Uh! Wrote a long reply and the internet ate it. I found three examples, the Tournament King and Countess of Galin who "really love each other", the Archduke of Estali and the Alangellia (High Priestess of Ernalda); both mentioned in the old Glornatha: Genertela, Crucible of the Hero Wars, and Jareel and Annstad of Dunstop, who according to King of Sartar page 158 fall in love in the middle of a battle while fighting on opposite sides and suddenly leave the field.
