1)I think that Jessamine was too powerful a persona... too certain for Delilah to possess. By having Jessamine taken out of the way, Emily (whose mind and persona are effected by Corvo's influence - ie Low/High Chaos) is still malleable, and therefore easier for Delilah to possess. I don't think Delilah was clever enough to orchestarte this... but she had a fine ability as an opportunist.

So yes, I think it was simply Jessamine being killed

2) The whole 'she has taken my life' line is simply Delilah being whiney.

Boo-hoo... I was Jessamine's friend, I was let in the Tower at one time, I studied under Sokolov, I involved myself with Timsh... yadda yadda. She thought she should have all the luxuries associated with rulership/aristocracy.

She doesn't see Emily as having any of that right... other than ya know, by birth.

To me, it's just her being whiney.
