Chapter 11

Jessica discovers a secret conservatory within the Atreides residence on Arrakis, a rare and lavish wet-climate room that uses an extraordinary amount of water, symbolizing power and wealth. She deciphers a hidden Bene Gesserit message warning of danger to her son Paul and the Duke, linked to a death trap in a bedroom. Paul narrowly escapes an assassination attempt by a hunter-seeker, confirming the presence of internal betrayal and Harkonnen sabotage.
