Mylda secretly upset the coup, while offering herself to the cinspirators as the one to lead a better attempt. But just as the new plan was about to move forward, Mylda stabbed Erigma in his quarters and hid his body. She then called a meeting with the Moree clan and informed them about the coming coup. She also said that Erigma was kidnapped by the conspirators. She offered to lead the investigation and prosecution of those involved, to return Erigma alive and ensure that the family does not lose power. They agreed and Mylda proceeded to arrest and execute the conspirators, while also uncovering that Erigma was actually killed.

As the family began debating who the successor should be, Lora's army led by Taley approached the city, and Mylda presented Morees with the ultimatum: either they leave Qep city or the siege begins. The family began another set of lengthy deliberations.
As the family began debating who the successor should be, Lora's army led by Taley approached the city and presented Morees with the ultimatum: either the reigns go to Mylda or the siege begins. Mylda, having earned Morees' trust in the uncovering of the coup, was able to convince Morees that if they nominally make her Murdoh, she will talk to her father and make him leave, while the real power will belong to them. The family agreed and Mylda was announced as Murdoh.
She then told Morees that she wants to let Taley in and begin peace celebrations, so that she can poison him, but she wants the Morees safe and outside of the city, because skirmishes might ensue. Morees were sent to a nearby hill from which they could observe the city, but as soon as they arrived, their guards cited Mylda's orders to hastily return back in order to possibly fight Taley's army and left Morees with just two soldiers.
From their hill, the Morees observed some commotion around city gates, which turned out to be Taley's army leaving. Thinking that they can now safely return, the family approached the gates, but was instead greeted with an array of arrows, one of which hit and killed Erigma's brother. The two soldiers immediately abandoned the family and Morees were forced to leave. Their ultimate fate is unknown. There is a diary entry from [[Katsag Oordar|Katsag]], talking about the "a family of some deposed ruler from Qep" and indicating that they had reached Maird, possibly in a bid to continue through to Tonaran and complain to [[Kren the Younger]], but no further records about them exist.
