8. Delita Heiral and Ovelia Atkascha – Final Fantasy Tactics
Delita and Ovelia may be the most atypical romance in the entire series as their relationship doesn’t really even get a chance to start. Born a commoner and after suffering tragedy after tragedy, Delita kidnaps the princes, who is commonly used as a bargaining chip in the war between two royal families.
Delita promises to free the princess from her burdens of royalty and being used as a tool, which for a time he does. Because of this, Ovelia decides to marry the young warrior, despite his common birth. Sadly, after a while Ovelia begins to believe Delita is merely using her for his own gain. In a tragic twist, Ovelia stabs Delita, before he himself returns the action in surprise. Delita recalls his love for the princess in his final moments as she lies at his feet, making their stalemate an even more poignant one.
