His Servant (Dune)

|NINE|

GAIUS HELEN MOHIAM:

She sat in a chair with gold embellishments. Taking a sip of of water from a glass she looked at the lady before her.

Lady Margot Fenring looked at the Reverend mother. "What is wrong?"

Gaius Helen Mohiam pursed her lips.
"Feyd-Rautha is an imbecile."

Lady Margot Raised an eyebrow.  "Is it about spice?"

Helen shook her head. "I sent you to seduce him in order to preserve the bloodline. That idiot may have fallen for you, but apparently not hard enough."

Lady Margot paused then spoke, "Why does it matter? I'm already carrying his child."

Helen clenched her glass tightly. "He's in love with a servant girl, when he was presenting about spice she was in the room, they exchanged little gestures."

"So?"

Lady Margot rolled her eyes. "What is the problem?"

The reverend mother looked at her.

"Nanali, is not a Harkonnen rooted name."

Lady Margot looked confused. "I'm still not seeing the problem, one of her parents probably aren't of Harkonnen descent."

Helen took another sip.

"Nanali has Bene Gesserit Roots. Nana translates to planet, li to walker. Planet walker."

Lady Margot's mouth opened. "But no Bene Gesserit ever birthed a girl named Nanali."

Helen drummed her fingers on her chair.

"Before Lady Jessica messed up our plans, do you remember Ameza?"

Lady Margot thought for a bit. "That girl you trained along with Jessica?"

Helen nodded.

"She fell in love with a disgraced Harkonnen man. After we refused to allow their relationship she ran away."

Lady Margot's eyes widened. "So if this Nanali is actually the Daughter of Ameza Fallow, she would be a high ranking Bene Gesserit-"

The Reverend Mother nodded. "Feyd-Rautha already has a child on the way. If anything were to happen between the two it could be disastrous. When lady Jessica gave Leto a son she had a small clue what might happen. Nanli if actually the daughter of a high ranking Bene Gesserit, Any child of hers could be gifted to a Reverend mother extent."

Lady Margot took a deep breath. "What are you going to do?"

Helen sighed. "They most likely will not go farther in any kind of relationship, both have duties to preform for house Harkonnen. I assume Nanali is untrained, Ameza was never a big fan of Bene Gesserit Training. But I will be checking the girls blood line with the Baron."

"What does Planet Walker even Represent?" Lady Margot asked.

Thinking for a moment, Helen finally answered. "Possibly Nanali's position, Ameza was a gifted Bene Gesserit. She has the same abilities as lady Jessica. Therefore it would stand to reason that Nanali could have every Bene Gesserit skill, but also have freedom. Walk on many different planets."

Lady Margot nodded slowly. The Woman continued to talk but slowly shifted topics...

I sat waiting for Feyd. His room seemed emptier his absence. Suddenly the doors opened and he walked in.

Feyd-Rautha's eyes were dark and hooded.

I stood up and walked over to him. He hugged me tightly. "I'm worried about the Witch."

His hands were holding me almost as if he were afraid to let go. "Why what happened?"

"She was asking about your heritage."

I looked up confused. "What, why?"

"I have no idea." He sighed. "She said it was Bene Gesserit Business."

I pondered this for a moment. "If she asks to speak with me I'll agree. I don't understand why she would be interested in my family though."

Feyd picked me up and set me on the bed. "I won't let anything happen to you, whatever she tries you tell me."

"Keep that sword on you, baldy..."
