As you well know, I like collecting older issues of B's Log. As I'm still relatively a novice in terms of Otome Games (I've been playing for a little over a year now! My first game was Tokimeki Memorial Girl's Side 1st Love...which I got at the end of March 2007 *hearts*) and so I figure reading old mags gives me a little more insight into things...and then I get to find out about neat games that aren't really advertised anymore because they're not new.

So while paging though the May 2005 issue of B's Log I found out about "Glamourous Knight"! The characters are wearing Arabic looking clothing and are gorgeous! From this page:

I found out that it was scheduled to be released in winter ~ spring of 2007. It wasn't. What happened to it? So I searched harder and found this on their cell site:

It's from 5.24.2006 and gives more information about the game!

The Story

Zakuro and Makuru have continued to battle over a long period of over a 1000 years.

Zakuro lost the battle and to seal the peace agreement, the young King of Makuru, Van, selected not the Queen of Zakuro, who was said to be a peerless beauty, but Verunei, her newborn prince. There was opposition at Van's adoption of Verunei, but Van created a palace in the middle of the desert for Verunei. There Van, who found peace living there quietly with his son, lovingly taught his son the arts of war and wisdom. Verunei, too, loved Vaan and the two's relationship become one that was more than parent and child.

However things began to fall apart when Vaan had to marry a fourth wife, Isadora Neferuteesu due to a political agreement. Isadora noticed Vaan's special love for Verunei and she brims with hatred at the site of Verunei's passionate red eyes. This was because it was Vernunei's mother who killed Isadora's beloved elder half brother.

Isadora pledges revenge and comes up with a terrifying plan to trick Verunei. However, though she hates him, somewhere in her heart she is also enamoured of the isolated and beautiful boy.

Verunei is slandered as "the Devil that lives in the desert," "the dark prince", etc. by society because of the lies Isadora spreads. He became a terrifying legend to even the people who had known nothing of him prior.

Eriaade, a merchant's son from the neutral kingdom of Kurisokoora, hears this legend and visits the castle in the desert with curiousity and treachery. Eriaade fills his hands with mountains of books and jewelry...and plans to use Verunei, but instead finds himself pitying the prince who lives such a lonely life and doesn't know anything about the world on the other side of the desert. He realizes that Verunei isn't a devil but just a boy and tries to strike a friendship.

The drama between Verunei, his lover the King of Makuru, his firend Eriaade, the aide Zaza and Isadora who loves and hates him, unfolds in the castle in the desert.
