During their short marriage, Siriwan was the inexperienced Warren's closest advisor and it was on her advice that he named their son as Heir-Designate shortly after his birth. Almost exactly a year later, Warren died of 'mysterious causes', ascribed to eating bad shellfish. Once again Siriwan accepted power, this time as regent to her infant son. She quickly dropped any assumed reluctance from the role and became an imperious and adept leader. Preferring negotiation to warfare, she adopted a defensive strategy during the later years of the Age of War rather than place herself in a position where her inexperience in military affairs could let her down.

Siriwan would remain regent for almost four decades before relinquishing power to her son Hehiro, although there are some sources suggesting that she offered to resign before that and he had persuaded her not to. Again, she remained a key advisor to the new Coordinator and the matriarch of House Kurita. When Hohiro died, after thirty-five years on the throne, Siriwan led the mourners at his state funeral.

Hehiro's son, [[Leonard Kurita]] died in [[2605]] of mysterious causes perhaps not unremoved from those that had killed Warren Kurita eighty-eight years before. His heir, [[Blaine Kurita]], was already seriously ill and died within a year. Despite being 109 years old, Siriwan once again assumed power, this time in her own right. She admitted to being exhilarated at the experience and confident in her ability to wield it, but the nobility were less delighted and only two years later she retreated to her accustomed role as advisor, yielding power to her granddaughter [[Sanethia Kurita]]. Amazingly, Siriwan was able to remain a force in Kurita court politics for another quarter of a century.
