Jup, was absolutely obvious Emil was the love interest, but I still had to gringe whenever there was a romance flag between them and I did hope there'd never be actual romance. And we got quite far without it, to be fair.
And frankly, I wouldn't care if she was getting married to some older guy because of her standing - as long as it's not romanticised. I'm having trouble with that, especially when Emil will return her feelings. As it is, he's falling for a child. And it's not cute, and I don't want to read something that makes it seem like I should find that cute.
