A Raev woman had travelled. Amaliya Anna vas Ruthern had left Oren after her sister’s trip. A trip her sister never came back from. Blue eyes had grown cold, regarding the world with apathy. The Raev barely cared about anyone, she had few that were close to her. And one of them disappeared. Her jaw was clenched, cold eyes looking over at the rolling fields.

 

Where she had gone was unknown. Amaliya let herself wander. She needed to be away from Oren, anywhere but there. So she travelled, made her way across Almaris. Dark curls spilled over her shoulders, a delicate hand rising to adjust the hat she wore. Red fabric clothed her, a riding dress being her clothing of choice nowadays. A sigh left pink lips, her eyes regarding the lands she was in.

 

News had travelled to her of Josef’s disownment. She needed to go home, her goal had been to make her family proud after all. Amaliya was ready to return to her goal and prove herself.

It made her ponder her family life. Her mother and father, Her Royal Highness Helen Antonia and Lord Viktor var Ruthern. They didn't love each other; Amaliya had known that for years. Ever since her father had told her at age seven that marriage did not equal love. And here Amaliya was, unmarried at age twenty-three. It brought a laugh to her lips; Amaliya only planned on marrying to help the family. She had no interest in it.

Her first stop was to the manor, Kositz awaited her.
