Pictures aside, here you go some official statement:
The main characters relationship is not specifically a love story. You can certainly take it in that direction if you wish. They may become enemies, business associates, friends, or even lovers depending on how you develop them. Will they end up as friends and even lovers, or do they have to learn to live together out of sheer necessity?
If even THIS isn't confirmation romance, then I do not know what more you want. Swen Vincke with a large sign "WE HAVE ROMANCE IN ORIGINAL SIN" on his chest?
