For the past few days, he made it a point to keep an eye on her at all times. Like right now. He was sitting in her study room, doing his own work, but also watching her read a book.

"I want to go meet my friend soon." Her voice brought him from his thoughts, looking up at her. After getting kidnapped and almost dying, she wanted to go out?

"Never." He said flatly with a smile on his face, determined to keep her under supervision 24/7. The woman looked like he just murdered her first newborn. A bit dramatic, side, but he wanted to make sure she's safe. The Empress Dowager was still looking for ways to get rid of the people close to him, her newly awakened powers were still unstable and he started to enjoy her presence.
