I have a hard time envisioning rumors being spread about Russia and the Holy Roman Empire at first because from past discussion. I have it in my head that the school is going to randomly pair knights with nobles. Meaning there was no way to setup an arranged/pre-conclusion teaming. 

And I do believe if rumors about Illa and Millie form. Lilia will become extremely distant and uninterested with her. He has no ambition to court anyone at the moment and sees no need. His current goal is to be approved by his father and achieve the requirements given to him to take over the throne in the future. 

Rumors can spread though they will be as hallow as this man. Illa isn't a romantic character, he's not built for it, and if he does court anyone it'll be a long burn to even then. Courting and relationships are not on his mind. 

And if the rumors get bad enough along with questions, Illa would go out of his way to go to the headmaster of the school to see if he can change nobles. He won't feed into people's entertainment and he's not there for friendships. 

Edit: I'm at work and on mobile so I might not be explaining this well. We will have to discuss this more later.

Hmmm, fair points! I admit that I may have read his character wrong. I'm scrapping the idea.

Also, you brought up good points about his personality and motivations, which points us to what we want to experience as their writer. I'm just saying that if you think that there's little potential to explore from pairing them, we may as well nip it in the bud and cancel the (OOC) arrangement. For example: if they work better as foes, then it's better to [i]not[/i] pair them.

Related, if it helps to know, I already have a contingency plan if somehow, there's no other PC that can foster interesting plots with mine, that is, I'll just pair up Millie with Max, [b]"Fine, I'll do it myself"[/b] Thanos style. 😎
