Well, the second incident, or second wave of incidents rather, wasn't long after she'd been deemed old enough to make the choices over the fates of worlds. The' Ae'ani aren't silly enough to give that kind of power to children, so even the royalty have to wait until they're deemed old enough. There was a long time between the the first incident, and her being given the right to destroy races, so there was nothing she could actually do to reveal her feelings.

I should clarify another detail as well, the Emperor can't oversee his entire empire at once, he psychicly traverses his empire with his mind, sweeping over it to see what's going on, looking at every detail, it takes a lot of focus to pull it off- something like an intergalactic Psychic Eye of Sauron(?). He wouldn't need senates and efficient administration systems to help him if he could cosmic telepathy everything. ^^

Even though he does it "day to day", it takes a while to look over everything, and then he has other work and meetings and such to focus on, so he's limited in that regard. Spending time with his daughters is done both telepathically and in person as well. The power to telepathically watch and influence 100s of galaxies at once, and in comfort, would be Awakened territory. ^^

(This is why I should stop being lazy these days and fully complete pages before I put them up. ^^;;)

Another detail, the planets she butchers (after the second wave of incidents) are ones the Ae'ani would be rid of anyway, she just skips all the official channels and procedures of doing it and does it by herself on the spot. (Yes, there is an official procedure for the removal of a race/planet.) When she does this, she is scolded, but at the end of the day her decision wasn't outside of Ae'ani guidelines, so the Emperor can't really do much else.

There is the odd case of her "unjustly" (in Ae'ani terms) killing off a race, but each time she was severly punished for it. It's not like she can just go running around the universe, murdering everything before teatime and nobody bats a eye. ^^;; (Unless I think of something better, this has happened three times, and each time she was given a 10,000 year ban on such acitivies, and was grounded on their home world for these periods as well. It hasn't happened since the third time, around 40,000 years ago. ^^)
