Lyle Route
The Royal Capital prison-visit loop and its hidden NTR meter.
The capital26 scenesUpdated 2026-09-03
This guide covers the Royal Capital arc where Lilian is jailed and the imprisoned knight Lyle shares the cell block. It runs after you reach the Royal Capital by any route (Merchant, Blacksmith, or Wyvern). Its scenes are the "Prison" recollections and the three final-battle endings.
We checked every step below against the game's own event data. The flag numbers in italics (for example, var #109) are the internal game flags. You do not need them to play. We list them so you can verify the route, and so advanced readers can cross-check it.
Main characters
| Name | Role |
|---|---|
| Kaius | The player character |
| Lilian | The heroine; jailed on a framed charge |
| Lyle | An imprisoned knight ("Blondie") in the same cell block |
| The Minister | An elderly royal official who orders Lilian moved to the lower block |
| Mireia | The knight-commander in charge of palace defence |
Part 1 — Entering the Arc
When you arrive at the Royal Capital, an assassin has attacked the throne room, and guards arrest Lilian as a suspected accomplice. She is held in the Royal Prison, and the Minister has her moved down to Prison Underground 2F, where Lyle is also held.
You are free in the city. Each day you can:
- go to the prison and visit Lilian's cell (
Map 153Prison Underground 2F, event 2), - work jobs, run errands, and try to raise the huge ransom,
- rest, which moves the day counter forward (var #122).
The travelling fortune teller from the Crystal Ball story sits in the Tavern (Map 156,
event 12). Talk to her once for a free 150 gold toward the ransom and a Guild follow-up
(switch #286).
Part 2 — The Prison-Visit Loop
This is the core system of the route. It decides how many Lyle scenes you see and which ending you reach.
The NTR meter
Each day, a hidden meter (var #109, "NTR progress", updated by Common Event #33) rises
based on:
| Cause | Effect on the meter |
|---|---|
| Base, every day | +3 |
| Lilian's lewdness tier (var #108) | +2 / +5 / +8 for tier 1 / 2 / 3+ |
| Lyle's "advance count" (var #110) | +3 per step, up to +15 |
| Days in a row without visiting (var #136) | +3 / +6 / +9 for 1 / 2 / 3+ days |
| Visiting the cell that day (var #134) | −2 |
When the meter passes the next threshold, the game queues the next scene (var #128, switches #345–#352). The queued scene then plays the next time you enter the cell.
Once the arc resolves — the ransom is paid (switch #359), you leave on Lyle's route (switch #369), or the three routes converge (switch #372) — the daily settlement stops. The meter and the daily affinity loss freeze from that point.
The two directions
- Pure-love direction: visit every day, keep Lilian's lewdness low, and take the
pinky-promise option in her cell (sets switch #310). This keeps the meter down. You
see few or no Prison scenes, and you unlock "The Promised Memory" (
Common Event #45). - Corruption direction: skip visits and let Lilian's lewdness rise. The meter climbs fast, and you see all eight Prison scenes and their side scenes.
The eight Prison scenes
All play at Map 153 (Prison Underground 2F), event 2. Each needs switch #316 (NTR event
happened) plus its own queue switch, and each fires the next time you visit after the meter
queues it.
| Scene | CG | Page | Gate switch | Queue switch |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1-1 Prison 1: Embrace | h1_9_001 |

| 1-6 Prison 6 | h1_13_024 |
11 | #980 | #350 |
| 1-7 Prison 7 | h1_14_005 |
13 | #981 | #351 |
| 1-8 Prison 8 (Lilian's viewpoint) | h3_24_001 |
14 | #982 | #352 |
Side scenes
Completing each Prison visit also unlocks a "Side Scene" in the Recollection Room, a short extra view of the same scene. These use the same gate switches (#975–#982) and the h1_12 series of CGs.

During the arc the Crystal Ball also shows visions of Lilian alone in the cell:
- "Compensation for the Legs" (clothed / nude) — CG
h3_20_001/h3_21_001, switches #1020 / #1019. - "Toying with the Chest" — CG
h1_26_001, switch #1028. - "Fingers From Behind" — CG
h3_19_001, switch #1027.
Part 3 — After the Prison
Once the prison story ends, guards release Lilian, and the arc moves through the city.
Scene 1-9 — "The Next Room, Late at Night"
CG h1_15_005 · gate switch #983.
- Event:
Map 160(Tavern 2F), event 1. After the prison story, stay the night on the tavern's upper floor and listen at the door of the next room.
Scene 1-10 — "In the Unconscious Dream"
CG h1_17_003 · gate switch #984.
- Event:
Map 197(Coach Inn 1F Story Dream), event 3. Use the teleport circle from the Valor's Keep to the Royal Capital; the dream plays on the way.
Scene 1-11 — "The Hidden Hand"
CG h1_18_013 · gate switch #985.
- Event:
Map 224(Underground Passage 8), event 4. Lyle leads you and Lilian out through the underground passage; the scene plays along the way. - Leaving this way sets switch #369 (left on Lyle's route) and puts Lyle in your party.
With Lyle along, the City Hall teleport circle (
Map 164) skips the queue, and the guards wave you through. This path closes the Wyvern true ending. Pay the ransom instead if you want that ending.
Scene 1-12 — "Lilian Behind the Door"
CG h1_22_006 · gate switch #986.
- Event:
Map 215(Inn 2F, Night), event 2. Back from the palace, return to the Royal Capital inn's upper floor and examine the door of Lilian's room.
Part 4 — The Final Battle (Rear Garden)
The arc ends with a fight against Lyle in the Royal Capital rear garden (Map 229). A
single switch sets which of the three endings you get, before the fight begins:
| Ending switch | Scene | Requirements |
|---|---|---|
| #319 — Pure-love ending | 1-14 Final Battle (Pure Love) (#988) | switch #275 (two-person pure love) and switch #276 (Summit pure love) on, and switch #384 and switch #373 both OFF (you did not commit to the Lyle line) |
| #320 — Normal ending | 1-13 Final Battle (Normal) (#987) | Pure-love flags not fully met |
| #321 — Bad ending | 1-15 Forced Loss and Humiliation (#989) | The corruption path |
The battle itself resolves after 21 attacks (var #147). All three endings share the
h1_21_xxx execution cutscene art. Switch #400 (Final Battle) gates the fight's event
pages.
Show CG codes
h1_21_001To reach the True Ending from here: visit Lilian every day, keep her lewdness low, take the pinky-promise option, keep the two "pure love" flags (from the shared route and the Summit), and pay the ransom rather than leaving on Lyle's route.
The pure-love resolution at Map 229 and the Map 337–339 battle scenes checks
switch #275 and switch #276 on, and switch #384 (Royal Capital Lyle line) and
switch #373 (Lyle absent) both off. No ending branch reads Kaius's Power. If you choose to wait for Lyle
in the Rear City on Royal Capital Day 2, this sets switch #384 and closes the
Wyvern true ending.
