195 Goodbye, Mother

"MARIANNE, where have you been?"

Marianne smiled and sat beside Maverick on the sofa in their room. Then, she hugged his arm and laid her head on the shoulder. "I just visited the Fire Tree in the garden. It looks so beautiful to me."

To be honest, she went to the fire tree to leave her message to her daughter. She was able to do that using the magic spell that Lord Wixx taught her. She had to memorize the incantation that he told her again and again until she finally got it right. The language that she used was very foreign to her so she was praying that she didn't fail.

Anyway, she chose that fire tree because that was the resting place that she decided on. When she dies, she wanted to be buried here in Oakes instead of the Royal Capital.

"Maverick?"

"Hmm?"

"When I die, I want to be buried under the Fire Tree in your garden."

"Marianne, you know that I don't like talking about things like that."
