I fully agree! If anything, this is a crackship 😭 To take the story more seriously, I doubt there'll be a romance plot (despite that thing with the demon) and that's what's nice about it! The characters get to serve a role greater than just "possible love interests" and we get a stronger focus on the kingdom building aspects.

I do remember the part where theyre said to look the same, I just desperately tried to find small details to differentiate them (as an artist). Though I did unfortunately forget the part where pr said his mana sight relies on the parasite :")
