This fits into the theme of: Coming of Age.
We can learn that, even over time, things might change but as you grow it won't affect you any more.

  • Does Miri really want to marry the prince? Why or why not? 
  • Why does Miri decide that Britta is the best person to marry the prince in the end? 
  • Why does Prince Steffan look so uncomfortable at the dance? 
  • Is there a reason why the priests choose a different region each time for the prince to marry from?
