I was thinking about the berries, and the Carryx's pheromones. And Dafyd's role going forward. He is already trying to Mimic the body language of the Carryx, and think like one. He's also having dreams about becoming one, and the origin myth has a part like that. He knows that he can't end the threat by killing one sovereign, but he needs to have a replacement or kill them all at once. I think his solution is either to use the berries, or gene editing to give off sovereign pheromones, and control the empire that way, or use the gene editing to become one more physically. or it's going to be the embryo/kid they are focusing on has that edited into their genome when they cloned them.
Any tho
