Everyone turns around, only to see the Dragon Emperor is nowhere to be seen. On seeing him missing Ash, Serena and Delia stand up along with Grace who's already standing upright.
"Where's he Serena?" Grace inquirers.
"I don't know mom? He was sitting here a few minutes back." Serena answers in a soft confused tone.
Everyone glances at one another. Neither is sure what to do. Suddenly a spark occurs in the air and from that spark a piece of paper, which is smoking, slowly drifts down and lands in front of Serena. Without a moment's delay, Serena picks up the paper and reads what is in it. She reads for a moment then passes the paper to Ash. Ash reads the paper then tosses it into the air following which it catches fire and vanishes.
"What happened Serena? That was the Dragon Emperor's message, wasn't it?" Grace asks.
"Yup." Serena replies in a low tone.
"And?" Delia asks.
"He said he has something important to attend to and instructed us to proceed with the cutting of our wedding cake." Serena replies in a soft tone. She is clearly disappointed but composes herself quickly and gives everyone a fake smile.
"I suppose that we should proceed with the cake cutting and then the farewell dinner." Grace says as the cake is brought in front of Ash and Serena. Ash and Serena put aside their sadness and decide to focus their attention back to the task at hand. Serena takes the knife in her right hand and then Ash gently puts his fingers around her hand. Then they both cut the cake together while everyone claps and cheers for them. Ash then takes a piece of cake in his hand.
"My lovely wife Serena, accept this as an offering of my love." Ash says as he feeds Serena with the piece of cake. Serena blushes as she chews the cake. Then she takes a piece of cake and then says.
"Ash, my husband, eats this as a symbol of my love." Serena says as Ash gladly eats the cake out of her hands. All the boys and girls wolf whistle while all the adults beam at this display of affection. Soon Ash and Serena feed their mothers with a piece of cake. Following this servers appear who cut the cake into numerous slices and serve them to everyone. Everyone gets immersed in conversation while they are eating cake and drinking champagne.
Suddenly a sweet soft feminine voice echoes throughout the hall which catches everyone's attention.
"Mommy?" A small girl with purplish black hair says who's at the door and is poking her head through the doorway.

"Hello there." Serena says in a warm tone as she sees the girl looking here and there. The girl appears to be shy and doesn't respond.
"Don't be afraid. Come here." Serena says in a gentle tone as she smiles at the girl. The girl hesitatingly tiptoes her way over to Serena. Everyone else looks at this sweet girl in a curious manner.
