The moment Maria saw Lithianthus, the silence , the loneliness made her forget everything and throw herself in Lithianthus' arms while started wailing out loud. She started whining about everything that happened to the beast, who hid her in its wings and listened patiently to all her complaints.
After all, it knows it can't help her, as it's not the first time when she had been hit or abused. But she had made them promise not to interfere. To not to hurt the crown prince, the next king of the Unexa. Although they highly disagree and even snapped at her when she made them hold themselves back after watching her badly hurt for the first time.
But she knows the cost would be too much, they would end up losing the place they call home. She knows if they as much as lay finger on crown prince then they would be brutally sought and killed which she doesn't want. Thus, despite having such a great power under her hand she doesn't use it or rather misuse it.
