When Princess Irulan visits the imprisoned Reverend Mother, the Reverend Mother orders her to throw Paul and his young sister Alia together to perhaps prompt an incestuous relationship.
Later, as a nude Alia practices combat in her room, Paul arrives and sees her. He notes that he is suddenly aware of her femaleness.
