The story about Maxieno helping her mother master her powers was a story that Suri knew by heart because it also coincided with the new responsibilities that her mother brought with her. Namely protecting the three dragon eggs from Maxieno's younger brother who died a long time ago. The younger brother who was killed by the King of Northendell. Suri's father himself.
"Oh, but I was a little surprised by your decision to accept Maxieno's proposal. Mama thought you two were just good friends."
"We are indeed good friends. But… I had to start looking at something new. I think if you just sit quietly in the palace, I won't really be able to find the answer to my goal of becoming a Saintess chosen by the Sun God. I need some freedom. And I can get that freedom if I leave the palace."
"And your way of leaving the palace is to marry Maxieno?" Arielle asked.
