Hanako relased an update that would allow us to play some special content that was currently in beta. This included patching in some new storylines, different endings, some more skill checks, ect. BASICALLY she gave us a free expansion pack to Long Live the Queen. So let's all give her some applause!

Ok, so i will link to her announcement right here: http://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/app/251990

You can see the news she posted herself but the reason why it's mentioned in this guide in particular is because she also added some new material related to Talarist's character revolved around whether or not you chose to marry him during week 5 when you recieve the betrothal necklace. As well as a mystery revolving around him involving Adair's assasination .

You can only access this new Beta content by turning the Beta on. Go into your game library, right click on Long Live the Queen and click 'properties' on the little menu that will pop up. When that menu opens up, go to the beta tab and there should be a drop down menu on that page, click on that and select beta. There is no code neccessary because Hanako is awesome.
Once you access that Beta content your game will automatically go into Beta mode (no restarts or reinstalls neccessary). Start up the game and everything will be there, even if you load an old save (though depending on what point you saved at in your old saves, you may or may not be able to access the beta content due to dates in the game's storyline).

The game is now out of Beta and this route and all of the other beta content is now officially apart of the game! LONG LIVE THE QUEEN AND HANAKO!

We're going to take somewhat of an evil route. Elodie needs to be cruel as well as clever to get through this alive. You'll have to raise your intrigue and Lumen skills in order to succeed and you can figure out for yourself what Talarist is actually up to. I've only played this route myself as a Lumen so unlike my previous guide i have no non-magic route. But maybe that's something for the future if you guys want it.

Here we find out that Adair has been assasinated on his grandfather's estate. Since we already mastered our intrigue we get the following dialouge:

Elodie, Crown Princess: (The Earl of Ishtar's first wife and oldest daughter also died under mysterious circumstances.)
Elodie, Crown Princess: (Officially, an accident, but there were rumors it was agents from Talasse.)
Elodie, Crown Princess: (Then his other daughter married young and died giving birth to Adair.)
Elodie, Crown Princess: (With Adair dead, the only family he has left is his second wife and their son Connor, who's fifteen.)

Now make the decision to Blame Talasse!

Elodie, Crown Princess: Talasse is moving against us, aren't they?
Elodie, Crown Princess: We have to protect our border. Send some soldiers west in case Talasse tries to invade.
Joslyn, King Dowager, Duke of Caloris: A battalion will set out at once.
Joslyn, King Dowager, Duke of Caloris: Then there is the matter of the duchy of Elath.
Joslyn, King Dowager, Duke of Caloris: By blood, the nearest living heir is Talarist, the Duke of Sedna.... in Talasse.
Elodie, Crown Princess: (A long time ago there were marriages between the leaders of Elath and Sedna. That's his ancestry.)
Elodie, Crown Princess: (But the people of Elath did not want a Duke of foreign blood. There were revolts.)
Elodie, Crown Princess: (The title of Duke of Elath was passed to a distant relative instead of Talarist's ancestor.)
Joslyn, King Dowager, Duke of Caloris: Elath is a major duchy. You cannot afford to lose control of it.

Now Name a Novan heir*

Elodie, Crown Princess: (Hmm. There are a few noble families with a lot of children, too many to inherit all the existing titles.)
Elodie, Crown Princess: (Arisse, the Duchess of Lillah, has six children. The oldest three all have lands already.)
Elodie, Crown Princess: (That's Kevan, the Earl of Io, Corisande, the Duchess of Mead, and Charmion, the Duchess-Consort of Kigal.)
Elodie, Crown Princess: (That leaves three others who are all a few years older than me.)
Elodie, Crown Princess: (The Duke and Duchess of Kigal have seven children, three around my age and four younger.)
Elodie, Crown Princess: (And they're all Arisse's grandchildren through their mother. So either way, it would be her line.)

Choose A random commoner!

HOORAY YOU SURVIVED LONG ENOUGH TO BECOME QUEEN

the little astrik... Time to explain him!

*The reason i made the decision to 'name a Novan heir' was because i went into this playthrough with a mindset to piss of Talarist as much as possible. And as such, what better f-you than to give land that belonged to his ancestor to some random Novan commoner?!

Now i don't know how choosing any of the other choices would effect the ending, that is certainly a possibility to test in the future and feel free to share your little experiments if you decide to test it out yourself.

This section doesn't mean much, but if you want to read it go right ahead, it contains the epilouge at the end of your game

Tensions remained high between Nova and Talasse. After his initial attempt to claim his 'birthright' was driven back, the Duke of Sedna did not attempt to invade again, but he did institute new policies that made life difficult for traders crossing the border. At the same time, there was a marked increase in raiders and sneak-thieves throughout the area.
Officially, there was peace, but clearly someone was up to no good.
In order to calm the border dispute, Elodie proposed marriage to Talarist, Duke of Sedna, and was accepted.
Once they were married, Elodie was able to indulge in a point of curiosity by asking her new husband just what had happened to young Adair.
Talarist swore he knew nothing about it - that he would never hurt a child, and any agents involved were not operating under his orders. He was an opportunist, not an assassin.
Elodie found this apparent lack of ruthlessness somewhat disappointing.
Elodie's interest in military strategy led her to treat country management as something of a game - a game that she intended to win.
That meant expanding the borders. Nova had been an empire once, and it could be again!
The people of Nova learned to fear their queen, who ruled with a wicked whimsy. Anyone who dared to displease her might be whipped, or beheaded, or worse - set free to spend the next month in a panic waiting for the sword to fall. Her rise to power had shaped Elodie into a cruel woman who took pleasure in the suffering of others.
And thus Queen Elodie's legacy stretched into the future...

These are some weekend activity alternatives suggested by Cyberdelika, who pointed out some of the activities were missing and provided these improv activities. These choices will still get you the same ending.
