While Prince Raiden and the third Prince Atsushi chatted, the guests took turns to give gifts to emperor Jun and the crown prince as birthday people.
Until it stopped for a while because of a remark from the emperor Jun who asked the crown prince what gifts he wanted.
"Do you want a gift from your father son?, "asked emperor Jun to the crown prince.
"May I ask for two things, the emperor's majesty?" asked the crown prince, Daiki Jun.
"Tell me son if I can still make it happen" said the emperor.
"I want the engagement between me and the crown princess of the Kofuku kingdom to be aborted and I want princess Mika of the Hokori kingdom to take her place as my tunagan, " prince Daiki said aloud to the surprise of everyone in the hall except the family of princess Mika and the family of Manami.
"Are you sure about that my son, but if that's your will we should get the approval of the three parties" said emperor Jun.
"But his highness the emperor.., "had not had time for prince Daiki to finish his sentence, emperor Dai raised his voice.
"Sorry for the unwillingness of Emperor Jun's servant, I would like to say that we have sincerely agreed to the annulment of this engagement. It was also because the servant's daughter said that she was not worthy of being with the great crown prince. And now it was only to ask for the approval of the emperor Eiji as the parent of this Mika princess, "said the emperor Dai who stood up while paying respect to the emperor Jun and then sat back down.
"Oh is that how the emperor Dai is?, then do you agree with the emperor Eiji and princess Mika?," asked the emperor Jun as he glanced at the two of them.
"If they agree then I, as his father, will approve of him, how do you feel, son?, do you agree to it?, " asked the emperor Eiji to his second daughter.
"Sa. I agree father, " said daughter Mika embarrassed.
"Well then, I now announce that the engagement between the crown prince and princess Manami has been annulled and replaced by the engagement between the crown prince and princess Mika of the Hokori kingdom. And now let's continue the show, "the emperor Jun said loudly.
The emperor's statement made a rowdy hall, some scorned Manami and others supported the crown prince's relationship with princess Mika.
Note :
Emperor Jun had refused the request of his crown prince first, but because he could not face his son, Emperor Jun surrendered and hoped that at the last moment his son would change his mind, but in reality did not.

The emperor's statement made the four people very happy with their respective reasons.
Prince Daiki due to the annulment of the engagement, Mika's daughter due to being engaged to the crown prince, Manami due to the annulment of the engagement as well and Prince Raiden who now has a chance against Manami.
The event was also resumed with the gift giving as the main event.
One by one the guests went forward to give their gifts to the emperor until finally it was also the turn of the Dai emperor's family to give gifts.
The Dai emperor's family presented several rolls of high quality silk cloth, some high-tier pills, an exquisite dragon and phoenix-shaped jade and a slightly large wooden box, respectively, it is a special gift from Manami.
"Emperor Dai, may I know the contents of the wooden box?, "asked the curious emperor Jun with the wooden box now held by his eunuch.
"Oh it is a special cake made by the servant princess as a sign of respect to your Anshin empire this emperor, " said the emperor Dai.
"Special cake?, is your daughter good at cooking emperor Dai?, "asked emperor Jun.
"You are right Emperor Jun, if you do not believe open the box, cut the cake into pieces and try to taste it" said emperor Dai.
"When did emperor Dai?, then the eunuch opened the box and tried to taste how the cake tasted, "command emperor Jun.
The eunuch also opened the lid of the box and saw a birthday cake without two levels of candles with a pink cream garnished in the form of roses in such a way and brown leaf-shaped adorn the edges of the that cake.
Everyone was surprised by the beautiful cake.The eunuch also divided the cake into several parts assisted by the lady-in-waiting of the emperor Dai and ate it.
The eunuch was really surprised by the taste of the cake.
"Ah, this cake emperor is very tasty and beautiful. This cake is sweet and soft also in the middle there is a fruit that refreshes this cake, really this is the most delicious cake that I have ever eaten the emperor, " said the eunuch was honest.
"Is that really a eunuch?, "asked the emperor Jun in disbelief.
"Truely my emperor did not lie, if you do not believe you can try it yourself, " said the eunuch as he distributed the birthday cake to all members of the Jun emperor's family including the emperor Jun himself.
They ate the cake and were then surprised for a moment and went back to finishing the piece of cake in their hands.
"Well, this cake is delicious, isn't it Rika's sister?, " said Shiera's daughter who sat next to Rika's daughter.
"yes, your sister is right, if you may know the emperor Dai, which daughter of yours is able to make this delicious cake?, "ask Rika's daughter.
"Yes I also want to know, "support emperor Jun.
"The cake was made by my eldest noble daughter, " replied the emperor Dai honestly.
All of them in the hall were shocked to feel that such a foolish and lame person as the crown princess could make such a delicious-looking cake.
"Is that really Manami's daughter?, "asked emperor Jun.
"it's true emperor Jun, I spent my time learning to cook at home, if the emperor likes it I'm very happy about it" Manami said with a bow of respect.
"What a great big brother, can you make another one for me?" asked Shiera's daughter.
"Sister keep talking, forgive my sister, daughter Manami. Please don't take her words seriously, " said Rika's daughter.
"Good noble crown princess," replied Manami.
