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 Princeâs 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 â one of Johnâs â around himself.
âYou never cease to amaze me, Dad,â he said. âHowâd you do it?â
âIf you ever experience love, youâll understand,â 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 Princeâs Pavilion.
We walked through another silent courtyard, past an alert American guard armed with a rifle who nodded to the King and Andy.
âWhat do they see?â I said.
âAmerican officers,â the King said. âThey think theyâre in the Middle East fighting to liberate a democratic republic from radical insurgents, and freeing the local population from religious oppression and ethnic cleansing.â
âPriceless,â Andy said.
He opened the door to the Crown Princeâs Pavilion and the scent of Martinâs favourite incense and Leoâs 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; theyâd been furnishing a room for Buffy for when she was big enough to come up.
Smally was waiting for me in Leo and Martinâs bedroom, next to their custom-made leather-trimmed waterbed. She stood silently, rigid with terror.
I rounded on the King. âWhat did you do to her?â
He raised his hands. âI found your maid, had her put some stuff together for you, and brought her here. I want you to be comfortable, Emma.â He dropped his hands. âSettle down.â
I turned back to Smally. âDid he hurt you?â
She opened and closed her mouth but was too scared to make a sound.
âGo back to sleep and weâll come for you tomorrow morning,â the King said. âBig day tomorrow, caging the reptile. Should be fun.â
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. âLike the new human form? It cost me a fortune.â
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.
