Oh, ok. Max loses his trump card and Gallia gains a Valkyria. But, can I take that little add-on to your idea and work on it, since you won't be doing that path?

Spoiler for My take on the idea...:

With that happy, and lengthy, period of time spent in Gallia with Welkin, Selvaria is now a more emotional person. While she listens to Max, the prince resents the fact that she had another source of strength within her, and that she never fully "belonged" to him, so to speak. (Max is still the jerk here.)

When the war with Galia began, Selvaria dutifully carried out her duties, but at the same time, she needed to know what happened to Welkins. Once intel came to her about Squad 7's activities, she soon recognised Welkins and Isara. Secretly glad that she had found her old friends, she continued to observe Squad 7.

Howver, their reunion was on less than happy terms. Through his binos, Welkins recognised the Valkyria who was tearing through Gallia's forces. Surely, this young lady wasn't the mysterious little girl who appeared and disappeared in his life back when he was a child? Alas, it was. Welkins and Isara was saddened that they have to fight an old friend, and Selvaria knew that she was torn between her duty to Max and her friendship with the first friends she ever had. More insidiously, Max now knows that Selvaria had friends over in Gallia. He gave her the task which would change her life yet again: To prove her loyalty to the Empire, she would have to kill the enemy commander whom she was caught speaking with.

After much thought, Selvaria disappeared from her camp, and came to Welkins and Isara. However, Max wasn't worried, for his scientists have perfected a replacement for Selvaria. Luckily, with help from Gallia's own Valkyria, Selvaria and Welkins confronted Max, alone. Selvaria was now with the two men who saved her at different points in her life. On his part, Max was not going down without a fight. To save Welkins, Selvaria chose to kill Max and then destroy the Marmota with her Final Flame. As her last words, Selvaria tearfully asks Welkins to "be happy with Alicia". During her short time with Squad 7, she could tell that the girl was fond of Welkins, and the feeling was mutual. However, she did ask for one final kiss, just like in the morning so many years ago, before she first disappeared from Welkin's life...

In the epilogue, Alicia's daughter asked her Aunt Isara the origins of her name, Selvaria. A thin smile on her face, Isara then tells the story...
