If you didn't want to kill the Emperor you should not have joined the Brotherhood. I knew I was going to kill the emperor, but just before I did so I wanted to find out if there was an alternative course. I was asking if someone else had tested it and found otherwise, or had ideas on other possibilities if he remained alive. I was not asking for someone treating me like an ignorant child for asking if there were possibilities they later decided against and made unavailable, like marrying the Elisif the Fair.
