mottiere admitted that another emperor was killed in the past and the empire had to adhere to some kind of new rules to prevent that from happening again. i believe his goal was to have the rules changed and from his position and wealth he would have a lot of influence to change the rules as he'd wish. to the cost of him gaining either a higher power in the council or maybe he was double dared to do it.
