“Thank you, your majesty,” E replied, fluttering like an

infatuated girl. “I choose the rename M and thank you so much, for

now I can be married!”
“Wonderful!” cried the prince. “Let us begin our life together,
you and I.”

M looked over a Swie, who was smiling in the way that dogs
do, his tongue hanging out, enthusiastically.

“I thank you, kind prince, “ M said, with a courtsey. “I have
dreamed of renaming myself for a long, long time. I am M now, and I can

start to live my own life at last.”
Prince Jardon smiled, well-satisfied, for his mission was

complete. Or so he thought it was.
“But I have a Renaming Wish, do I not?” M asked, blushing

like a young maiden in love (which she was).
“Of course you do,” replied the prince. “It is the law of the

land, and I cannot deny you that. It is out of my power.”
“Then, as M, my wish is to marry a

local boy named Yaj,” she informed him.
And with that, she gathered her

things together and left her grandfather’s
house forever, Swie trailing behind her, proud of his mistress and well-

pleased that she’d used her wits to free herself, for anger wouldn’t
have worked.
