Yeah. Ignis seems to care about the state of the country and fairness evident with how angered he was by nobles paying to escape the military. Already a good leader.
But this won't be the novel. Our MC has already changed so much. I'd be happy if Ignis gets the crown. I do like him as the ML, and the dynamic of superior and subordinate they got going on is good, but Letio also balances out great with the MC and I can see a backstory where she saved/inspired him as children and she forgot but he didn't. The subtext shows he has a reason for interacting with Celesitine which has great potential for romance that I would like to see play out.
The 'change ML' is kinda a joke. I mean both guys are great, but we all know shes staying with Ignis. I just think a Letio romance would be great to see aswell
I gather that the supposed villain Ignis is actually quite kind, it's just he makes the tough choices and can easily be labelled a villain.
But Letio is just so adorable! His nativity complements our MC's rather serious disposition. Curse second male lead syndrom!
