"You can talk about it here, Maxieno. No need to talk privately."
"Oh, of course, I need to talk to the Princess who is pretty good at stealing something precious from the dragon tribe," said Maxieno, his eyes still unable to leave Suri, who was also staring at him in puzzlement.
"I will never allow it. If you have something to say, then say it here. I won't give you a chance to insult my daughter-"
Maxieno glanced at Ronan disinterestedly. He desperately wanted to smack that man's face. Not just one, but two or more… Why were all those black-haired men with red irises so annoying?
Maxieno looked at Suri again.
"So… Princess?"
"I-"
"No! I will never allow it. If there is something you want to say, then say it here now. And you can bring the hatchling back to Birwick, for all I care," said Ronan, who still forbade Maxieno to come closer to his daughter.
