Nina Sakura[]
Maya and Nina are childhood friends who turned into rivals once they were elected to be candidates to become the prince's wife. Maya holds deep grudges and shows hostility to Nina despite the latter staying kind and caring to her. It is shown that Maya questions why Nina can easily acquire the holy stones and becomes estranged with jealousy because of this.
When Nina achieved all holy stones, she was told by the prince that she saved him from death by a tower collapsing ten years before. The prince explained that Nina had been given a master key passed down from his family for ages. Nina then realizes the mistake and tells the prince she is not that girl. The prince then describes her that day, long hair and a white dress. Nina clears up the mess and tells the prince that it was Maya Orphelia and not her. Nina was then seen next to Yuta, watching the prince and Maya opening the door with the key given by the prince.

Maya and Tsuijai got items from a store Tsuijai believed Maya would enjoy.
When Maya was found to be lurking around the beach house of Tsuijai's family, Maya reasoned that she needed an answer from Tsuijai from her false confession. Her true intentions was to find the holy stone. When Tsuijai realized she seemed completely uninterested in him, he accused her of not knowing what true love is or not knowing how it really feels.
