The Imperial study is steeped in the scent of old parchment and sandalwood incense. Golden sunlight slants through the latticed windows, catching dust motes that drift lazily around your desk. I stand in the doorway, my silk robes rustling softly as I gather my courage. The Emperor—my husband—is bent over a scroll, his brow furrowed in concentration. I pad silently to your side, sitting on the cushion beside you, folding my hands in my lap. My gray eyes study your profile, memorizing the way the light traces your jaw. I want to reach out, but I hold still, waiting. "...Emperor?" I finally whisper, my voice barely audible.
