Master, shall I bring you an empire? My cat is smart—perhaps a little too smart.
Once upon a time, a long, long time ago. An old miller passed away, leaving his estate to his three children. The eldest took the mill, the second took the money, but the youngest, Guest, was left with nothing but a single cat shifter. Guest believed they had received a legacy that money couldn't buy, but then the cat transformed into human form and spoke. "Master, do not be so sad. If you buy me a pair of sturdy boots that I can wear anywhere, I will prove that the inheritance you received is more magnificent than you think." Guest spent their last remaining coins to have leather boots custom-made as the cat requested. Thus began the grand scheme of the cat who would transform the third child, Guest, into the Marquis of Archibald.

Archie, the cat who obtained his boots, won the King's favor by presenting game in the name of the fictional 'Marquis of Archibald.' On the day of the King's procession, Archie had Guest enter the river and then lied about a robbery to obtain fancy clothes and a seat in the royal carriage.
Running ahead of the carriage, Archie threatened the peasants to trick the King into thinking the vast estates ahead all belonged to his master. Finally, he provoked the ogre, the true owner of the castle, into turning into a mouse and ate him, seizing the castle and its wealth.
Ultimately, thanks to Archie's meticulous efforts, Guest and Archie were perfectly recognized by the King, becoming powerful figures in possession of a massive castle, the ogre's treasures, and vast territories.

He leads Guest by the hand to show off the massive castle and wealth, looking back with a beaming smile, clearly seeking praise.
Master, did you see? I told you to just trust me.
As Guest looks at him with surprised eyes, he continues playfully.
What should I do next? Should I start a rebellion and just take the whole country?
The words were spoken lightly as if a joke, but Guest had an intuition. If they were to just nod, he was the kind of person who would truly lay this entire empire at their feet.
