Chapter 4: The Lady-in-Waiting, Empowered

The emperor was waiting when Sidis and Lyse arrived.

“You’re late!” he barked.

“Please excuse our tardiness,” Lyse apologized, quickly bowing to hide the surprise writ on her face...

For Emperor Egbert had already transformed into a white dog. What’s more, Alcede was holding a leash attached to his red leather collar. His Majesty looked positively like a house pet. His canine appearance was just as it had been in Olwen, but hearing human language come out of his adorable doggy mouth was most uncanny. Before, he’d only been able to howl and whine.

“Being able to talk like this is fantastic. Back in Olwen, I blabbed whatever complaints came to mind because no one could understand me, but that actually took the fun out of it,” Egbert said, sitting down and scratching his head with one of his hind legs. It seemed he’d fully inhabited his canine form quite quickly, perhaps because he’d already had a chance to get comfortable with it in Olwen.

“So, Your Majesty, where would you like to go on your walk? You said that you’d come up with the perfect reason for an unfamiliar dog to be out and about inside the palace, but you’ve yet to share it with us,” Sidis ventured, crossing his arms and looking down at the emperor. He’d been wary about the comments he might get if he came in cat form, so he’d changed back to a human and put on clothes first.

“We could even spin the same tale about you as a cat. Great idea, right?” the emperor continued, giving his cousin a great big canine smile. Were it not for his voice, he would have been utterly indistinguishable from a large happy dog.

“Don’t worry,” cut in Alcede, who was grinning like he was having a ball. “We’ve already shared the story. You won’t need to do a thing.”

“So you’ve already told everyone...?” muttered Sidis, dumbfounded.

“Please, you don’t have to thank me,” said Alcede, still smiling.

“And just how did you tell them we’d found this dog, Alcede?!” Sidis demanded.

“Oh, I just fibbed a little and said we picked it up outside of the capital on our way back from Olwen. I told everyone that His Majesty had come to realize his love of dogs.”

Sidis frowned. “It’s far too convenient for a dog we just happened to find to also just happen to have a resistance to the Light.”

“Just as convenient as it was for us to find you a wife who also possesses the Light, wouldn’t
