Kogado Studio·Degica Games· June 10, 2006· Main Game

Diplomatic queen simulation + medieval fantasy romance. As the sole heiress to the late king, you must show that you have what it takes to rule the kingdom. Or perhaps you'd prefer to take one of your nobles as a consort?

Released 10 June 2006 for PC (Microsoft Windows) and PlayStation 2 by Kogado Studio, published by Degica Games. Rated B by CERO.

Story

The player acts as the young princess of a kingdom who never expected to ascend to the throne. In the last year, her father died, and her older brother went missing. During the coronation ceremony, some of the leaders of the 12 provinces in the kingdom say they don't believe she can lead the country, and refuse to give their allegiance.

The aim of the game is to win over enough leaders over a year to be accepted as the kingdom's ruler. This can be accomplished through different ways, including sending gifts, having your knights challenge the leaders to jousting competitions, and trying to assassinate them. You must also keep your kingdom fairly prosperous and quell civil disturbances and unrest.

While doing this, you can also 'romance' characters, including the 12 leaders and your knights.
