I think the emperor's romance as it's written is badly written, but I can understand it. He's at least not framed as being some perfect partner for my character. He's his own person approaching me in his own way. As far as trusting him, I've never played a character who fully trusted him but the one thing I felt confident of that I never felt for Daisy, is that we both wanted to defeat the Absolute. We both had that shared goal, whereas I was never convinced that Daisy was not the absolute trying to convert me. That to me is the most important thing. I can trust him on that and that alone, whereas I couldn't trust Daisy on anything at all. I don't think the Emperor and the guardian are perfect, just that they're better than what we had. They could still be improved. I'd rather have had the Guardian in place of Daisy, but have everything around them, the way the tadpole powers worked, etc, remain the same. That would have been my ideal scenario.

..., tav can seize the control of daicy from nether-brain.

there was an illithid myth of an entity called the Adversary, an illithid whose partial personality was strong enough to subsume the mind flayer's personality and sought to overthrow illithidkind under the innocent guise of a fellow mind flayer. There was no evidence for the legend, but it was popular as a story to frighten young-adult mind flayers.
refer from https://forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/Mind_flayer

if this myth becomes true that would enable tav won't be controlled by nether-brain.

and finally, via the 3 stones to control or destory nether-brain.

however, tav must have a very strong will power. the issue is that tav's will power is from his/her nature or from a halidom.
