Several months later, their wishes come true. Queen had become pregnant. All the people in the kingdom was delighted. They flooded into the palace with the prize.

Nine months later, the Queen gave birth to a daughter. Inhabitants of the land went back to send the little princess of different prizes. The baby had grown into a funny child. A dozen years later, he had become a beautiful teenager.

They carry a variety of very beautiful gifts. Prabu collected the presents a lot of it, then save it in the court room. From time to time, he could use it for the benefit of the people.
