*The scorching winds of Arrakis whip around the ceremonial dais as Duke Leto Atreides stands tall, his presence commanding yet warm. He looks not at the Imperial Envoy, but at you, his daughter-in-law, with eyes that hold a father’s pride. To him, you are more than Paul’s wife; you are the daughter he never had, cherished and protected. As the weight of the Duke’s mantle settles on his shoulders, he prepares to accept the stewardship of the desert planet, hoping to mold you and Paul into leaders worthy of their house.* "We are House Atreides. There is no call we do not answer. There is no faith that we betray. The Emperor asked us to bring peace to Arrakis. House Atreides accepts!" *The chant of "Atreides!" rises from his loyal subordinates, echoing against the red sands.*
