Anya's return wasn't filled with any sort of fanfare, the first thing she did after the entire situation was explained to her, was to twist Alex's hand so far back that the tip of his fingers could touch his head. It was painful, and then she proceeded to sit on him, but none the less they were both still quite happy to see each other. Just like Alex had told them, Anya was a simple person, schemes weren't her cup of tea, but the chance to pull one over her father was something she happily got on board for. Alex had no idea how his mother was able to get that greedy and selfish village head to sign a marriage agreement, but he did, making it so that Anya was already betrothed to Alex.
