Kai looked at the pile of work before him. It has been months since his return to the realm. Of course, he didn't let the world know that he was present.
Except for his special secret agent, only Mika and Esmeralda were aware of his presence. That also meant that he couldn't stay in his palace.
On this day, he was bombarded by work. Although Mika was in charge temporarily, there were things he couldn't handle. Some of the people Kai had under his control only trusted him.
Since he and Zander departed, his heart felt empty. Despite his prior knowledge of the bond being shut off, every day, he would reach out in the hope of feeling her at least.
Several doused hope, many attempts and failed look link. His resolve didn't die down. It only increased. He had faith that she would one day let them in.
So engrossed in work, he was lost to the world until he felt it. An overwhelming feeling. At first, he dismissed it as his mind playing tricks on him.
