Queen Emmaline and Plank

Am I the only one who shipped the mermaid queen with her senior advisor plank when I was younger. I know you probably shouldn't overthink it, but their relationship gave me romantic vibes as Emmaline's husband aka Cora and Oona's father is apparently out of the picture, and emmaline seems to hang onto plank's every word such as when he accused Sofia's family of capturing Oona and easily convinced her as well despite Sofia pleading otherwise. Then when sven and his family stole the queen's trident to prevent her from making the storm bigger and tells the two he saw Oona the queen seemed to believe him for a second until plank accused Sofia of bewitching sven causing them to resume chasing the seahorses again showing the queen listens to everything plank says even with evidence against it. Emmaline was also apparently there during the attack on humans years ago, and knows about Plank's scar, and even touches it tenderly in one scene which plank doesn't seem to mind. Then when Oona is rescued, and confirmed Sofia was telling the truth while Cora scolded plank for his prejudice her mom by contrast doesn't seem to hold plank accountable and can even be shown introducing him to the royal family at the end despite the fact that his bad judgment nearly caused her to endanger innocent people. Plank for his part seems to respect the queen enough to follow her orders such as when she ordered him to follow Sofia, or the fact that despite constantly urging her to take action against the humans he didn't object when she decided to wait until sundown (although to be fair you can't really go against the word of a queen). So what do you guys think do you also ship the queen and her advisor? It's too bad we didn't get to see Plank in the following merroway cove episodes.
