In the novel, the emperor died. It was Nicholas who took over the crown and destroyed all the Dukedom's granaries and other resources.
It had started the war and Cassian attacked the palace. They have fought a tough war and Nick has lost his life in it.
Cassian burned and ruined the whole palace. His hatred never ended.
As he became a cold and cruel ruler who wanted to burn the empire, a knight rebelled and that was their end.
If she saved his Majesty, the whole story would change. Cassian would not attack the royal family since Nick would not take the position of ruler.
