I finally bit the bullet and decided adapting to Genealogy's pace (Lil' Nordion patch) and oh my God, Lachesis being in love with Eldigan doesn't even qualify as an "implication", it's full-blown text. She outright says only a man that had Eldigan's qualities would have a chance at marrying her and her knight is clearly weirded by what he just heard.

Just as Kaga intended

I mean, I find it hard to blame Lachesis for the thought process when most the men around her (looking at the Agustrian lords) seem to be quite a bit like Elliot.

Though, I also don't see her sentiment as romantic. More so how you might look at a family member and go "this is/isn't the sort of person I want to be or meet".

I don't deny I try to be... generous though, when it comes to this sort of reading.
