Plot

Story

A brave knight named Albion has been sent to recover a princess named Cecelia from a monster-infested tower held by the witch Etruria. Winning her safety (and her company in bed) from a nefarious (but inexperienced) beholder (which happens to turn out to be a monster and then teams up with Albion), they must learn to cooperate to face other threats. Once they get to the princess's castle where the king was waiting for her return, someone breaks the seal of one of the many monsters. A giant monster comes out of the basement, which had been imprisoned there for over 500 years and looks a little like an octopus, a bigger version of the beholder they had to face before, because the witch Etruria had made him from the DNA of the captive monster they kept in their basement. They have to team up with people such as the ninja spy Palmyra and the seductive and deadly Sirena, who comes from a blade the witch Etruria finds.

Tower Of Etruria

The title refers to the tower where princess Etruria "gets captured" and the guy has to save her. Apparently the whole story involves the princess Etruria because she is really clumsy and makes a lot of mistakes.
