(No problem, I wasn't really expecting an answer.)
This is one of those cases when I'm happy to be wrong. I just thought you should know that when experienced fantasy buffs hear allusions to "the emperor" (and probably "the king"), that thought will be in our minds because it's the cliche fantasy thing to do. You might, if you wanted, play up this "emperor" character as a red herring for your readers - or not, as you see fit.
