The fact is after receiving forbidden knowledge from Mora, Miraak betrayed his Dragon masters, killed them and absorbed their souls.

The Dragonborn himself is a mortal with Soul of a Dragon, that is one, plus 2 more from main quest.

By defeating Miraak. He is 1, during the fight he absorbed 4, Miraak also killed at least 1 to 6 more Dragons many years ago this 5 to 10 souls is in addition to whatever he stole from the Dragonborn after LDB killed him, as there is no contradiction with any lore here, it is an ingame fact that has no contradiction with the lore.

Therefore by beating Miraak. The LDB becomes a colleciton of the following Dragon Souls.

LDB (3) + Miraak (himself + 4 to 9) At least 13 Dragon Souls assuming LDB did not kill more Dragons who sides with Alduin.

Again, there is no need to prove, it is just how things work for politics. Well, unless you agree that the Mede Empire's Emperor and Elder Council are the most incompetent politician that no one can be as incompetent as they are... yeah, they only do their job whenever they meet. So yes let's go with you're right. Titus Mede II and his useless Elder Council are the most useless, disorganized incompetent fools who deserves to be Thalmor bitches. I thought we were talking souls prior to Miraak -- absorbed souls that is.

Miraak used said souls to get shouts, the souls we have by only completing the main questlines are the canon amount of souls we have. If the LDB didn't kill any Dragons prior to killing Miraak after the main questline, Miraak won't claim them either.

LDB (3) + Miraak (5~10) + the Dragon at the Western Watchtower + Kynesgrove = 15 (max) and 10 (min)

The Elder Council worked like that under the rule of the Septim Dynsaty and the Reman Emppire, nothing shows that that has changed. Hence why for example the Elder Council Chambers during the Oblivion Crisis are nearly empty; because they need to handle local affairs. Also, there is no "Mede Empire", it's the Third Empire.
