Adaptation Differences[]

  • Fiore Forvedge Yggdmillennia calls Darnic Prestone Yggdmillennia uncle instead of grandfather.
  • Assassin of Red's dove familiars are absent.
  • Ruler is present for when Saber of Black gives his heart to Sieg, unlike the novel where she doesn't meet Sieg until she comes searching for him after hearing from Rider of Black that Saber gave his heart to a homunculus. She therefore doesn't go to Fortress of Millennia to question the Black Faction about Saber's sudden disappearance.
  • The Black Faction arrive in the forest and question Rider of Black about what happened to Saber shortly after the incident transpired, instead of Rider reporting it sometime afterward in the fortress.
  • Ruler drops Sieg off at Serge's house and heads out alone, unlike the novel where they spend the night there and head out together.
