Desmond Hart and Pruwet Richese establish stakes Dune: Prophecy
Poor little Prewett. All he wants to do is play with his absolutely adorable, potentially murderous, AI-controlled lizard. As the nine-year-old Richese heir, he was used as a pawn in a strategic alliance between his family and the royal family of Corino. Emperor Corino needs Riches’ fleet to protect his spice business in Arrakis from the Fremen, and the treacherous Duke Ferdinand Riches (Brandon Cowell) hopes to Due to the influential relationship of the large family, a marriage is arranged between the minor Prewett and the adult Princess Ines (Sarah-Sophie Bousnina) in Bey Families were united with the secret help of the Nee Gesserit.
Unfortunately for Prewett, he becomes a casualty in an invisible war that soldier Desmond Hart implies is fought against the Bene Gesserit’s manipulation of everyone’s behavior Influence.

Children die. However, we never see any children die, nor do any children become the focus of on-screen killings.

Why did Desmond Hart kill Pruverichse?
To simplify the reasons for this shocking killing, Prewett was killed by Hart because of a lizard toy controlled by his artificial intelligence. Apart from this isolated incident, Prewett was murdered because Hart suspected that the attack on his health establishment and the theft of the Corino family’s spice shipments were intended to inspire their emperor to introduce Riches’ fleet to the protection, thereby threatening the Corino family. When Hart shared his report on the raid on Operation Spice (which he suspected Kasha was unaware of), he said the equipment used in the raid came from outside sources. That toy, and the wealthy man’s convenient proposal of marriage, were enough to convince Hart that they were behind the attack.
This is why we see Kai’Sa suffer the same painful fate as Prewett. Hart had a feeling that the Bene Gesserit was manipulating powerful men like Emperor Corino for their own ulterior purposes. Prewett’s death effectively dismantled the partnership between the two families, removing them from within the Corino family and allowing them to do untold damage.
We still don’t know the true consequences of Hart’s actions, or how he was able to kill both men in the same way, while only being next to one of them. But if the series premiere is willing to cross moral lines that the film never explicitly touches, we can expect to discover in graphic detail just how violent this war can become.
