We landed in the residential part of the Northern Heavens Imperial Palace. It was dark and quiet; everybody was sleeping. I looked around and recognised the courtyard between the Imperial Residence and the Crown Prince’s Pavilion. The Ancient Dragon Tree was visible through the moon gate on my right. This used to be my own front yard. The tents were still present in the courtyard, but there were no signs of life.

Andy Ho walked out of the Imperial Residence and stopped at the moon gate, wrapping a black silk robe — one of John’s — around himself.

‘You never cease to amaze me, Dad,’ he said. ‘How’d you do it?’

‘If you ever experience love, you’ll understand,’ the King said.

Andy shook his head, bewildered. He pushed his feet harder into his cheap plastic slippers, nodded to the King, and led us to the Crown Prince’s Pavilion.

We walked through another silent courtyard, past an alert American guard armed with a rifle who nodded to the King and Andy.

‘What do they see?’ I said.

‘American officers,’ the King said. ‘They think they’re in the Middle East fighting to liberate a democratic republic from radical insurgents, and freeing the local population from religious oppression and ethnic cleansing.’

‘Priceless,’ Andy said.

He opened the door to the Crown Prince’s Pavilion and the scent of Martin’s favourite incense and Leo’s cologne filled the air, making my throat ache.

The living room held a modern European-style leather couch flanked by antique Qing rosewood chairs, and a Ming-style coffee table inlaid with mother-of-pearl. Their little dining area had a round rosewood table with comfortable Western chairs. The floor was polished wood, and the house was traditional courtyard style with all the rooms looking into a central garden. Three cardboard boxes were stacked next to the wall in the dining room; they’d been furnishing a room for Buffy for when she was big enough to come up.

Smally was waiting for me in Leo and Martin’s bedroom, next to their custom-made leather-trimmed waterbed. She stood silently, rigid with terror.

I rounded on the King. ‘What did you do to her?’

He raised his hands. ‘I found your maid, had her put some stuff together for you, and brought her here. I want you to be comfortable, Emma.’ He dropped his hands. ‘Settle down.’

I turned back to Smally. ‘Did he hurt you?’

She opened and closed her mouth but was too scared to make a sound.

‘Go back to sleep and we’ll come for you tomorrow morning,’ the King said. ‘Big day tomorrow, caging the reptile. Should be fun.’

He patted Andy on the shoulder as he went out.

Andy untied his robe and opened it to reveal his nakedness. Smally gasped with horror and crouched to bury her face into the side of the bed.

Andy ignored her, proudly displaying his golden skin, tight over his muscular chest and abs. ‘Like the new human form? It cost me a fortune.’

He winked and thrust his pelvis towards me, showing off his oversized genitalia. His erection grew to an inhuman size, well past where his navel would be if he was human.
