BG3 - Emperor Reveals He Was Mind Controlling Duke Stelmane

After going to the hideout underneath the Elfsong tavern (the emperor’s old hideout), the emperor will come to you at your next long rest. In this playthrough I attempted to kill him when Vlaakith asks you to at the gith creche. Typically, this is where he’d attempt to romance you but not in my case due to me attempting to kill him.
