Amelia enjoyed an education at Herbertine University as one of its few female students. There, she wrote and published her first play, ''Il Complotto Della Moglie''. However, by the end of 1916, she had fled from the university to the Duchy of Minitz out of fear for her life after the death of her father and brother. Amelia found refuge in Minitz after the traumatic event. She was housed by, [[Henriette de Lewes|Henriette, Duchess of Minitz]], who had introduced Amelia to her brother, [[Fernand, Baron of Virdain|Fernand]]. The two were quickly engaged, but no marriage occurred until 1928.

Amelia wore a muted archival pull designed by the Illatian designer Ulrico Citro for her wedding ceremony. The dress was designed to resemble flowers, which alone cost her upwards of 1,300 mina. In addition to her costly dress, she had purchased a pair of purple heels, setting her back another 300 mina. In total, the ceremony cost about 2,000 mina. This left the newlyweds destitute in their first years of marriage, causing Amelia to sell her valuable jewels and dresses to make up for the money lost.

The couple had their first child, Henri Leufroy Sigismondo in 1928, followed by a set of twin boys, Jean-Paul Dardot and Louis Antoine in 1929, Anne Charlene in 1930, Laurène Renaulta in 1932, and Margot-Lucilla in 1933. Despite the constant state of pregnancy, which she told [[Adela of High Peak]] was ‘...hell on earth’, she enjoyed caring for her children. During this period, Amelia was made Mistress of the Wardrobe, and then Directress of the Plane by her husband, then Lord Mayor of Whitespire. She purchased a Summer Home in Lemon Hill during her tenure as Directress, retreating there after a tsunami hit the royal capital.
