Most people compare Engage to Fates, but recently, I think there's more comparison with Sacred Stones
Alfred and L'arachel? They would share one brain cell. Alfred would match her energy and have fun with her hero of justice routine and L'arachel would enjoy his company
And as fun and jovial as both of them are, they do share the backstory of mourning the loss of their parents and needing to move forward with their memory
The only difference between Innes and Diamant is that Diamant has actual social skills. I can picture them talking with mutual respect as princes and then Diamant would start trying to get Innes to loosen up. Actually, he might start comparing him to Alcryst because Innes does self-esteem issues of his own. Big bro Diamant supremacy
These two would have so much fun. They would have the most fun making bets and playing games. But also, they would scope out each other as royals even if they were both incognito and make subtle "I know what you are" remarks at each other while never saying it directly
When you think about it, Ivy is kinda like Lyon if Lyon could be saved. They really just wanted what's best for their nations, but that desperation led to choices they came to regret. Plus, they are total dorks when they're on their own. There's really cute friendship potential here
