AND A SIDE STORY THAT CENTERS AROUND FRUK.
Whilst Amelia and Anya are having their adventure, Amelia's sister Alice meets Marianne. Alice is a witch. She found out Amelia ran away so she followed her sister to bring her back (knowing how reckless she can be Alice almost fainted from worry). She finds Marianne, an exile of their kingdom. Alice recognized her and threatened to hex her and drag her to jail, but Marianne insisted that she had seen Amelia and knew where to find her. So she and Alice set off to find her. They fall for each other along the way and Alice and Amelia reunite in the midst of war. Alice tries to get Amelia to come back but the latter doesn't want to go and tells her sister about everything thats happened and why she had left in the first place. Begrudgingly, Alice stays in the palace with Marianne. Alice is also very wary of the knight that followed her sister around. Anya doesn't like Alice at all, and Alice doesn't like her either.
Imagine Amelia as a rebellious healer princess and Anya as a knight of a rival kingdom. Amelia’s family is corrupt and she knows it, so with a strong sense of justice she runs away to stop the war and defeat her kingdom. She gets lost in a forest and almost gets killed by bandits when Anya, a knight who deserted the army and is on the run from the law, rescues her. Anya has no desire to join the war and refuses Amelia when the latter asks Anya to come with her and help. Amelia knows Anya is on the run (she recognizes her from the wanted posters) and said she’d expose Anya’s whereabouts, so the latter had no choice but to go. The forest is dangerous full of dangerous magical creatures and bad people. Anya protected Amelia battle after battle, and afterwards Amelia heals her. Anya pines hard for the princess but keeps her feelings to herself. Once the war was over and they won Anya finally confesses and Amelia FEELS THE SAME WAY and the monarchs of the rival kingdom gave their positions to Amelia and Anya after retiring so now Anya is a badass queen who protects her healer queen wife Amelia thank you for coming to my ted talk
