I hope Iklies is the ML ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ノ~

At least it’s not forced. It actually kinda makes sense since they both have similar experiences growing up. (Being hated just for existing). So they were able to connect with each other through that instead of just some bs like “omg you’re so interesting and unique! You’re not like those other noble girls! You don’t see me as a crown prince you just see me as a person!”.
What I like about Yunifer (aside from other things) is that she's a little bit more open minded about sex or affection than other protagonists. Usually FLs are portrayed as innocent and pure little girls who reject skinship at all cots, like they can't like it or be sincere about liking it. Is not something bad tho, but it can't be EVERY SINGLE ONE of them like that.
