Paul And Irulan Are Distantly Related--and They Study At The Same University. However, They Can't Stand

Paul and Irulan are distantly related--and they study at the same university. However, they can't stand each other and spend all their time arguing with each other.

This carries on through their university career, postgraduate school and their jobs for Empire Industries, for which Paul's father works in a very senior position and in which Irulan's dad is the CEO.

Until the day that Paul's dad is sent to Arrakis, to clean up the mess that Paul's granddad, Vladimir Harkonnen, and cousins Glossu Rabban and Feyd-Rautha made. Paul is sent as his assistant and Irulan is told she has to choose one of the Harkonnen boys to marry; he will run the company and she will be a dutiful corporate wife.

Paul and his parents are trying to understand who's behind the acts of sabotage against them and their team on Arrakis. And Leto and Paul are trying to make a deal with the Fremen, who don't like their land being exploited. It's then that he runs into Chani, his girlfriend in University, who's working along with her mother as an environmental scientist.

On one of the planets they visit, where the people, not just the nobles or the wealthy, are connoisseurs of art and literature, and enjoy the good life, Paul is very surprised to take second place to his wife. They gush over her clothes and sense of style and the prince of that planet has the temerity to not only praise his wife's learning and beauty at a state banquet, he also dances with her, to Paul's fury.
