Anulam

**Anulam** is semi canon ship between Anubis and Neelam.

## Canon

### First Meeting

Anubis and Neelam first met in Prince Series 12: May I Have This Dance? : Dances when Neelam treated Anubis's wound caused by Quentin. Of course, Neelam was not aware of Anubis's status. During Neelam's performance, we can see Anubis glancing at her while he rests on the balcony with a slight grin.

## Development

During the trip to Momosu island, Anubis got on board the yacht and hypnotized them. He did this to see how close the princes and princesses relationships were by setting up a game. After he gave instructions to the hypnotized crew, he left on his speedboat.

However Neelam was secretly hiding on said boat and clubbed his head to cause Anubis to pass out. She drove the boat to an island and tried to contact Charles but the reception in the forest was bad. Little did she knew Anubis was right behind her and dragged her out of the forest.

She feared than Anubis was going to harm her but she still had the courage to ask him why he was doing this and what for. Anubis simply asked, deadpan, on how she was able to speak. Neelam got annoyed at him and demand that he reason with her.

The two then spent time on the island together. Anubis left to the forest to get some supplies, Neelam convinced Anubis to let her join him in exchange for the information of why she wasn't brainwashed. The two connected in the forest while Neelam teaches him about the various plants there. After they left, Neelam kept trying to converse with Anubis much to his annoyance.

Neelam kept on teaching Anubis about the various plants and said that she was immune to his dark magic due to her high tolerance. Neelam then helped wrap Anubis's head scar and she spoke with him. She brought up fairy tales which confused Anubis as he doesn't know what they were.

She told him the story of the tortoise and the hare which he regards as important and values the lesson. She asked Anubis if he has a story saying that he must have something he cares about, much to Neelam's surprise, Anubis began to speak of his past and traumas, masking it as a story of a king and the his two princes. Neelam doesn't recognize this, wondering on which fairy tale this was.

She also didn't realize that she had opened Anubis's heart. The next morning he left the island to meet Gion leaving Neelam alone and anxious as to her survival. When meeting Gion, Gion refers that Anubis had a change of heart that he himself didn't realize. Anubis returned to the island and was greeted with a distressed Neelam. She slapped his face for leaving her and the two left on his motorboat.

When the other princesses were found, they had lost their memory due to the brainwashing. Neelam lied, saying that she doesn't remember in order to save Anubis.

## Current State

The two are in a rather complicated relationship as of now. Its clear that they care for each other seen in how Neelam lied to protect Anubis and Anubis subconsciously taking care of Neelam. The twos relationship are still developing.

## Fandom

The ship is very popular as Prince Series 24:Heroes Of Fable: Fairy tales fueled the fans.

This ship is liked due to the opposites attracts trope as Neelam has a motherly nature and Anubis is very childish.

Fans of this ship are interested to see if the ship will cause Anubis to reform or Neelam to become evil.
