knowing him for a while but noticing currently he seems under stress to do castle work but also some chocolates on the sides... if you pry to much on why He does these chocolates you will get the alternate endings. After one frustrating dinner he listens to her being burdened and can relate cause his friend relies on him so they can both work towards making their own shops. Both sighed in unison and started to feel like they relate and so throughout the days they both supported the other by visiting them.

True Ending: Speaking out things with the queen and King they invited Ronald and Cadbury into the audience chambers... Carol stepped up to say they have an offer to make... supporting their idea with money, in exchange of the castle getting some chocolates specifically delivered... Cadbury was quick to agree but then Carol walked up to Ronald and said she also had a another thing to ask him... confessing her feelings and offering him the ring... he said he can't cause he would leave Cadbury if he ruled the kingdom with her but she said he doesn't have to rule with her... she can rule alone and still visit him so often... on these conditions he accepted her proposal. The wedding was helt among the streets that the kingdom and they exchanged one chocolate before the vow as a weird tradition... many smiled upon the couple. And accepted their Queen even if she has no actual king to rule with.

Good Ending: Eventually she noticed non of those suitors would make her Happy, this Castle wouldn't either... given her and Ronald have chatted about the small shop his family owns... Carol sneaks out at night to visit him there... of course Ronald was surprised why she didn't go with Guards and suddenly stopped by but Carol got in to explain her thoughts... what If she helped him and his friends make their dream come true in another Kingdom... and she could run away with him. He seemed hesitant but then Cadbury came in saying it would be useful as well as Ronald has been talking about her non stop to, he should admit his feelings too. Being exposed like this he sighed and the three packed their things... all three going on a carriage.. with the valuables Carol sold off they were able to make a big confectionery in the neighbours Kingdom, Carol trying her best to help but her blobs still need some work, Ronald pulled his arms around her and showed how she should do it... as she smiled back at him.

Bad Ending: Trying one kind of chocolate out of curiosity when Ronald is gone... will lead into Carol collapsing on the floor actually... they seemed to be poisoned and given this seemed like an attempt to kill the princess... Ronald gets kicked out the castle. As he got brought out by the guards Yasuno smirked using this commotion to take away the Princess...

Alt Ending: As Carol is about to confess her feelings to Ronald and he is surprised… Cadbury comes into the kitchen and tells about his new plans to open and own a town shop with Ronald to make more profit than his Royal shop. He tells Carol that he can’t give up his precious friend to someone and so she has to pick someone else to marry. Confused about this whole situation they both left her dumbfounded on what to do… She walked to the kitchen counter to find one thing at least…. an apple pie and a small note… a thank you from Ronald before leaving.

___________________________________________________________

The Trey route

If you get closer to Trey than to Ronald you will notice that although he got used to his new job in the kitchen he asked the princess if she ever tried to cook herself. She did not but was always curious about it and so he offered these lessons in Secret quickly between dinners. As she asked why he would he said, in this world everyone has to learn to do things themselfs so when trouble comes and you are alone, you can still take care of yourselves... during this cooking she fell in Love with his charms and uncomplicated personality compared to the suitors. She felt comfort and assurance in his words.

True Ending: After all those Lessons Carol served her parents a cake made by herself and announced that she thanks the kitchen for teaching her how to do this... but she also has to tell them that she might have fallen for a commoner instead and the suitors... didn’t manage to convince her... her parents nodded and made an agreement with her so she could instead be with Trey. Telling him the news however... he already had a ring for her in his hand... having talked to her parents before as well and asked for their blessing... Their wedding is with his whole family, many fancy cakes and desserts on the table... as he was stunned seeing her come in with her dress, quickly pulling her closer with a gentle smile at her... a kiss shared before the audience.

Good Ending: At one night where they were cooking in Secret, one moment between them got close... so close that Carol kissed him on instinct before apologizing to him... prying into it more he asked her directly if she liked him which she agreed to with a yes....but her parents would likely not allow her to be with him... so he offered to run away... that they go to the town his family stays at and settle there.. surprised by the sudden offer she took it and after she took in a disguise they both took the carriage to his home. A scene plays where she just finished an actual good looking cake for his family. He placed a kiss on her cheek and they lived happy.

Bad Ending: Not taking his lessons serious he feels like he doesn’t want to teach you anymore... he in general does not feel satisfied in this job and so he leaves a note that he left... if she ever needed his sweets she knew where she could find him. However as she did wanted to visit him... the bakery was destroyed... nobody was there... just an empty house.

Alt Ending: He awaits you with some cakes you make one day... somehow Ronald wasn’t nearby and many of the servants were not either... on instinct she chose the cake with an apple on it... mainly cause they were her favourites... however as she did, she felt her mind turn blurry... and her conciousness fade... as she woke up later she sat down with Trey at an unknown place... something about his eyes seemed different... like he was undersomeones control.. as he gave her another peace of the cake... changing her and making her addicted to him.

____________________________________________________________

The Punch Route (Secret) @twstinginthewind

She walked into town again to visit the Blacksmith... mainly cause she was curious about all the small inventions and figures Punch made... and so she asked if she could order some of them for herself... most people only stopped by for weapons so he was glad that someone was interested in his personal work... Eventually he fell for the princess quick while she hadn’t realized her feelings yet... however she often dropped by his shop as an escape from her current situation... With him she could talk honest about her family and why she felt stuck in this situation.

True Ending: The shop on that day didn’t go that well and his family was worried about the future as they got a surprised visit from the princess itself to make an offer... that they be blacksmiths for the Royalguard and live among the castle... Joker seemed excited and Punch almost flabbergasted but even more as the princess walked up to him saying she has a little thank you gift. It was somewhat of a makeshift ring but as he took it in his hand it got broken and she sighed... saying she might need some help to make this work... he said casually he would help her make another one as his sister ellbowed him... saying that the princess wanted to propose to him... which he didn’t believe untill he saw Carol nod at him... A scene of the wedding played out where the Royal guard all held up new swords and the mechanical butterflies flew over the venue. He was still red and in shock that he actually would marry the princess that day but she pulled him clost to make him snap back to reality, before giving him a small kiss as sign of her love.

Good Ending: One day he actually visited her in the castle to show her the newest invention he made... somewhat of a mechanical flying butterfly... she watch it in awe flying over her head as she looked at him with a smile... telling him how she is happy he cheered her up so much those last days... he was blushing about her kind words but what he didn’t expect... was her telling him she might like him more... than just a friend she made the last days... however given her parents she might not be able to be with him... both discussed the situation and after coming up with a distraction both left the castle and Carol used her leftovers to help him and his family to move their forgery to another town... a scene plays where he shows her another invention and she holds his hand tightly looking at it... his sister comes in to tease them both how her brother scored a princess, Carol just answering she is princess no more... and she is glad about it.

Bad Ending: As she dropped by for another task he interpreted her words wrong and confessed early that he had a crush on her... Overwhelmed by the sudden confrontation... she left the blacksmiths house as quick as she entered, without a word... he continued his work the next days although a little saddened about the situation as he heard commotion outside... that the princess finally has found her suitor and announced to marry them... hearing this he was frustrated that he messed up like that and... threw away on invention he wanted to give her.

Alt Ending: For one day Carol was able to invite Punch to the castle after getting some info out of him that him and his sister picked Music up as a hobby. Joined with Jonas who often instructed her for the piano she asked the three if they could perform a song together, one she wanted to perform properly for a while... this ending is moreso a friendship ending in which Carol stops focusing too much on her situation and instead enjoys this little play a bit more and thanks the people she considers her friends...

__________________________________________________________

The Esca Route (Secret) @silent-dragon

As she visited him again in the woods he greeted her with a warm smile and showed her around the forest... in this route she already ran away from her castle, curious about the world. And so she stayed with him in the woods, learned about animals, how to survive and many things about herself... however the more trust the both of them built, he told her about a curse he is suffering from but not that to break it he would need someone to fall in love with him, despite how odd he looks... most of this route is them slowly growing closer. At times he often just sticks close and protects her from hostile figures. At night she often worries about his curse and looks at the small scratched he gets through clumsyness to treat them...

True Ending: His time was almost up... the curse was almost upon him as Carol suggested what if she kissed him... confessing that she indeed fell for him... he picked her up for a kiss and to his luck... it worked curing the curse... not only that but he was finally able to step out of the forest... despite that she said they could build themselves a small home in the forest together... she could live with him together and this way he would never be alone... after that promise you can see a fast forward to a small wood cottage where she brought 3 cats in she found... and they all took place somewhere on his body making him chuckle... soon the cats went of to play and she layed down on him.. hugging him tight... saying she is glad she ran away to be with him. And that soon they might not be that alone... not only cause of the kittens but also because they might be a family soon.

Good Ending: Even if she managed to break his curse with a kiss... she also felt a bit worried about her home so as both stepped out the forrest she looked back up at the castle... despite that she did make her decision to stay with him... but only on the term that they travel together through nature untill they find a true home... she didn’t want to be seperated from the humans so finding a forest where they could stay but she could still go into town from time to time was her hope... both found this home as she came back with some fresh fruit and clothes for him... getting picked up and kissed on the forehead... compared to the true ending it felt more her not giving up her connection to the human world and clinging onto it. While still giving him all the love and affection she has.

Bad Ending: He fails to make her fall in love with him and the curse slowly takes him over making him vanish into a forrest spirit... forever bound to the woods and never able to live a normal life again.... he is still with the animals and tend to them but... he would not be able to see humans anymore... including her... saddened she left the forrest back to the castle.

Alt Ending: Her parents send out a search troop to find her and recover her but in this ending they managed to find her and although she struggled and refused to go back... she got dragged away... back in the castle she was far more isolated than before... never to step foot outside the castle again.

The Yasuno Route (Secret)

Answering all of Yasunos questions right leads him to kidnap her away to his mansion and keep her there... if you encourage his obessions she likely will end on the Alt end while if she makes him distrust her, she would end up on the bad ending. The key is to keep him at bay yet try to understand him better. She will find out about his connection to an underground organization that wanted to trumple the kingdom and how stories about the princess made him fall for her... as well as that betrayed friend and foe alike to get here. And also what he had to sacrefice to get here. This is one of the hardest routes in the game to finish with a good end.

True Ending: In this case she has managed to fully understand his feelings and what pain he went through... how many people he lost and why he became like this. Away from his lackeys she has a serious conversation and there she told him that she is flattered by his love for her and that there is a way to stop this from escalating... if the both of them marry and become King and Queen of the land... He chuckled if she was foolish enough that he would take care of the kingdom that never helped him... her words were that better that than a kingdom who slaughtered them all... she was right with that... this group only fed up on being neglected... not on being hunted down... and marrying her is something he desired... speaking with the group they agreed to it if it means their living situation gets better too... and so Carol returned to the castle, playing Yasuno off as a suitor she met instead of her kidnapper... once they married although the atmosphere was tense for once she actually saw a genuine smile on the man... as if he finally was free from pain... and that was enough for her as she leaned up to kiss him.

Good Ending: Managing to find the right words she tells him that she doesn’t mind being with him in his mansion but if he wanted to be with her forever she won’t tolerate any violence and misdeeds.. so he has to stop trying to overthrow the kingdom in exchange for her being with him... he agreed and announced the end of the order... some times later a scene played where she sat down with him in a room and he placed some kisses and bites on her neck, holding her tight sitting on his lap... giving her promises that whatever happens... he will make her not regret this choice... although its not fully clear if she truely loves him... at least her kingdom is safe.

Bad Ending: Feeling like she still wants to escape and never be able to give him a chance... he decided she has seen too much and witnessed too much... his feelings grew cold... so instead he decided to treat her like a hostage than a guest instead... and used her for gaining money from her parents and other ways... once he had enough he decided to just kill her off... like a puppet he didn’t want to play with anymore

Alt Ending: His feelings of love for her have grown into an unhealthy way... so much so that he decided to take the life of everyone she cherished before her eyes... one after another... seeing her eyes grow more empty and the kingdom grow more in dissoray... Standing upon this empty throne with her as his queen he will let this kingdom be covered in plants and keep her to himself untill they both die.

She started teaching others about things she learned in the library from her kingdoms as well as reading and writing... discarding her identity as the princess and a scene plays out where late at night the both lay in bed together and promise each other to keep the other safe... while a knock at their doors is heard making it uncertain who it is.

Bad Ending: He gained no feelings for her and goes through with the original plan... meeting a slimey noble who took interest in the beauty of the maiden... he told her in this place she would be save so she agreed to say and he got his money... days later after pulling through with this he walks into a dark alleyway.... and finds her corpse which was pretty messed up and full of different stab wounds... despite no feelings he felt guilt somewhat for this... but also a bit of emptyness.

Alternate Ending: Both of them were cornered by other thugs who wanted to have the princess as well to gain wealth and riches... yet as Daniel fought them of and tried to prevail... an arrow was aimed at him... one which the princess defended him from... the thugs scatter knowing they messed up and their boss would be angry at him while she has one last conversation dying in his arms.

Running away from the Castle she lived in for years she arrived at a town and as trying to hide from guards was led by another person into a run down house... he introduced himself as Terry and recoginzed her as the princess... She offered her Jewelry so she could stay hidden in his house for now... eventually chatting with him she found out he knows about her cause he formerly was part of one of the Suitors she had and lived in Jeshs kingdom yet was cast out after a fight with the noble... since then he lived in poverty. She started to figure out that she was good and teaching others, changed her appearance to seem less regal and start gain some money for them both through teaching kids... And slowly finds out more behind Terrys past.

True Ending: One day she was busy teaching as Terry bursted in... she looked at him confused as he told her he was saving up some money and offered her a ring... telling her that since she been there all the hope he lost was finally restored and he wished to keep her for himself before anyone could be first... She felt flattered and smiled telling him she grew attached to him so she would for sure take that offer, on term they move towns... He nods and picked her up happy... after a blend they had their wedding, even Jesh secretly attended giving his apoligies to Terry and hoping he makes her happy even if he seems very grumpy leaving with his servants... With this it ends in a Scene at their wedding night where Terry nuzzled against her and seems in general much happier... Her saying she is glad she gave up on being a princess that day... but for now she wants to just enjoy live with him in the more simpler way. A flirt and a touch led into the end.

Good Ending: Eventually after getting to know him longer she grew attached to this simple life with him.... one night she offered him her blanket and cuddled close against him, asking him if he mind that she stays for now... given she feels happy when she is near him... he made a cheeky comment that he couldn’t believe he scored himself a princess that also likes him back and they both started laughing... despite her still being worried that guards search for her, he said he will do his best to keep her safe and happy...Eventually they made enough money to get a new house more away from the kingdom as a scene is played where He cuddles her from behind while she is teaching some kids, saying she will give him some more affections later if he needs them trying to continue her work.

Bad Ending: Both of them don’t manage to get enough money and eventually after a while both pass out cause of hunger... as Terry opened his eyes, he saw Jesh who held the princess in his arms, mocking him one last time before leaving... saying he should have chosen better. He did leave him one last piece of bread to survive, yet he didn’t have the energy to stop him from taking the princess with him and... his fate is unknown.

Alternate Ending: Not fully trusting Terry and having her doubts, one night Carol just runs away again, leaving a small note as thank you yet in her running through the forest she hears some ominous howling in the forest.... the scene fades and the next day marks where people rumor about the lost princess that was never seen again... her parents closing the doors of the castle and saying nobody is allowed to enter again. Nobody knows what actually happened to the princess...

The Raede route @silent-dragon

Away from her kingdom she remembered a potion maker and wanted to ask them to get her a disguise potion... with potion in hand she ran into the woods to flee yet tripped and the potion spilled over a single Rose... resulting in Raede coming to existance as half Human half Plant Being... and she decided to take him with her untill they were safe... mainly this route is Raede adjusting to being alive, Carol and him hidding in the woods and growing closer... Carol tells stories about her childhood where she took care of the royal garden and Raede meanwhile keeps her safe for any followers.

True Ending: Similar to the good end Raede got a potion that let him maintain his form... however thanks to all the things Carol taught him he refused the offer of the potion maker at first... saying he instead wanted to focus that Carol can get a happy life... leading to her confessing she is happy with him wherever they go... so they also take the offer but Raede also did learn from her about the concept of marriage hence he made her a small ring made out of one rose to ask her to stay with him.

Fast forward its a pretty garden wedding here Raysel brings in the rings for both of them, both a silver rose on it. Even if not many attended it was fine cause they both felt happy together... growing together and building up a future In their new green house home.

Good Ending: The Potion maker found them both before it was too late and provided a potion that made it so Raede wouldn't lose his form as Human Plant Hybrid... wanting to offer him to take care of the magical plants at his potions farm. Conflicted Raede looked back at Carol and asked if she wanted to come with him and stay. She agreed to his idea and a scene plays where both work in the green House together and notice something that spread of from Raede... finding a small girl in a Rosebed (aka Raysel) Carol picks her up and asks if they both take care of her and he picks her up giving her a small kiss

Bad ending: One day she woke up and Raede was missing... eventually she noticed the a rose looking the same as him before the transformation... coming to the conclusion either the potion wore off or he turned back. Saddened by this she still took him with her as putting the flower in her hair and moving to the next town disheartened.

Alt Ending: In desperate struggle of Carol noticing Raedes form breaking down she tries to find the potion maker but... he was not there.... she tried to use different potions on Raede thinking they were doing the right thing but instead... it made him melt down saying at least a last thank you before Vanishing... in desperation she made a deal with the potion maker.... but to keep Raede happy and living she had to make the potion maker her husband and go back to her kingdom.... at least she felt glad Raede could live his life.

The Emrys route @sparrow-20

Arriving at the neighbour's city the princess heard rumors about a famous Magician in town... he was said to help any person in peril and so she seeks and Audience with him. Meeting with Emrys it seemed like he knew exactly who she was and he problem... his idea that she could live in peace from her pursuers was taking her far away into a more peaceful Kingdom... however given this journey would be dangerous he accompanied Carol there. He reminded her of a certain Magician in the book she read making her admire him more.

True Ending: She connected the dots quicker that Emrys might be in fact that same Magician from her book... and tried to ask him about her theory... which he admitted ir was true that he was already that old and if she minded that. She shook her head saying how much dear he became to her and how he kept her safe this whole time... he could be more millenias and she could still have fallen for him, even if she did ask who this heroine actually was. He answer that it was just the author who fell for him yet he never gave her a chance. Yet that she as princess might have swayed him more to consider moving his magic business. She leaned closer to him and asked if he wouldn't mind to stay with her for as long as her mortal life lasts...pulling her very close his kiss was an answer to he question...

A scene played of them being done with the wedding as she sat down on his lap in her dress... the room decorated in Magic artifacts and potions on the table. She put her arms around him with a sweet smile as he asked if one day their might be a story about the both of them... she joked if not that she was going to write one... leaning into his embrace.

Good ending: Eventually one night where they were close to their goal Carol sat with him at the bonfire... telling him a little story from the book she read and that it reminder her of him... with a smile he approached her saying if she wanted to be the heroine falling for the Magician which caught her off guard... yet she answered with a maybe she already did... admitting she was attracted to him. After a night of sleep and arriving at the destination the next day He swiftly pulled her close, saying that even if she was safe maybe he should stay around to see if she is fully happy here... it they lived some days together and as he had to leave he left her with a kiss saying he would come back for her once he has finished his businesses.

Bad Ending: During their Journey they took a wrong turn, the princess didn't trust him cause of certain actions and so she ran off alone... however not she was in danger, he had pursuers as well... the next day she felt guilty and wanted to apologise however instead of finding him she found a stone version of him... as if he has been turned into stone... in shock she tried to run only to be approached by the same creature... that kept them both as stone statues

Alt Ending: Eventually the dangers of the journey made her doubt if they ever be safe at all... the guards catched up to them both and Carol apoligized to Emrys that she made him come all this way to keep her safe yet she will go back to her kingdom. She said that she will still pay him with the castles money for his effort and looked at him one last time before leaving with the guards. A feel of regret on her but at least she was safe, even if she had to pick a suitor now.

The Kaminari route @vivaresmala

On her escape out of the Kingdom she arrived exhausted on top of a mountain where she encountered a beautiful man that looked up at the stars playing with some thunder magic in his hands. She thought he was a magician and asked him if he minded that she rested there for a while and he noticed how torn her clothing was and how she seemed exhausted offering her to stay where he stayed... given she had no where else to go she spend time with him for some days trying to figure where to go and what to do.

True Ending: For this ending she figures out he is a bit more powerful than your general Magician as he tried to protect her from a mystical creature and saw how strong his magic truely was. As he worried that she might like him less or be scared of him she assured him this was not the case... she feels safe with him... not only that but these past days he captured her heart... seeing a bunch of shooting stars flying by she blurted out if he wouldn't mind that they stay together... to promise it he gave her a pretty lotus flower themed ring and they both kissed among the stars...

The scene continued some time later where she walked with him In a white dress to a shrine looking place, their marriage be sealed in Secret and them smiling happy at another as flower petals flew through the venue... after the ceremony they had their usual traditional tea they exchanged Carol finally seeming to have the free life she wanted.

Good ending: Spending all this time finding her inner peace and chatting with Kaminari made her feel comfortable... she told him she wants to be more than a princess to a kingdom. She wants to see the world, she wants to make a journey and she wanted to ask him to come with her. As he asked why he said cause she slowly grew and attachment to him... as she told him that he handed her a tea... a rose flower tea... as she was confused what he meant by that he told her roses have a meaning of love to them. One he would love to share with her.

A scene fades where they both arrived as travelers together in a foreign country, looking at a calming Zen garden and her leaning her head against him. Things seem more peaceful... her kingdom is instead lead by her sister and she gets to stay with Kaminari.

Bad ending: She disregarded a warning he gave not to go too deep into the mountains... finding a certain cursed stone and her curiosity getting the better of her.... she lost her soul to this stone... as he found her she layed there like an empty husk while the Demon of the stone tried to possess her... leaving him with no choice but to take her out.

Alt ending: Meeting Kaminari one night on top of the mountain he tells her that she currently isn't next to him... she actually fell into a hole and went unconcious.... those days they spent together never happened... and so she woke up in that hole, her clothes soaked in dirt, her mind in despair knowing she is lost... untill she heard the voice of a guard... instead of running away she returned with them back to the kingdom and followed her duty as princess.

The Florence Route @terrovaniadorm

On her way fleeing from the Guards she got injured and found by the Local villages Healer... he took her in and asked her many questions... as she explained her story however Florence showed her understanding and both developed a plan which town would be the safest to go to after her being treated and recovered fully... in those questions they both understand each other more and as her injury got better she also went out with him to the local market... it got her more and more interested in the healer and she felt well taken care of. To the point it was hard for her to leave really.

True Ending: Taking her to the next town to start a new life she turned to him asking how he felt about this time he spend with her. For one he said she was his favourite patient by far yet also that it does feel hard to see her go. With these words she on impulse pulled him by his collar into a kiss. Suggesting that why she shouldn't stay with him then so she won't have to miss him either. Especially because she teased him by saying she would rather one day carry his name than her families implying she wants to marry him... and so she went back with him to his town.

They had a calm wedding, many towns people organized and joined this wedding because they were grateful for the couple treating people all around... and they were surprised as the bride carried her husband of the venue back to their home. Both crash on the ground with her stroking his hair and smiling at him, thanking him for healing her heart as well.

Good Ending: The last day of her Recovery Florence walked outside with her to see if she can still walk well... she thanked him wholehearted for taking care of her so much and asked if she could stay longer. He was confused given she didn't need to but sh offered instead if she could be his assistant... for one to repay him but also cause she took a liking to him. Flattered by her words he agreed but said to be carefull if someone spotted her.

The scene changed to them both taking care of a patient and her doing the main healing as he held her arms steady... after she was done she pressed a kiss on his cheek as thanks for helping... both of them became a popular talk in town yet nobody recognised Carol as the princess anymore given her different look and vibe... making them a power couple to help the people around town.

Bad ending: One night she heard commotion outside of the house and worried that the guards might catch up to her and attack Florence for hiding her... so she walked out still injured into the streets... where she was kidnapped by bandits... Florence searched for her the next day yet... nor him or the kingdom found out what happened happened her... but given they found her crown in his place the castle guards arrested him and threw him into the dungeon.

Alt Ending: She heard rumors from other patients about Florence and how his aura seems scary... she couldn't believe it yet one night she questioned him about these rumors.. making him more distant and thinking she will believe them too he moreso grows cold towards her and after she recovered he just told her to leave without helping her as promised before. Heartbroken she left the place crying cause she didn't know where to go.

The Vigil Route @authoruio

Remembering from her Childhood and old place she used to visit when she needed a break from the castle she visited a hill with many apple trees, one single stone in the middle. She leaned against it to read in the past and somewhat felt protected. She once against leaned against it, cradling her knees as suddenly someone in Angel wings appeared. She recognized him from her childhood as the one who often fended danger away from her. Vigil told her he would help her find an escape from the kingdom, leading her into safety. Even if he lacked some emotion during their journey she felt calmer next to him and so hoped for a way out without picking a suitor. One way of freedom for herself... and so she rather rely on him and his words than be lost.

True Ending: Even if they made it to safety, Carol asked Vigil if there was any ways she could stay with him, confused by this he asked her why she would... especially cause it means she will have to give up her normal human life. She said it was cause she slowly fell in love with him and now feels like she would feel saddened to see him go. A statement that made him baffled but somewhat he understood what she meant, taking her hand and saying he will do his best to not make her regret this decisions. Fast forward and they build up a life together somewhere, her wearing a white gown as they walked together implying something to a wedding happened between them, both visiting the same stone they first met each other at and telling small stories, smiling she took his hand and hugged him close... feeling much more hopefull than before.

Good Ending: She arrived finally at a small safe town, gets new close and buries her princess dress on a hill nearby... Vigil behind her saying that he finished his job as Guardian angel however she didn’t want him to leave... she grown to like his company to much, so she tries to convince him to stay with her in this town. He had his doubts especially cause of his appearance and why she would keep him around when she doesn’t need someone to protect her anymore, but her answer was cause she likes him, more than she thought at first. Taken aback he says he will think about it.

Cue to a scene of the future where she starts teaching kids and he is always in the back looking after her... he might not have been able to stay but he will always be there for her and visit her... it is open if they got together or not.

Bad Ending: Taking a route into a cursed forrest, cause Carol didn’t fully trust Vigils decisions let her to get into danger by mythical creatures who wanted to posess her body... eventually they managed to get a hold on her and as he found her... she was not the Princess anymore... but moreso a cursed witch to haunt the woods... he left thinking he failed his mission to protect her.

Alt Ending: One night they rested at an old cabin and it started burning, supposedly bandits who stole what they could and left them away... Vigil tried to get Carol out of there in safety but in turn his wings burned off to the sake of him loosing concious... she nursed him back to health but somewhat he grew empty after this... both of them grew distant and eventually she continued her journey without him, regretfull but... he wasn’t the one anymore that she cared and liked... he was nothing anymore.

The Adam Route @silent-dragon

As she wanted to leave after a dinner with the intent of running away from the kingdom she ran into another Suitor who came late to the party... her parents even forgot about him on the list given they thought he wouldn’t join anymore. However seeing this prince that seemed more like a sweet and fun guy she got curious and played of the commotion staying a bit longer... to make up her mind if he is worthy staying for.... She notices that Adam despite being a prince is far more casual as well as comfortable to talk with, as well as sees him get along with Ronald and Trey in the kitchen, often helping her with her picky food taste. A walk through the Kingdom she also notices he only agreed to be a suitor to find a girl that would not use him like others do but be genuine with him, something she admired and thought similar too... over the course of some dinner dates and strolls they continue to bond.

True ending: Her cooking training was actually sucessfull and she made him a sweet pie with the apples of the kingdom... surprising him one night... And as he looked down the pie in happiness and took a bite he praised her how much she improved. She only returned it with: “If I want to be your Queen one day, I need to at least know how to make my king happy.” Playfully telling him that she chose him as her suitor to marry, and feeling his arms pull her on the chair he was sitting on to his lap holding her close. He offered her a ring he actually saved for this moment and so their plan was official... fast forward to the wedding it was a big feast for the whole kingdom, yet the princess did return to his kingdom to become his queen... many commoners were invited too so all of the food was used and after the ceremony she did share that she actually was expecting their first child already as he smiled at her and pulled her close... both sharing a piece of the wedding cake and looking back at the others that celebrated.... Finally she felt at ease and not under pressure anymore.

Good Ending: The princess grew fond of the prince and so tried hard with hours to make a him heart shaped donuts to show her appreciation and thank him for still coming to this kingdom... as well as sharing her love... yet how the donuts turned out her message didn’t fully get through subtly...Adam munched on them with a smile however and asked her himself what she thought of him... as to where she shared that she did fall for him... and would love to get to know him more... it caught him off guard yet in an instant he lifted her up with his arms and held her close... planting some kisses on her face... They both agreed to first go to his kingdom as well and a scene plays where they prepare the carriage and the horses for that trip... she wore a shorter yellow dress and carried a basket of apples from the kingdom before waving her parents off and Adam laying and arm around her for a kiss to follow him.

Bad Ending: Having a dinner that upset her stomach, Adam noticed she was only faking that excuse and packed her things in her room... he asked her where she wanted to go but she apoligized to him and dashed out of the room... running away from the kingdom... as he inspected the desk and read what letter she got he quickly handed it to her parents... it was an offer of Yasuno... to come with him so her family won’t be harmed... yet soon another person reported a fire starting in the castle... the night ended with the princess gone, the suitors all confused in the courtyard, King and Queen seeing the castle burn... and the kingdom in chaos. He wished he would have noticed her behavior sooner.

Alternate Ending: At the second day of spending time with Adam you run into Prince Flint who said something about a proposal to the princess to ditch the current suitors she has and come back to a Royal meeting with Adam together... if you agree to his idea Carol gets transported by a carriage to a meeting with all of the Armonye princes... however she quickly noticed that most of them were curious about her... she didn��t know the plan was for her to play for each of them their wife so they can all live more free and do whatever they want... it was an idea she didn’t mind too much... at least it would give her some time to think... she agreed to it and was treated with lots of care by each of the men... yet found herself in peril some months later as she fell for all of them but couldn’t make a decision... yet... all of them accepted her love without knowing.

The Rowan Route @forestwispocs

She hid away one night in the rose garden of the kingdom... sobbing cause the situation of all these suitors was overwhelming for her. She was found by the kingdoms gardener who was also the brother of a Commoner friend named Melody. Rowan told her a story to cheer her up that before he was in charge of the garden he was a kingdom soldier... and so each day between spending time with suitors she saw herself often paying Rowan a visit to hear his stories and so gain a bit more understanding about the world outside the castle... he often gifted her flowers and with time they grew more fond of another... moreso that Carol questioned herself if this was unfair to her friend. How she was always lured into the gardens... giving into the sweet smell of flowers.

True ending: A long talk with her parents about means and ways to rule the kingdom with a commoner instead took long but her parents knew they wanted their daughter to be happy... and so they made a deal with her, once she confessed her feelings to Rowan she also has to convince him to be the main organized of a project the king and queen wanted to do for a while... Carol explained this to Rowan and confessed her love to him, offering him a tulip themed ring as prove of her dedication which moved him... And so they both made plans for their joined future.

Melody was welcomed to also live in the castle with her brother and Carol, as th wedding ceremony was prepared full with flower wagons and decor... everything was set up to be a beautiful nature wedding... as Carol waited for him at the altar being brought in by his sister... she thanked him once more how his stories and warmth gave her excactly the affection she longed for and wanted to keep... as both kissed to seal their marriage... the flower wagons were transported in the other kingdoms as a peace offering... dawning a new hopefull era of flower filled kingdoms and advanced natural medicine.

Good Ending: Carol wanted to be truely with Rowan... confessing her feelings to him... even if it meant leaving her kingdom behind.... she went to visit him and Melody to be open about her love for him and seeing Melody accept her as her brothers partner she discusses a plan with the two.... to move to another town and set up a nice home together with the jewelry she brought from the castle...the three made up a plan on how to get out the kingdom in the death of the night and moved to a far away town.

Rowan was able to open a flower shop, while Carol next to it managed a small town library, erasing hints of her being a princess, Melody helped them both out with their work... Rowan stopped by Carols part of the shop to bring her a pretty bouquet and pull her close for a kiss. They lived a simple live yet it was still a nice one where they could enjoy what they wanted.

Bad Ending: Her parents found out about her sneaking off to the Gardener and decided to banish him from the castle... so Carol won’t get distracted by him anymore... she wasn’t even allowed to see Melody anymore or any of her other friends cause of the risk... the practically trapped her in this castle untill she chose a suitor and made up her decision... being a Queen for the kingdom not some run away princess... She often asked castle guards to bring flowers to Rowan but none of them ever reached him.

Alternate Ending: Both of them met in the moonlight... Carol made an offer to Rowan cause she fell for him yet didn’t want this love to come out to date him in secret. She was worried about his sister, her family and her situation... she wanted to be with him yet didn’t have the courage to admit things... Temporarely he agreed yet it made it even worse as her parents chose a suitor for her and she was technically cheating on him with Rowan... Yet still... their love was enough for him to became the Princess lover who did more than the husband her parents chosen for her... at least she wasn’t in a loveless marriage cause she got love from him.

The Sawyer Route (Ruby on Discord)

She already set on running away from her arranged marriage and her kingdom but this time she was also pursued by Yasuno who already wanted her hand no matter what... she wanted to hide away in a cave only to found a huge dragon... as some sunlight dimmed into the cave she found out the dragon transformed back into a human... one that pushed her away telling her to leave this place... yet she refused.. wanting to get to know the stranger. Over the course of trying to talk to him she gets small informations bit by bit... that he was pursued in the past for what he was,that that his name was Sawyer and that he tries to keep people away from this cave just not to be hunted for his dragon scales... The princess forgot about running and more hoped to help him get rid of this curse he was under.

True ending: Reading up on curses Carol finally found a way to break it but for that the act of a true loves kiss would be in order... something that Sawyer deemed as unacheivable.... hearing him say that hurt the princess at first but with his next words she noticed soon that he didn’t fully mean that... he did ask her given she was the only one caring enough of him if she would attempt it... and with a smile she took his hands and nodded... both of their faces growing red... the kiss slowly got him engulfed in a smoke and actually managed to remove the curse symbol off him, both understanding each others feelings a bit better, even if he was still denying it a little... she didn’t want to ask him to go back to her kingdom so instead she proposed if they start a new life together... her getting them a nice house and him slowly getting used to the outside world again. Leading him out the cave he was not even used to the sun anymore.

Yet some years later... they rebuild themselves a own home... a small son was bon that Carol took care of dearly and made sure no witches were around to curse it. Sawyer may still have been not the most affectionate husband but she understood him and he was there for her when she needed him, holding his arms around her as both looked at the kid.

Good Ending: Slowly seeing the princess be stubborn about staying near him and getting a cure for his cursed he asked her somewhat annoyed why she would go through so much lengths for a person she barely knows much... he could lie for all she cares, but she tried to look at him and shake her head... telling him that she still prefer this to being in her castle only as a representative of the kingdom... that she senses which of his words are genuine and that if she left he would just be alone again... she over this time grew to like this life, even if its only the two of them... which he calls foolish of her... yet he slowly moved his hand to touch hers... this was enough for her... he didn’t need to accept her feeling and affections right away... and even if they don’t find a solution for this curse.... she would stay with him...

Fast forward... she build somewhat more of a comfy place in the cave for the both of them... like their own little house... where they could be alone to themselves but be together... a scene plays where she touches his scars with a smile, his face growing red... she still would be his to protect and care for.. the small thing to make this solitude life a bit better.

Bad Ending: She failed to get his trust and in an argument where she just wanted the best for him she said the wrong things and he injured her gravely by accident in his dragon form... problem stood he couldn’t leave the cave or he would be in danger too... the princess tried to run out the cave to get treatment but in the end... dies before reaching town... many assumed it was a random monsters doing and the king and queen griefed for the loss of the princess... vowing a more corrupt rule that would slay any monster in the kingdom if they find it.

Alternate Ending: They didn’t find a way to break the curse so instead the princess made an exchange with the witch... to take that curse off him and onto herself... something he was heavily against yet she didn’t leave him much choice... given the witch already prefered the princess as her target given her status and so Sawyer was able to leave the cave as a simple human... but still had the burden of leaving the princess behind in her dragon form... He noticed the kingdom Carol came from suddenly had a festivity... the Witch took on the princess appearance to fulfill her role... and he could only watch.

Henry and Nauwe route @fullplaidponydreamer

As the princess was thinking about running away she walked down the shores at night... hoping the ocean would hear her calling as she found a blue haired man sitting near the water, she recognized his face while getting close as the prince from the neighbouring kingdom, Henry, yet talking to him revealed to her he was on the run from his kingdom as well, hoping to find a better place, as they both chatted suddenly the water was splite before them and out came a man of the Sea, Nauwe, who offered them both to come to his underwater kingdom to maybe find their answer and a way to bring peace between the land kingdoms and the underwater kingdoms.

True ending: Both Carol and Henry shared in a talk over Dinner with Nauwe about their situations, Carol about her having to marry a suitor to be the kingdoms heir and Henry having to do the same but he was moreso forced upon his suitor... he made the crazy offer of what if they introduced each other as suitors, yet he will be actually their Alliance partner and to get the kingdoms to be combined as Allies, they have to accept and Alliance with the underwater kingdom too. Carol was hesitant and confessed she had feelings for the both of them, as Nauwe smiled at her taking her hand and saying, they never have to know the three are together and they still could be, he could just be an ambassador. In the end the three made and official announcement among the kingdoms and two weddings been held... Carol and Henrys in her kingdom, And a poly marriage in Nauwes kingdom. Carol in a seashell and ocean themed dress held both their hands and stole a kiss from both of them at the altar... and the kingdom cheered for a new era of peace that dawned... Fast forward some years later Carol holds Forsythia in her arms, her first little daughter who already wants to swim around the seas as she for once settles down leaning her head against Nauwe as he layed an arm around her while Henry joined her placing a kiss on her forehead.

Good ending: Telling Nauwe about the surface, the life there got him intrigued as the three discussed a plot to get the kingdoms to work with the Underwater kingdom... Henry and Carol yet knew they didn’t want to return to their respective Kingdoms and be forced into the same situations. And so Nauwe offered them both to stay with him, telling he took a liking to them both and would love if they remain at his side as his advisors... and so Nauwe became some years later the King, Henry his right hand and Carol their Advisor in general. Together the three for now lived in an unofficial relationship as a scene played out where both Henry and Nauwe pulled Carol in a hug looking over the underwater kingdom... focusing on plans how to make it prosper and being caught up in work more than anything.

Bad ending: Carol seems too untrustworthy compared to Henry and given the tension the kingdom already has with humans one soldier framed her for a Crime, Henry who still believed in her and wanted to defend her in the end gets speared by one of the Soldiers of the kingdom, dying in her arms... As she shed her tears, Nauwe told those Soldiers to stop this nonsense yet he couldn’t help much except bringing her back to the surface, letting her return to her kingdom with a somber feelings.

Alternative Ending: Henry and Nauwe don’t come to an agreement and both grow feelings for Carol, fighting among another one day about it as she pulled them apart, telling that she ran away from her kingdom because people were fighting over her. Once again the Soldier misinterpreted this as an attempt of fighting Prince Nauwe and instead this time... Carol got stabbed by them... Henry and Nauwe having to see her both bleed out on the ground... to at least give honor her they set aside their differences they worked together to make this kingdom a better one. Building a statue of her in the square.

Plant Harem ending

Having played Raede and Escas route you get another option in Raedes Route. You have an option to instead of the Potion maker take Raede to Esca as he is a forrest creature, maybe he would have an answer how to provide Raede with his form... and so eventually the three of them had a plan... using the potions of the potion maker combined with magical ingredients to create new plant society... a way to help all the spirits like Esca to actually get a body and be able to life normally... if it works.... Carol snuck into the Potion makers home and took several of them with her on a carriage as the three tried to see which tonics worked... eventually after a night of testing things they finally found a way to get Raedes body to be Stable as well as create more bodies for the Mythical creatures to go into. Time passed and after Several months a plant kingdom has formed... at Carols side Raede, Esca, Kronos, Mars and Jupiter. Assisting the new Queen of the Forrest Kingdom to make this a more peacefull save haven for any half plant people. Even if humans tried to burn down and take over the little kingdom, once her parents found out their princess daughter was leading this place they got support from the kingdom as well, in a deal for trading fresh fruits and Vegetables. She was a queen loved and adored by many yet only her 5 favourites she spoiled each day with all her love, even if she slowly changed more from human to plant as well thanks to all the experiments.

Gaius Route @terrovaniadorm

Taking a break after meeting the suitors the Princess stops by her favourite place, the local scholars academy, she often listened to some lessons in secret and snuck into the library to read books that weren’t in her castle, dressed as a commoner. Gaius who worked their knew about her sneaking in but yet here he found her, sighing in dissapointment on the floor. Offering her a book about history she often loved to read he sat next to her and tried to teach her some stuff. Eventually she stopped by more often between the dates with suitors cause she enjoyed the young scholars company with the excuse to her parents that she would learn a ton of new things there. And so she catched him between lessons to get more and more interested in him.

True ending: The time they spend together Gaius gained as much feelings for the princess as she did for him... and so as her parents put more pressure on her given the suitors he decided to reveal his Identity as a Noblemen and ask her parents if he can also ask for the hand of the Princess. Without question Carol got off the throne and leaped into his arms in happiness and so her parents knew what her answer was... the other suitors left the room dissapointed as Carol was ready to walk around the castle with him... some years later a huge wedding that was extrordinary planned was held in the Kingdom... during the crowning, Carol handed him the first book they read together as a gift, smiling brightly at him as they share a kiss together. Time passed again and you could see how despite them being King and Queen they often visted the Academy, it becoming a core of the city and many of the people of the Kingdom became extrordinary people spreading their knowledge around.... in the courtyard after the lessons Carol took his hand, entertwining fingers with him as they both looked at another with a hopefull smile... proudly at what they accomplished.

Good ending: She slipped a note in his textbook to meet her by the Royal courtyard and in returned showed her around the castles Library. She shares some of her favourite old stories and wanted to thank him for all the teaching he did beside his lessons especially that he did it despite being busy. He told her about how he noticed her sneaking in far earlier than she expected as well as that she was the princess and he was very amused about it as well as admired her for how much she wanted to learn. Hearing this she brought her feelings on the table that she has been often eyeing and admiring him from afar, slowly falling for him and even if he was logical that this relationship might not be beneficial to her she told him that she wanted to have him at her side. Suddenly a knock at the door happened by her father, who just smiled and revealed Gaius was actually also just a noblemen that disguised as Commoner, as well as him accepting that he could be added to the potential suitor candidates. Carol smiled brightly and asked Gaius officially if they could be together. Fast forward to some months where you can see him at her side planning a trip to a far away kingdom with her as she just held his arm and listened to his ideas.

Bad ending: Jealous students make rumors to the king and queen that the Scholar is trying to seduce the young princess for her wealth and in turn Carol gets confined into the castle. She tries to make her escape in hopes for freedom but as a guard finds her she goes in panic and falls off the roof... dying in the courtyard.

Alternative Ending: Her curiousity led her astray... she wandered into a part of the academy about cursed books and god let away by one of them with a green Gem smiling at her... Gaius finds out about this and tries to stop her from opening it yet... the book sucked her inside and so she became one with it. From that day on the princess is said to be vanished and Gaius kept her with him... keeping the book in his shelf only being able to communicate with her via text and trying to find a cure to get her back.

Keisuke Route @sakuramidnight15

At one night after meeting the suitors she couldn’t sleep well... not at all... after all was that it... she was just to be wed off with barely knowing any of the men that were introduced to her... as she thought that she noticed a letter of a poem on her window... she often got such letters and enjoyed reading them yet she never knew who they were from... one note was attached to ask her to meet at the towns fountain... and so the princess chose more common clothes and rushed out of the castle... she met a young boy writing at the fountain who introduced himself as Keisuke and that he wanted to help the princess find her path... and so she followed him to a journey to the enchanted woods... not knowing his intentions yet but curious about what she had to say.

True ending: Similar to the good ending however instead of running away Carol confronts her parents about why Keisukes family was disbanded from the kingdom and genuinely speaks about how she wants him to be her suitor or she won’t accept anyone else. He makes her happy, he brings a smile to her face and she won’t let status get in the way of this. Even if her parents were hesitant they love their daugher and so they accept him as candidate...she also proposed Ideas on how to improve the kingdom thanks to the things her journey taught her as Keisuke promised he would care and protect her smile where he could.... the wedding was a year later combined with the coronation with many improvements in the kingdom settling on bringing stories and tales around to make the peoples life more enjoyable. Carol smiled upon the things they accomplished together, squeezing his hand tight as they watched the spectacle from the gardens and eventually once the other guests were too busy she pulled him away behind a tree for a kiss... thanking him for keeping her life happy this whole time despite the hardships thanks to what he wrote her all the time.

Good Endings: Following the path of the Forrest he revealed that he previously was someone working in the palace and she remembered him, as both were younger there was a boy who often lurked in the library as the son of one of the servants back then... however his family got disbanded from the castle and he still wanted to keep contact with the princess hence he wrote her those poems.... with a bright smile Carols memory returned as she felt happy that he found her again cause she got really attached to him... Seeing the end of the forrest she asked him if they couldn’t just move away together and stay with another.... after all she knew her parents might not accept him and she cares about him far more than any of the suitors introduced to her... he agreed as both of them walked off hand in hand together... in the future they both managed a book store together handing their favourite stories to customers as She leaned her head on his shoudler with a smile, handing him a small poem she wrote herself to keep up the old tradition.

Bad ending: Turns out that her whole meeting with him was just a dream... nothing more than a wacky wonderland she dreamed up... as she checked her table all the poems have vanished... worse though an injury she got in wonderland followed her here... was it truely a dream or not... eitherway she lost her way... either way there was no saving her... she felt somewhat darkness sink into her... and so the princess neither cared who her parents chose... as long as she could fullfill her role.

Alternative ending:

The forrest led them to a huge apple tree... the apple glowed far more than the ones back in her kingdom... Keisuke and her took a rest under it...however one bite of the apple left her to drift into sleep. Both woke up on a different plain of existence... something of a world that seemed almost like a fairy tale... however was it right to abandon her own kingdom for this world... maybe it would make her happier... Keisuke tried to get her out of these delusions but failed... and so the princess became part of this other world.

A Kingdoms trio Route

Aside James who you got to know in the main story, You will get introduced to Metaron who is a knights commandant and often trains with him and Elias who served as butler the family for years... both also in turne have a particular close connection with the princess yet they also worry about what burdens her... at night she sat down the garden in thought as she noticed Metaron and James spar talking about a exploration the knights will do soon. The next day she snuck in a knight costume between them to join this adventure... throughout the route she will get closer with James, Metaron and Elias... however on the night of the trip they find out already that the princess pretended to be a knight and worried about her... Even if it meant trouble the three tried to keep it a secret from the other knights yet it leads to much tension at night given only they can see the Princess how she usually looks as well as tend to the wounds she got from fights. Basically its very similar to Mulan.

True ending: Elias reveals that he lied about one thing and that is his true identity... he actually was a prince formerly as well that ran away from his own kingdom similar in a situation as Carol he was to be wed... as they all shared some secrets Carol was more honest about her feelings about them, saying that she wished she could be with all of them forever.... and so the plan they agreed on was that Elias and Carol were about to be wed for Suitors but in secret Carol would be with Metaron and James as well... to keep things easier as she can still take care of the kingdom they all grew up with as well as keep staying together. She agreed on these terms, feeling happy she could return to the kingdom finally with a solution to her lonelyness... The wedding was held among a bed of white flowers yet after the ceremony she snuck away to meet her other partners in their suits and held them closer giving each of them a kiss...she wanted to change the kingdom, make it better for people who seek shelter, make it possible to not be forced into things and decide who you love... she wanted to build it up with them together... and she was determined.

Good ending: One night she stayed in a tent with the three, genuinely talking about her concern about the future... does she want to become queen or does she want to travel instead.... she always appreciated them all around her but... currently she felt lonely with them leaving hence she wanted to join their trip. Hesitantly James asked if she had plans about her suitor situation in which she told him she wish she could just run away from it... if her new partner isn’t as good as they were to her she doesn’t want to be with him... she covered her mouth cause she admitted she had something for all of them yet as she saw them smiling she was confused. The idea came to stage a fake midnight attack where all of them left away their armor and ran away to the next town... the plan worked, the princess seemed like she vanished to the kingdom and they settled away from all the troubles... a bit into the future you see Carol life together with her three partners, James became a fencing tutor, Metaron a mercenary and Elias helped her take care of a small curiousity shop as they all held her close... having their princess safe and in a life she could be more free in.

Bad ending: She can’t keep up her cover however that isn’t the worse problem... knowing the princess is alone away from the kingdom some knights tried to betray the others in favour of the neighbouring kingdom he wanted to claim her. Metaron and James try to get her out of the clutches of the enemy but one taller soldier smacked them both down and Elias couldn’t do much but hide... he healed their wounds after yet also felt dissapointed that they lost the princess to their enemy.

Alternative Ending:

Again she can’t keep up acting like a Knight but instead Metaron and James are send to return her back to the kingdom... Elias walking behind them... she begs for them to let her run away but they can’t help but obey... yet something still pains seeing the princess locked away in her room to think for herself... was it even worth protecting a caged bird that can never be free and happy. James often heard her crying in her room, Elias barely saw her touch her food and Metaron could barely see her at all anymore... it felt like the distance grew further away.

Adenia Route @luvkamishiro

Noticing the princess needed some cheering up after the whole situation with her Suitors, her parents invited a entertainment troupe into the Castle and seeing their shows she somewhat was capitivated by Adenias charm and how much fun the group had in general with the performances and the music.... as they packed things to leave again she asked about the entertainer life and the next day snuck out the castle to follow the troupe. At first Adenia was worried about the princess running away from her kingdom but admiring her will of freedom and her hopes to become like them too, he allowed her to stay with them as a cover and learn to perform as well.

True ending: Even if she loved performing she knew the troubles with money and everything for the troupe, how flimsy it was... and so combined with her feelings and love she gained for this place, she made a suggestion to Adenia, if he would like the be with her and maybe with the help of the kingdom they could support the troupe for as long as they could... they could use the kingdom to put smiles on so many people faces together... hesitantly she wanted to show him she wanted to stick with him... he said he needed some time to get to know her more but once he did they would return to the kingdom together. Fast forward of a small colorful wedding back in the castle a bunch of commoners, performers and people from all kinds of wealth classes relaxed in the castle having a good day as Carol and Adenia looked over all the fun they are having... this truely was a kingdom blossoming into something better thanks to them both... she laughed seeing how much chaos it was and yet, holding his arm and seeing it all... she finally felt relieved that she in itself made this decision herself, not guided by her parents.

Good ending: She was sucessful at keeping her cover, not only that, dancing during a performance with Adenia made her realize far more that she wanted to be with him... this runaway life was truely the freedom she seeked for... and so later as they both celebrated together she asked him what he would think of her. Even if he was worried at first given her status she convinced him that his is what she truely wants. And so he agreed to stay loyal to her, keep her safe and continue traveling with her doing these performances. Time past and some months later they both also took care of some orphaned kids of other towns and showed them the wonders and happiness their performances could bring. Smiling together, laughing together even if not every town they went through was so happy.

Bad ending: Many of the other performers were not convinced of the princess and one of the visitors recognized her, however instead of reporting her to the king and queen at night the princess was taken away from the troupe, kidnapped to another kingdom, instead peopel treated her horrible, throwing tomatoes at her and mocking the rivaling kingdom... and she had to endure this misery.

Alternative ending: The princess was allowed to make food for the performers yet it almost seemed like she made their stomachs messed up by accident, messing it up. The show had the be canceled and even if Adenia tried to keep her, he was overvoted to say goodbye to the princess... as she walked back alone to her castle.

Noriko Route @terrovaniadorm

Feeling like taking a break from the whole search for Suitors she asked her father to join a recent court session about a thief who tried to steal a kingdoms artifact... joining the session next to her family especially the Judge and the one convicted caught her attention, curious about reasonings and how the case went... you have two options during the trial... one to defend the convicted given his story was that he stole out of a solid reason which would lead you to the Worrick route or be on the side of the Judge Noriko and agree with that the convicted deserves a punishment. Agreeing leads to Carol getting more curious about the system and wanting to watch some more cases which lead to her hanging a lot with Noriko in their office and getting know them as well as why they chose this path of Justice. However it won’t be always that clear what is wrong or right.

True Ending: One case that Carol dug up again was special to Noriko's past and so she used her influence working to help out to slowly find out the truth about this case…seeing her work day and Night he watched out for her and eventually Carol found something crucial… the case Was put to trial again, King and queen confused about the happenings and why their daughter was also standing aside the Judge bringing arguments but seeing her bring up all she found and the effort she put into it… her parents are more proud… after a celebration however Noriko was so full of relief that the past was settled. The princess thanked for instructions and help yet was surprised as he got on his knee… vowing endless loyalty to her… a bit taken aback she still confessed she had feelings for him for a while… and so both agreed to stick together for now and eventually the princess wanted to have them as their suitor. Time passed and eventually both had a pretty wedding among blue and white flowers… thanks to Noriko's previous experiences the kingdom reformed a little in its Justice system… keeping the Crime rate far Lower than before. Calmly the princess took his hand before stealing a Kiss looking full of trust onto the horizon. She trusted his promise… that he would keep her Safe till the end..

Good Ending: Spending more time and helping out solving some cases Noriko somewhat got respect for the princess but also worried cause she been neglecting her other duties... one night they spoke up about it and Carols head looked down...She didn’t want to admit she was running away... after all it is important one day she would lead the kingdom to a better future but.. the whole searching for a suitor was too early for her... Both of them brainstormed through the law about means how to get around this arranged search for a partner... and once they finished working the whole night on that plan Carol finally felt at ease... she would finally be free... yet something still bothered her... Even if she had more time to find a partner.... what if she already found someone she is interested in.... looking at Noriko in curiousity. The next day they tried to bring their plan to court... so that Carol could take her parents role when the time is right but... after the sucess of it she asked Noriko to come to the gardens with her... telling her true feelings out in the open... They were hesitant.... mainly cause she was Royalty and they were a simple judge but the determined look made them at least promise her... promise to be at her side and see how it goes. Fast forward and you can see the kingdom prosper in a more democracy way of the kingdom with Carol having Noriko as asssistant to help her out with the reform of the system... holding his hand and smiling brightly at him... it seems this new way the kingdom was going meant less pressure... and a future full of surprises.

Bad Ending: The king and queen noticed Carol being away from her actual goal and just trying to escape her responsibilities by hanging with Noriko and so they seperated her from him and made her force her decision for a suitor... she managed to convince her parents to put it under a trial but lacking a deep enough bond with Noriko they also decided against her and so she was instead forced upon a suitor she might have not agreed on. Living unhappy with her new husband... looking back to the court missing the old days.

Alternative Ending: One night as Noriko wanted to share some thoughts with the princess but on their way they got enchanted by a infamous witch among the kingdom... Miss Vic. This witch manipulated them like a puppet to pin a crime on the princess itself and in court fabricate evidence to convict her... all a scheme to slowly take over the kingdom itself and despite Carols pleas to listen to her that he is not himself right now... her parents looked away in shame and after her being thrown into prison like the previous trials... the witch took over and made this Kingdom still a beautifull blossoming kingdom... but under ruthless reign.

Takeda and Nanoya Route @forestwispocs

At one night the Princess snuck out of the castle following a letter that promised her a way out of the situation.... in the end it was just the plot of someone to knock her out and kidnap her... she woke up on and unknown boat and as she reached the land she noticed a much more Eastern Village... not knowing where she landed... her clothing was also changed... she found out that she looked similar to a princess from this country and they wanted to use her to replace the current princess... however as she sat down in a prison of the enemies two samurai looking guys helped her broke out and try to flee, preventing this scheme...they introduced themselves as Nanoya and Takeda... and among their side they planned a way to get her home as well as to survive this ordeal.

Takeda Ending: Among a split path one of the two Samurais had to sacrefice their life to let the other two escape... depending on choice this is where you decide who will be happy with the princess... Choosing Takeda, Nanoya will have a last stand with the enemy while Takeda and her escape on a boat back to her kingdom... she started crying in Takedas arms... she didn’t want to cause all this pain and death that stained their path, she only got dragged into this... yet he promised from now on he will protect her from the pain...Carol guided them in the right direction to land... before they arrived at the kingdom the two camped before it, resting their mind and thinking about Nanoyas sacrefice... Carol leaned onto Takedas shoulders apoligizing for causing the loss of his old friend but Takeda said there is some things worth fighting for and over time this became from a mission to protect someone they both held dearly... something that made her happy to hear but hurt her heart... She promised in return she would try to use her influence to bring peace to their land and expose the machinations and so the two hugged before going to sleep.

Fast forward Carol signed a contract with the former emperor of the kingdom while the enemy soldiers got arrested, Takeda became her personal bodyguard but there was more to it, given her parents gave her the blessing to marry him one day... both wearing rings as he held her hand after the ceremony... there was still a lot to do but they would do it together.

Nanoya Ending: Choosing to Sacrefice Takeda, he will use his sword skills to carve a way to the boat and push them both into safety, the last thing they see is him getting sliced by a sword in the stomach as Carol cried out for him... Silence dwelled as they got let accross Seas... Nanoya tried to give her comfort but she just felt guilt and sorrow well up... to calm her he put a blanket around her and sat back to back telling some old childhood stories of a former noble friend...remembering this instead of going to Carols kingdom they took a stop at count Deradelles Village, and plotted Revenge... one last thing they had to do before having peace and bringing Nanoyas land to a calm time... and enacting thier plans they manage to whipe out most of the enemies who caused this sorrow yet... Carol still was silent and worried about the future.... one night Nanoya joined sitting on the bed next to her and she was surprised by a hug given his previous fear... clinging onto him and sobbing as he promised he would make sure her future would be better.

Both of them married years later... Nanoya making an alliance with Flynns kingdom for Protection... Carol kept a necklace Takeda gave her around her neck in memory as they both honored their fallen friend with his sword stuck in his grave... Holding each others hand letting the emotions out.

Bad Ending: Among Carol talking to Local villagers who missed their princess and worrying about Takeda and Nanoya getting hurt... she decided to go along with the enemies plan in exchange for their safety... they used her as a puppet to control the land and manipulated it in their favour while Takeda and Nanoya layed down their swords after being striped of their titles... the previous Kingdom griefed about the lost princess not knowing she was used to put another land into dissoray...

Alternative Ending: It turned out as Carols head got knocked out this whole ordeal was a fever dream and she been in a coma for weeks after reading too many Samurai books... guess she could only dream of such an adventure and had to accept reality.
