I do not know what to make of Ymir's relationship to Historia/Crista. In a way, it may be similar to Jean and Mikasa where Jean has/had a crush on her and Mikasa clearly does not care. Ymir probably does love Crista, but I do not think Crista ever looked at Ymir in that way. I think she saw Ymir as a friend and, as AhmedHadi1 notes, felt betrayed. Frankly, part of the "charm" of "Crista" was she was everyone's fantasy "waifu" and she seemed utterly innocent of the attention.

The point of that blather is I do not know how much in love Ymir is with the now Queen Historia. It may have only ever been an infatuation. Would Ymir be willing to risk her life again to save Historia? Granted, Historia is now one of the safest characters in the series. Losing her "Crista" may have driven Ymir to the depressed resignation that she has. Sort of a "what is the point?" of living, but I suspect Ymir has been living a long time and her survival instinct is just that strong. So I am not sure she would willingly go with B and R to Homeland simply to be devoured. Unless she has some other motivation such as explaining to the Homelanders she is worth more to them alive than devoured. Who knows?
