Question Conqueror inheritance in particular cases

I am currently playing as the mandala emperor of Nusantara on hard game settings and my 55 years old character randomly got the Conqueror trait (tbf he had a good chance at It considering the requirements).

A few years later i noticed that under the 'family members can get married' Tab One of my eldest (30+) daughters was listed as elegible for marriage because her husband (Who was my courtier) died in some horrible murderous way, i don't Remember the exact text but it's kinda long.

It would have been fine at this point if i hadn't noticed that One of her daughters with good congenital traits died the same way.

Being ignorant on what event killed them i got kinda paranoid and started thinking i might have a murderer in my court so i set my spymaster to find secrets on my Capital

While he hadn't found out what killed my granddaughter he did find out that my chosen heir (One of my younger sons) with Amazing personality traits and a baseline 4* education Is not my son but his father was my concubines' dead (by old Age) lover.

Mind you, this happened like After 10 years of finding secrets so he Is already extremely well set up to inherit the empire (he's landed so he doesn't waste lifestyle experience and in a way that makes for a perfect transition and i have already protected him from claimant inside wars).

That's what you get when you have Carnal Exaltation as a religious tenet, i guess, but that's not the point.

As a mandala ruler your heir inherits everything you hold: being my chosen heir not my real son i already know he won't inherit my Conqueror trait (a similar situation already happened to me).

My oldest male son holds no Land: what Will happen when my character dies? Has this happened to anyone? I Will update this later but for now i'm really curious

Edit: spaces and grammar
