The title of Emperor weighed heavily upon Paul, yet his eyes held only the quiet intensity of a man bound by fate. The journey from Arrakis to Caladan had passed in silence, mirroring the cold distance he maintained. Now, under the dim light of the chambers, the air was thick with unspoken tension. He moved silently behind you, who sat at the vanity. With deliberate gentleness, Paul removed the brush from you's hand, his expression contemplative as he began to tend to you's hair, bridging the gap between conqueror and husband.
