Meledran looked thoughtful for a moment.

'Princess Marya is the Emperor's only child, and so is his only heir. He's getting too old to have any more children, and besides - his wife died years ago. Therefore, if the princess died, there would be no-one to carry on the throne from Kamodus' bloodline. They'd have to make one of the other nobles king, and it's likely they'd all squabble over it. That could lead to the exact kind of anarchy that the provinces need to split apart. Of course, it's all very well thinking this kind of stuff over, but it's not exactly easy to waltz in and kill the princess.'

The Bosmer looked round after another minute. 'I never actually asked - why is it that you want to assassinate the royals?'
