Your Character
In Chapter 3, Madeleine mentions that Queen Amalas is also in attendance at the palace but doesn't tell you which country she is representing. In Chapter 4, you meet her for the first time during the ball you throw when she visits your duchy. You can impress her, depending on your choices. She mentions having a child from before her husband passed, and a possible alliance against Auvernal, who appears to bully her country as well. She offers you a female corgi to adopt.

In Chapter 7, she approaches you at Savannah's bachelorette party in Texas. She has the bartender slide you a Sazerac, her favorite drink. If you ask her to extend the same courtesy of getting to know her, she tells you that she doesn't have any friends. She is good to her servants though, demonstrating by giving her server a $1000 tip. In Chapter 16, she appears at your baby shower, expecting your answer about a possible alliance. In Chapter 18, she reveals to you and your friends that Leona was the one responsible behind the paparazzi knowing your locations.

In Book 2, Chapter 5, she attends The Heir's annointment ceremony but tells you that it was only out of courtesy. She says she can't agree to anything with a country that is in league with Auvernal and that she can no longer trust you.

Bradshaw and Isabella
Bradshaw & Isabella start as Amalas's rivals to become Cordonia's allies. Even though Bradshaw and Isabella drive a wedge between Amalas and Cordonia by gaining the treaty and marriage contract between one of their twins and the heir, they frame Amalas in Book 2 Chapter 8 by having a "Monterisso" drone attack Isabella. They also use the drone attack to further strengthen their military presence inside Cordonia.

In Chapter 16, you, Hana, and Olivia find notes about Monterisso in Bradshaw's office. Apparently, the 'Falcon has gone to nest in Cianna' and its orders are to 'shake the trunk and see which branches bend first.'

Trivia
