Are you a bad enough dude to rescue this article?

Long Live The Queen is a raising sim where you prepare a princess to become queen. And watch her die in the process. And watch her die again. And again. And again. And ag--

Easter Egg

At line #159 in outfit.rpyc is code for some sort of Easter egg, but it seems to be inaccessible without the developer console.

label show_princess_EASTEREGG:
    show expression PrincessSprite(mood,height=600):
        xalign .5
        ypos 600

Unused Outfits

outfit.rpyc also contains some references to two unobtainable outfits that appear to be Homestuck references, of all things! No graphics for them exist in the game's files, though.

        tavros=(12,17),
        jade=(192,387),

(under "princess_outfitpos")

        tavros=(740,1183),
        jade=(313,814),

(under "princess_outfitsize")

princess_outfit_overlay = dict(jade='glasses',history='history-glasses',
        intrigue='intrigue-lens')
    princess_outfit_overlaypos = dict(
        jade=(240,226),
        history=(82+28,49+76),
        
        intrigue=(83+85,120),
        )
        "Wide Test Outfit" if 'Tavros' in unlocked_outfits:
            $ current_outfit = 'tavros'

Early Dossier

dossiers.rpyc contains an unused copy of Corisande's dossier code, seemingly an earlier version given the name. It has the same text as the final version, but with a few formatting differences.
