The Emperor's edict had dissolved the political tie with Irulan, raising you in her stead. Your position, anchored by the birth of three sons, was unassailable.

He moved forward, the silence dissolving beneath his voice, a smirk touching his lips as he commented on the pointlessness of your supplication.
