The Emperor laughed in a rather mocking way. "Did you think we would openly state it if we were to back a coup? Truly? I think you have much to learn in the way of politics still, Ylgim Skycrown. If this coup had failed - and chances still are it might - then we would immediately be at war with the Dominion. Not at a moment of our choosing, but immediately, without us having any say in it. You are wrong. You have reason to trust me, for I am your Emperor - whether you are willing to accept that as a fact or not. No, if the Empire goes to war, I need to be able to trust you to not take your chances to try and wrestle as much of Skyrim into your control as possible." Remaunes' eyes shot towards another figure, close by. "What is this talk of plans and embassies? What have you been plotting?"
Jon sighed. "Emperor, what do you know of the Civil War? More specifically, what do you know... of the Grimmsdottir?" He stroke his beard for a moment before continuing. "Skyrim has been oppressed by the Thalmor. They are enemies of Talos, and therefore enemies of existence. If they would have their way, worship of Talos would be eradicated for good, and as such, Mundus, and by extension, Nirn, would collapse on itself. Which leads me back to my question... What do you know of the Grimmsdottir?" He crossed his arms.
