"I do have something I need to talk to you about, Emperor Kaiden. But that can wait until you are finished working. I can wait here for now."
It was much easier for Danielle to breathe with Emperor Kaiden around, and she wanted to maximize her time there. That was why she was willing to wait this time, even though she had never waited before for anything.
Emperor Kaiden gave her an annoyed glance that made her heart sink, but before she could defend herself, he went back to work and ignored her.
Every second Danielle spent near Emperor Kaiden felt like an eternity. She wanted to hear his voice and talk to him. She wanted the emperor to smile at her and tell her about the things he liked and did not like.
But at the same time, she did not want to push the emperor too much because he was fragile, and she did not want to stress him. Her emotions and reason were fighting inside her head at the moment.
