Description
Siegwald Fitzenhagen, crown prince of the Fitzenhagen Kingdom and student body president at the Royal Academy of Magic, embodies the ideal prince archetype through his earnest and kind demeanor. He is engaged to Lieselotte Riefenstahl, a high-ranking noblewoman whose tsundere personality and inability to express her feelings honestly lead Siegwald to misinterpret her harsh exterior, initially causing him to question her devotion within the original game narrative. Her deep affection remains masked behind aloof or critical behavior.
A unique facet of Siegwald involves his unexpected ability to hear the live commentary of Aoto Endo and Shihono Kobayashi, two students from the real world playing the otome game "Love Me Magically" (also called "Magikoi"). He interprets their voices as divine guidance from Lirenna, the goddess of light, and reveres their words as absolute truth. This communication provides crucial insights into Lieselotte's genuine emotions, transforming his perception. Guided by Endo and Kobayashi's analyses, he learns to recognize her tsundere tendencies as expressions of love, fundamentally altering their interactions.
Throughout the story, Siegwald actively applies the commentators' advice to bridge the emotional gap with Lieselotte, demonstrating patience and determination. His efforts avert her original tragic fate, where unresolved insecurities would lead to possession by the Witch of Yore and death. By affirming his commitment and openly addressing her fears, he helps her develop healthier communication and self-assurance, salvaging their engagement and fostering her emotional growth.
Siegwald's influence extends further. Learning of Fiene's significance from the commentators, he supports her academy integration and later helps uncover her true lineage as the daughter of August Riefenstahl, Lieselotte's uncle. This revelation establishes Fiene as Lieselotte's cousin and a Riefenstahl family member, leading Siegwald to facilitate her formal adoption. He similarly aids others, like guiding Fabian Oldenburg toward age-appropriate resolutions. As a listener to the "gods," Siegwald preempts conflicts orchestrated by antagonists like the Witch of Yore and the evil god Kuon, ensuring kingdom stability.
His development emphasizes unwavering dedication to Lieselotte and the kingdom's well-being. Driven by innate kindness and duty, he protects those around him, including Fiene and Baldur Riefenstahl. Heeding the commentators' insights transforms him from a passive game character bound by predetermined routes into an active agent of change who defies tragic outcomes. His actions culminate in Lieselotte overcoming her insecurities, Fiene finding familial belonging, and external threats being neutralized, solidifying his role as a unifying figure.
