If it is Ivala, she wouldn't have had to affect every aspect of the lives of the harem members, just alter their destinies so they wouldn't find love until they met Simon, similar to Varia's luck, a small but fundamental change that impacts every event of their lives.

We could argue if her destiny manipulation would involve guaranteeing they would meet Simon and the more omniscient implications of such a thing, but I'm leaning more towards a "thrown to the wind" approach. She looked for women that were destined to be exceptional in different ways, then cursed their destinies so they wouldn't have romance in their lives until they met Simon, making it so Simon would have the opportunity to pick up a number of very competent women to be his loyal lovers during his world domination tour. Worth mentioning I don't think this applies to every harem member, but could definitely apply to the majority.

I think the "final" three powers of the Tower will each have their own frighteningly powerful ability of manipulation. Tanurak can change things in a subtle and primordial level, making it so he can fundamentally change the universe in small ways that cascade into huge effects. Ivala can alter the destinies of people, molding their existence to push them towards any purpose she sees fit. The Anak is still a mystery, but I imagine it will involve something like limiting any being from ever becoming too powerful. At the moment neither of them is powerful enough to manipulate the entire world, so maybe that's what the final conflict will be about.

Until we know more of Ivala's plan, I don't think we can really say much about what her intentions were for Alonon, perphaps he was her previous project before Simon, destined to be a wise king untouched by lust, but sadly as Alonon grew in power and knowledge he came to resent his existence in an universe where lust is a fundamental energy, and used Tower magic to break away from his own destiny, Ivala learned from that and in Simon she may have found a sovereign that is much more comfortable with his own existence.

Or maybe Alonon never had his destiny altered by Ivala, he was just a powerful Tower Walker she tried to enlist towards her cause for the big conflict yet to come, either by directly assisting Simon or just as an ally.
