Romance Option Guide
(Some dialogue branches provide no points and have been excluded from the list, so choose anything for those conversations)
Also, I’ve added the overall percentages for some of the ROs, however, you’ll notice that if you add up the points per option provided it won’t equate to the total…yeah not sure what’s up with that but I’ve been checking the stats after every choice, so all I can assume is that it’s choices outside of direct interaction that can also affect them or a bug. The highest you can get is 75% with certain characters.
Xavier RO Route
(This guide is written for players who let Xavier escape, however keeping him captive will still allow you to romance him with a high score, just choose the obvious responses towards him!)
“We’re glad to meet you too!” (Either one) +1%
“I like your hair” / “I hope our alliance stays strong” +1%
“I will set you free someday” / “I’m sorry for what they’re doing to you” +1%
“I wanted to see you” +1%
“Because I care about you” +2%
Take care of him +4%
“Yes.” +1%
“I do too.”
“Because of what he has done to you” +3%
“You look good.” You place a hand on his cheek/shoulder. +3%
“Why are you staring at the castle walls?”
“I believe you.” +3%
Defend him +3%
“He’s innocent!” +2%
“Yes, I do” +3%
“I accept” (to marrying Xavier) has no effect but I’d suggest doing it for Book 2.
75% in total
Jarean RO Route
“I love it, Jarean” +1% (any compliment has the same effect)

Daemir RO Route
“I like the design of your armour”
“Where are your manners, my lord?”
“I see no reason to flatter you”

“People or you?”
“Daemir, you stay”
“I want you to be near me” +1
(I feel like you get bonus points for marrying Richard off as there’s an extra convo, but I didn’t want to re-do everything for that one scene just to check).
Highest I’ve gotten with him was 65-67%.

Any dialogue after the above gives no points
“I’m certain Richard will take you with him.” (Don’t say you’ll take her otherwise it starts the rivalry with Richard)
It doesn’t matter whether you say you like girls or like Clara – it won’t affect the possibility of romance with her.

“It’s such a tragedy” +1%
“Do you ever leave the stable?” You smile at her. +1%

“Let’s mimic them”
“Careful, if you start bullying her, you will leave this castle” +2%
Hug her +1%

67% (you’ll get a higher percentage if you do scenes that bump up the rivalry between you and Richard)
Lena RO Route
Become the ruler and accept her proposition/choose to marry her when prompted.
She will NOT accept any deal with you unless you are the King/Queen.
(If you let Xavier go)
“Because no one deserves to pay for their father’s mistakes” +1%
“I accept” (to marrying Xavier) +0% / “How about I marry you instead?” +0%
The Clara route should happen naturally if you’re nice to her, but the way I’ve written the guide is for if you want to maintain a good relationship with Richard (keep in mind to not be a dick to him in general outside of the Clara dialogue). You will miss out on some interactions with her, but it will not at all affect her romance path with you, so don’t worry. If you DO want to antagonise him, treat him poorly and do the interactions not mentioned here.
Daemir, Reyna and Astryn will ONLY be available if you don’t have feelings for anyone else. So when you are prompted to answer how you feel about each character, you can’t say you like anyone else otherwise they will be greyed out and the RO path is broken.
Regarding Poly Routes
Xavier and Jarean are the same as their info above. You just need to make sure you say you have feelings for both of them when asked about how you feel towards each character.
Xavier and Clara are the same as above.
Clara and Lena will happen in Book 2 so long as you say you have feelings for Clara and accept Lena’s marriage proposition (you need to be King/Queen for this).
There IS a poly route for Daemir, however it’s purely political and you can’t have feelings for either Xavier or Lena. So you have to state that Daemir is the only one you love and then afterwards accept Lena’s proposition to marry her or Xavier. Daemir is fine with it so long as it’s only for political reasons.
Clara and Jarean or Jarean and Lena work the same way as the other poly routes (you can have feelings for both of them). However, this isn’t a triad relationship and both characters won’t fall in love with each other. So it’s a poly relationship similar to Charles’ relationship with both your mother and Isabella (except they don’t hate each other lol)
(I will make a Part 2 for this when Book 2 comes out and will also include the new pirate RO as an option).
