Well at the beginning there were hints of romance but as the plot went on it eventually turned into the mc going through adventures with a mercenary like group with a child beastman and a elf. The rest of us are not sure who exactly is the ml, but we are mostly rooting for the elf. That nobleman in the beginning sucked!
It's kinda funny how there is another one called Elqueeness and he became the king of water and although he identifies as a boy everyone mistakes him as a girl.
