In a secret meeting with representatives of the Spacing Guild, the Baron states: "Duke Leto is a traitor to the Imperium—he conspires with Fremen rebels to overthrow the Emperor himself.

Unbeknownst to the Baron, a Guild navigator records the conversation and later shares it with Count Fenring, a close advisor to the Emperor.
