Thufir Hawat, hans fars snigmordermester, havde forklaret ham det hele: Deres dødsfjender, Huset Harkonnen, havde i firs år haft Arrakis som kvasi-len. De havde underskrevet en kontrakt med CHOAM og fået koncession på produktionen af melange, ungdomskrydderiet. Nu rejste Huset Harkonnen, og i stedet havde Huset Atreides fået Arrakis som fuld-len ... hvilket så ud til at være en sejr for hertug Leto. Men Hawat havde sagt, at denne tilsyneladende sejr var dødsensfarlig, eftersom hertug Leto var vellidt blandt Landsrådets Store Huse.
»En vellidt mand vækker de mægtiges misundelse,« havde Hawat sagt.
Arrakis ... Dune ... The desert planet.
Thufir Hawat, his father's Assassin master, had explained it all to him: their mortal enemies, the House of Harkonnen, had for eighty years held Arrakis as their quasi-fief. They had signed a contract with CHOAM and obtained a concession on the production of melange, the youth spice. Now the House of Harkonnen left, and instead the House of Atreides had Arrakis as its fief ... which seemed to be a victory for Duke Leto. But Hawat had said that this apparent victory was fatal, since Duke Leto was well-liked among the Great Houses of the National Council.
"A well-liked man arouses the envy of the mighty," Hawat had said.
