So we now know the stakes of this tournament. The two leading competitors have their own ideals that would taken to great extremes if either becomes king. Forden is the leading representative of the religion that created the notion of "superior" and "lesser" races and therefore is responsible for the now rampant discrimination and abuse of the "lesser" races. Louis is a ambitious military man who would eliminate members of the royal family to achieve his goals. So basically no matter who wins the kingdom will be forever changed for the worst. If Forden wins the kingdom will become a place where "superior" races rule over everything while the "lesser" races are their livestock/slaves. And if Louis wins the kingdom will become a militarized dictatorship. The protagonist's main goal may be to save the prince but it's also good to think that he's also preventing these two extremists from taking the throne and transforming the kingdom based on their warped ideals.

As a general rule of thumb, non-background characters who have at least one positive interaction with each other (context and subtext be damned) will likely be shipping fodder. Shipping intensity increases with more interactions (mainly but not always positive) and screen presence. Both of these characters were described as childhood friends and are critically important to the story (one as the MC, the other as a living inciting incident). So outside of the main party the prince will likely be the MC's most frequently shipped partner.
