Burk was sent away after his actions against Noori, though he wanted to explain, his pleas were not heard. Azorius was looking for a way to get Noori back into the palace, and while he searched for solutions, he was surprised to find Noori herself seeking him out. In the audience hall, she appeared dressed as a princess of Solyria, adorned in a rich velvet gown and fur shawl wrapped around her, a stark contrast to the typical attire of the Solyrian people. Despite this, her effort to assimilate impressed Azorius. Standing before his throne, she spoke with immense respect.

"Your Majesty the King, I wish to ask for your permission," she began.

"Your Majesty, I wish to rebuild the palace that was destroyed because of me. The guilt of ruining one of the places that my husband cherished so much is consuming me. I hope you understand."
