Before The Engagement

"Suri, I know that this decision was very selfish. You said you wanted to explore your powers, right? Want to find the meaning of being a Sun Saintess, right? Therefore, I also wanted to see the process. If Birwick was locked up I won't be able to see the progress."

Suri took a deep breath and responded to Ronan's words with a nod of her head.

"Okay."

"Thank you for understanding."

"But could I have permission to come with Maxieno back to Birwick? Maxieno would negotiate with the Birwick creatures. Maybe by meeting them one by one I could find the answer."

Ronan nodded, which surprised Suri.

"Of course you could come to Birwick. That was just a bluff for Maxieno."

Ronan lifted his daughter's hand and kissed the silk-gloved palm gently.
