No romance, does intense bromance count??? If this was a romance genre though, it would be a harem cus Cale pretty much attracts eccentric characters his way like magnet. With Alberu being the head "wife" of the harem...though that's just shipper in me speaking, they have really good chemistry together.
I've seen comments while reading the novel that would describes Cale perfectly. He's a king's maker. Cus almost many of the characters he met, Cale pretty much schemed in the background, pulled some strings and "by chance" found opportunities for these characters to become great and powerful. Idolized like heroes even by the people.
