If the Imperial Court caught the Vanguard actively digging up dirt on the Empress's bloodline, the Su faction would instantly twist the narrative, framing the Marcusets for treason and turning her grandparents into political prey.
Heena absolutely refused to put a target on her grandparents' backs. 'Why dirty your own hands and risk your own family when you can just manipulate someone else into doing the dirty work for you?'
