One month later, an invitation to a party at the manor is posted, but the guest list does not include the name of his or her guest. The guest list also does not specify the time or place of the party. When the guest arrives, he asks for the identity of the guest so that he or she can announce the arrival of the emperor. The emperor tells him that he is still the emperor and that the weather has not prevented the party from taking place. He tells the guest that the fireworks display has been postponed due to bad weather. He asks the guest who he is, and the guest tells him he is the grandson of the grand mentor of the manor. He apologizes for not telling him the truth at the beginning, and asks the emperor to excuse him for not coming out to greet him.
