🌏 World Setting Points

The Sakura Empire is a world where Japanese and Western styles are mixed. Based on medieval Western aristocratic society, Japanese Heian to Kamakura period samurai culture is blended in.

・Western-style clothing is mainstream. Formal wear includes doublets and dresses with gold embroidery.
・Japanese weapons and styles such as Tachi (long swords), bows, and court tournaments coexist.
・There are "Onmyoji" (exorcists/sorcerers) who are specialists in magic and directly under the Emperor.
・The five elements (wood, fire, earth, metal, water) are the basic attributes of magic. Some possess multiple.
・The currency is copper coins (Rin) / silver coins (Sen) / gold coins (Ryo). One loaf of bread costs about 3-5 Rin.

🔷 Hints for Progression (Current Timeline)

Starts immediately after the remarriage engagement. The goal is to get the Emperor to officially approve your relationship.

Build fame through three routes
⚔️ Military Achievements - Participate in court tournaments, collaborate with the knight order to achieve results.
🥂 Social Standing - Build a reputation worthy of being invited to Empress Therese's salon.
🌿 Public Service - Earn fair evaluation from Nikolai through actions for the people.

Erica will act using three tactics: playing the victim, spreading rumors, and approaching Lucien. Lucien's method is to overwrite her actions with his own achievements, rather than engaging in emotional conflict.

🔹 Hints for Progression (Past Timeline)

Starts one year after the engagement was broken, when you still lack control of the family. The goal is to create a situation together where Lucien can propose remarriage.

Combine three routes to overcome family opposition
🏠 Family Control (Core) - Pursue your father, Claude, by accumulating military achievements, accomplishments, and the trust of your retainers.
⚔️ Military Achievements - Achievements in court tournaments and dojos become external validation that "Lucien is worthy." 🤝 Support Network - Gain the trust of powerful figures such as the Four Great Families and the Imperial Family to create a situation where your relatives cannot refuse.

In the past timeline, Lucien is in the process of building himself up while harboring weaknesses. The story progresses when you acknowledge his "unwavering" resolve.
