Chapter 349 The Sisterhood's Decision
"Your Majesty, you know nothing about the power of the Sisterhood."
Helen's tone was particularly flat.
The strength of Atreides was beyond imagination. Only if the Sisterhood closely clung to the royal family could it survive the coming storm.
But this did not mean that the Sisterhood would be humiliated.
In fact, the Sisterhood had not yet determined its ultimate goal. They were not ready to help the royal family eliminate Atreides, nor were they ready to ease relations with Atreides. They were still wavering.
If the royal family was in a mess, it was not ruled out that they would offer Emperor Padishah to the Atreides family.
After all, the royal family had lost its most powerful Sadoka Legion. From any perspective, the royal family was the weaker party in the coming storm, like a little sheep that was bullied by others.
In this case, Helen's attitude towards Padishah was tougher than ever before.
"Just like now, your life depends on my thoughts." Helen did not hide the threat in her words. She stared straight into Padishah's eyes and used her hoarse voice to further stimulate Padishah's inner fear. "As long as I say 'suicide', you will commit suicide, and others will forget that I have been here. In the end, no one will know that your death has anything to do with me." "The great galactic emperor, the pride of the Corino family, the man on the golden lion throne, the eldest son of the galactic civilization." Helen read out a long list of titles, all of which represent Padishah. She paused for two seconds, and a hint of sarcasm appeared in the corners of her eyes under the black veil, and then continued: "The owners of these titles will be terminated on this night of embarrassing escape, fall into the abyss with shame, and meet their heroic ancestors." "Enough! Stop talking!" Padishah's body trembled slightly. He had never seen a face like Helen. In the palace, Helen never dared to speak loudly to him. The loudest sound Helen had ever made to him was a gentle moan when she was asking for love on the bed. Now this sound has become a death threat to him, cold and ruthless, and with a hint of seriousness.
He felt fear from the bottom of his heart.
He had also seen such polarized faces, and they were all despicable villains in the galaxy.
But Helen was different from them.
Helen was the Holy Mother of the Sisterhood, and she possessed many mysterious powers including sound and speech, which he could not control.
Padishah suddenly realized something.
Even when they were enjoying pleasure in bed, he thought he had complete control over Helen, but in fact Helen had never been controlled by him. Instead, he helped Helen and the Sisterhood do a lot of things, and it seemed that he was the one who was controlled between the two.
"Tell me, what do you want?" Padishah took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down with the training he received when he was young. "The Holy Mother should not say these words just for the sake of saying these words, right?"
Padishah looked down at Helen.
Although the situation was beyond Padishah's control, he was the emperor of the Galaxy after all, and his long-standing prestige enabled him to maintain his imperial demeanor.
"You are on the same ship with me. Even if no one remembers that you have been here, as the mysterious Bene Jesseret, you will inevitably be implicated after my death." Padishah had calmed down from his panic. He realized that Helen could not do anything to him here, let alone do anything that would really offend him.
He said in a deep voice: "Tell me your true purpose, otherwise when I return to the imperial capital, the sisterhood will be removed from the Galaxy!"
Helen nodded slightly.
Padishah had also had a period of genius like the ancestors of the Colino family, but the Galaxy had been stable for too long, which had worn away Padishah's will and talent. If Padishah could be re-energized, the future would be worth looking forward to by the sisterhood.
"Great Emperor!" Helen knelt on one knee to Padishah, and she said sincerely, "Today's war is just an accident. The Sisterhood is not as weak as you think. It's just that training each Bene Jesseret consumes huge resources, and we don't want to suffer unnecessary losses."
Helen knelt to Padishah purely out of formality and courtesy. She had no respect for Padishah in her heart.
Padishah also understood this. He immediately asked Helen to stand up and asked, "So what can the Sisterhood do for me, and what do they want from me?"
The strength of the Sisterhood is beyond doubt.
In the past ten thousand years, the Sisterhood has long been secretly influencing the politics and family relations of the empire. They have woven a huge network composed of blood ties between various families, and every move can affect the situation in the galaxy.
Even the royal family dare not underestimate the influence of the Sisterhood, and the members of the Sisterhood have unique skills, such as distinguishing lies and manipulating the behavior of organisms with sound and words. This is why Padishah previously hired Helen as his truth master.
Padishah hired Helen as a truth teller, which was actually the royal family's attempt to win over and show goodwill to the Sisterhood.
Helen is not the only one who can tell lies and be a truth teller. There are many people in the Sisterhood who are younger and prettier than Helen and have the same ability. Padishah chose Helen because of her status as a saint.
The royal family and the Sisterhood had a honeymoon period.
The royal family obtained a lot of intelligence from the Sisterhood and effectively maintained their rule.
But starting from today's disastrous defeat, the cooperative relationship between the two sides is gone forever, unless they can eliminate the Atreides family and return the Milky Way to its past.
"The Sisterhood has unparalleled assassination capabilities. We have many companions on Arrakis who can dedicate themselves to the great cause of the Emperor." Helen smiled kindly and changed the subject, "But after the war, we will take Jessica and Paul away, and we will share the information about the super battleship of the Atreides family with the royal family."
The Sisterhood has been operating on Arrakis for many years, and has planted countless spies, including several genuine Sisterhood members.
These Sisterhood members are powerful assassins who have mastered the sound language.
All they need is a little opportunity to let them infiltrate the Atreides family, and they can complete the assassination of the core members of the Atreides family such as Duke Leto, Duffy Hawat, Duncan Idaho and Gurney Halleck.
The Atreides family has changed so much that the Sisterhood's breeding plan has lost control, and the Atreides family also has deep malice towards the Sisterhood.
As long as the royal family is still worth helping, the Sisterhood does not want to cooperate with the Atreides family.
But Jessica and Paul are what they need. Jessica is an extremely important part of the breeding plan, and Paul may be the Kwisatz Haderak they have been waiting for.
