I do not recall them specifically stating that Titus Mede II did not have an heir, nor even that Mottiere wanted to the Ruby Throne for himself. He mentions that he has already done much maneuvering and that the assassination will be greatly beneficial, but beyond that he does not tell us much at all, not enough to gauge who will succeed Titus Mede II with certainty. Again, at his age, the only reason I would think of for him not to have a male heir would be if he were to be assassinated elsewhere, without our current knowledge, but this is just conjecture. We cannot be sure of what will happen next, but I do believe it is unlikely the Emperor did not have plan for succession.
