When Marx and Amaya returned to the banquet hall, the guests were presenting their gifts to the crown prince.
As per tradition, the crown prince would select a dozen gifts and open them during the banquet in front of all the guests. The giver of the gift will be called on stage to provide the explantion.
"The last gift that will be opened is a gift from Princess Amaya!" The deep and pleasant sound of the emcee filled the entire banquet hall. "Princess, please come up the stage."
Marx escorted Amaya to the stage.
Amaya's gift was placed inside a square brocade box that was 31 centimeters tall. She carefully unraveled the bow of the golden ribbon, pressed a mechanism on top of the box and it split in half.
A collective gasp was heard from the audience as a magnificent crown appeared inside a glass encasement.
