There are many forms of love besides romantic/sexual.
That is one finely animated shot. Then again, them being not blood-related brothers really doesn't do much about the incest aspect, since one of the biggest objections to incest is the whole reproductive factor that wouldn't apply here. If they were raised together it's still icky, in my opinion, and also distracting and redundant given that Demande already has one person interested in him
Regarding Esmeraude, to be fair I never got the sense that she seriously loved Demande like Saphir did. Her love seemed very shallow, like she just wanted Demande cause of the power and privilege it could give her by letting her become Queen. She sure was quick to flirt with other guys after all, as demonstrated here.
So no I don't believe it feels redundant if one member of the Clan has more of a silly, schoolgirl crush while the other has a deeper longing for the same person.
If they intended for Saphir to be in love with his brother, why put him in a relationship with Petz?
Why none of the sisters have a crush on Demande? Koan was into Rubeus and Petz to Saphir.
I personally think Saphir was jealous of his brother at times.
